Everything looks good to me, and I agree, the more the merrier. Funny enough, I fall into the Jock Category, followed by nerd. I've played football for 11 years, I'm 6'2'' 300 lbs (resemble any one of my RP characters?? lol) and I lift weights a lot. But I am also a pretty big nerd (figured i'd add in since we're on the topic)

What football position do you play? I used to do a little kicking (didn't have the size for anything rougher, and besides that British football -- aka soccer -- was my sport of choice), but it sounds to me like you're more suited to linebacker or something.

I was a defensive lineman. Played nose guard (basically, i lined up across from the center, got double or triple teamed all game... lol). I wasn't a star player. But I was a starter, and I did my job, which is what a team game is all about. I miss football... Now that I'm in college i don't play anymore. I'm not exactly good enough to play for The Ohio State University (although i'm d**n well trying! WALK ON FOR THE WIN!) I was a great run-stopper, not so much a pass rusher because it was never easy to get by 2 lineman, a running back, and still have time to sack the QB... Anyway, I hope you didn't mind how i involved your character in my post Pinata. I figured she was the only one with an easy method/scapegoat for getting out of trouble.

You go to OSU, Mammoth? I saw the OSU V U of Minnesota game. My dad went to OSU, and my sister goes to the university of Minnesota. You guys kicked our asses. 'Course, my dad and I were rooting for you guys.
Wonderful thing about the U of M football matches. When the students realize that their team is going to lose, they all start chanting: "LET'S GET DRUNK! LET'S GET DRUNK!"
I've got a buckeyes shirt 'round here somewhere.

I live in Ohio and am a huge OSU fan. Is my character ok? I'm a little ansy about putting that much input on the plot... I've never really been one to do that...

Ok, Fionn. I think you just left my character behind....

Your character is fine, Rosy. The more input from others, the better. I'm not that clever. >_>.
And don't worry, Knight. You haven't been left behind. There's a method to my madness.
As soon as I figure it out, I'll let the rest of you in on it.

Ah ok. The only thing is I was walking behind the group, trying to engage in a conversation and suddenly they are now in a closed room. Should I change my post? I guess even Pinata would have to.
Oh and Rosy thats a very good profile.

Hey rosy. Don't be intimidated. Only way you can get better, if you even need to (never read a roleplay of yours), is if you throw yourself into a "tougher" roleplay. Don't be afraid to throw ideas out there, and drop in on the plot with your ideas, thats what makes this fun. None of us got good at this by not trying

Don't worry about it, Rosy... I'm sure you'll do fine. You seem to think you're not as good an RPer as the rest of us, and though that may have been true when you first joined (though you were pretty good even back then), I've noticed some improvement lately that puts you pretty close to the level of some of the others in this RP (there'll always be those who are better than the rest of us -- I worry Jess will leave everyone in her dust, as she kicks ass -- but we're all pretty evenly matched for the most part).
The only thing I can see that might be a challenge for you is that Duke seems to be more serious than your other, more comic-relief oriented, characters (like Fife in Music City... she's a riot). I have no doubt you'll play him well, though... a detailed, well-thought-out character sheet usually means you've got a handle on how to play the character even before you post with them.

Turns out, Mammoth, I somehow missed your post. I don't know how the hell I managed, but I somehow didn't see it.
I'll figure something out. >_>

@mammoth: I don't mind how you used Kaitlyn in your post at all. In fact, you kind of owed me one for The Roads That Lie Ahead.

He wasn't supposed to be noticed anyways, thats the whole point. He's good at what he does.

I made my first post... Lol. I'll have Duke catch up soon enough. Right now I'm trying to find a way for him to bust in on the group... Oooo... I think I have an idea.
