First reply! :3 It was a question pertaining to this RP so I thought it best to ask here. You said no anime stuff for appearance refs, but I've done a lot of searching for pics that would fit Eva and I haven't really found anything. I drew this super awesome picture that I had intended to use as a reference picture; would that be okay? It'll be fully colored and everything before I post it, and everything.
While the Darkness is powerful and versatile, only the LIGHT has the power to give peace. While the Darkness numbs the pain, only the LIGHT can completely heal that pain. And while the Darkness makes the bad in the world seem less, bad it is only lessened because it immerses you in that badness, making you tolerant. The LIGHT may make obvious the bad, but with that comes truth and sight.

@ sin sin: For the sake of not having you wait until someone else sees this -- the answer to your question is yes. If you have a custom GF of some kind that you would like to use, send it to Protofiend in a PM for approval.

You can also ask about your custom GF here, if you'd prefer. Keep in mind that the Final Fantasy world has many unique summons, so yours has to be something truly spectacular to warrant consideration. We always prefer canon summons, so it might be worth looking through a list to see if there is something for you.

Question: Do you mean that the bio look has to be drawn, and not computer animated anime? Cause, I'm a little confused on how the picture has to portray the look.

No, you don't have to draw anything; you can use computer generated images. We just don't want Japanese anime-style pictures. Take this example:

This is acceptable.

This is not acceptable.

This is acceptable.

This is not acceptable.

This is very borderline acceptable, and not preferable.

Does that give you an idea of what we're looking for?

Hello, everyone.

Okay, so... I'm going to attempt to submit a character profile, but if it needs to be altered or I forget/don't get right one of the specifications, just tell me? This way, I'm not asking twenty million questions that probably aren't all that relevant. If something's incorrect, I'll change it, assuming it's even close enough to what you were looking for to be worth fixing in the first place.

It's been a long time since I played FFVIII...

@ Kurokiku: A good idea would be to take a look at the profiles that have been accepted thus far and copy the format from one of them as a template for your own.

I have a question regarding continuity, but it's on a fairly minor subject.

Zeke and Elia were 17 in part one. Part two is three years later. Why are they 21?

This affects me only in that Wolf was eighteen in part one, and he was a year older than everyone else except Eva. So now I don't know what to put as his age.
"Good and Evil" is too complicated. I prefer, "Us and Them".

As we've already discussed in the OOC from Chapter One, Elia's birthday could have (and did) fall during the events of Chapter One. That means she was 18 at the time and now is 21. Wolf could just be a few weeks or months older than Elia or any of the other returning characters.

Yes, that is an acceptable image.

A note to all new players: as you may or may not have guessed, you are blessed with two GMs for this game. All character applications will be viewed by both of us before a decision is made, so please don't expect them to be processed quickly. However, we will do our best to avoid making you wait a ridiculous amount of time.

I am searching for an appropriate character image for Kai. Finding suitable pics fir black characters is extremely difficult because they are wholly underrepresented in RP except in laughable stereotypes. The vast majority of images are alll of tthe typical white-person-trying-to-look-japanese type and that obviously won't work.

This might be a stupid question, but do I put the GF I want in my bio? Or do you decide what I get?

Yes, please put your desired GF in your bio. The equipment section is likely the most suitable place.

Well, my bio is going to be delayed for a short while, as apparently I wasn't logged in when I submitted it. And now I have to start over.
