Are all of you still around? This is a check in before I decide how to move along. I get the distinct impression that having meetings isn't really drawing characters together in the way I had intended it to. I'm either going to consider a natural way to introduce a measure of action into the picture, or I may waive the "main plot," as we know it, but leave it in place so as to allow people to somewhat sandbox things as pointing people in the right direction and then trying to guide does not appear to be working as I wanted it to.

So this goes one of three ways.

1.) I find a way to introduce a measure of action as mentioned and so kick start the plot and hopefully people's enthusiasm.
2.) We reboot, you can keep your characters as you wish, but the RP will be more sandboxy in nature and I may create a few NPCs unrelated to the forming rebellion, or PART OF said rebellion and thus disturbing the formerly peaceful lives of the characters.
3.) Ya'll supply ideas you think would draw you in and make you want to post/interact more and I enact those with some help from the GMs or work them into a reboot.

@Celaira@yoshua171@icmasticc@Ganryu@ExhaustinAustin@Kibaro@Darked13@Fallenreaper@Sage

I vote for Number 1+3, because 1) I'm still in the process of using my villains to draw folks in and have a chain of events planned to start the action. Haven't really gotten a chance yet to start doing so. And 3) I'm also very curious to know what things would draw people into the plot. I've already gotten a few people enthused and ready for action. =)

@yoshua171

I’m still around myself. Currently, I’m merely stuck in place because I’m waiting for Rumples to get Rico approved and we can post the collab up, giving Charles a reason to arrive there. Other than that, I can’t really do anything else until that happens and that was the only way I could actually get him involved in a short period.

So this goes one of three ways.

1.) I find a way to introduce a measure of action as mentioned and so kick start the plot and hopefully people's enthusiasm.
2.) We reboot, you can keep your characters as you wish, but the RP will be more sandboxy in nature and I may create a few NPCs unrelated to the forming rebellion, or PART OF said rebellion and thus disturbing the formerly peaceful lives of the characters.

@yoshua171

I honestly think reboot should be a last option. I like the combination of 1 and 3, mostly because you could take whatever ideas the players have, then combine them with a measure of action to draw people in. I worked out a way for Charles to get involved, but however I would like to see more than just one source to be a conflict and drive to continue. Also additional stuff that could be shown through IC conflicts with the PCs are sprouting in my head.

[Ganryu]

I'd be fine to post if other people did. One of my characters is in jail.... so that'd be great if it gets remedied. I'm game for anything though.

[Darked13]

Currently, college, among other things, is asking more of my time than I would expect, so I can't really focus on on the RP. Even the time I've tried to put into figuring out what to do didn't really help me to be able to put down a post, so I can't say if I will be able to continue the RP considering I will have my first exams in two weeks. x.x

After that, I should be able to attempt to make a post from the bottom of my heart. (After I get the grades, that is.)

Otherwise, I'd be fine with any of the three options, a combination of 1 and 3, or even just a reboot.

[WardenCelestine]

-Waves- I am still here.

Sandbox RP is fun, but everyone will have to stick together.

☀...Ａｐｐｅａｒａｎｃｅ...☀



☀Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ☀

ஜ Optimistic-
She is a very optimistic girl, this trait was dampened quite a bit when her mother was killed, and she has a high hope that one day she could learn the prae side of her and could be accepted for who she is and what she is not. She never really lets all the negative things affect her unless it is something big and tragic against her.
ஜ Conscientious-
She is a very responsible girl and this showed when she willing took a job at the age of 14 to help her mother pay things off for their apartment. She is also very honest. If she finds a lie in anything and knows it is a lie, she will call the person out on it not caring if she receives hate about it.
ஜ Controlled and Spontaneous-
She can be controlled in many situations, but there will be some, like her mother’s dead, where she loses all control she holds and will be spontaneous, like crying herself to near unconsciousness before getting back on her feet and being more controlled again.
ஜ Intrepid-
Since she is half prea and human, she receives a lot of hate from the humans she was raised around, but she doesn’t let it get her down. In her kind, it's their opinion about her, but her own so she learned to ignore it. If they couldn’t take her for who she is, then they are not worthy of knowing her.
ஜ Agreeable-
She is a very agreeable and open minded person and she can forgive people, but to some extent. It had to depend on the badness of a situation will determine whether or not she would forgive something.
ஜ Engaging-
She is a social butterfly once she opens up to people, it's hard for her to do this with all the hate she receives all because she is not full human like the people at her now former school.
ஜ Conventional-
She is not one to be fooled by any tricks nor does she let her fantasies cloud her judgement. She is pretty down to earth and can get very serious when it comes for it.

