Hmmm thanks for the info on trade routes! So about a Ferelden monarchy...... Should I go for an NPC or an established character? I would encourage you to stay. We kinda need people at the moment. Just think about for a bit Phoray's in another time zone so she'll get on the wagon hours later from now. The others have stuff to juggle so updates is going to take time. So the paintbrush is between you and dragontatare and what you two are going to paint. No one else needs to jump in to the actual RP yet, but still...where do you all want to go with this story? Ideas are all over the place. First it was pirates, then a sea monster, now trade routes. This is just a tutorial thread, so why not something simple? Let's figure out what our characters want, and then we can craft a short story to give them those things. My elf ultimately needs training in magic, but her immediate needs are safety and survival, which unfortunately leaves things pretty open. What do all the other characters want? Coin? To be left alone? To have someone disappear?

No, we're not. EDIT: Saw the main thread. Let me know when you want me to post. Oh it's not for me to direct.  At the moment, smilesja's and dragontartare's chars are having a chance meeting so either of them have to throw the ball to you when it's time.

To be left alone? To have someone disappear? Well, long term it is reclaim his rightful place in Tevinter and kill his former master for what he did to him, and his brother if he gets in the way. Short term, need some money and some allies. It's why i'm a bit laissez-faire when it comes to what the plot is. I would basically make it work with my character as I go, if it's priates emboldened by a Tevinter Magister possessing a giant squid to mess with trade routes, there are a ton of directions I can take this for me. I am more or less going with the flow of the plot for now until it gets zeroed in on.

One wants to find a job and is a mage. The other wants to find security and mage training. What is their next reasonable / logical step they would take? Is there a place that would accept them nearby? Is there someone whom they have yet to meet that can help them?

I'm trying to help bring everyone else in.

Looks like we're set to head into town, then, where we can run into some of the other characters. That was probably my last post for tonight, but I will try to check in on lunch break tomorrow.

Ok after a night of sleeping on it. I've decided to make it about just taking care of some pirates who've been causing trouble. No politics, no giant squid just a simple job of taking care of pirates

I'm fine with that plot, but I think I'm misunderstanding how RP works. Doesn't everyone who signs up for a thread get to decide what the story is? Or is the thread starter the only one who decides?

The OP is the main driver of the story, usually. Suggestions are usually welcome. That doesnt mean you don't get to RP your character in your own way however. The OP doesn't get to tell you what your character should do in any given situation they've set up.

However, I've to say I felt restricted in the other RP I participated a few years ago. I felt my freedom to "move" the char around was sharply curtailed. I wasn't happy and felt there was too much control exerted. What happened : the story had progressed to the party resting at an inn. I wrote that my char made small talk and moved to lean against the wall, looking out of the window as the rest of the chars settled themselves on pallets. I was corrected and told I could not move the char that way because the story keeper did not specify there're windows. Just as well the RP fell apart when the story keeper didn't update after that. I didn't want to continue.
