[QUOTE="Funeris, post: 2663120, member: 22792"] I'm aware of what Cassock knew at this point, thank you very much :p By calling your PC Hendrick and Cassock as well as his father Morgan and Morrick within the same dream sequence, I'm bridging the gap between past and present. Hehe...that could be an interesting choice of words for you...since you know what happens between now and our current situation. For the readers, just know that I'm bridging a gap. Perhaps Cassock's subconscious ([i]if that's what it truly was[/i]) was putting pieces of the puzzle together. Maybe not. Maybe its something else. [i]::Shrugs noncommittally::[/i] Haha. Cassock is very dangerous to all anyway. But don't worry...I'm leading you toward a "fall". Knew you would....[i]you self centered bastard[/i] :D Okay...at a point in the not so distant future of this SH, we gain another character. The whole campaign spirals haphazardly toward oblivion (powercreep)...and I decide to plug the dam, temporarily. It felt to me...as if no one knew their characters and inner motivations very well. Some still don't ([i]sigh[/i]). But basically, I sent out a questionnaire...to help add more depth to the characters. So that motivations could be found within their psyches....so that they could be more realistic. So far...you've seen two examples of the result of this questionnaire: The first being Rhynos' flashbacks...(yes, he becomes a PC...and yes, he's evil [i]but everyone else at his point was chaotic neutral [which is severely abused][/i]...and yeah, I allow that intra-party conflict...not that it has happened...but if it were to happen...It'd be kosher as long as everyone remembers its a game) [b]AND[/b] the second being the small passage just posted. Cassie and Terwin are two names from Yeti's questionnaire of childhood friends...and he explicitly stated that as a child he had a crush on Cassie. So now, we have depth. Also...so that everyone could fully grasp their personalities and not just their To-Hit-modifiers, I pull the characters off the main plot arc...and throw them to a place where they can do very little or no harm to the main story line...while figuring their personalities out. So, be prepared and consider yourself warned...in another chapter or two we're going to depart from the main story arc...and there will be some changes. But it's all I could do to keep it together. Now, Terwin is obviously a half-elf. He's also a wizard and while a little older than Cassock (a year or two)...was already apprenticed to Baron Tyne's mage for training. I think that about covers it ;) ~Fune [/QUOTE]
