I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where people who are new to the site can say hi, maybe tell us a few things about themselves if they want, ask questions about the other users and staff, that sort of thing. So, welcome, to all of you that still feel a bit new here! Please, feel free to introduce yourselves in this thread so we can all get to know you a little better! To start, I'll let everyone know a little bit about me, and I suggest any of you members that have been here for a while do the same the first time you post here. This will give people a bit of insight into what each of us are like, and what to expect from us. Yall can call me KBell; I'm here to basically make sure we keep things here as realistic as possible (in a fiction RP, as dumb as that sounds, xD), the RPing as fair as possible (so long as people are treated the same, good or bad, I consider it fair), and all around, as fun as possible. I want the peoples' voices to be heard, and I want the mods and admins to listen. I can usually be found on cbox (I might be afk doing something, but I tend to check in every 10-20 minutes when I'm not too busy) to answer any questions about how RPing is handled, or where to find things on the site. I'm also pretty familiar with all the up to date with all the manga chapters released in Japan so far (up to 363 I believe), so if you have any questions about that, I love to talk about the manga, and will always be willing to discuss that sort of thing as well. Other things I'm into include judo/jujitsu, boxing, most sports, horseback riding, the outdoors, computers, video games, smoking, and drinking. edit: I may come off as a bit of an asshole sometimes, but I'm usually just trying to play devil's advocate or give some constructive criticism. I know my personality can be a bit abrasive at times, but try not to take anything I say too seriously; it's pretty hard to make me genuinely angry

Well, I just can say thanks for the topic (Not like it was directed only to me, but I'm grateful.... a bit), so I'll try to follow the instrunctions
I'm here by more than a month, but i didn't even started playing, but I'm really looking foward to. I think almost anyone know me, but is ok, I'm not so active this days, but I'm usually at the cbox (when I'm online of course)
I'm not so good at english because It's not my natural language, but i think i can make it here... Ussually I get angry easily depending on the subject and I often like to be a pain in the ass, but this is only when I start to fell more "welcomed"... Think of it like I only need time to become an annoyance lol
And I'm always up-to-date with the manga too, I like to discuss thinks like the system of the things and how it really works, so... that's it. I think lol

