Cool. I'm developing a character right now. But there is so much backstory here on the board that it's difficult to sift through everything. But should prove an interesting place to write.
@Thump I wouldn't worry too much about the current backstory. Unless you want to get right into things. Soon we have a new timeline coming up. Here is the link to the announcements on that. We don't have a date for it yet but it should be soon. This place is quite active. Although right now activity, especially in the story boards, is pretty low because of the impending new timeline. But it will pick up big time when that goes live.
