What about Discord? It's like Skype but your anonymity is assured.

One time, on mine, someone's character corrected mine about their title and I got so unbelievably offended by this. I was just like, "What the fuck did you say? I will fucking call you whatever I damn well please! EXCUUUUUUSE ME! THAT'S IT! SCREW YOU, SCREW EVERYONE HERE, I'M DONE WITH THIS SHIT! I'M DONE WITH THIS RP! I'M DONE WITH THIS GROUP! I AM OUT!" I didn't type any of that, but I disappeared for two days on them out spite before realizing how dumb it was.
Also, I once got really pissed off over the existence of submarines. I don't remember why.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.

I'm on the fly and moving at warp speed. Tilt, could you copy the old app code into a post here for him? Would greatly appreciate. It will be a bit before I can update it, and before I'll be on to post the old.

[color=#6e317d][size=150]OBJECTIVES[/size][/color]
[b]Primary Objectives[/b] 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.

[color=#64367e] [size=150]MUNDANE SKILLS[/size][/color]
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.
[u]List Mundane skills here[/u]
[color=#593d7f] [size=150]SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS[/size][/color]
These are specialized skills that set you apart from the average person. You have 7 points to spend here. Examples are swordsmanship, sniper, coercion, medic, wizarding, piloting etc.

[color=#504280] [size=150]OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS[/size][/color]
You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities. 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 [u]serious[/u] 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. What isn't allowed: teleportation beyond a few feet; the ability to alter or go back/forward in time.

[color=#4a4781][size=150] MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS[/size][/color]
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.

[color=#4a4781][size=150]EQUIPMENT[/size][/color]
This is what your character has [u]on their person[/u] at the very moment when they are pulled from their home dimension. Don't abuse this. They won't be clutching an entire bunker.

They can be, but any abilities unique to your nation will be diminished as the character will be cut off from their homeland.

Okay, if you all want to do that, I'm cool. Send me the googiedoc link. But if you'd prefer to wrap this up...
Three boar. Two are with Drova now (Bran, feel free to write the running sow into your next post) and one is being ridden by Dora. This one will surely trample Giovenith and Marcus, which lends to good humor and rubber duckies. Please wrap this hunt up in whatever silly manner you'd like... the more outrageous, the better for us all.
Meanwhile, have your characters settle in the clearing. We'll get to them soon, I promise.
Cer will post for all that and the Unicorns when he gets the chance. This has been a bad night for getting anything done in this house. I'm still trying to print the kiddo's art class report for tomorrow.

Giovenith wrote:"Personification Life" is something of an Artifact Title, we really haven't ever had many literal personification characters so we've never really put together any sort of hard canon for them. Even early in the beginning most of the "personifications" were not Hetalia-esque countries in human form but more metaphorical: like Branson "Bran" Nikanor of The BranRiech, who served as the prototypical example of the average oppressed citizen of that nation, Neil "NVE" Von Eldritch of The New Velociraptor Empire, mad scientific raptor from a land of genius raptors, Giovenith from The Empire of Giovenith, a pacifistic country with high funds towards the arts and primary originator of the religion of Pearlelei. Eventually all those characters moved past their former archetypal personalities and became more individualistic.
I could be wrong, but I think NA was the first one to bring in characters who were literal physical personifications. Urran briefly had one too.
@Tilt: There's not much more you need from me that Swith didn't indicate, is there?
