I'll be back there in a sec!

[Monfrox]

I have never seen the chat so empty.

@Agy. Will have an Opa reply tomorrow.

Colleague and former NSer unexpectedly arrived this morning. He kept it a surprise, and was he surprised to find the spare room already taken! Was hoping to introduce you all to him. Maybe tomorrow.

It's been a long day.

Would love to meet him!

Tonight's my only night off other than Christmas eve and Christmas day. Gonna go watch Rogue One with my mom who is responsible for my Jedi training at a very young age.

Then it's back to work. It's been a rough end of the year.

[Torsiedelle]

Jedi training? Oh, Mon, you misguided soul.

The Dark Side of The Force has so much to offer.

[Ganonsyoni]

Sorry for all the delaying. I've been in a funk and drama has been keeping me distracted. I plan on posting tonight and get thing moving. Again, I'm sorry for stalling so long.

[Giovenith]

If I ever play a family of characters, I plan to have this exchange:

"Just go up there and have an open, honest, father-to-son chat."
"Darth Vader had an open, honest, father-to-son chat, and his kid threw himself into an abyss."
"Okay, if there's one thing Star Wars taught us, it is that force users are shit with kids. They all wind up either dead, evil, or orphaned on a desert planet. But you are not a force user."
"*holds out hand, speaks hypnotically* Or am I...?"
"*slap*"
"Ow!"
"Now."
"Oh fine, I'm going, I'm going..."

[Monfrox]

I had the Jedi mind trick down at four. Unfortunately, that wasn't meaning much since I didn't know enough about anything to have it really be effective.

[Ganonsyoni]

plosted. Imma go to bed nao. It was quite a draining day today.

[Monfrox]

Saw the movie, made the post, now to go get something to eat before I die.

Take care of yourself. People often forget that you can get physically sick from stress, especially during winter when sickness is already flying. Eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep, take just a few seconds to talk to your family and unload whatever is on your mind - just venting is often the best medicine for your situation.

I've tried but my mom and dad are continuing to push me towards other options when I keep telling them to let me do it on my own. I love them, and I'm glad for their support, but I'm getting to that age where I need to start doing stuff. Not have my parents shove me into it. I'm trying to talk with them over it but it's not getting through as much as I'd like.

Any of us PL peeps are all ears too.

Hey, Guys...

I'll still be posting, or I can try to. Have to be stingy, thanks to not having wifi and now dealing with some stupid phone bills - a certain dumb family member on our plan ran it up, so now we're in a really tight spot.

Anyways...would anyone like to work something out, and maybe shoot texts or something? Just asking because I won't be able to use E-Mails or an IRC client if I want to save data to post on NS, and I really appreciate just being able to chat. My day is dull otherwise. I can't count on family to talk to, or anyone else, so it's just me and my dogs.

And I just get really lonely when I spend the entire day without talking to someone . I'm not in a good mood, I feel like crap, and I just can't talk to any family members.

I'm feeling really down tonight.

It's like being on a remote island, alone, without any tech. I'd offer my number but that reveals not only my name but my place of employment. Taboo for me.

Can anyone lend a hand?

We can place Torii in the middle somewhere. There are plenty of people with her to fill in gaps and we need to pick up the pace to be done by the Christmas feast. I don't believe Tilt will mind if you post slowly or offer short posts to ease data usage. Tilt, you okay with it?

[Torsiedelle]

I'll still post regularly, and try to post as fast as possible. It's just that I'm cut off from chatting or anything like that, and that kills me. I'm usually alone and active later in the day, so...I usually don't have anyone else to talk to.

It suuuucks. The only others things I have to do are play a game or watch TV, or just...sit there, considering my schedule...that's why I'm always hanging around. I chat more here than I do IRL now because I'm always up when other people are busy or asleep.

