I put that the little sister of my character was possessed, but I didn't mention what possessed her, so feel free to make suggestions about that.

I'm going to ask you to change that. Monsters can't possess anything. They are all completely natural creatures.
And remember...A portkey can be any sort of harmless object...A football...or a dolphin.

Now she's turned to stone. Basilisks are okay, right? Oh, and I also changed the name of my main character.

So I'm thinking of making the first post be after they've been recruited by the Society. Does that work for everyone?

I have a question about the use of monsters.

I was wanting to use the Fear Liath for my character's backstory, just because I really, really liked the sound of that thing. However, it has occurred to me that it is A) supposed to be all the way in Scotland and B) sometimes considered to be partially paranormal, which has been objected to previously. (Although one could argue with ultrasound and such.) So, should I change my backstory a little or would it be allowed?

I'm not the SB founder, but I think that should work.. Especially since, if we ever get to go fighting that, it adds a new dimension to it.. You know, hunting something that makes you be afraid of it as soon as you enter the territory? Sounds pretty challenging to me :)
If it's allowed, I'd love to have Darcy fight it (possibly accompanied with someone, to be sure it would actually end up the way we want it) xD


As for it being in Scotland, I got the impression that we can "operate" everywhere.. Or do our enemies just send monsters to a few places close to the Academy?

(Casually copy-pasting from another DT because I'm too lazy to write again)

*annoys*
Me again.. Are we starting soon?

By the way, I thought of informing you of a thing I tend to do, somehow.. I make an important side character (say, a random friend to my POV character) and that person, in time, becomes important enough for his story to be followed now and then when he separates from the main guy. So in that case, I might switch to his/her POV, though he/she won't have a profile posted (will be known everything about him/her from the MC's POV, though). Won't happen often. I hope that's ok, and that I made this clear enough xD

If not, Fruit knows that I did this with Althea from my SB, so he can tell you it doesn't do harm :mrgreen:

Well, I wouldn't say that is true, there is a war going on over Althea XD

I think the Fear Liath is okay, but when you put it in a post, try to come up with a biological reason for the fear (I like the ultrasound idea, or possibly pheromones, something like that). As for it being in Scotland, no biggie. The Bloodletters could have transported a specimen from there. While I imagine we will travel eventually, I want the story to start in New York. AriaAdams, that's fine, just so long as the secondary character doesn't become too important :). I will make the first post today!
