[QUOTE="CaBaNa, post: 4931102, member: 82643"] Yeah weekends are no good for updating things, it's miraculous just to keep up ;) But I will add the bit to the wiki. imagine this, Caden and Rashka have been working together for a bit, with a fairly equal power balance. But since Caden runs the PI side, he got final say when it came to his business. (so Rashka will listen to orders from Caden, though it isn't required by the church.) Then Rashka's superior in the church assigned him to Mialucus. (Wether the assignment came from somewhere else...) Now Rashka has been traveling with Mialucus, and Caden. (Because Caden is like that) Mialucus hasn't been informed that he has the ability to give Rashka an order, but the way the assignment was worded, Rashka is Mialucus' assistant. Mialucus has taken this at face value so far, if he needs help, Rashka will help. But the reality of the situation is that Mialucus is always hungry for adventure, and dragging Rashka along. Rashka enjoys the adventure, and loves the company of Mialucus, but hates being away from the Temple. However, instead of slowing Rashka's progress, it has quickened the pace, because of the accolades received during adventures. Rashka see's this, but is still reminded what this assignment was originally intended to do... Keep him away from the Temple, and not climbing ranks. So Mialucus isn't "Actually" holding Rashka back, but Rashka still resents the assignment for it's original purpose. (Or maybe he thinks everyone is out to get him) If Mialucus realized that when he doesn't ask, but instead tells Rashka to do something, that Rashka does it ever time, he may start taking advantage. That is fine OOC, but I won't know how Rashka reacts IC until it happens. (he has a tendency to ignore direct orders) Rashka doesn't get ordered on purpose, it's more like Mialucus calls out "Rashka, save Roithe" and Rashka saves Roithe, no "Yes Sir" or any of that. Rashka just needs to ensure that whatever report Mialucus gives at the end of the assignment is a good reference. Including a paraphrase of "Listens to orders", as that has been the most notable black mark on Rashka's record. (his inability to cow to superiors) @binderfred I agree with your character synopsis above, and I think this contributes to that. Caden is a veteran, and Mialucus is a young buck, the two play off each other in such a way as to push to hard, to fast, all the time. Rashka brings a heavy dose of brakes to the group. but can't stop the train because of his partial employ for Caden's PI firm, and his new assignment as help for Mialucus. It's a good way for Rashka to bring some much needed perspetive without stopping the fun. (And I'm sure Rashka could go back and look through the actual assignment to find some loophole that equalizes the power balance slightlty) So I wouldn't expect Rashka to act as a subordinate, but don't be surprised if he does.