☀Ｈｉｓｔｏｒｙ☀

Azulia Ellison was born in the year of 2038 in San Francisco, California. Her birth was not the usual kind, in fact she wasn’t even supposed to be born. Her father was a Prae official who was on Medus for a long term diplomatic visit with the United States. When he got there, he met her mother, who was going to be his secretary while he was there working in the United States. At first they kept a strict work relationship for a couple months until he began to notice her more human emotions.During certain times of the month, her emotions change like crazy. She would go from irritated to sad and then to happy. He began to get closer to see if he could understand more of this and that ended up with them being intimate 3 months later in his office.

Three weeks later, her father noticed that she would be constantly throwing up most of the day and she couldn’t handle eating or even smelling the food she ate to keep her healthy, so he sent her on her break. Her mother took the chance to go to the convenience store to buy a home pregnancy test and went back to her work. Within 15 minutes of taking the test, it had came out positive and she immediately told him that she was going to have his child. He knew he could get in trouble if anyone found out he got a human pregnant with his offspring, so he allowed her to move into the place he was currently living in and helped to take care of her. He wondered if he finally figured out the ways of the human female.

It turned out he was wrong when she was around 5 months pregnant. She had began to get bigger around her stomach and she started to show the same crazy emotions like she did before he got her pregnancy, only they were even worse. This baffled him more and he was back to square one.

Azulia was born four month later. She took most of her mother’s features, but she had her dad’s nose and lips and the crystals her father had. The first two years seemed fine between her mother and father as they raised Azuli. That was until he began to try and train her in Prae ways. He started to mold his child into the best path for her future.

Her mother, who noticed, began to get on his case about it and saying things like.”She can learn them when she is older” or “Stop trying to train her in your ways because she needs to learn to be human first.” This caused a serious dilemma for him. He wanted to raise his child into his world and maybe take her to the queen to make her a full prae, but the mother of his child kept preventing that and in the final three years, her mother and father began to separate from one another. Shortly after her fifth birthday, her father ended up leaving with no word. He just packed his things and left.

Her mother, angry and upset, decided she didn’t need him to help raise her child. She began to to take classes to be a nurse while still doing her job as a secretary on the side so they could keep their home. Four years later, her mother got her Associates Degree for Nursing and received a job at the VA hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. She dropped her job as a secretary and within a week, they were completely moved in a fairly nice apartment within the city.

As Azulia got older, she began to get curious about the other half of herself, the Prae have of her. She tried to ask her mother, but she stopped when her mother changed the topic or told her she shouldn’t worry about it. When Azulia turned 11, she began to wonder whether or not she had abilities since she had seen other humans, including some of the friends she did managed to make, had magica; abilities. She began to think while she sat in her seat at lunch as she took a hold of her spoon. Her mind went to the thought of seeing it bend and to her surprise, it did. She began to test it more with any metals she could get a hold of, including her mother’s jewelry and found out she could manipulate any metal she touched, this thought strengthen when she tried it on a metal piece that she didn’t touch and it didn’t do anything.

For a couple years, she continued to do this and began to better herself at it the best she could. She nearly got caught by her mother, but was able to cover it up by hiding the evidence. After a while she began to use this skill as a way to prank people. Most people assumed since she just had a human mother and no father that she was mostly in touched with her human side, and was basically like the rest of them. Often, they thought the pranks would come from the other people instead.

When she was 14, she got her first job at a little flower shop that was owned by an old human couple so she could help her mother pay things off. She helped with flower arrangements primarily, unload items from the truck, did short range deliveries and other light tasks. She was a happy child and teen, however that changed a year later.

It was a night she had off from work, so she went straight home from school that day. She saw her mom wasn't there, but she just shrugged it off as her mother was working late again. She did her homework, heated up some leftovers for dinner and then went to bed. The next morning, she woke up to a knock coming from the front door. Confused to why her mother hadn’t answered it, she got up and went to it after getting a robe on. When she opened the door, she saw two police officers standing there. She felt like a part of her died when she received the news that her mother was killed in a car accident on the way home in the wee hours of the morning, Since she was a minor, the police officers helped her pack her things and a lady from Child Services came and got her, taking her to a local orphanage where she stayed for a week until relatives were found or future arrangements were made.

