Well, as the title says, I'm posting this for two reasons.
First and foremost, hi! My real name is Rachel (my display name of Heather is just temporary) and I've been roleplaying for about 7 months now. I'm currently active on 2 Blade the Series rp sites and 1 other Underworld site, so I'm not really a newbie at all this. I love vampire/werewolf stories, movies, books, lore, etc and love to rp in these worlds.
My second reason for posting this is I'm wondering if ya'll consider this board still active? I see that the last post (other than this one) was made on Jan. 23, almost a month ago. For a board having the number of members that this one has, a month without any new posts is quiet a long time. So I'm wondering if anyone out there is still interested in roleplaying here?
I figured I'd ask before I took all the time and energy to create a new character application. I have a character in mind, but she's still gray-scaled if you know what I mean. I haven't colored her in just yet (meaning I'm still working her out).
I would love to hear back for ya'lls to hear what everyone here as to say on this subject.
Thank you for your time.

Well thanks Melissa. You're right, it does seem that nobody is posting anymore. That's just my luck, I join a rp site and then everybody leaves. If I'm lucky I get to play for about a month before people start leaving.
Oh well. So I see you're in Australia. Cool. I've always wanted to visit Australia; Australia and Scottland. I live in US in Indiana.

Cool! I'd love to visit the Us, the UK and Budapest (cause I want to see where Underworld was filmed) I'm glad I have someone to talk to on here. All the posts I've seen where like updated in 2005. I just thought wow. If only I'd been on here sooner! BTW Whats Indiana like?

Yeah...Budapest is going on my list too. They said though that while they were filming Underworld, the city was starting to reconstruct the buildings and such. so I guess we need to get down there soon before they ruin some of the beautiful buildings that was in the movie.
Right now...in February...Indiana is awful. OUr weather is the weirdest in the US. In the winter, it is brutally cold, with windchills in the -20 degress (ferenhidt by the way). In the summer, because I'm in southern Indiana, it is brutally hot. NOt only is it hot, but it is extremely humid. It's like walking outside and breathing liquid air. Sometimes you feel like you're drowing in it, it's so humid.
But...during the spring and fall...Indiana has some of the most beautiful weather avaliable. Though the weather is sometimes really bad...I wouldn't trade it for anything. Beautiful rolling hills covered in forests thicker than molasses in wintertime.
But anyway...enough about that. Where do you live exactly in Australia? I must admit, I dont' know a whole lot about the continent, but I do know that depending on where you live, you either have dry hottness or like tropical weather.

I live in NEW SOUTH WALES. It is very hot at the moment which bites cause I'm still at school (though I'm in my final year) anyway about Budapest: that sucks. I hope they don't take down that awesome mansion where the vampires in Underworld lived. I love Underworld to pieces!

Congradulations about your final year of school! Forgive me, but I don't know a whole lot about Australia's school system. It might be the same as here, or not...don't know. I'm a second seminester Freshman at my college, so not quiet a Sophomore (2nd year) yet.
Yes, you are right, Viktor's mansion is amazing! In the speicial features of my dvd, they said that when the crew was begining filming, the interior regions of Budapest was begining to be renovated, you know, cleaned up and repainted kind of thing. So the crew was forced to shoot in the outer city regions. If that's the case, maybe some of all those cool buildings are still in the same condition as in the movie. Just kinda depends on how fast those people are renovating.
I think I'm going to go ahead and finish my character for this site. If I don't get much action here, then I'm considering using the same character in another Underworld site I found just a couple of days ago. Killing two birds with one stone I guess. I'm hoping though that people still check this site periodically, and if they all see that more people are interested in playing, maybe they'll get active again.
I hope.

Yeah I hope so too! Are you creating your own character? That's awesome! I've created my own character called: Raina. I'm actually not 100% sure about American school systems. Over here in Oz it goes: Preschool (generally when the child is around 3/4), Primary school (around 6) Children are at primary school up until year 6. They start in Kindregarten. Then comes High School (years 7 to year 12). What's the other Underworld site you've found? Are people active on there?

Yup I'm creating my own character. Normally I have to play made-ups because everyone else has already pounced on the canons. Anyway, I'll try to get that application up in the next day or two. As for the other Underworld sites, I know of two others. Both are active. My favorite is this one... underworld11.proboards52.com/index.cgiThis one has been going for a while now, but they never got any players. I stumbled onto them, and took up two characters to try to help the site along. I play Serenity who is a Death Dealer, and Kate who is Lucian's right hand woman. We REALLY need more players. The other one is... underworldev.proboards107.com/index.cgiThis is the one where I might also register my character that I'm developing. This is the one I found just a couple of days ago so I'm not really familiar with it yet. Oh...by the way, yeah I think the Australian and US school systems are a bit different. Here, students are in high school between the ages of 15 and 18-19. Then we move on to college. Weird huh, how that differs in different countries? also...I don't know if you'd be interested or not, but have you ever heard of or watched the Blade Series. Not the movies, but the tv show? It premiered here last June or so and unfortinatly was cancelled. But some of us got together and started playing a roleplay based off the series. We're trying to find more players. Here is the site... z8.invisionfree.com/bladetheseries/index.php?act=idxI play Morgan Taylor, a lycan, and Chase a vampire and A CANON CHARACTER!!! Yeah!!!! I love playing canons. anyway, the show wasn't that well known, so if you dont' want to play, thats cool. But if you're interested and want to know more about it, just ask.

Sorry but I don't know of the Blade series. I haven't even watched the movies (though I want to!) Yeah it is weird about the American and Australian school systems. I'd love to travel to the US one day so maybe I'll figure it out. Thanks for the Underworld websites. I'm gonna try them now and if they work I'll most likely play along And before I go I've heard about canon characters on Fanfiction but what are they? The original characters?

Oh yeah and those underworld proboards free? Do you have to pay a fee to join?

Oh no...no you don't have to pay. They're free!!
Yes, you're correct. Canons are the original characters from the movies/tv shows/books. Selene would be a canon.
You're on fanfiction? So am I! Do you write or just love to read others' stories and comment? I joined to comment on a couple of stories, and then found that I enjoyed writing the stories and being commented on! I know, I'm selfish...oh well. Though I haven't continued my story for...about...7 months now. I really need to update my story...otherwise, people will stop checking up on it. Sadly it isn't an Underworld story though. I need to do one of those though....
And don't worry about the Blade thing. No offense, but I knew it was a long shot that you'd heard about the series. It only survived for 13 episodes before the idiot network cancelled it! Geesh...what ever happened to giving a show a chance?
But you do need to see the Blade movies...they're great! Although I do think I like Underworld better. It seems to me that the creators of Underworld developed a better world than the Blade creators. But oh well. Blade is still good.

lol thanks. I write underworld fanfiction. My pen name is london vixen (don't know why I chose that pen name when I don't even live in london. I just had to think of a penname my brother wouldn't think of or he'll hack into my account!) I've written about 4 underworld stories so far and 1 Supernatural one. There are also some stories that I love reading (they are very good! But I love getting reviews for my stories! ) I've read about the Blade series but if it was virtually unknown in the US there was a very tiny chance it would be unheard of in OZ which is a shame cause I think it would be interesting to watch! Thanks for the reply about the other underworld boards I think I'm gonna register!

It's me...heather. I've uploaded my character application into the vampire character sheets and my new name is Karie Starr.
I'll look you up on fanfiction. My penname is CaptainoftheGreenRiders and I'm about halfway through a Nightmare on Elm Street story. It's called Too Young. Like I said, I need to continue working on it. Really need to continue it...
