Hey everyone!
So I want to start a fairly open, loose RPG where people can introduce some story lines and such in a linear manner. It helps if you're an experienced forum RPer but everyone is welcome and will be treated equally in the story. Everyone will get a chance to contribute to the milk and cookies incident and introduction of stories can happen in a flowing, build up manner. Since I don't have any direct stories in mind, here is the basic premise:
Setting: DMFA Universe (With loose constraints on race)
Starting point: A Coffee house called "The Milk and Cookies Cafe"
RPG style: book style (writing out actions and dialog as if you were reading a book.)
Rating: PG-13
Starting story snippet:
You find yourself wandering around a small, provincial town. There's only one post office, one bank, one department store, and a hand full of mom and pop eateries. Everyone knows each other, and you find yourself as the only stranger in town. You've tried to leave a few times but it seems your timing on this day is just off. You miss the last train out, all the buses speed away just as you reach the bus stops, and the only taxi in town pretends not to see your waving paw as he zooms past you. Discouraged, you look for a place to rest your weary mind. In your wandering you find a somewhat trendy (for the setting anyway) cafe called "The Milk and Cookies Cafe" When you open the door you find that the people with in are not like others walking around town. You smile and wait to be seated...

So please post your ideas, interest, and etc here. As soon as we have at least 5 regular players to start, I'll create an IC topic.
could be fun. i am many dimension hopping characters so it not odd to find myself in a new place with no ideal as the to social structure.
Heehee yeah, I don't have the attention span to create something set in stone at the moment, and who needs a GM barking every single second about what'll happen next. Anyways, we get 3 more peoples we can start an IC topic. start thinking of random stories you'd like to fulfill ^^

Well I think I'll have just a little bit of the peril :P
Art thou interested in zee RPG fine sir?
I think I would be interested in playing.
Just out of curiosity, do you have some kind of 'starting-plot', which then is expanded by the players set up? Or is it more loose? On one hand, I can see where the added freedom can be a good thing with some creative players, but on the other hand, it might get quite chaotic if things get a little too free, so to speak.

Yeah I've seen that happen on both sides of the fence. I was thinking of having it be more free, but i will have some starting parameters. I just don't feel like playing a billion NPC's and the like. I was hoping to keep the planning thread open so we could plan things and stuff as the story progresses. and if anyone wants to have some surprises or something, to discuss things with me in PMs or something.
Huh. I'm interested. >:3 And to show how interested I am, I'll bring out a character I've never used before. This is a DMFA-ified version of my original character.
C Name: Jamenaratu "Jamen" Matekythe
Age: Fairly young for a Demon (34)
Race(s): Ring-Tailed Lemur Demon
Occupation: Formerly worked at a crematorium; is now hunting for a new job and is open to freelancing assignments.
Other Notes: Jamen goes into an uncontrollable state at the sight of fire and is a pyromaniac. Otherwise, he seems ostensibly sane; a refreshing juxtaposition to the average Demon. However, he is not totally disinclined to resort to the same provocative tactics as other Demons, although it is more reflexive than motivated by malice.
Appearance: Jamen is unusual as far as lemurs go; he lacks the characteristic bands on his very long tail and is a bright red. Jamenaratu lacks any bizarre or distinguishing markings on his pelt, but that does not prevent him from being immediately recognizable. Jamen is oddly handsome even with his feminine androgyny, with almond-shaped, bright eyes and an almost roguish, fang-toothed grin coloring his well-crafted features. Either from a bizarre genetic quirk or his hybrid heritage, Jamen's ears are much longer than the average lemur's and differently shaped, tilted at an unusual angle and tapering. Small lines of barbed spikes trail up Jamen's ears, while two larger spikes curve from his scalp from amidst the windswept mess of his hair in the form of a pair of bone-white horns.
More of those specimens of tiny spikes are found between Jamen's shoulder-blades in a perfectly-aligned triad. His wings are diminutive and leathery, too small to fly, or create any substantial currents, and their top joints barbed with miniscule, clawed spikes. However, he can enlarge the wings so he can achieve flight. Jamen's tail is about as long as his body, excluding his legs, and largely fluffy and serpentine in structure. He always wears a glove or some sort of arm-warmer on his right claw to hide the mutilation caused by contact with a flame. His choice of attire often consists of a vest over a t-shirt and a loosely bound tie, ending with long dress pants held around his waist by a belt. His most consistent accessory is the very old and dusty lighter looped on a chain around his neck.
Hooray, that's 5 including me (or you know...give or take one or two of you its ok for now)
I'll just post my character's info too so people get an idea of what I'll be playing (note, she's have my username BUT the RP me and the real me are very different so yeah xD you shall not see my character outside this form in a posting sense)
C Name: Roya Redwing
Age: 25
Race(s): Were Cardinal
Occupation: She is currently on a spirit quest. Since she is predisposed to fire magic, the elders of her flock sent her out to learn the other elemental magics and find herself if she is ever to take her place as one of the flock's Shaman.
Other Notes: Like the typical were, Roya is incredibly secretive about her true nature. She fools the average being into thinking she is in fact one of the phoenix oracles, or perhaps a terrifying Succubus with her false hair-wings. She is deathly afraid of Cat, snake, and raptor/bird furs but she tries her best not to prejudge people based on their outward appearance. She also gets rather angry when people confuse her for a MALE cardinal, as she is one of the rare few females to have red and black feathers.
Appearance: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1633129/
If anyone wants to share potential stories and the link, please post them here so we can work through them a little before posting in the IC topic. In the Meantime, I'll start the IC topic later on today.

