Kestrel she/her Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 We also need a way to pull all our characters together, which I think was going to be the main first plot in general. They all team up and fight a group of criminals. Some big event needs to draw them together.
Lord Pifferdoo he/him Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I'm waiting on somebody to recognize Souter from his bandit days.
Unodus he/him Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Well, if you need a main plot, Lark- what if all the characters were competing to capture "Jon the mistborn" for the ridiculous bounty? We could do it in segments, each "team" races to capture the most "Disciples" before exposing and turning in Jon and his gang for the huge reward. What I was planning was that each "disciple" would be at a separate location- and would require careful planning and strategy in order to capture that specific disciple (Similar to the Wheel of Time, where in the earlier books- each forsaken acts to their own ends, and are gradually taken down one at a time). We could have each "team" interact in competition, trying to capture more disciples than the others in order to be the first to find Jon. Of course, this would be a very long term goal- as each character has their own priorities to focus on primarily as well. That's the bare bones of the idea we could use, obviously I can expand on it if people are interested :3
Unodus he/him Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Btw, if Ventures riot is going to be an issue- perhaps Kherstor would be best to pacify the situation? Given that he can nullify allomancers with chromium, which we already know are among the ambushers- that would in turn cause the attackers to panic and scatter. It would be a good way to have all our characters gathered in one place so that they can introduce each other to each other, and we could embed the sudden attack as a mystery to be explored further in the plot- I feel that would be better than just erasing the incident entirely. Does anyone else have an opinion on the matter? Obviously, we should be more open in creating such events in the future- but we may as well make the most of it, since its there- right? I'm waiting on somebody to recognize Souter from his bandit days. Waiting? But you haven't posted anything yet, though? :V I don't mind helping you into the story though, if that's what you're asking- given that Kherstor can recognize most criminals from their bountys.
emilylime she/her Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I'm about to have Finner take Kherstor to the Iron Inn, which is where Resool and Alahya are headed if I remember correctly :> Edit: Well, if we're going to remove the riot. Which is what I was about to ask... Are we going with the riot or no? Edited May 5, 2015 by Lady Eowyn 1
emilylime she/her Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I'm waiting on somebody to recognize Souter from his bandit days. Oh, I thought you had a specific person in mind for that, not that it was open for everyone. I already have two characters and neither can fill the role you're asking.

Kestrel she/her Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 I'm fine with keeping the riot in, as long as it'll serve a purpose later on. I do like your idea, Uno, about using Jon. The attack could be from him, actually, especially if he heard that there's new lawmen in town. There could be some random attacks (that possibly Bella would know about, as I'm assuming she lives there), and she could explain the situation once everyone is gathered and at the inn. I do admit, though, I haven't been reading Eowyn and Uno's posts. I need to go do that when I have time. I'm awful oops.
emilylime she/her Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Lol, they are quite long. c: But storms am I having fun already. But if the attack is from Jon, my only issue is the number of men. 20+ bandits feels like a lot to me. Most people don't believe Jon even exists, right? I doubt that he'd send a large group of men to attack Callingfale, the town he's staying in/near, just after it received an influx of Misting and Twinborn lawkeepers. also, Jon seems to prefer quiet assassination over brutal and up-front attacks. If he did send men to attack, I think it'd be more likely to be a few trained Mistings in the middle of the night going in for a stealth-kill type thing. (assassination. The word I was looking for was assassination.) kolo? I mean, unless the people don't know the riot is from Jon? idk. How many followers does Jon have? would he risk that many people in an attack against other mistings/twinborns? am I overthinking this? too many questions? idk, man. idk. I do really like the idea of Jon sending attacks tho. perfect way to get this started imo. Also, Lark, is there going to be any specific person in charge of acting as Jon/posse? Or is it going to be a "whenever you run into them you're in charge of them" type thing?
Lord Pifferdoo he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I posted yesterday, and I left it pretty open-ended for someone to recognize Souter. Although, with whatever is going on with Venture's guy now...
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Venture? Why did you do that without asking anyone?Sorry I like action. We were standing around. Teams work well together after they have experienced combat. There is something I am not telling you about "Ven" Edited May 6, 2015 by Venture Mistborn
Kestrel she/her Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 @Eowyn We can work out and edit the specifics a bit, but I feel that a riot would be a good way to bring them together, if we plan it correctly. I'd rather have the person who created Jon to play him. That's the same for all villains. If you have an idea for one, post it here, and you can play the villain for that plot. We could rotate the job around, too. @Venture you need to go on the last page and read what we're planning with your riot. We need input. Because a riot is kinda a big thing. If you have some huge, largely altering plot point for your character, please send it to me (via private message, if you want) before doing anything with it. So I can see it and okay it.

Its not a riot. A local group of bandits is attacking. Three are Allomancers.
Kestrel she/her Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Riot, attack, whatever. It still is a big point that needs to be worked out. I've been in rps where things like that happened randomly. It wasn't pretty.
emilylime she/her Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 @Eowyn We can work out and edit the specifics a bit, but I feel that a riot would be a good way to bring them together, if we plan it correctly. good point!! I'll get (re)started on my response, then. I'm excited for all the characters to meet :{D
Unodus he/him Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Is everyone ok with my next post? I don't mind editing it if people want to put in how they're character really would have reacted :V Also- Eowyn, would you mind if I borrowed yours/winters metallurgist sidecharacter? My explanation for the attack was going to be that Jon was looking for more mistings to add to his array of disciples to make his act more convincing, and that the metallurgist was secretly reporting to Jons men every time a new misting was approved- so that they could be captured and taken to Jon, and force the new misting into becoming one of his "disciples". The details are still pretty flexible, but interrogating the metallurgist would be a nice first lead- and it would be perfect if you wanted to immerse your other character into the story. Any problem with that...? :B
emilylime she/her Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Yeah that's totally fine!! Jinks is kind of a side character, anybody can control him really. Edited May 11, 2015 by Lady Eowyn
Kestrel she/her Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 Sorry for not replying a lot! Been very busy. Let me read/maybe post. I'll try to post today but not making any promises.
Kestrel she/her Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Hm. I'm thinking that Resool would probably try to convince her to stay, mainly because of the danger she'd be in if she didn't. In any case, I was thinking about having him take Bella and they ride away to the inn, away from the fight, if that's cool with you guys.
Kestrel she/her Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 What thing? You need to communicate with us a bit more with plot points if you have ideas. You can't just make things happen. We need to check to see if the whole team is fine with it. ^^ 1
Mistrunner Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Are you still accepting members? If so, I want to break the cliche of having awesome powers! I want to be a smoker! Nothing more, nothing less! 3
Mistrunner Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 My character's name is Rainier (pronounced like the mountain, not the adjective). She's a smoker (copper, not cigarettes). She's usually very quiet, though when you get her talking she has a very dark sense of humor. She won't talk about her past or her family, mostly because she doesn't have much of either. She prefers to stay in the shadows because the sun hurts her eyes. She likes cheese. She'll eat anything with cheese on it. Honestly, though, she eats just about anything anyway. 3
