I thought it would be good if you were all brought together, before you're separated again (*cough*foreshadowing*cough*).

Yesterday I was unable to update because of a major thunderstorm here, which meant that I couldn't use the computer. Today is update day.

I can't post yet. Apparently, something's going to happen to me (again) and only Them knows what it is. Them?

I edited my last post for your character, Jack. Now you're in there. Another big mysterious moment for you.

Everyone else: I know that FalloutJack seems to be having all these interesting things happen to him in the RP. The only reason this hasn't happened for everyone is that he has been trying to interact with these strange objects, and has attempted to do this. The RP changes to suit your character's actions. Depending on what you do, different things will take place.

I'd apologize, but this is how I built Evan. He's good for the egghead stuff.

I have no problem with that. I like it, in fact. I just wanted to clarify that what happens to your character depends on what your character does.

You saw that I updated for you in the RP, right?

I've already posted it in the RP itself, but just for good measure, here it is again:

This fight between you two (Cyphon and Pyro) ends. Now.

If you were doing this for some other in the RP, I wouldn't mind. But getting mad at each other for how you're acting as players in the RP is unacceptable. You're getting mad about nothing and ruining the RP for everyone else. Both of you.

Here's how we'll solve this:

Everyone, respect what Pyro's character says, at least some of the time. Pyro's part of the RP too.

Pyro, I really don't like the way you handled that. You retaliated with the intention of screwing everything up. I don't like that. You should keep your character--she's a good counterbalance to the others--but that was completely uncalled for.

And Cyphon, I don't want to see you swearing your ass off at other people in the RP just cause you're pissed. I'm going to solve the situation for you, but don't retaliate so angrily to what Pyro says.

I understand why both of you are upset, and I know you're both angry. But I need you to stop. For now, we're going to ignore those last two posts. Unless something is decided to the contrary, I will have a mod (probably either Masau or Kranford) delete the two posts. After that, I want both of you to respect each other. You're both acting like children.

If you--any of you--continue to act in such a spiteful and immature manner, there will be consequences.

name: Chris

Physical Description: a little on the short side, being only 5 feet 4 inches tall, Chris is and interesting combination. if you look at his arms, you don't see much muscle, so people generally tend to assume that he is weak, but he has very powerful legs, enabling him to jump highand run quickly. even though his arms are skinny, he has more than sufficient strength to haul himself up places. he is completly average in all of his looks, however. it is very difficult to pick him out in a crowd, unless he is randomly selected for something.

Background: Chris grew up in the slums. at a young age, he quickly learned that it was far better to appear a skinny wraith and hide, instead of being the muscle-bound gang leader. he was very often picked on by larger kids, who thought that size and strength meant everything. Chris was a quick learner, and soaked up stuff. one day in his youth, he met someone with similar problems, but this other short kid knew ways of defeating larger opponents, so Chris stuck with him and learned.

Equipment/Weapons: something of a loner, Chris has no high-tech gadgets or toys, just speed, endurance, and, of course, a sniper rifle. he took the odd assassination job to see him through rough times, and didn't worry about wether or not there was a trail because the capital never investigated. he also has several well balanced knives, designed for throwing. made of a very hard material, he has tested them against many other materials, adn even if his knives can't cut through it, they do not break, or get dented or nicked edges. he also likes to have an ancient revamped M16 rifle, for mid-range combat. it features a nice scope, about a third the power of his sniper rifle's. he has about 3-5 stash's of weapons in each of the major cities, and always carries 1 set with him at all times.

Pisonics:
he has no psionic abilities, but when he was young he was chosen by a random drug tester of the capital off the streets. he was injected with a chemical compound, and now his mind is immune to the effects of any psionics. it's not a wall, it's as if he doesn't exist. (if any of you have read elvenblood, you'll know what i'm talking about.) he still has emotions, however, adn can still be influenced by empaths.

I like the new character, Pyro. However, I don't think you should replace your old one. Your old character was different from the others, but that's what made her an interesting character.

Great, I have a feeling that Felix is gonna be scarred by this. Not deforming of course, but you'll be able to see that on his face the rest of his life, the little white marks all over.

