PLAYERS, PLEASE FAVORITE THIS POST TO BE POTENTIALLY FEATURED IN THE NEXT PLOT DROP.

Favorite at your own discretion as there is no backing out once you have been chosen. Being featured can mean a number of things for your character, whether they have a major role in an attack, are victimized, or have done something that may change their character in some way. It might be something drastic or something positive; however, it simply means you might have a more crucial role in the prompt meaning you may need to take on additional threads. It can be anything.

Remember, this is war. No one is safe.

MBTI CHARACTER SURVEY

                                                     ISTJ

ISTJ Strengths

Honest and Direct – Integrity is the heart of the Logistician personality type. Emotional manipulation, mind games and reassuring lies all run counter to Logisticians’ preference for managing the reality of the situations they encounter with plain and simple honesty.

Strong-willed and Dutiful – Logisticians embody that integrity in their actions too, working hard and staying focused on their goals. Patient and determined, people with the Logistician personality type meet their obligations, period.

Very Responsible – Logisticians’ word is a promise, and a promise means everything. Logisticians would rather run themselves into the ground with extra days and lost sleep than fail to deliver the results they said they would. Loyalty is a strong sentiment for Logistician personalities, and they fulfill their duties to the people and organizations they’ve committed themselves to.

Calm and Practical – None of their promises would mean much if Logisticians lost their tempers and broke down at every sign of hardship – they keep their feet on the ground and make clear, rational decisions. Peoples’ preferences are a factor to consider in this process, and Logisticians work to make the best use of individual qualities, but these decisions are made with effectiveness in mind more so than empathy. The same applies to criticisms, for others and themselves.

Create and Enforce Order – The primary goal of any Logistician is to be effective in what they’ve chosen to do, and they believe that this is accomplished best when everyone involved knows exactly what is going on and why. Unclear guidelines and people who break established rules undermine this effort, and are rarely tolerated by Logisticians. Structure and rules foster dependability; chaos creates unforeseen setbacks and missed deadlines.

Jacks-of-all-trades – Much like Analyst personality types, Logisticians are proud repositories of knowledge, though the emphasis is more on facts and statistics than concepts and underlying principles. This allows Logisticians to apply themselves to a variety of situations, picking up and applying new data and grasping the details of challenging situations as a matter of course.

ISTJ Weaknesses

Stubborn – The facts are the facts, and Logisticians tend to resist any new idea that isn’t supported by them. This factual decision-making process also makes it difficult for people with the Logistician personality type to accept that they were wrong about something – but anyone can miss a detail, even them.

Insensitive – While not intentionally harsh, Logisticians often hurt more sensitive types’ feelings by the simple mantra that honesty is the best policy. Logistician personalities may take emotions into consideration, but really only so far as to determine the most effective way to say what needs to be said.

Always by the Book – Logisticians believe that things work best with clearly defined rules, but this makes them reluctant to bend those rules or try new things, even when the downside is minimal. Truly unstructured environments leave Logisticians all but paralyzed.

Judgmental – Opinions are opinions and facts are facts, and Logisticians are unlikely to respect people who disagree with those facts, or especially those who remain willfully ignorant of them.

Hey, guys! Anyone who knows me well will tell you I’ve been reading since I was really little, and I’ve done a lot of it. It’s what led me to writing and wanting to become a writer for as long as I can remember. So I’ve read a lot throughout my life and that made this really difficult, but when I stopped to think about it, my beloved dark series came to mind immediately.

The Nevermore series was written by Kelly Creagh, and is very much centered around the mysterious life and death of Edgar Allen Poe, with a modern-times tie in. (Did I mention Poe is my favorite author of all time? Yeah. These books enabled that.) From Amazon, a description of the series is as follows:

A homage to one of America's greatest writers and a page-turning psychological mystery that is equal parts horror, humor, and romance, NEVERMORE is the story of Varen -- a Poe-fan and goth -- and Isobel -- a cheerleader and unlikely heroine. When a Lit. project pairs the two together, Isobel finds herself steadily swept into Varen's world, one that he has created in his notebook and in his mind, one where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. Isobel slowly learns that dreams can be much more powerful than she'd ever expected, and that pain and despair come in all shades. As labels of "goth" and "cheerleader" fade away, she sees more in Varen than a tall, pale outcast, and a consuming romance is braced against the ever-clearer horror that the most terrifying realities are those within our own minds. When Isobel has a single chance to rescue Varen from the shadows of his own nightmares, will she be able to save him -- and herself?

 I first discovered the series in my sophomore year of high school, which was a pretty dark time for me. I had forgotten why I loved writing, and books, which was devastating because it’s always been such a pivotal piece of me. And it’s probably cliched, whatever finding these books really propelled me into it again. They deserve so much more recognition because they really are fantastic, and I could go on about them for a long time so I’ll stop while I’m ahead.

I guess first I would like to start by saying thank you. Thank you to each and every single one of you for making this experience the best RP experience of my life. Thank you for not only being there for plotting but also for anything else I might had thrown your way. Thank you for making this group feel like a family. 

As some of you know my due date is September 12, and you can tell by how I’ve been slacking on my activity that things had been a bit hectic. I had to leave everything ready at my school since I will be taking a semester off because of the baby. I had to travel back home, and now it’s just waiting. I’ll soon be full term and then the baby could come any day after that. 

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to this wonderful group.

I will miss you guys a lot; you were a great part of my life. And some of you know that the first time I had to step away from the group was when I found out I was pregnant so I can honestly say you guys have been with me from beginning to end in this pregnancy. So thank you so much for that. Also this was the first time I’ve ever played Alastor or any character like him, it was an adventure and I’m glad I was able to share it with you guys. I hope I can come back in the future when things have settle down a bit more, I think it’s long overdue to let someone else pick up Alastor and keep the plot going.

Thank you for everything. Keep up the good work, and keep making the RP community a better place.
