Holy hell it's been a busy too months. So I'm back... Until I disappear again. 

I've got ally characters available for whoever, for Toshiro I think I'd be looking for a training scenario or something kinda similar given he doesn't have a knight form yet. For Takamo... Idk, he's a business man known all over the world, he's a knight in his own right so I don't know where he'd end up being paired with. 

As for Kyouka my sorceress, she's available too (the little shit). Usually she's hanging around Toshiro if not Takamo. 

That being said, if there's a group RP going on I think I'd like to join it. I'm really wanting to get back into roleplaying in my Benadryl induced Schizophrenic state (I'm tired AF in other words.) but if it comes down to lore building, world building, or helping others explore character arcs, I'm all for it. Hot me up, let me know what's up. 

[Balthier]

Sounds good. I need to get back to everyone here,just not sure how the time will shake out yet. I'll be back eventually. 

[Balthier]

Welcome @Ren72, Been a little bit since we had someone join up.

Welcome aboard! Want to jump in on anything?

Will hopefully get some replies in tonight or soon after.  Had an unusually busy time recently, and it usually takes me a bit to get my head back into writing after I go this long without writing.  Work might or might not be annoying in the short term.  Have a four day Thanksgiving weekend coming up, but have to see if that impacts the week and a half of work I still have before then.  First Shinigami I just have to get my head back into it, brief thoughts about my other stuff:

Still had not got a chance to write some more for Azreal.  Still may want to do that before getting back to Alexandrine.  But might get a reply or two in there first, depending on how things go.

Emiri and Zorn remain on pause, with RenRen’s continued deactivation.  I’m still hoping that is temporary and she will eventually be back.  Will wait a while still, but if not might have to consider alternatives with Emiri.  Emi is sadly gone, only to be referred to when it makes sense, between Chiyako having trouble getting back into character/leaving and the rule change.  With the rule change, even if Chiyako does return at some point, safer for her to make a new character now.  I would hate to lose Emiri too though.  Will still wait a while, see if RenRen comes back, otherwise might have at least consider something there, whether see if someone wants to try to continue the character or make their own version of the character (helps that Emiri has only had little to no interaction with most characters so far, so a new version of the character would require little adjustment to stories).

Got my fellas Toshiro, Kyouka, and Takamo open, the very former is a beginner Knight, middle is a sorceress, and the latter is a veteran Knight. If you got questions about them lemme know. 

[Balthier]

I'm sporadically busy for periods, as usual. But I do have plenty of characters if you wanted to start something, @BladeRunner. Or I can always come up with someone new. I don't have anything specific in mind at the moment.

 

A few more active members would be fun. Maybe we should recruit someone.

I already recruited/tried recruiting everyone I thought might be interested.  Outside of some inactive members returning, like RenRen or the long inactive AirAllie (who helped inspire the club with a private RP the two of us had), I can’t do much more to help there but others are free to consider new people.  But my stuff will hopefully pick up in activity again shortly.  We will see what happens with Emiri, but still going to give a while to see if RenRen returns before considering other options on her.  Gardsorm may join in too at some point, when he has more time to write again.

I'm really out of the loop these days, and I get work scheduling (warehouse night owl here, especially with OT during Peak coming up) so my responses tend to be a little between. And I could start something, might take a day or two before I make an initial post, got get a minute for brainstorming. 

Don't think anyone I know on here are active, unfortunately. 

[Balthier]

There are a fair amount of people in the club. Not many actually became active regrettably. 

I've got so many RP's going, if they all responded in a few days I'd be in trouble and buried in replies for at least a week. Luckily they have been sporadic, and I've more or less been able to keep up.

If you think of a story you want to write feel free to let me know.

Some days I feel like, I can handle one more. Other days, I'm probably asking for burn out.

[Balthier]

The one character I can usually write for long periods without too much burn out so far, has been Exzel. So I can always do something with her if she's free the time something is taking place. I designed her to be like big bad levels of power though.

I have a lot of other characters, or could make one easy if ever needed. I have a good feel for writing Akemi too, but sometimes a harder time getting into her mindset to write, same with Zef. More situation dependant on inspiration. 

With Exzelcryth's shape shifting and dimension/word hopping power, just about anything is possible, story wise with her.

Mm, well I got four characters that I had planned on doing things with: 

Takamo is a sort of "retired" Knight despite his age. A businessman, he usually travels the world frequently given his role, however is also relied upon by the up echelon in magic society for investigations; namely investigations regarding demonic and otherworldly reports/relics. Beyond that he is otherwise known as the, "Witching Knight," and is feared to both the monstrous and magical communities. Storyline regarding Takamo is pretty tied into his past, where he's trying to find the ones that killed his family. Unfortunately he couldn't continue his role as a full knight and was forced into said retirement after the, "Haiti Incident," Which had seem the entire island get wiped out in black flame. 

Toshiro is a relatively new knight, having becoming good acquaintances with one Kari (which I intend to contact the player to see if they're interested in doing a story), Toshiro has immense power over fire and combustion despite not even having a knights form yet. With an no-nonsense attitude, the young man's storyline revolves around him excelling as a knight and finding an actual purpose... Well, a purpose he's not actively looking around for. 

Kyouka is a young sorceress, the Falling Star Witch, who's intellect is vast in both school and magic. Her deep attunement to astrology and tenacity for easily learning and even inventing new spells has allowed her to excel in the ranks of the Knights and Magigals. While I don't definitely have a plot for her, I'm more focused on her becoming more prominent and powerful. 

And finally Gierne'ham, otherwise to the world of monsters, the Chimera Prince or better famously the Gnashing Lord. His story revolves trying to fit in with the Human world, finding solace as an employee for an apothecary/greenhouse. Trying to escape his father's shadow, Gierne is not only trying to find a place on the Human world but also track down the man who killed the Chimera King, Gierse'ham. In truth, Gierne only wished to grow his strength, fight for sport, and study Humans and their habits. 

 

Edit: I'm not entirely certain how any of the characters would fit in with Excel, then again I should say that for anyone's character. My choice of poison is to help other's with their character arcs as to create that bond/relationship with my character so that later I can explore my own. I scratch your back type deal. Pretty laid back on ideas for plots and thereof.

Will hopefully get some replies in this afternoon and tonight, into tomorrow.  But going to mix it in with setting up another club that has been rolling around in the back of my mind for a few weeks now.  Little secret project until it is at last partially done.  Making that may help shake the dust off my head enough to write here more often again as well.
