The Jade Empire - OOC Thread

[Louanne Learning]

@Whiskii @ellekaldwin @buttercream

I've added Emperor Yu and two new characters - members of the Immortal Brothers of the Mountains - as well as an entry into the Lore thread for the Brothers. The descriptions are as of yet rather sparse, but I expect they'll be broadened before long.

The Immortal Brothers of the Mountains

The Immortal Brothers of the Mountains is a spirit society comprised of members drawn from various ancient cultures. They are the keepers of meaning, where meaning may mean the difference between life and death. The custodians of the sacred knowledge, part-memory keeper, and part-prophet, they operate within the interconnected layers of the natural and supernatural. They seek balance, harmony and justice.

In our story, we have three Immortal Brothers –

Gyatso (Chinese); Alto Mesioq (American Indigenous); and Liath (Pictish – Scottish)

we need to decide who are the main characters and who are supporting characters?

Whose story is this?

The ones that seem to stand out to me are Jiàn Lù and Rennie

Hello, just wondering if anyone had any thoughts about this?

I can't remember if we have had this conversation - we need to decide who are the main characters and who are supporting characters?

Whose story is this?

The ones that seem to stand out to me are Jiàn Lù and Rennie

Hello, just wondering if anyone had any thoughts about this?

Oops, seem to have missed it.

I'm of the same opinion. I knew Jiàn was main character material halfway through first reading her character profile, and Rennie's proven himself important the past several entries. Their respective arcs seem to have the most to offer, though I'm also excited for Tala's, Min's, and Bertrand's. And whatever's cooking up with Shan over there!

New entry is up! I wrote it kinda quickly and feel like there's something missing with it, but I hope it's okay. Excited to see how this goes!

I missed it too. I think all of the characters we started with (Rennie, Daiyu, Jian, Tala, Shaohua and now Min and Bertrand) are all main characters in their own ways. Rennie and Jian stand out because I think they're the defacto 'leaders' of the group. It took a while for all of them to finally link up, so now I'm looking forward to when Shan is finally introduced to the group (if that happens) and for the new old timers (I mean that in a nice way) to join the fun.

New entry is up!

Absolutely incredible! I loved it, especially the twists! It was riveting! Made my heart beat faster, as I swept along!

One little thing I should mention - in the entry, you have Daiyu in the cave - but she is outside of it with Rennie?
