[QUOTE="Zurai, post: 3949086, member: 52324"] "The wood bows to the blade, and the wind stirs the leaves." I would absolutely love (as a player and even in character) if Shin used lots of koans. If Maas [i]has[/i] to talk, then philosophy, sword mastery, or arcane theory are the three things he doesn't mind talking about. The problem I see there is an OOC one - it's hard to converse [I]entirely [/I]in koans. Shin'll almost have to talk semi-normally at least part of the time. Maas' thoughts on the other PCs: [b]Shin[/b]: [color=lightblue][i]An odd child, but a strong mind. Riddles within secrets with wisdom beyond years.[/i][/color] [b]Zal'Gat[/b]: [color=lightblue][i]More animal than man, relying on instinct rather than skill. Strong and tough but has no capacity to be a true Master.[/i][/color] [b]Deren[/b]: [color=lightblue][i]He walks the two Paths, but for base purpose. Never will the two paths become one Way for a mercenary[/i][/color] [b]Bariel[/b]: [color=lightblue][i]He seeks to learn and judges not. A stout fellow, even if his eyes are closed to the true Way.[/i][/color] [b]Thorn[/b]: [color=lightblue][i]Another walker of the two Paths, but she lacks any discipline. She is too concerned with the world of flesh to master the world of spirit.[/i][/color] (Yes, I know Deren's not a mercenary by literal definition, but Maas sees him as doing nothing more than buying the skills to wage war) The more I think about it and the more firmly Maas solidifies in my head, the more I think he should be LN rather than NG. With your permission, Autumn, I'll change his alignment officially. [/QUOTE]
