First Post
Some good points there, and not sure how to address some of them TBH.
I'll start with the defaults, as that is easiest. It's nice that people are trying to bring through the core elements of the characters even in the default personas. But any cross over between them *in their own settings* is not yet decided, and if I do go for it, it will be far enough down the line that we can kick around the way it will/won't work before that. As such, you are quite safe to treat them all as completely independent of each others' settings - for you, there is no need to worry about the fact that your schtick is magic, and Mowgli comes from a world where there is none. You may never go there, and if you do then your 'magic' could just as easily become psionics, cyberware, or, something that can be explained in that setting's stat block. Any side threads after the intro will be you and only you in your own setting until/unless I decide otherwise.
What I was talking about was the individual epsiodes, although I realise I wasn't being clear. What I am effectively asking for part 1 is: having told you it is level 10 Pathfinder with no magical gear, after coming up with a concept (or let's use my bete noir, a 'build') do you want to know beforehand that the game is going to be set on an island chain with a Japanese theme. Or once you've got your class/stats/feats etc etc sorted out, are you able/happy to walk into the game and have me describe a scene where everyone is walking about in robes and turbans, it is very hot and dusty, there are mosques and minarets everywhere, and take it from there?
Bearing in mind unlike a normal recruiting thread I'm not asking you for a character background for each episode, because we know what the overarching background is and for each episode you effectively have *no*background (as you are walking into it fresh). What you are coming up with is the background for your default personas, and as I've allowed you to make them whatever you want, you can control those aspects of the environment as well.
