For reference, I'm going to write this Alternate Universe's version of Chase in the discussion, I encourage everyone to do the same.

Universe: Alternate Universe "ACME Retro"
Name: Chase Devineaux
Age: 27
Profession: ACME's Coordinating Instructor
Notes: Chase was once an ACME agent working in the 'International Crimes' Division. Today, he trains and graduates agents. He does not teach a specific class, but he is the terminus for level 1 academy students wishing to achieve agent status. Chase often coordinates with other instructors regarding graduation exams, and meets with them to gauge an agent's overall performance.

Age: 25
Profession: Pilot for hire, former marine, and professional redhead antagonizer (Private Military Contractor).

Eugene currently has no ties to ACME, but as an experienced pilot and gambling buddy of Chase, has been invited to consult with ACME's junior detective program for a short while. The brain/mouth filter that comes with age has not been installed yet, meaning dry snark flows unhindered in most situations.

Age: 13 going on 14
Profession: ACME Junior Detective (Newbie)

Notes: Elsa is a second generation Swedish-American on her father's side. She has a love for ancient books and epic poems. She also wants to travel but her parents' meager means doesn't help much with that. By chance, her father found the ACME JD program and encouraged her to enroll for the summer. In addition to English, Elsa speaks Swedish and Spanish, the former was natural and the later was learned.

Universe: ACME Retro
Name: Nace Bilby
Age: 25
Profession: Guest-Instructor, on loan from the South African National Defense Force

Notes:

Nace arrived to the United States from South Africa after eight years with the South African Army. A recent innovation done in both the United Kingdom and South Africa involving members of the military, other law enforcement agencies, and intelligence types training ACME cadets and agents in those branches was noticed by HQ, and Nace was sent to San Francisco after eight months of that training program in South Africa.

Trained in both sniping and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) work, Nace's superiors not only expected him to teach the ACME cadets and Junior detectives, they also expected him to return a more well rounded soldier.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