Awesome.

I know I don't usually advertise for other RPs, especially on my own RP, but Cyphon--who is also my good friend outside of this forum (I invited him)--is launching an RP called Forge. I know a lot of you don't know Cyphon outside of Epitaph/Chorus of Whispers, but he really is a great guy, and a very creative one. I'm sure his RP will turn out great. Anyone who is at all interested in joining, it's under General Roleplay.

Even if you don't join his RP, please give him the same acceptance you gave me. He deserves it.

I'd probably join, but since I don't know how active I'm going to be able to be over the next few weeks, I don't want to get involved in another RP.

The only way to get out of the room is by using the mirror. Play around with it; it won't injure any of you. I'll let you hurt each other, but I won't hurt any of your characters... for now.

Are all of you still waiting for me to elaborate on my post? Or did you just not realize that I had provided a (small) update? I will state what happens as you do things, but for the most part I prefer not to make stuff happen without one of you triggering it in some way. If you want me to make something further happen with what you've already done, say so.

To my credit, I'm not doing anything just yet for a couple of reasons.

Number one, there have been home/computer/internet issues which I have been kicking the ass of lately.

Number two, Evan is more or less wearing himself out and he needs to gather himself, so I'm not having him take another action at this time.

ATTENTION ALL EPITAPH PARTICIPANTS:

It has just come to my attention that S. Puma will be away for he next month or so. He has asked that, during that time, I take control of his character, "Oslo Thistes" (is that spelled right?). In my updates, I will state what his character does until his creator's return to LotG. I just wanted you to know.

MikeV37 will, as he is annually, be gone for one month of the summer (July) to visit his father in Russia. I do not yet know what he wishes me to do with his character during his absence, but I will notify you all when he tells me.

EVERYONE PARTICIPATING IN EPITAPH NEEDS TO TELL ME IF THEY ARE CURRENTLY ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.

The reason I haven't updated recently is because so many people are gone for vacations and the like. I need to know right now how many people are able to actively participate over the next few weeks.

Yes, I'm on vacation. But I do have internet access. I'm not going to be on much this week, since I didn't go on vacation just to sit in front of the computer, but I will continue to post on this RP. I just need to think of what I'll do next...

Holy crap, I just realized that the woman-that-died-and-mysteriously-came-back-without-logical-explanation-and-has-tiny-cameras-built-into-her-irises-and-has-a-bunch-of-other-random-assorted-shit-happening-to-her is still in the room with you, with a bunch of blood and stuff, and hasn't done anything in forever. Because she's not dead, even if she seems like it. I'll need to include her in my next post.

For anyone who doesn't know already, I updated the RP yesterday. If anyone finds that the latest update didn't give you enough material to work with, or just wasn't clear, I will be happy to add to it.

Added a new 'power' under Jim's special powers to explain the two OoB experiences.
Quote:
 
Hallucination: Not a power, but a weakness. Due to Jim's connection to Shadow, he has begun to rely heavily on her presence in his mind. When they are separated (mentally) for long periods of time, Jim begins to shut down. During this process, Jim's conscious mind travels between the real world and seemingly random locations (usually places that he has been with Shadow, or will be with Shadow. However, sometimes his mind goes to places that don't even exist). During such episodes, Jim's body continues to do whatever it was beforehand (i.e. if he's running, he won't stop till he hits something). The only exception is moments before his conscious mind returns to the real world. During this time, actions taken in the 'fake' world are also taken in the real world (if possible). None of the information in gained during such experiences can be trusted. While his conscious mind is experiencing one of these hallucinations, his subconscious mind keeps track of the everything going on around him, resulting in two sets of memories when the conscious mind returns. As the length of separation increases, Jim becomes less and less able to tell the difference between what is real and what isn't.


EDIT: I also fixed an inconsistency (previously, it said the oldest of Shadow's breed was 15, yet Shadow is 20).

Can you people please make your posts more than a sentence or two long? Seriously, an RP like this can't run like that, with each post so short.

This RP's still running, everyone. We need someone to post, and we can't get into the pattern of one person posting, then me updating, then one person posting, then me updating again. We need everyone involved.
