ok we're off to a good start I think.<br/>i'd like everyone to decide whether or not your character knows the other character before our story starts. also any ideas you have about what happened between them before we begin the story  (i.e., they became friends, they always fights, etc.)<br/><br/>here's what i think of my character in relation to the others and a bit of an idea for their history (of what happened before our story begins).<br/><br/>Midnight: Taskill would sense that Mid is leery of him (and frankly wouldn't be offended. he's used to people being weirded out by him.) I think Taskill would have tried to befriend Midnight when he was first captured and tried to give him companionship during the rough times (being broken in). Maybe he was successful and they are friends, though Midnight seems to keep a distance.(?) Task was in the castle much longer than him so he would've had some advice.<br/><br/>Lyra: I think Taskill knows Lyra and likes her. His affinity to animals would make him favor her. Like Midnight, I think Taskill as one of the oldest captives in the castle, would have given her some advice on how to handle Byrn. Let us say they are friends? (He would be unaware of her secret plans.)<br/><br/>Byrn: This one will be tricky. Taskill has been his slave for X number of years and so a master-slave dynamic would have formed. He is one of Byrn's longest-kept captives, perhaps the very first one he "broke in" for this kind of work. Their past might be tumultuous. Taskill tends to fall in love with those he sleeps with and an evil wizard would be no exception. though by now he would have given up that but still feels some pain over it. we will say they have a shaky peace between them, with Taskill avoiding him more and more.<br/><br/>Ayra: These two probably have not met often, since you mention that Ayra lives on a floor with empty halls? I will wait for more info from you, Kate before I say. but i think they would have met by now but not often.<br/><br/>
