TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?
03.01
first activity check is currently underway. regardless of your green status, please be sure to check it out and make extra sure your characters make it safe and sound after the eighth of march.
01.28
we're officially re-opened! come check out our event, the pokeathlon forever to enjoy some fresh restart activities. let leap know if there are any skin bugs, and they'll be sorted out accordingly!
Care to hear about our lord and savior Operation: Mindcrime? In all seriousness: Hello, hello! I'm Pharaoh Leap – or just Leap – local head admin and rock opera enthusiast. On the rare chance you catch me in a time when I'm not bawling about characters entirely written into song, you may see me actually doing work around the site, like skinning, making too many characters, and encouraging others to also make too many characters. I only know how to write angst, and in no fewer than six trillion words an app or post, so if you like dying while reading like I like dying while writing, I'm the girl for you. ;o
Howdy guys! The names Astro and I am your resident Brit & Red muse (you'll honestly see me more on him than any of my other characters). I'm a moderator and my main job is to make sure everything is running smoothly so the Admins can focus on other things, you'll often see me within the apps and shops, etc when I'm not on Red. What can I say about myself? Apart from being a Red fanboy I like music and games and yaoi huehue, I honestly never now what to put into these sort of things but ohwell, I'm more of a "ask me and I'll tell" sorta guy. Anyway, from my personally I hope that you enjoy the site and what we produce here but also if you're new, please look around and if you like what you see please consider joining for rad plots that everyone gives! :D
Hey there~ Nano over here! I uh.. Wait, I'm doing this right, right? Bleh. So I'm a moderator over here - fun, fun - who kind of just.. Keeps an eye on everyone. You know, the whole app thing and what not. Uh.. Lets see.. When I'm not doing school work (because I may or may not be trying to be a good student) I'm probably storming up new ideas like events and etc. Or plots. Plots are always good, too. As you can see, I uh.. Have the horrible habit of making way too many characters. I swear, I was tempted with plots, ships and angst. It's like, the holy trinity. Uh.. What else is there about me? Oh, right! Please excuse my obnoxiousness. I'm just really loud in general so don't be surprised if I start screaming as loudly as I can caps. So yeah. Nice meeting you!
tbe: take two! is inspired by, but not associated with nintendo's pokemon franchise. the current skin was created by pharaoh leap using font icons primarily from ion icons and fonts from google fonts. banner art by vav of pixiv. characters, with the exception of canons from the manga, belong to the members who write them, and all posts and templates on site are credited to their respective authors and artists. we claim nothing that is not ours.

congratulations on completing your application and getting it approved! now that you've been given the thumbs up, though, you've still got a few more steps before you can hop into the roleplay. for starters, make sure to update your face claims and, if applicable, canon claims, then add your new character to the member directory. after that, consider replying to a character plotter, participate in some forum games, or fill out an open thread. otherwise, good luck, and happy writing!

there is nothing left to take, but i still try to reach. try to swallow it all down, yet i can't seem to breathe. just a single pill of mine, nothing else would suffice - i take it in, now i'm alive. my phone is set on lock, and i don't really care. there's a tangle and a knot that i cannot repair. i'm a tragedy, i'm ugly, i'm trying to hide. i say "hello", then wave "goodbye". see me fall down - let me die here slowly. nothing goes right, not a trace of honestly. i'm to blame, so i'll remain. black, white; day, night; it's all the same. see it run down - cut away, no worries. say no more. i can surely say that i've had enough. i still refuse to believe.[break][break]
every day would be the same. nothing more, little change. if i cared, it would mean nothing: it's all such a pain. friendly bonds are so unneeded, i don't give a dang. a busy life is what i am. could it be that family was a way of escape? didn't know if it was right, so i threw them away. couldn't take it anymore, i had taken enough, so then i hide my need for love. lay me right down, let me sleep, i'm restless. cover my eyes. when i'm up, i'll finally fade away, here, today. give me a reason: then i'll stay. if i could fly, if for only a moment, there wouldn't be such a need for casualty. i'm alone, and that is how it'll be.[break][break]
why does everything i do cause tragedy? why does everyone i know keep leaving me here? why do i feel so empty inside? i only want to die.[break][break]
see me fall down - let me die here slowly. nothing goes right, not a trace of honesty. i'm to blame, so i'll remain. black, white; day, night; it's all the same. see is run down - cut away, no worries. say no more. i can surely say that i've had enough. i can't remember - that very day, that very day changed me. happiness died like a light i carried. i'll sleep tonight and hope to finally leave a world which i don't believe, a life which i don't need, and then i'll finally be free.

i have finished literally no new apps since last month, but lessgo, no one's really pushing others over for my claims, I don't think. they're technically not even reserved, literally anyone can swoop in and grab 'em. also, my discord is pharaoh leap#2834!

