I'm sorry too, Frozen. Good luck in your future RP endeavors though.

[BreakingMe]

Work is finally starting to slow down for me so I'm looking forward to this getting momentum :D

Edit: Also, if anyone is interested in their char having some sort of history/relationship with my char, let me know - I'd love to collaborate on something.

[icmasticc]

I am too! My stories tend to get going pretty quickly, so just excuse the slow beginning if you can and you'll see for yourself. I've already got some good action coming really soon and your decisions will just take over from there.

I'll also second that if anyone wants to collaborate with anyone, I highly encourage it. Our characters have a base knowledge of one another already because they've all been in the city together working on operations for a while. Anything more detailed can be worked out between the players and incorporated into the RP.

[corneredbliss]

I'm bustling around tonight and tomorrow because it's time to move back into dorms, and that stupid snow storm is gonna hit soon so there's also that to worry about. Anyway, I'll try and get even a teeny tiny something up tonight - fingers crossed.

And I'd love Vee to have an established relationship with Lex, @BreakingMe! I'm sure she hangs around her office to soak up knowledge for the job, so hopefully we can collab sometime in the future about that.

[Jig]

Boom. I'm all over collaborations like bronies on merchandise.

For people who'd like to work out mutual character relations and such, basic Mother Warhead knowledge. Since he's basically been in the Syndicate since birth, I'm guessing he'll basically know everybody. Ehehe. So, people who've known Mother Warhead long enough will at least know these things:

Super Secret Background Shit

• Runt of his generation of Ariellis
• All grow'd up and turned out pretty efficient in the end
• Not tipped for greatness; other Ariellis have flown off to bigger things
• gaaaaay ^presumably?
• super fiercely protective of his underlings/people he likes. Fiercely. Emphasis on the fierce. Fierce. Fierce, fierce - he's fierce.
• basically head of security; he's the guy you tell when you wanna keep shit safe and he organises other people doing it*
• he also apparently dicks about and helps out if anything else comes up because that gets me involved in the IC ehehehe

* though, if our PR representatives don't make it to the IC, I might ask ic if it's okay for me to switch to him being PR, so long as it's not yet established in IC that he's security (which it isn't :P).

[icmasticc]

Just one thing to correct @Jig; they are the Ariella Syndicate. True, it was started by a family with the last name "Ariella", but it has since grown into a much larger organization allowing almost anyone entry depending on a few things. They are also not Italian lol.

I have no problems with you switching to PR if that's what you want to do. There can be multiple managers of the same department and some characters can even double up in certain departments if they wish. In the end, you'll all be put in different situations through my upcoming posts and your chosen role won't really have anything to do with that haha. On the flip side, there will be some narrative that does involve your chosen roles as well.

[Jig]

they are the Ariella Syndicate

@icmasticc

*vomits in shame*

can even double up in certain departments if they wish

that's currently where I'm at, basically just to give MW a reason to be involved. I did want to avoid doubling-up on somebody else's 'thang' and three would probably be a bit much for PR. But, I dunno, if @CaughtInTheRiddle isn't gonna actually be involved (nothing to say she isn't, I dunno), I might well shift over.

[CaughtInTheRiddle]

I'm definitely posting tonight, I promise!

(Cross my heart!)

Have a cute photo of my Niece and Nephew!

[icmasticc]

Glad you're still with us Caught. Another cute picture... Lol. Looking forward to your post.

[CaughtInTheRiddle]

xD

Sorry for the delay!

But work has settled down now, and I've found a new place to move into and life is a little calmer. :)

[icmasticc]

Cool, I'm happy for you! Your character's presence will also be appreciated.

[Wade Wilson]

Cool, I'm happy for you! Your character's presence will also be appreciated.

@icmasticc

I'm same as @CaughtInTheRiddle, though my post will more than likely be coming tomorrow (GMT).

[icmasticc]

That's cool [@WadeWilson]. Looking forward to yours too.

[JulianRowe]

I haven't really engaged with everyone in conversation. I got really involved in my own setting when creating my first post, so I hope people don't mind all the dialogue and side characters...

My side characters are completely disposable btw. I really don't mind if someone else takes control of them or writes something new of them. I just posted pictures to associate with my side characters so others could create their own descriptions easy if necessary.

[icmasticc]

Good post, Julian, glad you're still with us as well. Since you're so gracious, I may even take some of those NPCs for future use. We'll see how it turns out. And I'm glad you clarified your use of pictures in the IC. I'd prefer written word descriptions so the IC doesn't become a picture book lol, but I understand your reasoning.

I'll be around today for questions or anything you need peeps, but today is a movie day for me for the most part ha. Last day of being snowed in.

[Jig]

Apparently Alexander likes texting. Let me know if it gets a bit too much. :P

in other news: yeah, Anna Morello is another help-yourself NPC. I guess she's, what, the Syndicate's supervisor for the Crest or head bouncer or whatever. Nice and amorphous for you. :)

[icmasticc]

The texting is fine Jig and cool, I'll probably use Anna at some point as well. I feel like Quinn and Alexander are going to have interesting banter though haha.

[BreakingMe]

Any NPC's I mention are entirely usable by everyone.

Edit: should we establish some kind of ranking system/hierarchy? Is Quinn in charge and everyone just falls under that? Do we all answer to someone or just do our own thing?

@BreakingMe

There is no hierarchy, no. They were all under the same orders to maintain Regalia. They are collectively under an NPC character I have yet to introduce. Right now, the directive is getting info, but the stories you create within those guidelines can and will be used in the main narrative.

[Jig]

@icmasticc

Are we assuming they know each other reasonably well? I guess Alexander will kinda know anybody who's really anybody because he's been there his whole life.