Take your time with the app, there's no rush. The goal is to make your character as rounded as possible with plenty of room for growth and development. It may sound daunting, but that's why we're here (not just the GM and Co-Ops, but the PL crew) to assist if ya need it -nodnods-

Character Occupation:Librarian


OBJECTIVES
Primary Objectives are your character's main goals. This should be the thing that drives their part of the plot. When not engaged in stories, these are what occupy your character's thoughts or keep them busy. Examples include: acting on a desire to become a powerful and respected leader; attempting to overcome some horrible thing in the past which hinders the character on a day-to-day basis; seeking to break out their shell by overcoming profound shyness (getting involved with stories); comping to terms with a major flaw that inhibits the character from reaching full potential; etc.

Secondary Objectives are minor goals. These should be an undercurrent for your character when they are engaged in stories or on their free time. Examples include: acquiring weapons and becoming proficient with each one; improving sundered relations with a companion; improving their reading comprehension; mastering news spells; researching a cure for a plague; etc.

Objectives such as "making friends" or "finding love" are NOT acceptable. Please put much though into your character's objectives - they are what flesh out your character and one of the most important aspects necessary to portray the character as 3D.

Primary Objective:He wishes to discover the extent of his powers, even at the cost of others. To achieve this, he will charge headlong into danger thinking that mortal danger will awaken the extents of his abilities.

Secondary Objectives: Explore the world(s). He wishes to map out the worlds he make discover.


MUNDANE SKILLS
These do NOT require points. These are the average, daily things your character can do. Examples are "drive a car", "speak one Foreign Language", "play a guitar", "write poetry". Some mundane skills come from your bio and are freebie. A soldier has gone through Basic training. However, Medic, martial arts or sniper would be a Specialized Skill or Talent.

Sonic Scream, Levitation, Spell Casting, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite thus weaknesses are things which inhibit the ability. Restrictions are what can't they do with their power or what balances it. They can only use it when they genuinely need it? They can't use it for more then five minutes without serious side-effects? Some things are allowed without points. A pegasus has wings thus it can fly. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed here, however.

BACKGROUND
Be detailed please. You must explain how your character aquired their skills, talents, abilities, and special items. Wrap your primary and secondary objectives into it.

Education or Training:He completed Secondary School (High School)

Character Background/Biography:It wasn't odd for Mikael to be found with his face stuffed in a book, in fact he most nearly always had one with him. He started reading back in Primary School, and he was unlike anybody in his family. His parents didn't read much, but they were glad he had something to do. Mikael didn't have too many friends, but those he did he trusted completely. But it was when he started reading, all sorts of books, that he wished to explore the world. Map all the worlds, for he was interested in the maps he found within the books he read. So, after Secondary School he headed to Cartography school, to learn how to make maps. He learned quite alot about maps here, but he couldn't stay for very long. It was during this time that his abilities manifested themselves. When suddenly things began to be made around him, and he began to get headaches and pains, he realized that he was the one making these things. Fearful, he went away from the school, and went in search for answers. In the modern world, not many people would know of his abilities, or how to help him, so he had learned to be discreet. Eventually he found an old tome that actually spoke of magic such as his, and a crystal that could benefit him. By this time, he was 27 now, he had learned how to use his powers, but he doesn't quite know the extent of it. He doesn't know how powerful he could be. So, he dived into his books, forsaking any friends he had in search of his knowledge. He found the crystal he was looking for. It was an ordinary gem to any mundane human, but him, a photokinetic, he felt that it was different. The crystal was in a musuem, and when they opened the display up on the first day, Mikael stole away with it using his abilities. He didn't like that he had done so, but he needed to know the true properties of the crystal. Afterward, he managed to find work at a library, which gives him ample time to read, as nobody seems to come to the library any more. While his curiousity about the world was still there, he wished to figure out the extent of his powers furst and foremost, and he feels like the best way to do that would be to continue learning, to continue using his powers. Out of sight of the regular humans, of course. So, to this day, he continues working at the same library trying to figure out his powers, and he reads many, many, many books.