Alright I saw this thread up the other day and thought...what could I say about myself? Ya, know I'm a pretty easy-going guy with reasonable requests in life, but not much came to mind really. So, I'll just give it a go and see where it takes me. Here I go...my past in a nutshell...minus the nut, but a shell nonetheless... I first came to this site about 2 and almost 3 years ago. I had no clue who everyone was, but I was already a fan of Gantz the anime and was looking for episodes off the internet, because I was sick of waiting for them to pop up on the anime network. I eventually moved onto the manga from there and found myself having a source for gantz and another for virtually the only gantz rping site around. As for how much of a big Gantz Fan I am...scroll back up to where you saw "2 and almost 3 years". Yep, I'm a big fan of the manga and the anime, but I read the manga in bulk so I'm usually behind when your most likely ahead. So if you tell me a spoiler I'll probably be hella fucking pissed off. As for the anime I watched all the episodes and unlike most...I actually enjoyed it. The anime had feeling and emotion that can't be expressed in the manga and that's why I liked it even with the ending. It got me running to the manga so it did exactly what the product was meant to do...right? To be entirely honest...even I was too a noob once and especially back when I first came, but man...I was also a real jackass...hell I still am Gawdammit and I'll probably be the most cocky overzealous nukka that you'll ever see in power. I'm the guy who brought on trumpet dookie, "Who's Misa Misa", invented G-status and whole lot of other shit that's annoyed the hell out of ppl. Why shouldn't I be an ass about it ya know? Upon arriving to this site, I was the only black guy (I mean it!) and I really wasn't too big on rping what-so-ever. So, as I waited to get accepted to a project I spent most of my time spamming in the game section and antagonizing the people in power. This isn't recommended, but I was bored... Eventually, I began getting the attention I craved and was accepted in Project Southern. There I rp'd in probably one of the best Projects on the site at the time and even went on to mod The Comedy Project and Second Chances. (in which I sadly deleted...before renaming it The Revival Project ) With Second Chances (The Revival Project) I wanted to branch off into an after-life from death in gantz. This way if a role players character died they would hop immediately into a series of missions to get back into gantz. Too bad it was deleted...but it will be coming back! Anyways, I basically had the opportunity of witnessing a lot of the site's history, feuds, pros and cons that a lot of newcomers nowadays weren't able to see. This site has come a long way and my goal is to see it succeed after it has survived so long. We've identified what has been setting us back in the past and slowly, but surely I'm noticing A LOT of improvement. Okay, maybe I might have a soft spot for you bastards...then again maybe I don't, but that's not the point. I'm currently admin to help improve the site and when thats done I'll be in power until the black president is shot. As an admin and a fellow forum bud I hope you newcomers can have fun and enjoy the new additions yet to come onto the site! I'm here by more than a month, but i didn't even started playing, but I'm really looking foward to. I think almost anyone know me, but is ok, I'm not so active this days, but I'm usually at the cbox (when I'm online of course) I'm not so good at english because It's not my natural language, but i think i can make it here... Ussually I get angry easily depending on the subject and I often like to be a pain in the ass, but this is only when I start to fell more "welcomed"... Think of it like I only need time to become an annoyance lol Sorry Ecker, I'm glad your being patient with us as we move things along as smoothly and quick as possible through the holiday slowdown. Hopefully, in the near future I'll have my next mission, for project eastern up and ready for you to participate. And...no I'm not going to sit here, force feed, and sell you my project, but I'm not going to lie to you either. Its a good ass role playing experience and I made it to compensate for and branch off from monotonous rps that you probably are accustomed to. Project Eastern is the real deal and hopefully you'll agree with me as soon as the next mission starts or better yet...MmMmMm...when Eastern wins Project Collision, Ahaaa!

First of all let me thank Kbell for starting this great thread which i didn't see the benefit of at first glance. I'm one of the veterans. I was here even before GmR and Jpimpin, which I believe are the second generation (I'll explain this in a bit). Anyway, me, Defectron and Demonicmuse (these two were here before me) are the last ones left from the original guys. Back in the day things weren't running so smoothly and there was no growth. It was fun, but it wasn't the best it could be. Shortly after me GmR and Jpimpin arrived at Southern (at the time named Room 4) they annoyed the hell out of me with their god-modding. Clearly I didn't realize they would become two of the most influential people on this forum. So this is my tribute to them. As time progressed I started to become the laughing stock of the forum. I didn't care, I thought it was funny too. I was the one putting myself in those situations. A few more months passed and I had to leave. I had issues with my real life and this forum was addictive. I checked in everyday for an update and would stay on for hours hoping for one. When I came back I was more serious. I had my life straightened out and was back in the game. I have tried many things that have burned on this forum and some who have succeeded. I tried to make an animal-gantz mission, burned. mod a mission, burned. Mod a mission where players could roleplay an alien, burned. Luckily I have a few successes. I put up the mechanics sections and wrote the information for the weapons. And my biggest succes has been setting up the project schedules in a way that newcomers would never have to wait longer than two weeks for their characters to start roleplaying (and you'd need really bad timing to achieve that). Another thing has been asked to join the admin team. By this time Ronnie had also become an admin and had made many improvements. Before him Defectron had taken us to the next level but we needed Ronnie to go a little higher. Now with the admin team we have I am certain we can reach an even higher level. We actually have I believe but we can still go further. And when the time comes where we won't be good enough to bring the forum to a higher level we will be replaced. Because that's how it works here. It's about what's best for the forum and not for the individual. This may seem harsh but if we would tend to everyone's needs and wishes this forum would fall apart. No we should all strive to make this forum a better and more pleasent place. To explain the generations I mentioned earlier I'll first let you know that I just came up with this idea. It's formed from my point of view so don't expect it to be too objective. First there were The Formers. These were the guys that were there from the beginnng, in 2005. Like Defectron, Demonicmuse, VashonFS(you guys remember him? ) and Tearra and more of course. Then came the First Generation. This is everyone that arrived when the original creator (can't spell his name, somone help) was still in charge. The Second Generation are the ones that arrived under te lead of VashOnFS. This guy was a real pain in the ass. I'm still not completely clear on what happened but when he was removed from his power he started terrorizing this forum and even took our only female away (Tearra-Spades). He won't be bothering us anymore. The Third Generation arrived under the leadership of Defectron. Our first generation of prosperity and improvement. Thanks to defectron we started to improve, even though just a little he gave us a kickstart. The Fourth Generation arrived under the leadership of GmR. It's not clearly known when he became the lead admin. He was supposed to be just one of the other two admins under Defectron, but somehow when he started doing the most for the forum and being the most active I viewed him as the leader. The Neo Generation (as I like to call it at the moment) are the ones that have arrived with the setting up of our schedules for the projects. The schedule represents the fact that we are putting more structure in our forum. We are striving for ever higher grounds. The members that join now may enjoy the benefits of a forum who has learned to walk confidently after a slouching for more than three years. all it needs to do now is learn to run very, very, fast.

