Count me in with the addicts, this has been a hoot so far. As has been pointed out, it's great for helping to flesh out minor details about or perceptions held by a character. I'm also enjoying it as a way to keep my main somewhat active while I'm focusing on other characters for a couple days, and figure it'd be an ideal way for em to pass the time hunched over a smartphone at the bar nosing into random stranger's lives while storyline developments have em squatting in the D.
I also like letting my character be afflicted by social media cretinitis, where an otherwise intelligent and capable individual goes a little durrhurr when confronted with a keyboard and doesn't give half as much consideration as they should to who could be reading.

Just to make you aware, the name "Acanous" is taken on formspring, but not by me.
Given that the person hasn't answered any questions, I'm assuming it's only been done to ensure I don't get the name.
In any case, while the account exists, it isn't mine.

My thoughts on November 30.
I'm just getting a kick out of recognizing names in game. The other day, after putting up Enerjack, someone actually spoke to me in the D. Pity my comp crashed which totally killed my mood to RP some but it's still a blast to go, "I recognize that person!" Some I've seen before but never on the right character or on at all to interact so this system provides a different avenue... and then others I speak to regularly

Human Air Horn- Sonic/NRG Blaster, mutant. Got his powers from a motorcycle accident that injured him so badly it awoke his latent mutation. Overseer Kuznetsov- Crab Spider. Big ol' Russian guy with a bit of a bipolar (anywhere between furious and hilarious) temperament. Tyranny of Silence- Night Widower. Arachnos' chief ambassador to other nations/organizations. He's mute, and spends much of his time buried in the international paperwork Arachnos has to deal with. Jolt-Charge Thunder- Elec/Regen Scrapper, mutant. College frat-boy who got his powers after being struck by lightning during a frat party in the middle of a thunderstorm. Neuronomicon- Ill/Kin 'troller, mutant. Gained his powers by awakening his mutation during a surgical procedure that replaced his entire nervous system with a 'neurokinetic' network that wires to his brain. He spends his time teaching neuroscience at Steel Canyon U and saving the day when needed. Vince Blood- Pistol/Kin, natural. He owns a bar and seems to be in a constant state of inebriation. There's a little more to him than that, but since he never mentions it, no one quite knows why he seems so different. Exec (Tovias Orqell)- Mind/Psi Dom, natural. He's a powerful psychic/telekinetic with a love of the Human Resources business. Since he can make people do whatever he wants just by thinking it, his HR company Orqell Services is one of the best HR agencies in the world. Ulrich Van Sturm- Traps/DP 'fender, natural. He owns the company Van Sturm Industries, a worldwide vendor of small devices and military-grade inventions. Steven "Synaptus" Murwin- Elec/Rad 'troller, mutant. Steven, a loyal Praetorian, gained his powers while dosing on a designer drug. The drug caused him to emit electricity and various forms of energy discharge, not limited to radiation. So he started a metal band. His band 'Six Levels, One Boss' is a huge hit in Praetoria, even with the stoic Emperor Cole. Such singles include "Resist my Fist", "Desyndicate", "Vice Grip Vindicator" and "Grim Enricher". |

Haha The Paragon Tattler! Oh this'll be good. xD
Wonder who it is...
Looks like I'll be spending tomorrow playing catch up. Darn weekends and having a life.
I'm really enjoying reading the responses when I don't have time to reply myself.
Not that I'm tooting my own horn or anything...

Its all been amazingly fun so far and is turning out to be a really great exercise in fleshing out the more mundane day to day trivialities of a character that while seemingly insignificant, have a huge effect on making the character seem more authentic and alive.

Why didn't I think of doing this? I'm very much looking forward to the humiliation and drama as mud is flung in every direction! City of Form Spring will certainly be anything but dull.

Folks will have to be extra careful and choose their "partners" wisely when hanging out in the D. Enerjack will enjoy this!
I have been able to MASSIVELY flesh out my back-story from the rather crappy alien-abduction related origin I originally planned for this character to something more involved. I DO really kind of want to meet some of you guys in-game now...
Anyone Who wants to argue about my usual foolishness can find me here.

I'll miss you all.
Huh. What a great way to introduce RPers that haven't met before.

I have a character who, IC-ly, is an advice columnist for The Paragon Times, albeit he uses an alias. I wonder if I should make a formspring for him...

Go for it but bet The Tattler would give out a hit on you. It'd be Shadow Broker vs Shadow Broker. :P

This has been a blast so far, though. Keep those questions comin'!
Oy I'm never going to catch up at this rate.
