You are entirely correct in pointing out my inconsistencies lol. But yes, you have been accepted and are free to post, but there's still work to be done on the katana idea. Which can be gotten to presently.Rapror Augustine] [URL="https://www.rpnation.com/profile/22499-pretzel-heart/ said:
So...heheh...heheheheh...my timing must be terrible for as soon as my Internet was fixed the site went down for the rest of the evening. So I just kind of flipped one to technology and curled up with a nice book and hot cocoa. But now we're live again, so, without further ado.... -Best Professor Farnsworth voice- Good news everybody! We have a very special announcement in store for you today, so buckle up and get ready for lots of information delivered through obscure musical and television references. Cause we've got magic to do, just for you. And a heck of a lot of reading as well. Due to various people (GMs included) being on break and whatnot, we've taken it rather slow for the past few days. But that is all about to change. As of this moment everyone is once more getting a clean slate on the posting chart, meaning that as of today, April 2nd, the post warning system will go back into effect for all. @MLAQTS is the sole exception since he's asked to use his Get Outta Jail Free Card for the month. This also means @Yandere Aqua has one last chance to save their character from being Archived. And we do hope all is well with you and you are able to find a way to return.  More exciting news, we have finally located ourselves a Prince of Greedo, played by wonderful newcomer @Namie ! Which means that, yes, after all these months of waiting and clawing and bumping threads.......we finally have each and every Representative! Whoot! Go us! Unfortunately...now is the part of our story that gets a little bit sad. On the way to the Promised Land... We lost our very lovely Replacement Princess. Who is.......kind of entirely crucial to the plot. Originally we thought we had someone who agreed to step up and take the role, but now she is unable to do so. Which leaves us with a whopping huge vacancy that kind of needs filling. While Wiznibs and I are on the case, we would be very grateful to any of you who could see it in your hearts to try and reach out to someone you think might be interested in the part. Or suggest someone for us to reach out to. It's kind of tricky, because as much as we want need a Princess, we also want to make sure it will be someone who can post frequently and participate in OOC world building and plotting talks. It would honestly be fantastic to have someone who can stick the landing on this one. And, I mean, who doesn't want to be a princess? With all these delightful princes and princesses? In the meantime, the GMs will be taking control of the role, but that also means she won't exactly be very active (because it's not so exciting, the prospect of just RPing with ourselves, plus leaving flexibility open to whoever takes her over). Since the RP is still (relatively?) young, perhaps this isn't a huge issue, but it's one that will become increasingly apparent and deleterious to the plot as time rolls on. So Mission: Find A Replacement Replacement Princess is now top priority! -Cool superhero posing- With that out of the way, back to the exciting stuff. -Especially exciting if you read the word 'updated' in your best John Cena announcement voice- * The calendar in the 'Overview' section has finally been updated! * The summary for Day 1 on the 'Updates' tab has been updated! (If there is anything I missed or got incorrectly, please notify me and I will fix it. No request is too trivial!) * Three brand spanking new characters (Hayato, August, Buras), have been updated! * Falkor and Holwood's sections in the 'Neutral Characters' tab have been updated! *A typo incorrectly listing the winners in the sample competition on the 'Mechanics' tab has been updated! *Explanation of 'starting ranks' in the 'Mechanics' tab has been updated! *'Last Practice Day' has been added for every eligible character in the 'Mechanics tab! *Though it will not affect any of you (already being in the RP), rules about character applications have been updated! (Basically making it clear that we are not accepting any more Witch-related or "other worlder" characters unless you have damn good plot ideas for them, and stressing reading everything before applying. Reading is very important.) *Characters who are 'Archived' now have a marker in their Character Sheets and have been placed inside a 'Spoiler' for easier scrolling! (Amazingly we've had an excellent retention rate for this RP so far, so thank you once again for all your hard work and dedication) * And for those of you who haven't read it yet, or who already have, my last NPC post has been re-worked a bit, so if you could kindly take a look at that, it has also beeeeeen updated! And that's not all, folks! In the coming days we will be pushing for some major world building. The pressure will fall largely on the "royals" for each country, but everyone is invited to join in. What's this? You hate world building and want nothing to do with it? That's okay, too! The GMs will be more than happy to step in and help out wherever's needed. Though