We have a nice amount of interest, I think. Still haven't heard back from [@IceHeart] or [@Herald] yet, but I know [@Galgarion] and [@Card Captor] are working on sheets right now. So far all the applications posted here look like they're people who are going to join Li's clan, but if you'd like your character to be a knight or a soldier in the army or a member of a different clan or a lone wolf mercenary type or just like a townsperson in Cyril, that's all well and good, and I'm capable of accommodating your choices outside of the central clan. That being said there's nothing wrong with being in the clan, and if everyone ends up wanting to be in the clan then we'll probably split up for missions so I don't have like potentially seven or eight people in the posting order for a particular questline or event, y'know? We would mix up the two teams depending on the mission and between missions or quests you'd all obviously be able to interact with each other, but it's something to consider. Progress on the OOC is nearing completion, but I've been spending most of my time lately writing up ability lists for you guys so it's going a little slow. I have another question for you all, though. Let me know your input, but this isn't a time sensitive thing since we won't be starting the IC for a bit longer anyway so if you don't really care either way or your character is not starting in the clan then you don't gotta say shit if you don't want to. For those of you who are going to be members of Li's clan, would you prefer to have a first meet-up sort of thing in a tavern where all the characters introduce themselves and Li goes over his plans for the clan and the clan rules and all that before assigning the first missions, or would you prefer to just skip over the introductions, assume that all the clan members have been briefly acquainted with each other and know the clan rules, and open the roleplay as they set out on the first mission (or first missions, if the clan is big enough to split the teams)? I can see the merit in either option, personally, but because I'm all about making the people happy and we have the downtime right now, I might as well ask you guys what you'd prefer. So let me know! Okay cool.
