Promo Maplestory Strip

I doubt any of you remember that I used to make gunbound comics. I think Eric was the only one around back then, before the forum was even known as Yakuza Forum. (It was called International Gaming back then, and we were pretty focused on gaming in general) I actually don't even have them anymore (so if any of you DO remember/were around, then it'd be nice if you put them up). I think I had around 10 strips before I quit gunbound and just stopped making them.

Well I've decided to pick up this hobby again, and this time around I'm going to be making Maplestory comics. Last time I took characters from members of the forum and I think I'll do the same this time.

Here's a small promo (not a real strip...not thought out and is just meant to show what they'll be SIMILAR to):



There are no guarantees that you'll be chosen to be part of the comic (except for admins, who are required to be a part of it unless they have a REAL reason not to be). I'm trying to look for a large variety of classes, genders (please do not pretend to be a female when you are a male and vice versa), as well as general look.

If you wish to have a chance to be selected, please provide the following information:

1. Name you'd like to be known as (ex: Daz, Eric, etc)
2. Character Class
3. Either a screenshot or a *BannedStory 3.0 Code of your character.
4. General level (as in a range)

*BannedStory 3.0 is a Maple Simulator you can find by googling. This is a pretty big deciding factor of whether you'll be chosen or not (sadly, because I'm too lazy to go make your character from a screenshot)

Couple of notes and tips for being chosen:
- I'll be choosing personalities in the storyline. By applying for a spot, you recognize that I have the power to control every aspect of your character. This means if you select a Rogue, I have the power to change your character into a Bandit. (although normally I'll probably discuss major changes to your character with you)
- Creativity in character creation is VERY important. I don't want 5 Dragon Knights that all look sexy...I want a beginner with the strangest cash shop suit (just an example), a cleric that doesn't seem to know how to match colors (another example), some normal characters, and some sexy characters.
- You cannot (as of now) choose to be a 4th class job. I have my reasons and one of them is that I don't really know that much about them (not to mention it provides an opportunity for a storyline in the future).

I plan on finishing my character selection by May 8th (random date, don't ask), so this gives everyone plenty of time to download BannedStory and create their character.

Here's a list of current characters to give you an idea:
- Daz (11X Hermit)
- Eric (8X Dragon Knight)

Oh and feel free to PM me on Yakuza Forums (http://yakuza.dazuba.com/forum) or comment on this Blog post if you have an ideas for the future. (This post is basically copy/pasted from my topic:
