Welcome, fans of the Protectors of the Plot Continuum and supporters of the Canon Protection Initiative! If you've got a story to plug, an opinion to share, or a discussion you want to join in, this is the place!
If you're looking for PPC stories to read, why not start with The Original Series – the missions of the famous assassins Jay and Acacia, the very first stories in PPC history. Once you've finished them, check out the list of Killed Badfic to find a mission you like the look of, or The Complete List of PPC Fiction to look up specific agents or departments.
Before you join the fun, there are some important links you should know about. Being familiar with these will save you a lot of hassle!

Name: Kali Bunga
Gender: Female
Race: Halfling - (Tracker) - (Sling-man)
Class: Hunter- (Bowman)
Health: 12 (6+6)
Anything Else: Kali is plucky, resilient, and has horrible, horrible foot odor. Seriously, it's bad. She never sees (or smells, rather) what anyone is talking about when they mention it, and thus has no reason to fix a problem she doesn't know she has.
She also really likes shooting stuff. A lot. It's a bit frightening, honestly.

Unfortunately, it doesn't translate well from Jel. Otherwise, I may have adopted a translated name such as Scouts-Many-Marshes, a dock worker in Windhelm.
You go first, Yinz'r. I'll be over here while you do your complaining.
Sigh What does my partner do to get under my scales, specifically? I suppose it's the way he thinks he can tell me exactly what to do and how to do it, when he's never been the one to kill a Sue. He can't even use a dagger properly.
I heard that!
Fine, your turn, Jacob.
(Sound of the microphone being dropped)
Dang it, that's probably expensive, Yinz'r! Right. What irritates me the most about Yinz'r? He's careless. He has no respect for the rules, and won't listen to me when I call him out on it. Plus, the glowing eyes make sleep even harder to get than normal.
Hey, it's true!
((-Alleb))
I'll be starting the first round in about 9/10 hours after I've had some sleep. I'll let it run until either everyone has posted or for 36 hours, whichever is shorter, subsequent rounds will probably last 24 hours.
Do you believe that, in the future, you might develop a heart of your own? Has it happened or is it happening already?
Name: Xiv'riit
Gender: N/A
Race: Shardmind- Being of Crystal - Nat. Psion (Fate Seer)
Class: Hedge Mage- Cleric
Health: 28 (18+10)
Anything Else: An amorphous psionite formed within the lattices of the Lazarus Scar. The facets which form Xiv'riit's current matrix coalesced centuries ago- quite how old is irrelevant (and unclear), though it has been obviously been alive for a very long time.
Xi is rather eccentric despite its age. It alters its habit, or morphology, depending on how it wishes to present itself, becoming short and squat to act unassuming, or tall and thin to intimidate. Every action, no matter how strange, has a purpose.
That's a difficult question. I can't think of any instrument I've heard or played that I dislike. In the right set of hands, true music can be wrung from just about anything.
For sheer versatility, though, I think I have to give it to the guitar. Passion, melancholy, rage, joy—it's all there in the strings if you know how to draw it out. Particularly if you consider the guitar's fantastic electric cousin. Now, that's something I'd like to get my hands on someday.
However, the instrument I'd most like to learn is the piano. They no longer existed on Pern in my time. What an expressive sound, though! I don't think you Terrans properly appreciate what you've got, judging by how often you squander it on repetitive, percussive chords in your modern music.

You can now ask any questions to RC 88888888's [Agent name here], which, yes, is her actual name. I assume you're gonna have a lot of questions about how she's going to run the PPC after taking it over in my last mission!
[Administrative edit by Tomash, original user was https://ppc-posting-board-2-proto.herokuapp.com/users/80 : thread locked since the poster is almost certainly banned from the PPC]
Not just for the sake of naming mine after a certain Monado-toting assassin, no - Aegislash is genuinely terrifying in the competitive scene. King's Shield + Stance Change or go home. B)
What're you talking about?
Besides, can't you imagine how happy she'll be when I surprise her with it?
If we don't have anyone by, say this time tomorrow I will start it regardless (latecomers are more than welcome) and I will use a filler character whose app will be below. If someone wants to take over as the filler, that's fine by me, likewise if we get over 6 characters I'll remove the filler from the RP.
Filler Character app:
Name: Thur
Gender: Female
Race: Lizardman -Dry Skin -Tough Scales
Class: Sorceror -Water Mage
Health: 22 (12+10)
Anything Else:
Sorry to intrude, but don't you think it could be a good idea of discussing with Ix about the real reason you signed up for ESAS? That is a pretty important thing, and not exactly the genre of surprise to break out at the last moment.
I believe I have heard of you. You are HQ's magazine, or so I am told. Well, please allow me to dispel any misconceptions anybody has about this situation.
When I saw Miss Knight in Rudi's, I saw in her some resemblance to a character, although I could not recall who. Upon later investigation, by which I mean returning to my Response Center and refreshing my memory by continuing my game of Fire Emblem, I realized she bears a striking resemblance to Sumia, a character in Fire Emblem: Awakening. I do not know why this is the case, but it would be rude of me to ask- something you should take to heart. I later returned to Rudi's, and I have since found Miss Knight a pleasant conversationalist. That is all. Now, if you do not mind, please do not ask me any further questions.
Apecian: And who is it who told you this stuff? 'Cause I haven't noticed anybody snooping around Rudi's whenever I was there... um... at least I hope nobody was...
Question for you: you've been seen a few times in Rudigore's pub in the company of Harris Frost's partner, Sonia Knight. One source says that you spent some time staring and chatting her up.
Can you clarify the nature of this relationship, please?
Buddy, let me tell you a thing. Everyone tells me that I'm lucky or that Sonia is my eternal Princess In Shining Armor that has to save my bacon all the time-- but let's get one thing straight. I'm a self-made man and everything that I am is because that I've achieved it fair and square. No luck, no miracles, no weird game mechanics.
Capiche?
P.S. Sonia is standing behind me and laughing really hard as I type this. I have no idea what's so funny about this but I have to ask: is this a trick question? Because I have a feeling this is a trick question.
D'you mind terribly if Terabyte comes too? Not only is it a barrel of laughs and great at parties but it's also a much better cook than I am-- we'll be eating better with it around.

This is my mailbox, not yours.
To these M and A folks: okay, that's a quality dad joke that I'll be stealing for later use on Arin. Thanks for the material, fellas!
What's your favorite instrument to play? Got a particular one you'd like to learn?
Terabyte:
I can neither deny or confirm my involvment in this petition as this might reveal sensitive data about high-importance DIA projects.
I am also aware that I have an array of heat management solutions installed in my mobile chassis. In fact, a fan malfunction during last mission left a processing cluster operating at less-than-optimal efficiency.
As for my legion of devoted admirers, I have but one message for them:
Soon.
Emiranlanoamar:
What guards me? A Harfan-Grinnell Mk. VII Staser rifle, of course. There's also my Omega Staser machine pistol and the laser screwdriver.
And Naya. And Terabyte. And a good deal of luck.
Oh hey, this is a thing that is happening! Have at it. {= )
