I seem to be starting up an IRC channel for my site again. I got the taste for IRC again after I helped set up another one for DR stuff.

I'm trying to make this relatively private, so contact me first if you wanna join the channel and I'll give you the info. I don't expect the channel to be big or anything, just throwing the offer out there in case someone is interested.

I'm kinda excited to have an IRC presence, it's been a while. Now that I'm on a rpol break I have had this huge urge to do IRC RP. I guess 'cause it's faster and lightweight and tends toward more casual play.

But I still have plenty of other potential projects on my plate. Ooh and I just set up a private forum for Kalli and her friend, so that got me excited for setting up web stuff. I may even update Drupal in a little bit, maybe set up a RP site idea I had... we'll see!

I actually have another post I wrote earlier which I will finish and post later, but for now I'll write what I've been up to lately!

I left a record number of rpol games lately. Just... a lot of really slow games, and games I wasn't all that interested in after the fact.

Incidentally I'm only in ONE FFRPG game now. And I had joined a HUGE amount of them just a month or so ago! I'm sad about losing the chance to play Irina, who was one of my faves. Just, the game didn't have the right pace and level of description for me.

Right now I'm trying to work my way into a game where I'm playing a No Moon, Tlatcha. She's a lynx totem, a sorceress, and has a theme concerning dreams with significant, even prophetic meaning. She's a Haslanti Dreamseer and gets called southward by a dream quest, thereafter getting involved in the game plot. Also one of my youngest chars, probably around 17-18 years old.

The GM is taking a lot of time writing out setting detail while working with the backgrounds and motivations of the PCs. I like that he's detail oriented, but I hope he'll actually have the drive to keep up the game itself once it starts. That's usually the difficult part. I see plenty more rpol games die than live.

To continue my dorky RP posting (I am too old for this, maybe):

I has cute viera chibis! (from tektek - Gaia Online graphics) They resemble three of my viera characters I've made thus far for rpol games.

Read more to see images and descriptions! My site is too slow lately for me to want to overload the front page with more images. :(

I've made plenty of characters recently. Let me at least list them all (these are the characters I've made since Grace in Sorrow, and the new Brynja I play in FFRPG).

- Sheska Ironfist, Zenith Solar: my ex-dynast blind martial artist, borrowing bits from a character concept based on Shiho from Valkyrie Profile. Got rejected cause someone took the Zenith spot before me. :(
- Ishika Sui, Elvaan Ninja: He's an androgynous looking character whose specialty (besides dual-dagger wielding mayhem) is acting and disguise for the purpose of spying/undercover work.
- Irina, Viera Dark Knight: Conceived as an opposite of Bryn (who is a traditional Viera). This is a Viera rejected by the Wood for having an affinity toward Darkness. Also wields a HUGE SCYTHE (with +5 acc! oooh!)
- Zahra, Viera Spellbow: Yeah, I recycled a name. This is the character for the custom Final Fantasy game I'm playing. Very involved chargen, I created my own Job and Techniques/Spells attached to it!

Then I applied for a game run by one of my Academy players, a freeform game set in a middle eastern location. I decided to take over one of the major players in the political intrigue, a former NPC who I hopefully will start writing for soon. I liked how I wrote this one so I will share it. :)

Latest random RP idea: Utena-ish game. Thinking of running it in OVA system (not Original Video Animation but Open Versatile Anime RPG), but need to get a hold of the PDF.

I've been joining SO MANY FFRPG games lately (even a homebrew one that's neither d100 or d6, but some sort of funky mashup of every RPG I've ever played). Now that Academy is slowly dying, and my interest in my other games is becoming questionable, I just keep wanting to join games instead. To be fair, Outcastes is going a bit better lately, but I'm still worried about whether I'll still be up to running Five Coils after how much DRAMA it caused me.

You'd think I'd go and do something better with my life instead... :P

I have been exercising a bit more and going out a bit more but lately I'm having a lot of trouble due to over-sensitivity to loud noises. Like, I cringe when horns are honked, or people yelling, and just plain have to plug my ears if there's loud things like badly maintained engines, construction work, etc.) So that makes it hard to go anywhere, again. There's always SOME sort of reason.
