I was even hesitant to put him as close as I did to other characters.

It's another thing I need to improve on as a player. I still get apprehensive whenever I send my character over by someone else's. It's more like a bad habit at this point, but I used to doubt myself a lot more back in older-PL, and it's carried over as a habit in RP I do now.

Never too late to try a new approach. it's Gio's turn, but shouldn't stop Drova from mingling if you choose to

Hello. After numerous attempts and such to make it possible and work, it seems that this little dude is going to join the single market again for a while. Oh what fun.
But enough of that, sorry for my lack of anything due to the whole personal things, but I think that I'm back to do things. So besides revamping my app for Henry, am I needed for something? Or is it possible to have him parked for a bit so that I can ease myself back in?

*offers tea*

I left Cuisine and MB open for anyone to interact with before the meeting tomorrow.

*takes tea and sips it*

Thank you. And ow, burned my tongue.
And I'll be content (I hope that didn't sound bad I didn't mean it like that.) on interacting with them. Where are they if I may ask?

Tilt might not be on today, so I'll be covering the bar temporarily to interaction forward.

Let me try to get a post in. Not in the best of bestest today, so there's that. <- beware my level of senselessness.

The trope page is pretty decent last time I checked on it. PL's trope page, THAT'S what needs work. I add what I can, but other people are going to spot their characters' tropes better than me.

We have so much we can add to it now. *nods*

And Min posted, so the IC came up in the sidebar. Bonus... I don't have to go looking for it now.

The paper cutouts left with Demens, right?

Yup, Demens took the cutouts to their new home in the library.

Do we keep the old stuff? I think most of the cast has changed since the last time our trope page got a facelift.

I've been debating whether or not info about people and characters who have not been here for a while should be deleted. I mean, it's not necessary, there's no shortage of room, but it does feel a bit cluttery. Regardless though, if you have a trope, please add it on. Also don't be afraid to add wacky joke-theories to the WMG section.

*wipes tear* That was a fun read. I'd forgotten so much of that stuff! Please, let's not remove the old people/character tropes. It's a good way to remember (and pay tribute to) them.

That's a good point.

Keep the old, maybe organize the page into newer PL and Older PL tropes?

[Chedastan]

I should be able to get to plosting tonight, I've been trying to think of how to insert Paper Romy and or Nivea into the current scene.

Paper Romy is gonzo. He left with Demens

Oh shoot, I forgot that.

But that means Paper Romy didn't have the time to confess his deepest feelings to Nila when it was a special occasion! Ah plot movement before characters have time to develop! >_<

Oh well, I guess he'll have another chance because he's moved to the library now.

A PL page and a PL:Epic page?

"Why are you going to the library, Nila?"

"No reason. Um, just returning this book."

"Are you sure it's not because Paper Romy's there now?"

"Um..." *teehee giggle fit*

[Holy Lykos]

PL and PL:epic would work. We could make it on the same page and just have two sections? Or two pages that are linked together, potentially.

[Chedastan]

"Why are you going to the library, Nila?"

"No reason. Um, just returning this book."

"Are you sure it's not because Paper Romy's there now?"

"Um..." *teehee giggle fit*

I only wonder if the real Romy will ever catch on. He probably won't though, maybe not for awhile.

"So uh, Nila, I see you've been hanging out with Paper Romy for quite awhile? Tell me again how you two gotten hold of a composite flesh-paper child again?"

"Um.. It was the Composite Flesh-Paper Stork of course! That kindly gifted him to us!"

"My my, his eyes look just like m-"

"UH OH! Looks like someone is going to be late for school!"

"But there isn't a school arou-"

"He needs to eat his drugs and don't do vegetables right now!"

MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS
If it's not on this list, your character doesn't have it. Magical items are rare and hard to come by. Please list what they can/can't do - treat them like a supernatural thing. Items not allowed: anything that can alter time; anything that allows a character to teleport beyond a few feet.

List:

• Elder Thing Crystals: A large sack of bead sized crystals that can absorb a human's worth of spiritual and psychic residue. They act as batteries for magical or electronic devices allowing spells and machines to be powered off excess soul remnants.
  
