I hate add one more to the drop list, but Ribbons will have to take his final bow. While playing him has sadly become a drain brain-wise and energy-wise, I am personally satisfied with what he was able to do during his stay, and his CR has made us very happy.

He will be disappearing as he takes a nap in the middle of next dayweek (Day 148). I will do my best to wrap up all of his current threads.

Thank you all very much for having him and for playing with him! I shall still be here with my other kids!

xoxo,
~AC
 

As is probably obvious to everyone I've been tagging with, I need a hiatus for awhile. My motivation is shot and I need a break from RP.

I'll be on hiatus until...let's say mid-January at the latest. May be back sooner, I don't know. We'll see.

If you need me to tag for an AC thread, let me know and I'll try to tag it to AC length for you.

Laters

[Activity : December]

1. Activity check!
Next to the link to your tag, there are three links for you to fill in. This is for you to go and find threads that you have tagged eight times or more. This is not the total count of comments in the thread; only the comments that you made. That means that the other person also has to have tagged back seven/eight times.

Issue the first: Threads are not finalized until the 7th. That means that if you don't have three qualifying threads, you still have a week to get that activity. You can put the links down that you'll be focusing on and ask people if you need them to tag on dropped threads.

Issue the second: If you don't have three threads of qualifying length, your activity is low. Even if you tagged eighty posts, if you didn't have a medium-length conversation in three of them, you don't have enough activity. You may justify why your activity has been spotty, but don't expect much leniency.

Issue the third: All three threads must be on separate posts. Untagged activity does not count toward your activity check. Icon spam counts as one comment.

Comment here with one of these filled out for every character you play.

<b>Name:</b> <b>Tag:</b> <a href="http://asylums.insanejournal.com/marinasylum/tag/NAME+HERE">☑</a> | <a href="THREAD ONE">+</a> | <a href="THREAD TWO">+</a> | <a href="THREAD THREE">+</a> <b>What did he/she do in December?:</b> <b>Any plans for him/her?:</b> <b>It's the same old year in Marina. How would your character celebrate the passing of a new year back home?:</b>


The purpose of the summary is to remind people what your character has been up to, so that any thoughts about your characterization will come back to them. Be detailed, but not tl;dr. It defeats the point if it's too long to read, or too short to jog memories. We will inform you if your summary isn't sufficient.

All characters who were in the game in December must respond to the activity check, unless you are on total hiatus for the week of the AC.


2. How's my driving?
Respond to other people's comments! Tell them if you think their characterization is right, wrong, just slightly off the mark; tell them if you think they as a player need to work on something, IC or OOC. You don't have to know someone's canon to give them valuable feedback.

Everyone is required to be open to concrit to play here! The mods will take steps if someone is not responding well to crit, provided you can document it.

Anon comments are enabled, IP addresses are not tracked.


3. Have fun!
New kids will be incoming next week!

Apps are now closed!

We've been reviewing the apps and will shortly get out comments to each apper! Once you've been accepted, our current players will post here to introduce their new characters! Tell us:

• Who you are


• Who you play and who you apped


• Maybe a little of what they're like


• How we can contact you


• Anything else you think is important!

Then other people will comment to be enthusiastic. ♥ New players can also post here if they're more comfortable with it. Everyone will be let into the IC community Monday after the daypost.

/peers around corner

Hi there...

My name's Raine, I'm new here. I bring you the offering of one innocent, naive but super sweet and booksmart princess (who knows how to use a sword, mind you) by the name of Estellise from Tales of Vesperia, though you will probably hear her nickname "Estelle" being thrown around. I bring her from post-game, so she's fairly mature and has grown a lot on her journey and not nearly as naive as she was when she first started. Though apparently, she's still tons of fun to troll and tease...

My plurk is over yonder at elegantes or you can contact me via AIM/E-mail which is valkyries[@]love.com.

Glad to be here, and hope to have a blast!

/goes back into hiding

Hiii Marina! long time reserving, first time app'ing fff I'm RV and I come hurling John Egbert from Homestuck in your general direction.

He's being nabbed post-Act 6 Intermission 1, so pretty much his most recent appearance. Notable things about John include his derp, tact (lack thereof, rather), ≈wiiiiiiiindy things≈, dorky buckteeth, horrible tastes in movies, and pranksterism.

I do have a plurk but I'm going to be getting a new account soon sooo if you want to friend/follow me despite that, that'd be fine by me! Just let me know who you are first, please. Otherwise, I can be contacted through my personal InsaneJournal or Dreamwidth, veeroics @ AIM, and veery.punny @ gmail.

I'm all kinds of excited to finally play here!

Well hey there everyone! My name is Celina but you can call me 'Lina and I shall be bringing you the lovely Alice B. Rabbit from Pandora Hearts. ^_^ She does come from the middle of chapter 65 when fighting with Echo at the HQ so things are a little hectic for the poor rabbit at the moment. I hope she can make some descent friends here or at least someone she can trust....just don't feel bad if she uses you as a sparing partner at first, she can be a little rough >_<. Anyways feel free to add me on Plurk at sempaiknowsbest, just let me know your name and who you play, I'd LOVE to do some plotting and i'm so glad to be here!