Shortly after the funeral, she went to the reading of the will alone as she didn’t have any suitable family members besides her mother. She learned that she would be moving all the way to Europe to live with a someone name Charles Aeon. She received a letter that was attached to her mother’s will that she would have to give to Charles when she got there. It had his home address, picture and the letter explained to him that he would her future care taker. She got on a plane later on that night and landed in Europe in the early morning hours, from there she hopefully arrive right at his door step.

Metal Manipulation
Metal Transmute

Note-This is her max abilities in magic so far
ஜ: Spell name-Metal Touch Telekinesis
An ability common to all Prae. Through even the briefest touch she can any manipulate inanimate metal objects enough to push, pull, and more without actually altering its base structure. She uses this ability to prank unsuspecting humans she went to school with, including the teachers and it caused her to get away with the pranks.

✔The range is up to 7.5 ft of where she can use this ability. This was ideal for her since the classrooms from her old school was 5 by 5 and she could pull any prank with this ability from her desk.

Limitation:

✘Must touch whatever metal she is plans on manipulating with skin to surface contact before she can fully use the ability. She does not know that she is infusing her vis in order to make this happen, she thinks this is part of her human side. She can’t change the amount of metal from its original amount. For example: If she has a metal coin, that would only be an inch or two of metal she has.
ஜ: Spell name-Metal Transmute
This ability allow to transmute metals from one place to another while also changing the shape to make it lighter for her to use the ability. She used this for many pranks like making a metal float in mid air in the middle of class or using her ability to write for her when her hand was hurting from flower arrangements and deliveries.

✔The transmute range is about 7 feet away from her location. Because she is transmuting a metal from one place to another, her range would be shorter than her Metal Touch Telekinesis because this abilities requires her to do more.

Limitation:

✘She must have touched the metal beforehand before she could be able to transmute the metal to another place. She also had to have study metal properties beforehand as well. She could thanks to her chemistry class and studying of metals gave her the advantage without her mother being suspicious.

♤...Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ...♤

ஜ Reserved
Killian keeps his opinions to himself most of the time. The young man can go nearly hours on end without so much as a peep but when asked what his opinions are you better be ready. The truth will only then slip from his lips no matter the consequences.
ஜ Cold
The young man tends to give off a rather cold chill towards others.
ஜ Bad outlook on life
The guy had been abandoned by his parents at a very young age. The foster parents that he lived with set some rules down and ignored his the rest of the time just to go another steady income of the home. He had murdered someone very close to him in order to join a gang in order to escape his crappy life, only to regret this action with time. Hence why the young man ran away from the group and hides his past
ஜ Shuts others out
Killian tries to keep others away. Mainly because of everything that happened. People had shown to be what they didn't seem like in the beginning just ignited the slow burning embers inside his heart.
ஜ Trust Issues
People betraying so many times makes trusting again much harder. This is one of the many reasons. This has lessen while Killian has been under Charles’ care.
ஜ Organised
Killian used to be to very organised which has diminished with time and owning his own apartment. The guy has a semi chaotic system but everything is placed where the man can find it. Everything from Art supplies, paint brushes, notebook, and ect are placed in certain areas.
♤...Ｈｉｓｔｏｒｙ...♤

Killian Damien Jones was born on August 15, 2038 to a Mary Jessica Jones and Leon Eric Jones. They were a very happy family, granted at times some things seemed a bit wrong with the couple, but the boy just shrugged it off. He didn't think much of it until he turned 8 years old. His parent’s room was cleaned out. Their dresser drawers were left opened and bear making the child think they were coming back for him. There was a soft and gently knock on the door, causing excitement to rise inside his small body, as Killian walked towards the door. He opened it and saw that it wasn't his parents at all. He shifted his head to the side as she asked to be let inside, which he did since he was taught to do so, only for the strange person to move past him and up the stairs. The boy followed her while trying to figure out what in the world was going on. The woman pack his clothes, some stuffed animals, and couple of other things he needed. The kid tried hard to stop her, only to be taken away from his home.

