If it's possible to join, I'd like to do so.  If there's a wait list, I'm fine with being put on it as well.  If not, meh.  I'll just watch.  :3

@Edit 2: ...Groups of 8 or more students? O.o Wut?

Put simply, I didn't get along with the other students.  I was picked on a lot because people thought I was dumb as a brick, or too quiet for their liking.  There were a few scenarios where I was attacked by groups of up to 8 students in attempt to put me out of school for a few days to a few weeks.

The most frequent reasons people thought those kinds of things of me were because I was born with a hearing impairment.  This made picking up speech quite hard, along with using it.  I had a lisp, and I would always ask people to repeat themselves.  People took that as a sign that I was an idiot because I couldn't understand what they were saying.  I kept quiet mostly because I was more likely to be picked on if I tried talking to anyone.

One student even pulled a knife on me for these reasons.  That... didn't go over so well.

Oh, and while this all sounds bad, I got my revenge at 13 years of age.  I had enough of the bullying, and one day, a bully decides to push me over the edge.  Smashed the ever living shit out of him to the point that he was afraid to go into the school while I was inside it.  I got suspended, but not for the fight.  It turns out that the school didn't take too kindly to me cursing and swearing in a rage towards a volunteer worker.  Also didn't help that it was in front of a bunch of 5 year old kids.

Haven't gotten into a fight since.  Mostly because I opted not to go to high school.

EDIT:  In all honesty, I share a lot of traits with your character, Dominique.  I'm violent, and I seek out fights.  The primary difference is that I have self control.  I hold myself back from doing something truly stupid.  Most of the time, anyways.  I'm pretty sure that professor still has a lot of hatred towards me. >.>;  *Coughs*

EDIT2:  This is quite literally the only problem with being awake at night.  I have no one to talk to, and I am often too tired to work, and not interested in any more gaming.  The result?  I sort of just sit here in my bed, with my laptop on my lap, and lurk the forums or read.  *Reads CvRTD.*

They would try to lobotomize him and then James' brain would punch them to death.

Considering the utter bad-ass that James is when it comes to punching things, this sounds totally believable.  Your brain would psionically grow a fist and punch the Immortal lobotomizers until they get the freakin' message.

I'm ashamed of you not mentioning Taric's Porn Power.

In all truthfulness, I expect it to backfire and affect the entire team in some horrifying way.  That's how PyroDesu would survive.

Anyways, my excuse for not mentioning it is that I'm tired.  Very very tired.  Yes, that's the ticket.  *Hides the fact that he is currently writing code.* >.>

I don't mind giving out such information either, for the most part. No one else on Bay12 lives in Kentucky anyway, and oddly it seems like at least 80% of the people I associate with are either in Florida, Australia, or Canada; all places much too far away to come bother me in person. XD

Yeah, most of the people I know are out in the UK or some European country.  I used to know one person in Australia.  Played a lot of Diablo 2 with him at the time.  Haven't heard from him in years though.

I also know a few people here and there in the United States, and a few around Canada.  I've even visited a few.  Back in 2005, I visited a friend in California.  Also got a trip to Seattle at one point, for an interview with Microsoft.  Wasn't too fond of Seattle, though.  Too much rain, and the atmosphere felt odd.

And ideally, his death would have absolutely no emotional impact on our characters.

Considering that A)  I wouldn't know the lot of you in the first place,  B)  The lot of you are (awesome) nutcases, and C)  It's meant as a joke and not much else, I don't think it really needs to be said that it should have no impact or reaction at all.  If it did, I'd expect no more than a flat "Huh," and then back to shooting, dying and/or weaponization of porn.

EDIT:  I really need to cycle my sleep cycle around again to the 7 AM-3 PM schedule.  This insomnia's gonna be the death of my sanity in a few days if this keeps up.  I'm only managing to keep it stable by reading this thread and hovering over this thread like a hawk.

EDIT2:  Clearly I am hallucinating.  I just read about Tarran dual wielding and actually managing to hit his target, and *ONLY* his target.

Also, James gets +5 bad-ass points for horrifically murderlating the deadheads with his FIST OF DOOM.

Dom also gets +2 bad-ass points for wanting to douse the Emaciated Immortal in acid.  I dunno what the result of that is though yet, so yeah.  You might get a few more points.

EDIT3:  Dom, congrats, you got another +8 bad-ass points.  Draignean even gets +10 for writing it out in such a harsh and disturbing manner.  Awesome work, man.

Also, for Tarran's success in dual wielding, and doing such a damned good job of it, +5 bad-ass points.

EDIT4:  Since everyone seems to know where everyone else is.  Ontario, Canada here.  *Cepheid loses 1000 everything points.*

Hope to some day change it to the Netherlands or some other European country.

Close Cepheid- it was 1070 (I checked).

That battle was where I learned fists were better for James than guns.

Bah.  I was off by TEN POINTS.  Anyways... You just reminded me of that bit of epicness.  James gains 2 bad-ass points!

... Tarran can handle the Metal Gears and power armor and such with his anti-tank rifle ...

Who gave Tarran the ability to turn tanks into Swiss Cheese?