we thought it's much more fun if you have a chance to think about it for yourselves rather than just having us feed you giant globs of text like paper into a shredder, right? Special thanks to @The Succubi Queen for already getting a huge head start with an awesome detailed writeup on the Marine Kingdom. As we work through this exciting process, the countries section on the 'Lore' tab will be completely revamped to include all the amazing stuff you guys come up with. So please look forward to it! More news about that will be coming shortly, but if you want to get started thinking about it, please do so. Cause it's a`comin. Slight preview of things we will be thinking about for hype(!?): -Various "tribes" of Witches with different practices and beliefs and their relationships with each other, the kingdoms, and other species -Religion (what they practice, how it has developed over history, and how it varies between individuals, sects, and country lines) -More detailed history of the development of each of the countries -More information on the age of the Empire and why Roserasia has been relatively peaceful for so long (or ... has it?) -Cross-species pollution and social implications -Customs and practices tailored to each country -Economic information (who is trading what with whom) -Relationships between the countries (and, of course, their respective heirs) -Technological developments alongside magical developments -Education and literacy -Names of locations for each country (their "ruling Castle/Palace/Fortress/whatever" as well as capital and any other significant landmarks or areas) -Names of important people (the current rulers, politicians, artists, anyone we can / wanna come up with!) -Implication of portals and cross-world contamination (why is portal magic so understudied and forbidden?) (Is there a reason why all the months have the same name? Or was Pretzel just being lazy? Or maybe he just wanted to like not confuse people with terms or something....) -The magical 'dark arts;' What are they? Who practices them? And what is the deterrence from studying them? So yup...there's going to be a lot. But hopefully it will be more on the side of 'fun' rather than 'stressful,' right? Right. On that note @FinalStraw , if you could please design a Crest for the Sea Republic, that would be a great start. All of the crests people have come up with so far are listed in the 'Countries of Roserasia' section on the 'Lore' tab so you can kind of get a feel for what we're going for here. Alright, so if you made it this far and read through all the Updates, I'd like you to go ahead and give a 'rating' (like a Hype Cookie or whatever) to the very first IC post. The one that says "Preparations are Underway." Not cause I'm farming for ratings, you can delete it later or whatever I don't care. We're just thinking to give a small test to see who reads these very important Announcements and stuff. But since you're all good, GM-fearing children, you're reading them anyway, and this will be a piece of cake, won't it? Just a few last things here. If anyone noticed, I added songs to both my character's profiles. Why? Because it was required for another RP I'm in so I spent a day going through a million and one old soundtracks and stumbled upon these numbers that I thought fit my characters here pretty well. A few other people incorporated "Theme Songs" into their CS's, so I thought "Why not?" Does anyone else have a song they feel strongly associated with their character? I think it would be kind of fun to see what you all come up with. Sure it's dorky, it's just the right amount of dorky. BB) I'm actually something of a music buff / nerd myself, so adding a "musical" aspect to this RP has long been a goal of mine. Though I'm also crippled by OCD, so spending hours picking out songs for every post would probably not work out very well, lol. Still...don't be surprised if you see a "Press Play" incorporated into an NPC post at some point.......... And finally, for anyone who has read Klaus's profile, you'll note that he's a super friendly guy who loves pen-pals. If there's anyone who has an interest in writing that sort of friendship / relationship between our characters, please hit me up! Actually I've been meaning to push relationships between the Representatives. It makes sense to me that they would at least kind of know each other, being heirs to all their respective kingdoms and whatnot. So I think that would be fun to think about as well. Thanks for reading all that, I know it was a lot! I mean, I was the one who had to type it! Haha...hahaha..... But we really appreciate everyone's dedication to the RP (I know I know, we always say that. But it's never any less true. The fact we've gotten this far is honestly...surprising. Especially when we put up this RP during a time where everything we joined died or was just dead on arrival. It's been a long journey and far from perfect, and you guys deserve so much credit for pushing us through. We hope for only good things to come! Oh, and also, this RP can't die. Literally. Like...you may not know this, but by submitting your CS you actually agreed to an ancient ritual that put us in direct control of your souls. Just saying.