The young man stayed in the foster system while bouncing from home to home. At the age of 12 the young boy was introduced to another family. It was his third or fourth family in his lifetime so the kid wasn't hoping for these people to stick around for long, which was what the other families had done. The people seemed nice at the meeting. They seemed very interested in the child’s likes and dislikes, hobbies, and sports. After a few more meetings the guy asked if they could take Killian home. The woman answered that he need to be ready in an hour, as if gathering his things was a problem. When they arrived at the couple’s home it was a rather nice home. The people explained how the place worked, what chores he had to do, and some strict rules. Other than that the kid could go and Cole as he pleased. The people just treated the kid much like a regular paycheck. The interactions were limited to mostly mealtimes. Which caused to the kid to look for an escape.

Killian was 13 years old when he joined up with gang. He had been assigned to do drug runs mostly. He was small enough to pass into another gang’s territory, which a huge advantage not adding the the teenager lived farther away, allowing a possible enhancement in territory. The kid did the small jobs without complaining unlike the new recruits who were beaten for asking. The kid kept his head down and eyes opened for different gang members . The group had some allies with another drug gang but the friendship seemed to dwindle with each new leader. As the years went on Killian’s responsibilities become more important and crucial to the guy’s family. By the time his 16th birthday came around the group had made more enemies than friends, making even walking the streets dangerous in certain areas.

The guy was on his way to school when he bumped in a couple of friends hanging out on their hangout area. They were talking like normal teenager when a black car drove by. There were at least two people that the young man could see of but the muzzle flashes told a different story. Killian was able to suck into cover only getting clipped by a bullet in the leg. The place stung like a burn. After the car left he shifted out of cover and saw something he wished he didn't. Two of his friends were already dead but the third one was against the wall slowly bleeding out, so the man rushed towards the other boy, and took his shirt off. The young man placed the shirt on the wound and placed pressure over the top. He keep claiming it was going to be okay over and over again as he picked up his friend’s cellphone and dialed 911. As the ambulance slowly worked towards their location the friend died in his arms. This was a huge wake up call for the teenager. The choice was simple. Either get out or die for something stupid.

The young man tried to quietly finish high school while somehow managing to dodge the once claimed family. When his life was threatened he ran. Leaving everything behind and has never even looked back since. After constantly being off the radar he noticed some changes forcing a lot of betrayal from those who knew his many aliases. Eventually Killian had met Charles on the run, who unlike anyone he had met, seemed to help him stop running and form a brand new life. The young man had been with the guy’s student ever since.

Shapeshifting
Electricity
ஜ: Shock Wave This stuns enemies for about an hour at the highest. The effect and how long it lasts depends on the voltage level. 5 minutes is the lowest amount of time that the spell lasts, mainly due to this being on the very lowest setting. 1 hour is the highest he can use mainly due to being resisted. If Killian tries to go higher he is going to receive a very bad back fire.

ஜ: Mimic
Killian is able to copy any person he remembers. Being an artist helps with this because it allows him to be more accurate. As much as the guy used this in his younger years he's a bit rusty at the skill. Mainly due to trying to allows mimicking Charles which has not happened yet. Granted the man tries every morning and will claimed, when asked, will be able to become the perfect copy.

ஜ:Bone Guard
Part of his shapeshifting is turning his skin into bone. This allows for Killian to use this spell as more of a defensive spell. It helps more with weapons than spell mainly because spell will eventually begin to chip the spell away. With a powerful spell Bone Guard will unfortunately be broken completely while harming the caster.
Strengths:

✔ When cast correctly the guy can stop the opponent for the limited time frame. He is able to have a head start casting another spell.

✔ For mimic Killian is able to use this to move from place to place without anyone knowing. He constantly used this in his younger years while on the run which was the actual way Charles and him had met.

✔ Bone Guard is more of a defensive spell. This is one of the quicker spells to be cast but depending on how much of Killian’s body is encased. For small weapons it's his hand to his wrist, medium would be hand to elbow, and higher weapons and tech would be from hand to shoulder.

Limitation:

✘ Can only cast for an hour or else the magic backfires. This will hurt the guy on the casting part of the his body or where he plans to place the jolt on the enemy. Now while casting the opponent can interrupt the young man and receive a lower setting than originally wanted.

✘ He needs to study the person’s factual features to make a perfect copy. If it's a quick look then there will be several things wrong with it. This is one of the reasons he has a sketchbook on him at all times.

✘ One single powerful spell can literally break the spell. This would cause shards of bone to fly in multiple directions and most time hitting Killian in the process or possibly making the man fly backwards. Depending on how much of his skin needs to be used is how much time will be needed.

