Hi everyone. I’m Krystal, or Meony, whichever you prefer. Been lurking around here for a while and finally decided to get in on the “action” so to speak.
I’ve looked around and I can see that there’s a lot of opportunities for roleplay around here. Too many opportunities actually. I mean, I don’t know where I’d like to start. Actually, I shouldn’t assume I will be welcome anywhere, so I guess it’s better to place an “advertisement” of myself for everyone to see and let someone decide I’m worth the time. I only hope I’m placing the ad in the right place. If you’d like to get more details, feel free to ask me here or send me a PM, or um…I don’t know, look at my profile? I just finished it…for now.
I’m open to almost any form of RP, but I’m kind of a non-violent person, despite whatever might be said in my profile, I really don’t hit people, not even with a pillow. Well, maybe a little….
Oh, I kind of have an amnesiac storyline in my head for my character. I mean, like, uh…y’know, mad scientist performs experiments and then wipes my memory kind of thing. Just tossing that out there if any of you are wondering if I have something to bring to the proverbial table as it were. I mean, I have ideas, but I’d like to know if anyone would be interested or if you think I should be doing something less cliché or whatever.
Yup, okay, enough about me. Hope to hear back from anybody soon.

Welcome to the site! Always good to have new blood around here; I mean that in as much of a capacity that we will drain you of it, or perhaps let you keep it. In all seriousness, welcome to the site - I'm sure we'll find you a niche somewhere in our odd, insane, eclectic, and somewhat oval shaped universe. Anyway, your first story idea seems awesome - when I first started, I did a similar "lost my memory, oh woops" type of thing; it works well as it allows you to kinda fill in the gaps of what you want your character to be as you progress down the line.
As for where to start, there's a LOT of places to start here...seeing that you don't like violence, you could always go the Jedi route, maybe be a gray - there's a lot of room for political RP as well, running around as royalty and negotiating things and such. My own planet that my group runs around on is Serenno (Outer rim East, below Rhen Var) and we're always in the need of a Countess, or someones daughter or some such. Might be a good place to start as things aren't blowing up at the moment.
Or, you could always roam the space lanes...if your looking for a more rough and tumble time you can go to Tatooine, Nar Shaddaa, or, everyones favorite, Coruscant Underworld. Again, depending on what you want...there's a LOT of options.

Greetings and welcome to the site just think I will throw it out there since I don't have much to say sadly. You are welcome to join the Jensaarai a neat little Order we got going down on Contruum.

Now, before anyone lies to you, I'm the real doctor around here.
Accept no substitutes!
Dante's right - things are pretty quiet in his neck of the woods. Also, there's no fixed rule on how many places you can be simultaneously, so abuse it. Appear in all three places and drop out of the dull ones.

Thanks, Dante and Anven.
Again there's just so many opportunities. :/Now, before anyone lies to you, I'm the real doctor around here. Accept no substitutes! Dante's right - things are pretty quiet in his neck of the woods. Also, there's no fixed rule on how many places you can be simultaneously, so abuse it. Appear in all three places and drop out of the dull ones. Three places at once? I'm fast, but I'm not that fast...
But seriously, how do I do that?

For example, say you want to try your hand on Contruum. Accept Mr Firestar's offer and go for it. At the same time, accept Count Lord Highness Dante's deal and post on Serenno. As simple as that. It's what we call parallel timelines. What happens in the one doesn't necessarily affect the other, because when its happening is a little fuzzy. Because of the slow post turnover its a sanity saving device for us who can't wait for the other side of the world to wake up.

Like Gukky said, the time line here on JvS is a little...eh, odd. We RP like each planet is in it's "golden age" the prime of that planets history. At the same time though, we reference things IC like the Empire, or the old republic. Because of this the concept of a "linear" time line for a character kinda gets muddled or lost...
What many people do is make separate or parallel time lines as Gukky said; one can be of you two years ago, another five years into the future. For example, I'm RPing with the Jedi on Carida - this is roughly 9 months to a year in the future of my SL ongoing on Serenno - simultaneously, I have an RP going on thats three years into my past. This is primarily so we can always have something to write on and read; just having ONE story, and waiting on one or two people can get reallllllllly tedious.