...oops. XD Um, I'll fix that right away. The problem behind that was that I was writing the description while half-asleep and adjusting it from a copypasta'd version of Jamen's description and therefore missed a few aspects.

Well, currently, I'm juggling with two character ideas I have. Before I decide on which I play(and I still have to iron out the details, urrgh), what is the general tone of the RP going to be? Nice and Fluffy? Normal? Downright Nihilistic? Just a general idea would be nice. I want to make sure my character 'fits' in well.

It'll probably go from light and fluffy to - serious business but no, there will be none of that I hate everything stuff xD. I use RP to get away from that kind of stuff :P I was thinking, per the title being a little silly, that it be an adventure comedy, closer to DMFA than say Abel's Story.
Ok... here is my first attempt at a character. I'm fairly new to DMFA-setting RPs, so please point out any inconsistencies and/or problems should you find them. I know I'm not great with descriptions.. and is not extensively detailed. This character should be at least functional... I hope.
Name: Kassin Starshine
Race: Male Angel, Tiger
Age: 19
Occupation: Technically none, he is still legally supported by his parents, despite the frequent issues he has with the rest of his family.
Appearance data:
Height: 5'8
Eye Color: Yellow
Skin/Fur Color: Cyan with Orange stripes.
Hair Color: Blond
Wing color: Feathery white.
Additional Appearance Notes:
Kassin looks like a typical tiger based being, the only exceptions being his white feathery wings, and his psychodelic coloration. Most of his face is blue colored, though he does have orange stripes on the tops of his ears and beneath his eyes. His tail is four feet long, with bright orange and blue stripes lacing it.
Kassin, despite the wings on his back, generally makes sure that his Torso is covered by clothing. He prefers to wear brightly colored outfits, usually a yellow shirt, blue pants, and black shoes. His attire may vary depending on his setting.
Personality/Background info:
Kassin is a kind and caring angel. Unlike typical angels, and a stark contrast to the rest of his immediate family, he doesn't care for manipulating others for his personal gain. He also does not view beings and other less-magical species as inferiors. Outgoing, charming, and quick to offer aid, he makes friends easily, assuming he isn't being chased or suffering the effects of other angels' bad reputation.
His biggest sore spot is with his family, in particular his older siblings, Yavvir(brother) and Crystal(sister). Both of them share the more typical angel mindset of power over all else, and he often gets into fights with both of them. This is usually due to him interfering with their schemes to manipulate others, and usually it ends with them venting their frustration at Kassin via offensive light magic and fists. Due to his frequent sibling fighting, he usually spends most of his time away from home, and in areas populated by beings. He feels more kinship to his being friends than he does his family.
Abilities:
Kassin is naturally proficient with light magic, though his full abilities are yet to develop. He is a competant healer, adept at healing wounds, curing illnesses, and intoxication. He is also capable of. Aside from his magical abilities, Kassin is surprisingly proficient at using technology for an Angel, largely due to his extended amount of time spent around beings. He also possesses a quick wit, a charming face, and quick reflexes when things go wrong. He can't use his wings to fly, but he can use them to glide, or to help himself jump high.
Please let me know if this is acceptable, or if there are any issues.
Sounds good to me, with all these kitties around, things should get interesting for my poor bird brain. xD
Potential interest, but I need to think up of a character idea or two.
Wondering though, what's the "tone" of this RP? Light and fluffy? Dark and edgy? If I make a disturbed, compulsive kleptomaniac, would he be out of place here?

