@Narcotic Dollie When Ali stabbed her own goddamn shoulder I literally gripped my own and whisper screamed "brutal as all hell!" xD I was not expecting that jfc

@Snarl MUHAHAHA! I'm all about mutilating my characters, it's the best part! :D If she'd had her hands untied I probably would have had her tear pieces of her nightgown to leave as markers and then climb a tree, but I honestly liked this better anyways. Glad it surprised you!

Alright, so @ViolentViolet and I were talking and we were wondering if you guys would be willing to play your own parents? We're a little worried we might get burned out if we have to play them all.

Snarl left us a basic summary of each parent's personality, so we could either post it here or pm it to you individually, if you prefer.

As for the story, I'm kind of waiting for@Adorabadass to post so I can make Ezra follow his lead and find the group to give them a bit of information. We were also thinking about having the flowers bloom individually throughout this whole rescue mission, whenever one of them does something incredibly brave or they go through something life threatening. Thoughts?

@Savo @BlueAjah @Lionheart @Adorabadass

@Narcotic Dollie I guess I wouldn't mind playing the Mayor but I'll probably have to ask you guys about town decisions for him. You can go ahead and post his personality on here I guess.

As for the flowers blooming, I think that's a great idea. :)

@BlueAjah that's fine, if we need him to do town stuff we'll either tell you exactly what needs to happen or we'll take him over for a post, whichever you prefer.

This is what Snarl had to say about how to play the mayor.

The Mayor is a retired hero. Think of him as Santa claus mixed with a lumberjack and a viking- with a little dash of Socrates. The mayor, for all his brawn, knows how to lead his people. Never play him as simply the man with muscle- he has a brain too.

Glad you liked the flower idea, Violet actually came up with it. ^.^

I'm fine with posting for Farrest. Go ahead and pm me the details.

I can play Marian, and I will hopefully post soon. As sad as I am to see Snarl leave the rp, I'm glad we still have awesome co-gms. :D

Also, I like the idea of the flowers opening over the course of the mission. Can cause some badads moments.

Actually, do you know what idea I like better? I've been thinking about it and maybe it'd be far more interesting if we each played another's parent. The GMs still get to delegate and we still end up playing parents but now we aren't RPing with ourselves the whole time.

@Lionheart I think that's a great idea! I would totally be up for that.

EDIT: Hey @Adorabadass, did you by chance read my last post?

That sounds like a solid plan. @ViolentViolet What do you think?

I'm going to try to work up an Ezra post tonight. It's gonna be a little different, since I've never played anyone like him before, so bear with me!

@Narcotic Dollie
I don't mind that, it would be pretty cool to see others play our parents lol. Thanx for the idea :)

@BlueAjah

Yep. I just figured Varric was that deep of a sleeper. He'll just be confused why Gwen is embarrassed later. :p

Ok, so I'll just post what Snarl had to say about how to play the parents here, so y'all can pick who you want to take over.

The Mayor is a retired hero. Think of him as Santa claus mixed with a lumberjack and a viking- with a little dash of Socrates. The mayor, for all his brawn, knows how to lead his people. Never play him as simply the man with muscle- he has a brain too.

The Doctor is humble. He refuses acknowledge his royal roots because court life is as cut-throat as it is extravagant. He doesn't want his daughters future to be filled with lies and deceit. While Alixanna is away play him as grief stricken and afraid.

The Ranger is all about justice. He's like a cop to Vale. So have him dutifully patrolling until Alixanna returns. He isn't worried about Varric. But for his wife, Marianne, make sure to mention that he worries for her. She's what makes him weak.

The Thief should be played as cold and ruthless- snarky and rude. She's a bitch but she is willing to help the children, I believe, and will be some sort of salvation to the whole situation. You can find out how.

The Bard...Ask Adorabadass. Or simply make her act like Varric but with a more feminine allure.

The blacksmith is the one character I regret not playing before I left. She's amazing, what I had in mind for her. Loud and proud- fiercely protective of her son. She's a woman of action with no fears but the safety of her boy.

I think either @ViolentViolet or I should play the mayor, just in case we need him for village stuff.

Before forget to mention, I won't be here to the most part tomorrow... then again, seeing as I rarely post in ooc here, I think I'll be fine :p

Anyways, that's all I have to say! Talk to you guys tomorrow when I get the time!

I'll help describe the bard. :p

Think of every rogue-ish hero stereotype ever. Freaking save the lady, say a clever quip, do the ridiculously impossible and do it all in a sexy open shirt.

That's the sorta hero Marion was. She slew dragons, slept with a minor nature god, once slew a not-so-minor god of destruction, and has probably deflowered her own continent's worth of virgins.

Now, she is now retired. Her concerns are less "save the world" and more "Varric wtf you didn't even seduce that young maiden I raised you wrong boy." She wants to inspire her son to be the sort of hero she was.

Now, since Varric has had a considerably easier childhood than her, he's kinda spoiled. As rogueish as she is, Marion actually does NOT like some of Varric's pranks. Many are funny, she feels, but they really can be assholeish.

She's like an older ultra badass Varric who is actually responsible. She's the crazy awesome war veteran vodka ain't that you can trust with your kids.

Also, she loves to tell stories. Mythology, personal anecdotes, bold-faced lies, all her favorites.

Also, she always seems to be in a good mood. In combat, even. It's...actually kinda off putting. Like, one of her bffs could die in front her and she'd be like, "ha, villain! You may have roasted my son to death, but you'll notice that I'm the one who's really on fire!"

She just puts off emotions until she can talk about them with a friend.

Oh, also, she is the ultimate MILF. Seriously. The seduce is strong with this one.

Ezra's off to find Varric, who's looking for Guinevere, who's trying to find Aldric. XD

Anyway, I'm sorta waiting for some kind of development before I post again. Ideally that'd be Guinevere locating Aldric. And as for parents, I'm good with playing the thief or blacksmith. Admittedly though the mayor appeals to me the most from a character perspective, just thought that worth mentioning.

@Lionheart I'm cool with you playing the mayor, if that's your favorite, as long as we can use him for plot points later. @ViolentViolet Are you ok with this?

I'll just take the leftover parent, I'm not super picky. :P

Yeah, I wasn't 100% sure where everyone was at, so I kind of left Ezra's post open. I'm trying to let everyone get together so we don't have to do the explanation more than once. We still need Illya and Laciel to post as well.

It doesn't matter which parent I play either :)

@Narcotic Dollie
I suppose I don't mind too much as long as we get to use him when we need to, since he's for plot and all.

And I will get to posting soon. Just after I get one other - they've been waiting longer than here - and fold my laundry - my mother is bugging about it.
