[@shylarah] I wasn't being very clear. In that particular instance when I said motivations, I was specifically talking about motivations for the GM's agendas. My character is kind of a brat, but they will do things to help out the lower class. The GM didn't initially know that and tried to get my thief to party up with some other thieves so that they could rob some commoners blind. That wasn't ever going to work. The scene still ended up working because the thieves decided to rob some pompous nobles instead.

We don't typically discuss everything in OOC because we like to surprise each other with reveals, but we do discuss how we'd like a collab to go. So far it works pretty well.

And ditto on the keeping super secret stuff hidden. It's more fun for everyone that way, as long as you keep it consistant and don't use it to power play. Nuttsnbolts let me enter an RP with a super secret character. <3
