So @JDizzle383, any plans on when we're going to start the IC?

[JDizzle383]

Should be able to get it started at some point this weekend. Still working out the chinks in the chain-mail(heh, armor puns) as to how the group would meet eachother seeming as they span across 5 separate nations.

Any ideas in case yours are better than what I have so far?

[Jangel13]

Other then everyone having their own personal quests I don't know. My character is a thief so obviously if he heard about some great treasure he would go for it

[Onarax]

Reading over the characters I do feel that it would be easy to begin a slow bringing together of the characters. Rose for instance is off searching for the sword already, while Angelo may have heard rumor of a treasure. As such it'd be easier to connect those two with either Flavius or Mariam. Essentially Flavius could find one of them lost while looking for the sword, which they believe to be in Harocint, and offer his services. The other one could stop by Mariam's village to rest, thereby introducing the two of them. John and Jon are a little easier as the two of them live in Drevmort, Jon might for instance hear of some big game off in Harocint and head off to slay the beast while John tags along to help and cook it or something.

Essentially we'd all end up converging in Harocint near Mariam's village in the end, it would probably take a few posts in each group to reach there but it shouldn't take too long.

That's the idea I've had thus far at least, if someone has a better way for us to all meet I'm onboard.

[JustmeandI]

This is a great idea.

I was thinking that there might be the cook/guide who will be something like the glue and he might be our Shroeder, collecting the characters from the different continents, trying to unite the world and save it from the evil overlord...

But I think random meetings is better.

@JDizzle383 any luck coming up with the IC post?

[JDizzle383]

Unfortunately since I play only the villain, I can't seem to think up a good post that would tie in to something EVERYONE could react to. Any help through a PM would be appreciated.

[JDizzle383]

So for future posts, the barkeep that was spoken of lived in Harocrint and as such, there are murmurings of the cave, beast, and treasure being whispered all through the nations

[Cuccoruler]

Maybe we should start from the cave instead? Feel like it would help move things along quicker

[Jangel13]

I'll just show up at the cave after a short journey anyways

[JDizzle383]

Before anyone says "I want to go straight to the action!" I will make this clear. I want this RP to read like a book written by multiple people, so I am NOT going to try and "Move things along quicker" every time we have a spot we can use to actually flesh out character's personalities Outside of battle.

A good story doesn't start with "I slew the beast and claimed the weapon" and end with "Bad guy's dead"

In this case, It starts with "Heroes are introduced and given purpose" and ends with "Rebuild the Empire in the dead kings defeat". the end is of course not set in stone, but this isn't super smash bros. it's a story with multiple writers

[Jangel13]

I want to ask if I can have my journey already going not start on the action right off the bat I just want to know if I can be on my way

[JDizzle383]

Yes, you can be mid journey. I just don't want it to start with them already there.

[Jangel13]

@JDizzle383
I know its not much but its only a starter post ill do better as we keep moving

[Crimmy]

Are we still active?

[Jangel13]

I am

[Onarax]

Sorry, currently figuring out what to post.
