Right, so first off I should probably apologize for the huge lull in activity on this thread. It's gone on for way longer than intended, but hopefully things will be able to pick up here in the next few days or so.
I've got some good news and some bad news. The bad news being, sadly, that Arcanist has decided to step down as GM, as he doesn't have the time to both run this thread and avenge the deaths of his friends and sensei at the hands of the evil Red Lotus ninja clan. We all wish him luck on his journey to master the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique and bring justice to the land.
Luckily, the good news is that I have no such obligations tying me down, and once I rewrite a few things, I should be ready to get this RP up and running properly. As it stands, I'd expect to get most everything prepared by next week, and hopefully starting on the 13th. Assuming, of course, that people are still interested.
