Welcome to Everlost! Just face the fact...you're dead. Unless, of course, you're a skinjacker, then your body is in a coma, and your soul lies in Everlost. Skinjacker or not, you are no longer living. You are an Afterlight, embrace it, until you are ready to move on. You know that coin in your pocket? Don't lose it! It's your ticket out of here, when it's time for you to go. Pay attention, because if you are on living world too long you shall sink, that goes to all Greensouls, or just awoken Afterlights, find a deadspot. A deadspot is solid ground for any Afterlight. You have slept for nine months as an Interlight, and now are in Everlost. If you find yourself beginning to forget your name, that's alright. Find a nickname that you can remember. Your appearance is what you died in, unless you forget it. For example, if you remember you had long hair, that is going to be your best feature. If you find yourself beginning to do repetitive activities, don't be afraid to change it up a bit! Choose your path, and get going!

¥ This is great, I wish my first roleplay was like this. Compared to mine, this is gold. I've also read the book series, whose you favorite character? ¥
A.ge "Ah...when I died, I was 16, so I still consider myself 16, though I'm aware that it's been far longer." Na.me "Cabel's the name, Cabel Jackson Cole to be exact, I'm glad I can still remember that." How you died; "It was typical, a car crash. I was driving with my best friends, Anna and Jack on the freeway in Chicago. It was mid-winter, and we hit a patch of black ice. Next thing I knew, I woke up here, fresh after my nine month's sleep. I woke up alone, but I'm glad my friends survived, even if I didn't." What you died in i.e; "Although it was mid-winter, January to be exact, I was dressed for warmer weather, with my striped grey t-shirt,varying in different hues, my black winter vest, my pants were basic black jeans, and my shoes are size-11 vans. Around my wrist I had a bracelet in which a friend had given me, inscribed with my first name 'Cabel' a token which has greatly allowed me to keep a remembrance of my name. The only other thing I had was my blue I-pod nano, fifth gen, and it's matching Barbuda." Occupation: "I'm a finder." Bio/ what you did when you were alive: "I lived a normal life, I suppose, but I never had a job...I was kinda too young." |

| What does this being his first roleplay change? Does it somehow force this to become original and absolutely outstanding? No, it doesn't. Whether this is his first roleplay, or his one-hundredth, it'd still be unoriginal by being based off a novel. I'm just teaching him by being cruel. It's the best way to teach. |

Z0rr0w, everything on this forum is unoriginal, to some extent.
You act like it's a big deal. I can't imagine why. |

| But this is unoriginal to a greater extent by having the world directly ripped from something already made. |

This is based on something, isn't it?
Something dumb.

| The error is ripping directly from something instead of being at least somewhat original which is lazy and bad. |

He's only using the same concepts and the same setting as in the series. The characters, the story, and the plot will all be original, I imagine.
Since when does the quality or value of an RP depend solely on the plot? |

| It doesn't depend solely on the plot, but depends partly on the plot. If you have an overly derivative or boring plot, there's a high chance the RP will just be awful. |

It's about Limbo.
Two morons die and are sent to heaven, but they screw up and slip into limbo for some reason.
It's dumb. Very dumb. Like if I were to make a webcomic about two african americans going on an adventure through R'lyeh stupid. |

It reads like autistic fanfiction.
It's like My Little Pony turned up to 11, in terms of autistic-ness.
But that would just be homestuck, wouldn't it? |
