So, I was looking back over the previous posts regarding the structure of the RP (with 'mini-adventures' to introduce each character) and the order of people getting introduced, and I'm curious about how Thengaree would go about getting folded in, or else if we would have secondary 'team up' intros (similar to the intro between Slee and Sorn) done through PMs between two players?

Probably involving one of the more heroic and/or mercenary characters getting hired to go monster hunting :P

@Eventua good question! The original idea would be to accumulate pcs: after this Sorn and Slee will meet Ven (or Zeku, if Loki isn't around), then the three of them would go meet the next PC, etc. I realize each consecutive adventure will take longer to complete since more people are posting.

Team up intros could be a thing! I'm totally open to the idea of incorporating established teams of pcs, if you'd rather do intros in collab. So if two or more pcs can/want to combine their intros, copy me in a pm collab that can eventually go up as its own chapter? It's up for discussion!

Okay, cool! :D

I will PM some of the people whose characters (by my limited reckoning) could work in an intro chapter with Thengaree and see who's interested, then will let you know if anyone responds.

I'd be down for that... obviously, the matchups would have to make sense, so that's a thing. But before you go PMing anyone, I do have a few ideas that could work. Let me finish typing them up!

Venyamin and Thengaree. An unspeakable creature was sighted on the outskirts of town. Venyamin was approached by several members of the town, in order to find and eliminate the monster. He returned with a broken-off limb as proof of its death; though only he and one other knew that he had not killed the 'giant bug'. And a favour for a favour - whilst swimming across the water, Thenagree spots a somewhat familiar face stuck on a rock. Perhaps he needs passage back to better land?
Venyamin and Hatori. The Emperor across the sea has put out a bounty on any and all samurai. Members of the Guild have taken the job, and one of Venyamin's cohorts has discovered the location of one. Venyamin tries to get there first, to warn the samurai, but is attacked when Hatori misunderstands his words. Both masters of their craft, a battle ensues, and both are impressed by the other's skill. A bond is forged, then. Venyamin promised to escort him to the guild, and present their case, to put a bounty on the Emperor's head instead. Only to have their ship leave the two of them stranded on an island.
Venyamin and Dengi. Not exactly a match-up, but they have a shared history. Bounty hunting and mercenary work aren't too far apart, after all. They've competed for marks, on occasion, and may even acknowledge one another. They wouldn't call it friendship, just... acquainted colleagues.
This may apply to either Venyamin and Zeku, or Venyamin and Fix Tale. Venyamin encounters the 2-foot high being unexpectedly, and they're obviously a little bit lost/in trouble. Clearly, they're not the most socially skilled. Not to say he is, either, but oh well. They're slightly annoying with all these facts and questions, but he'll make sure they get to their desired place (inn, ship, etc.), for his own peace of mind, and then get them out of his hair. Of course, that doesn't happen. (You could figure something out for the rock before or after, maybe from their companion realising he's not on the boat they both got on.)
Zeku and Thenagree. Outcast creatures, not truly meeting the status quo for 'acceptable' appearances, Thenagree draws attention to himself when Zeku is being forced out of the tavern - and suffered for it, as they turned on him instead. It also put Zeku under scrutiny for being an 'ally' of the creature. What would happen if Zeku were to stumble into an orchard?
Zeku and Brass. Shortly after winning his game - to the rage of his opponent, who left shortly after handing his coin over. At which point, Brass notices a disturbance from the tavern owner. He's currently harassing a small lizard person - an Uron - for not having the right currency. Not seeing this as sufficient reason to eject someone from the establishment, he steps in, newly-won coin in hand.
Zeku and Fix Tale. A chance of fate causes these two small people to both be at the same inn, briefly before Zeku is forced from the establishment. Fix's naivety only worsens the situation when she steps in, and both of them are left without a shelter for the night. However, Fix is used to the forest, and quickly helps find them a place to stay in a small bit of woodland outside of town.
Dengi and Brass. - Option One: Dengi is Brass' opponent. They're in a bit of a tense game, because both have bet what little coin they have on the match. Brass isn't exactly used to dwarves, so he may have judged a little harshly. Dengi probably thinks Brass hasn't, well, earned his brass, given he's quite young. If they pooled their resources, however, they could get along a little better.
Option 2: Seeking out the tavern in a new town, in hopes of at least being able to pay for a corner in the main room, Dengi is currently drinking at the bar. Brass, not long after his win against his opponent, is forced outside by the man and two other thugs. Most others appear not to notice, or deliberately ignore this. Dengi, suspicious, follows and sees them attempting to threaten Brass, who is keeping his cool. Drawing the thugs' attention, Dengi tells them to back off - and after a brief exchange, Brass and Dengi disable the three. Turns out they're part of a gang that are quite powerful in the surrounding villages Since they're already both in trouble for this, why not stick together a little while longer?
Dengi and Hatori. Hatori is searching for allies, and happens to come across a mercenary who, despite being of questionable morals, seems to be a powerful and honourable warrior. He makes Dengi a promise of coin in return for sticking alongside him until the Emperor is defeated.
Brass and Hatori. Similar to Option 2 from above, except there would be the option of Hatori being the one who gets in trouble, for being a foreigner. Brass intervenes. As the two step aside, the honourable samurai finds himself getting along with the trickster. He might not be totally honourable, but... he does have honour. Explaining his plight, Brass admits he isn't as selfish as he ought to be, and agrees to stick with him.

These are just from what I understand of everyone's characters. Might be wrong, might be right, you never know. But, those are a few match-ups I came up with.

@Eventua Just thought I'd let you know that the text colour you used for your CS is making me blind.. 

(I really like the character though!)

Dark blue on dark gray is not that great... It's also not helpful that Flux was making my monitors super warm coloured! (to 'protect' my eyes.)

@Rekaigan: That's okay, thanks for letting me know, is the new text colour easier to read?

Thanks anyway, I think Thengaree and Zeku will get on marvelously well when they meet :)

Murgle, this just keeps getting better, and I've been wanting to join a Mokley rp for a while, but my brain is fizzling and I think I had an error in judgement as far as my free time goes. If you're still looking for peeps when the holidays settle down and the opportunity presents itself though, you might be seeing me again. ;) Just maybe... >.> Fingers crossed.

I have a crazy idea, you guys. Tell me I'm insane.

What if every character were to start out with a 1x1 in which they meet Sorn? We could play around with timelines, it wouldn't matter when they met, only that they know each other.

So now, in the group RP, Sorn would be specifically on his way to find your character, on purpose. We'd spend a short time picking up each character, maybe a few issues to solve along the way, but possibly would be relatively quicker to get everyone onboard.

I'm just considering ways to not have people waiting for months just to post. xD

Thoughts?
