Accepted.

Alrighty then. Hope it's cool if I don't use the class and land tests for this, they're kind of a pain to navigate for me.

• Name: Zane Hobson
• Homestuck-style short intro: Your name is ZANE and you honestly have no idea what you're doing right now. You have a variety of INTERESTS, which your sparsely decorated room fails to indicate to observers. Chief among these interests is your predilection for GETTING MAD AT THINGS ON THE INTERNET as a means of entertainment, which can be difficult since you DON'T HAVE YOUR OWN COMPUTER. You also have a passion for INDEPENDENT COMIC BOOKS AND VIDEO GAMES, though you partake in the more MAINSTREAM fare now and again. Not that you'd admit it, except for a few OUTSTANDING WORKS. You have a reputation, god dammit. While not necessarily interests, you also have a habit of NAVEL-GAZING and QUIET INTROSPECTION, a habit that you wish others would adopt more often. You consider yourself something of a WRITER, though you're NOT TERRIBLY GOOD AT IT and try not to pester people with whatever INANE IDEA you've conjured up. You also have something of a interest in MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE, though that tends to take a backseat to your other engagements and honestly you're kind of ashamed of it. In general, you prefer to STAY OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS, provided they stay out of yours. You tend to hang around INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS, either insulting people for their tastes in BASICALLY EVERYTHING, or RAGING AT IDIOTS. Neither of these things has made you especially popular, but you HONESTLY DON'T GIVE A SHIT. You also have your own TUMBLR, though you rarely use it, and it's more often than not filled with SCATHING CRITIQUES of other people's art or clothing, along with a collection of OBNOXIOUS ANIMATED GIFS and LENGTHY ESSAYS ABOUT THINGS NOBODY BUT YOU CARES ABOUT.
  • You live in a SMALL SUBURBAN HOME near a MAJOR CITY with your FATHER, a man whose attentions you've dreaded since you were young. He's something of a STAR in the world of cuisine, and your home is often rife with the scent of EXOTIC HERBS AND SPICES. He tends to SLEEP LATE, since his job, whatever it is, often entails LONG HOURS, though when he does wake up you're usually greeted with one of his signature BEAR HUGS. He also has something of a CRUDE SENSE OF HUMOR, and will sometimes play RIDICULOUS AND EASILY AVOIDED PRANKS ON YOU.
• Guardian: Zane is currently under the supervision of his Father, a middle-aged balding man with a pronounced beer gut and goatee. He works downtown as a chef or a bartender or something, Joey can't quite get the details straight, and constantly lavishes his son with inordinate amounts of attention, mostly consisting of rib-crushing hugs and other violations of personal space.
• Place of residence: The suburbs of Portland, Oregon
• Chumhandle: atomicTotalitarian
• Strife specibus: Keyboardkind. Not much of a weapon, but it's all you've got.
• Fetch modus: Rubik's Cube. Each item is stored on one side of the cube, which must be solved to retrieve the item. While it usually prevents some unfortunate Sylladex mishaps, it also limits the storage space to a maximum of six captchalogued objects. Plus, Zane's crap at puzzles.
• Title: Mage of Rage
• Land: The Land of Bogs and Cathedrals (LOBAC)

What about my profile? It good?

Hmm. A lot of this is good, but is there any way you can spice up the profile?

I made a suggestion of what you need to work on. Like, say, perhaps your bro isn't just annoying and hogs the internet, maybe he's a professional Starcraft player and is a pop sensation in Korea because of it. I don't know. Let your imagination run wild!

What do you mean by that?

Maybe he knows of what's happening, and is trying to survive himself by taking my place.

Hm. How do I explain this? The profile says you aren't too fond of the mainstream stuff, right? Play up your hipsterdom, perhaps. Exaggerate.

Will do. Edits ahoy!

Let's see, Steve. Maybe your brother is your identical twin? Maybe there's shenanigans going on with that? I don't know. There has to be more than go on the internet, play games to both of the characters.

Okay...

Maybe Kane's Bro is also a diagnosed sociopath, and really doesn't give two shits about Kane's survival, as long as he lives longer.

Kane of course, finds this extension of sibling turf war to be patently stupid, and must attempt to beat some sense into him.

I don't know if that would work. It seems weird that Kane would survive so long, then, considering that he was an ectobaby. Nobody would notice if you killed an ectobaby.

