You've been advised before to go to the Bootcamp, located at http://p207.ezboard.com/brpbootcamp.

That is where you can go to receive advice--people prep themselves to be patient and focus on helping over there. The RP section of this board, RPGWW, is for RPers who are already up to par.

People are asking me for permission to rip into you, and I find myself increasingly apathetic on the whole matter.

I am closing this thread.

Kindly do not make another character thread. You have the URL for the Bootcamp. <p>
