I'd have to say Tehpillow is the leader here, and I don't like saying I'm in power.

Let's just start organizing before to much things.

Okay, looks like I'm #1 here.

Tropestuck is a MSPA-styled Fan Adventure about six teenagers who play sburb. These six teenagers, two of which have been identified and thus introduced so far are Anna Carlone and Arthur Mc Abbey*

who both use the chumhandles celestialComfort and maddeningCatastrope*. Two other players have been mentioned but yet to be introduced, aspiringTorches [AT]* and the mysterious AA, who is female.*

These teenagers represent aspects of TV Tropes and perhaps even internet forums in general. Anna Carlone is a forum moderator, and most likely Arthur Mc Abbey is a forum troll.

One of the girls (Not AA) is a 'cat girl', like Nepeta. All the girls DO have appearances, which I shall draw when I have the time. (Most likely during the weekend.)

Also note that these teenagers use the letters CAT in their chumhandles (Except Arthur.)

Double letters are for girls? But what about Dirk?

Also, Arthur breaks with convention because he's a troll. Clearly.

<Bullshit Mode>Yes! Yes I intended that all along!</Bullshit Mode>

Also, because I'm not the most reliable person, If someone else wants the spot, as in the character slot, then let them have it, I don't want to take up room if someone more deserving then me wants the slot.

I now have time and am going to work on my character. Hopefully this is good enough. He's basically youTube video creator (the bad but popular stuff) with a touch of writing.

Your name is Orin Maddox, and this day is utterly unimportant to you, just as all other days are. You don't much like interacting with other people face-to-face, so you take larger interest in other things; you like to read, and write, going with supernatural horror and dark fantasy in both cases, but you are utterly terrible at writing. Some people trouble you for it, but you just stay out of their way when you can and take it when you can't. You also spend a lot of time on the internet, a source of good things to read and places to offload your writing on the poor souls who will read everything. It also offers escape and distraction from life, which you more than welcome, and which gives you the confidence to talk to others.

You also enjoy multiplayer gaming, as it is the closest you get to having social skills, and make internet videos about some popular games, along with the occasional blog. It's blatant bandwagoning and your videos are terrible, especially when you include a facecam, but you have enough viewers to earn money from ads. And to be honest, you need the money. People will pester you about it sometimes, but you don't mind and just pander to anyone who is willing to be nice to you, even if it is in a creepy stalker way.

You live in an absurdly decrepit apartment in the inner city, a wretched hive of scum and debauchery, with your brother, who you very rarely see due to how much he works to keep the two of you alive. It's an unfortunate situation but it's what you have.

Your handle is cthulhusTenebrae, which is an utterly terrible handle, but you don't care. YOU REALLY LOVE TO CONSTANTLY SHOUT TO THE LOVELY AWESOME PEOPLE WHO ARE LISTENING TO YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE SO AWESOME but it, ugh, gets a little much sometimes and then you just cant be bothered

I made a character in the sign-up thread, but I suppose I'll repost it here.

Your name is JUAN VAZQUEZ. As was previously mentioned, it is no important day in particular for you. You have a passion for LUDICROUSLY EXPENSIVE UNPAINTED MINIATURES. Although you enjoy assembling them, you are a SHITTY PAINTER and have to spend additional expenses on a HIRED EXPERT. This is no problem for you because you are an ABSURDLY RICH ORPHAN and have no problem tossing around your wealth like you own a small country. To match this interest in miniatures, you primarily read and watch SHALLOW SCIENCE FICTION that many others would call SPACE OPERA. You have collected many AUTHENTIC PROPS from these fictions, but show an interest in the FACELESS VILLEINS over the goodie-two-shoes heroes. As for sports, you have practiced long nights at TABLE TENNIS and FOOSBALL, probably to hide your Aunt's CRIPPLING DISAPPOINTMENT that you don't play any actual sports. But she still loves you. You hope. You have tons of FRIENDLY ACQUAINTANCES that you meet in your hobbies, but you don't know any of them well enough to be friends. Besides, they're probably just talking to you because you have a lot of money.

It's hard being born rich and getting everything you want. It's hard and nobody understands.

Your chat handle is AthleticCommando, which you hope convinces people that you are actually athletic. However, you undermine any illusions about you because you speak in a manner that is somewhat timid, with lots of needless politeness and apologies (i'm sorry).

I can change my character to a girl if necessary.

How are pesterlogs going to be conducted?

I have plans for the last 2 girl spots, but they aren't concrete, just the appearances and one chumhandle. Besides that, go nuts.

The Cat Girl's chumhandle is terrificTabbies, btw. Don't know about AA.

[up][up] I guess, but I'm more of a person who takes things relatively seriously.

Pesterlogs are going to be Pastebins, linked here, like I did in Anna's introduction post.

All right, let's try this.

I'll take whatever chumhandles or whatever you have left.

You name is NINA EMMONS and you are a member of a COLORGUARD. You live with your SIS in an apartment, and as your SIS used to be a CHEERLEADER, you often find yourself in STRIFES with her over which is better, which you inevitably LOSE.

You have a WIDE VARIETY of INTERESTS, such as RUSSIAN LITERATURE and WEREWOLVES. You consider yourself to be well-read even though you aren't really. When not reading, twilring, or making the rewrite Crime and Punishment and Lycanthropes, you can often be found either ARGUING with people who are WRONG on the INTERNET or writing INTENTIONALLY AWFUL CREEPYPASTAS. You have no hope for actually making a decent one, so you figure, why try?

One day, you intend to actually start a serious project, an alternate reality game based on the CREEPY THING that your SIS brought home from the lab one day and stuffed into the LINEN CLOSET. Neither of you have used that closet since. You would totally get started on that and be on your way to INTERNET FAME and NOT FORTUNE. The reason why you haven't gotten started on that is totally not because you are a SISSY WHINY BABY and are LEGITIMATELY TERRIFIED of the THING. You just haven't had time. Yeah, that's right. No time.

Fetch Modus: Wiki Walk (one has to wiki-walk from the first item in the fetch modus to anything else to get it to eject. Because of this, if one is seriously pressed for time, one can eject everything down to the item wanted like stack modus.)

Strife Specibus: Flagkind

Location: Midwest

Wait, if I'm playing the cat girl, why are you choosing all these things for me? That seems... not fair, somehow. Has this somehow been assigned to someone else while I wasn't paying attention?

Something I haven't said about Anna: She lives in New Zealand, alone. Her fetch modus is Wallet, and she has three strife specibi: hammerkind, Riflekind, and Fistkind

[up]But...but...terrificTabbies is a great chumhandle!

The point isn't how good or bad the chumhandle is, the point is that she didn't get to choose.

I'm guessing Banhammerkind is the joke one? Also strife specibi can only be 8 letters plus -kind long.
