No one believes in Patience! I beg to differ, I once sat in an elevator for 4 hours because of a power failure.Jav3lin said:

No I meant no-one believes in virtues. Except if they're monks. But then again, if they're monks then they're incredibly stupid and therefor their vote doesn't count as an intelligent one and is thereby disqualified.maddawg IAJI said:
But then again, who knows? Bulletproof Monk was a pretty good movie
See, if I was a bullet proof monk, I would destroy eveerrryyytthing....and then I would meditate.Jav3lin said:No I meant no-one believes in virtues. Except if they're monks.

I've finished actually. I'm simply writing up the opening post, setting up the user group, etc.Jav3lin said:
However, I'll be looking over the sheets one last time tonight to see if I can squeeze anyone else in.
Everything should be good to go tomorrow afternoon
What do you do when you "create" an opening post long before hand? Do you just keep the web page open until you are done, or do you just write it up on a word processor?
What I do is either simply use notepad (easier when dealing with (h1) and (i) and all those commands. However Microsoft Office Word has proven to be nice to use, especially when you have to go over your progress more than a few times.
So basically, you type up your OP there and then it's a simple matter of Copy and Paste.
Btw: Can't wait to start, let's get this thing under way! ^^

For clarification

Name: Dr. Elijah A. Doogan
Age: 34
Gender: M
Appearance:
Due to his poor eating habits and rigorous exercise (those bodies don't move themselves, you know! Well, when they're dead), Doogan has a thin and wiry frame, standing a couple inches over six feet tall. His large, slender hands are surprisingly gentle while working due to decades of practice. His skin is quite pale, a stark contrast to the short dark brown curls and sideburns that adorn his slanted face. With a long, straight nose and a rather flat forehead, his entirety seems quite angular save for a well-rounded chin. Bright blue eyes gleam from beneath tame eyebrows, and are often quite difficult to read, especially with his often vacant expression. Though he often appears as the 'strong silent type' to wanting young women, a quick conversation will realize that he is more the 'strange unpleasant type'.
Thanks to his young assistant, a small Indian boy with a curiosity for British culture, he is rather well-dressed. He is typically seen sporting grey trousers over fine Italian shoes, a worn linen shirt bundled beneath a grey waistcoat, and a dark overcoat with a wide collar to protect his neck from the wind and cold.
Personality:
Having been withdrawn for quite some time due to a sensitivity to bright lights, Doogan is quite quiet and self-contained. He most often appears perfectly calm, resorting always to logic over emotional commitment, from years of hushed lab work and lonely writing. That having been said, he is not a complete social outcast; he has acquired somewhat polite mannerisms from his wealthy upbringing, and while he doesn't admire the social crowds, he can stand his own. Typically, though, he drives people away, since 'How irregular is your heartbeat when you contemplate dismemberment?' is not the best method of starting a conversation.
He dislikes the standard aristocracy and their unwillingness to be brave in the field of exploring ethnology, as well as the use of Holy scripture for justifying anatomy and human origin. Also, he has never pursued any romantic interest during his lifetime (though some have pursued him), so his sexual orientation is unknown.
Equipment:
Many years of exploiting his fathers' resources have given Doogan plenty of peculiar items to aid his research, including:
-A vial of luminol solution (luminol powder mixed with hydrogen peroxide and a hydroxide).
-A magnifying glass, notepad, and a sharp pen.
-A handkerchief
-Pocketwatch
-Quite randomly, a vial of maize starch
-Lighter and cigarettes.
Experience:
Before his 'Great Sacking' of 1881, Doogan acted as the University of Oxford's most junior staff member, teaching various sciences and, most predominantly, psychology. He has spent a few years in India analyzing the human body and running various psychological tests.
Why are you here?
Doogan hopes to investigate the murders of the young women to compare any differences between the anatomies of Caucasian women and Indo-Asian women to add to his research. He is also keenly interested in the psychological profile of Jack the Ripper. Not only this, but due to his intolerance of sunlight, he hopes to find a way to add thrill to his life, and nighttime murders seem most fitting.
Bio:
Elijah Doogan was born as the youngest of three sons in 1854, to an upper class family in Manchester, England. While his youth was spent in ease at home nurtured by a loving mother, he spent much of his time fiddling about in his fathers' work cellar. Gerard Doogan, his father, was a renowned chemist, celebrated for his ability to create a wonderful mixtures of potions and salves for eliminating a variety of minor illnesses and grievances such as terrible infections, swellings, and deep bruisings. Gerard spent much of his time working away, though frequently made up for his long absences with new scientific toys for Elijah.
Growing up with a lifetime's supply of the best tools took its toll on Elijah. Though it is unclear what caused his ailments, the young boy's foolishness led to him experimenting with chemicals often without the use of gloves or protective wear. His mother took notice as Elijah seemed to develop an incredible intolerance toward bright lights, and as a result, he was forced to spend most of his time indoors- leading to more and more experimentation in the sciences.
Through the wealth of his family, Elijah and his two brothers were all provided with a terrific education, travelling to universities throughout England, the United States, Italy, and France. Though his brothers became enthralled with music and literature, he continued to pursue the realm of science in the human body and the mind. After earning his PhD, he taught for a few years at Oxford until his 'unorthodox theories' led to the loss of his position.
Jobless and curious of the world, Elijah moved to India, where he continued experimentation with easily-acquirable specimens and created dozens of books on his research findings. Though they were widely unaccepted due to his extreme viewpoints and a 'blatant disregard for the human soul for the sake of the human shell', he persevered, living through the money he inherited from his father after his death.
After many years in India, Elijah finally returned to England, deciding to settle in an apartment in the heart of London. Upon his return, the initial killings of Jack the Ripper began, filling him with intrigue. His curiosity for the human psyche, and knowledge of the human body and its many mutilations drew him like a fly to honey. He has opted to observe the case and assist in whatever ways he can, hoping to further his research.
