Hi guys, this is the new account. Sorry for all this. :p I'll make a better, easier to see thread later. Ok? :3

Using 4th signature. :3

Hia, I need help finding a group to place a new character in as well as help fleshing her out a bit more. So far I know she is a green-eyed caracal named Fei Rince. She's a heterosexual female scorpio who has Atychiphobia (Fear of Failure). She's an Extrovert, prefers Justice over Mercy, argumentative instead of avoiding conflict, optimistic, open-minded, orderly, passionate, smart, ambitious, enthusiastic, kind, busy, competitive, high-spirited, proud, tough, jealous, obsessive, stubborn, restless, and moody. She wants to be the best ever possible and hates it when she doesn't/can't comprehend something. She also paces when she is worried and has no powers.

I need to know where to place her (fast/medium paced), maybe some kind of accessory she'd wear, and any other ideas to flesh her out are well accepted for hearing! :3

Thank you for that information! :3 I'll look into SunClan soon. :3 In the mean while I'm still open to suggestions on all three topics listed in the first post.

Oh my gosh! The glasses sound great! Thank you!! She'll be cute and aggressive~ X3

[size=11pt]⌘ The caracal walked around where the grass and the sand met as she looked around. She had heard of these clans before and felt now that she should join one to further her learning and practice; after all, if she wanted to be the best of the best she needed to learn! Fei sat down and tilted her head so her glasses would go back to the top of her nose instead of falling down them. "Hello? Anyone here?" she called out, looking around as she sat, waiting, her ears tilting and turning to try and hear if anyone was approaching.[/size]

[size=11pt]⌘ Fei smiled when she saw the indian cat, lynx and canine, "I'm Fei Rince and I was wondering if I could join your clan. This is a clan, yes?" she asked, looking over at the indian cat with her green orbs and letting her ears position to point to the others so as she could hear them better.[/size]
[size=11pt]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────[/size]

[size=11pt]⌘ "It's very nice to meet you all." Fei grinned happily. So far she had learned two names and was part of a clan! However she knew she had a lot to learn, so she started asking questions. "So what is clan life like? Like, what do you do?"[/size]
[size=11pt]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────[/size]

[size=11pt]⌘ Fei looked over at Dean and Jack, "It's very nice to meet you as well!" she smiled and then looked over at the kitten. "I think I'll like it here too. Everyone is very nice!" she grinned, her ears turning to hear Jack better.[/size]
[size=11pt]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────[/size]

[size=11pt]⌘ Fei looked over at the new cat, "The I am pleased that I walked into this one. I don't believe we've met.. I'm Fei Rince." the caracal smiled lightly, her light green eyes watching the bright orange tabby from behind her glasses.[/size]
[size=11pt]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────[/size]

[size=11pt]⌘ Fei smiled, "Well I don't think that'll be much issue. Last I checked I'm fit as a fiddle and I don't plan on getting hurt any time soon." she stated, quite confident in her ability to stay safe.[/size]

So I was recently reading http://feralfront.com/index.php?topic=2234853.14 and realized we could probably do something to help boost activity. We might be slower now, but there is still a whole TON of people on this site that could work together to help the site. I noticed the Main Game is slowing down and really hard to get into. (I never went straight to it in the beginning and even now I still find it really difficult to get into it.) Maybe there is something we can do. I notice RP is still a big thing through many communities. So are Pet Sites. On dA, there are even things like SheduCats that are HUGE groups of RPs that have a different style than what I see on dA. They are a community RPing like a Pet Site. Meaning they grow their characters and use stats like you see in video games. I'm wondering if we can use our knowledge from what is already out in the world and working to help make FeralFront's activity go up. Please do speak your mind here, I'm really interested in hearing other opinions/ideas.

chocco I never mind if people track.

Vestigial, I am also a more traditional Roleplayer, but from what I've seen a good portion of people who do the more 'mobile' or 'stat favored/new gen' RPing still like to do the P-B-W (Play by Write). I myself use PBW with the new gen RPing since I don't mind either. I'm not saying make it very pet focused and gaming and quizzes, but just using our knowledge as RPs and intellectual, adaptive peoples to make the RPing maybe a bit more interesting character wise. We already do this with breeding the characters and using correct, realistic, or made up genetic systems. That's what I mean. Here is an example.

