Hello, I'm a new member stumbling in! I know Shenmue out in Meatspace (believe it or not, she actually lives there!), and I am rather familiar with Mar himself. And the Bar? Heh, I've been interested in joining everyone here ever since she started sharing her Mar-posts with me over AIM!
Now that the off-topic drivel has been pushed out of the way, I think I'll simply familiarize myself with what's gong on currently (from what I can surmise, it's a fight), before pushing my way in. I've got a character that should... Ah how shall I say it? He might poke at Mar's current character developments a little. Mostly because he knows an alternate version of Mar, a fact that should really make things pretty interesting.
Granted, I'm a little intimidated, since Shenmue writes like a god, and some of the mod posts in this thread are making me shiver! I'll lurk around and see what is what, write a proper introduction in the proper introduction thread, and finish my final project for college while I'm at it. I have plenty of time, and I think it's right to let you guys conclude this fight first.
I'm hoping to slide in while Mar is still drooling... er, I mean, mostly-recovered! Yeah. My character profile draft will be coming soon~!
