Guess who finally decided to join this rp? Surprise! It's me! Does anyone here remember me? Probably not!
Anyway, here's my character.
What's your character's full name? Evangeline Hyde
What's your favorite quote from your character? "You'd be surprised the kinds of magical machines one could make with, uh, this stuff."
What do they look like and what's their personality like? Evangeline's last name, perhaps unfortunately, simply happens to be Hyde, with no relation to any of the other Hydes in this society or setting. Seriously, she's just an average Jane. She wears a simple, practical dress, boots, and keeps a nice pair of welding goggles and gloves on her at all times. She's frequently awkward and not too great at social interaction, in part due to all the time she's spent locked away building things out of metal. However, she does go into "salesman mode" occasionally; it was how she used to cope with the stresses of trying to sell people stuff whilst also being cripplingly afraid of talking to people.
What's their backstory before they came to the society? Evangeline was an expert metalworker and engineer who worked for a prestigious group of craftsmen. In public, she created mechanical sculptures, tacky sideshow attraction machines, and little devices to do things like pouring tea. In private, her creations veered more towards the strange and unnatural; she made mechanical limbs and organs, attempted to make a robotic brain, and was eventually found out by her peers when trying to engineer a soul. Outraged at the strange things she was using their funding to do, they trashed her creations and kicked her out of their group. With nowhere else to go, she wandered the streets for a few days, showing off what few inventions she had left to passers by for money, until eventually, her wandering brought her to sitting right on the doorstep of the society.
Do you have any pictures of them that you drew or found? I drew this just now. The design isn't ripping off anyone, shut up.

Do they have any nicknames? Evangeline prefers to go by her full name, but when she's really close to someone, she'll let them call her Evie.
What do they study at the society? She plans to continue studying mecahnical souls and organs and such, their creation and operation.
Do they have any jobs? She sometimes goes out and sells her less weird devices.
What is their age? She is in her mid twenties.
Are they human? Yes. I mean, unless I wind up deciding she isn't, if for some reason I decide to do that. I probably won't do that.
Are they single, dating someone, or married? Not at the moment.
What's their height? 157cm
What's their weight? 60kg
Anything else I should know about this character? As stated, her last name just happens to be Hyde, and she's not an actual Hyde. Which is probably going to come back to bite her soon as she meets the various society members.

This looks awesome! When I finally get around to updating the wikia I will most certainly put this up! :D

Ah! Hi! Yeah, I got really nervous and anxious about contributing to this for the longest time. You guys are scary! That's sort of why I disappeared.

I know what you mean about it being scary, I was the same. Because when I saw the roleplaying in the comments threads from way back when, I was thinking, "I should try this... I ought to be able to do THIS roleplaying, if I can't do any other!" Then when I finally got around to looking at the TRpS forum, I found it had grown into a "proper" roleplaying site with ongoing stories and complex characters and (something approaching) continuity and everything, and I went "eek". But it isn't really. I mean, it is, some of the stories are very good stories, but it still has the same outlook that it always had - literary fireworks are welcome, but just messing around is also welcome.
And "something approaching continuity" is the right way to put it; even now we've got supposedly a continuous storyline you're pretty much allowed to just defy that if you like. Legacy of the random-looning-in-the-comments-section days. For instance people will often end up doing two different versions of something at once - one where they were with character A and one where they were with character B, say - and afterwards nobody will worry too much about which one "actually happened", and will refer back to events in either of them just as they want to. After having been in a lot of more rigid RP forums, it's a relief to me to not need to worry about how anything fits the continuity. Hm, sorry, wall of text, it's hard to explain quickly just how continuity works here, because basically it works however people like.
Besides, you seem to have it down, anyway, you've got a good character! Good to have someone who builds things, I was thinking that we didn't seem to have any of those at present and strange inventions are essential!

The thing is, I totally could have joined back when it was much simpler. When all the comments section rping happened and the trps had to be created, while I'd by no means say I was in any way one of the main rpers, I was being the most active that I'd been before or since in pretty much any fandom, and so it's hard not to think of myself as somehow partly responsible for it, even if that's blatantly untrue. And then I just sort of stopped contributing. And then as it developed, and as plot threads emerged, I got increasingly nervous about joining in, and increasing sure that I wasn't really needed, I wasn't really a part of things. I'm really happy that I did get through that, though. This is going to be fun!

So what's happened here while I've been gone? I mean, it's totally reasonable for me to ask you to sum up every major occurrence that's happened between now and February, right?

I did see the wikis! They're good. :) That's why I was making a joke about it being unreasonable for me to ask.

Summary: all the things that are happening at present are Dr Weir's fault. :-) Well, not really, but he turned up a few pages ago asking everyone alarmingly pertinent questions, frightening people by knowing things about them that are top secret, and putting ideas into everyone's heads.
Alice (Hyde without a Jekyll's character) has run away.
Dr Weir and Lanyon are plotting something about Dr Helen.
And Dr Prince is having either a haunting or a nervous breakdown (even more so than usual).
Also (not in any known way Dr Weir's fault...) Dr Castellanos has disappeared too.
And there's a thing coming up where you can sing a song as your character if you want to.
I think I've got everything but I'm making no promises. As for how we got from there to here, I don't know either!

Ah thank you! I'm in the middle of an archive binge through the wiki, but this was really helpful!

Hey! So I made something to help with the binge read. I ordered all the stories, alternate timelines, introductions, and side stories into one comprehensive list (note: narrator stories are not included). I hope this helps!

I'm really behind on my archiving and I'll probably get around to updating it this coming week but I hope it's enough to get you started!