My first CS approved.

Weep.

And with that, the debut post.

[yoshua171]

Alright. Before I respond to the bit I put up a few days ago, I'd like to again notify Luna and Angel that I will get to their characters. Work is just killing me right now (it's a rare 5 day work week for me and I hate it oh so much) so as soon as I have a couple days off your characters will get swiftly reviewed. I'll also have Megan remind me so I don't forget, what with my bad memory and all. I thank you both for your patience. Now, moving on.

So 1 and 3 it is, which brings us to the next step. What do ya'll want to see from the IC thread? Stuff that would pull you and engage your characters in particular. I have written something of an IC post, but have kept myself from putting it up because it feels forced and I feel like it's a bit too much and/or is too much of a broad stroke than a directed effort. So I need a bit of feedback if I can trouble you all for some.

@Rumplestiltskin@Luna@Demonic Angel@Andromedai@Darked13@Ganryu@Fallenreaper

Some likely types of feedback I'd find helpful, though feel free to expand beyond this.

• What intrigues you. What sort of things make you personally feel invested, engaged, and gives you the urge, the passion, to post? Points if you give examples.
• What are your thoughts about where we are/were in the plot right now (The gatherings/meetings)?
• What would you like to avoid in terms of interactions in the immediate future?
• Things that, so far, have caught your interest.
• Your thoughts on the scope and direction of things. (The Resistance and what is causing it)? Is it too big? Is it not involved enough, or do you feel it is not justified at current time)
• What would you like to have addressed? (Mentioning it does not mean it will be addressed immediately, just fyi. This is for my notes, if you will *wink*)
• When you joined this RP, what did you see yourself/your characters doing?
• Miscellaneous. Feel free to suggest stuff to add to this list for others. If you do so, make sure to answer the question(s) you add.

Also I know you got wrapped up in work, @icmasticc, but I haven't heard from you in a looong while buddy. I'd love if you'd drop me a line somewhere. Till then consider your introduced characters put in a sort of "background stasis." I won't use them for anything. You can resume when/if you return--and I hope you do--so yeah there's that. Since they're not in the way I see no reason to kill them off or use them personally...for now at least (plus I don't like taking control of other people's characters).

As to you three, @ExhaustinAustin, @Kibaro, @Sage I assure you all that MA is still here, so I'd love it if I could get a bit of feedback, or your official withdrawal/status update in regards to the RP. I don't think it's too much for me to ask if you're still around or have unofficially left. If you are still around, throw me a message and, provided you have the time, give some feedback on the above please.

[Sage]

I'm here.

What intrigues you. What sort of things make you personally feel invested, engaged, and gives you the urge, the passion, to post? Points if you give examples.

Being able to plot, scheme and weave a story with others to create a fun, and interesting story for all those involved. I enjoy working with people and honestly determining connections which is part of the reason I made Charles like I did, where there was many connecting points like student, co-worker, etc. There’s also a few points that get his attention easily which can lead to some drama, excitement, etc for the story.

Rumples and I was talking and together we figured a way to nudge Charles into the Resistance group, using Rico. I made several ways for Charles to be attacked or connected to ICly and get excited when someone besides me uses them, which I got about three people already making full use of them creating a small sub-plot to motivate our PCs.

I also enjoy exploring twists and different views on things that can be cliche sometimes, writing them in a different way that is fun to read and write. Talking about these ideas, all of them, help with the motivation even if it’s just once in awhile (even for an hour or so) and I’m not the one to bring it up all the time. Namely because I feel like I’m nagging honestly when I do.

What are your thoughts about where we are/were in the plot right now (The gatherings/meetings)?

Personally, I think it’s too soon for this. We’ve not really had an IC day to get into the skins of our PCs or seen the effect of Prae control has over the city, including how it might affect our PCs directly. Mostly we have what is stated in the OP, OC and what the GMs informed us about which I found a bit hard to make Charles care about without a push from another source. Unless someone actually made a PC designed to join the Resistance Group, which feels like that type of thing defeats the idea of a sandbox rp to me, then it’s hard to make a PC care about joining such a dangerous cause.

However, I can still work with it as it is. With what Rico did with Charles, he’ll be actually take the ‘leadership’ role for the Resistance and help organize them then direct over what needs to be done. Rather than him simply caring only about his day to day life and leave the fighting to others.