Let's say my character is Examplepaw.
Examplepaw is a healthy tomcat with good genetics and stats.
If he mates later in life with Modelpaw they will pass on their good genetics and stats.
The kits might have Examplepaw's good genetics and Modelpaw's quick and powerful stats.
However all stat gains and other things in life are RPed in a PBW style.

Vestigial, I agree with the events. I remember when we use to use real weather as an effect on clans which I liked to follow. Currently, I'm getting an onslaught of rain in RL which would be fascinating to see affect the clans much like the hurricanes and snows use to. I feel the clans need to be more in contact with each other as well. You always see people favor one clan or very minimal (usually parties/gifts) contact with clans. Why don't we have diplomats, politics, wars, civil wars, alliances, enemies like we use to? They were so much more of a driving force than they are now.

Glisade, some stat RPs are confusing, but I think that's more of a lack of communication. I enjoy a good portion of sites that use stats, but there are very few guides that actually fully and comprehensibly explain them. More family trees/family interactions (Much like in ancient times how royal families would create better standings with each other by having relationships or marriages between them) as well as genetics and stats would make it really interesting.

Vestigial, weather was amazing. I'd love things like politics to be more as well. I remember when we had a map. It's no longer updated from what I'm aware of, but it was pretty cool. I'd love to see that return as well and watch the territories be pushed and pulled and taken and threatened. A site historian would be difficult, but nice. It'd probably end up being a group of historians instead of one. I'd also like to see disease and other effects as well that seriously hurt or help the story. As for stats, I doubt it would cause many problems, because with most stat like systems there is a limit to how much you can have in a stat and injury or disease could affect it. Having pets have it too could be neat, but I think it'd help the main game by adding something to work towards. A cat with nice genetics and stats would be favored, but hard to obtain since you'd have to seriously track family trees to make sure no inbreeding happens that would lower stats. I'd also love to see some things like mutations or powers have an ability to be passed down through genetics or stats even if you still had to use silver to get them. Like buying a silver item that makes the trait passable. That'd be neat.

ailes, this is also true. I'm not certain how we could recruit more members however. It's hard to get a person hooked on a book and it's harder to get them into something like roleplay.

Bump! I still want to here opinions. :3

A lot of what you'd mentioned would help people with muse. I've tried three times to get into main game, each was a fail. This was always because I was never interested in the way it worked. Characters would very rarely bond in a full open thread and fights barely broke out. There was no realism and when lacking realism you start to lack a kind of entertainment that people strive for. Sure we like fantasy, but even in fantasy books or movies there is still a sense of realism.

Nᴀᴛsᴜᴋᴀsʜɪɪ, there is no need to feel like your advertising. Your topic was very interesting and I enjoyed reading it and seeing the opinions of others.

Alpha Kratt, you are right when you say roleplay gets you weird looks. It's very hard to find someone in RL to talk to this about. The most I've ever found were D&D players who I love dearly and a BFF of mine since we were real young and have developed our old 'doll and house' thing into RP so we can enjoy more plot.

Tespooka, you are also correct. The Warriors fandom is fading with the few stragglers we see here and there picking up the book and joining the dying fandom. Sadly it's not enough to keep the fandom alive. With the RP stretched thin I'm not certain what to do. However, I can tell you a reorganization of the forums could be in order. It's horribly painful to find things sometimes. As for the intimidation of RP, I have a friend just like that. They prefer to have it 1x1 instead of a group. Besides that and with the stats I'm glad you like the idea. I thought it might help out and just in general gives you a nice way of showing how your character can handle things. The system we have currently of 'easy', 'medium', and 'hard' is just too broad in some ways. Your character might be 'easy' but could be fast enough or smart enough to evade and win against a 'medium'.

I find the power situation finicky. No one uses the powers with drawbacks, that's the issue. It's not that they have powers, it's that no one uses it with consequences. I vaguely remember a time when there was a list of powers and their consequences and yet I do think people ignored it. Think about it. If I controlled fire willy nilly without consequence, then it's a bit OP. However, if I controlled fire with the consequence of... oh let's say that it burns my paws. I wouldn't set a whole forest on fire because it would pretty much incinerate my paws. I could set a small campfire and feel sore or have 1st-degree burns, but I'd be fine. Like most magic in books, it's only ok if there are drawbacks. Powers shouldn't make a character invincible. They should be benefiting flaws. To quote the book 'The Alchemyst' in the 'Immortal Nicholas Flamel Series', "Do not thank me, for what I give you is a curse!" (In relation to the giving of the ability to use Air magic.)