As I said before, its more towards the light and fluffy end of the spectrum, more like a comedy that can get serious at times...if you know anime, think "Slayers" xD or Ranma :P But I think a klepto could be really freakin funny if done properly XD.
Character Bio info.
Name: Ordlen Felgier.
Race: Being/mink
Gender: Male
Occupation: Thief/confidence man (swindler)
Age: 27
Height: 5'2"
Eye color: Grey
Fur color: Dull brown
(Celephic) Hair) color black.
Weight: 116 lbs.
Other appearance notes. Ordlen has a perpetually tight, alert bearing, tending towards the hyperactive and paranoid. He tends to wear dull colored, tight fitting clothing, with no pockets, tending towards sealed pouches to hold his stuff. He is at home walking on all fours as he is upright, and his garb reflects this, with no hanging jewelry or the like. Tends towards wearing cheap clothes. He has a three foot long, hairless, dull pink prehensile tail, which he usually keeps in a kind of mud brown "sleeve".
Personality: Thrill seeking, adventurous, high strung, risk taker, easily panicked. Ordlen is a compulsive kleptomaniac, more out of a sense of thrill seeking than of actual covetousness. In fact, he tends to forget about items that he steals after he gets them, preferring instead to concentrate on his next "conquest". He detests violence, not so much bloodshed, but of the sort of rolling around in the dirt kicking someone's face in. He prefers not to struggle through problems, preferring even failure to having to scrabble for success. He likes his successes to be crisp and clean.
Abilities: Ordlen is extremely agile, has good senses, and is very stealthy. He's really quick with his hands, and is an expert at cheating at three card Monte. He can handle a knife with some skill, and is good at sneaking around and hiding. His reflexes are good, and he's very quick on his mental feet. He is good at getting people to think with their emotions instead of their heads, at least long enough to buy whatever thing he fenced.
History: Ordlen was born in the second litter (of fifteen) that his parents had. As one can imagine in a family of almost thirty individuals, Ordlen tended to get lost in the shuffle, generally being ignored unless he did exceptionally well or bad at something to really attract all eyes upon him. He developed a kind of inferiority complex, with an "I'll show them" type attitude. Since he couldn't attract attention, he would punish others for not paying attention to him, often in the form of silently making off with their valuables. Over time, the thrill of the illicit overwhelmed his antipathy, and by his late teens, instead of going off to college, he made his way into the world, and determined to have as many laughs as he possibly could. He soon found that his quick hands and quicker wits could support him quite well, even if he didn't have what could be considered a normal vocational set of skills, at least as long as he didn't spend too much time in any one place. He's never really formed a close friend, and views the idea of friendship with a kind of skeptical awe. (Gee, it would be nice, but I don't know if it's possible......), and has spent the past nine years from score to score, generally one step ahead of the authorities, who generally suspected him of things, but would have trouble amassing proof. He stepped into the café looking for a quick mark........
Possessions: a sharp butterfly knife, with a reasonable balance. Two weeks worth of clothing, a small apartment in town with the Café of Milk and cookies is in (I'll change it when I get a name to work with) some money, a few rings, semi-precious gems, identification information as mementos of significant hauls.
Please Pm me if there is a problem with the Bio or you have comments.
Sounds great to me ^^ Yay for uncommon species! :3
I think I might recycle a character from a dead RP...
C Name: Bryden Tyridan
Age: 20
Race: 1/2 Fox Angel, 1/2 Fox Being
Occupation: Graduate Student
Appearance: Bry has very deep, vibrant grey fur with a dark black frontside. His wings are the opposite in patterning, black primary with grey secondary. He has chocolate brown 'socks' extending from hand/foot paws all the way to the knees and elbows, as well as ears of the same color. His head fur/hair is greyish white and his eyes are a bright, intense violet which glow in the dark. Bry generally wears any clothing that is gender appropriate from business suits to t-shirts and jeans. He is commonly seen wearing an average pair of black slacks, a purple button up collared shirt, and a black, light jacket.
Other Appearance Notes: He stands about 1.83 meters (~6ft) and is slightly below average in build. He possesses about a 12-foot wingspan from tip to tip when fully extended. His fur was magically dyed gray and his hair white, he is naturally a very bright orange of fur (the color of an orange flavored tic-tac) and strongly blond (a bright lemon yellow), because he is incensed by bright and gaudy colors.
Character Notes: He is a current college student working towards a Ph.D. in Biological Anthropology. His parents are especially well to do and are paying Bry's way through university. They are also providing a furnished flat in the town where the cafe is located and a top-line car. He also has a sizeable expense account.
Ability Notes: A naturally quick, reasonably strong creature with excellent senses (due to the Angel half), he has a reasonable amount of College Fencing (to satisfy general education requirements for physical education) and self-defense classes from childhood. His Angel powers provide him with Light Oriented magic, enhanced senses, and winged flight.
Edit: fixing a spelling problem
And the list of people Roya will fear grows, which is actually really good for her character since that's one of her goals: to overcome her fear of non tweet-bird anthros :3
I forgot to mention this, but Jamen's horns and wings are being hidden by an amulet hooked onto his tie.
I wish I could find that image of Billie Joe Armstrong that inspired his clothing design. It's disappeared off the face of Google.
C Name: Eric Volment
Age: seems to be mid to late 20's
Race(s): masquerades as a being and a human fan but really no one knows.
Occupation: dimensional travel. Eric has been many places and in his travels has learned how to blend in in virtually any population. hive minds aside he is usually able to pick up the language and cultures do's and dont's or at least the majors on ins mere hours. minutes if he has access to a computer system and they have google.
(may need to edit for appearance)
I had been looking into a new RP, get rolling with a second one, a new one sounds good ;p
C Name: Walter
Age: 30
Race(s): Arctic Wolf / Being
Occupation: SCIENCE!
There is not too much to know about Walter. He has a freakish understanding of technology, some even accuse him of being born with this knowledge. He tried university, but quickly got in trouble for making a death ray out of just about everything he set his hands on.
Currently he seeks adventure, going to strange lands, listening to the local's problems, then blowing them up with his latest death ray. What is meant by 'them' is open to interpretation, and regardless of your interpretations you are probably right. He shoots first, then shoots again for good measure.
If the description above did not give it away, Walter likes his death rays. Many say that is all he is good at, which is entirely unfair. Walter makes a great many things, though the death rays are definitely what is he is known for. Though there was that one time he made a robot army, though that did not last long.
There is a lot more to Walter, perhaps he shall share, if you survive long enough.
Edit: Spell check
All very good guys. I figure we should implement a starting plot. I was thinking some kind of event to trigger a grand quest. Maybe a magical assault from an unknown sender, or some overlord needing a rag tag group of misfits to complete a task. Something light and comedic will do. Please share your potential staring plots ^^.
I vote for the Overlord needing someone to fetch his slippers.

