				<div align="center">(https://img.aws.livestrongcdn.com/ls-article-image-673/ds-photo/getty/article/94/71/463554951.jpg)</div><br>Welcome to the OOC, everybody :-)&nbsp; I'm feeling just about ready to kick this off, but I feel like we should take just a second to say a little about our characters' opinions of the rest of the group.&nbsp; I'll start for Yulia.<br><br><strong>Margolynn:</strong> The only person Yulia's ever met who shows even less about herself than she does.&nbsp; Still, it's a comfort having someone older around to depend on.&nbsp; (Does Margolynn lie about her age/use illusions to look younger with the rest of the party?&nbsp; I wasn't sure from reading her background, but the art made me think she looks younger than 42.)&nbsp; As far as Yulia ever listens to anyone, Margolynn probably gets the closest.<br><strong>Lissa:</strong> The two have a lot in common, or so Yulia likes to think, both socially starved outcasts growing up, and the only two women of close to the same age in the group.&nbsp; Yulia probably feels closer to Lissa than anyone else, and actually makes some effort to be sincere with her.<br><strong>Adrian:</strong> A lovable idiot.&nbsp; His patronizing and sexism can grate at times, but he's so innocent and sincere about it that Yulia doesn't have the heart to really mind.&nbsp; And he's great in the sack.&nbsp; She probably tends to treat him like a child, but then, she talks down to almost everybody.<br><strong>Galathiir:</strong> I think Galathiir is one of the few people who's managed to win Yulia over without reservation.&nbsp; She finds him charming, funny, and entertaining, and he seems to genuinely care about her (leaving it open whether he actually does or whether that's just him having the charisma to make everyone feel that way).<br><br>Other than that, is there anything else you guys want to work out before we start?

				Margolynn probably does “smooth out” the crows feet a little. Knocks a decade off most days and more when she’s on the prowl. Lol<br><br>When someone spends as much time in other people’s skins, it takes a toll. It’s entirely possible Margolynn Chambers isn’t even her real name, as she has spent decades hopping from life to life. When not “acting”, she behaves very much like a woman of noble upbringing if not outright noble lineage. But then she has explained this away a number of times and ways, explaining she was a wealthy merchants daughter who had her properly educated, that she was a whipping girl for a baroness’s daughter, that she was a chamber maid’s daughter who picked up the trappings of the nobles, etc...<br><br>She’s a habitual liar who lost the actual truth of the matter back in her twenties. But... given that understanding Her opinions are, <br><br><strong>Yulia</strong>: Margolynn feels sorry for her, while at the same time remains fascinated. Most of Margo’s life has been figuring out how to insert herself into the lives and affections of others. She prefers to hide in plain sight as close to her enemies as possible and so one who runs is an interesting character study. <br><br>She makes no bones about the fact she has a certain attraction to the Witch, though her affections are as with most things Margolynn, a little unusual. It’s hard to tell if she dotes on Yulia because she is attracted to her as a person or wonders what it feels like to walk the night in her body. In the event Yulia dies, Margolynn HAS already decided she’s going to steal her face...<br><br><strong>Lissa</strong>: Margolynn likes Lissa and frankly considers her a favorite drinking companion. There is the old adage, “Honor Amongst Thieves” and Margolynn certainly feels a kinship with her, as they are both thieves of a sort. Lissa simply has the decency to halt her pilfering at a persons belongings, while Margolynn steals lives. <br><br>Margo is an excellent actress and so knows full well that despite Lissa’s protest that she finds the group tedious, they fill a void in her life. <br><br><strong>Adrian</strong>: So pretty... She remains playfully aloof on the road and claims to be immune to his charms. At the same time she has come to him many times wearing the face of a village girl or local harlot. Margo has no doubt he has even known it was her a few times but played along. <br><br>His bravado and heavy handed chivalry are refreshing for someone who keeps her own counsel. And again... he’s so pretty. <br><br><strong>Galathir</strong>: Trustworthy and entertaining on the road. Margolynn believes that she sees potential in the two misfits, Galathir and Yulia, and that if there is a fair and just Fate, some day they may settle down, loving each other when the world fears them. <br><br>At least... that is what she imagines on good days when she daydreams of years to come for her companions. On bad days, she fights the urge to wear Yulia’s form and see what kind of face he makes when he spills his seed.