Gee, that guy GmR, sure sounds like a pretty cool dude. Yeah, but Tjad pretty much summed everything up except for the falsely accused god-modding aspect of yours truly. As a matter of fact I'm gonna set this shit straight. If you'd like, Tjad... click here and I'll solve this case by taking you on a trip down memory lane... Other then that I gotta say I weeped a tear or two after reading that. Now I know I'm truly appreciated...oh gaaaaaaaaawd...

hmm... alright, im nate, or wolf, i dont care which I am new, been here for a month or so just waiting for project to start up, i guess ill tell you a small bit of my RPing experience... the first site i RPed on was Final Dragonball RPG (thats right Dragonball Z based) its pretty much dead now, but i stayed completely active in that site for about 3 years before its downfall (and it was around for about 2 before i showed up) at that site i went from writing posts like "Scorpion jumps into the air. Scorpion throws a fireball. Scorpion readies to defend." (NOTE: yes my first character was scorpion from mortal kombat ) with time as everyone else im sure RPing improves to what i hope i am right now, a decent to good RPer... I was a mod on that site for a while before i went into the national guard and was away for 6 months or so for training and when i got back, the site was dead. I had a couple small stints on other RPing sites, zombie based, another DBZ one, a couple others i dont remember but they were very low quality with crappy players and crappier management. This site looks much more professional and i look forword to workin with ya tword gantz - i first started into gantz (the anime) when i was in my army training we had so much free time and money to waste i spent well over 1g-2g on just anime DVD's (pathetic i know haha) but gantz was one of the ones i got, i really didnt like the ending too preachy i thought, but everything leading up to it i loved and eventually i read reviews and learned that the manga kept going yaddayadda and now im completely hooked to the series and am slowly getting my friends hooked on it. I am always completely up to date on it.

