				I generally play along with the partner's style. I'm comfortable with 2-3 paras on average. No worries on the grammar front, cell phones make things a little tricky, and that's fine by me.<br><br>Couple of points I do want to make sure we agree on though:<br><br>1. We are all mature people, and will treat any conflicts/disagreements arising in the game in a mature manner on the OOC. This would include Godmoding issues as well - the first 1 or 2 mistakes will be warned, and then the player in question is expected to be more careful. I hope we're all fine with going back and editing posts if they seem to be messing up the flow of the story or the scene (post a patient post or two on the OOC thread, of course).<br>2. We'll make sure we don't keep the story on hold for too long, ruining it for the other two players - my point below is related to this as well. If A/As aren't updated, we can at least post on the OOC in case we've been absent for (or are going to absent for) more than 3 days in a row (or thereabouts! I hate sounding like a rulebook :P ).<br><br>The reason I suggested an online romance (with frequent meetings) for Jack and his daughter/cousin is so that all 3 characters are in the story all the time. A chapter wise treatment could apply (first Jack and his aunt meet, then Jack and his cousin meet, and then he realizes he is a reincarnation and then daughter comes back and so on) but that would mean one of the players is out of the story in each chapter. But now, Jack can be building a relationship with the daughter, while staying with her mom. And both the relationship arcs can progress simultaneously. Of course, this brings in the matter of that one point in the story where Jack knows he's doing both his wife and daughter (or both his aunt and cousin, depending on how the story goes) and still goes on with it. Is he wicked, or just madly in love with two people at the same time? <br><br>Sorry for rambling on! Would love to hear your thoughts :)

				I generally try and post at least a couple of paragraphs per post, though the more I have to work with, the longer my posts tend to be.&nbsp; I don't do anything huge that runs on for pages and pages, but I'm capable of several paragraphs, when inspiration strikes.<br><br>As far as posting from phones and grammar goes, I'm pretty flexible about stuff like that.&nbsp; The occasional spelling error is fine, but it gets frustrating when posts are constantly full of grammar and spelling mistakes.&nbsp; So far I don't think that's an issue here though.<br><br>The rules are fine by me too, and I like the dual plot, having Jack and the daughter's relationship detailed at the same time as Lucile's.&nbsp; I've noticed that group games that alternate in chapters and scenes tend to lose players, because someone's always having to wait for their turn.&nbsp; Focusing on both plots at the same time should take care of that problem though.<br><br>I'll be pondering on a name for the daughter, and thinking on a bit of background too while I'm at it.&nbsp; I can't do it now, as I've got an errand in a few minutes, but I'll definitely have something down in writing later tonight, I'm hoping.

				Does the daughter remember anything about her dad, or was she too young when he died to remember much?&nbsp; I don't think the original recruitment thread said anything about it, though it could have just slipped my mind.&nbsp; I'm thinking I'll call her Natalie, and that she's in her first year at school away from home, unless either of you have any objections, and she needs to be a bit older for some reason.

				Sarah, if the daughter is about 18 (as per your description of her first year in school away from home), and the cousin has to be 16 (E rules), then her father must have died when she was 2. So it's hard she'd remember anything about him. <br><br>Jaden, would love to hear your take on the story and characters :)

				I'm not sure how I feel with the nephew being 16. In most states my character, if got caught, would be arrested for rape being under 18. That being said, I need to make my char probably twice the daughter's age to make it believable that the daughter is hers. I'd&nbsp; prefer the daughter remember a little bit of the father, but that's just me. What are we using as the family last name? Or are we all having different last names?

				I agree Jaden, the nephew has to be 18. But that complicates things a little - for him to be 18, the father must have died 18 years ago. And for the daughter to remember something about her father, she should have been in the 7-10 years range when he died (is that a right assumption?) That would make the daughter between 25 and 28 years old when the story starts, and the mother somewhere between 45-55 (depending on when we assume she gave birth).<br><br>Sarah - are you ok with playing a 25-28 year old, romancing someone 8-10 years younger than you? Do you want the daughter's character to remember something about the father?<br><br>Jaden - are you ok with playing between&nbsp; 45 and 55 years of age?<br><br>The mother and daughter will have the same last name (which you both choose), while the nephew's last name can be Hawthorne.

				I was thinking the daughter around 5. I can remember my grandfather a little and he passed when I was 5. My and great- grandmother I know they stories because I was 2 when they passed. I could've been 18 when I had her which now would be about 40 if the daughter is about 24.

