Um, I'm interested in this but new to PbP. Do I post here to show interest, or...? Sorry if this is covered somewhere, but I couldn't find it on my cursory look for PbP etiquette.
Yes, then you make your character and intro page and post them for approval.
I'm more than ready for this, ill get making the char now and put it up when i get home from work tonight.
Also to make getting as many people comfortably in as possible would any of the other applicants like to work out aspects and classes before anyone gets elbow deep in a character and realizes 5 other people want the same combination.

You would start this up right as I'm about to go on vacation for a week. If the thread hasn't been absolutely swamped, I should have a character up a day or two after I get back.
As for aspect/class, I'm thinking about a Something of Rage (not a bard, that's for sure).

If you use a blood-based McGuffin in a campaign with a vampire PC, plan for what will happen when said PC sticks it in his mouth.
I was kinda wondering about how classes and aspects were being determined, but if we get to choose I'd rather like Seer, if no-one else has any attachment to it. Edit: I'm not really bothered too much about aspects, though Time would be rather nice if no-one else especially wants it.
Info Page:
Your name is RAIN LUNEMN. You really wish people would SHUT UP ABOUT IT. You happen to think it is a rather nice name, or would be if it were not inevitably commented on. Your chumhandle is gamesArcana, about as banal as a name can be in a system which disallows duplicates. You chose it in a fit of rebelliousness and dissatisfaction of being asked about your real name, and look on it with a MEASURE OF REGRET.
You have a great fondness for TAROT CARDS, and think it would be really neat if they ACTUALLY DID ANYTHING. They don't, of course, and you consider anyone who thinks otherwise to be RATHER SILLY. You have take a small interest in other psuedo-occult pursuits, but these do not enthuse you so much as they serve to enhance your appreciation for the tarot.
You are a great fan of TABLETOP GAMING, and you like to think that you are a FANTASTICALLY VISIONARY DESIGNER of such. This claim would ring more true if you HAD EVER FINISHED A PROJECT, but this hardly crosses your mind. As it is, you have heaps of paper covered in notes. Mountains of paper. TOWERING FORTRESSES of paper, even. One might even say you have ALL THE PAPER. ALL OF IT. It would probably be more organised if you had not accidentally assigned one of your many portfolios to your STRIFE PORTFOLIO, creating the FOLIOKIND STRIFE SPECIBUS. You never actually have an opportunity to fight, making it EVEN MORE USELESS THAN IT ALREADY WAS. If that moment of genius started the decline into chaos, deciding that firing clouds of paper from your TAROT FETCH MODUS was a brilliant way of keeping the cat out of your room was the point of no return. You have given up on fixing any of this and continued to write down your many, many ideas on ANY SCRAP OF WHITE PAPER YOU CAN FIND.
You have tried playing videogames, but NEVER REALLY GOT INTO THEM; though your friends have been bugging you about some new thing which sounds kind of cool (though you're really waiting for a tabletop conversion). Turn-based games seemed to you to be running entirely too fast for comfort, and you play them only to get your pulse going. It is about the only thing you can do to that effect since an ill-advised first-time LARP experience - you don't hang out with those friends anymore. Your knee will, to say the least, never be the same again. But that's okay. You're rather fond of the change of pace (and the SNAZZY CANE you get to use). More-or-less everything, in your opinion, should SLOW THE HECK DOWN. It's not the end of the world or anything.
Your relationship with your somewhat-beloved MUM is RATHER STRAINED. You get the feeling that she would like to see more of you, and don't really understand why she couldn't JUST SAY SO. That you feel the same way and have spoken nary a word of it never seems to come up in your HOPELESSLY OVERDRAMATIC INTERNAL MONOLOGUES. Which are obviously perfectly rational. You have no idea why anyone would suggest otherwise. Which makes it just as well that no-one does, you suppose.
You typpe in a... somewhat awkward manner? YYou have aa bad habit of doubling letters, which onlly ggets worrse wheen yyou'ree uppsset!!!! But itt's no big deall, and never seems to happen to puunctuation or wherre it would rreally affect the meaningg of a word. Howw odd.
Important items:
Aforementioned snazzy cane, which helps you to walk a little but mostly just looks cool.
A couple of rather worn portfolios, which probably looked better before you decided to test your new specibus "just in case".
Sweet jegus so much loose paper.
A few Tarot decks, including the old Rider-Waite that got you into the hobby.
A laptop, known - not far and wide, but known nonetheless - for going at a pace you are comfortable with. Most would not consider this a good thing, nor an example of good computer maintanence.

