    If you do not smoke, then I am not for you.

    If you do smoke, then... well, come, listen. Perhaps you've met me before. Perhaps one day in the past. And if you haven't, then... Well then, perhaps you will, one day in the future.

    Say... Everyone smokes for a reason. Sometimes it's because they think it's cool, sometimes peer pressure; sometimes it's stress, or frustration; sometimes it's just plain old boredom. Whatever it is, everyone who smokes looks for something in that single rolled up package of cancer-in-a-stick, and sometimes...

    Sometimes, they find something.

    ...Those times, they find me.

    I am The Smoker, and I... I am a friend.    ​

    Ah... So many have met me, so many have not.

    But today... Well, today, you play the role of somebody who has. You look for a cigarette, or want one, or light up one, or are smoking one. Whatever the case, be it your first or hundredth or last cigarette... This is when you find me.

    So... Who are you?

    [x] Write-in.​
     
    [X] Mark. You've recently dropped out of college, midway through your freshman year, though your parents don't know that yet. Your short time there gave rise to two addictions, however: caffeine and nicotine. At the moment, you're living with an old friend from high school, though you get the feeling that people like him may be why you're here in the first place...
     
    Feel free to write as much or as little as you want. I'll fill in the blanks, so take care.
     
    [x] Rick. Right now there are only two things bringing you through college. Your daily smoke and about seven fucking cups of coffee a day. You're pretty sure the only reason you haven't broken down screaming at the incompetents that surround you are those two fucking things. With them, you can give just enough fucks to get through the day: none.
     
    [X] Jim. You are an accountant at a printing firm. You would have gone through school with a halfhearted throw, if it wasn't for her. Life seemed great at that time and she introduced you to these. It felt great and liberating to smoke while watching the sky. Well, it was great while it lasted anyway. She broke up with you some time before the exams started, to be more focused and well, you never got back in touch for some reason. You continued on anyway and got a job and caught a smoke or two or three at each pause. Things were well enough, but they felt lesser for some reason.

    Now this is an acceptable wdango protag.
     
    [x] You are Cindy. You steal, lie, and cheat your way as a way to fight against the corrupt and evil in the world. You don't actually like doing it, but it's the only way that truly works...
     
    [x] Cody. At first it was peer pressure, back in highschool. You were a 'bad boy'. lighting up far worse substances every weekend with a couple other buddies. Then, you just...stopped. Maybe you wanted to sign up with the police force to make a difference, maybe you just wanted the pretty girl in your homeroom to never catch you reeking like smoke. Then...well, after she died, you picked cigarettes back up.

    :drevil: I'm rooting for Jim, so far.

    Don't worry folks, this quest will feature multiple protagonists. You can write-in more characters later, or vote for ones that didn't/won't win this round.

    Jim looks interesting.

    "In the way that matters"..? What matters to you?

    People connect to characters, and feel for them, and grieve for them, and grow in maturity and strength from their stories. They have a real impact on lives -- how can you say they're not real in a way that matters? :/

    ...that said, I think that 2D love is crossing the line, but... well.
