Oh certainly, those are all things that has to be accounted for and I would see why you would GM the way that you do, especially if you have a route in mind already. It just boils down to defeat different styles. My group generally has everyone pitching in, so the only thing that really separates the GM from the rest of us is knowledge of the world we're in.

I think it would help to herd this diverse cast together If one of them had an amiable disposition and ability to lead. In that regard, Faruq looks to be the best candidate - but there's still the matter of figuring out how we can motivate the Orc, Reachmen, and Vigilent to tag along.

Speaking of, there actually was something regarding Finch that might help to progress had s development without intruding upon the main plot - and either of your characters would work perfectly for it. Some words of advice, something that would help get Finch's head out of the clouds and come to terms with what he would eventually have to accept. I'll send out a PM on my first break, about two and a half hours from now.

Some of the best posts I've had were collabs. They're good if you have a lot of people in one area and if there'll be a lot of talking. The waiting to see the next persons post had its own appeal, even though there's less going back if you're not liking how the scene is progressing.

@Leidenschaft, yeah I get that. I thought having a strict plot for them to follow might not make good literary sense if their character would otherwise go against that flow, which is what I had meant. I usually have loose, malleable ideas in mind so it allowed leeway, and this is just a different way of doing things - was just sharing concern.

Woah, I wasn't challenging your ability or experience my man. Just trying to figure out where we'll be going. We're writing collaboratively, right? It's just my input, I'm discussing the rp. That is all. :P

A set plot doesn't seem like it would be reliable in this setting though. You can count on crooks to be dishonest. Maybe if someone had called upon a band of heroes, or if we were all wrongfully imprisoned, something could come along that'd bind us together. Here we have many people with different ideas and goals and history. Not all of them has something in common, so I'm wondering how they're all gonna get together and accomplish something with one another.

On another note, I got a computer on hand. Future posts will be tidier. Woo! I will make one tomorrow.

Will we be railroaded on this plot line of breaking free this noble, or are we free to make our decisions?

Knights of Melarus

I'm not trying to start an argument either, I was just bringing up some notes that might make writing a little awkward later. There's technically nothing wrong with your character, so you don't have to worry about that. This is just a heads up.

Knights of Melarus

Is it? I didn't think so, in fact I checked through to make sure they weren't. I'll work on it to change it up if you'd like, but it'll take some time. The only similarity I saw was that they were both not too friendly with the nobility. Kane's an intellectual, Royce is a warrior. Kane's a blonde haired pretty boy, Royce is a boisterous mountain of a dude.

I guess what I'm asking is, what do you want me to change? I don't see very many similarities so I can't really fix a problem I'm blind to.

@NickTrano

You forgot to say "bitch."

I mean, make no mistake, Kane takes care of his appearance, but that is because he is part of a noble order and it is practically required of him. There's nothing stopping him from getting down and dirty, and he went through all the same training, so their builds won't be very different, and their skill would be close.

In fact, you even mentioned him as a great strategist and an intellectual fighter, so I'm wondering why you're drawing that line now. Both are considered heroes of the downtrodden, are natural leaders. Sure, all of these qualities befit Knights, it just doesn't contrast with the current roster. I'm not gonna stop you from continuing the sheet, if we have two very similar characters, then so be it. I just warn that IC writing might feel crowded.

The Elder Scrolls: Rage of the Waves

Understood, I'll figure something out. Probably leave a blank space in his skills.

The Elder Scrolls: Rage of the Waves

It was actually mentioned in Finchs comments on our Mage. He was near the end of his early education and was set on a path to the college, and of the branches, illusion stood out to him more. With the college just around the corner, it wouldn't be far fetched for a student to start looking into their intended field.

If that wasn't mentioned in the sheet, I am sorry. Working on a phone, you make shortcuts and forget things.

Knights of Melarus

Humanity, fuck yeah. I'll either be making a scheming nobleman or a Knight of the Ram. Magic is for nerds. This looks like it's going to be great.

@NickTrano

You don't have to, but consider reading the history of my character's sheet - it's something of a hidden lore for Ram Knights.
