OOC Kingdom of Ashes V - Brood city, baby!

I don't know if a secret ex-girlfriend is enough to provoke the batman theme - seems a little weak.

Apparently, they broke up before she got turned, so it shouldn't be all that traumatic.

You know Archonus - even if something is totally not his fault, he'll find a way to *make* it his fault.

However, I am excited to learn of his youthful exploits... hopefully, he'll share the information.

i have always been under the assumption that Archon and Dara DID break up because of the Mark. and it wouldn't be too hard to hide the mark, especially under those big silver masks.
As far as Archon sharing his past, yeah, i don't even think Xath knows about Dara, let alone anyone else in the group.

We played this out, at one point - during the same time we did the "flashbacks/flash forwards" of Archon's potential futures. The masks are carried, but not worn until the student officially becomes a Justice. They are a mark of honor, and are never to be placed over the face until the prospective Justice has earned that right.

Admittedly, it was some months ago, but I think I have made it pretty clear after continous comments that if the mark made Dara leave, it was not because of what *she* thought of the mark, but rather what *Archon* thought of the mark.

EDIT - It was also noted at the time that Archon's rivalry with Laren Nightgrove was established (if that helps jog the memory).

Well - does he *plan* to tell us?

"Freak Out!"

I know when we started the game i had it in my back story that Archons first girlfriend left him because "he showed her the mark." I also remember going back and RPing Archons past. Even then though she was still surprised. Maybe all these years it's been a misunderstanding. Maybe he just thought that her surprise and revulsion and left her before she could explain herself.
I'm just saying that the encounter was a turning point for Archon and as i first understood it she "freaked out" and that reaction sent Archon on the introverted path we all know and love.

"The Clam"

Well - does he *plan* to tell us?

Honestly, not really. that's his own business and the information that he'd have on her wouldn't tell us anything about her ancestor.

That's an adequate explanation, and works for me.

Although, OOC you can all know that the next time he saw her, she was VERY attracted to the mark. She could also cast spells.

A couple of months ago OOC and, only a few days ago IC, L'Aurel had a talk with Justice - telling her that the Circle cannot have secrets from one another.

I think this is a very important standard to hold to, especially now that we are approaching the end of the game.

True, it's fun to RP with the secrets. However, at this point, I do think it's important that you take into consideration that the success of the next mission could (not does) rest on knowledge you hold about the Goldenblade family - Archonus is the only one with the knowledge... and, if he is deliberately holding in back in hopes that the mission will fail, that may be a breaking of the Oath.

Not trying to shake things up or piss anyone off - but, I do think that Kat made a good point in the "no secrets in the Circle" thing.

But, if you choose not to share it, you choose not to share it. Maybe it won't be important. Maybe, we'll walk into Khaz Borak and clean house and push a magic button that makes everything better... but, maybe not.

So, just keep that in mind, Mik as your connections may become very important.

I think Archonus is the only one left in the Circle that keeps any secrets... *shock and awe*

Right... HA!

 

[Laurel]

Um.... No more secrets is a BIG thing for L'Aurel currently. This isn't to Mik/Archonus specifically, don't worry.
But as forewarning unless there is a reason to keep it secret, just the 'Hey, I don't want to talk about' and 'couldn't find the right time' is getting old and wearing thin and in some cases leaving us without valid info that could be useful...... so just realize the longer it's kept from the circle especially once a time when it could have come up the more she honestly feels that person is breaking thier oath to stand as a circle of one, I believe were the words.....