Class and aspects will be determined on a first come First serve Basis or maybe something more democratic if you can figure it out. The Seer of Time sounds like a sensible combination.

Maybe a prince or a knight? But, yeah, we'll probably wait for you.
I'm thinking a small, unwieldy (-1) melee weapon - total grist cost of 0 - for a starting one. Small melee as a general guideline for portfolios used as weapons (though more powerful ones might be better than that, naturally).
Tentatively taking Foresight for my unused Edge, unless someone would like Seer more than me, and assuming that it's an unassuming enough power to be reasonable to take before entering the Medium.
*shrugs* Right now I'm considering a Knight of Life.
Sounds awesome.

So that thread with a helpful list of some of the things to know for rules and character creation and what not . . . The Savage Worlds Test Drive Rules PDF thing is a broken link.
So I'm not sure what exactly I'm missing out on as I think up a character and work out this character sheet . . . That I apparently can't edit while it's still a file. Who'd have ever guessed I'd actually need a printer at some point in my life?
But yeah. I'll definitely go with Knight of Life. A regenerating tank sounds cool . . . Plus being honest, from the way I'm understanding things it's one of the only Class/Aspect combos that I liked.
I also considered a Prince of Rage just so I could wreck **** . . . But I don't like ALWAYS ANGRY ALL THE TIME characters.

For a character sheet you should use the what Scionofthevoid used. I bet if you google the test drive rules you can find them.

I'm super-interested! Though I have no knowledge of the system. If that is no impediment, then I will begin working on a character right away.
I will play whatever is needed. Basically whatever other people don't want to play and we need! I'm just glad to be able to jump into something like this.
I suppose this means that unless anyone else really wants it, I will play a Hero of Space.
Also, I found this link to the Test Drive rules. Are these accurate?
Finally, since the trend has been set, is anyone opposed to all our characters having 4-letter, single-syllable names to match the humans in Homestuck as well as Rain, our (currently) only finished character?

Your name is ARIC STIRGE. Your family made a name for themselves years ago making BIZARRE TECHNOLOGY and selling it for MILLIONS OF MONEY. As the sole HEIR to their fortune, you've inherited everything: the CASH, the ESTATE, and even the trusty family butler SIR. He's your guardian and only real friend you have in REAL LIFE after your parents' MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE several years ago, but you're sure they were ALIENS anyway, given how many STRANGE DEVICES litter your house. SIR takes good care of you and makes you food, so you can't complain even if he is a bit quiet.
Speaking of ALIENS, you have an UNHEALTHY FASCINATION with the STARS AND BEYOND. You spend a good deal of your time starring into SPACE and pondering the vastness thereof. On a whim you decide to unfurl your TRUSTY SPYGLASS from your CONSTELLATION FETCH MODUS. It's a bit time consuming tracing a BEAUTIFUL STAR PATTERN whenever you need anything, but it keeps your skills sharp. After a bit of STARGAZING you allocate it to your TELESCOPEKIND STRIFE SPECIBI, should SIR fancy a sporting duel.
Despite you love of the STARS AND BEYOND, you do find time to maintain a LIVELY SOCIAL LIFE via the internet and engage in various forms of ROLEPLAY and COMPETITIVE GAMING. In fact, with your vast resources and BIZARRE COMPUTING DEVICES you've managed to make quite a name for yourself in the ONLINE GAMING COMMUNITY. There's been a recent buzz in your gaming circle about some hot new game called SBURB launching soon, so you bought a bunch of copies just because.
Your chumhandle iS pristineNebula and you emphaSize letteRS you, heh, have a haRd time Saying in Real life, heh. You alSo tend to chuckle to yourSelf, heh, at Random, heh, inteRvalS.
Items of note:
Your TRUSTY SPYGLASS, a worn bronze handheld telescope you found lying around
Your GAMER GOGGLES, orange tinted lenses to help with EYE STRAIN.
Your BIZARRE COMPUTING DEVICE, a green and purple laptop the size and shape of a shoebox with processing speeds in the MILLIONS.
Will have stats posted later. This took me too long to write. I opted to go with Heir of Space unless someone else wants to be the Space guy, then I'll go Thief of Doom.
Thief of Blood, eh? I have no idea what that means!

