Well I'm not sure if I'm joining just yet, but I'm definitely interested in learning more. I'm a little confused as to how your system works. It reminds me of pen & paper rping. I'm personally used to be more informal stuff. And it's pronounded uu-lap

Well, let me know what exactly you're confused about, and I'll try to help. :3
The point system doesn't really often come into play, for example. It's really there to make sure people don't go too wild, and to give people something to work for. It doesn't really put any penalties on you, or give you any advantages save for your home base, in which it makes sure not just your average joe can come running in without a little trouble their way.

Well, previously character profiles were kept to their individual groups, but I'm reworking things a bit. Until I finish reworking them though, right now, for cannons, we have The Riddler, The Creeper, Robin, and Kid Flash. Welcome to Chasing Legends! :3 Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help you out. Sorry if things are a bit confusing right now. I'm trying a new system that still needs to be hammered out a little.

Well I better wade into the pool and introduce myself I’m Dawn (“Hi Dawn!”) and I’m probably not your typical gamer: I’m female, I’m 45, and happily married. However I’ve been doing this long before there was an internet to do it with. I was making up escapades with fantasy characters and B rated fan fics while riding on the school bus in middle school waaaaaay back in the 80’s. Who knew I was ahead of the curve? I started online with the now defunct CompuServe, then moved over to AOL’s Rhydin chat rooms when CompuServe was bought out. In the flurry of medieval elf-porn chat rooms I managed to curry a group of gamers that liked developing storyline, not hit points. We’ve got our own forum board now, a fun filled chaotic extravaganza that covers everything from sci-fi to fantasy to westerns to space bound military invaders, all in one huge melting pot; but I like expanding my repertoire. That’s when I started playing Lobo. There were a few forum boards, but it seemed like they’d dry up after 6 months, leaving me and Timmy (whom would play Vixen) posting against each other with not even a GM in sight. Timmy’s running several Yahoo boards and I’ve got charries all over them, including Killer Croc, Mr Mxyzptlk, Rogue, She Hulk, Abomination, Juggernaut, and of course the Main Man. I like playing the hulking bruisers. Heck it took me three months to convince the other gamers on the last board that I’m a chick. Still I’m always looking for new boards. I’m not done poking around this one just yet, but if I decide to hang my hat here I’d just luuuuuvvvvv to play Lobo…. …if just to twist your spell checker into a knot. And for the record, I majored in English in college; not that you’ll be able to tell once I get Lobo talkin’. I’m not sure how you’re whole point system works, but I can guarantee that the posts will be quite colorful, and gore-filled where applicable. Other fancies include the SCA ( www.sca.org/links/about.html ) where I run the Albino Gekko Coffee Shop and Gaming Parlour (home of the medieval Lounge Lizard.). ( www.cptdragon.freeservers.com/custom2.html ) I garden. I make prize winning wine, and if you haven’t figured out the reptile theme by now, yes I have reptiles. In fact my house is a dumping ground for all kinds of unwanted critters. ( www.cptdragon.freeservers.com/The%20Zoo.htm ) Hope to be terrorizin’ ya’ll soon!

Well, Dawn, welcome to Chasing Legends! XD If you like reptiles, you're in the right spot. Most of ours have attitude problems and breath fire, but a lizard is a lizard, right? I'm sorry to hear they were unwanted previously, but I'm sure they have a wonderful home now. It's good to know we have a veteran roleplayer in our midst! I've been roleplaying for a long time, but not nearly that long. :3 It'll be fun to see what you can churn out! And who doesn't love that big obnoxious guy on the space bike? We'd love to have him to the team. Just remember that we're PG-13 here, cause proboard's'll hang me by my toes if we go beyond that, and we have some minors running around. Once again! Welcome to Chasing Legends! You'll have some competition in the terrorizing department! XD
As for the point system, it's still evolving, so mostly it doesn't really play a big role in roleplaying yet. It may never. For the moment, it's there so you can say: "I have more points than you! Ha-ha!"

Wow; I haven't heard Rhydin in quite a while. My name's Will, Luigi's a nickname I picked up. I've been RPing for quite a while, starting out in AoL chat rooms (Rhydin of course being one of the major ones), which eventually branched out to forum-based RPs. I'm a writer; I love to read and write. I'm also a game designer, though still a work in progress (haven't graduated yet). I've helped a lot of RP websites in their early years, designing the sites, writing up the rules, templates, and even some 'how-to' sections for RP beginners.
I guess that's about it for now.

Hiya, Luigi! It's nice to have you with us. It sounds like you have quite the skill set under your belt! Any idea of who you want to play yet?

Got an OC I'll be working on. After that, I'll take a gander at the OC list and see who's available that I'll be comfortable playing with.

Thank you so much. I think I'll take a gray character, Jinx.
