[quote=@ayzrules] I've been assuming that there is some kind of public knowledge about everyone, yeah! or you could treat it as a "first impressions" kind of thing-i.e. what would they think upon a first meeting or whatever [/quote] I've been going on the assumption that most people would have heard of or even met Genevieve's gregarious brother, Philip, while not as many (if any) would know Gen herself. If anyone wants to discuss the possibility that our characters [I]have[/I] met at some point, possibly even just through the internet, please hit me up! If anybody wants to be friends with Philip, they might have met Gen in passing on a rare trip home to Maris—or have heard him talk about her. [quote=@ayzrules] Hi sorry for being annoying but I am back What do you guys want to do as the starting event? Basic premise will be, of course, welcoming everyone to aciras and such. Before the event starts, you can assume that all chars got settled in their rooms and whatnot 1. Welcome ball (themes????) 2. Welcome dinner/banquet 3. Welcome ceremony 4. A mixture of all of the above Comment ur thoughts pls <3 ALSO, NPC info will be up before IC starts. If anyone is thinking of making non-royalty characters, HMU cuz I got a nosy Aciran gossip columnist NPC on the way ;) [/quote] I am super, [I]super[/I] weak for masquerades, if we're throwing theme possibilities around! (Also, if she gets to attend her first function wearing a mask, Gen will thank you.) I haven't made up any specific NPCs yet, but I imagine Gen's going to travel with at least a handmaid or bodyguard—one she's probably on friendly terms with, since Maris is tiny and what even are class barriers.
