Official CAA "World Map"

Here can be found the original Character Abusers Anonymous thread,
founded by our dear The Lobster Queen back in August of '04.

The
Guild Rules are located here.

Here is the
Guild Member Support Group, where new members can introduce themselves. It's also the small-talk, general discussion thread in this guild.

Too sexy for your pants?
Let's hope that's not the case, but feel free to show us your pretty face in the
Picture Post!

One of the main attractions of the CAA is the Abused Character Support Group. The domain currently consists of one big main room, numerous unaccounted-for plot-holes, a kitchen and bathroom that aren't really there, a long and twisting hallway, and a library.

The
Character Art Thread is a wonderful place to show off your character art for the world to see! Who knows, you might even be able to commission someone to draw your characters for you!

Click here to view the source of Raincrow's power...

...but whatever you do,
you do not want to click here.

Raincrow (aka Rae, Rae-Rae, or Squeak) purchased this guild from its original owner, The Lobster Queen, back in '05, and bears the title of Captain, as well as resident English Language Devotee. As such, she can generally be depended upon to offer constructive criticism on snippets posted in the Story Sharing Subforum. She cannot, however, be depended upon for criticism, constructive or otherwise, when it comes to character bios. Why? Becuase she's a wimp. Raincrow is always happy to give crash courses in basic English grammar.

Quote: "Just because I didn't comment doesn't mean I didn't read it."

erikakaiser is the resident Cynical b*****d. She likes critiquing things, taking the springs out of ballpoint pens, and playing too many video games. She usually visits Gaia in bouts -- sometimes she's all over the place, and sometimes she disappears for weeks at a time. You can call her 'Rika, Rabies, Rochester, or "hey you." Erika does not like chocolate, wishes she had an orange Digivice, and is currently working towards being Albert Wesker when she grows up.
Also she sucks at grammar, go to Rae for that. Character development and plot holes are her preferred mediums of critique.

VenusRain (aka Venus or VR) is the resident ADHD kid/geography, biology, neurology and psychology nerd, and is quite possibly one of the geekier members. She is currently trying to plot a way to implement her favorite forum game, Mafia, into the guild. Venus also has a tendency to be quick to anger, especially if you mention He Who Must Not Be Named. Paolini.

hmltwin is named Heather, although thanks to the avatar on her Nicco Nightstar account, she's also earned the nickname of Koopa. She's got enough science under her belt to be something of an expert in that field and she's learned from experience how to find just about anything in the bottomless pit that is the internet. She's also got more baby name books than some people have socks, and so is a good source for just about any name you can think of. She tries to be encouraging, but honest, in her critiques. If she likes your character, Keenan will ask to take them home with him. It's ill-advised to take him up on the offer.

hlltwin is actually named Heidi. She's the little twin sister of hmltwin, or Heather. She loves old 80's cartoons, like Dungeons and Dragons or Voltron, and has read nearly every fantasy or mystery book she can get her hands on, but hates the Wheel of Time series (the man just doesn't know when to shut up, sorry). She read the whole Lord of the Rings series in one month when she was in eighth grade and hasn't touched it since but has read the Deryni series about four times.
She still watches cartoons (mostly anime now) and loves Disney movies. Basically, she's a little girl in a woman's body and a voracious reader. ^^

Quote: "OMGosh!"


User Image

jestingly.yours is not to be called "Jesty." Call her Ky or suffer her eternal wrath. She likes Chinese food and taking long romantic strolls along the edge of her bed, because her bed is comfy. Also she never gets any writing done but this leaves her more time to mock foolish mortals in the OS/P. Which she does for their own good, really.

Quote: "You're useless."


User Image
Rimbaum is the resident demon child (as labeled by Raincrow), and has a passionate love affair with her character Seishak. Please, it's better if you don't ask. No one wants to know how it happened. Critique is rarely seen from this enigmatic figure, but when she chooses to give advice or critique, it's probably best to listen to it. (And she's great at color-coordinating! -Raincrow)

Also known as Madame Ruby (or MaRu for short), Rimbaum has complex and sometimes convoluted plotlines with odd plot-holes that still need to be worked out. WARNING: Heavy magick use and worldbuilding details may sometimes ensue in a conversation. Also beware random Devil May Cry fandom-related rants.

Visit her Worldbuilder's Guild here.

The artpad is fun. Yours were all good, so I did one too. It may not be great, but I had a great time making it. If you want to look at it, it's here:
