Alright we have officially begun! Sorry for the very long wait after all. Couple of things I want to add before you get to posting;

1. You can skip the prelude if you would like, it's just a little establishment of background plot threads. The important part is the post First Night, and is most immediately relevant to you.

2. This does reveal NPCs history to you. Your characters should have differing kinds of relationships with each NPC depending on how long they've been with the particular Shokuden, but you can kinda just lob anything at me as long as it's within reason. I can always roll with it, you can pretty much do anything up to being an old friend of either of the NPCs as long as it makes sense.

3. You can still continue to submit characters at any point. If they come in after many posts IC we just have them come in wherever it is in the current time.

Now, just a couple things for general posting stuff which I didn't have time to mention up until now. These are more like "it'd be great if you could do them" rather than anything set in stone, and also some details which I can't find a better way to advise on at this current time.

-In your first posts, we're treating it as introductory but it'd be great if you could end the post or slip somewhere in there a [b]statement of intention[/b]. Just like, organically, what would your character like to do tonight? Who would they like to be teamed up with if they're going on a mission? This'll just make it easier for me to pick pairs/assign cool missions to specific pairs/groups.

-Detail time; so Specialists can do missions at Rank 3 and beyond. Up till then, they do have to do the program aspect which'll be run by Gotou within the Shokuden while everyone else is running a mission. I think I'll only be doing it if we actually have more than one specialist participating though...

that's about it at any rate, hope to see your posts soon!
