    Asphit flashed his hand across the screen, clicking at the name without even attempting to see if it was online. He didn't care, he had to know that he was okay. Yeah, Lakshmi had never really accepted him as a moirail, but he'd always been there to pick him up when he screwed up. To keep him alive when he screwed up. And he'd failed him.

    I get the feeling everyone's lost interest.

    Yeah, it was pretty much just me and you keeping this going, but i suppose i should have officially closed it down but i never got around to it. It was good while it lasted though and it's a shame it fell through.

    Yea. I wish we could have continued this; there was definitely potential for a good story and, believe it or not, this was actually my first online roleplaying experience. Oh well.

    I suppose since we're closing this down, I might as well share my character's backstory:

    Re: Trollslum2: Team 'Beat everyone else and win first'

    lol, that's pretty good. I had all kinds of plans for the plot direction, most involving time travel shenanigans.

    I'd been drumming a fair bit of foreshadowing into the idea that future Asphit was being pursued by something and at the same time heading towards something inevitable that had to happen to ensure a stable timeloop. I was going to kill future Asphit. Relatively soon in the linear timeline, but i was planning to milk it for all it was worth. Ya see, he thinks he's on his last life anyway (he never had a dreamself while playing the game) so he knows this is a suicide run but he's also trying to buy time for his friends (see other players) by distracting the big bad and while dying sending that bastard careening through time as far as he could send him. Techniquely his future self just stole the dreamself before Asphit or anyone else ever woke up, but this is a moot point as no one would have known that. I was actually going to have him die in PB's land, preferably in front of her.

    The memo thing was another time travel plot hook, but mostly in that i was going to have the up and coming big bad hijack a computer and use Asphits 'battle plan' memo as a means of knowing what they're up to and generally screwing everyone over until they worked it out.

    The big bad itself was only partially thought out though, i needed something that would be too difficult for our characters to fight but we weren't going to get anything game breaking like a first guardian prototype. I think i was toying with the idea of a character who managed to get his hands on both queen rings or was receiving outside help from somewhere. in terms of personality i was probably going to wing that as it came.

    Re: Trollslum2: Team 'Beat everyone else and win first'

    I see that you also put some thought into this. That could have been fun.

    Personally, I hadn't really planned out what Snargoss would do in the future, it was going to primarily depend on what the other characters did. While the details were going to be left to chance, however, there was one major plan I had for him:
    You may have noticed how he has a tendency to hide things, putting on a front of being confident and calm (his blood is blue, but his text is red, he doesn't tell anyone about the destruction caused by Sgrub and keeps his backstory to himself, and he often is shown having worries and fears that he keeps completely to himself). The game was going to force him to reveal these secrets, and ultimately force him to realize that he's even been hiding things from himself. If you noticed from his backstory, he essentially doomed a game session, he was stuck for a very long time in a time loop, and not only would he have to struggle to survive and somehow escape, but having no prior experience with time travel, he would likely have more than a few dead selves lying around the place, and finally when he escaped, he was forced to live entirely on his own (aside from his lusus). All this happened at a very young age. He was understandably traumatized and he shut the horror of that experience way back in the back of his mind. Even his love of the fantasy genre stemmed from a desire to escape reality. Forced to start revealing his secrets, among witch being his backstory, and also forced to once again deal with time travel, he was going to essentially dig up and face with the horror he had hidden away. I'm not sure how well, or even how, I was going to do this, but I was going to give it a try.

    It's actually kind of interesting the way he has come to be what he is now; originally when I made the character, he was just intended to be an average internet geek, with a few similarities to myself. Heck, I was even thinking of having jokes revolving around his "kismesis type fetish for cats." All this stuff about inner trauma that I've written here came entirely from the single line in his description, "Due to interuniversal time travel shenanigans, you have gained access to the HUMAN INTERNET," and I only had a faint idea what his backstory was going to be like when we started this thread.

    Edit: Well I suppose there isn't really any reason for me to check this thread anymore; goodbye.
