Break out the L-word. The other L-word.
 @Ped: That bio mostly checks out, though you could probably rename your strife specibus to staffKind or something of that sort. Also, your names a bit wonky. Remember how it is in Homestuck? Like grimAuxiliatrix, carcinoGeneticist, tentacleTherapist, etc etc. Something more along those lines would be nice.

@Fish: Those profiles check out nicely.

@Chaos: Alrighty. If you throw in another kid, we'll be pretty even so far. Fish's got his two trolls, Ped's got his human, and I'll be throwing in two trolls once I get around to making bios for them. Two to four's not a bad ratio to start with. Hopefully we'll get a bit more of both soon, though.

 If I may suggest a slightly modified bio:

Character sheet

Admittedly I pretty much took vertigo's bio sheet from that fan adventure topic, but it pretty much has everything you'd need. So full credit to him (thanks brah!). Optional sections are listed as optional since I think you could take or leave them in regards to an RP. Feel free to suggest sections that should be removed/added and I'll adjust it and put it in code form for ease of use.

Other things that came to mind:

Naming. Are there rules in place one should follow? (Such as the kids in HS all having four letter names)

Ages. Should the kids/trolls all be the same age as each other or will we allow for some variation?

... that's pretty much it for now. With those answered I can happily get to work on getting a character sorted for you.

Oh. Although I think I don't quite get how the chat between two characters is going to work? Someone want to elaborate on that a little further? Because at the moment I seem to be getting the idea that there will be a series of one line posts for the duration of a chat between characters. And that just seems awkward. .-.

 @Chaos: ...yeah, I don't know why I didn't just give that as my standard bio. >.<

But yes, we'll use that one from now on. Fish and Ped, you'll have to redo your bios for this new format. The optional stuff probably shouldn't be included at all, though. It's not really necessary, I guess. Except maybe the quirk. And yes, for the most part, the interests will be posted in the first post of the actual RP. You can post a very bare-bones essentials version of the interests in your bio, but it's probably best you leave it at that until your first post.

As far as names go, I haven't set up anything special like six-letter-only names or four-letter-only names. So you're free to do pretty much whatever you want.

The ages should be around the same, but not exactly. There can be some variation. For example, my character Aertra's only just fifteen in earth years (seven sweeps old), making her one of the youngest of the trolls. What I'm aiming for is about 15-16 for humans and trolls. The solar sweep equivilant to 16 is 7.83

As for how the conversations will work... they don't necessarily have to be just one-liners if we do this. They can involve some little rant/ explanation things and some mental reactions from your character.

What might happen, though, is we might try to do something with the actual Pesterchum/ Trollian client. It would, however, be rather difficult to set up those conversations, I think, and copying them, pasting them, and coding the colors into your post would be extremely time-consuming.

I guess that's up to you guys. Which of those two should we do? Or does someone have a better idea than these? Better ideas than what I offer are always welcome. ^^;

Anyways, I'll be getting around to posting my own character's bios soon.

 Alright, one revised bio template coming up!

Code:
 
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Sex:[/b]
[b]Species:[/b]
[b]Lusus/Guardian:[/b]
[b]chumHandle:[/b]
[b]Text Color:[/b]
[b]Planet:[/b]
[b]Title:[/b]
[b]Strife Specibus:[/b]
[b]Fetch Modus:[/b]

[b]Appearance:[/b]

[b]Personality:[/b]

[b]Typing Quirks:[/b]

Now in convenient copy pasta form! Left typing quirks in because in the event of really weird quirks an explanation helps to read them. :P

Also wow, I haven't used Pesterchum in months. But having just tested it now colour coding doesn't come from the logs so you'd have to do it manually. Which would be a total pain in the ass. But it would condense a conversation to a single post. I don't really know which of the two is better.

I guess I'd have to ask what happens in the event of a conversation. If one is going on do the characters get to break order while they bounce back and forth or do they have to wait until their turn comes back for the next line in a conversation? Or does everything else go on pause until a conversation is complete? ... yeah this is pretty much what I mean by awkward. |D;

Other alternative would possibly be PMs. But you couldn't really copy the coding from them either. Other than that I have no idea. |I

Anyway, I'll probably whip up a character for this tomorrow. I might just end up expanding on that character I was supposed to make for the other thing. We'll see. ^^;
