Hey guys, it's about the middle of the month, and so far, September's looking a lot like August. Have no fear, Ash and I are gearing up some event fun to come later on, but we want all of you involved in playing too! So, here's a little way to get the plots flowing, hopefully! All you have to do is fill it out with copy and pasting, and talk with each other! You are all very strongly encouraged to participate. That's one step down from "mandatory."

Character Name: Plot suggestions: Whatever suggestions you have for plots involving/that may involve your character. Current Storylines: What’re they going through right now? Character issues you wish to explore: Upcoming Storylines: If you have upcoming storylines that aren’t meant to be a surprise, please list them here, list who’s involved, if it’s open/closed, and anything else you need! Possible Plot Traits: Things about your character that may trigger responses/plots from others.

Also, over the past few months, you've gotten to know your mods, but now we get to start learning about our fellow players with a Player of the Month (and this is purely voluntary to participate--but if we could get a volunteer for October, please let us know!), and this month it's Angie!

Name: Angie C because only people at work and my mother should call me Angela
Date of Birth: 11-30-78
Relationship Status: Single
Kids/Pets: I have 2 cats, a mismatched brother and sister duo named Lennon and Serendipity. Do roomies count? I have two of those, too.
Hometown: Pennsylvania
Day Job: Customer care rep for Hartford AARP Insurance.
Dream Job: Magical fairy princess karate master... But barring that, I would be a writer.

Mythological Background: My memory is a bit foggy but I'm pretty sure I discovered Greek mythology in about third grade and promptly became obsessed. I distinctly remember the location of the mythology books in the children's section - just one shelf over from my other obsession, fairy tales. I graduated to Egyptian and Roman and meandered my way through other pantheons over time. In fact, my first ever text-based RP was an interesting mash-up of the Magical Girl genre in anime and various world mythologies... And aliens. Because. Just aliens.

RP Background: I've been text-RPing since 2000 and have either modded or co-modded three games over that time. I have assisted in designing/building many more. I have more voices in my head than is strictly good for a person. I dabbled in tabletop back in high school, mostly the Hero system and DND, but found it nearly impossible to find another group that would let an icky girl in once I was away from school. Right now, I'm in... a lot of games. Mostly because this is my crack, people. It keeps me off the streets, running amok, and starting snap-dance fights. It's peer pressure, I tell you.

Fun Facts: I spent my junior year of college over in England, stationed at the University of Essex. Which happens to be in Colchester, the oldest recorded town in England and the place where Boudicca famously handed the Romans their asses.

I collect hats which is useful since my magical superpower is wearing hats and looking spiffy.

Every 2-3 years, I chop off at least 10 inches of my hair to donate. I've been doing this for about 10 years now.

My favorite authors are Spider Robinson, Terry Pratchett, Emma Bull, and Peter S Beagle (who also happens to be one of the sweetest old dudes around). Poetry goes to Rumi, Hafiz, and Neruda.

I used to dream of playing Rosaline in Shakespeare's As You Like It.

I will soon be a published erotica author under a pen name.

Open to additional questions: Okey dokey!

Tyr and Ares could have some interesting interactions. Especially if someone gets her way and Ares steps forward as trainer/commander of the West Coast Greek forces. Trading old soldier stories, for the win!

We already know Goliath and Ares are hilariously BFFs. XD

Titania is, more than anything, amused by Bres. Okay, a little puzzled, too. She wants to find out more about him and try to figure out why Mab has claimed him. She isn't looking to stir trouble; she is just in info-gathering mode. She will tease the hell out of him but not offer any sort of challenge or threat.
