First off, good to know you're expecting us to bring on antagonists/NPCs.

Secondly, thanks to my tendencies to be incapable of doing anything without going all the way, I've already considered a rather in-depth antagonistic force that could come into play if I go with the younger one (I'll also point out I didn't plan on them being stupidly young, although I could potentially work with a kid as well, but rather just not the 80+ year old that clicks into your head when you think "Wizard"). I'd probably need to think on it a bit more to make the more elderly one as interesting, though I could, in theory, go down a similar route minus the whole "was underestimated because of his age" trope.

I agree that [@FickleSickle] brought something cool to the table, especially since it's sort of a trope for a party to have a token "evil" team member, even if his character definitely sounds more like an "Anti-Hero" instead of a straight up villain.

Anyway, I think the fact that we're all basically the GM to some extent is a really interesting idea, since it makes this a much more collaboration-based RP topic, and, honestly, since I tend to only ever take part in an RP when I'm the GM (really, I'm a leader at heart, never a follower), the way you have this organized is one of the reasons I was actually willing to jump into it in the first place.