Hello and welcome to the site! We can always use more people on Hapes (Inner Rim), were the Women hold all the power and everybody is filthy stinking rich. It's mostly political intrigue and business based RP, with the occasional assassination attempt and band of raiders, but those are rare. The Hapes Consortium is made up of 63 planets, only 2 of which have any story to flesh them out in the novels, leaving the rest for completely open to creative license (e.g. I have taken the liberty of making the planet Jodaka a compete water world based on the short description provided on wookieepedia). The Hapans are also a Royalty/Bloodline based society so I've been running with planets governed by Dukes and Arch Duchesses (no Arch Dukes since women have always held a higher place in their society) save Hapes itself which is headed by the Queen Mother who is followed around by her descendants (all very boring people [just kidding ]) Anyways, the blue words are links to their wookieepedia pages if you are interested in reading up on our back story, but feel free to check out what we have written so far on the Hapes board itself if your interested in our writing Again, welcome to the site and I wish you luck in finding your place here. -Scarlett

Things are about to get interesting on Serenno. Spying, intrigue, double-agents and the like. All to remove a certain invader group.

Okay. So everybody is being nice and polite.
I'm going to fill that other role. If you ever need to have your mind violated to such a point where you are warped into a broken and willing paragon of someone else's thought test, then call me.
Actually, just do whatever it is you'll do.
If you're interesting, you'll know.
See you then!

A kryptonian, eh? Interesting...
I've got some ideas for a character to play opposite your pacifist powerhouse if you want to start on a hero/villain note, though in all likelihood the "villain" would end up giving up his evil pursuits because he has a similar "grown in a tube and experimented on" backstory. 'Cept he didn't escape or lose his memory. Nope, he's still a slave/weapon to the guy that created him, and he'll remain a villain until that changes.
And if that idea doesn't suit you, I'd love to hear about the ideas YOU have and see if I can't work one of my other characters into one of them. Send me a private message when you get a chance and we can talk stuff over if you want.

Haha, I almost thought nobody would notice my "Kryptonian" similarities. I'd love to collaborate with you on this. Well, actually, I'm going to take Gukky's advice. It's crazy, but I guess I'm going to try to be a little omnipresent and see where or what happens. Lol, maybe I'll have a little fun encounter with myself from another storyline. That'll be like some weird time-paradox parody.
Major, thank you so much for the uh...welcome. But my mind's already a little messed up, the last thing I need is to be messed up even more. I mean, I don't even know if I do talk like this!
But on the other hand, I am indeed here to explore every avenue of writing along with my skills and to see what I can and cannot do, so I guess we should talk about this some more.
Captain Scarlett, aren't the Hapans kinda...very confident and self-assured? Either way, expect me to drop by soon...or one of me anyway.
Dred and Dante, offer accepted. One clueless little potentially fake countess coming up.
Anven Firestar (I like your name), could you tell me more about what you do, please?

Great, good for you.
Pardon Major. She has no sense of subtlety. Do not, under any circumstances get into a van with a creepy lady offering candy.That's the Major. Instead, if you ever need a check-up, here's my card. Don't worry if you can't find it, I can have a car sent to pick you up. Don't be surprised if I come and visit you a little earlier than scheduled.
Until then, adieu!

Oi there, mate, and welcome to JvS.
I'm pretty violent and not much of anything else in my writing, but I'll gladly wish you well, and offer to be as nice as the others if you need anything or have questions. If you ever need a bodyguard (which I doubt?) Or you want to learn to fight, I'll be about.
Cheers, Alkyholic.

By the way, doctor, I have this painful headache, like there’s something pressing down on my brain, and I feel as if the walls are closing in on me. Is that normal?Oi there, mate, and welcome to JvS. I'm pretty violent and not much of anything else in my writing, but I'll gladly wish you well, and offer to be as nice as the others if you need anything or have questions.

I suppose if I ever want to improve on my pillow fighting skills or upgrade my Fish Slap attacks, I know who to call.
Would you happen to know how to create a Hug-A-Holic Hand Grenade, by the way?I like your quirky profile. Thanks for stopping by to have a look, Chloro!
I live to entertain…well…almost completely. The writing begins soon. I hope you all will enjoy them. I think the proper term here will be: May the Force be with you.

Do not....I repeat....DO NOT take a medical card, or advice from Gukky. Do you even have a medical license, Gukky? (And not one from the ACME Corporation either! LOL ) Though Gukky is right about Major being a little creepy. Don't take any candy from her....it might be poisoned. *moves away from Major*
All joking aside, welcome to JvS, Krystal, and just have fun!

Avoid Gukky, Major and Chloro. Great fun, but you might find yourself with missing or extra limbs/organs.

That's paranoia speaking. Find a quiet place to lie down until the feelings pass. As you can see, *motions at Alisha Mercotti and eralam* , its quite a common feeling. Think happy thoughts.
