If Maas has 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 entirely in koans. Shin'll almost have to talk semi-normally at least part of the time.Maas' thoughts on the other PCs:Shin: An odd child, but a strong mind. Riddles within secrets with wisdom beyond years.Zal'Gat: More animal than man, relying on instinct rather than skill. Strong and tough but has no capacity to be a true Master.Deren: He walks the two Paths, but for base purpose. Never will the two paths become one Way for a mercenary Bariel: He seeks to learn and judges not. A stout fellow, even if his eyes are closed to the true Way.Thorn: 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.(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.</blockquote>
