*now has the desire to make a thread where everyone makes a bio but cannot use any character that they create themselves, instead claiming someone else's (unclaimed) bio*

It wouldn't even have a storyline though because I am nowhere near active/creative enough to keep one going, but it could be sandbox-y like ABO was, just with the added bonus of each character not having a past life (or one that they can remember, anyway), just having uber-basic personalities at the beginning to-be-fleshed out during the life of the thread. :P

EDIT: Thanks for the compliments though like I really just thought of that idea on a whim I am literally running on like 4 hours of sleep no one should take my ideas seriously this is a dangerous concept

EDIT2: Is it bad that I'm opening a word document to start this thread instead of making any more progress on this bio than the name? Because that is a thing I am doing.

Hell, both of you write it! I don't think I've ever been around to see a double GM thread. It'd be an interesting take on the story, watching as it shifts between two people's ideas of what should be going on.

Plenty of fun hijinks to be had!

Also Blue, I'll help you out here: the joke is that West suggested that same type of thing around page 780, I believe.

OH MY GOD YES WE TOTALLY SHOULD IT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE RPING AND IT WILL MAKE UP FOR THE FACT THAT I TOTALLY CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO POST MORE THAN TWICE A YEAR

EDIT: Oh seriously? Haha the struggles of having a computer crap out on you amiright? Like I couldn't access 99% of my existence for a month and I had to drag the Xbox out so I wouldn't pass out from boredom.

I'll help you out here.

Name: Take a random name generator. Do not question what comes out. Even if your man's name is Mira or some really long and complicated japanese name. JUST TAKE IT!

Age: I advise against provoking big brother's attention with excessively low ages.

Gender: This is a test of adaptability, a trick question! Always pick a third option.

Appearance: Copy and paste from a bio you did years ago, it's not like anyone actually reads this. If that fails, imagine you're writing a police report - they don't write novels about peoples descriptions, only footnotes.

Attire: Copy and paste from the bio above you Pink blouse, blue jeans with love hearts on them. Bonus points if you're a male in high heels.

Short history:
[insert name here] was an ordinary high school/uni student doing x until x! and then x happened!

Other: Should be the most complex and interesting part of your bio.

Sadly, in more active days, this used to be the norm.

What's her personality like? What role in the team is she supposed to fill? The chick, action girl, MORE DAKKA!?

As it stands, I think we have:

The cold sniper (archtype) android gunslinger (Inferi’s character)
The genetically modified big guy with a sword (Guthix’s character)
Close combat specialist (assuming Duncan follows the namesake)
The Sixth Ranger (What I intended for Lucky to be)

So I guess try to compliment those? I'm not sure if Chasers would agree, but we're certainly lacking support and specialised heavy weapon units. Not to mention that we have nobody officially designated as a skilled leader or group coordinator.

No, she's the Heavy Weapons Specialist. The AM Rifle is simply the lightest weapon in her arsenal.

Scratch that, the LMG variant is the lightest weapon in her arsenal, but that'll probably never get used because it doesn't do enough damage.

Nah nevermind my original statement is the correct one. She doesn't need that many weapons. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
