Hello there! I was looking at your rp and it looks really interesting. I'm debating on which muse I want to apply with here and I think I know which one I would like but I wanted to check with how you would feel about her and if I should change her somewhat.

The muse I want to play is from Stephenie Meyer's The Host if you've heard of it. Its basically about a woman who's body is inhabited by a foreign species that have named themselves souls, a rough translation of what they are. The body, that still retains the mind of the original woman, is Melanie Stryder, and the soul is Wanderer, or Wanda for short.

I was wondering if I would app them as one person and how that would work, or if I should app them separately since they do split at the end of the book and each have their own bodies. I don't mind how you want me to do this, but I thought I should run it by you guys first. Thanks!

~Angel

Thanks for your question! It's perfectly acceptable to have two people within the same body. You can submit one application for them, and they'll be counted as a single character when we determine character limits. What you would need to do on your application is to make sure you write down what each of their personalities is like, and if they have any different abilities while a different personality is in control. It's also a good idea to include both their separate histories, if they have one.

As a side-note, actual aliens won't fit well into the game setting. But since the game is AU, if you want to make these souls something other than aliens - or even just say they have mysterious origins - that would be a good alternative.

(Er, assuming they're aliens at all - this particular mod hasn't read those books. If they're not, please disregard that last bit.)

Thanks very much! Because most of the book is them as one, only the last chapter or so is them separate, and I wasn't really sure how I would manage that. But I think the mysterious origins would fit nicely, if you don't mine. But technically Wanda is actually an alien, so this helps explain it better.

Hey there! Been reading and becoming increasingly interested...I do have a couple things that need clarification, however.

First, and pardon if this is a rather ignorant question, but I'd just want to be certain I understand this so I don't accidentally do it, exactly what is 'sitting'? You mention it in your second rule, and it isn't a term I've come across.

Second, you say that captains are positions given only to people who hold a high position within the game and have extra knowledge. Does this also apply to the first mates, and if so, is it impossible for a regular player to obtain said position?

We mean 'sitting on the character' in the sense that the player only plays that character enough to keep them from being kicked for inactivity, and no more. It isn't very pleasant to play with. ):

First mates are like regular positions; all you need is the captain's approval. :D

Hi there, I'm never one to assume so I just had a few questions for you guys. In any case, I put down a reserve for Edward Elric from the Full Metal Alchemist series. I was interested in putting him onto the Military ship but possibly under a different position. In very rare cases ( and this one especially so due to Edwards age ) he is not really military type - much like in the manga series. Would it be possible to work out something of a cilivian/military position almost like you see in the series itself? Edward could have a official rank, but the government assigns where he works for periods of time ( ... )

Oh, of course |D Regular civillians are allowed on the ships as passengers, after all, so it's not a stretch to say that that there could be something along the lines of the State Alchemists in the Ivona military.

And yeah |D We pretty much came up with magitech while thinking of FMA's alchemy, so.

You guys freaking rock. Working on my application now ( though I saw a couple of other folks apping FMA characters ). I guess we'll tweak as things go on. *gets to writing*

Yeah, it'd probably be a good idea to get everything worked out |D;; Glad to see you're thinking of sticking Ed on the Victoria II because I am biased and it would be hilarious.

I have AIM so only buddies know if I'm online. Will this be a problem?

Nope, that's no problem at all! The ooc community is also there if you need to get in contact with other players or if they need to get in contact with you.

Hello! I'm apping Fubuki from Yugioh GX and I have kind of an... interesting issue. Fubuki pretty much has split personalities, himself and Darkness, and Darkness as I've rewrote him was a pirate. (The switch is caused by a mask he puts on, and he wears it all the time as Darkness) He'll start out in the RP as Darkness but revert to Fubuki pretty quick (this'll all happen in a log with my friend Osaka-mun) and I'll be playing him as just plain Fubuki, on the Victoria II, for probably a good while. BUT, down the road I'm thinking I might do a plot where he reverts to being Darkness and switches sides for some amount of time ( ... )

Sorry, but we think it would be too confusing to other players to let you use two separate journals, split personality or not. If you're worried about which personality is making posts, you could simply mark it in the subject line and still assume that they're using separate journals ICly.

Sorry about this!
