Yes, as Tegan said, Ilium is the direct OPPOSITE of most RPs on the web. I've been on sites where if you so much as make another character BLINK you get kicked out for hijacking. Likewise, I've been in roleplays where the only hero is the GM's self-insert and everyone else has follow him around and tell him how great he is.

We can probably all recite those 90s rules by heart. NO HIJACKING, NO GODMODING, NO SWEARING, NO SEX SCENES, POST EVERY HOUR OR YOUR CHARACTER WILL BE KILLED.
We don't subscribe to that. If you want to smash through the Jade Prophet's window, rip his head off and have sex with his wife while calling his pet dog a cunt, then go for it. If it's written well, if it's entertaining - if it's a good read and sends the story in a cool direction - then what more could we ask for?
Tegan and I have no time to be protagonists. We're running around in the background with paintbrushes and nailguns. Which means the story-drivers are YOU. This scene is the tale of how Ayanne, Valyrin, Kozoul, Gomyar, Konkon and Aela dealt with shit that would have killed anyone else less plucky.
In a year's time when we are deep into this war, you guys are going to be the legends that started it all. So let's get your characters arcing.

Okay, thread unlocked. Time to show these spores some feist.
