[quote=@Sadu] Not quite sure that's what he meant, though he can chime in if I'm wrong. Think he's just saying that if you ever get stuck with where to go next on a post, that you can bring it up here so we can collectively help out on a way forward. Not that we should discuss every single story beat publicly and not let anything be a secret or a surprise, but rather that if anyone is having trouble integrating their character and the plans they have for them into the overall main plot of the story (Which is currently to travel to different worlds, seal the keyholds to keep darkness from coming through and destroying said worlds, and ultimately find out who is responsible for unleashing darkness on the worlds, (Which I'm pretty sure we publicly OOC all know is Xehanort) Not to say some things can't be more public, but some things should stay a mystery even OOC until the time comes. I know it can be hard to play a character who hasn't really reached the point yet where they have truly become the character you imagine them to be. Morgan has gone through changes since we started, I've changed things about her (Like how I practically dipped all of her ice stuff in favor of her being a White Mage) and, ultimately, (This might be a spoiler for anyone who cares about that sort of thing with her), she's not even the character I intend to be playing come a ways down the line. I mean when the RP first started she was very standoffish, didn't really seem to like anyone, and just kinda thought everyone was an idiot. But I've pretty much rewritten how she works as a character because that just wasn't very fun to write with. But we still gotta figure out who they are in the now, and changes can be made to the characters if need be, we can retcon things if we want, just to make a character better and help them fit in and help them move forward, and become who you, the writer of that character, want them to be. Morgan is a long ways off from what she's going to be come the end of KH1. But still gotta write her in the now, and work on getting her to that point through the experiences she has between now and then. Initially Morgan was a Black Mage capable of Ice and Fire magic, just not very in control of it. Now I have effectively gotten rid of her ability to use Black Mage spells, and she's just a White Mage. I did that because I didn't feel like being an Ice Witch really fit her character at all, given that she's a Princess who was trained by Merlin Himself. I had my reasons for it originally, but now I have pushed those ideas onto a different character who will serve an altogether different role. The point of all this is to say... we can make changes. Don't feel locked into what you have gone with so far. I mean, we may be quite a few months into this RP, but let's face it we're still in the Tutorial. So now's as good a time as any to rewrite characters if we need to. [/quote] I meant essentially both. If you want your plans for your character to be a secret they can be, but if they affect any of the other characters in anyway that needs to be discussed with the players whose characters it'll affect. But other than that, yeah. Openly discussing plans for your character and where you want to take your character is beneficial for everyone. People won't step on your toes and you'll be able to make it work out the way you intended it or better with help.
