Sounds like fun. You can use me as a character. X3 You also have permission to use Komrade Killix if you need a villian. (Komrade Killix can be a protagonist, it's just easier to use her as a villian. XD)

If it's not too late, I'd like to sign up as character. No preferences whether good or bad, though if possible I'd like to have the role of someone making/dabbling with magical artefacts (wands, gadgets, weapons, you name it).

If it's not too late, I'd like to sign up as character. No preferences whether good or bad, though if possible I'd like to have the role of someone making/dabbling with magical artefacts (wands, gadgets, weapons, you name it). Not too late at all. ^^ As an aside, for anyone who wants to still sign up as a character (and we need as many as possible!), just keep this in mind: In the NTWF Games, I simply used usernames as character names. This worked because it was a spoofy tone and all that. However, in this case, the tone is going to be a quite bit more serious, and my co-authors and I have decided that it may look off to have non-"real" name characters running around. For this reason, we have come up with the following solution, which requires as little or as much work as you want to put into it: 1. If you want your forum persona (or a variant of it) to be used, just tell us. Preferably when you sign up. If that persona comes with a "regular" name we'll use it. If it's a username, however, please give us a 'real world' name we can use and then we'll tie your forum name in with some nickname or surname the like. The real world name can either be a play off the username (e.g., maybe Killix becomes Killian, or Zylaa becomes Sila), but it could also be something you pull out of thin air just 'cos you like the name. If you do not know if your name counts as a 'real world' name or not... just ask. XD If you are one of the people who creates a new name, we'll then find a way to utilize your username as either a nickname, surname, or something similar, to make it clear who you are. We'll also probably post up a list so people can put two and two together. An example of this would be how in mafia RP, Thundy had 'Thunderbolt' as his last name. OR 1. If you want to make an original character in place of your persona, you can do that. This entails more work, obviously. But allows more freedom as well. Give us a name, a general description, all that jazz. Probably easier to do this one through PM. You'll then be 'credited' as the character in the separate list. And if you have any questions, just ask.

(I am thinking of a name now)

Ooh, high fantasy with magics, sign me up as a character! 8D I'll, uh, have to get back to you guys on what to do about a proper name though. Might just have to create a persona or OC or something, but I'll let you know soon

Can't tell if I'm too late or not because this was all done really fast while I was away, but I'd like to sign up for charactering if possible, please. ._.,
Since Coaster is a bit of a strange name, something that gets the point across (e.g. Colin Aster >_>) or Eli with any indicative last name would be alright. No particular affinity to type or magnitude of role--anything from heroic rival to castle kitchen staff to one-off student who appears out of nowhere and kamikaze explodes to change the course of the story is fine to me.
Characterization-wise, would be the type to try to mix things (like combat styles or potion effects) that don't always work well together (not necessarily in an inventor-type sense), and if applicable, prefer a non-cliché but still existent weapon (eg. wand, bad; candle or enchanted pocket plant hulk in a jar, good; sword, bad; halberd or carpentry hacksaw, good). EDIT: also slightly musical. >_>

It's not too late at all! The deadline for characters (and artists) isn't going to really well, exist. XD This is going to be an ambitious project and we need as much art, and as many characters, as we can get. ^__^

Ted Sebastian Minion signing up for character duty!
I think something that captures my mischievous/fun side would be good, as long as I'm not outright malicious. That wouldn't fit my persona at all, no siree. As for role/alignment/whatever, I'm not that bothered. As long as I don't rigidly stick to/reinforce a rules system I don't believe in (in the story, I mean), it's all good.
A little more about my VPC/Tumblr persona: Though I am not particularly trusting of those I don't know well (regardless of affiliation), that won't stop me from talking to them and listening to what they have to say. (In fact, it only helps me to get a better bearing of who they are and what threats they might pose. Simple really.) I value all life, even my enemy's, and if I have to hurt someone I would probably be very apologetic about it. However, duty comes first. (Here lies the line between humorous and chilling.) I have pledged my life to the service of Sloth, and whatever my orders may be, I will carry them out to the utmost best of my ability. (Thankfully this usually pertains to Physics experiments, but you never know.) Nevertheless, I will not kill unless it is absolutely necessary. No life is insignificant. No individual is unimportant. My past experiences in realising Neopia was corrupt have only strengthened my belief that it is impossible to truly know anything.
(Fun fact: I am an ovo-vegetarian, and I haven't eaten dairy for years. At one point it was implied that I had been in Resistance custody overnight, and the reason they let me go was because they hadn't believed me when I said I was "probably lactose intolerant by now".) (Wait, did I just make a fart joke?)

Ooh, sounds fun. :3 I wouldn't mind being a character, no particular preference as to what I end up doing. I'd offer my artist skillz, but I've got a lot of stuff to art already, so that's probably not the best idea. XD; Where there is a PFA, there is a Torkie also. :Y *Thumbs up* My preference is that my character be with PFA's character. Whoo.

Okay, realistic character name... How's about Sandy Porter? Yeah, let's go with that Also, you're welcome to use my character however you see fit, but I actually have a request regarding my/her abilities, so to speak. I dunno just how much magical power the characters are going to have, but if it would fit, could my character please have a bit of shapeshifting ability? (Just becoming one animal - preferably some sort of dog, bird or wild cat - would be fine)

Just a note: everyone who's posted here so far will be/has been turned into a character, and we're going to try our very, very best to work you all into the story in some capacity, big or small. If you haven't posted yet but would still like to appear as a character, you are welcome to volunteer still, and again we will try our best to get you in-- but with less certainty, as there are only so many spots for characters and all that.
We still need, and would love, more artists. If you have even MILD ART SKILLS, volunteer as tribute today. 8D
Also, everyone who hasn't yet responded to the PM asking for a "regular" character name has been given names by us. Hopefully none of them are too mortally offensive. XD If you strongly object to what name you've been given (you can find that info in the character list on the story thread, which I'm updated momentarily), just let us know and we can probably still change it at this point.

Aw, man, I'm super late on this because of how my internet died. D: Well, I know it isn't certain and you probably only have like, mentioned-once-ever character slots anymore, but I'd love to be in the story if I could.
I'd rather not be a villain, but I wouldn't mind being an antagonist if you need me to (I know that sounds confusing, but like, I don't want to be an evil dark magic user, but I wouldn't mind being the annoying person who insists that the main characters attend a cake-tasting party when they're really in a hurry to save the world, or whatever.) Of course, I would prefer being one of the good guys, but just saying, whatever works. XD
I'm guessing 'Ginz' doesn't count as a real life name, so you can use Imogen for me, like on my username.
Aside from that, I'd like to sign up as a general artist, cause that sounds fun. ^_^ Thanks!

I know I'm probably super late on this as well, but I'd love to be a character of any kind if you still have somewhere to fit me in. Terra's probably close enough to a real name to work, right?
