Thief/Alchemist works very nicely. We may at some point be doing some work with explosives, and none of our characters have any more than a rudimentary knowledge about it - with the potential exception of Sam - so far. A saboteur/sneakthief character would fit well into the group, and could also feasibly have been imprisoned in the Dominion due to their reputation.

Additionally, the story post, however brief, is now up.
In the morning...
At approximately 4AM...
There came a sharp, urgent knock, at each of your doors. Three knocks, to be precise, in rapid succession, almost like the firing of a gun.
"Wake up! Wake up, idiot! You need to go! Now!"
More knocking. Frantic, terrified knocking.
"They've arrested the General! You have to fucking go!"
There came a noise that sounded like frustration, a sort of mix between a groan and a whine.
"The Ascendó is in Dock B, Port 7! It's a few minutes walk from here, and practically deserted, you can't miss it!" They screamed at the door, before taking off running down the hallway, hoping dearly that you'd been awakened - which you had.
Come on. Time to leave, and sharpish.

Now that you mention it, I'm not sure any more combatants would be a good thing. Not a bad thing either, of course, because, well, The Heavens' Eyes, Pirates, Dominion Military Forces, Oakheart Fighters, Red League Army, etc may not necessarily not try to kill us over the course of this RP.
Feel free to give your character another skillset if you like, in return for lowered sword skills. He could be the thief, for example. Or an alchemist/chemist. Some cool shit like that. In fact, feel free to message me for advice too, amigo.

@CollectorOfMyst There we go. Thanks man, I'd legit forgotten that.
Looks like the next story post might get delayed again. Unless you guys have an especial hankering for it now?

@CollectorOfMyst Nice, nice... but what's that about messages from the Red League? I don't remember any messages. I mean, it's a good idea so we'll include it, but did I mention that?
By the way, folks, this is a universe that is primarily lighthearted, and there's a lot of beauty in the Eversky - but go ahead and be as terrible to your characters as you like. Hit us with the feels. Always makes for great writing, y'know?
@CollectorOfMyst@Deadnaut That is a superb idea. Go for it, amigo. Feel free to create a post at the end of the characters tab for us to refer to.
I might let the next story post wait until the morning, though. It's about midnight here, and I'm shattered. Goodnight all.

Attention all: Make any posts you want to make before we embark on the journey asap. When I get home and don't have to use mobile any more, I'll be typing up the next story post.
"No, no. It's not as simple as that. They're mercenaries, yes, but that's mostly a technicality. We chose them out of all our past contractors and current resources because they were the ones who had previously exhibited the right combination of skills and principles. I can't lie, we went for Volkov because she came with the other one, Ariah, more than anything else."
He sighed, draining the rest of his pint.
"We always knew this was going to be a hard one on the budget. We were looking for people who were likely to work for a reduced fee, and who were likely to be averse to the ideology of the Heavens' Eyes. We must have miscalculated."
Pushing the glass towards the waiting barman, Daniel turned towards the exit, and then looked back at Sam.
"How long have you been with us now, Sam? Are you really still just freelance after all that?" Daniel gave a small grin. "Something gives me the impression that Lucy would disagree with you, you know."
"Anywho, you're almost certainly right. Tomorrow is going to be... stressful. I'm off. See you in the morning."
