Whenever you have the answers to the things you need decided, Muse, please let us know. As Andronica has suggested, do get in touch with HairyHeretic on those matters. We can proceed when your character is finished.<br/><br/>For my part, it is fine if Amanda decided to join the party after seeing Gloriosus's healing magic in some village or other, but their dissimilar power sources do mean that while there is overlap in capability there is no bond to form as in mentor and student. I do hope that you develop a stronger motivation and rationale for your character's presence within the group, however, when you have everything figured out.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=348967.msg16409233#msg16409233">Quote from: Envious on 21-02-2023, 05:37:25</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Okay, having re-read everything...!<br/><br/>We have such sweet characters. Tymir would be considered dependable and capable and polite, but people would easily see that he's just on autopilot and going through necessary social expectations. Never raises his voice. Always does his fair share and then some. Never gets angry. Doesn't initiate small talk and conversation tends to lean towards pragmatic. He doesn't speak about himself, but he has a reputation for being a great shot. Probably seen as a good listener because he doesn't speak much, give judgement or opinions, or try to "fix" people's relationship problems.<br/><br/>Seen as a good group mate because he puts in the work and isn't annoying.<br/><br/>He currently has the personality of a potato, but I'm excited to see how he grows in the group and see him invest in relationships again.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>My current thinking is that Leonidas realizes that Potato-mir is on autopilot, but also that men like Tymir have their reasons for being silent and potato-like and won't press for a revelation or RPG cutscene confession backstory infodump. So Leonidas won't proselytize or anything, but make the effort include Tymir by asking for his help with camp related tasks - e.g. gathering fuel for the fire, making/breaking camp, etc. - with the goal of helping to make him feel included.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=348967.msg16409405#msg16409405">Quote from: Andronica on 21-02-2023, 14:55:44</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>@Gadrai &amp; CH</strong> I'm totally fine with Ori having a damsel in distress situation where she's caught off guard during a routine marauder clean up (Leo was preoccupied during the fight?) and Magga lends the surprise assist, if that's amenable, or they find the orc already there.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Perhaps it might have been a manifestation of Leonidas's fault: he overestimated Orisanna, owing to her Elven nature, and allowed her to be outflanked/outmaneuvered. Certainly such a situation would be an eye-opener for Leonidas.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=348967.msg16409782#msg16409782">Quote from: lore on 21-02-2023, 23:30:24</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>@ ALL</strong> I’m going to make an effort to make sure Rhona isn’t forever a stick in the mud.
