Xana is here! AWESOME! It's time to roll! Xana, if you missed it, post up that bio of yours in the bio thread for easy of access, then we should have everything set up!

I see that. Welcome to the forum, mate. Go ahead and post a bio in the character bio thread. We haven't started yet, so you won't miss anything. Also, your character should be your avatar, so if you want something different, you should switch. Not a hard and fast rule, but everyone else is going by it.

Never too late! Just imaginate your character on the bio page and follow us for an adventure filled with hope and wonder!

And fighting! Lots of fighting!

It's already 7PM for me. Starting at nine is not a big deal for me, but I'll have to stop "early". Have to wake up real early in the morning tomorrow.

I can see how it would be. Hate to say this, but maybe we should start things up without him, for never and the other dudes who can't play otherwise cause of the timezone.

My vote is go. I assume yours is as well. Anyone else got an opinion?

He already went away? Damnit. Well, if you want to hear my idea for the start, I will say it, and if you agree with it, I will start the thread.

I don't really want to know the entire plot, that would ruin it, but sure, if you wanna tell us the set-up for the start, let's hear it.

Actually I don't have the entire plot. I will probably write by the seat of my pants. But I have a general idea of what I want to happen, I just don't know how it will happen. It will depends if whether the group is powerful or not. You guys seems to be stronger than what I was expecting, you can see as my character is... weak. But anyway, my idea for the start is:
Victin wrote:I was thinking we can start at a cave, not necessarily from a game, in wich Isaac is crying close to the only light source, a small bonfire. The cave is full of bats and some other small creatures. These creatures were about to attack the little boy, when someone appeared...
[[They continue from here. But I was thinking of taking the crossovers up to eleven and making most stuff from somewhere else. Like, the bats are Zubats, and the creatures can be from some other games, like this one. The same goes to items.]]

OK, whatever is fine, but again, lets ignore the fact that this is, for all intents and purposes a giant multi-crossover and just act like it's totally normal for all this to be in the same 'verse. My memories of the Shanaverse are clouded, so I won't make too many backstory references.

Also, I'm gonna get my bro back here. I've said before he has a lot of experience, so maybe he can fill in for Xana for a while.

Aaaaaand I forgot to mention the crossover part. E.g. Marco tries to become a phoenix and fails. He wonders why. He doesn't necessarily remembers his story, only that he could turn into a phoenix and stuff, but now he can't. And NeverSlender, water is your Weaksauce Weakness, add that to your character sheet.

Ha! I have nearly 700 chapters of back story to reference!

And again is there a system to this? It's the first one I've played.

EDIT: Aw cmon, no one else has added a weakness.

Sounds good to me.
Though, I'm also new at playing in pbp RPGs, so some pointers could help... Post order for instance, is it important to wait the turns and how to determine the turn order? (overthinking on my part?)
