Personification Life OOC VII [OPEN -Sign up and Planning]

[New Aksarben]

Merry new year!

Awesome! A wiki would be so useful!

[Torsiedelle]

Finally got the post up! All I need was the PC to copy/paste (shamelessly) the story.

Speaking of, when I was doing the post, I was reminded of the tales of a Suicide Forest at the base of Mount Fuji, Aokigohara. It's kinda creepy, IMO, but it sounds like a neat place to check out, too. The forest itself is beautiful.

Happy New Year!

I'm not sure where she's going with it but at least it's a start. People can eventually create pages for their characters that''ll be linked. Character images need to be royalty free and not copyrighted. Publishing an artist's work without his/her consent rubs me raw. We get away with it in PL because Swith ferrets out the source to give the artist credit.

Yeah, that's pretty much why I hate those dumping ground web sites. You never know who the artist is. It's just someone ripping off a picture and then someone else ripping it off from them and then... well, it travels.

G'night, everyone!

[Torsiedelle]

I only use pictures of other stuff for characters because I can't draw.

If I could, or anyone could do it for me, I would do a drawn picture.

[Tiltjuice]

RAAAAH! Happy New Year!

Holy cow², you sandal-y fennec!

If you could wait an unspecified period of time between a week and a month (accessing IMG codes for Photobucket from my phone is problematic, and as my mom would disapprove I'd rather not risk accessing via the shared computer) or figure out how to find and post the link (uploading is not an issue) I probably could. With such images, I typically hand-draw them and then, after they've been photographed and hence washed out by my phone, I enhance and add detail with a photo editor. Here's a sample of my work, for a previous RP.

If anyone is interested, just let me know.

Note: No Dabfia's were actually harmed in the making of this ghost story.

[Giovenith]

My internet is finally back up.

[Torsiedelle]

Hello.

Donec a Deo is quiet :/
I need to get it running again.

IC hasn't moved much. That's good.

The collab will be checked later.

[Urran]

what a surprise, dad wouldn't let me on the internet last night. I have just enough time for replies before I go to work. I might be on after work depending on what kind of mood he's in.

[Urran]

Also, Bran, did you ever reply to Yoshi?

I feel lost right now, things are happening so fast and I am not around. I guess once life quiets down some I'll be able to catch up.

Not much to catch up with. Everyone's still around the bonfire.

I'm game!

Ah shit, forgot Yoshi again. I'll edit my post to include that.

DEATH woke upon the land. He looked around at the myriad species living an the world. He saw the beauty of the creations, and he saw them beginning to gain some independence from their creators. He was much pleased with what he saw. He looked into the future to see what would happen to these beautiful people and what he saw terrified him. The creators were brilliant in their way, but they had forgotten one thing these creatures ceased to exist only when forced. Left to themselves they simply continued. He saw that some creators tried to rectify this problem, but their systems conflicted. The world would dissolve into anarchy because of rampant overpopulation. Already He saw the problem starting. With a sigh, he created a scythe for his hands. He went up to the eldest of the humans, and he sliced. Her soul, a beautiful object left her body, and DEATH felt pity. He created a beautiful, peaceful land for the dead to live, unless their creators already had done this, and allowed all those who died to enter. DEATH had come to the world.

IMPORTANT:
One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details:

Javert is a detective who is also a Werewolf. He is overwhelmed by a sense of guilt from an event in his past. He has come to this town to open his own office as a private detective. He has some measure of control over the wolf, but not too much. His senses are heighted even while human. He is very law-abiding. he is not that tall, pretty skinny. He expends so much energy keeping control, he often forgets to be polite. Don't take it personally

Nice balance in that post.

Linking is easy. Go to the little box at the top of the post. It's to the right of the author's hyperlink green name. Right click on it, copy link location. Past the link into a post. You can bracket it with the URL code found it the editing options (it's right next to the drop down box for text size). Here's what the code should look like:

Code: Select all

[url]http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=18187739#p18187739[/url]

It becomes this: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=18187739#p18187739

You can insert pictures the same way provided they're small enough to fit. Select Img and drop the link between brackets. It's polite to spoiler pictures (make a box like the one you clicked to read this).

Anything tucked between the URL code becomes a live link. To insert text instead of showing the link, add an equal sign to the first part of the URL code and the description goes between brackets.
To insert text instead of showing the link, do this:

Code: Select all

[url=http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=18187739#p18187739]this is the link to your post[/url]

The result is this: this is the link to your post

Approved.

We've had a change of venue. Everyone's on the island (which would be impossible for your character to find). I can write an introduction to insert you in the scene. It'll take me a moment.

[The Factory of Spike]

Thanks

[Cerillium]

Thanks

I'll write an intro for him. It's actually perfect timing.

[Cerillium]

New character in the mix, all. Give him the same warm greeting as Roco, please.

[Cerillium]

Sorry for the large slap post. We wanted to get those three parts out. Working on the next round.

I love the googiedoc chat feature.

I realized after we'd edited everything that we should have saved the first draft to use as an example. I'll save the next round so we have a before and after to show.

For those who wonder:
We RP out a framework. Then we go back and fluff it. We alter posts and change things so descriptions are through character's eyes. We tweak dialog. The result is a collab between four people that reads like it was written by one.
