smilesja This is just for discussion, correct? I was thinking it would be nice to leave templars and mages mostly out of the foray. Just a thought for Kailyn, she likes to avoid them. But I'm flexible. Considering I have never done this, I guess I have to be.

I'm very new to rp-ing, even my own video game characters.

So I can feel free to ask noob questions? Is the story created as we go based off of the premise that we begin with Willis discussing the job to retrieve the missing item.

I'm hazy on the rules of being able to introduce a character in. I like the idea of her getting a tip and having a contact that could help them. I haven't written up a character. How are things like that handled. Do they need to be submitted in the character thread if they are just kind of random npc's?

How much needs to be vetted by the thread leader? Not that my first time around I won't harass you with all thoughts.

Depends on the thread leader. We've all been pretty flexible so far.

How are things like that handled. Do they need to be submitted in the character thread if they are just kind of random npc's? If your NPC is just there ot get you to the story, you can do anything you like. For instance in another site, my Crow character talked to an NPC Crow contact that had nothing to do with the actual story. I didnt ask first, and the NPC will stay in the background until needed again. That said, the thread starter was willing to bring the NPC in if needed. now, if the thread starter had introduced an NPC that my character came along and killed, then I'd have to change it because maybe the other poster had plans for that character.  The thread starter plays by the same rules by the way. They could tell you your plot point doesnt fit their idea of the story, but they can't tell you how to play your character or your NPC, as long as there is no conflict.

So here's the plan so far:
1. Willis is shopping in the merchant store, when he hears the Merchant is lamenting the fact that he has his family heirloom stolen.
2. Kailyn can either be in the shop with Willis or just enters (?) and overhears the conversation.
3. The Merchant says that the thief is likely headed to lothering where he can sell it off.
4. Willis can say he can retrieve it if he gets which the merchant is happy to do so.
5. Kailyn can interfere and say that she can help even claiming she has contact you plan on creating?
6. The two introduce themselves and head to Lothering where they'll be bickering a lot.
I do plan on have the heirloom more important than it seems. Like the thief is using it to gain access to hidden treasure.

No it sounds good. I thought her having a contact helped explain her being there and willing to work with Willis. Her current head state is a loner and distrustful. I thought she needed a feasible reason to be there. Though she does have a weird sense of humor. maybe she is trolling him. I can do a short write up of her contact. I was thinking dwarven, shady, but she has used him before. Her entrance would probably be stealth, test his awareness. Follow until the area is more secluded try to catch him off guard? (possibly) I'm still learning how to get in my characters head but that seems like a her move. She would want to see his skills. If you want her to just step in I can work with that as well. smilesja

Go ahead with the Dwarven contact. I think Kailyn entrance is very interesting go for it! To add to your idea, if she really wants to test his skills she can pay off some thugs to try to fight Willis, only for him to use his Spirit Warrior powers to fend them off. It'll be interesting to see her reaction! Also the Dwarf could be in Lothering, gives them extra motivation for the pair to go there but it's up to you of course! cmoe

Wait I think I was under the impression this was a job and willis was meeting a contact because he had been given the job already. I guess i can forget kailyn needed a reason to step in on the job. Or use the shady dwarf Durk later. I like the idea of the heirloom being more than it seems. Otherwise it's just two characters fighting with each other on the way to beat some people up to retrieve an item.

This is a job and I can go with the idea with Willis meeting a contact because he's been given the job. He's work with shady characters before, so the Dwarf could send him to the merchant's store for details.

At his point would I start working on writing out her introduction. Maybe let you look over a draft first for me? I welcome constructive criticism while I'm getting my feet wet.
