@Anza Looks good, an animal focused journey is likely to be touching. I'd only make a quick mention of the region she is starting from, otherwise Tala is approved!

@Cu Chulainn Also approved! I like the contrast between Derrick and Cassius, our other monster slayer.

@ERode I've got no problems with Nea leaving when she reaches her destination, especially given the trek from the Croplands to the Highlands will be a long one and give you plenty of time to work through her emotions and bond with others. I'd say she is also approved!

@SilverPaw's character has also been approved via PM.

@Dezuel Thank you! Would you be okay on a waiting list?

Now that characters are coming in, I'm going to talk a little bit about my plan as a GM. In the beginning of our RP, I'll work together with everyone to get their characters on the road and heading towards their destination, and towards other characters whose paths may align. My biggest priority is seeing character stories through and connecting them together, and getting characters in a group to make friends and allies... eventually. I'm sure there will be some personality clashes at first. It may be that we have groups of smaller members rather than one giant group, which is fine with me if it's fine with all of you. Of course, smaller groups will likely see characters come and go as well.

That said, the discord is now operational. Participation in it is not required until we officially start, in which case it is mandatory as mentioned before - the use of channels and being able to restrict viewing makes it the easiest place to talk about characters' story progression.

@Aviaire's character has been approved via PM.

@Dezuel Sorry about that! It's been a little while since I've run a large game, so I didn't want to have a cast too big for me to handle. If all goes well I am opening to adding more, so for now there is a waiting list. I'll add you to it, thanks for your understanding.

@stone Looks good.

@Psyker Landshark Accepted after we chatted in PMs!

@Dezuel I don't see a problem with that, but just be aware that at the moment we have a full list and there are others on the waiting list as well. I'll check in with some of the others from the int check later today and see how things are coming along and if they are still interested.

I have a BIG day coming up at work so I've been focusing a lot of my time on that. If there's still room for me in a couple of days, I'll be happy to sit down and finally work on a character. :D

@Cosmic Eclipse Of course!

@Cosmic Eclipse Hey, how'd your work project go? Still interested? As always no pressure~

Depending on Eclipse's answer, although it may be a little unfair to our awesome wait-listers, we may get rolling with the nine we have. Character story planning is going well, I'm so happy to see everyone's input and enthusiasm. I'll be working on linking certain stories together in a way I hope is both satisfying and makes sense. If you have any ideas about how stories (other than your own character's) can be linked together, feel free to message me privately - but don't feel obligated, this is part of my job as GM!

My plan for the beginning of the RP was to start everyone off solo, but quickly link up pairs and groups - if anyone objects or the majority would like to begin already in a group, just let me know. In addition, I'm happy to write a collab with anyone who wants to do that, and at any time so just let me know.

As always, I'm usually busy on weekends so if all goes well, we can look forward to officially starting early next week! Feel free to approach me with comments or concerns. Thanks for your patience everyone!

If anyone didn't catch it in the discord, I was without power for over 50 hours this week due to a tropical storm. It's pushed back our start date. I'm really sorry about that! I had planned to start this week but can't do much about a force of nature.

We'll be running with the nine characters currently in the character tab. I have already begun writing the opening post for the IC, but there's still time to get your piece in - if you've got strong feelings about a character's story and want them known, post it in their character channel!

Again, thank you so much for your patience everyone.

Okay! Took a bit but we're back on track! The opening IC post is up!

Feel free to ask questions or leave comments here or in the discord. You'll notice that a few characters are solo right now - but don't worry, we'll get them into position to join a group as soon as possible. Time in the RP is kind of nebulous, so don't sweat keeping up or anything like that. The characters that are currently solo also have a bit more freedom when it comes to which group they can join in with at the moment, so if there's a preference just let me know... otherwise, right now it's split up by general area.

Going forward, I mentioned that in the OOC that there is no post deadline for this RP. This remains true. I'll check in with people now and then if they've gone quiet for a while but otherwise my hope is for a story that people can keep coming back to and don't have to feel pressured by deadlines. Of course, I do ask to be considerate of the other players in the RP. Try not to keep your friends waiting too long, and also don't badger your friends to keep posting. Respect on all sides!

GM updates will be as needed to move each character and group along. It won't always be a ginormous post like the opener, it could just be for 1-2 characters if those are the only ones that need moving along. If you want to write some natural sounding dialogue with NPCs, just let me know and I would be very happy to write collabs with any of you.

I sound like a broken record by now but thank you for waiting!
