Actually Scoundrel, the reason most everyone seems to know one another is a feature, not a flaw. From the beginning Lillian wanted people to know one another as Adishi is a remote village, and as you've seen, some of us have coordinated back and forth to make this happen! The reason for this, is that our dear GM despises loner characters, those angsty emo fringe hangers who invariably attempt to suck all the air from the proverbial room of the RP. Loners often try to get other characters to chase after them, distracting from the main plot line, only to find out "what's wrong this time" while simultaneously never having the least bit of worthwhile character interaction with the rest of the group - unless, of course, it centers around their character's endless emotional turmoil. *big fat eyeroll* I should probably mention, I despise these types of character myself :hehe With that said, if you Scoundrel, or you Gcold, would like to have some type of interaction, past or present, with my character [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/64404/posts/ooc?page=1#post-2004816]Vasily[/url], I would welcome a PM with any ideas on your respective parts. Vasily is already a very skilled carpenter/woodsman/[i]forstmeister[/i], so perhaps Gcold, your merchant might be interested in finding a market for Vasily's wares or something along those lines? Hey, why not? Throw out anything, I'll bite! And if you Scoundrel, would like Vasily to, say, have apprenticed or some such under Tristen's father, or the like? Why not again? In addition, I've noticed that thus far there are at least three male characters of approximately the same age (Petya, Tristen and Oskar). From past experience, I can tell you the fun to be had among three inseparable guy buddies is [i]wonderful![/i] Lots and lots of fun *grins*