Based on the Blood Edges in SBURBage Worlds, it looks like Blood Heroes are fond of getting their hands bloody, so to speak. I think I can work with this...
ScionoftheVoid, I noticed (by my calculations) that you only seem to have 14 levels of skills when you can have up to 15.
Now...a work in progress.

Spoiler
Your name is KESS DODGER. You have a penchant for getting PLACES YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE. Your imagination tends to make up a lot of DANGEROUS CAPERS and THRILLING ESCAPADES that you would love to complete. In fact, you would be ON ONE RIGHT NOW if only you could get out of your LOCKED ROOM or fit through the BARRED WINDOW. Ever since you fit your TINY BODY through the window ROB had to put up those bars. In VENGEANCE you taught yourself a few TRICKS OF THE TRADE to deal with such obstacles. You figure if you're going to FOLLOW YOUR PARENT'S FOOTSTEPS it'd be best to know a few things. They didn't have time to pass anything on since they've been IN THE SLAMMER. You suppose that they didn't have a SAFECRACKER FETCH MODUS to refine their skills like you do. Of course, no amount of THIEVERY will help since ROB is waiting outside.
Rather than get too upset with your UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES, you calm yourself with some IRONING. A few passes over your FATHER'S HANDKERCHIEF helps soothe you. The HEAT. The STEAM. The SMELL OF CLOTH. You really do LOVE TO IRON. In fact, you always carry a trusty IRON in your IRONKIND STRIFE SPECIBUS just in case. Yours is no regular IRON, though. You ALTERED THE THING with a HIDDEN COMPARTMENT so you can sneak your THIEVES' TOOLS out of the house. ROB so generously gifted you these on your 13TH BIRTHDAY. You think of them as A REWARD for finally demonstrating your MASTER THIEVERY. Of course right now he's probably WAITING TO POUNCE. That CRAZY CAT will LIVE TO REGRET IT if he does.
It's just as well, though. Your SMALL STATURE gets you picked on at school, making you quite the LONER. This is aggravated further by your CONSTANT NOSEBLEEDS which tend to crop up at HORRIBLY INAPPROPRIATE TIMES. Kids these days. Someday you plan to GET BACK AT THEM. Until then, you hang out with ONLINE FRIENDS, many of whom you met through UNSAVORY MEANS. Despite your meeting conditions, they are still your PARTNERS-IN-CRIME, at least when they don't make your BLOOD BOIL. Sometimes you just DON'T GET ALONG with people. But no one else will listen to you talk about all your ESCAPADES, and in return they show you tons of COOL STUFF. A few of them mentioned this thing called SBURB that you decided to ABSCOND WITH from a PLACE YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE a few days ago. A good rush sometimes incites a nosebleed, so you had to clean the BLOOD up in your room before you could get to putting the disk in.
When you spend time on your SAFETOP or wear your NIGHTECH GOGGLES that you altered to have some COMPUTING FUNCTIONS in case it gets REALLY DARK, you feel at peace. >.> your chumhandle is noseySnatcher which you choose for the pure gumption of admitting your unique talents. your text is lowercase with proper end punctuation and pretty much no other kind. you tend to keep your emoticons standing up whenever possible use tildes to emphasize your ~anger~ and you always open and close with some shifty eyes just in case theyre watching. <.<
Items of note:
Your IRON which you use for all your STEAMING NEEDS (Medium Melee Weapon, Dangerous)
A set of THIEVES'S TOOLS you stole for your BIRTHDAY
Your FATHER'S HANDKERCHIEF, something you never leave home without.
Your SAFETOP, a variation of home computing that is incredibly unwieldy for anyone without the code
Your NIGHTECH GOGGLES, which you altered to have COMPUTING FUNCTION in case you're in a VERY DARK PLACE.
I'm not sure whether an Iron should be a medium (base 3 Grist) or small (base 2 Grist) weapon. Based on similar weapons in the Savage Worlds rules base, a medium weapon doesn't seem completely off. It is, however, certainly Dangerous (-4). Not sure how that would balance out, but Irons are big enough that a medium melee weapon wouldn't be too far off, I think.
Edit: Age is also, obviously, changeable to whatever we decide.

