During the few years I've been away from roleplaying games (...sorry), I heard of this fun way to build some character bonds and help your roleplay partner out a bit, and I thought it looked awesome so let me know what you think!

The basic idea is to list a handful of rumors other characters would have heard or might have assumed about yours, some true and some false and maybe some are a bit of both.

(Admittedly, this is hard because they wouldn't have overheard much about each other.)

So here is what you would have heard about Elijah Mendez:

1. His parents are divorced
2. He dropped out of school
3. He has a boyfriend back home
4. He's from an inter-religious household
5. He struggles a lot with math

Tell me about Kile!

It's an interesting cheat for certain LRPs, but I think it would've been cool to learn about these through the story itself. Mostly because the things you've listed for Eli would be really awesome plot points to develop in the slice-of-life style as the two of them get to know each other/bond. I know I asked for certain specifics about Eli beforehand - like his magic affiliation - but that's more for overarching story direction than story line. But, since you've already posted them and I can't unsee it, here's a little bit about Kile for his role in this LRP. This kind of stuff isn't something Eli would hear about in passing, but we can say Kile's skill as a writing tutor was one of the key things that paired them together when the school's administration was looking through profiles. Hope this helps!

I've moved Kile's profile information over to the Characters tab where it belongs.
I'll also keep track of locations, other characters, and notable events there, too.
Please try to do the same for your characters, locations, events (as learned through the story unless otherwise necessary for plot) so that we can have quick reference.
It sounds like a lot more work, but it'll make it easier for us to write as we go along! (And it's as simple as a 'copy-paste' with quotes.) <3
