@Saulot Thanks! It was really all my wife's doing. I never really thought about looking for them but she is a historian and the mystery was too much for her to ignore. 24&me and Ancestry were obtained, and about 3 weeks after I got my results my father's sister did a test that sent up a flag. My wife contacted her, and then from there found everyone else.

It's all still pretty new to me, and a bit awkward since I am introverted as it is. Talking to 'family' that I don't know is a little weird. But bio-dad is very receptive so that makes things easier. Bio-mom is not as 'chatty' with me, sadly. I have tried reaching out a few times since the initial phone call with her (where she seemed receptive), but I don't get much back. Ah well.

@Auspice I'm debating bringing The Question (Sage, not Montoya) in, but I am also open to suggestions.

EDIT: Oh, the +roster has way more than the wiki does in terms of who is taken (or available). Hrm, now there are many other options. Stupid decisions.

RIP King Kong Bundy.

@HelloProject Not to be confused with Charles Victor Szasz...

I've actually never heard of Arx, but what you've said about what they accomplished is very compelling! I want to confirm, is Arx this? ---> https://play.arxgame.org/

I'll admit, ARX intimidates me. I've looked at playing it, and looked at the roster and even picked a few characters that look like they could be fun to play, but after that point I just look at all the lore and other things and nope out.

Shit like this just breaks my heart. I just want to go home and hug my floofer now.

Confession...

I have never played a Kingdom Hearts game.

@alamias I'm looking at liberation, can you elaborate on your experience over there for me a bit? I would greatly appreciate it.

DM me with what you want to know if there is anything specific, otherwise, I will try to craft something generic below.

I have two characters in two different splats there right now. I just last week started the second. Now, I will admit that the director of both splats has a //LOT/ on her plate, and as a result jobs and requests are dealt with at a pretty slow pace. Do not really expect a job to be done in a quick manner.

That being said, I am having a great time with the RP in both splats. While one character of mine is on the fringes of one plot, the new one just got thrust into a plot pretty deep.

The first character I had was wrapped up in kind of his own plot, that I am only now finding out branched out a lot father than I knew at the time as I continue to hear new things. I am really liking the way they try to do storytelling much like a TTRPG when they can. Sure there is the generic other RP by just hanging around the grid, but the plots run deep as well and they do try to give characters some individual attention.

@Ghost I have it, but I have yet to play it. I've cracked it open to look inside, but haven't punched it or read the rules yet. No time + nobody to play with.

@Auspice

I wouldn't hate it if MU's moved to a different more secure port. I don't know why it hasn't moved up with the times to use a more secure connection.

@Ghost I'll look into playing a solo game just to give it a run through. I have people I can have over to play, just haven't been able to get them together yet.

I ended up getting the sundrop all in, so I don't have to paint them. I'm looking forward to getting all the other alien stretch goals.

Is it okay to create couples out of characters who are canonically with other people? Can (adult) Peter Parker date Captain Marvel?

KIND OF A MANHO

Is it weird that I play someone who is supposed to be kind of a manho (Luke Cage), but I don't flirt or do much of anything in that regard because I feel weird OOCly that if I RP those elements of him I am afraid I will be labeled as just trolling for TS?

Is it doubly weird that this is coming from the guy that played Kaleb (If you know, you know) where I didn't care if that is how I might have been labeled?

@Ghost Yeah, I saw the issues reported, but my Solider seemed to be fine.

@Ghost Good thing I don't live in Texas then...
