DORM SHUFFLE

Activity check has been processed and tomorrow we will finish that up and do the dorm shuffle. Stay tuned for an updated dorm list. As always, if there's anyone in particular you want to room with don't hesitate to let us know your preferences.

RULE CHANGE

Previously we had a cap on Pokemon slots per player and lifted it. Now that we're starting to grow again with encounters of the Pokemon kind, we'd like to extend a bit of a chance to new and potential players interested in joining that particular cast. We're going to be reinstating the Pokemon slot rule. Here's how it's going to work (and if you're not a new player, you'll know how it goes already):

Two (2) Pokemon per player. Current players who have more than this will be grandfathered in, but from this point forward, the rule stands. Use your slots sparingly and wisely.

TAGGING

It's come to our attention that a lot of entries are not actually tagged with characters in said entries. While this wouldn't ordinarily be a problem, when it comes to double checking things like AC, the lack thereof has proven to be a bit troublesome. The tagging system is meant to be convenient to both you guys as players for organizational purpose (as we know some of you keep timelines for your characters) and to us for when we need to reference player/character activity and other related things.

So let's make it a little easier all around and please, please tag your character(s) into entries and logs, whether you're the one making the entry, or the one replying to it.

O hai.

I am HB. I am probably as new as it gets. I didn't even know about Dreamwidth until a couple weeks ago. I followed Blackjack here because I like to RP and this group looks interesting.

The character I'm going to be playing is Pulseman. He is a half-human, half-virtual being known as a half-C-Life or electrace, meaning that he can exist in the real world as well as in cyberspace, and can travel from one to the other at will by jumping through computer screens. He also has the ability to charge electric energy and channel it through his body for various purposes, including using it as a form of attack. He's fairly obscure, but Pokemon fans might recognize him, either them or some oldschool Game Freak fans and people who subscribed to the SEGA Channel when it existed. I was introduced to him by a friend on Whirled who made an animated avatar out of his game sprites. Since then I've been doing a lot of research on him, mostly because I want to draw a comic book of him; he's the only Game Freak character (or one of a very select few) who hasn't appeared in a comic book--and he's the only one who is a superhero!

I'll be working on getting him integrated with the school environment soon. I'll also be getting some more info up on my journal for those who aren't very familiar with the character. Totally looking forward to playing with everyone. :D
