Why? And seriously. I can't just go off and write some epic about you. There are a number of prerequisites.

-A character
-A setting
-A good plot
-And so on.

So if you want a story, you have to supply me with some sort of idea of what you want the end product to be.

Ugh. Above post @Floyd.

And I actually forgot about that, Spence. Thanks.

no problem.

-A character

-A setting

-A good plot

Or, a man's close brush with death.

-And so on.

And I actually forgot about that, Spence. Thanks.

What do you want the story to be about? Haven't you ever read a book? Stories don't just center around one stinking character. One, who, no doubt, you have not thought through very well. I need a character sheet, more than a name for the setting, and that plot be mine. Get your own.

I. Need. Details.

And ninja'd again :P

T'was Elroy Gin.

this is your think tank, not mine. you dont need to write a story about me, but it would be nice to include me, maybe as a cameo appearance, in your next story. I just thought that you were desperate for ideas...

No, not desperate. I'm not whoring myself out as some sort of art slave. I'm just bored. And sure. Cameo for Floyd. Still need a char. sheet, though.

Oh, damn. I thought that word was censored...

Still need a char. sheet, though.

Background: Frank was born in the town of Minstrel, located five miles east of the Aeris sky-port. He came from a long line of aristocrats, a people he thought distasteful since he figured out what they were. When he was eleven, Frank ran away from his house towards the dock, hoping to find a better place among the crew of a sky-ship. What he found was the life of a pirate. Frank has been serving as cabin boy on the sky-ship Poison for six years. Only a few months ago, his captain decided to dock in a place called Armorland. Since then, Frank has found a place in the community of Armorland, traveling through the forums and their many threads, encountering new surprises around every corner.

Have I ever told you how nice that character sheet was/is?
It was rather easy to follow and a great help while colouring the cast-sketches.
