I'll give it a go! I don't know if I have it all figured out yet but I'll catch on! I'll work on a character profile!

I figured that we can discuss all the details in the DT before we start so that we have a clear idea of what will happen :)

Checking in! (Though I suppose I don't need to say that anymore with the new shiny subscribe button, do I? haha)

However, before I start on a profile, an idea sparked my mind: what if my character has a tangled up love life with someone he/she knows in the present, but only in the past? (Whew, that sounds confusing.) So, their past life will counterbalance each other. (ex, if they were both king and queen of a country, or if they were something totally lame like married potato farmers or something, lol).

Or maybe for whatever past life they may or may not completely fit into, the two characters always seem to be paired up almost as if it's fate.

Sorry if I'm dramatizing things; this is just really exciting. xD

I'd just love to base my character off of someone else and have them mix in (...romantically :D) to make it more interesting.

Anyone interested? I'd be willing to play male or female. :)

Hey guys, I just updated the storybook introduction thingy. It now contains more information that you will probably need to know.
It would be great if you could read it. The new information is in the spoiler titled 'Who are you?'

Checking in and reserving a spot because I just had a pretty good idea, although I'm open to other suggestions.

What if someone (this could be my present day character) predicted what was going to happen, formulated something that could stop the de-aging process, and gave it to the other participants without their knowledge? He could be something like a pharmacist, or something more general like he makes/serves food/drink.

Again, I'm okay with doing something else. Any thoughts?

I don't quite get what we're doing in this SB? . . . Explain?

What's the goal? How do we accomplish it?

From what I see time is basically going to go backwards until we meet our other 'selves' who can't sense us, and then we have to . . . What? Do we start in December 2012 and then re-wind bit by bit till we get to, say, 1821, when the original you lived . . .?

I'z not great with time turning.

All the information is in the introduction thing on the storybook.

Basically it's like this: time starts to go backwards and erase itself, a group of people find a way to stop themselves from growing younger (meaning their present-life selves don't disappear), and their goal is to find their past-life selves and stop them from disappearing like everything else (because if your past-life self disappears, then how is your present-self supposed to exist?).
This goal is going to be tricky because your past-life self can't see/hear/etc your present self. Somehow the group needs to work around this obstacle before their past selves disappear.

We could also possibly try to stop time from going backwards, but that might be a little too much to achieve. What do you guys think? Save ourselves, or attempt to save the whole world?
