@Jane: Thank you for the clarifications, I think that clears any questions I have about your Aspects and locking eyes with a target to Mesmerize them works just fine. Mignon answered your question for the most part, but I'll clarify it a little further: The opening scene will take place introducing an NPC Emissary from Alithrone, a short combat will take place, after which the aforementioned Emissary will identify the Player Characters as having the potential for great power. She'll awaken the character's latent talents and then lead them back to Alithrone. At least that's the general plan we concocted at this point.<br/><br/>As for working Elizabeth in, working out character ties is the next step. So figuring out exactly when Elizabeth arrived in town (preferably at least 2 to 3 years earlier, if not earlier then that) would be the first step. From there we'll figure out how she ties into the other characters. Just need to make sure she has established ties with everyone so not only she feels like she's part of the group, but the group feels like she's part of it despite being something of an outsider in the country.<br/><br/>@HangedMan: I am fine with the jump ability and the enhanced parry as long as its in defense of someone else. As the game progresses if you think of more ideas feel free to share them as well. Otherwise, I think that's good.<br/><br/>@Selfexiled: Ok, the flirting can be an Aspect, but just to clarify for you Aspects are actually game traits that you'll invoke during play to improve actions that fall in line the Aspect. Astute Tinkering Guardian for instance can be invoked to improve craft or repair actions (Tinkering) or actions to defend someone else (Guardian) or actions to notice details (Astute). They can also be used to cause problems for the character enabling you to restore Fate most notably with a character's Trouble Aspect.<br/><br/>Ok, so, Onbin is very conscious of not offending people. Perhaps we can tweak this a bit to make it a bit more proactive in use where he is not simply conscious of being inoffensive, but good manners are essentially hardwired into him because that's the way he was raised. So, his Trouble might become 'Always Polite' which might be problematic if he's forced to observe the proper protocols with an enemy who is also 'behaving' politely.<br/><br/>If you want the flirting to be his last Aspect we need a phrase to encompass it like 'Lady's Handyman' or 'Falling for the Ladies' or something that sounds less cheesy or maybe even more cheesy.<br/><br/>@Everyone: Make sure to post your character sheets to the Character Sheet Thread (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=166979.0) if you haven't done so already. If you have done so, make sure to Modify your post to reflect all of the changes that have been discussed.<br/><br/>Also, make sure to add a written physical description of your character to your character sheet with a separate written description of your character's Soul Form if you have not done so already.
