Hello duckies, not trying to steal Barry White's Masu's thunder, but I'd just like to let everyone know there is now an "About" page for Special Characters and a Forum Code Guide. More things will be added to both soon~
UPDATE 07/07/09 (8:47 AM EASTERN): Masuyo does her best Barry White impression Awwwwww yeahhhhhh... It's Hou Tian news time.
If you want to audition for Hakoda or Jet the deadline is July 15. So we'll have two new canons to play with very soon, and I, for one, am totally stoked.
King Bumi and Haru are both up for adoption as well (in case you didn't know from my 12,000 other mentions XD). Since there is a lot of development going on in the Earth Kingdom right now, both could be a lot of help and a lot of fun to RP.
Can't get enough of your love, Masu
UPDATE 29/06/09 (7:35 AM EASTERN):
Attention Hou Tian shoppers!
UPDATE 21/06/09 (1:26 AM EASTERN):
Hey hey, Masu's gotta a quickie for all you HT residents: We've got a new Mai. Congrats to RP'er Nandireya who will be taking over the role of our favorite knife throwing Fire Nation lady, and many thanks to all those who auditioned! We're still got cannons in need of a home, so be sure to check the adoption thread often.
UPDATE 15/06/09 (11:18 AM EASTERN):
Well, I've been a lax little blog bender, haven't I? Yep, Masuyo is back with more fun things to know and learn.
If you haven't escaped from Azula's wrath, then you're probably toast. With marmalade on top. So, what's up now? Mai is up for adoption. The deadline for try-outs is June 21, so get writing if you love emo gals who throw knive and sarcasm like there's no tomorrow. And we STILL don't
have a Haru or a Bumi. Haru is so lonely he's crying in the girl's bathroom right now (hmm... that's not helping his case is it?). And Bumi --- it's like a license to say totally random things. =D
In recent adoptees news, our favorite bad ass Jun is now being played by luthien. Congrats and happy RP'ing!

Hey guys, this is Luckeh. Playing with this blog thing is fun xD.... Er... Anyway, I've been forced against my will to inform all of you that from now until Feb. 22nd is a sort of "Advertising Period." Since the forum sex change and all, we're all encouraging members and mods alike to take that pretty little banner up there and pimp this place out... and I mean pimp it out. Link to your DeviantArt, your friends, your LJ, your LJ comms, other forums you frequent, etc. The goal is to reach the 200 member mark (and not just so we supervisor people can hire more mods.)
Avs and Sigs are rewarded for every 5 people you can suck into the board, courtesy of whoever wants to make 'em (and they'll be pretty BD)
Things to include in an advertisement are the following:
A summary of the story.
Canons that are available.
User-made characters that are available (it works sometimes!)
Bribery!
Just remember, the more people we have to play, the more fun it is. BD

...Kids. Welcome to Hou Tian: Empyreal Rally v1.5. This is your local administrator,
Marla, telling you to look and look hard... This baby's stayin'.
Thank you Luckeh, Blizzy, and that other girl Luckeh kept talking to but didn't give me her name. You've been a big help ;)
Happy posting!!! I'll teach you all how to use this darn thing when I'm not so cranky.
Chat (3 sub-boards) Come and discuss anything and everything--spam should be kept to a minimum. What qualifies as spam? Everything not pertaining to dignified discussion, duh.
The Three-Ring Circus (4 sub-boards) Monty Python and others may not like spam, but spam is unavoidable. Here's a place where you can revel in such tendencies and post threads that have no "real" value to your heart's content. Found something hilarious on Youtube? Show it off here!
Arts and Literature (3 sub-boards) This board serves as an entire archive of members' artwork. Feel free to post images, manipulations, poetry and other works you consider "art" here. (Yes, even photography!)
The Grand City of Ba Sing Se (3 sub-boards) Ba Sing Se is the titanic capital of the Earth Kingdom, encompassing nearly all of the northeast corner of the country.
The Si Wong Desert (3 sub-boards) Otherwise known as the "Desert of the Dead", the Si Wong Desert holds the driest, hottest environment of the world and is really nothing more than miles of barren sand.
Heart of the Land (3 sub-boards) The heart of the Earth Kingdom. There are no shorelines around, as one should expect from a kingdom of earth - but many hot springs and lakes dot the late around it.
The Fire Nation Capital (3 sub-boards) The continent is the homeland, inhabited by the Fire Lord himself, and housing thousands of locals - as well as war refugees.
The Inlands (3 sub-boards) The innermost Islands of the Fire Nation are more industrialized than the outermost Islands out to the East. With the exception of Ember Island, being on the very edge, it's easy enough to say that industrialization is a very popular trend around here!
The Edge of the Fire Nation (3 sub-boards) West to the Earth Kingdom lies the beginning of a series of islands inhabited by the Fire Nation. Among these islands are little villages - all governed by a single leader appointed by the Fire Lord himself.
Continent of the Earth Kingdom (4 sub-boards) The Southernmost part of the Earth Kingdom is inhabited by many small villages - most them secluded little towns governed by a single appointed leader.
Whale Tail Island (2 sub-boards) a large island situated off of the southern coast of the Earth Kingdom. The island gets its name from its distinctive shape, which on maps bares an uncanny resemblance to a whale's tail. While little is known about the island or its inhabitants, Water Tribe sailing lore makes the claim that whales can never be found anywhere near the island due to thinking that it's the actual tail of the largest whale in the world. The white coloring of Whale Tail Island on the world map suggests it is or once was Air Nomad territory.
The South Pole (3 sub-boards) The southernmost part of the world is home to many arctic animals and peoples accustomed to the snowy tundra. Due to the secluded human habitations, it's hard enough to keep in contact with the various tribes mottled over the area. Rumor has it that Chief Leader of the Southern Water Tribe is working on uniting his people, and rebuilding the tribe as a central community.
Character Journals Finally, somewhere to put your junk, eh? This is that place where your characters come to spill out their sob stories. Record your characters' thoughts day by day, week by week, whenever!
NOTE that all posts in this thread must be In-Character, and must abide to what's already been role-played. This is not a silly OOC haven, and should not be treated as such.
It's basically where you go when you have nowhere to post. Good character development!
Letters - 1 Viewing Need to send a hawk across the country or a bottle across the sea? Well this is the place. Any and all letters and their responses should be posted here.
