MAYONNAISE

Not bad for an alpha but at a bit over 2000 years of age he would be far from being one of the oldest reapers, even Nakazumi's character who is around 6000 wouldn't be since the reapers have existed as long as the first sentient life, which may not even have been in Geos (Earth's realm). Other that he sounds intriguing and I look forward to seeing your finished SU.

I will be submitting the SU as soon as heretostay123 has completed his SU and Orange has posted his SU (unless of course he hasn't posted it by tomorrow when his reservation runs out).

Okay guys since I have removed oranges reservation that gives us everyone ready so I am going to submit the IC.

I will probably repost this in the IC but here is the description for Chapter/Mission 1. If you have any problems with this let me know :)

Sounds good to me!

Arisu huffs, "A search and control mission? What a bore. Hopefully these demonic energies prove to be interesting play things, though."

I'm glad you approve. I chose the groups based on what I thought were good matches for the introduction and interaction of characters. You won't always be working with the same group though, hell missions could have as little as one person.

Which by the way is what will happen to any latecomers who wish to join. They'll get a solo mission whilst this part is concluded.

The IC should be up soon, have fun.

I got the Pikablues.

I wonder if Byrne could swap teams? If we're killing vampires, it'd make sense to bring Mr Fire with us?

It would, but, if you are searching a large desert for an ancient burial ground that not even the grim reapers knew about until recently it is generally good to have the seer who can locate objects with flame in your group. Besides Byrne will have great interaction with Alicia.

If you are truly bothered by his placement I can swap him with someone but where I have him makes sense.

Arisu could use some interesting character interaction...

"Don't try to speak for me, worm," Arisu said hotly, "I would rather die a thousand times than deal with some circus performer..."

She doesn't mean that ;0_0

Pfft we all know she does...

I'm guessing that the IC will be up in the next 2-3 days so if you haven't posted in OOC for a while I'll post a reminder on your profile.

Vampire slaying.

Sounds legit.

And, lol, I have had some fun thinking of paranormal beings to use as Reaper NPCs. The main one being Slenderman, as well as the Rake. Technically speaking, Slenderman is a version of the Grim Reaper, I guess, so that should work nicely. The thought of using them here amuses me. xD

It could be a possibility I guess... what's the Rake?

One of the main things you probably have noticed with this RP is that it makes a lot of use of the "all myths have some truth in them" belief so quite a few things are quite possible.

Edit: I just read that Heretostay will not be able to participate for some time. Due to this he is still to be treated as an accepted player but I will no longer be including him in the first mission. If he comes back before we have finished that part then he can have a solo mission.

Google it.

I dare you.

I hope you don't scare easily if you do. Or get paranoid.

I do.

It's terrifying. d;

I'm not easily scared but the Rake is pretty damn creepy... Might have to find a way to get it into the plot somehow.

Just a reminder for you all to keep looking for the IC thread as it will be popping up any day now most likely and to keep checking here for updates. I don't want this RP to die because people forget about it waiting.

I'm assuming we can either joint-post or just post and have our companions respond.

With that being said, I'd say some light GMing is in order so that things can go along more smoothly (You know, like having one person narrate that the group is moving as compared to having each individual post that their character is moving)

You have a point... If a group is not split up and the first person states they are moving than the rest of the group will need to follow suit so as not to really have to mention it multiple times. I'm okay with joint posting for this RP if you feel it is one hundred percent needed but I would prefer to focus on the individial aspect.

Basically...
Person A: We are moving
Person B and Person C: We are in your group therefore we are also moving.
Person C: I am going to split from your group and check over here
Person A and Person B: Something is happening here
Person C: Something else is happening here

Does that make sense?

Edit: Also can you all be sure to write in the third person.

I'm not a fan of joint-posting since I'd rather my character be the main focus of my post anyways.

Just wanted to be sure :)

Did I tell you or did I tell you? d;

And I'll have my first post up tomorrow. I don't really think I have the time to write one (gotsa sleep soon, lol), plus I'm unsure about being the first one to post, lol. (First from my mission, at least.)

RedWing, Alicia is so . . . dirty. xD

Aaaaand . . . is it necessary for people to write in third person? I mean, that's limiting a person's writing style, as many people prefer first person. I think it's a little unfair, don't you? I, personally, tend to stick with third person, although I used to be a fan of first person.
One thing I don't like is when people write in the present tense, though. *stares at RedWing* >.>;
^It's just an odd quirk I have when it comes to writing, lol. Don't mind it if you don't want to. d:

No worries Redwing. I'm not nit picking but in the future please put a little more detail into your posts although I have to admit, you write your character's speech perfectly exactly as I imagined her xD

@Nakazumi - You aren't the first I have already posted. But don't worry I don't mind waiting till tomorrow to see what you come up with.

@everyone - Don't forget that different parts of the world are in different time-zones so if two missions in different places are both occurring during the day you should assume that they are probably not happening simultaneously.

I write in the present tense because, to me, it gives the reader much more insight as compared to past tense.

Also, the reason the post is so short is because I'm the first one to post x_X Once the others have posted and we are actually moving, the posts will be longer and more detailed.

I had considered a sort-of thought-based monologue, but it didn't feel organic to the scene.

Also, thanks, gimmepie & Nakuzami XD Yeah, Arisu is a bit...violent.

Arisu stares Redwing down, "Excuse me, worm?"

Gulp. N-Nothing!
