By the way, I haven't been in a free-form roleplay in a long time, and the last thing I want to do is try to grab the spotlight. Havoc is meant to be more of a complementary side character, and my goal with her roleplaying is to draw other characters out, not insert her into every single scene. That said, I'm very engaged with this RP right now, and I'm also online, like, basically always, since I work from home. Do let me know if I'm butting into too many scenes!
Do not worry my friend! The whole point is to interact, and to stake a claim of why your own character is important and worthwhile. The ambition is to make the players who joined the main characters of the story, so to speak, rather than them being "the people that follow Captain Otodus around" so I am all for trying to empower people to take daring, front-line roles. You've not stepped on any toes, at any rate!

By the way, I really like Angel's opening. There's a lot of really good writing in this RP, and the intro is absolutely fantastic. I love how aggressively Barbossa-esque Otodus comes off—you get the sense he really lives in his own world and enjoys every second of it. He's a perfect archetypical pirate to set the genre for the RP.
Aw, thank you! The aim with Otodus is to give the stereotypical pirate captain that everyone knows and loves, but with a little bit of emphasis on, "he is living in this parallel world that only vaguely intersects with our own." Very flamboyant, very forth-coming, very much has no time to mince words.

You’re talking to the queen of annoyance. LOL we’re very acceptance here. We don’t judge about the disability or disabilities.
I'm not too sure to be honest Annie. I'd like to finish the story of course, but at the same time, it's only you, NotFishing and Inferi who are still around. So that would be a lot of characters to move on without, which makes it a bit difficult. Especially because I had like, four or five different storylines going at once.

Yeah, I have ADHD Autism, which is really hard to tell from anxiety sometimes—especially the "am I secretly annoying people" feel, which is a heck of a lot of fun. Even when anxiety's not debilitative, it is a real drain on systems.
I have the same disability. That "Are you secretly annoyed with me?" Feeling is the story of my life, and it has destroyed my self-confidence and filled me with a ton of anger. This is coupled with the fact that I never fit in with people throughout my schooling, and then triple that by finally coming out as gay in high school, and let's just say that my social life during those years was very limited. I still had friends though. They were either people who knew me my whole life, or social outcasts who did not care about my eccentricities, and would follow me to Hell and back.
I think we all have some form of anxiety, or autism. Technically my condition is called PDDNOS (Pervasive Developmental Disability, Not Otherwise Specific) I've always had some delay in maturing mentally, combine that with ADHD, motor skill issues. (I sometimes slur my words, giving the appearance of drunkenness, and issues with balance. I used to get dizzy from just standing up.) One time, I was a freshman in high school, I got up really fast after watching my brother and his friend play video games, and I had to take pills. My mom brought them into the room, and as I was about to take them, I fainted, fell backwards and put a whole in the wall. XD
As I said Everyone here has some form of anxiety, which is why we are online. Video games have always been a sanctuary for people on the Spectrum. So no judging.
Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!
