You can just list all your rps that you have in your ency and then each time you come on HiO, just click them all and see if it's your turn to post or not. You can also make a note as to whether it IS your turn to post (if you don't have time to post) and write when you last updated that. So that way you know how many you need to post in etc... and don't need to check all the time. I separate mine from threads vs club threads.

Astra Ingebrigtsen wrote: 9 Jan 2023, 19:55 Hello there 👀

I don't think I've said before, but I really like your character's name! How did you come up with it?

Thank you
When I choose a character with foreign origins I usually like giving them an "obviously foreign sounding name" hey Hildegard Schneider 👀.
So for Ingebrigtsen I just googled nowegian family names and took the most norwegian sounding one.
For Astra I wanted something that was related to astronomy and that norwegian origins. The closest I found was "Astri", but it sounded like a made up name so I hesitated between Astrid and Astra, Astrid had some north origins and Astra had an obvious astronomy related sounding to it.
Really hesitated between both x')

What's the story behind your name ?

@Kim Sato thanks that was intended xD

-pops into chat and quotes Astra because I like Larino's origin story-

I'm currently writing a novel, where Larino is a really stuck-up eagle who just fights with the main character despite them both being on the same team. Of course, he had to be human, and I soon found that having that personality didn't really fit me, so I changed this version of him a little, and his surname is the name of a fish-like race in the novel.

The Japanese bit, well, my little autistic brain one day decided to have a new special interest of Japanese culture despite being from the UK with absolutely no family abroad, and since I love the culture surrounding Japan, and Asia as a whole really- it's so interesting!

That's so cool! I love Larino's name too
