I'm... not sure you quite have the idea, to be honest. We are not agents. We are Boarders. We write stories about agents, who are fictional members of a fictional organization. That in mind, I'll try to answer your questions.

1. To write PPC stories, you need Official Permission, which is explained in the wiki article Permission. You should read it in full.

2. Good agents are interesting to read about, no matter what their species or how they dress. The ones I've enjoyed reading about the most are the ones who have especially distinct personalities. Just a few examples include Jay and Acacia (of course); Trojie and Pads; Suicide, Diocletian, and Ithalond; and Dafydd & friends. Characterization is properly the subject of an essay-length discussion, which I'm not prepared to get into here, but I hope that helps.

3. If you want to kill Mary-Sues, you join the DMS, whose agents are known as Assassins. That's pretty much it.

Agents!!! by Ruin Takada on 2010-04-01 19:36:00 UTC Reply

Hey, now those who've read my introduction thread will know that one of the reasons I came on here was to become an agent and rid the Multiverse of Mary Sues and their male counterparts, the Gary Stus. So, here are a few questions:

First of all, when you've be a Boarder on here for a month, How do you apply to become an Agent, thus allowing you to send in reports of your battles with Mary Sues?

Number 2: I know that you've all been recently talking about dangerous species that are allowed to be agents. So, what, in your opinion, do you think makes a good agent? Strengths? Weaknesses? Fashion? Uniform? Humour me, if you can.

Number 3: I know we have a couple of resident assassins, so, how long must you be an agent for before you can potentially become an assassin? Do you even need to be an assasin to start with?

Thank you all, and please answer!