One question before i finalize the character, does sburbage worlds allow arcane backgrounds from the Core book.
Background (work in Progress)
Spoiler
Your name is Kait. No not Kaitlyn, just Kait. You have been known to have a FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC. Your chumhandle is operaticBalderdash. You are somewhat known for your FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC. You believe that anything worth doing is worth doing BIG!!!. You have even been acused of HAMMING IT UP on a few occasions mostly do to your FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC. You suppose that it all works out, what with you being the GREATEST ACTOR YOU KNOW.
Many people doubt your acting talents, as you have never been cast ted in any roles, but its not your fault you were HOME SCHOOLED, and the local school cant let you act if you dont go there. But the Director assures HE WOULD IF HE COULD. You know he was being sincere since your KEEN ACTING SKILLS allow you to tell such things.
Your Fetch Modi is the Pork Sylabus, in order to retrieve anything from it you must ask, DRAMATICALLY!!! As a result for your ENTHUSIASTIC PRACTICE of your acting skills few people other than your DEAR SISTER can stand to be anywhere near your voice for more than a week at a time. That doesn't bother you much, they will all be back when your a FAMOUS BROADWAY DIVA. You know you'll make it eventually as long as you have your TRUSTY ACTING SKILLS and your INTERNET FRIENDS, who fortunately cant hear you when you practice. You do battle with your STAGE LIGHT specious, many have learned to fear the glare of the lights upon there face, especially when you asked a friend to rig them up to put a little EXTRA HEAT on those you felt weren't ACTING HARD ENOUGH. Now some people might call these laser guns, but you feel that makes them sound far to dangerous for simple STAGE LIGHTS.
You like to let people KNOW YOU ARE THERE!!! but you have also been known to bring it down when appropriate to the scene. Admitedly you have been known to stumle ovr the lins whn in a rsh or strrsed but you try to keep that sort of dime store high school acting RIGHT WHERE IT BELONGS!!!
Items of not will depend on the answer to that Arcane Background question.