Please share your potential staring plots ^^.
Truth be told, I thought you had some kind of starter-event prepared, and players would take it from there. If not, I guess I can come up with some ideas, and can share the ones that first come to mind.
Normally, before I start off a plot-line (I'm actually DMing a Dungeons and Dragons group at college this year, but I'm still new to the experience), I usually make all of the backing beforehand, plot, NPCs, and the most likely venues that the players may go for. Obviously, it's impossible to determine all possible routes and sometimes, the DM has to make up things as they come if they get caught completely off guard. That or they put the players down an entirely linear and one-choice plot-path, but that has no charm to it.
Off the top of my head, I can think of a few things that may start the characters down some avenue, and some of the complications. For one, none of the players know each other, or have any reason to trust one another, so that can interfere with them going anywhere together unless something happens, we're just a bunch of people who happened to meet in a cafe. Furthermore, I don't see how we could go on an escapade together, it's conceivable that our characters can handle some danger but I have to wonder what kind of force would have to be applied to make them band together (or possibly separately) to go along said plot-line.
As for possible plot-lines, who knows? A run in with an underground soul-trading ring? (And I'm going on the perfectly reasonable assumption that that trade is
highly illegal.) Something involving poisoned food? (Like if Kassin got Belladonna tea instead of herbal tea, perish the thought..), or maybe some creature-based conspiracy wants to take over whatever place we happen to be in? To be perfectly honest, I honestly don't have a clue as to how to start. I would have to spend some time going through my aforementioned process of fleshing everything out before actually releasing it, I certainly wouldn't want to release a broken plot-path with several holes and a bad break-point. I guess if we had suggestions and wanted to delve into specifics without spoiling secrets, we could discuss via PM or other means of communication.
Yeah normally I do the honorable thing and play NPC's and whatnots, I've just had things get too character reliant and of course the one player who becomes one of the many key players end up dropping out and the RP falls apart. I do have a start in mind but it's kinda been done to death, so I'm hoping others might want to try some story lines they might want to play with, or something.
Well, I suppose that's true, though RPs generally need a little kick to get going, otherwise all the firewood built has nothing to spark it. In other words, someone has to start it, and if you have a start in mind... go for it.
The way I see this working, is that instead of a normal RP where the DM hat is glued to one person's head, it gets passed around as story lines get good break-points. What this would do, is one, keep the stories cycling, and while one is actively playing the DM role, another, or more would be coming up with their plots and would then take the DM hat once the current DM is ready to pass it on, and of course, with enough members, I'm sure that the plots can cycle frequently making sure that one DM doesn't have his head explode trying to press his/her creativity. Obviously, some may not choose to take the hat, and that's fine, I wouldn't want to force anyone to create a plot line and have the whole game suffer for it, but I think this could work well if the DMship gets passed around. Granted, these plots may not intermix unless the players co-ordinate beforehand, but that can be done. Obviously, when specific mini-plots are nearing completion, the DM would say so so that a player might be ready to continue with another story line.
(Though if you do adopt this, you may want to keep an active update on who has the hat at any given time.)
What I don't want to do is just have an NPC walking in and doing stuff without permission, such a thing would get too chaotic quite quickly. I know the first steps are the hardest to take, but someone has to do it. If you don't think you can, I guess I could 'take the hat'. If need be, I may be able to have something set up in my mind by the time I'm finished poisoning myself half to death at Gracie's. :) (Thats my dining hall's name)
EDIT: The biggest quirk here is to give the players some form of identity with each other. Right now they are just some characters who came into a cafe, nothing more really. They don't have any reason to interact with each other, barring something thats horribly stereotyped, or has plot holes.
Forgive my silliness, I always wanted to use Hotel California in a game somewheres.
Heehee its ok Azlan, there may be numerous Queen references in my futire posts. Ok people, Implementing lame but hopefully sufficient plot start up for you all to run with.
Character name: Saya (full name: Sayashina Lunera Celeste)
Race: Kitsune, 4 tails
Age: chronologically about 400 years. physically and mentally comparable to someone in their mid-teens
Gender: female
Occupation: Dimensional wanderer, elemental adept (water)
Character name: Vash (Full name: Valshimere Solestro Celeste)
Race: Kitsune, 4 tails
age: Chronologically about 400 years old. Physically and mentally comparable to someone in their mid-teens
Gender: male
Occupation: Dimensional wanderer, elemental adept (fire)
details: Saya and Vash inhabit the same body, as they have since birth. Though they are aware that they share a body, they have no contact between each other and no control over who occupies the body, which can change at any moment. This can lead to some embarrasing situations...
Saya is identifiable by her snow-white fur, as well as a icy blue crescent-moon mark on the back of her left hand.
Vash is solid black with an orange diamond on the back of his left hand.
Anything I need to do, or can I just jump right in?
Just jump on in, but be sure to read everything as the plot has been introduced xD
No contact? Not even leaving each other notes in their pocket?

