@Lord Sawsaw2 I'd say Kyuuten mostly did minor or casual jobs on his own but would join up with the team on big jobs whenever they came up.

good lord, i don't think anyone in golem's hand is a good leader

Dreadlin basically sums that pretty well past his hard accent.

@SilverDawn Nonsense, Jack will lead you to glory! You may loose a limb or two, but the satisfaction of a job well done will make it worth it. :)

@pkken Eventually perhaps. Vega is much more aggressively solo at this point. Maybe further down the line, but for now he's not likely to cooperate except for on the fly. In the heat of battle he'll take any opportunity he can get, as dirty as they may be.

@Lord Sawsaw2

Alright, so I made some changes to Pan to hopefully bring 'em up to snuff. I focused on trying to make him more viable in combat while still keeping the whole theme of peaceful, non-violent fighter. Changelog below hits all the major points, but the full changes are just on the earlier posted sheet.

These are all fine. Your character sheet is approved to go up in the Characters tab.

@Lord Sawsaw2 I think Dreadlin can put up with leadership. He may not want it at first for personal humble opinions, but he will most likely eventually warm up to it and share it with pride.

(And even with age, he may technically be 64, but in Lizardmen years he's equivalent around middle-aged... more in the late 30s and mid 40s when compared to humans.)

How does this sound then: Kyuuten and Dreadlin have been call-in additions to the team once or twice in the last few months, and with the present announcement, Illedrith will be asking them to join the team in a pseudo-permanent fashion for the forseeable future. As for team leadership, Illedrith will be pressing Dreadlin to take on a more leadership based role on the behest of Arianna in order to see him grow as part of the guild.

@Suku and @Ogobrogo, do you have a particular way that you want Saeko and Pan to be fitted into the team? I have a couple of simple ideas to make it all fit if you don't have any feelings about it, but it's entirely your prerogative to be fitted in as you see fit.

For you Golem's Hand fellows, if you can't think of a reason why you'd all be working together in a team before the announcement, an easy fix is that you were simply the only four individuals entirely without a team: Vega for being...Vega, Kazue because splitting money for jobs with people would be unacceptable, Jack because his old teams despaired of him just hurling himself at every vaguely threatening person on any given job, Damian because he was late to Delsin's announcement and there was no space on any of the other teams (I dunno, there's no reason he wouldn't have a team otherwise?).

Anyway, just a suggestion, feel free to request something of the NPCs if you think their intervention would be helpful for your character/team.

I don't see a problem with this. All good with me! It will also make Dreadlin look a little better in regards to the public as well.

*Everyone rides into battle ontop Dreadlin's fire monster as if it was Grimlock or something*

Considering all the characters, that's very likely. Vega would be going off on missions on his own anyways. If he works with anyone it's pure coincidence and that their jobs crossed together at some point.

@Lord Sawsaw2
I don't really have a preference on the matter, so if you have an idea, I'm game. If not, well...I don't see Pan saying no if asked for help. Probably wouldn't sit well with the old man to just sit around while a bunch of youngsters put themselves in danger.

@Lmpkio
I didn't know how much I wanted that until right now. Bless you fire dinosaur man.

@Sho Minazuki Vega to Pan: "Hah? Are you meant to represent the Harpy Pensioner Program or something? It looks shit"

That's a low blow Vega... even to a crazy jolly ole' environmentalist like him.

If you don't mind, then I'll introduce the way into the team in my first IC post.

@Sho Minazuki sounds good, Damien will probably play the voice of reason
in the team xD. Most likely always the last to fight.

Oh man do we have a crack team.

Hmm... since there are a couple of people here already, hope ya don't mind me expressing some interest here; didn't see that you're slowing down apps until a bud pointed out that you were slowing down apps. Might as well get my hat in the ring... or line while there's still enough time, and not a whole lot of people.

Other than that, adieu for now! String bean or possibly the hunter-ish looking man will have to wait!

I know. Im saying I accept it lol

@Lord Sawsaw2I have no particular ideas and feel free to put with a team where she will be useful in or not.

Hey! Thanks for expressing interest. With almost all of the people who have expressed interest having approved characters, you've got in just in time to join at the start of the story! If you're happy for your character to be a Golem's Hand character (there's not really space in Harpy's Wing at the moment) then feel free to start work on a CS. Just be aware that the story will probably start ploughing ahead without you unless you're quick.

@Lord Sawsaw2I have no particular ideas and feel free to put with a team where she will be useful in or not.

Alright then, yours is easy, how about you've been a regular of the team for a while now? As one of her cute little sisters, Illedrith would almost certainly have taken you under her wing if you were without a team. Thoughts?

Alrighty, we're in the twilight hours of character creation now! I'll soon be posting up the first IC post, so make sure you've got your character at 100%, including opinions/relationships and a last check to make sure everything else is in order.

Feel free to keep up the conversation on how the teams work, since unless you draw blanks I'd rather leave that creative process up to you all; it's important for you to figure out why you're all working together if your teams are going to remain stable in the story for the long haul!

@Joker892 Jack ran into a few lizardman friends to kill them? May not wanna tell Dreadlin that or give him a hard liquor after telling him. :P

(Do explain cause Im actually curious)

@Lmpkio Oh well I was thinking that in Jacks time as a mercenary he was hired by a few nobles who were interested in Dreadlin's race and had either captured them and gave them to the nobles as slaves, or killed them and taken their remains back so the nobles could do whatever they wanted with them. I was just thinking it could be a bit interesting and make for some good future scenes. What do ya think?

@Lord Sawsaw2 ouch, looks like I was waaaaaay too late considering the character I was currently working on was going to join the Harpy's Wing for... superficial reasons at first. Kinda sucks I have to drop him, but hey, that's the way the cookie crumbles!

I'm really glad I had the hunter d00d now. Good news is I can work with this, bad news is I have not worked on the Golem's Hand dude at all, so I have no idea what his magic will be, name, etc. Glimmers of personality here and there over being possibly the 2nd least assholish of the whole guild so far, but still.

So in a shellnut, I might be a bit... late on him since I'm in a bit of a rut. Anyways, I'll try my best to get him up as soon as possible.