• Name: Rick Watson
• Homestuck-style short intro:
  Your name is RICK. You really only have ONE INTEREST, which is READING SHIT. You have an especial appreciation for MAD SCIENCE and NECROTURGY, which you never refer to as NECROMANCY, because you ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THE -MANCY SUFFIX MEANS. You are the proud owner of an SMALL HAT COLLECTION.

• Your CANINE GUARDIAN has been LICKING THE SAME BIT OF CARPET for half an hour. It is a MINOR MIRACLE his care has left you alive and halfway sane. You are nevertheless VERY FOND of him, and extend that fondness to VERTEBRATES and INVERTEBRATES alike. PEOPLE, you're mostly indifferent to.

• Place of residence: House in a California forest
• Chumhandle: teslasCorpse
• Strife specibus: Bonekind
• Fetch modus: Wiki. When you try to retrieve something, it goes to a description of what was most recently put in. From there you Wiki Walk to whatever you wanted.
• Title: Monk of Time
• Land: Land of Roads and Watches

Veeeery interesting. Can you explain how bonekind works, though?

Okay, edits made. How's that?

It was that Kane learnt more "Avoid the psycho." than "Actual intelligence."

It would provide an explanation for his baton skill, which is good for an average person, and the general idea that he isn't all up there himself, more due to paranoia than anything.

Or, instead of Bro being a psychopath, he's just a major dick who doesn't realise when shit gets serious. Maybe have him make constant game references.

Man, now I'm considering moving Sis's quirks to Matt. XD Dave was kind of a younger, less intense version of Bro at first, wasn't he?

Hm. I can see how that extends from his personality, but I kind of meant add more color to the actual interests? The way it's described itself should help with his personality (like Rose is verbose, Jade is excited, Dave tries too hard, etc.)

Well, despite all of their bizarre quirks and their tendency to annoy the fuck out of their charges, all of the guardians were pretty competent, were they not?

Hmm...

Starting to think that I haven't planned this good enough, and maybe this is a sign I shouldn't do forum R Ps since I've never been that good at creating characters...

Okay, I'm pulling out. Anyone can use the Kane character if they want.

x6: Grab dog bone. Upgrade it with alchemiter. Whack things with it.

Actually, that would probably be covered under Clubkind. I'll go change that now.

Well my understanding is that strife specibi are flexible. Would you prefer his dominant mode of attack to be hitting things (clubkind), or do you want to be able to get creative with weaponizing skeletons (bonekind)?

Aww, Steve, there's time for you to develop it. The game hasn't started yet. Still working on mine, in fact.

How's this? EDIT: Sure! I changed my land slightly, too.

• Name: Dana Burke
• Intro:
  • Your name is DANA and you are 15 years old. A BUNCH OF JUNK clutters your room. You have a variety of INTERESTS. You have a passion for CARTOONS. ALL CARTOONS. You’d like to say your taste in cartoons is VARIED, but, really, it’s just COMPLETELY HAPHAZARD. You like to dabble in fanfiction, especially those of a DRAMATIC AND LENGTHY NATURE, but you are NOT VERY GOOD. In fact, you’ve yet to finish a SINGLE ONE. Not that it stops you. You have a fondness for MAKING FANVIDS and are an inspiring MOVIE EDITOR. You also like to DRAW COMICS, sometimes.
  • You live in a high rise apartment in the middle of a large city with your MOM, who loves PARTIES LIKE NO ONE ELSE. She throws LAVISH EVENTS for any reason. In fact, her job may even be EVENT PLANNING, but you honestly aren’t quite sure, since she never seems to go. Your mom goes back and forth between smothering you with attention and barely noticing you.

I'm just not good at RP's.

And I'd most likely ruin it.

Alright, not quite sure what you meant since I don't know how interpret, but I gave it my best shot. Couldn't really think of much to expand on there.

Thoughts?

I really like this, but is there any way you can change your title?

Like, I don't know. You run a blog extolling the virtues of the non-mainstream, and the only ones who ever visit it are the other people from the session to snark at you. Your reviews also tend to have limited use because they're mostly just Gushing About Things You Like. Your extent of love to the obscure extends to food, clothing, and a wide variety of other things, which leaves most of your possessions as an impractical mish-mash.

I don't know. That's an example.

Also, I will be kind of busy this weekend, and I don't want to approve anything more until I talk to Boxcar. Keep posting, though, all right?
