That was simply... skin-crawlingly awesome! I see why it took you much longer (:, it was well worth the wait. As for any of the other NPCs, if you want to make a list of associates, that would be helpful, but feel free to add anything in! It will be welcomed! I suppose we can get started now, I'm working on a few round of posts for FoC, and another RP I'm in, but I should have it up by the end of tomorrow absolutely.

My internet is down, so I'm on my phone atm, I'll try and get a post up here soon, if not by tomorrow guaranteed!

Figured the non-player part of NPC gave me an excuse for controlling characters. ;D Right now, everyone's a bit of a blank slate. Little characterizations here and there are going to help a bunch!

And I hit your feels! How so? :o

Internet is back up, so no worries! Problems with the router it seemed.

Oh yes, I think that'll really help round out these NPCs in the end, from both of our contributions! So carry on, fortuitous soldier!

I'm working on a response now as we speak.

Yay! Welcome back to the land of the living!

We might want to put notes for the characters' personalities or any other quirks as we go so we don't contradict ourselves down the road. o_o

I agree! I'll include it a little snippet somewhere on the front page.

Also, what do you think this meeting with Mr. Irving Tindall should be about? I was thinking him being an art dealer that needed Shay and Vera to distract a couple that were selling a particular painting, that he wanted them to steal by finding out the details of where the moving trucks would be headed, what roads and such, and then having the gang hold the trucks up to take the painting.

While I like this idea, I think it might not be as explosive, as I would like. So if you have any suggestions, feel free to throw them at me.

I was thinking that this being their first assignment for the Roughers, it would be a relatively easy task, and if they could prove themselves, they would be given a more difficult job after this. Unless you want the difficult task now.

Sure, the art direction might work since paintings are often used as money laundering. It might be hard for them to get any information related to where the painting is going to be taken, and that would be very suspicious if they started asking really specific questions like which roads they were planning on taking the painting. Maybe they could inquire where the sellers usually keep their painting, or find out where they live so they could burgle the house or storage building later on, since she's great at lockpicking and Shay can do more physical tasks, like helping her hop fences, subdue guards, that kind of stuff.

I think easy's fine, they'd want to test the waters with Vera. It wouldn't make sense to throw someone untested against something above her skill and experience right away. Plus, narratively speaking, it's nice to build up to bigger things.