Well . . . Here are my stats. I'll come up with that intro thing by the end of the day. Have we decided how old we're going to be? (I'd personally prefer later teens to early teens, if we're going to be teenagers.)
Edges and Hindrances:
Code of Honor (Major Hindrance)
Loyal (Minor Hindrance)
Vengeful (Minor Hindrance)
Guardian Defense (Edge) (Knight)
Info/Intro (To be slowly built and if I'm lucky, won't be stupid.)
Spoiler
You are ADAM SAWYER.
You really enjoy STORIES. Especially the kind that deals with KNIGHTS, SAMURAI, and other NOBLE WARRIORS. You often times wish you could be JUST LIKE THEM. You hate how it's super hard to be a HERO. People just complain if you try to walk around with weapons. Or you get shot in the face by punks. It's not at all like in the books anymore.
You also love GAMES of all kinds because you almost always get to be the hero. Though some games let you be the villain, which is totally a guilty pleasure, you are very bad at it. It's just way too hard to be evil. Plus, people LIKE heroes and that means they become FAMOUS. Who wouldn't want that? Oddly enough, you do not like superheroes.
You have a totally awesome and cool collection of SWORDS. Short, long, curved, straight, broad, or narrow . . . If it's a sword you must have it. You love them so much that you naturally have the SWORD STRIFE SPECIBUS. You also have a set of ARMOR somewhere. You can't remember where though. It doesn't fit. What's the point of even having armor if you can't wear it?
You are also a TOTAL BRAWLER even though it often times gets you in TROUBLE. In fact, it totally got you HOME SCHOOLED. You hate that you got punished for PUNISHING BULLIES. You had to stop when they threatened to call the cops. They really didn't like you going to school anyways to KEEP THEM IN LINE. But that's ok. You have more time to learn how to fight like some kind of CHAMPION OF SWORDS.
You kind of HATE GUNS. You think they're the weapons of a COWARD. Though sometimes you think you might be able to FORGIVE if someone would just make a SWORDGUN. A gun that shoots swords sounds pretty sweet to you.
You have a close relationship with your MOM. Even if you sometimes wish she would STAY OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS. She really needs to stop being such a WORRY WART. Sometimes you simply can not fathom how she let you acquire so many weapons.
Your chumhandle is heroicBoosh. You try to make a good impression on others by typing properly. Usually. Heroes do not have bad grammar or punctuation. That's totally a rule you try to follow. You hope. You also have a bad habit of typing/shouting "Boosh!" whenever you think you've said or done something awesome or booshtastic.
Items of Note:
Your trusty longsword, BOOSH MASTER. It is your favorite sword. It's got a special display case and everything. With it you will always be booshtastic.
A BLACK AND GREY LAPTOP that you usually use for gaming. Sometimes you even remember to pester your friends on pesterchum.
Hopefully that wasn't laid on too thickly. Just a totes awesome guy that tries to be good and heroic. Even if he's technically in it for less than noble reasons like fame and fortune. (Which is why I took Code of Honor instead of Heroic as my Major Hindrance.)
So I guess he tries to APPEAR heroic more than he might actually try to BE heroic.
Spoiler
Opinion on the Others:
Rain: You think she's kind of boring. Probably because she does everything so slowly. I mean, honestly, who thinks turn based strategy games are too fast paced? Though you do like hearing about her ideas for tabletop games. Even if you both know she's never going to finish any of them.
Aric: You don't really get what he likes so much about the stars. But he's pretty good at gaming, so at least you have that in common. Plus it's kind of amusing to hear him go on and on about aliens.
Kess: Being a self admitted thief, you probably wouldn't have anything to do with her if you hadn't been told that she is a frequent victim of bullying. You occasionally try to convince her to not be a villain. She never listens. At least you can tolerate her when she isn't bragging about thievery.
Kait: Very much a matter of mood. When you're in high spirits, Kait can actually come off as a kind of amusing person. When you're not, well, she can be really annoying and you wish she'd just shut up. But you'd never actually tell her that. You shouldn't insult someone just for being overly dramatic. or
Sara: She's actually pretty nice. Plays with animals and whatnot. Probably the only one of your online friends you'd describe as a good person. Not that you think the others are evil. (Mostly.) It's just the easiest way to describe her. Although . . . Sometimes her shipping obsession can get a little unsettling.
Rock: You think this guy is beyond insane. Who in their right mind actually likes math? If it was in your power, you would definitely have him checked out by doctors. That aside, he's also the guy that made a laser cannon. That's pretty cool. You don't usually like projectile weapons but, c'mon, LASERS. / (Pew. Pew. Lasers!)
Rick: You feel as though you actually sort of get along with Rick. You both have a healthy respect for the ways of war. Especially when the subject is it's heroes. He can be a little overbearing at times, but that's when you like to talk about how much better swords are than guns. You hope trolling isn't villainous.
Kent: Of all your friends, you probably like Kent the least. His constant lying is more than a little annoying. Even though sometimes wish he was evil so you could punish him, in the end his lies are just too harmless. So, like Kait, you just don't have the heart to insult the crap out of him.
Matt: While he has a stick up his butt about pronunciation, he's usually ok. Sometimes you let him tell you stuff about food, and try to get your mom to copy it. He's mostly a gaming buddy.
Your name is SARA SPRING. For the longest time you have loved unicorns, SYLPHS, and other FAIRY TALE creatures. You do love your NORMAL ANIMAL FRIENDS that you meet FROLICKING in the forest that though. You frequently escape from your house in order to feed them DELICIOUS TREATS from your FLOWERPETAL FETCH MODUS. You also enjoy a wide variety of games and movies that the MAN bought you, but you would never let him know that. Recently you have been spending more time ONLINE pestering your friends or writing SHIPPING FANFICTION. Boy do you LOVE your SHIPS, especially RAINBOW DASH x FLUTTERSHY, they are just so CUTE together.
Though you have a PEACEFUL nature you find it frequently necessary to whip out your TRUSTY walking stick from your STICKIND STRIFE SPECIBUS so you can escape to your room when the MAN wants you to do pushups. Despite your conflicts you do manage to get along well with the MAN, like when he buys you COOKIES. You don't even have the HEART to tell him CHOCOLATE CHIP isn't your favorite flavor.
Recently, you heard about a hot new game called SBURB that might be fun to pass the time with on your PINKTOP, since you got GROUNDED for not picking up your COLLECTIBLE MEMORABILIA.
Your chumhandle is giddyFlorist and YOU HAVE THE TENDENCY TO GET REALLY EXCITED or become like really spacy dude.
I'm super-interested! Though I have no knowledge of the system. If that is no impediment, then I will begin working on a character right away.
I will play whatever is needed. Basically whatever other people don't want to play and we need! I'm just glad to be able to jump into something like this.
I suppose this means that unless anyone else really wants it, I will play a Hero of Space.
Also, I found this link to the Test Drive rules. Are these accurate?
Finally, since the trend has been set, is anyone opposed to all our characters having 4-letter, single-syllable names to match the humans in Homestuck as well as Rain, our (currently) only finished character?
I would like four letter names.

