Basically where we can figure out and decide what this story is going to be. :)

Shay - actually it was only after I hit "post" and reread my stuff that I realized where I had heard Riverbanks before lol. Then I was like, well I'm sure there's lots of Riverbanks around ;)

As for site theme, I totally thought you meant the tone of the story, not the actual colors. So glad Shay posted before I did lol! I like the dark theme as well, I stare at a white screen all day and like the change. :) Everyone get excited! *Thinking of character bios....*

Okay, so I probably won't get around to changing the theme for another couple of weeks. But I went ahead and posted the character sheet, rules, and other stuff. Not that we need rules, but I just put it there in case we publish the board and other people jump on. And every site I ever RPed on was like super, super strict - save for the brief time I was on Allandria lol - so this is the only way I really know how to do it. Let me know if I'm being annoying or a crazy organization freak. Like seriously.

But for the bios, I struggled a little bit. I didn't know how detailed I should get, so I think I may have come up with a happy medium. If you guys want me to add anything or take anything out, change the format, whatever, just let me know! Otherwise go ahead and start planning characters! I'm going to keep working on setting up the rest of the board. It's proven to be difficult as I'm not sure how to organize all the forums and I need to think of places to put in all the town sections. But I'll get there!

Sounds good to me! Thanks! I've got two different characters in my brain already - now I just need to figure out who is going to have which traits and history lol ;)

Cool beans! In the meantime, do one of you want to write up a plot history so I can post it?

I think I'm gonna take a hard pass on writing up the plot history. I feel like the two of you hashed that out more thoroughly and are more familiar with it.

I'm down with the format of the character apps! The only thing I would consider changing at all would be the face claim stuff. Personally, I don't think I ever did that on any of the RP sites I was on back in HS/college. And the once or twice where it was required, I usually just found a random stock photo that fit my description - thought it was weird for a known actor/actress to have my character's face, especially in a modern-type setting (you character's avvie is Johnny Depp and then everyone's all like 'you look like that one guy from that movie...' 'yeah, I get that a lot...'). Again, just not something I'm familiar with doing. I'm fine with it, though, don't get me wrong. But maybe add that it doesn't HAVE to be a known person (could be stock photo, drawing, impressionist painting, origami, etc.). *shrug*

Also... are the Big Names (like the docs and company owners and whatnot) going to be playable characters or NPCs? I know Allandria had a set of characters that made up the plot that folk signed up for. Are we doing something like that? Or just playing those characters as necessary? Or not at all? Handing them over to the NSA?

I personally always liked it because it gave my characters a real person to draw from... kind of like a movie. But fair enough! I'll amend it to make it optional.

And I kind of see them as playable characters. If none of us or anyone else who joins want them, then they can just be NPCs.
