Sorry, I haven't posted, but I was away the last 4 days for the long weekend. I'll read through all the posts I missed and reply later today/tonight.

Hey Temujin

I hope that you had a good weeekend. Your character is all sorted so you are sweet. There is one encounter I need to work through before the party gets to town, so its going to be a few days before I can get you, Seonaid and Stagger_Lee in. My apologies for that. I shall, however, do my best to make the game worth the wait.

Thanks everyone for your effort and patience with the new character generation system. I realise it is still early days, but if you have any thoughts or ideas about possible directions you would like to see your character develop along, let me know (by email if you wish - doghead206 at netscape dot net). In pbp, these things can take a while to grow and bear fruit. Bits and pieces of what is happening now are the result of seeds planted by earlier characters. Some of it is just in there for sentimental reasons ...

doghead, how much does Fredar know about the previous members of the Seventh and their exploits?

 

[Seonaid]

I would like Garival to find love, but that's hard to do in RP, I think, and anyway, like you said, it will take time.

 

[Temujin]

whoops... double post.. crap.

OK... I can be Rhys's friend from my days in the capital, or even meeting afterwards, when I was wandering. I updated my character sheet, and here is my current reason for being in Killington.

" This led him to his second bad run-in with the law, a nasty incident involving the barons mansion. Charged with Tresspassing, breaking and entering, and unlawful trimming of hair, Owen was forced into servitude for the border town rather than death, much to the aggravation of the baron, and now serves his time of a year and a day. The local gentry keep a close watch on him, and constantly dog him to ensure he doesn't slack in his duties. "

Hope that helps with the character development and ideas

Maerdwyn - yes, I would say you would have spoken about what went before and what happened in Trolluc. Both Nate and Hewik were there from the beginning. The easiest answer is to say that Fredar knows whatever you have picked up so far or saw in ic thread if you read it

Seonaid - I'll keep it in mind.

Temujin & Stagger_Lee - I'm going to do it this way. You and Rhys know each other from childhood, having grown up in the same part of town. Owen has had several run ins with the law, but was saved from incarceration after the last one only because of an intervention by the Lady's Handmaidens (who were somehow tangled up in the events, although Owen is not sure how). In lew of a more conventional sentence, the Handmaidens persuaded the judge to place Owen in their service for a year and a day (but in return they have taken responsibility for his actions during that time). As part of that service, Owen have been 'asked' to accompany Rhys to Killingtom where Rhys will be assisting the High Cleric.

I realise that this creates obligations and power relations between your characters that you might not like - but thats the idea. How your charcters feel about it is up to you - feel free to have them dislike the situation.

No coloured text please. Given the variety of skins available, its inevitable that any colour you choose will be problematic with one of them.

Hey doghead. About character development : wel, that kinda depends on what "really" happened in the cottage with that old crazy feller. I'd REALLY like to know what happened. I see Nate as a good-natured kinda feller, but these last days have been quite hard on him, and th eloss of friends weigh heavily on him. Depending on what happens, he might turn into a witch-hunter, a palladin or a cleric. It all has to do with how/why his friends were murdered in that inn. Mail me, you still have my email, or through the email on the boards.

 

[Seonaid]

Note about love: As I said, this is going to be difficult to pull off in RP, but even more so in message board RP. In any event, if this goes anywhere, I can see Garival falling for someone either a lot like himself or not at all like himself. In the background I imagine for him, currently there is no one he would really gravitate to, and there really haven't been anything more than minor infatuations ever during his life.

Thanks Seonaid. I'll keep it in mind. To some extent I think it is easier in pbp, as people are sometimes more relaxed about engaging in personal interaction and expressing feelings in a written format than they are in a live one. But either way, we will see what we can do.
