Well, actually, they started a few days ago with me quietly stitching things together on my GIMP program (I intend to add a some trimming to this little brain-child o' mine). Now, don't expect spectacular graphics on her, like the ones you see on them Advanced RP's, because frankly I lack the skills--and patience--to do so; things will be kept simple while still remaining true to WTPG's theme. So it goes without saying, the RP (Story, Setting, Cast... sticky) will have a new facade. (The next update will have a link to my TF-Thread with what I've come up with so far.)
What I need from you: *I like to know your thoughts on whether the new face should extend toward the other stickies (RRG, OOC, Hiatus, etc.). While I am willing to take the make-over to that extent, I must warn you that the RPG's hiatus period will be much longer. (Quote me in the "Plot & Discussion" sticky with your thoughts.)
*I'd also like to know your thoughts on having The End Is The Begining - Smashing Pumpkins as WTPG's theme song. (Quote me in the "Plot & Discussion" sticky with your thoughts.)
*I will be creating a new character skeleton, so now's a good time to start working on those histories, personas, and abilities. (Please, remember to downplay the abilities and weaponry, for now. More details on this to come.)
*Start looking for those faceclaims. What is a faceclaim? Simply put: they are the images you use as visual references for your characters. I like consistency: so, I kindly ask that if you have a profile with anime/comic book/video game image as your faceclaim, please search for photos of actual people (models, celebrities, atheletes, etc.)--which brings me to my next point. Please, do not use A-Listers and other mainstream Red Carpet faves (no to Angelina Jolie, Lebron James, and Cindy Crawford; even music artists--no); certain television celebs, relatively unknown actors, and models are okay. (As soon as the character development sticky is opened, you may post your finds there.) --I have faceclaims for: Zedd, Trikks, Alex, Constantine, Morgan, Haru, Cookie, Archie, and Marie. --Still waiting on: Bloody, Rae, Zen, Levi, Matthew, and Quentin. (Quentin will be a difficult faceclaim to search for.)
Things done so far: *4 stickies created and named. (Content still under construction.) --Character Development (Post faceclaims, profiles, and seek help with your characters, here.) --Recap (Brief overview of each chapter will go, here.) --"How's my driving?" (Tell your DM/GM how they're doing, here.) --Q & A Regarding In-Thread Announcements (Post your questions and concerns regarding announcements posted within the main RP threads, here.)

Another note on the faceclaims: Please, do not submit a twenty-year old model for your elderly characters; the only exceptions to the rule are the androids.
Alrighty, this is turning into a much bigger project than I thought. I can't promise the renovations will be done in a week (or even two weeks), but I assure you that I am working as quickly as I can.
Again, I lack skill and patience, so with that in mind, this is what I have so far: *
Fairytales sabihin ng isang magiting kabalyero, armas sa nagniningning nakasuot, rushing off sa ilang mga makapangyarihang kabayo upang i-save ang dalagita sa pagkabalisa.
Ay ilang medyo magaspang na araw sa huling anim na buwan at kagabi ay walang mga pagbubukod. Pagod na sa pagse-yanked mula sa isang nayon sa isa pang - at pagkatapos ay isa pang - ang aking limitasyon para sa pasensya ay whittled pababa sa lapad ng isang pahina ng notebook, bago ilang mga pangyayari sa wakas durog ito sa dust.
Aking init ng ulo nakuha ang pinakamahusay na ng sa akin.
Sa nakalipas na buwan, nakakakuha swingy sa solido na bagay ay naging aking lamang outlet; ngunit hindi ko maaaring gawin na kung saan ako ay walang nagiging sanhi ng isang eksena. Sa mga tunay na alam sa akin maunawaan na ang pagpipigil sa sarili ay hindi isa sa aking malakas na mga puntos at na tamping pababa ang aking galit mahaba sapat na upang gumawa ng isang tawag sa telepono - walang masusuka aking telepono, una - ay isang mapahamak na malapit sa imposible kahang-hangang gawa. Ngunit pinamamahalaang kong gumawa mga tawag...
((This layout will grace every post in the RRG and SSC stickies only; the other stickies will only have it in the first post.))
*This is what you can expect to be done to your faceclaims:
((So remember: I need images of REAL people. Please, do not select anime/manga/video game/comic book characters or digitally painted/generated people.))
What I need from you now: **Your thoughts on a having a sort of "museum" sticky featuring types of transportation and weaponry. ((Please, quote me in the "Plot & Discussion" sticky with your thoughts.))

Completed Projects: *New facades have been created and added to all the threads. *Story, Setting and Cast Sticky renamed "Intro, Story, Cast, & Other Info" Sticky. *Casting list now includes new faceclaims. *"Intro" Sticky now includes the RPG's theme song (The End Is The Beginning Is The End by The Smashing Pumpkins). *New stickies open for posting: Character Development, "How's my driving?", and In-Thread Announcements- Q & A.
Additional announcement: I've invited and employed my mule to handle my [NPC]s and other characters left in my care (e.g. Matthew); Captain Madman-Gen Marks will be interacting with other players. If players create [NPC]s, they are responsible for those [NPC]s.
Completed Projects: * Wanderlust Thread is complete. You may now view some of the places the story may take our characters.
To-Do List: *User Profile Sticky- I'll be taking a break before getting started the thread's facade and making things all pretty. In the meantime, I'll only be creating the character skeleton. I will be quoting you all with an announcement, later in the week. *Museum- Will work on this some time after the user profiles. *Correcting format on the Guidelines Post; low priority.

*A basic character skeleton (along with sample) has been developed and can be found here. Please, do not post finished profiles in the development thread; instead, send your finished profiles to me via PM.
I may have jumped the gun with the profile skeleton, so if you've already completed a few I do sincerely apologize. I've updated the skeleton to include "Persona"; figure out your characters out and sum them up in one neat little paragraph if you don't mind~

Hey guys!
I know the current skeleton says to give a brief history, but you could go ahead an nix that; Zedd's history proved to be a little longer than "brief". So, feel free to expand on that if you wish. Also, I adjusted some of the coding.
Just want to let you know that the user profile thread is up and operational. Check it out. Also, if you're still working on a profile, don't rush; just send it to me once you've finished with it. 3nodding

Hey guys,
Just a few updates with the cast and user profiles.
Please, welcome new [NPC], Sulphur Stephano: Sulphur was created by Darkerdemons for her personal use. Like all [NPC]s Sulphur will be able to interact with other characters, but will not have a huge role to play.
User profile update: I was dissatisfied with Trikks' profile picture, so I reverted back to her previous reference:
Other updates: Well, it seems all the threads are up and running, with exception of the "Museum" thread.
Hey guys, just giving you the heads up that the character development thread now doubles as a literary analysis thread. Post your work, seek help and constructive criticism, and improve.
For the time being, the header will remain the same until I can find the time to change it.
