Awesome, it looks like you've got a great handle on the way things can balance out in terms of basic stats with attack and defense with the varying races and classes. If you wanted to edit a post here and make a formal grid or collection of the info, that would be pretty helpful. Or I can do it if you'd like me to. I do agree that them venting online about their offline issues would be a good place to start. Though since we are putting them in a small town, I don't think they'll be "meeting" offline for the first time. I think I mentioned in a post or two above that they could have known each other for a couple years, of course if one moved into town during high school then their jarring interactions could be minimized until;university.

We just need to be on the same page as far as their interactions in the past.

I think depending where the sole conflict lies, we could have things 35-65 in terms of online-offline interactions. I do think them retreating offline to handle their issues would make sense, but the big issue would be why they don't see eye to eye in the first place and what made them grind one another's gears.

I think (if I recall properly) that yours would be sort of the quiet/loner sort and mine would be more optimistic and bubbly, so aside from that, there could be some event in high school or middle school that created a large rift like some petty argument.
