How did your character become interested in Falconry? (Was the story you were telling us in the chat about how you were visiting somewhere and you saw your friend's falcon in or out of character? Now that I think about it?)
OOC: Back in chat, I think we were talking about Oman, where my friend took us out to the desert and showed off a few falcons. That sort of experience happened a few times, also in Qatar and Northern Sahara when I went 'glamping' to test out another friend's new luxury tour.

Chase's love of falconry, according to what I had written for him, started specifically after a case in Yemen (handled by Ashraq Darsha, Mikal's brother). He befriended an Emirati falconer and began training with a passager gyrfalcon he eventually called Phoenix.

As a 'passager', Phoenix was a young bird still in her first year of plumage.

Follow up question: How old were you when Phoenix came in the picture?
OOC: Since RP timelines are relative, Phoenix came into Chase's life approximately 5-6 years ago, making Chase in his early 30s at the time. I want to say 32, sounds about right...

Before I came to this site, my knowledge of "Chase" came from general info on Wikipedia and clips of the old games on YouTube. So I guess my question is: Is Chase's smile really crooked? Or is that your invention? ?
You like the crooked smile?

(Again OOC here)
I don't remember how it first came up, but I didn't give him the smile, someone else mentioned it in a post of their character observing Chase. I thought it was fitting.

A lot of Chase's characteristics came from co-writers. When I wrote in the beginning, I had a habit of describing everything else but the character, so I get by with a little help...

My apologies that it's taken half a year to answer these... don't know what I was doing.



I do not have biological siblings, so I guess I could say they succeeded in no career whatsoever.

I have, however, been unofficially adopted into @Mikal Darsha's family. In which case, I have five brothers and two sisters. They are listed from oldest to youngest along with their current careers as follows:
  1. Arshraq Jal Darsha - Sayeret Mat'kal - Special forces, unit commander
  2. Naresh Jal Darsha - 35th Paratroopers Brigade - 101st Peten "Cobra" Airborne Battalion
  3. Dagan Jal Darsha - Sayeret Yahalom - Combat Engineering, subunit YAEL - counter terror
  4. Parveneh Zachariah - Sayeret Yahalom -maritime engineering, subunit YAEL
  5. Lochan (Tarek) Jal Darsha - Shayetet 13 (S13) - Naval Commando, The 13th Flotilla
  6. Mikal Jal Darsha - 35th Paratrooper Brigade - 101st Peten "Cobra" Airborne Battalion, currently [Redacted]
  7. Ahalya Jal Darsha - 35th Paratrooper Brigade - 202nd "Viper" Airborne Battalion - training
Hope this helps add some perspective.
Should've known you're an only child to your biological family...but what about your biological parents do any of them have succeed? Hint: Again don't mention any names you know what I mean.

    ((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. 🙂
