Update speed, slow or fast or in between?

Fast, as often as I have time and there is a suggestion.
Medium fast, a cross between ^ and V.
Medium, wait for at least three posts before updating.
Medium slow, a cross between V and ^.
Slow, one update a day.

(if anybody has played X-Com Apocalypse, it happens to be several times more in-depth with micromanagement of teams then the current X-Com, the equipment and skill systems are vastly different, I will not go into detail with the load outs, that would take too long.)

WolfArisen, or Alex is the sniper, he is standard human and uses a laser sniper rifle, he also carries an energy blade for melee when needed. If only he would reinstall his chat program, the white text is a tad obnoxious, you're pretty sure that if he had the option, he would be an anthropomorphic wolf.

TurbanLover, or Joseph, is the demo expert, he carries a rocket launcher with several different types of warhead, multiple grenades and, he also carries a machine gun as a side arm. You always thought he likes his explosives a tad too much, course his dad is from Iraq, so you guess it's a cultural thing?

KnightlyWanderer, or Stephen, is the close up assault, he has a heavy shotgun and an energy blade. This one is from Britain, he is almost always on when you're awake during your nocturnal activities and as a result you two know each other rather well, he can read your L337 5P34K easily, he has practice, compared to how he has difficulty with Eric's robust vocabulary.

CatHat, or Eric, is our support/psionics unit, he has a light shotgun, a mind amp, and medical supplies of various types, he also carries an energy sword. This kid has way too many cats and his vocabulary is a tad advanced for his years, he is the youngest member of the group you think.

TemporalMechanic, or Kent, is more of a medium to long range heavy weapons unit, he has a gatling gun and a grenade launcher with various types of grenades. He is fun to talk to normally, sometimes he can be a tad spacey though. Sometimes you tease him and call him a girl, he doesn't care too much.

JewelThief, or Kira, is primarily a scout/assassin unit, he has a sniper rifle, an energy blade, and a cloaking device. In your personal opinion, you think he is a tad odd, if prompted you might explain why.

And finally, you, HackingFurrieness, or Luna, You are a psionic/short to medium range assault unit, your unit carries a mind amp, a laser machine gun, and an energy blade. You enjoy hacking, most of your game characters reflect this however they can, be it computer hacking or mind hacking.

(Edit: Fixed spelling error in Britain.)

Yupyup, just didn't really have any interesting ideas, so was waiting for somebody else to post. Yeah.

Look out of window. Determine if time still or CaHa just trippin' balls being exceptionally astounded and confused by his surroundings, in his regular manner.

Edit: also, explain why is Kira odd.

Indeed, but in the meantime my curiosity for team members have been sated and I have a better idea of the characters now that they have been examined.

(You are several hours in the past from Eric/CatHat's current perspective, the Distortion on this plane hasn't started yet, also if it wasn't exactly clear, the Distortion of this plane is different in different areas, Eric's is frozen time, HackingFurriness/Luna has a different one.)

You take a moment to ponder the enigma of Kira's mind.

Kira is strange in your opinion. He is what the internet refers to as a Trap, you have skyped enough to know this and hijacked his webcam enough to prove it when he isn't skyping. He roleplays as a girl online, you can't fathom why he would want to, course you roleplay as a boy so you can sorta see where he is coming from. However he tends to take it a tad too far in your view and dresses like one irl also. He somehow is always hyper, you sometimes wonder if he is on a constant intravenous sugar drip. You're pretty sure he is gay, however you have never hijacked his webcam when he was in a situation that would allow you to be able to prove it. His computer certainly has enough Yaoi on there to hint towards gayness though. You think you may actually be a tad obsessed about this, you haven't bothered hijacking any of your other friend's webcams or browsing through their files... Yah, you're probably obsessed. Anyways, you would qualify him as cute in a feminine way, even if he isn't dressed as a girl [Meaning when he wakes up, for about five or ten minutes or right before bed. And yes, you spent several days monitoring his webcam a year or two ago, if that doesn't qualify as obsession, you don't know what does.]. You're pretty sure he doesn't care much though, he likes attention, and lots of it. Most people assume he is a girl unless he tells them, he sounds sorta feminine and with the way he dresses... You were a bit shocked when you found out he was a guy, seeing as how you had been skyping with him for months. You're pretty sure Kira wants to stay male and would not, if he was given the option to be female, become female. You think he just likes dressing that way, kid is a tad weird, you sometimes wonder why his parents let him do that.. Then you remember they are dead and you feel like absolute shit. Yah... Enough pondering now, you feel like an asshole right now.

You go look out the window to distract yourself, you then realize it is the middle of the bloody night, you see the forest your house is in the middle of, it is rather dark and rather green, if you were looking on the other side of the house, you would see the long dirt road to the highway.

(Just so you know, the narrative style for each character varies based on their personality and how they think. And yes, I did intend for Kira to be a trap at the beginning of this, and yes, I know it's a bit weird, and yes, you will have to play as Kira at some point, and yes, Luna is a tad obsessed, and yes, Luna rp's as a male (She is a tomboy if you haven't noticed yet.).)

Will sleep later become a factor in how characters perform?

If it is... We should consider shutting down for tonight. But first, what is it about this weapon business? Why do we have weapons?

1 C4N7 5L33P! 1 7R13D! You mentally yell at the voice in your head, you realize you should probably go see a therapist about it, generally voices are a bad thing, course this one probably is from sleep deprivation, you should have slept hours ago. And yes, this lack of sleep will affect you, too bad sleeping meds never seem to work on you.

Why do you have weapons? Well, weapons are good for many things, the reason Stephen has weapons and armor is because he really really likes the concept of being a knight, the reason you have weapons is because you live in the middle of bloody nowhere and need protection from burglars.

((Nothing weird about one of your characters being a trap. This game has this kinda visual novel feel. I like it a lot, I think.))

Consider monitoring our friends' webcams for a bit to see if they're OK: it was a worrying dream, after all, and "privacy" is a foreign concept to us, it seems.

(I plan on doing pictures for this when I get a new drawing tablet, so sorta.)

You contemplate peeping on your friends, you tend to respect most of their privacy, however you do often watchStephen, Kira, and Alex, KnightlyWanderer because he is always online at night, JewelThief because well... You're obsessed, and WolfArisen because he has similar nocturnal habits.

Currently Stephen's camara shows a chair and rather dark room, sunlight is streaming in from a window to the upper left part of the visable wall.

Currently Kira's camara shows part of his bed and his sleeping face, looks like he fell asleep on the computer again. H3'5 50 4d0r4bl3! It is fairly dark, the screen is on.

Currently Alex is... Well now... Leeets just turn the camara off now... Yaaahhhhh...

You will need more prompting to spy on the others.

After that eventful viewing of Alex, you decide to go get your shotgun from the living room, you totally forget the name of its model, but it sounded deadly. You then go and grab your holster from the kitchen, you realize you will need to get some more food soon, you equip the holster as you traverse the rather cluttered living room to the bathroom, You grab some ammo from the ammo box in your bathroom and head back to your room.

After a few moments of hesitation, you decide to break a privacy barrier and spy on Kent.

Kent's webcam shows a piece of paper, in bad hand writing saying "Nice try Luna. I'm asleep, you can skype me in the morning... And yes, I leave this up here every night if you didn't try spying on me before." D4mn H1m, h3 w45 pr3p4r3d.

Enough spying for now. How is the rest of your family right now? What would they be doing?

Well that settles that question. Might be an odd question to ask, but do we have any neighbors?