Rather than get too upset with your UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES, you calm yourself with some IRONING. A few passes over your FATHER'S HANDKERCHIEF helps soothe you. The HEAT. The STEAM. The SMELL OF CLOTH. You really do LOVE TO IRON. In fact, you always carry a trusty IRON in your IRONKIND STRIFE SPECIBUS just in case. Yours is no regular IRON, though. You ALTERED THE THING with a HIDDEN COMPARTMENT so you can sneak your THIEVES' TOOLS out of the house. ROB so generously gifted you these on your 12TH BIRTHDAY. You think of them as A REWARD for finally demonstrating your MASTER THIEVERY. Or maybe he's just WAITING ON THE STAIRS to pounce you. That CRAZY CAT will LIVE TO REGRET IT if he does.
It's just as well, though. Your SMALL STATURE gets you picked on at school, making you quite the LONER. This is aggravated further by your CONSTANT NOSEBLEEDS which tend to crop up at HORRIBLY INAPPROPRIATE TIMES. Kids these days. Someday you plan to GET BACK AT THEM. As a result, you only really have ONLINE FRIENDS, many of whom you met through UNSAVORY MEANS. Despite your odd meeting conditions, they are still your PARTNERS-IN-CRIME, at least when they don't make your BLOOD BOIL. You tell them about all your ESCAPADES and they tell you about all the cool new things they're interested in. A few of them mentioned this thing called SBURB that you decided to ABSCOND WITH from a PLACE YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE a few days ago. You had to clean the BLOOD up in your room before you could get to putting the disk in.
When you spend time on your SAFETOP or wear your NIGHTECH GOGGLES that you altered to have some COMPUTING FUNCTIONS in case it gets REALLY DARK, you feel at peace. >.> your chumhandle is noseySnatcher which you choose for the pure gumption of admitting your unique talents. your text is lowercase with proper end punctuation and pretty much no other kind. you tend to keep your emoticons standing up whenever possible use tildes to emphasize your ~anger~ and you always open and close with some shifty eyes just in case theyre watching. <.<
Items of note:
Your IRON which you use for all your STEAMING NEEDS
A set of THIEVES'S TOOLS you stole for your BIRTHDAY
Your FATHER'S HANDKERCHIEF, something you never leave home without.
Your SAFETOP, a variation of home computing that is incredibly unwieldy for anyone without the code
Your NIGHTECH GOGGLES, which you altered to have COMPUTING FUNCTION in case you're in a VERY DARK PLACE.
I'm not sure whether an Iron should be a medium (base 3 Grist) or small (base 2 Grist) weapon. Based on similar weapons in the Savage Worlds rules base, a medium weapon doesn't seem completely off. It is, however, certainly Dangerous (-4). Not sure how that would balance out, but Irons are big enough that a medium melee weapon wouldn't be too far off, I think.
Edit: Age is also, obviously, changeable to whatever we decide.
It's great, but is ROB your DAD?

