everything that's random

Hello everybody - I'm pretty sure I only know one other person here, but let's fix that. I'm Ashley; been RPing for quite a number of years now, but haven't ever been in WC although it looks to be a fabulous game. I'm bringing you Ivy Tamwood of Kim Harrison's "The Hollows" series, who is my sole character for now but that might change >.>

Ivy is a living vampire, which basically means she's got all the perks of being a vampire with none of the downsides. Of course, all of that changed when she became the scion of an older than dirt vampire - now sunlight bothers her, and her desire for blood is heightened, though she doesn't need it to survive. She has a lot of control issues, is probably OCD, and overall just has a lot of problems, period. I would hope to have her working in some capacity as law enforcement, but we'll see what happens. Ivy likes to work off her stress/aggression by hurting those who break the law, but The City doesn't seem to have any law necessarily... She's also good as a bodyguard or something of a private detective.

Anyway, looking forward to RPing with you all, hope you had a good holiday and a happy new year :]

Hello everyone! I'm Ali! I've been with We_Co for awhile now. I did drop a few of my characters (for now) and stuck with two of my girls. I live over in PST and work part time so I have a TON of time for roleplay and talking and being weird. I'm really weird. Ask Mila. I am very weird!

So here is Kaylee Frye (i_fixthings) from Firefly/Serenity. Kaylee is post Serenity, so she knows all about what went down with Miranda and thought Wash and Book were dead. Kaylee in We_Co kind of dropped in and just started her life over. She loved it. THEY HAVE STRAWBERRIES. The Mal at the time found Serenity and Kaylee began fixing it up between meeting lots of new folks. She loves tinkering with anything that's mechanical. In fact, since her time in The City began Kaylee has opened up her own 'Shop' to fix things. You can call her, find her grab her whatever and as long as the price is right (really she'd take strawberries in payment she's not hard to bargain with) she'll totally try to fix whatever you've got.

Kaylee tends to talk to inanimate objects as if they were alive and people. She loves animals. Kaylee is super easy to get along with and per previous stuff she didn't really have anyone she didn't like! She loves everyone! Friends? FRIENDS~ The only time I can recall Kaylee freaking out is when Sir Guy was in love with her and she was in love with him but she'd never met him and it kind of weirded her out but he was very nice and everything. (And wore a lot of leather, reeeow!) So yes! That's Kaylee.

This is Elle Bishop (i_shock) from Heroes. Elle comes from the end of Season Two right after Sylar escaped she went to chase him down and kind of fell into the City. Elle can manipulate electricity and use it to attack or really to zap things and people. The electricity can be arcs, orbs, or variations of the two. It looks a little like blue lightning. She's a bit of a spark plug. Eager to control those in the city that have powers. She still doesn't understand the whole super hero thing as there were comics where she came from. She thinks the people with special powers need to be captured by The Company and dealt with as such things happened in her world.

Elle's a little bit sadistic. Playfully of course. She loves to zap cute guys and has a lot of dependency issues. Since arriving in the city she's been talking randomly into a cell phone that no longer works which she thinks her father can hear her through. She often speaks about her father, referring to him as daddy. Daddy said this, daddy said that. Girl's got issues. But she's a bit of a klutz most of the time. Buuuuut if someone were to really piss her off she could electrocute them terribly. So be careful! She and Crowley destroyed the castle before We_Co closed the first time. She really could use some more friends. She was friends with Jesse and Crowley (or at least sort of partners with Crowley in mischief). Besides that I believe she didn't meet tooooo many people. :( SO BE FRIENDS WITH HER K?

Plot welcome for either one! :D

Just a few things for our lovely players.

- There is, and always has been, a place that we gather to give each other love, and that's character_love. Anyone can join, post for any game they're in, any character they love reading, praise other players, what have you. We're trying to get it regularly used again, so why not just tout it here, yes?

- The Pledge = This is very important, and is actually required in order to play. Each of your characters will need to sign it in their own comment. If you have not done this yet, please do it as soon as possible. It's fun, and yet it's serious. We'd like this restart of the game to be fun and enjoyable to everybody, and part of it is the pledge.

- We're going to make a bit of a push to bring more focus on something that's been in game the whole time, but hasn't had a lot of attention. You may remember this from joining, long long ago in a faraway place called Greatestjournal. The City provided these personal computers to every character, they could be used for email and texting, computerish things. Your characters couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard they tried.

They will be changed ever so slightly to now include actual phone abilities. Giving them more of a Palm look:



All the previous information about them will stay the same. Email, chat, call, text, whatever.

Now. To use these, there are two options. You will see tags to this effect as well, one being !communications: the network and the other being !communications: other. Other means everything that is not on the open network. If something is on the open network anybody can reply to it. Anybody. If you want what you've written to only be viewable by certain characters, you need to put that in the subject line. So if you're writing Buffy it would be Lunch? (Buffy: text/email/im/etc) otherwise, just put something along the lines of Hello? (Network: chat/email/etc).

The most important part of this that ALL things that are open network MUST go in the community. Must. And if you want your private-to-certain-characters things to count as activity, they also must go in the community. If any of this is done in personal journals, it will not count. Please remember this.

- There were some fairly big happenings with The City itself before we closed down. We suggest that you catch up a little, because this will all be important, and we don't want anybody blindsided.

- Please make much use of the directory and friends list button. We do keep it up to date constantly, so there won't be any bad information there as far as we're concerned.

- Plot: We don't have a regular plot chat, as we're very scattered as a group and it's not easy to do. Once in a while it can be pulled off. But not often. When it does happen, it will be posted in we_connect. Otherwise, that's what we made the community for. But please don't be afraid to contact people on aim or by email either. Don't wait around for people to bug you for plot, you have to bug as well.

- Starting the 1st holds will return to their normal 3 day status with one 3 day extension (barring special circumstances, of course).

- We still have the Wanted Characters page, but it's undergone a little plastic surgery and become a little more organized. Please have a look, and don't be shy about adding your suggestions.

And Now The Really Important Part
Opening Plot Notice.
We're going to have a game-wide opening plot. It will involve everybody. I will make another post about it in a few days. It will have many details. Which is why it'll be it's own post.

Thanks!
