[color=bdbdbd][center][img]http://nomadexperience.com/img/divider-1.png[/img] [color=DBA901][b][u]-Further Notes-[/u][/b][/color][/center] I will continue to update this post as the story progresses. Settlements and their locations, list of characters, detailed information on the irradiated zones and whats in them and a general summary of the story so far. Due to a major screw up (I accidentally navigated to a previous page and lost a ton of work) some sections of the OP may be unfinished. There is still a lot of information that I would like to add but I've put this up with a skeleton so you can all brush up on the information available and start making a character. As for where to start? How to begin? Note that the following suggestions are simply that. [color=ffffff]Possible Roles to fill:[/color] Firebender Waterbender Earthbender Airbender These are the basic four. [color=ffffff]I'm also allowing duplicates of the same element.[/color] [color=ffffff]Other roles include:[/color] Nonbender (Lives in city) Suvivor (Lives in the wild) [color=ffffff]You may start anywhere in The Republic, as a worker at the Plant, or as a survivor in the Tu Zin settlement.[/color] Discovery of their bending: Potentially the trickiest part of the story. I'll have a few opportunities available for players including an event that will take place in the lower ring near the start of the game. This is probably the easiest way out. I do not have specific plans for each element and although I'll be leaving it for the most part up to you, you may PM me and we can do a bit of brainstorming together and put something together for you character. You may start your character off with the knowledge that he/she already knows they can bend and has been hiding it. Just realize that even if they've somehow managed to stay under the radar and practice, they do not have access to bending scripts or masters. Their skills will be basic at best. A simple rock throw or a quick blast of fire from the hands. Also note that characters who you plan on suddenly discovering they can bend will have to come into contact with either Spirit Energy, a large but non lethal amount of Synergy or an artifact of some kind. They must also already be sensitive to Spirit Energy. Sounds tricky but it isn't I promise... I think. The scanning devices that the RSF use and the ones installed over doorways [i]cannot[/i] detect a sensitivity to Spirit Energy. They will only detect one's ability to bend once they actually can. Alas, after attempt number two, there is nothing left in my brain at this point and I cannot continue to think at this pace in my right mind. There's a lot of information already here so take your time with it. I know there will be questions, mostly because I don't have the mental capacity to account for [i]everything[/i] so please, if there is a plot hole that you can already see or an issue anywhere, let me know. Harass me and ask questions. Expect the rest of the OOC to be completely filled out and our game ready to go after Thanksgiving week. [center][img]http://nomadexperience.com/img/divider-1.png[/img] [color=DBA901][b][u]-Updates-[/u][/b][/color] [color=ffffff]Cataloged here for easy access.[/color][/center] [hider=11.25 2:07pm][color=DBA901][b]Update 1[/b] [/color][color=FFFFFF]11.25 2:07pm[/color] So it's Thanksgiving week and I have a lot of family business to handle. I'll be out most of the day but fear not as my mind never stops brainstorming. OOC will get some extra bits of lore and NPCs with CS's will be added as well over the next couple days. I'll indicate where the changes and additions are so you don't have to struggle to find them. I'll also pop in every now and again to check on new CS's and accept or deny them. Mostly accept. Anyways that's all I have to say for now. Expect to see these little splurbs of information not everyday but frequently. Helps to keep everyone up to date with what I'm doing and also keep everyone on the same page. Updates will be added to the OP (Further Notes) and eventually hidden. Finally... Happy Thanksgiving everyone! A day early sure but I may not be able to say it tomorrow. I'll probably be in a food coma somewhere or maybe my arms will fall off when I'm washing [i]every[/i] dish in the world. Have a great rest of the week :][/hider] [color=bdbdbd][color=DBA901][b]Update 2[/b] [/color][color=FFFFFF]11.30 5:28pm[/color] So quick little update before I stuff my face. All characters have been added to the first post in the Characters tab with a little splurb of information for each and permalinks to their CS. I plan to separate them into their respective bending elements shortly just for pretty-ness sake. Added the timeline and into the OP under the "The History" section and separated the "Items of Interest" section into two parts. The second part details the worlds factions which already included the RSF and the LSF. Added a little bit of information on the Triple Threat Triad and of course I'll keep the section (and all sections) updated as more information unfolds. I still have to add some extra NPCs with short little CSs attached so look forward to that. All in all, not too much and none of this is ultimately really important. Just thought I'd share because I mostly like talking to myself. Finally, please go ham with the story. Fill the world with lore and ideas and conflicts. Throw some of those ideas at me and let me know if you need help with plot points, directions, etc. If you'd like to collab over something just hit me up with a PM. Until then I look forward to everyone's work.[/color] [/color]