Background (work in Progress)
Spoiler
Your name is Kait. No not Kaitlyn, just Kait. You have been known to have a FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC. Your chumhandle is operaticBalderdash. You are somewhat known for your FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC. You believe that anything worth doing is worth doing BIG!!!. You have even been acused of HAMMING IT UP on a few occasions mostly do to your FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC. You suppose that it all works out, what with you being the GREATEST ACTOR YOU KNOW.
Many people doubt your acting talents, as you have never been cast ted in any roles, but its not your fault you were HOME SCHOOLED, and the local school cant let you act if you dont go there. But the Director assures HE WOULD IF HE COULD. You know he was being sincere since your KEEN ACTING SKILLS allow you to tell such things.
Your Fetch Modi is the Pork Sylabus, in order to retrieve anything from it you must ask, DRAMATICALLY!!! As a result for your ENTHUSIASTIC PRACTICE of your acting skills few people other than your DEAR SISTER can stand to be anywhere near your voice for more than a week at a time. That doesn't bother you much, they will all be back when your a FAMOUS BROADWAY DIVA. You know you'll make it eventually as long as you have your TRUSTY ACTING SKILLS and your INTERNET FRIENDS, who fortunately cant hear you when you practice. You do battle with your STAGE LIGHT specious, many have learned to fear the glare of the lights upon there face, especially when you asked a friend to rig them up to put a little EXTRA HEAT on those you felt weren't ACTING HARD ENOUGH. Now some people might call these laser guns, but you feel that makes them sound far to dangerous for simple STAGE LIGHTS.
You like to let people KNOW YOU ARE THERE!!! but you have also been known to bring it down when appropriate to the scene. Admitedly you have been known to stumle ovr the lins whn in a rsh or strrsed but you try to keep that sort of dime store high school acting RIGHT WHERE IT BELONGS!!!
Items of not will depend on the answer to that Arcane Background question.
Depends on the background.

Well . . . I imagine ADAM and KESS won't like each other very much. Thievery is not very heroic AT ALL. Except when it is. Gaming logic says heroes can take anything not bolted down. But KESS steals game or no game!
Oh, and I replaced Quirk with Vengeful. ADAM is slow to forgive evildoers. Especially bullies in need of punishment. He will totally go back to school and make sure they know their place. But only if the cops aren't looking. Heroes do NOT have criminal records.
Though I guess since KESS gets bullied, ADAM could have saved the day once. So instead of rightous fury it'd just be constant nagging. "You totally shouldn't steal, Kess. It'd be booshtastic if you didn't steal, Kess."
Then again, most SBURB players don't live close to each other. Human ones anyways. Trolls were definitely an exception.

If the thread hasn't been absolutely swamped, I should have a character up a day or two after I get back.
