[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 5330863, member: 9789"] [sblock=ooc]No, Anti! Things are just starting to get GOOD! :) Guys, really: this group is awesome, and part of why we're awesome is [I]because[/I] we're all screwed up! All of the PCs in this group just went from being character sheets to three-dimensional [I]characters[/I]. That's what adversity in life is for: to help you make yourself into the person you choose to be. We've all been emotionally scarred a bit; we've been ambushed to no end, had a friend killed and brought back, been beaten up and interrogated and then handed a golden plate with all the food we can eat. This stuff is crazy! It will definitely screw with us! But we can't quit now: NOW is when the characters can really shine! I think Jarren's voice is great! I think he's a wonderful even keel to balance some of the extremes in our group. He's low key and fairly neutral, but has a deep resonance that commands respect. His connection to the natural order helps to ground the group in a cohesive reality. In a wonderful contrast, Pis is over-the-top gangbusters! He talks smack, he risks it all, and he has so many tricks hidden up his sleeve not even the party knows all about them. I mean, we've just been fed a major plot point in that he's been a changeling this whole time: how can you walk away from something that juicy?!? :) Then you've got Ryda, the aloof killing machine, who has a few hidden bits to her past as well. She's suspicious and paranoid, and lord knows she'd tackle the world alone if given a choice: but she can't tackle the world alone, and I think even she's starting to learn that. And Talkrai's breakdown is her just getting started. I mean, she set forth as a newbie with some training, trying to save the world: and now she's fallen a bit on her path, and whether or not she is strong enough to get back up (with some help) or gives up entirely is yet to be seen. It's like the beginning to a movie - a perfect setup! And I know Unit 16 is starting to see her as an opportunity to give back some of the only thing he knows in life so far: the art of war. How someone handles the adversity truly defines their character: not just a bunch of stuff on a backstory section! And at this point, our characters really are starting to need - well, friends. C'mon guys, I'm trying to do the Bluto scene from Animal House: this could be the best night of our lives, but you're willing to let it be the worst! WHO'S WITH ME!
