For those of you who are here for the SYOC form, feel free to ignore my ramblings and head to the guidelines and submission form beneath the bio.

Welcome to my profile page. Be sure to wipe your feet on the way in as I like to keep my personal space tidy!

Now, if you wish to read about myself or my upcoming projects, then make yourself at home. Take a sit by the fireplace and I'll make us up a couple of hot chocolates. If you prefer tea or coffee, then feel free take you leave. There's a tea house just down the road, I'm sure that you'll be wanted there instead.

'So who is Constant-Daze?' I hear you ask. In short, I am an Australian university student who figures that it would be worth doing something creative while working and studying to help the fight in maintaining his sanity. I'm pleased to say that it's been relatively successful, even if the majority of my ideas for stories aren't on paper. My mind works faster than my fingers, after all (Hence the name 'Constant-Daze')

I enjoy video games, particularly JRPGs, and animes across various genres. Special mentions go out to the Persona series, The World Ends With You, Kingdom Hearts, Danganronpa, Clannad, everything else made by Key (except Air), Death Note, Haganai, Food Wars, Your Lie in April and The World God Only Knows.

I am willing to look past an absurd amount of faults in anything as long it has two things going for it: (1) A good story, (2) even better characters. My desire to write actually came from wanting to be able to extend or expand on some of my most adored fictional works, so uploading them is something I do to (hopefully) pass on the enjoyment I get from building on those stories. It sure is a good thing there's a site for that stuff!

So, my Persona story is finally making it's way back onto the site, which is good. It would be an understatement to say that it was long overdue. The characters' Personas have only changed, like, five or six times since its initial uploading, but things are finally falling into place, even if it is at the speed of hare that's chained to a boulder.

Outside of that, I've been working on a Danganronpa SYOC story. If you're reading this, the first chapter should be up by now so take a look at that if you're interested. I'm currently open to submissions so take a look at the form below this little bio of mine if you're interested!

Oh! It's getting late. You need to get out of here so I can continue staring at this wall as I think about writing when I should be doing some actual writing. Go on, shoo! Don't forget your coat and don't walk under any trees after dark. My neighbourhood has been having a Drop-Bear problem lately and I'm sure that you'll want to keep your head on your shoulders.

Guidelines and Notes about character submissions:

1. The cast will be made up of at least 16 characters with me creating two of the students.
2. The Killing School Nightmare occurs twelve years after the Killing School Life that took place during the first game. You may or may not consider this as important when creating your character’s personality and backstory.
3. Be mindful that the main theme of this story will be ambition and its potential to bring out both the best and worst of people. While it’s not compulsory for all characters, I will look to include students who help in exploring this theme during the story.
4. Avoid submitting characters that are present in other ongoing or completed stories. I want the story to feature unique students that won’t have any preconceptions based on other fan works. (Revised. Please read the notice in chapter 2 for details)
5. Don’t be afraid to go into great detail on your submission sheet. The more you have written, the easier or more likely it would be for me to incorporate them in the story.
6. Submit your characters through PM with the subject titled “SYOC - *Character’s full name*/*Character's talent*”. Submissions posted in the reviews will not be considered.
7. Each creator is free to submit up to three characters, though no more than two will be accepted into the cast from each creator.
8. The sheet will be available to copy/paste from my profile for everyone’s convenience.
9. No deadline will be set for the time being. I’ll likely provide at least one update before finalising the cast where I may or may not establish a deadline.
