				Character Thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=229506.0)<br>IC Thread Floors 1-? (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=228968.0)<br><br>I've been using Private Messages a lot while organizing this RPG, but I figure it's about time I started a proper OOC thread.&nbsp; ;)<br><br>At this point it looks like we're starting off with two pairs of characters -my Artemis with Reaper's Achima and SmilinFox's Accacia with Sessha's Annelotte (is it just me or do <em>all</em> of our character screen names start with the same letter?).&nbsp; We've got one additional player, Catherine, who is planning to play a newbie.&nbsp; I'm thinking of having her run into and join Artemis and Achima at the announcement/reveal.<br><br>I am also thinking of reviving my other SAO RPG character Hiroko/Robin to bring the overall group up to six characters.&nbsp; I was thinking of having Accacia and Annelotte rescue her though Sessha might be getting sick of having Annelotte save Hiroko from compromising situations. :P&nbsp; Alternately maybe a new player will submit a character who can link up with their group.<br><br>Actually rather than having the two groups be separate for a while we could have them run into each other and join together at the scene of the announcement.&nbsp; Personally I'd like to keep the two groups separate for a bit after the announcement, but other may prefer to get everyone into one group as early as possible.<br><br>Edit: Actually, it looks like Akira is joining in as well (sorry man, I'd made an assumption since you hadn't messaged me earlier in the week), so there's also his character to factor in.

				Hahah, I'd actually thought of that.&nbsp; But Akira's "Deathshadow" and my "Robin" (the character is an archer) kind of ruin it.&nbsp; :-(

				I made a new character thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=229506.0), and I'd like everyone to post their character profiles there.&nbsp; This might be a good opportunity to polish/clean them up a bit if there are any oddities or missing bits.&nbsp; (Though I'm not doing a great job of leading by example considering that I still haven't decided what subject Sara is taking in University and still have some uncertainties about her fighting style.&nbsp; :D)

				In the play thread or in the character thread?&nbsp; Actually either way the answer is no, there's no set posting order, though I discourage posting just for the sake of posting.&nbsp; Give careful consideration of what your post will accomplish.<br><br>I may be asking some of you to tweak and clean up your character profiles a little bit, but since the issues vary from profile to profile I think I'm going to do that individually via PM.

				Sessha, Smilingfox, do you think you could timeskip ahead a bit once your characters party up?&nbsp; I'd like to try to do the teleportation and Kayaba's announcement fairly soon if possible.<br><br>Also, I was thinking it would be good if we could start using some character portraits with our posts after the reveal with the mirrors.

				I'd like to pick this up a bit too if it's possible.&nbsp; I'm getting concerned that this is going to join the long list of RPGs I've been involved in that don't get very far.&nbsp; Posting every day may not be realistic, but can we at least try to post a little more frequently than we have been?

				Okay so it looks like its down to four of us: myself, Sessha, Akira, and Catherine.&nbsp; I was thinking of trying to recruit some new players but perhaps its best to stick with the group we've got rather than bringing in untested players who may or may not be very reliable.&nbsp; Four players should be enough to have a good game if all of them are committed.<br><br>Now since we've lost one, possibly two key players, we're going to need to start over (I am thinking of starting after Kayaba's announcement this time in order to avoid replaying the parts before it).&nbsp; And if we're going to be doing that, I think it would be a good idea to make some revisions to our characters.&nbsp; In particular I think it would be good to create some new connections between the characters so that it makes sense for them to come together at the start of the game.&nbsp; Perhaps the group is mostly students from the university Sara attends or something.<br><br>What are your thoughts on these matters?

				I am not really sure about to push the reset button, for me, at least would be frustrating to start all over again. I was thinking that maybe our characters casually find themselves in a dungeon looking for a reward, however is a trap dungeon (pretty much the same idea of what happened to Kirito´s first group), well many NPC got killed and the survivors (the 4 of us) well survive with a strong bond among them

				We've <em>barely</em> gotten started though.&nbsp; If we restarted after Kayaba's announcement we wouldn't have to replay the stuff that takes place before it (and I kind of want to play out the aftermath of Kayaba's announcement -for me it's not all about action scenes).<br><br>Also, the characters whose players dropped out make continuing the current story kind of awkward.&nbsp; One of the characters that is dropping out is Sara's best friend from university, while the other (probable) is a newbie Sessha's big sister type character took under her wing.&nbsp; Sara and Annelotte (Sessha's character) would take it pretty hard if those two were killed off.

				I think that I'd be fine with skipping to after the announcement, but I don't think we need a huge change, and even for some connection we wouldn't need something close, we could even just live in the same area, so it's not like we need any changes.&nbsp; I guess to summarize, I'm pretty much for this.

				Okay, I think what I'm going to do here is find one additional player to fill the role of Sara's friend from her university (since I don't think any of you really want to change your existing characters very much).&nbsp; I figure Sara and her friend will pick up Catherine's newbie character at the announcement.&nbsp; Sessha and Akira's characters can be part of the group from Sara's university or they can join the group later in the game.<br><br>I'm also thinking of resurrecting my other SAO RPG character Robin/Hiroko as a second character, but I plan for her to join the group later on, not right off the bat.&nbsp; BTW I imagine I'm probably the only person who is considering playing two characters, but if anyone else is interested in doing that please let me know.&nbsp; It might be an interesting way to expand the group without getting too many players involved.

				I was thinking in Asuna, of course her story might not be the cannon story, where she met and fell in love with Kirito, to keep the yuri in the RP

				I think I'm going to say no on that one.&nbsp; I don't really want to be using canon characters as player characters in this RPG.&nbsp; Certainly not one that prominent.
