IMPORTANT: about the Tumblr "FBI" Virus thing going around

So, I'm not too sure how legit it is or how bad it is but I have searched, in a number of places that I was sure were safe, about how to stay safe. Now, it's unlikely that you'll be effected by it on RPing accounts but here is what to do to keep yourself safe (will also work for personal accounts)

Don't press any unknown links. Even if they are links to text posts. Even if they are from someone you follow. Just don't link links that will take you away from the page you are on (-NOTE- if it is a link to a video or such, right click the link and pick copy link. Open Word or anything like word and paste it there. If it is a youtube or other well known and safe link, go ahead and put it in the URL bar. If you do not recognize it, best to stay away.)

Look in your following list. anyone that has random letters or numbers as their URL, "block" them. DO NOT CLICK ON THEIR PAGE. Just click ignore under their name on the list.

Turn off ask.

Turn off submit.

If you get anything through fanmail, ignore it. 

Watch the URL when going to new Tumblr pages. If it starts to change, close your whole browser right away before it loads. Wait a while before reopening the browser and do not chose to recover the previous session. 

I will make a post once I know it is safe for you turn your ask box back on. I will be keeping the Main's ask open just in case anyone has any questions or concerns but please be sure that your ask is closed as well as your submit box.

PLEASE LIKE THIS POST ONCE YOU'VE READ IT AND CLOSED YOUR ASK AND SUBMIT BOX. 

Happy RPing all :)

♂ Meet MARK DANIELS he is 32 years young and portrayed by DAVID TENNANT

“Excuse me too busy you’re writing your tragedy, These mishaps, You bubble-wrap, When you’ve no idea what you’re like.”

+ Empathetic, adventurous

- self-indulgent, indecisive

↳  Biography

Mark Daniels’ parents were killed in a fire when he was young and he was adopted shortly thereafter. His memories of his parents are fogy but he enjoys thinking about them since they usually bring about a warm and welcome feeling inside his chest. He is Scottish but the family who took him in took pride in being a proper English family. Even so, they loved Mark and Mark loved them in return. Everything from breakfast to bedtime to fancy balls were all practiced with fondness and grace.

The only downside of growing up with a never ending supply of happiness was that one never learns how to deal with sadness. Mark struggled, throughout his life, with a fear that his family would be stolen from him just as his parents had been yet he couldn’t figure out how to express those fears or tame them. As a teenager he would often go out and get drunk, engage in sexual acts or do drugs to try and silence the confusion in his mind and by the time he was reaching adulthood his behavior started to worry his family.

Just before he turned 18 he was send to see a shrink and it was discovered that he had Borderline Personality Disorder. Every since then he has done his best to keep his illness in control. 

His family has always been supportive and he believes that learning early on about his mental state and researching about causes and treatments is what lead him into the field of psychology, while the moral and Christian beliefs taught to him as a child is what stirred up in passion in learning about religion.      

↳  Backstory

Mark had been teaching at a university in London for a few years but with cutbacks he lost his position at the school and he has recently applied for, and been accepted to teach at Roundview College. This is his first year, second semester, teaching psychology and religion at the college.

♂ Meet GUS HARMOND, he is 33 years young and portrayed by Hugh Dancy. 

“Welcome to the inner workings of my mind. So dark and foul, I can’t disguise.”

+ thoughtful, kind

- reclusive, melancholy

↳  Biography

August Harmond was born in late August in West Lafayette County, Indiana to a young woman from Surrey and a man from upper hill Missouri. They met while attending Purdue University only three miles east. Humanities studies majors, both had decided to pursue higher education at the university in hopes of teaching there. His mother died of a drug overdose when he was thirteen. He distinctly remembers her asking him to take his medicine for a cold he had before he went to bed and then she was dead for 4:02 AM.

Distraught by his mother’s death and his father’s reclusive behavior, August was shipped to see his grandmother in Marmond County in Alabama. The woman was old and very sad and very hysterical after his mother’s death and so the environment proved less than stimulating for him. He had proven himself a very effective student though and the moment he could, he applied for entry into Oxford University in London. 

