[OOC] Plague of the North

[rivaan]

so I know you said you want 8 people, but can you give us a time limit for the wait for them to gether? I mean it may take some time and as much as I like the idea for a full party if we wait too long...

[Partisan]

@Fat Boy Kyle on second thought, the Husky will probably die if it's up to you.

I'm still taking him, just saying that if you kill him, I will put my internet detective skills to use and hunt you down.

Although I'm expecting a couple more CS sheets, the main reason we're yet to start is because I'm still planning stuff. Adding to the wiki everyday to try flesh out the world, and I still need to do my other CS. Once I've done this and ironed out some fine plot details I'll get to work on an opening post. The RP probably won't start for at least another week though, because I still have RL to deal with :P

[Partisan]

We can take that extra week to think of additional subplots, relationships between characters, maybe even a shared history? Given that for example we have a Church of Light lady who went to the North to spread the faith.. it is unlikely but not impossible that Gawain and her have met at one point. Right? :P

[rivaan]

And that you evil sir, was enough for me as it answered my question.*gives a thumb up* And hey by that time I may actually draw my character.

@Partisan

It's possible. But I'm not sure what the extent of their relationship would be had they met prior. Sarah is a bit of a radical and very uncompromising. Gawain worships gods from both religions. This is something Sarah would find hypocritical and would openly condemn if her opinion was asked. Maybe even if it wasn't. Of course, this would have been prior to her widowhood. She's going to be rather shaken in her faith at least initially in this RP.

[Partisan]

Ah .. yes, it seems that it might be better to have never met before.

[rivaan]

And Karen worships a goddess from a far away land, a goddess of night and sinners to be specific :3 Lot's of possibilities to interract. Like hey Sarah could try to convert Karen to the church of light.

@rivaan

There may be some attempts at conversion. But again, she's going to be a bit bitter at the start and likely will be trying to hold onto her own faith rather than convert others. Then again... It could be a form of projection for her to attempt converting others when its really herself who needs to be convinced.

[rivaan]

Yep! hehehe

@Denalz

She sounds... depressed. More so than I anticipated from her CS..

[Uffizi]

At my PC. Will work on my CS with haste.

[rivaan]

yay!~

@Partisan

I was thinking that. Who could my character know besides Chester and Lady Buxton? Perhaps he came across Orwen once before? Makes sense since he was a traveller for a long time, innit

[Partisan]

Aye, it'd be good if I had atleast 1 contact. I have a hard time imagining how they met, though, and what their relationship would be like.

[Torack]

Well Roven did travel a lot, like he went to at least most of the cities, and must have heard of Orwen? I'm guessing they met while he was still able to talk and had that regal attitude still in him and all that. The change could be a little funny to see, eh?

[Partisan]

Aye, I take it most of the characters must at least know of ''the master'' as he is called by most, or thé Southerner (as in THE THE THE Southerner! Not just any!) who seems to pull strings in everything that is illegal and shrouded in secrets.

Also slaves. :p

[rivaan]

lol Karen will know of him... probably not gona like him a lot. Especially since illegal slavers most likely also deal in children :3

@Partisan

Well, she did just loose her husband a few days ago. Hmmm, maybe I should update my CS to reflect this a bit more. The other side of this is her guilt. After all, she was kinda pleased to hear about this plague because she thought she could be the hero and further the COL's cause through it. Instead she lost her childhood sweetheart. I can imagine she would be experiencing a mixture of guilt, anger, and depression.

Am I being too dark and serious with this?

Also, I agree. A man like "The Master" is someone with a strong reputation who is probably known to some extent by most. Even if its just his name and people know him to be THE KingPin or Mafia Head (metaphorically speaking)

@Denalz

Nah not too dark. Roven is somewhat similar in the sense that when he saw his get eaten alive in front of him, he lost almost all sense of emotions save for glowering at people (except for when it comes to his daughter). Not to mention the scene is still fresh in his mind so he'll probably have a hard time trying to keep himself from going complete apeshit crazy whenever he sees a plague victim. I've also got some pretty dark things planned for him, dude's gonna spiral down a dangerous slope! I'll have so much fun writing it!
