+1, -1, and 3 to hold steady
Hi, all. It's the absentee semi-modly thing, aka Dragon. As I'm sure everyone's noticed, I've been basically completely out of the game for some time. This is me getting myself back in. To that end, a few things...
One - I've been talked into bringing in a new character. This is the knitted doll from a two-part series of point/click HOS games called "Stray Souls". He is the player's sidekick (and hint button). He's a magical construct that was created to protect his creator's brother when the time came. He doesn't look like much, but hey, the game ended with him facing down and defeating a horde of demons to allow the humans in his protection to escape. He - well, technically "it" - will develop a gender as he comes more into his own as a person and not /just/ a construct created to fulfill a purpose. He'll also gain a name somewhere along the way (Sam's going to name him) as in the game he's never really given one.
Two - I think I've finally figured out a big part of why I've been struggling in the game for so long. While I run three of the NPCs, I only have (had, before the doll's acceptance) one PC in the game, Thundercracker. While I still love him a lot, he's...gotten kind of boring to play, to be honest. By that I mean, I've been playing him long enough - through two consecutive, related games - that he's pretty much developed about as far as I can think to take him. I'm going to wrap up a couple old threads I've been asked to play out, but otherwise, I'm going to go ahead and let him go. This version, at least. Another thing I've been talked into is, sooner or later, to bring in an AU version of him that I have. That will come later, when I finish his app. But for now, canon!Thundercracker is a victim of the Miasma, disappearing back home. I will figure out later what will happen to his anniversary-given pet. His four fire lizards - Numbers, Screamer, Cracker, and Sky - will seek out Jadewing as they've been trained to do if they can't find TC.
Third - when Lunnaei and I started this game, one of the things we decided from the start was that the game's NPCs - the Guardians - would be available to the players/PCs as desired. While either of us can play any of the NPCs, each one is primarily played by one or the other. For me, that's Death, Wheeljack, and Rathan. So if anyone wants any of these three Guardians for anything, please feel free to speak up! They're available for interaction by request.
Aaaaaand I think that's everything. HUGE APOLOGIES!!!!! for my fail here so far. This is me getting back on the ball. I'll be putting up the knitted doll's IC intro tomorrow.
