Welcome to the Land of Danar (I suck at names, somebody give me a better name pls, i beg of you). Anyway, this shall be the designated sign-up page, which I'm sure the oldies are quite familiar with.
For all of you new guys: the basic gist of story sign-ups is you get to create a character that I will be using in my story. Every week, a new page/chapter/part/what have you will come out (unless this crashes and burns in a dumpster fire), and you guys can follow along, watching the story unfold. It's a bit of an old tradition that we used to do, and I always thought it was a lotta fun, even if these stories rarely ever got finished, and most barely started.
Some key details about your character are:
personality
race/appearance
occupation (yes hobos count as an occupation)
gear/weapons (if any)
basic backstory (optional)
Those are kinda the basic traits that I need, but if there's anything else that I need to know, throw it in there. Also, if you couldn't tell be the intro, humans are quite rare in the world that I am creating, so I'd like you guys to get creative with the races. You can create your own races, and if you do, I'd like some details about your race's particular traits. You can make a human, if you really want to, but they are a rare species and I'm not sure how I can fit in a bunch of them at once. As the characters come in, I will start solidifying the basic series events floating around in my head, and will approve each character as necessary. I may ask you to adjust your character just a little bit if it doesn't quite fit with the story, but I'm pretty lenient with these kinds of things. Eventually, I'll close the sign-ups, but, until then, it'll be open for a few days. Have fun with it!

[spoiler]And a bit of a sidenote: I'm not the best writer in the world, so I could use all the criticism I can get. And if you're going to criticize, don't be afraid to be mean; I've been a diqhead plenty of times on this forum, so my self-esteem can take a few hits and I'll be better off. Thank you![/spoiler]

All he knows is that decades ago, his village was wiped out by war. On the brink of death, he was brought back by “The Ashes,” a collective of all tortured souls in [insert your version of Hell]. The voices are constantly in his head, urging him to fulfill their debts. Anytime he fulfills a soul’s debt, it leaves him and moves on into the next life. Once he fulfills every debt, then he too will finally leave this world and move on. He may allow a soul to temporarily take over his body if he feels they need to complete the debt themselves.[/i]
