So then. I think, to kick things off once this first batch of auditions winds up, we should have some manner of epic adventure! Because everybody loves epic adventures!
Any ideas? Thought I'd throw the idea out and see what bounced back.

Hey, Beolakh, I hope you're going to wait for my audition to finish!! If you don't, I'll do something very dark and baneful. Don't cross me!!

So we are going to have an overall plot of some kind? Cool! ;D Now, ideas.... well, there's always the simple idea of a war. Definitely involving the Talambrians I think. They seem just the kind of people to go to war if you ask me. If not an international war, we could have a civil war, maybe its time for a new election somewhere, or the king is assassinated, you know, something where you have to take sides (and one isn't necessarily good or bad). Ok, ok, we don't have to have a war. If we don't have a war, then we need some evil villain dude, trying to do something maliciously villainy. Like taking over the world by first taking over the seas, and thus controlling trade, economy, transportation, even communication (remember that there aren't telephones! :-o). So what do y'all think?

Man, you sure are on the global scale. We don't even need to go that big.
For instance, we could run into a weird cult, or we could all meet up and go fight dudes in a cave, or, we could even get together and go on vacation!! Yeah!! Come on, something fun!! And, to have some fun, we could fight sea monsters or something that want to eat us. (Man, Ashlyn is really coming out in this post.) But I'm cool for anything. Just that we get it started.

well, it has to be big enough for all our characters to get involved, unless we are going to conveniently put them all in the exact same place our characters are in different lands, that's a fact. So unless everyone plans to move to one land, it has to be on a global scale. The point of this is to have an overarching plot. You can go do that stuff with your own character and maybe a couple others, but that stuff isn't really suited to an adventure involving every character.

True, True. Very True.
Alright, global. Umm, war, always fun. Change of power, possibility. Assassination, interesting to see what happens. But we could do a big cult somewhere that I causing havok to lots of nations. Umm, well, I'm out of ideas.
But the part that I don't like is making enemies with some of the people on the site. I want to be able to interact with all of you. But then again, challenges are good. So we'll see.

Great point. I wanna be able to interact with everyone too, not always fighting with the same people against the same people. So I think that whatever we have there can't be a clearly good and bad side, that way switching and/or people who see both sides vying for peace have room to do that, and its not just a good guys vs. bad guys fight.

Great!!
So, is anyone else going to join this wonderful discussion that Tydus and I are having?? Come on, seriously. Other opinions would be nice.

Assassination, assassination... did someone mention politics? Assassination is something I'm deffinately interested in.
What about legends and mystical objects et? What if everyone gets more or less the same clue/hint/mission to go do/find something somewhere wierd and have to band together to survive in an impossibly hostile land? I don't know!

Ooh, everyone hunting for something? Sounds like Rat Race , that's a hilarious movie and so is Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. That could be fun!

"And, to have some fun, we could fight sea monsters or something that want to eat us."-quote, Ashlyn Viran Ic: *chuckles* Sea monsters...Oh, you land dwellers are SO predictable. You would be far to sugary sweet for my delicate tastes. Ooc: I know this is suppoesed to be an out of character discussion, but I felt the need to throw that in...

*laughs* hm... well... that last idea about everyone hunting for something (or someone) could work. Or an assasination attempt on a person of power that some are trying to keep safe or capture, or kill, or whatever I don't know I haven't yet gotten aquainted with most of the charries yet, so

Okay. Aquaintance with my character - assassin, introvert, and if you read the first part of my bio, it covers it fairly quickly. Dark, dangerous, and mysterious. Not a nice guy.

Hmm...we have a gladiator, a traveling guard, an escaped slave (soon to be two escaped slaves), an exile (soon to be two exiles), a farm hand, and an assassin.
Hmm...getting Tydus away from his farm could be tricky. Or not. I'm sure Riv will come up with something.
Grail quests are fairly standard. Fun, but very standard for fantasies. A political thrill-ride could be fun, especially to help establish what our world is like.
Ashlyn's cult, or something of the sort, could be handy in getting everyone else involved (those who aren't in political circles).
Wait...waaaait. Thought.
Aetheraen princess/queen came to Talambar for a summit. There was an assassination attempt. *everyone glares suspiciously at Vinquith* Now she's trying to get back to Aetherae, but is afraid if she follows popular channels to look for guards, she'll end up with a bunch of assassins. So she ends up with a rather ragamuffin entourage that eventually boards passage on a certain merchant ship...
But a certain devious assassin has managed to track her and join said ragamuffin group of bodyguards. And now we have a problem...
Meh. Maybe not. *continues brainstorming*

Hey, that's actually a pretty good idea. Needs some modification, sure, but I hink all plots do, and all we need is a rough idea of what's going to happen.
