[up] Thank you!

...Out of curiosity, do we have a list of accepted characters?

Here in this very thread. Think it's up to date.

Well, relatively up to date. *facefault* You'll have to wait for the poster to come back, I guess.

Yes, I do mean Hannibal. This incarnation will be called Han Varcas.

Well, some things to consider:

  • Imposing: He'll have to be at the older end of the age range. Probably want to keep him at about 16 - 19 (PUBERTY POWER!).
  • Eyepatch: At the start, or acquired along the way (because it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye)? You'll have to handwave that bit - lazy eye is always a convenient excuse.

But I would think that putting those parts in and throwing in some details about skin / face / hair should suffice in terms of physical appearance. Clothing, too, if he's meant to have an iconic outfit. If you're drawing from the original Hannibal for his appearance, though, then you may want to make him more rugged or coarse-featured as befits a war-hardened general.

Patience...

And yes, I'm going to make him look like a younger Hannibal.

Will you please stop that? I feel pressured enough right now as is without that. >.>

It will start when it is good and ready. And when I'm feeling a little less pressured by everything, okay?

The worst that can happen by delaying a bit is that people drop out and, given the character saturation, that would help matters. Not to mention that the unreliableness that implies means it would've happened anyway.

Sorry, it's just in my experience, the longer the delay between capping off signups and starting the RP gets, the likelier something is to crash before it starts. I was just concerned. Sorry if I bothered you, Moe.

I understand what you mean (it kinda happened with Esoterica, after all), and I know you mean well, but don't take this the wrong way but you're not helping. Sorry. I'm trying my best to get a good start written but I'm just hitting a block over and over again. If it really comes down to it, I'll ask Anno and Raineh for help with it (it's what they're supposed to be here for, after all), but I really do like doing these things myself. Still, if it looks like it'll be pointless hitting my head against the wall endlessly I'll talk to them about it. Sorry.

To be fair, it's not just you - all activity in these threads just died for the last three days. (I'm going to assume the other prospective players are just lurking.) Please don't stress yourself out over an RP.

In the meantime: Colonial, Justa... mind putting up your character profiles?

Sorry for the double post but it's been 14 hours.

Anyways, I have written a bit for the twins in the word document with their profiles but their still not complete. And since I'm tired I'll continue tommorrow...hopefully...

You do realise that equine refers to horses? tongue

I do.

Why else would I put such a term there, if I didn't know what it meant?

Remembering incorrectly? I cannot work out what the shape of a sword has to do with the shape of a horse. >.>

...It's the design of the handle, not the sword itself.

He described the hilt as being equine, so I guess it's carved a little.

I like the elepony though.