Huh, whazza what? :<
I forget what movie he's referring to (at least originally, a lot of people have adopted this gimmick since then) but there's a movie where you have a character with disscociative disorder, and the personalities aren't directly aware of each other. They communicate by writing notes and leavingt them in her pocked for the other personality to find and read.
Ohhh i see. Gottacha :3
I wasn't referring to a movie - if anything, probably a story I might have read years ago...
But yes, that's the idea.
Never really occurred to them (or me, for that matter). They usually let someone around fill them in on what happened.
this should be fun, though I'm not sure if I'll join, here is my info:
Name: Kipiru Starrider
Race: Unicorn/Demon
Age: 270(that's young for a demon-about 23 human years)
Skin(fur): white
Hair(mane): ember
eyes: blue
occupation: wandering warrior
Further description: He is 7 feet tall, dressed in a leather overcoat(dark blue) and carrying a large two-handed sword on his back. He has spectral wing he prefers to hide. He actually prefers to hide him being a demon at all. He is prety powerfull, but restrains himself from sowing it even in the most dire of situations. Can't be fooled by magic bariers or any other masking. Feels the streams of magic and life force around him but rarely speaks of it.
welcome to the party. we have fun and games
and chaos mages! :B
Hmm, part of me has realized I never named Kassin's home, nor have I asked about how far away it is and where I could go for it. Realistically that would be what Kassin would be after were he in a normal situation. Of course, I don't really have the world geography in mind, so of course, I could just pull some name out from the sky and create a setup so that it's thousands of miles away or the travel path is extremely dangerous, or something like that. As long as there is some excuse to keep the possibility unrealistic to him, that would be fine.
Edit: what I really don't want to do is start making things up in world geography that might cause problems later, aka I would prefer DM approval before doing something like creating his home.
run things by me here, and I'll say yay or nay :3
I have a plan for a character for here, but it'll take me a couple of weeks to free up the time to make the char sheet.
Just thought I'd mention it. I might not get around to bringing her in, but I'll see what I can do.

