[@duskshine749][@vosenedich][@TheWizardLizard][@ShaggyDoo0][@AdobeFlash] Hey everyone, I'm just keeping you all up-to-date on my activity. I'm going to start designing the IC right now. It's late here, and I've been out-processing all day, so I'll see if I can get most of this done tonight. But I'm going to be working on it, and I'm just letting you all know it's under construction. The IC is going to map out Aiwren only in the case that your characters may be sent to the store under Overseer watch to fetch supplies for whatever job you're working *hint**hint*. Otherwise, you will also find the manor mapped out for your exploration. Some places are prohibited, which I'm sure those places will appeal to the curious type, but if you get caught, you will be beaten. Marcus Crassus is a GM-played character only for story purposes. There are some Overseers that you guys are free to create, but as soon as you name them, they'll become common characters that other players should know. You can't just pretend they don't exist, and I'll update those Overseer NPCs as they are created. If you create more NPCs, then those named NPCs will be added under the list as well. Just let me know when you do this because from now until Saturday, I'm going to be running around. I believe only Thursday and Friday I'll finally be out-processed and chilling until I fly out. Do not use NPCs in order to get your character special favors that could alter the plot. That's not what they're there for. Their purpose is just to enrich your posts. Leave the plot elements to me. I may drop some characters things that need to be investigated and it'll be up to you whether you choose to do so or not. Some things have consequences - mostly positive and not always negative. If you didn't notice the clue, then it'll be fine. I will work with you lol. But if you need to read how this arc is supposed to go just refer to the second post of the OOC. I summarized it there. Final words, while you guys are waiting for the IC to go up, please discuss character relations. If you think your character would get along with so-and-so, dislike so-and-so, create a rivalry with so-and-so, be protective of so-and-so, etc. Then you can create those opinions and add them to your character sheets only if they're approved by both parties. [b]Edit-Added Info:[/b] So after I post this standard IC post, there is going to be a big banquet starting out the game and your characters are going to see some very important historical figures there.