>> ACTIVITY CHECK
APRIL 1ST THROUGH APRIL 8TH
[attr="class","taketwogenmid"]
[attr="class","taketwogenmid2"]
It's that time again, folks: the activity check, where we separate deserters from the dedicated and clean up claims no longer being put to use so they can be put into the hands of those who would better use them. Reply to this thread with any account you so choose and let us know which characters you'd like to keep until the next activity check, which characters are a work in progress that you still intend to work on, and which characters you plan on dropping if you've found yourself on the fence about them.[break][break]
Active characters should be tagged. Work in Progress characters should be tagged along with a link to their pending application, if available. Unfinished characters who are not tagged here will be archived, their pending applications similarly so, under the pretense that their RPer no longer wishes to finish them.[break][break]
Characters you know you are no longer willing to RP, at least for now, should also be tagged, and they will be archived accordingly.[break][break]
Characters who are not notified here before the end of the week will be sorted into the inactive group and have all active applications and threads archived. Characters may be unarchived at any time on request, though canon characters lost will be asked to go through the application process again, and claims of these characters will be up for grabs between their archiving and revival.[break][break]
If you are participating in our Discord server, we also ask that you notify us of your Discord tag. We're going to clean out members who no longer chat or have any desire to stick around, so if you could let us know who you are over there for certain so we don't accidentally delete you from the group (not that you wouldn't be able to join back in, but hey), that would be lovely![break][break]
As a final note, in order to save your characters, you must also notify staff of who your favorite active character on the site is. If this happens to be your own, you're welcome to list them, although we'd prefer that you pick a runner up if such is the case. If you don't have a specific favorite, pick a character you just think is worthy of note! We won't add your characters to the list unless you let us know who you think is deserving of recognition, to get to thinking on it. ;o

>> UPCOMING SKIN
ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE
[attr="class","taketwogenmid"]
[attr="class","taketwogenmid2"]
Our next activity check is in the next couple of days, and as of tomorrow, I believe, the site has been open for two whole months. That's amazing, guys! With that much time under our belt, it's time to start planning for an overhaul of our aesthetic, because your head admin is good for nothing other than making too many characters and being a coding monkey. Unfortunately, while I am technically capable of coding a whole skin in two days, it's not a very fun experience, so the next skin likely won't be out until after our anniversary - probably after the activity check has already concluded, in fact! What this affords you all, however, is the time to get your say in about what you'd like to see on the upcoming skin.[break][break]
I'd like to note here that all suggestions provided here will be suggestions. I'll absolutely read them all and take them into consideration - and if they're something that's an objective improvement, heck yeah, I'll definitely do my best to include it - but not... everything can be done in one skin. Please don't be discouraged if something you ask for doesn't make the cut. If a lot of people seem interested in something that's not completely unpractical, it'll probably show up! If one person suggests something that's purely aesthetic and doesn't really line up well with everything else - well, that might get the get. Furthermore, if there are any issues you have with the current skin that you'd like to see removed in the next, please let me know![break][break]
Going in, what's set-in-stone is that the next skin will almost certainly be a light skin again - or, at least, one where the background of the text area is of a similar shade to this one now. If the demand is high enough, I may make a darker recolor of the same skin, but please note that that still takes quite a bit of time. Another thing is that the skin will probably be simpler, at least on the first page. I know there's been a bit of confusion about navigation in the past, and while I absolutely adore making things complicated and unique, a skin is only the dressing for the site; if there's too much, how are you supposed to see the lettuce underneath?[break][break]
If you could reply to this thread with suggestions you'd like to make, that would be amazing! Direct messaging works as well, but not recommended, largely because keeping everything in one place makes it easy to access and less likely for something to get forgotten in the final product. If you don't have anything to suggest, don't worry about thinking something up - if you DO have something to add, though, definitely let us know! Thanks in advance!