Guys. Guys. ARE YOU EXCITED? I'm excited.

Hi it's Rylie and I am baaaaaack. I used to play a few people here awhile ago (I was Alphonse Elric for over a year and Toothless for awhile who I plan to re-app next app round!)

But in that time, I have discovered COMIC BOOKS ARE AWESOME so I am bringing in two comic characters (sort of). Sort of because the first one is Tim Drake but he's from the DC Animated Universe so he's fairly different from Comics Tim. If you know anything about DC Comics, he's pretty much Comic Tim and Comic Young!Jason Todd rolled up into one character (there are jokes about him being their lovechild). I put him at 13 even though I don't think his age is ever specifically stated... He's the second Robin the Boy Wonder and his dad was a thug who was killed off so he's officially been adopted by Bruce Wayne (I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW WHO BRUCE WAYNE IS). I'm pulling him from the end of the Batman Animated series so he's had his little stint with Superman and the events from the tie in comics have also taken place but before the two movies and Static Shock episodes because he's older in them and WE ARE JUST GOING TO PRETEND THAT THE JOKER MOVIE DOES NOT EXIST -sob-

MY OTHER CHARACTER is Billy Kaplan! He's a 16 year old mutant mage from Marvel Comics and a big huge nerd. His fanboy knowledge is like epic, no lie. He's apart of the Young Avengers team and he has CRAZY MAGIC REALITY WARPING POWERS but you won't have to worry about those because they've been really reduced so they won't be quite so crazy. His backstory is REALLY REALLY COMPLICATED and full of spoilers so I'll leave that alone for now. He'll just be sitting over in a corner missing his boyfriend who he is totally in love with. ALSO HE'S TOMMY'S TWIN BROTHER even though they come from different families (like I said, it's complicated) SO HI BRO.

AS A LITTLE SIDE NOTE, I'm taking an upper level Winterim college class right now that gives me homework every day and like two papers to write every week but luckily it's only a two and a half week long class so I'll be done January 14th. Please forgive me if I'm not at top tagging speed until then!

Hey there! I'm Amber and I'll be bringing in Rika Furude from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. She's an adorable little girl who loves to play card games and has a tendency to sometimes be a bit creepy. I'm also taking her from right after Minagoroshi-hen, so she's going to try and be positive and hopeful about everything.

Also, if you wanna plot or just talk, my AIM is secondhand magic and my plurk is right here!

I'm excited to be here and look forward to playing with everyone!

Hey everybody! I'm Nammah, and it's my first time playing here. And as you can see, I'm bringing in Gilbert Nightray, from Pandora Hearts!

Those who have not played with him before, he's an adorable dork. He will be very protective of Oz, and well...scared of all cat people/animals/objects. yes I'm looking at you Cheshire. He'll be coming from the discovery of who his real master is, after screaming his head off.

It's a pleasure to meet everyone, and if you'd like to contact me, I'm at plurk @ nammah, and AIM with blindcrowfly. I'm looking forward to playing here!

Wow um...hi GOSH I'm never good at intros, but here goes.

Hi, my name is Syrup! Well, my name is Julie, but Syrup is fine too. After a little bit of (welcomed!) enabling, I'm bringing Michael Trinity of the Gundam 00 fandom to Marina! He's coming here around episode 22, basically a moment before dying. So he'll probably be angry and more than a little confused. Michael is a pretty huge jerk to pretty much everyone. If you can handle that, he's also very prone to getting all his buttons pushed--needle him at your own risk, and watch out for protective big brother mode where Nena's concerned.

Anyway. If you want to plot with me, Plurk would be easiest at Oceansofsyrup, or you can catch me on AIM at "Ikeyofangs". It's great to be here, I'm super excited, and I really look forward to playing with everyone soon!

SUBJECT SAYS IT ALL.

But no, seriously, if you don't know me, because I haven't been here in a couple months, I am Anju. I brought to you Jack Harkness from Torchwood/Doctor Who. He is a lovely tri-sexual immortal guy who's pretty laid back. He'll be arriving just after leaving his team after his boyfriend dies, and despite that, he'll probably act like absolutely nothing is wrong with him, even though he's sort of falling from grace on the inside.

He's in love with the Doctor. That is a fact that has been stated multiple times in canon and will continue to affect him in-game.

Now when I say tri-sexual, I mean he'll be attracted to a tree if the curves are in the right places. (Tri as in TRI anything. Herp derp.) I plan to play this out. He'll flirt with anyone who looks at all good-looking as long as they're not too young...

So. Have fun with this guy.

I'm glad to be back! ♥

Hullo!

I'm Munin and I'll be bringing you the infamous soccer-loving dork from Weiss Kreuz, Ken Hidaka! He's actually going to be from right at the end of his canon (the end of Side B), so he's not as... unstable as he's been in the past.

Enjoy and I hope to get to play with everyone!

Edit: I forgot! I'm on Plurk as soundofdrums, so feel free to add me if you want!
