Evening everyone. Since the trend is to open up with our background some, I suppose I'll get on board as well. My name is Eugene Michael Grovington, currently Chief Pilot at ACME, formerly a private military contractor and a Colonel in the US Marine Corps before that. I spent the early years of my childhood in Cold Bay, Alaska, before moving with my twin brother and younger sister to Annapolis, Maryland.

Besides the obvious of flying, my hobbies also include long range shooting, cooking, and a little bit of dancing when the mood strikes.

Random Facts
  • Eugene tends to wear something to cover his eyes, usually a pair of classic aviators
  • Prior to moving to his current apartment, Eugene lived out of the back of an aircraft at ACME Field
  • Eugene has an unspecified problem with dogs
  • Enjoys classic rock
  • Eugene maintains a collection of masquerade masks, most of which can be found hanging on the wall of his airfield office

Elaborate slightly on the dancing? Which mood strikes it?
Situationally, romantic or a touch nostalgic. When I was young, my mother loved to listen to waltzes; they'd echo through the house. I learned a few waltzes when I grew older, both to connect to the past and just for sheer enjoyment.

Do you have a favorite pair of aviators, and what's the story behind it?
I had a favorite pair, unfortunately lost now. They were a Christmas gift. I don't remember the brand but they were very comfortable. I hope if someone found them, they're at least serving that person well.

Your twin brother and younger sister, what were their names?
My twin is named Anthony James, which he always shortens to AJ. My sister is Anne.

What is the rarest mask in your collection? How did you come by it?
This one will need it's own post, just for the sake of a complete explanation. Every mask in my collection is one of a kind, so each one could be considered rare on their own unique merits. However, some of these masks have more interesting stories behind their acquisition than others. I think my top picks would be a cat eared mask, a blended comedy and tragedy mask, and a particular gold mask which came to me in an evidence bag.

What is your favorite type of plane if you have any?
Ooh, that's a tough one. I don't know about most favorite aircraft, but the most fun I've ever had flying was in a supercub on tundra tires practicing off airport operations. It was an older aircraft with no electrical system to speak of, not even a light bulb. You had to get out and turn the propeller by hand to start it. We played around landing on gravel bars, mountainsides, and anywhere else we pleased.

    ((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. 🙂
