When this all began on the old site it was a bit of a slower paced RP, something I think a lot of people liked since we all had pretty hectic schedules. What would you say LJ, Scout, Night, Orion, and Zeph, it was about a post a week per player once the IC started if I remember right. I also remember the OOC being filled with us all creating character relationships and world info. The relationships cannot come until LJ makes her final cast choices but some of that world info is open for input. If any of our newcomers want to get into the collaborative world building aspect of this story (as I have with the Red Seminary info and the Omestri info) I would be more than willing to help you navigate all the info that has been established already. One of the biggest things (I think) that shape this world is the absence of fire. Since the fire titan was killed that element has been eliminated from the "natural order" and the word fire has become something heretical and unknown. Instead ether has taken over as a whole new power. I think that is the most important thing LJ has done is replace fire with ether, something that drives everything and is in everyone. Role playing that out can open a lot of opportunities for creative thinking. Another neat thing is the character dynamic of the inquisitors. Our characters are, of course, powerful, talented, and skilled far beyond the average soldier but as inquisitors we are all fresh from training and all very young at 22 or less. I mean the human brain is not even completely developed until 25+ so how does all that skill mesh with newly ordained people that are just breaking out of adolescence into young adult-hood. I always believed (and stuck around) because LJ created an environment that focused on the characters and not just wielding power. Just some food for thought, trying to share what I can from the olden days so everyone has the best ideas going into this.