• The DEiMOS: This device is a living thought that Luxans have created to allow them to travel between dimensions. It acts as the Luxans apartment and contains their rooms, libraries, labs and other quarters. Some of it’s features were broken or destroyed by the shift to Galli*.
  *The exact working features can be changed using this excuse to suit the plot or OP needs. Not sure if teleporting is allowed or if previous actions make it acceptable.
• Labs: The DEiMOS is filled with magical laboratories and devices which the Baron has bought and acquired during his travels. These labs allow him to commit acts of impressive transmogrification and alchemy. They also provide him with the perfect tools to research new and exotic universes that the DEiMOS travels too.
• Libraries: A mixture of digital and physical knowledge the Luxan libraries exist within the DEiMOS and contain thousands of arcane scrolls and books. These books have large amounts of knowledge on numerous magical and scientific topics. They greatly aid in spell casting, research, scientific designing and problem solving.
• Electric Gun: A weapon from distant Yuggoth this irregular lump of metal and wires fires large bolts of electricity. It is almost entirely technological with some minor trace amounts of magic. It requires fungus, mold or mycological masses as fuel. The blasts are incredibly strong generating heat in excess of a lightning strike, may cause muscle spasms in humans susceptible to them. The weapon has a range of 100 meters, after that the single bolt breaks into smaller less damaging bolts for 50 meters.

EQUIPMENT
This is what your character has on their person at the very moment when they are pulled from their home dimension. Laptop? Firearm? Cigarettes and matches? Don't abuse this. They won't be clutching an entire bunker.

List: .38 Automatic + Ammo, Clothing, Luxan SmartRings (act as a smart phone, pictures, internet, calling, etc..), $134.32 in Luxan Currency, A silver cane with a short copper knife in the handle.

Education or Training: ROTC Military training, PhD in Metaphysical Physics, PhD in Trans-dimensional Reality, PhD in Celestial Chemistry

Character Background/Biography: Primordial is a typical Luxan who comes from a world where witchcraft and sorcery go hand in hand with science and engineering. A world with deviant morals that raises children to believe in an uncaring world and deal with their mental problems through torture. It’s people so nulled to basic joy’s and passions that their sensory organs randomly interpret pain and please, while they commit acts of random surgery to achieve perfect aesthetic standards. It’s a world that worships the fundamental underlying universal forces as gods and monster known as Great Old Ones and Outer Gods.

Primordial grew up as the son of middle class family and watched and his family grew in prestige becoming Barons in their own right. His father served as an important businessman and leader of his hometown, and it was his prevention of a financial crisis that earned his family it’s title. Primordial always looked up to his father and strove to be like him hoping to make sure that their family title wouldn't be tarnished or left as a mere prefix.

He attended both Lavi University and Miskatonic University in order to gain a number of degrees which helped him become an inner circle scientist at RADICAL. The Research And Development In Cosmic Assets Laboratory is a Luxan Defense program designed to create military weapons and public tools. He worked very closely on the DEiMOS project along with several other scientists and was awarded the title of Baron for being on the team to successful create the first DEiMOS on purpose. Following this award he was given a scholary grant by the Silver Twilight Lodge to research other dimensions. The Silver Twilight Lodge represents a unique religious club of Luxa’s most privileged elite and Primordial knew that that reward for his exploration would be membership with them and cementing his families title.

Hiring his good friends Insidious, a famous artist, and Aegis, a lauded soldier, he set out to explore the fringes of the universe. Up until this point Luxa had only been able to maintain real contact with other universes were another version of Luxa existed or where the Great Old Ones held control. With the DEiMOS they can break into other universes. Primordial and his team spent ten years travelling to different universes, finding their wisest planets and libraries then ransacking them of knowledge to send back to the homeland.

With just five years left on his mission the Baron arrived on a planet he called “Dabfia’s World”. There he met with the other members of the Apartment Block. At first he tried to raid and pillage the world knowledge as best he could, but he quickly found him embroiled in the schemes of the residents. He made fast friends with a group of sentient raptors, recorded the exploits of an entire pantheon of gods and fight off drone invasions. Eventually the Baron forgot the reason he was here in the first place.

Then the Yellow Event happened and Primordial was killed in the cross fire of a minor god war as the Unspeakable Ones boundary collided with Dabfia’s world for a single moment at a single location. While Primordial’s body was dead, his long time in the DEiMOS had left an imprint of his consciousness their were he slowly reconstructed a body. The process severely damaged the DEiMOS and trapped Insidious and Aegis inside as well. Only the actions of the people they had come to rob, subjugate and attack freed them. It was then that the Baron had revelation and resolved to work with the other residents rather than in spite of them. However no long after he had resolved to acquire his knowledge through more peaceful means was he spirited away to GALLIMAUFRY where he needs to find a way to fix his DEiMOS, help his friends, and find some enemies he can horribly maim like the good old days.

Please direct questions to the OP or the CoOPs. Thanks for applying. Bear in mind that it can take several days for applications to be approved; check back often.

Added the two powers he's probably going to learn at level 0.
Reworded some powers to fit the new style.
Broke up the DEiMOS into sections as Magical Artifacts.
Altered backstory to be more complete and fit better with the story.

I imagine the artifacts will need some adjusting but just let me know.

[Giovenith]

I don't think a separate PL: Epic trope page is a good idea, plenty of the other trope pages do just fine containing years and seasons worth of information.