Its alright. WoW has taken over my life as of a few days ago. I won't stop til i get to 60 and get my epic mount before i start my new job XD. anyway if anyone was wondering, that's where I've been lol
sounds like an addition WoW filler (http://www.boomerexpress.com/d/20060208.html) but don't worry we understand

Hey Red, since we are now at a standstill can my char suggest a possible location to where we can start searching for the parts of the staff.

are they coming to take you away?
RP seems kinda slow. Did people lose interest? Or is it just that School's wrapping up for the semester and it's crunch time? Something else maybe?
I for one kind of lost interest. There was no real plot nor a reason for our characters to really interact. (Well, beyond the level of Ordlen stealing from you guys)
i was and still am waiting for and opening for it to grow. you'd be amazed at how big and fun an rp like this can get. characters lounge got to be a number of pages
Roya Redwing was last active on November 8, and hasn't been here to manage things for a while. Of course, since it's really her plot-line we're starting out with, her presence is kind of necessary to make things run. I don't really see this working without someone in charge, even if whomever that is in charge changes every so often. With the current setup though... there is no form of identity amongst the players, and no real solid lines to lead on. A bit of non-linearity is great, but having no continuity doesn't work very well.
I myself had a plot-line kind of worked out, but I don't want to do that without her permission. One issue is that we have already started on Roya's plotline, and assuming she isn't up for the DM hat, would make abandoning it somewhat difficult, since some of the characters have already decided they want to go along with it, while other characters have viewed the whole thing with more skepticism. Of course, I guess we could always learn the lesson from this comic (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_189.php) and if she wants someone else to start this up, could declare all events taken since after and including reply #11 null and void, or have something else happen while the group is still trying to decide on things. Of course, we still need Roya's permission to do any of this, it is her RP after all, and it's definitely bad manners to just waltz in and take over.
Regardless, I don't really think there is a feasible solution to inactivity, and I don't see this RP going over well without some form of administrator keeping things in some kind of loose order. As it stands, I don't see this progressing, since we would either need Roya's present to handle her plotline, or her permission to start a new one. I would be willing to give this a go if this can be pulled off, as it would be dreadfully impolite to hijack her RP right under her nose, while she isn't around to see it no less.
yeah we do need some kind of administer and i'm not up for the task. i'll help keep things moving but that's all i do. building an story line is hard when trying to predict / allow for a dozen different points of view.
I'm interested, in theory, but my DM style I think might be considered abraisive to most. Plus I don't want Roya getting mad at me if I hijacked her Rp line
The only things we can really do is either wait for Roya to come back, or otherwise contact her. She doesn't have any contact information on her profile though, but there may be something on her Mushian site, but that's not likely, as I'm not sure how artists feel about having their e-mail accounts filled with spam. Regardless, contacting her(with a reminder to come back or a request to pass the DM hat, I believe I had a post on this somewhere in the thread) and/or waiting for her to come back seem like the only ways to keep this RP running.
You could try sending her a PM. That'll likely email her registered account...

Unless she unchecked that option.

Let me rephrase.
Remembering who you're talking to... if you send her a PM, it'll email her. ;-]
Edit:
I didn't change that, btw. I just went and looked.
yeah a pm could work. she may have lost her password for the forums as well.
... In which case, point her at the IRC, and get her to talk to me, and I'll sort it out. Although she can always re-request a new password, which will be emailed to the account the PM will go to, in precisely the same fashion...
Roya's back. so will this game continue or die?
I'm here and ready to continue as soon as there is something to continue. We really don't have much direction at the moment.
It really depends on whether she has the time and energy to devote towards managing this RP. From the post she made, I think she is having too tough of a time to effectively do so. I would be willing to pick this back up if that happens, but, I do not think it's likely.