I guess it's my turn... I'm the forum chink JPimpin. I came here two months after Ronnie since he's the one who introduced me to the site. When he first joined he used to tell me about this site and I thought it was pretty cool, but the only problem was I had dial-up with a WHOLE LOT of spyware. So i ended up registering at Ronnie's house one day and been on ever since. I started out like I wanna do sumthin different, so I got the crazy idea to make a ninja and surpringly no one else made one. Since I made JPimpin I immediately caught Defectron's attention, but I dont know if that was a good thing or not. So As a noob I started out just like the rest of you and in my entire site career, or whatever u wanna call it, I've only god-modded twice. The first was in Southern which i tried to imitate Naruto and got my eggroll char broiled and the other in the comedy project, back when Ronnie used to mod it, where i was pissed and shitted on, attempted suicide, but ended up still alive I became mod simply because I offered to try something. We were trying to fill in staff positions after some of the older members left and I wanted to try something with Stat-Based when it was still around. i looked at the system and understood why it failed in the first place, the system was way too complicated but it was a pretty good system. So I said I'll try it one day then the next day I was mod. I ended up reviving Stat-based and kept it going for 6 missions. After that I felt I should take it upon myself to fix all the good ideas we had that ended up failing for some reason. So that lead me to the Forever Mission. I worked on the Forever Mission with it's original creator Nexas and we ended up figuring out wut had to stay and wut needed to go. However when it was time to start there was a dispute between him and KBell over who should be admin and then I lost a whole lot of respect for Nexas. So he left and i took over the Forever Mission and did it the way I had envisioned it, and I must say it's much better than the way Nexas wanted to do it. All the while I've been like the behind the scenes guy giving opinions where I feel they need be said. And like Ronnie i too am a jackass ;D what can i say I learn from the best. I was also supposedly Nexas' successor according to Nexas, but I never liked him in the first place he had bad grammar and spelling lol. In conclusion I'm a martial artist. I've studied four styles and have had exposure to many more. I know Tang Soo Do, Hapkido, Kenpo, and Shoto-Kan, but I take some techniques from Muay Thai and Tae Kwon Do cuz they fit my style (Lots of kicks and the knees and elbows when in close proximity). I'm a big gamer just like every other teenaged Asian kid as well as an artist. I'm supposed to be doing sum pictures for the site but time is kinda short, but i will get the up eventually. I'm friendly as long as u dont catch me at a bad time, like Southern, and i answer questions since i usually lurk on the c-box when im bored or feel like sitting in my chair. So yeah welcome all and make characters for the Forever Project!

Since everyone is doing it, and if everyone is doing it, it is cool, and everyone that is not cool wants to be cool so we bow to peer pressure!
*ahem*
Anyways, I'm Puppet Balance, PB, Peanut Butter, but that's just on this site. I have a long list of other names I use. Peanut Butter was the nickname Jp gave to me since I was giving everyone else weird nicknames.
I'm most recognisable as having white text, almost everytime I post I make sure I put in the tags to make white text. I arrived I think near the turn over between Defectron and Ronnie. I saw some eps of the Gantz anime, but couldn't find that many for it, but when I read that there was a manga, I switched imeadiately to that (and I knew a website that had all the manga chapters). So, after reading all the manga there was at the time for Gantz, I went onto google, as well as invisionfree, searching for a Gantz rp site. Just so happened I stumbled across here through google.
Anyways, I tend to be a lil random in my moods. Usually I goof off making jokes that no one else can understand without explanation... and usually get taken the wrong way. Other times, who knows? I also am the guy that plans out everything several moves in advance. And if anything changes, I'm capable of creating several alternate plans on the spot (not an exageration). I'm also arrogant. And I've said to much.
One last thing, no one on this site has seen what I actually look like. They've only seen my fully garbed look. And as far as I remember, only Defectron has done that before, and he eventually revealed himself.
To conclude: I'm the man with the plan!

.....Well damn nothing else to do so. I'm Nishi/a.k.a./ Emo Cammy.....yes Emo Cammy, you can all thank JPimpin for the random actions that lead to the 'Cammy' situation. Anyway I'm not really all that great at keeping track of dates so I'm not too sure when exactly I first got into Gantz, most likely about 4 or 5 years ago, or somewhere around there. I started out watching the anime but wasn't able to watch the whole thing, at some point I found out about the manga and was extremely confused as to why the manga seemed longer then the anime. So I switched over to the manga and well if not for that probable would have never found this site. I was on another site attempting to do their own version of Gantz mission's in their rp, at some point during that someone posted over at that web site with a link to this one. I followed the link and liked what I saw, so I stayed. ;D Thanks to the wise words of JPimpin I stuck through the 'good' times, and 'bad'......such as Cammy's 'Pancakes'........ Now that I think about it I don't think there really was that many bad times for me here so far. Anyway after the whole 'super emo' thing, things started picking up and I took part in more of the projects. Hmmm.....I don't think I really missed anything....except that damn video Ronnie showed me that managed to scar whats left of my scared mind...Oh unless you cant tell I'm depressed out my friggin eye balls.

