”Ladies and Gentleman!” The exuberant voice of Karl Jak resounded from dozens of intercoms across the island, ensuring that the producer’s voice was heard by all 46 primes who had just been deposited across the island. ”It’s Karl Jak here, I hate to interrupt, but we’re about to start. I just want to welcome you all to your home for the next few days. Here is everything you need to know…

“Find each other. Kill each other.

“If a winner isn’t found in seven days… nobody wins! So let’s not let that happen, ‘kay? Good luck, kiddies!”

Karl turned off the control and smiled as he reclined into his office chair. He used the same speech everywhere, but that was because he was a man who enjoyed indulging in fun habits.

Dante’s Abyss was his favorite habit, and there were fewer things that got him more excited than watching 46 individuals murder, betray, and steal their way to the top.

This was a great day to be alive.

Quote:It is 1200 AM on the Island (0000 military time). All primes were transported to the island via helicopter and collared on the way there before being dumped out of said helicopters a ‘safe distance’ above the ground. As the helicopter windows were black, your character was no able to figure out where they were and/or see other primes being dropped off so don’t bother with that. Your copy of the map does mark your start location, though.

You do not need to roleplay out the trip here or the collaring unless you feel the need to, it is not mandatory.

Tomorrow, May 26th at 730 CDT I will lock this thread to post an announcement as Karl Jak that will coincide with sunrise at 0600 hours on the island (so it will remain dark IC for the next 24 hours OOC).

So I finally broke down and got the Skype app on my phone. Feel free to share your username, or even just PM it to me if you don't wish to advertise it.

Just wanted to say before the games good luck to everybody and may the best armour clad bounty hunter win

So I got bored at work and decided to settle my own mental debate: which type of media has the most characters sourced from it?

I did some research (more than I should have done on the clock, probably) and compiled everything into a spreadsheet. For the sake of my sanity, I only included players with characters in the Active Roster section. I then graphed the results:



The data here are based on the character's FIRST appearance (Real life chronology, not canon chronology) in their canon's FIRST media form, since a lot of series have been made into games and vice verse. For example, Pokemon is classified as a 'Game' here because that is the first media form it took, even though it is also an anime, manga, film etc. Trying to parse which have been in multiple media forms would have been a nightmare. I tried to lump everything into small enough groups that it still made sense.

Webcomics and comic books are both called 'Comics' and anything not Anime/Manga that is animated is just called 'Cartoons'. 'Games' are typically video games, though Warhammer is also included (this works out pretty well, as there are also Warhammer video games). I put anime and manga together, though by rights you could simply put 'Manga' and get the same graph; I just thought it made more sense. You could also combine Cartoons and Anime/Manga to make it neater, but I feel like you'd be losing 'meaning' in the data.

The 'Originals' section is for those that don't have a universe that they are based in (or, at least didn't list one in their join form); if we added back in Originals based in canon universes, it would be the second largest group, at 19. It would also eliminate the 'Films' group and a good chunk of 'Games'.

SO, conclusions: we apparently like us some games and anime, if that was ever in doubt. I was surprised by how much Games outweighed everything until I started typing it up.

That's all. Lemme know what you guys think.

With so many people active on the site, I get a glitched screen sometimes (blue with white box) so just a reminder to copy your post every time you update it, preview it, and before you submit it.

I don't want you to loose your hard work.

- Name: Butch Reaver
- Source: Original Creation

- Appearance: Butch has pale skin and a bright blue left eye. His right eye is covered for unknown reasons, and is sown shut with an eyepatch. He wears dark robes that have straps all over to keep them tight around his body. He has naturally black hair that drapes over his face. Butches mouth is covered by his robe for fear of him spreading his disease. He had multiple earrings and such on both ears. Butch stands at 5'9 and weighs 210 pounds despite his skinny appearance.

- History: Butch is a deadman walking, pure and simple. Almost zombie like in his appearance, he still manages to somehow blend in with the populations; at least in the Omniverse, the new world he awoke in. He used to be a skilled swordsman, always quick on his feet, never leaving a weak spot open. However, that was before he was infected with a strange disease that causes him not to feel pain, or bleed out through his extremities. People call him a 'ghoul' or a 'zombie', but he's far from being either of those; as of right now anyway. Butch would be around 223 years old starting today, since he has pretty much been through it all on his home world. As time passed, he threw away his sword and roamed his land fighting beasts with his bare hands, earning him the right to live amongst the population on his past home world. It was as simple as going to sleep and waking up that landed Butch in this new world of adventure and mystery. Was he dead? How did he get here? He now strives to find that answer, hopefully he will find a drive in himself to find the nerve to wield a sword once more.

[ Let me know if anything seems incomplete; making moves that don't seem to be multi-purpose is tricky, but rest assured him taking the skin off his hands do not increase his strength; but having skin on his hands reduce the damage due to the soft tissue. I have no idea how to add photo's on this website during this RP, but I have a picture for this character that I will use as a forum avatar. ]

Welcome to Community Accolades, your monthly platform to highlight the success of your peers.

This month sponsored by Karl Jak, because 'love.' Also only four categories this month to streamline this a little more due to Dante's Abyss. Sorry, we'll add some new categories for June.

Monthly Community Accolades entails nominating and voting on who you think best epitomizes the categories selected for each month. Categories may vary each month.

This is the nomination thread.

Nominate your choices, and after one week, we will move onto a head-to-head vote between the two individuals with the most nominations (unless someone has +5 more nominations than the next guy… that’s a landslide).

For now, all you have to do is read the category, think of someone who best exemplifies it, and explain your reasoning in 2 or 3 sentences. Post that all in this thread. There is no rule against nominating your own characters, and you do not have to nominate for all categories (just those you feel comfortable with).

Winners will become ''Community Stars' until the next vote. They’ll receive a Medal!, a blue user title, and a bonus ‘reward.’

‘Best’ Character – Which character has you engaged the most?
‘Best’ Writer – Which writer wowed you the most?
Most Helpful – A staffer or a member who gave you amazing feedback on a story or was simply there to help you sort out some of your problems.
Rising Star – Which up-and-coming member stands at the crème of the crop? (must have joined within the last month and a half or have less than 8000 OM)

Discuss the game Terraria here!
If you haven't heard of it, just Google it. It's a 2D adventure game with NPC shops and you build the towns after gathering the materials, and you face bosses, and crap like that.

If you'd like one last-minute piece of advice, whether in general or a specific thing, send me a private message that starts with the words 'Real Talk.'

I'll get back to you either tonight or tomorrow.

This will be your last chance to get some advice from Karl Jak until Day 2.