				In my char part;<br><br><strong>Yulia:</strong> Adrian haven't minded Yulia's reputation and behavior being witch alike, after all, his own mother uses what most could call 'dark magic'. More so elven society overall being open about magic and educated on the matter. What comes for her nature/perversions, he more than willingly accepts them and enjoys them. But if Yulia had told any manner tragic part of her childhood, Adrian would had sympathized and told in end it was good thing she did not take revenge and 'embrace the darkness' of her own heart and then probably transformed into very thing church had burned her mentor for. Not that Adrian would had accepted the deed any manner.<br><br><strong>Lissa:</strong> Adrian had no reservations about Lissa despite her past, as in his own lands there are plenty tales of daring scoundrels who do good work in shadow of the night. It may had been perhaps too naive trust the scoundrel as much as he did but may had helped Lissa open up (up to you). But her thieving habit, more so when she steals tips he generously give to pretty waitresses, does annoy him and upset him. But he does enjoy her 'apology' orals from under the tavern table none the less. But he also views her, a fellow half-elf, introduced more elven values which he learned while growing up and introducing them slowly to her. Enjoy simple joys of life besides glitter of gold.<br><br><strong>Margolynn:</strong> Adrian, after learning her talents and skills, does not trust her 100% (ironic considering Lissa is in party). But reason being that he haven't figured out the 'true face' of Margolynn and thinks she either fears much exposing her true self or has dark secret to hide. But her skills have more than once turned useful for adventures and her skills with magic as well (similar to mother's own magic but different). Mother told beware other warlocks as different patrons do change greatly warlock's behavior (and with fey it varies a lot as well). From three women he has slept most least with her, thanks her manner how she had used seduction against enemies and exploited people a lot. Even paladin who serves ancients which code is quite loose, he finds the moral gray nature of Margolynn and her actual loyalty to group questioned often by himself. However few times when she had taken guise of blue eyed blond elf/half-elf/human, acting all innocent, he had liked taunt and tease her to check will she stick on character how far.<br><br><strong>Galathiir:</strong> He sees Galathiir similarly bold brave fool who is lover of women like himself. A friend? A rival? A line drawn in water in that regard and depends on the day. But fun company none the less. Lacking any sexual interests he haven't bedded him but no doubt they had shared women together some point (double team on someone who needs good double hammered pounding relieve stress).

				<strong>Yulia:</strong> In the beginning Lissa kept expecting Yulia to be like the orphan street rats she grew up with, and so kept expecting a knife in the back the moment it would've profited her.&nbsp; When she realized that Yulia wouldn't actually betray her trust she was both moved and appalled.&nbsp; On the one hand, she realized that she could actually <em>trust</em> someone, and on the other she was worried that Yulia was too naive to survive.&nbsp; She started being very protective of the witch in her own subtle way, insulting anyone that bothers her and then robbing and humiliating them without letting anyone know she did it (although Yulia and the others have probably figured it out).<br><br><strong>Margolynn:</strong> While the person who should probably be the least trustworthy out of the group, in the beginning that made Lissa trust her more than the rest.&nbsp; She couldn't accept the idea that the others were actually being honest with her, so someone so obviously dishonest was a relief.&nbsp; They have indeed become drinking buddies.<br><br><strong>Adrian:</strong> Lissa assumed he was an easy mark, but like with Yulia she's slowly transitioned from planning to rob him to trying to keep him from getting robbed by the rest of the world.&nbsp; She doesn't have any experience with elven culture, and alternates between being fascinated by what he talks about, and pushing his ideas away as something very foreign.&nbsp; She realized that he wasn't trying to trick her by acting trusting earlier than with the others, and that has helped her learn to trust the group.&nbsp; She finds him a bit full of himself and refuses to a 'fair maiden' or 'damsel in distress' under any circumstances.<br><br><strong>Galathir:</strong> Lissa always thought minstrels and bards were only useful for distractions while picking pockets in taverns.&nbsp; He's still good for that, but she's come to appreciate having an entertainer along on the road.

				Alright folks, your IC (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=291915.0) is up.&nbsp; Thought I'd leave it open to whoever wants it to be their bedroll Yulia's in.&nbsp; Let me know if there are any issues!<br><br>Greenknight, I personally would love to see Galathiir's thoughts on the rest of the group if you feel like sharing, but no rush.

				So this is totally on me, I actually had something specific in mind for what a godstone is, but I didn't go into it in my last post because I didn't want to bog things down with exposition that won't be relevant until later.&nbsp; I should explain at least a little now, though.&nbsp; The basic idea I had was, godstones are old holy sites dedicated to a largely dead religion, but still sought out as landmarks by travelers.&nbsp; I still don't want to say too much about it before it comes up, so I'll leave it at that for now.&nbsp; Also I sort of wanted to keep the group away from any major settlements, other than maybe the occasional small village, so that's why I said the Border was scarcely inhabited, with no big cities along the road.&nbsp; Zaer, Adrian would know all that, so...would you mind?&nbsp; Sorry for the confusion--a lot of the time, I do like to just throw ideas out there with no explanation and let other people expand on them, I just happened to have an explanation I'm really excited to use in this case.&nbsp; I'll try and be more clear about these things in the future.<br><br>Also, aren't Yulia and Galathiir both naked right now? ::)