Nope never took my mask off
Anyway since everyones making introductions here guess I should too. Yeah I'm one of the people who was here from the beginning. Back then I brought in the character Oniko who at the time was my only character. This is funny because it lead some people here to think I was a girl because I had a female character.
Basically I'm famous for writing really wrong weird stuff
I think the wrongest thing I've ever written for this site is the yaoi make out scene between Tjads disembodied zombie head and mini Dean in comedy gantz. Yeah that was pretty awful.
I was also the first person to have a storyarc in the gantz rpgs. Most of this I had planned out around the third mission . Though at the moment it appears things have run into some problems. But I plan try to fix that stuff in the next mission so hopefully that'll go smoothly.
I also am famous for playing tricks on people, calling Jpimpin Jpipin and pwning anyone who tries any funny business.

Gawd... I had forgotten about that... Eww.... Anyways, I figure I'll introduce m'self as well seeing as how I'm a mod an' all. How's it going friends? My name is Dane (But you can call me Dane.) I've not even been on this site for a whole year yet (I think about eight months now or so.), but I've quickly risen in status, so all you noobs, don't worry! Someday you can be a winner too! So, I moderate northern project now and am hoping that it turns out really well and can possibly (Though I doubt it) be on par with Southern and Eastern in terms of story and badassness. I suppose I'm part of the "neo generation". And, as probably most of the mods on this site could tell you, I like Kato, hence the nickname to the left. Lessee... I first started watching Gantz way back in 2004 when it first came on Anime Network on demand, but it was severely edited (They compressed the first four episodes into two (The bastards!!)). So, I was all like, "Wow, this is bloody brilliant!" and went out and bought the first two dvds and was then like, "Wow! This is even more bloody brilliant!!" So, I began searching around on the internet and researching it, eventually stumbling upon the manga and read up to the buddha mission, but didn't quite finish it. (I believe that I got to the bit where Sei first started fighting thousand arms and assumed that she was gonna be a permanent member, same as Kato (But we know how that turns out...) Anyways, I kinda stopped reading it, cuz that's where the online translations ended for me. Then, a year or two ago, I found out about stoptazmo.com and began re-reading it and am now completely up to date (Apart from the just released 264.) So class, any questions? <==== I like these.

Noobs can dream but u got lucky is all. and i'm not gonna be nice and not type wut i was gonna put here originally, i dont wanna shame u in front of the noobs ;D

hmm well since tjad mentioned the oldes of the forums i was a bit hurt i was not mentioned considering i was along with dm and defectron, meaning since the forum was created. however i left shortly in the middle of mission 2 which was run by demonicmuse and at the time was the best room if i remember correctly. I didnt want to leave but some problems with the site and then i lost the site (cant remember well) Anyways i come back a month later or so to find my character dead lol. I guess i was unlucky because at the time there was no activity in the forums and i thought it was dead (ronnie still hadnt joined) Then i came back once again to check the forum (thats right i really liked this place) and found out that was still running. So i decided to create a new account just for the hell of it.
Thus this is the story of how benry was created lol. (for those who still havent guessed, go to a doctor, its me benry!)
Btw i was wondering if i could create a character with this account, even though i knwo it wouldnt be fair...
EDIT: btw look at the date this account was created and then at benry's. Exactly one year lol what a coincidence.

well i wanna use thsi acount to create a character if its allowed but that would mean me having two character in a project (if i have one already with benry) but if not i still want this account cause it has an "old" feel lol i dunno if u understand me. Also i'll use it to mess with the noobs

All you do then is repost your character threads so they're written by unforgiven. You can surely have multiple characters on one account (so multiple accounts are unnecessary and should be forbidden). I'm not sure if the rules state anything about two characters in one project but I don't think it's much of a problem since I almost had that happen to me. By the way Benry isn't as cool as Unforgiven.