What would you like to avoid in terms of interactions in the immediate future?

I’m pretty open to interactions, honestly as I got Charles involved in the current plot and he’ll stick through it due to Rico’s threat. There’s only a few things that will deter him from actually continuing and that’s primarily threats to his students and teaching potential.

Things that, so far, have caught your interest.

The currently small plot I have going with Rumples, Luna and Angel. Granted it’s not fully in swing yet, but I think it will be a fun read and experience when we get going. I’m curious about Dranai’s fate a bit. I’m also hoping Charles will play an interesting role in furthering the plot, namely as he will take a leadership role which is a role he’s actually never done in his life and avoided like the plague.

Your thoughts on the scope and direction of things. (The Resistance and what is causing it)? Is it too big? Is it not involved enough, or do you feel it is not justified at current time)

I feel it’s a bit random, especially with the IC stating clearly the Prae occupation has been in effect for ½ to a full year at least. I find it hard to explain why no one started something before this and it makes me wonder why our PCs would have a dedicated reason to actually start and stick with it. As far as the IC shows, there’s no indication of the Prae directly affecting any of them save what’s said in the OP, OC, and the GMs have told us about the racial issues toward Licentia (which affect a total of 3 PCs) and the disappearances.

Charles might investigate the disappearance of his fellow teacher but that would be on his own time and effort as well as when he finds out. Beyond the mention, or NPC reactions, there’s not been much focus on it which I feel there should be. I’m not even fully sure why we’re breaking a random woman out of jail as our first mission which I assume will be explained ICly.

What would you like to have addressed? (Mentioning it does not mean it will be addressed immediately, just fyi. This is for my notes, if you will *wink*)

Part of me actually thinks the disappearances, ones that have been mentioned, would do some good to be addressed as a starting point for the Resistance’s activities. Namely as NPCs, or reports, could come to them through various means and result in them investigating a few cases at a time. Each time PCs could utilizing their abilities, skills and more in not just combative setting but actually in different aspects of the missions even if it’s just grunt work. With each ‘case’ and lead they work, they could be pulled deeper and deeper into the Prae’s attention.

I would like for the player’s choices to create aftermath for not just them individually, but the city and others as well. Namely because at this stage there feels to be less of a connection between what our PCs are doing and how it affects the city.

Prae, even if it’s just a select few, becoming a more active enemy against our PCs. It feels, currently, like they are actually playing a waiting game with occupation of the city rather than actually providing anything our PCs could conflict with. Currently, not many of our PCs actually ever encounter Prae in their daily lives and makes it hard to have a reason to fight against an enemy that doesn’t do much to cause a reason to want to fight them.

When you joined this RP, what did you see yourself/your characters doing?

Well, I wanted to do several things.

Writing in a new setting, both weaving the story and help flesh out a world by adding some of my ability of twisting things into something interesting to write out. The example is Charles being a immortal. Many are moody, isolated and don’t need to socialize with people but honestly that image always bothered me because no matter how long you live, you’re still human by nature. You have needs, and such, even if you no longer have the fear of death to look forward to.

I actually gave Charles weak points I would like to see taken advantage of in order to create conflict for his PC. From his students to Lilith, even having Prae actually start to influence how he teaches. I think would mainly show the Prae’s authority in at least in a few subtle ways. However, I didn’t just want to write this alone as I don’t fully like to and don’t know how well to proceed really with how the Prae might operate.

Also, after Charles has gotten attached to his friends, I hope to start to explore his history bit by bit and how it can usually come back to bite him in the ass later on. This primarily includes his life as Mordred though the details haven’t been fleshed out. Partly, I like the idea of him being used as a part of some bigger plot and putting his allies in danger, bring tension and question over his ability to lead one day. Namely the conflict is interesting to me and a story I have never actually played out fully in a rp.

Miscellaneous. Feel free to suggest stuff to add to this list for others. If you do so, make sure to answer the question(s) you add.

Suggestions or ideas to add to the current plotline or maybe future ones?

I actually had a thought over the current scene. Now, I don’t know what the GMs actually have plotted but a thought occurred to me, namely that the woman in jail could have important information and actually lead into investigating the disappearances. Hence one option why we're breaking her out in the first place. In addition, what about allowing players to come up with mission ideas they can ‘run’ on their own? They could have a quick summary, then present it to the GMs for a fast overview. This could be use for Resistance missions or other situations with the GMs merely overseeing lightly the progression.

