[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5147741, member: 40413"] I'm ultimately willing to leave the why's and what for's up to you to determine. Let me propose something and see if you are ok with this idea: Sindri wakes in the snow very near the Irrisen border, broken doll, Half-Jack; just like before but he has the memories of life as Sindri the Ulfen warrior from the Lands of the Linnorm Kings complete with former desire to become one of the Blackravens and current desire to get far away from where he is now. He initially tries to kill Half-Jack but the little guy gets away. Sindri goes back to his village but nothing is the same: no one he remembers is there, no one knows him, and no one really want to talk to him because of the glowing rune on his forehead. He travels west towards Kalsgard and all the while Jack keeps making overtures. He runs into Ragnar who sees the matching runes and convinces Sindri to at least listen to what the goblin has to say. All Half-Jack has to tell him though is that they are linked and the basics of his summoning; a reluctant beginning to their alliance. They hop ship at Kalsgard and begin working their way south, etc., etc. Sindri's only memory of what happened at the border is that of black flapping wings and it makes him nauseous to think about it, so he doesn't as much as possible. I kinda like the quasi Rip van Winkle aspect of the above idea but could also go with having everything a blank before he woke up in that snowdrift, skipping the village scene, and picking up his history from there. Let me know which of these you prefer or if you have a third option. As for figuring things out and keeping me on my toes? Sindri doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to plumb the mysteries of the universe (he's more like the happy-go-lucky grasshopper than the ant from that tale) so it may not ever be relevant unless you make it an issue. Side note: still working on finishing the mechanics of Sindri/Jack. It's like two characters in one and taking me longer to complete than anticipated. Plus I keep going back to the fun history/description part, lol. [/QUOTE]
