    I don't mean to be rude, but do you know how few people are going to join a roleplay that has no plot whatsoever? You're going to end up attracting the worst role players out there.

    I'm not trying to be mean, actually I want to help you. However, constructive criticism comes with that.

    If you all feel so strongly about it and this app is ultimately denied... then I will no longer try. If you all feel so dead-set against denying this character, then I will not try to push this app. However, I want to hear Matt's say in this first. If he denies it once and for all, then you won't have to worry about me making this app. Not sure what I'll do if he actually accepts, but considering the moderator's outcries, I find that unlikely. But why? You allow slimes. You allow talking, moving skeletons. You allow sentient books. As actual characters, no less.

    But why not my one attempt at a remotely unique character? I mean... it's unfair, you know? I put my all into this character. I spent AT LEAST a couple weeks thinking about how to make this character, and how to make him good. I gave him a story. I gave him a personality. I gave him... a soul.

    Because you see... to me, a roleplay character isn't just... a character to me. To me, they symbolize a passion. An achievement. A love. The fact that I was the creator of something special is profoundly amazing. The fact that I was a part of something amazing is indescribable. I feel like I couldn't fail if I tried.

    But then I guess I have to face reality, and the soul I worked so hard to chisel into my own work... the hope that I was the creator of something original... is crushed. And it hurts more than you could imagine.

    I'm a writer. I roleplay for a reason - because I love it. Because it gives me opportunities. It gives me a chance to be a part of something. And when the soul I worked so hard on is eliminated, it feels as if I lost a part of myself.

    So you can deny my application. You can crush the heart and soul of a being I breathed life into, and have all that effort go to waste. Go right ahead. It's only four simple letters - D, E, N, and Y. But I cared about Jet. I care about Deemas, and Sky, and Kayne, and Achilles, and Luke, as if they were my own.

    I remember Chloe. I remember Benson and Jill too - throwaway characters. I made them simply because I thought it was a cool idea - and I never bothered to give them an actual soul. But... I actually care about the characters I bothered to give a soul to. And Jet is one of them.

    So remember that even roleplay characters have a soul before simply sending them to their deaths - in one way or another.

    Haha of course alcohol is allowed.
    I can't think of anything that wouldn't be allowed. You guys can probably think of something, but I can't.

    I'm still writing by the way, but I keep getting pulled away to cook dinner >.>


    I would say 'sex demons', but I just now remembered that one of Ryik's characters is practically possessed by them, so scratch that off the list of potential no-nos.

    As the shadowy dimension began to fell apart, Xavier and I began to make our way out just in time, and we wound up back in Allure Town. We did it... we finally did it.

    [Xavier]

    As we finally made it out of the shadowy dimension, I almost felt like rejoicing. But I couldn't after having lost such a faithful ally and friend... I'm so sorry, Desia.

    [Epilogue]

    [Xavier]

    After thinking for a very long time, I decided it was best to stay here in Allure Town to help protect it from future disasters. I stayed in Team Wildvines, but at that point, I had another priority - a family.

    Somewhere between then and now, I met a woman who I knew would be the one. An Illumise by the name of Julia, and she loved acting. We started dating after we met each other at a play, and eventually it got to that true love state - the point at which both people realize that they've fallen in true love. The point at which they both realize that the other is the one for them. And eventually... I gave her the ring. And she accepted.

    We planned the wedding, we said our vows... and we became husband and wife. A couple years later, we had children - an Illumise and a Scyther. My daughter was named Hailey, and my son was named Gideon. You can guess who I named him after.

    They haven't gotten to the point where they could join their own adventure team, but they're almost there. Fortunately, only one of them seems to be interested in joining an adventure team - Gideon is more interested in acting. I wonder who he gets that from *hint hint wink wink nudge nudge*. However, Hailey is more interested in joining Team Wildvines. I know who she gets that from.

    Life overall settled down quite a bit, but I'm still a member of Team Wildvines. But every once in a while, I visit the grave of our fallen ally and friend, Desia... We were all hit hard by her passing, but Vine was hit hardest. But he was strong. And so were we.

    ---

    [Gideon]

    This world was intriguing, but I couldn't stay. There was so much to explore. I said goodbye to Team Wildvines, Allure Town, and Xavier, and left the town on my own. I wandered the world in search of the answers to the world's mysteries. I eventually popped into Allure Town to say hello if I was in the neighborhood, but eventually I got my fill of this world's mysteries, and set out to different worlds to solve their mysteries.

    I wandered countless dimensions as a drifter and an explorer. I went back and forth through dimensions to solve the mysteries of each one of them. I was satisfied with how I spent my life, and eventually I settled back down in Allure Town, where I spent the rest of my life.

    Believe me, Ethan, I know EXACTLY what you're feeling.

    My parents are divorced, and that tore me apart. For a couple of years I lived without any hope in sight, only driven by the fact that I had a family. I got into stuff I never should have gotten into, and I lost pretty much all emotion. Everything faded to black and white, and the screaming voices in my head constantly told me that I wasn't good enough and that I should just kill myself.

    But after all of this, I finally found one true hope in my life - God.

    I'm not trying to sound like a typical christian. I never want to be that. I want you to know that there is ALWAYS somebody ready to catch you when you need to be caught the most. He can always be trusted, and he will never leave you despite what you may be feeling.

    Religion aside...

    I've always been able to find some sort of pastime in my darkest hours that helps to take my mind off of what's hurting me the most. Art, music, games, singing - all of those help to take my mind off of what's hurting me.

    Ditto.
    I should probably stop posting here considering how few and far-between my IC posts are.

    You would like that Caleb, wouldn't you?


    I don't know. On one hand, you are creepier than anybody I've ever seen. On the other hand, you do it so well that losing you would be like losing a valuable resource.

    Alright good. Just making sure. You know, shes similar to Jake. They are the same age, both expert marksman, both had ETG training and an ETG past.


    Be assured that this was unintentional. However, I intend to have her join the main group.

    Quote from _Maximus_

    'Hey, you know instead of using finely trained marksman, why don't we just use this little girl who can see well?'
    'Sounds good.'
    'Yep.'
    'Just gonna use a child to shoot things.'
    'Implant preposterous ideas into her head that she won't believe, too.'
    'Instead of using a loyal adult marksman.'
    'And not watch her closely so she could escape.'
    'Sounds like an absolutely flawless plan.'


    Lol. This post deserves another rep point.
