Railway Leap DT

This is the DT! Any questions, concerns, conversations, and other stuff goes here! thumbs-up Also, there are some notes that I didn't feel belonged in the Storybook's introductory post. 1. This is going to be a super laid-back SB. I'll welcome anyone and everyone, from new-comers to experienced SBers, and from people so busy they post twice a month to people who want to go three times a week. All I ask is that you pop your head in the DT once a week so we know you're around. I'll probably start tagging you madly if you don't. 2. I'm not worried about storyline or excellence or anything. I just want all the participants to have a good time. Make new friends, meet new people, and push your boundaries! This is going to be a really open and accepting place where we can all try new things. 3. Your first posts will detail your character's journeys to their respective dimensional train stations. This way, you don't have to plan out a character's personality and end up not following it (as I often do). It also gives everyone some idea of your writing style, world-building skills, and character. Also under point three: You character's starting location doesn't have to be anywhere near a station which connects to the vertical-space line mentioned in the intro-post. Your character can always transfer trains to get to their universe's main-station. 4. I would prefer if popular worlds like MARVEL, Pokemon, and others were avoided. I'm not saying you have to abide by that rule, but the goal of this SB is creation. 5. Posts shall be titled! Please format them as such: Name | Title (can be funny, an "in which...", or whatever) | location and possibly time Also, we like to have the extra space between paragraphs. I know there are some people who get disconcerted when faced with large blocks of text. In addition, I will hopefully be able to provide some kind of image for either location or character. If there are any formatting questions, feel free to ask! 6. I probably missed something! If you think there's a rule or guideline that should be added, feel free to tell me. I am always open to ideas and criticism.

Anyone want to be of some type of relation with Amberly?

Might be gone for a bit.
Few weeks?
I don't really know.
I might make the opening post.
Maybe.

Go ahead, @QueenAnne!

I also really, really, might NOT.
I have no idea what's happening in my life now.
So.... don't depend upon me.

Hope you don't mind that I made my character the same guy that asked Amberly where she was going, @NicoleBri
I saw that and took it as an opportunity to toss my character into the story and tie it together a bit.

If anyone needs an opening, feel free to be the being that taught Vepo how to walk properly (as long as your character has legs that is

). I tried to leave it vague enough.

@JKHatt No that's fine.

I like character interactions!

@megsug I really liked your introduction post to the SB! The backstory, species, and abilities of Vepo are really cool. Just keep an eye (if you have one?) on that fish, Mr. Ferris tends to snatch anything that catches his eye (and isn't nailed down, though sometimes he takes those as well...)

I was going to wait for @Avalon, since it seemed like everyone else had gone and I could do more of a lead-in to all the interaction...

@JKHatt - wow it's quite incredible what you did with your character there, you know. I was absent for a while and was now just about to submit my profile when I saw yours appeared in the meantime. My charrie was supposed to be the conductor's son, and have powers related to time traveling/manipulation and stuff xD I'm not even kidding, I'm slightly baffled by it right now.

I'm sorry for being absent, life is happening. I'll see yet if I'll only slightly edit my profile or change him completely, but in either case, he'll work/live on the train. Regular travelers would probably know him.

@AriaAdams that's amazing! xD
Don't worry about changing your character from being the conductor's son though, "the Conductor" is just a name of Mr. Ferris' like the Doctor (Doctor Who). I didn't mean for it to seem like he was in charge of the train.
That is quite a coincidence though... Time traveling and stuff...
Maybe your character isn't the train conductor's son but the Conductor's son (Mr. Ferris that is).

Anyway, good luck with the SB everyone!
