That's up to the individual player. You can discuss with others in the OOC if your characters know each other or not. [/quote]

Sort of get the feeling there'll be less inconsistencies if we were that out now, rather than as we go. 
But that's just me.

Don't really have any particular preferences in regards to whether people know Shakrais or not. Like Mary I suppose he stands out for being an oddball, but since he won't ride meteorites one could say he's eclipsed by Madness-Girl.

As for who Shakrais knows, I'm going to go with the default of him not knowing anyone. Actually think it might be funny if he were to act as if he'd never met someone, when they'd been pretty close to him. 
Shakrais: "Nice to meet you"
Person: "What do you mean, we shared a dorm together last year"
Shakrais: "Did we? My dearest apologies, I was born with this condition to forget dreary little drabs such as yourself"

If anyone thinks they could come up with a interesting relationship between the two though, I'm not averse to some back-scenes planning... in fact I'd love to have something to do >_<
