[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 3185345, member: 7280"] To be honest I'm really not sure at all how to handle vignette #3. The way I'm seeing it, Janis probably feels some real affection toward Selase and perhaps even some fondness of familiarity toward Daellin despite their near polar opposite viewpoints on many apparent issues. The group of Flamers though? Janis doesn't seem like one of those people who'd just "like" someone without a clear motive. Maybe if we introduced a cardboard character to tie them together? A character whose whole reason for existing is to act as a glue to keep the other character sheets bound together before he/she dies in some noteworthy fashion off stage? Someone who would be appealing to Janis but also be appealing to Thrane priests and such? We did it a little bit for extra pushing in some of the Reconquista stuff, with older brothers who were dallying romantically with the other players and my character Mavic even has an armsman that gets killed in one of the first vignettes to pave the way for his current cohort. So anyways, Janis is much less of a do-gooder than anyone else in the party. She needs a selfish reason or a reason of familiarity/comfort to hang out with a lot of people. Hell, she probably needs more of an excuse to adventure in the first place than everyone else because she's becoming pretty placid and reactive in general in her writeups. I'm getting a picture of someone who doesn't do much proactively, but once she comes to a decision she can be a force of nature. Daellin and Janis could be companions because they've reached a sort of truce built upon mutual respect. Selase has her oh so appealing philosophy of self-empowerment. I'm just having trouble coupling the two vignette paths very well in my mind. Anyone have any ideas? [/QUOTE]