He was accepted after a breath-taking entrance exam and a beautiful essay. Though he never considered himself a writer. He went to study physics, taking on poetry as a final thesis. The correlation between the two was lovely. 

Shortly after graduation, he went to work at Roundview College as part of a program that allowed him to access his teaching certificate while working there. At first, he served as a teaching assistant then as a teacher when staff narrowed out. He doesn’t engage very well with his students outside class, but inside the classroom, he has only received good reviews of his lectures. After a year or so, he received his teaching certificate and began to study for his PHD part time while remaining employed by Roundview.

His depression is nothing to be meddled with and he is the sort to take his vacation days to check into a hospital or take a class on “tackling” it. His coping mechanism of dividing all objects, people and memories into good places and bad places, making his mind into a storage room of neat sections works rather nicely. 

↳  Backstory

Gus continues his work at Roundview College, despite his high degree. He enjoys the students and the college works to help pay for expensive facilities that he visits. He teaches whatever is demanded of him and it’s no surprise to find him teaching history one semester and then biology the next. This semester, he is teaching Film Theory and Algebra.

This makes me sad.

So, I am sure you've all noticed that the dash has been pretty dead as of late. I would really like to get everyone's activity back up as soon as possible. I understand, believe me I do, that real life can get in the way and that there are days where one just cannot log into Tumblr to role-play.  understand that. However, I so feel as if the dash shouldn't be inactive for hours or even a day or two at a time. It makes it hard to interact and move plots along and it makes it so outside people may not want to join. 

I am asking everyone to like this post with 24 hours, that way I can know who is still here and willing to be active. I will be trying to plan some sort of an event or something to get everyone involved and hopefully that will also help with dash activity. 

I love you all and I love RPing with you and I would just hate to see this RP die out. So, please, I am begging everyone to do your best to get on when you can. Post starters, send out text messages, plot with each other. We can get this family thriving again, I know it.

♂ Meet SEBASTIAN ‘FITZ’ FITZPATRICK, he is 23 years young and portrayed by Thomas Dekker. 

“I can sell you lies you can’t get enough

Make a true believer of anyone”

+ Gregarious + Charismatic

- Dishonest + Greedy

↳  Biography

Sebastian Fitzpatrick prefers to be called ‘Fitz’, he just believes it suggests more personality. His parents never liked it when his friends called him Fitz growing up but it didn’t stop him from even persisting that teachers address him as Fitz. The young man has always been a fan of having power and sway, he sought this out from a young age, the leader of his circle of friends and emitting a sense of authority. The lad has an Irish mother and an English father, brought up in upper class London and as suave as they come. He always dresses sharp, desiring to leave an impression on anyone and everyone he meets. He is erudite, charming and handsome with blue eyes that get remarked upon regularly. He has a somewhat dark aura that can be unnerving to some, he likes making people feel uneasy but seeks out people with talent and ability. Having always been comfortable, the young man has used his wealth to set up a successful chain of clubs. They are classy and full of individuality, each one is different. He has friends in the know and isn’t short of any defense, with a snap of his fingers he has a body guard at his side. He is a great friend, caring about his loved ones deeply and doing just about anything for them, however, he is a liar and doesn’t exactly know when to say when. 

↳  Backstory

Fitz is currently in Bristol for the opening of his latest club ‘Surface’. He wasn’t planning on staying in Bristol long, expecting the place to be uninteresting and hardly remembering why he wanted to put a club there anyway. He got sucked in by the people and charm of the city and decided to stay a little while longer. Fitz throws himself into his work because he can’t stand a lay about. He is good at what he does and he puts his business degree to good use. He is starting to build up connections with other powerful Bristol residents and isn’t afraid to get into shady dealings including drug deals. The man thinks himself untouchable and holds himself accordingly. 

✗ Close friends ▬ Tony Stonem [the two having met a few times over the years and Fitz sensing talent and potential in him] Luke Martin [A potential business partner, ‘keep your friends close and your enemies closer’ sort of thing]

✗ Family ▬ None

✗ Potential Relationships ▬ None

The role of SEBASTIAN ‘FITZ’ FITZPATRICK is TAKEN.