What issues or difficulties are you having with the rp currently?

Currently, nothing that comes to mind as most my issues have been addressed after Rumples was approved and any questions from the GMs were answered. Now I'm just needing to find time to write it up and post it without literally feeling like I’m double posting, lol.

Unrelated to the questions, but still relevant. I have created an official lore thread for additional lore since I do not wish to overcrowd the Opening Post and the Secondary Storage Post, which acts something like a FAQ. The link has been added to the Opening Post. There is already one new lore entry in the new lore thread. It is a licentia sub-species. Enjoy~

What are your thoughts about where we are/were in the plot right now (The gatherings/meetings)?

N/A

What would you like to avoid in terms of interactions in the immediate future?

I preferred to wait until Azulia meets Charles and start to learn how to fight before she gets into fights.

Things that, so far, have caught your interest.

Your thoughts on the scope and direction of things. (The Resistance and what is causing it)? Is it too big? Is it not involved enough, or do you feel it is not justified at current time)

N/A

What would you like to have addressed?

Sometime in the near future I would like Azulia to be exposed to Prae. I want to see more and be involved with the Prae directly with Azulia and how they could influence and change her life . I want her to explore more of the side of Azulia she never had the chance to growing up, but make it a downside that she has to chose between Charles and her.

When you joined this RP, what did you see yourself/your characters doing?

I want Azulia to save Charles from anything that troubles him because she doesn’t want to lose anymore family. She sees him as a father that she never had growing up which is something I want to explore. I want her to learn more about herself without having to chose one thing over another. I want her to live the way she wants to.

<Snipped quote>What intrigues you. What sort of things make you personally feel invested, engaged, and gives you the urge, the passion, to post? Points if you give examples.[/quote]
Answer: Sherlock Holmes, Assassination plots, and others along of the effects of horror, suspense, action, and other such genres help inspire me.

<Snipped quote>What are your thoughts about where we are/were in the plot right now (The gatherings/meetings)?[/quote]
Answer: not in the rp yet

<Snipped quote>What would you like to avoid in terms of interactions in the immediate future?[/quote]
Answer: As for right now anything that would instantly kill my character. As I start of slowly play him and add more spell to the character sheet than that will change. I would like to interact with all the species later on as well.

<Snipped quote>Things that, so far, have caught your interest.[/quote]
Answer: Charles’ storyline has got my interest. Mainly because of of how his live was and what is going to become. This is one of the reasons I made Killian be his student and in the run. They would have something in common and maybe could help each other in the long run. And possibly save themselves from changing into what they don't want to be.

<Snipped quote>Your thoughts on the scope and direction of things. (The Resistance and what is causing it)? Is it too big? Is it not involved enough, or do you feel it is not justified at current time)[/quote]
Answer: Not really read it in details because I like surprises. In my mind it's more fun to found out IC than already had read the previous posts. As well as this helps me think how my character would react upon finding it out.

<Snipped quote>What would you like to have addressed? (Mentioning it does not mean it will be addressed immediately, just fyi. This is for my notes, if you will *wink*)[/quote]
Answer: Later on I would like Killian's and Charles’ past revealed and possibly cause a rift in their friendship. Mainly because to help the man slowly drift towards the Resistance but the guy will still stay loyal to his teacher. One of the reasons is because he had shown through actions he's trustworthy.

<Snipped quote>When you joined this RP, what did you see yourself/your characters doing?[/quote]
Answer: I see myself saving Charles’ butt. As well as exploring Killian's past more. For example on how they met and how the man helped the teenager vanish from sight completely. I would also like to have my character explore the different races later on in the rp . Mainly because I'm curious and some maybe able to twist into what I hope to later add.

<Snipped quote>Miscellaneous. Feel free to suggest stuff to add to this list for others. If you do so, make sure to answer the question(s) you add.[/quote]
Answer: I would like to do a side story for Killian. Even if it's his gang is apart of the resistance or they find him on a whim. This will hopefully explain his past and why he keeps it hidden from others.

@Luna@Demonic Angel

Your characters are henceforth accepted. Thank you both for your feedback. I'll be taking stock of all responses once I have as many as I'm gonna get (so, Mikael, maybe Ganryu and Celaira. Perhaps a few others if they have the time, then I'll reply and whatnot). In the meantime, you two can put your characters in the char bin ^_^
