if you get the chance to use them in the side story, I will have to add them properly to the list. I'm honestly thinking I'm being a bit too generous with the ones I'm adding now although there's the implication from Mimsy that the leader will show up again due to the nature of his character. Once they're up in the side story, remind me again and I shall add them.

Dat shading nearly killed me Correct light sources: the true evil of the Floating Castle.

I don't know what's the requeriments to add characters, so I'd only care them to be added in case someone else wants to use them, and already having the sheets may induce someone to use them, so, your catch. I don't mind eaither way

See, that's the problem, I'm not sure what my criteria are either, I need to figure that out more exactly. But a completed story with them in is probably at least on requirement.

It's mostly a case by case judgement.
Someone who plays a major role and is likely to show up again gets in. Someone who told you to turn left on the oak trees, never to be seen again shouldn't be there.

The four fit, in background, as being in the Lorekeeper Faction, however, whether or not they'll get any further screen time is still unknown.

So far they really didn't do anything big enough to warrant a NPC Sheet, they were just Morionem's justification to know about the library, instead of influencing the quest outcome in any manner.

You can probably add the current time NPCs from Mimsy's sidestory, if you want, since they are his guild power structure and will probably be showing up from time to time throughout the story. Zess needs his updated, and Old Aldric, Shirou, and Scarlet finish up his named guild members for the time being.

I don't think I'll be able to send Mimsy the next part today, but if a miracle happens... Though my day was less like what I had planned, but more like what I expected it isn't going that bad. But now my computer is screwing with me by taking more than 15 minutes to print the last page of a thing after taking less than 10 on printing the rest. Among other stuff... I guess...

...I'm just guessing that soon there will need to be a new thread to keep track of all the factions.

Would probably be a good idea. If so might I suggest the format be something like

Name:
Mission Statement:
Known Allies:
Guild Leader:
Guild Members:

There also might be value in a "Created By:" in the same vein as the NPCs.

Fair point, I forgot that some people who created the guild aren't the leaders of it.

Alrighty! Seire vs. Morionem is finally up, so we're finally not keeping the GMs waiting anymore. Sorry about that, guys. It won't happen again.

It was my fault, not Mimsy's, so blame me.

Also, it's a miracle! A miracle of Dude Day! *brofists Mimsy*

Aaaand now I'm giggling about diaphragms. Thanks ever so for that, guys

In other news, Hector just gave Tamar (and Anji, whether she expected it or not) a lesson in how not to suck at swordsmanship. It went better than expected.

So I think I might want to do a sidestory where I teach some people the basics of how to screw with an enemies pressure points. Who wants in?

But.. But.. What about me? Seriously, I wanted to be a part on it. Though I still haven't read it.

Maybe I would like it. It could work well for me, but I think Morionem would hate your char.

Why do people assume they will hate Salvantas. He is a nice guy who likes helping people. Jebus

I actually think Salvantas is awesome. I do disagree with him, but... Anji'll show. I'll see who else in Storm and Drive wants to come.

Not entirely true, I dislike Salvantas somewhat ( though I love that Batmanesque or split personality type) because I know stuff my character doesn't. He seems to have decided to let Blank get away with all kinds of stuff because 'the end justifies the means'.

As a character though he's really fascinating and interesting and would be fun to write with . He has noble ideals, if screwed up methods, and is determined to change things in the world, but deep down he seems to be the same scared little boy. That's easy to empathise with, and also a great point of potential character development .

Tamar wouldn't know all this however, he'd like Salvantas on sight, and if he did learn about Blank... well.

Lordxana0 wrote:Why do people assume they will hate Salvantas. He is a nice guy who likes helping people. Jebus

Because he tries too hard to act that way despite apparently not quite actually knowing how. Also, ideology.

Lordxana0 wrote:Why do people assume they will hate Salvantas. He is a nice guy who likes helping people. Jebus

Darren doesn't exactly believe in idealism and a world without evil. If he needs to do something, he'll do it as long as it doesn't damage those he cares about.

That said, I don't think he would be at odds with him

I was just lamenting the fact that most people jump straight away to say that their characters will "hate" Salvantas. When I feel as if they are trying to say they would hate Salvantas if they knew anything beyond what the surface layer was.

Yeah, after questing with Sylvantas, Jenny is of two minds about him (which is rather appropriate). I think if she did show up to the clinic,she would probably leave if he started tossing knives around. Too many fresh memories. She certainly doesn't hate him, though.

*cough* What's this about fear of knives?