				This works. So the nephew is 18, the daughter 23 and the mother 41 (so she had her daughter when she was 18). <br><br>Nephew's name is Jack Hawthorne. Daughter's name is Natalie. Jaden, please choose a name for the mother and the last name for her &amp; the daughter.<br><br>Is this a good point to start? - The nephew's first day at his aunt's, and at night he logs in to chat to his friend (the daughter). They've been meeting online for three months now and are planning to meet face to face in the next month.

				This works for me.&nbsp; Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner, but I've been dealing with a case of the stomach bug for the last couple of days, so I didn't have much energy for checking messages.&nbsp; I'm feeling better now though, if you don't count the fact I'm running on only about an hour's worth of sleep.&nbsp; 23 works fine for the daughter, or we can even make her and Mom a bit older, if Jayden would rather her character be older when she had Natalie.&nbsp; Maybe Natalie's still in school because she's studying for her master's or something, if we're sticking with the idea that she doesn't go home until summer.&nbsp;

				I did, and thanks for asking!&nbsp; I think we're pretty much ready to start, once we have last names for the mom and daughter.&nbsp; Not that they'll probably be used all that much, but it's realistic for them to have one, I'm thinking!&nbsp; :P<br><br>Still trying to decide on a major for Natalie.&nbsp; I'm thinking of giving her a major in English, and that she wants to be a writer, but she's also majoring in education, so that in case the writing doesn't work out, she can have a fallback and teach, which could explain why she's still in school.&nbsp; She's taking longer to get all her classwork done because of the double major.

				Let's go with Mercer for the last name.&nbsp; If we're going with pictures, I'll need help finding one, since I can't see to find one myself.&nbsp; My mom had me about three months too early, and the doctors gave me too much oxygen, which made my retinas detach.&nbsp; I can see light and dark, but no shapes or colors, so looking at pictures is definitely out!&nbsp; :P

				I can help you find a picture if you want one. I usually do better seeing an image to go with the character. For the mom I was thinking of using one of Shania Twain's pics. lol I never knew that you had vision problems like that. To they have you as legally blind because all you can tell is light and dark?&nbsp; Of the few role plays that I think you and I have been in before for a bit before they fizzled out, I never knew that was why you always had someone else find you a pic.

				Maybe I just forgot to explain in our other group games why I needed help finding pictures, though I could have sworn I had.&nbsp; I always try to remember to tell anyone I'm writing with about it, so they'll know beforehand, in case I forget to include details that people who can see just think to include automatically, like how people move, and describing what they're wearing, as examples.&nbsp; I think the technical category for my form of blindness is totally blind, with light perception, but I could be wrong.&nbsp; Someone who's totally blind I think is someone who can't even see light, at least that's my understanding of it.<br><br>I'm thinking we might want to find a picture that has some of the same features as Shania's, though I'm not sure what she looks like.&nbsp; I actually didn't know you could use celebrities for pictures on here, but maybe I missed that somewhere, seeing as I can't hunt for pictures on my own.

				You may have said something in the outer groups and I didn't see it since the role plays had a lot more people in them and a lot of chatter in the ooc thread.<br><br>I've never had problems having celebs before for characters. You are correct that total blindness you wouldn't even see light or dark. My ex-uncle was color blind. I always thought it interesting how he perceived colors, Usually in different shades of grey, and depending on the shade could tell you there color. Yellow had had trouble with because it's so close to white and certain shades of blue and purple were to close to black.<br><br>The actress I was thinking for the daughter isAdrienne Bailon.<br><br>&nbsp;(http://files.clubplanet.com/SiteFiles/ArticleImages/3023/Adrienne%20Bailon.jpg)

				I've not heard of either of the actors you guys chose, but I'll use Jaden's suggestion.&nbsp; What does Adrienne look like in the picture, so I can get things like eyes and hair color and such, for one thing, and because I'm curious for another?<br><br>Name: Natalie Mercer<br>Age: 23<br>Studying: Creative writing and education.<br>Personality: Outgoing and friendly, though she can seem shy at first until someone gets to know her.&nbsp; She's not afraid to try new things, though she won't take what she considers to be unnecessary risks either.&nbsp; She's not much into the partying stereotype, and tries to avoid those that have serious problems when they do go, preferring to find more sensible things to entertain herself with.

				I've not heard of the guy that dreamster chose either. Shania Twain is from Canada and is a country music singer. Married to Mutt Lang her producer, I believe.

				The guy I've chosen is a 20 year old actor, who played Percy Jackson in the movie 'Percy Jackson &amp; the Olympians'. So who should start the thread? I'd say Jaden, with her character bringing her nephew home and thinking to herself this is the right move. What do you both say?
