Figured I should make one sense we are about to get the party started. I am looking forward to it. As soon as the map is complete. I am pretty excited about this! :mrgreen:

So far our characters are...
Brunn Mavalian
Casion Romin
Germine Taylors

I'll update the list as we get more people.
If there is one thing in the world I CAN'T stand it is the Redwings.

I'm really psyched about this thread!

if people stick with it I could definately see this going far. I hope it does, im sick of all the storybooks with potential dying out because no one wants to stick with them.

I am pretty committed to this. I have never tried it on this site before but I really had a positive experience with it a couple years back. Part of the reason these storybooks (especially fantasy ones) fail is due to the lack of setting. I hope a map and a rough sketch of plot will give us direction as to where we are going and where we want to be by the last sword str... I mean pen stroke.

You would be so screwed if I was able to post HF smilies. That is a legion of over 200 smilies that I would have at my disposal... :twisted:

Anyways, we need a good name for the Bad Guys (aka the Northerners.) Anybody got some good ideas?

You could always try my strategy and combine english words with another language. Russian works great, French is alright. xD

Before, I was one of those people guilty of getting really into it and then when everyone started leaving I would keeping it going and then I would join too many and I would forget about some, and then I vamooshed. I vanished into thin air. I disappeared from the Storybooks altogether. Though I have inspiration for this one, and the last one I had inspiration for never seemed to end even when it got down to three people writing it. Fun times, fun times. ;)

Man I just noticed, I am in the rambling mood tonight.

Welcome welcome. Always good to have another set of swords around. The one issue that I could see with your character profile is all the men that follow Bastilla. Can we compromise and make it either a man or a woman who goes with her? Too many people in what is supposed to be a small group... what do you think?

Okay, they were just random guards that were stationed with her. I was planning on giveing them the slip in the beginning. I could just make it one person, but the reason why I said many was because I didn't want to become to attatched to one and end up making him a character, after all we are only allowed one.

I will just make it one person though if you want to. ;)

First thing you learn with me is never put too much faith on me. xD
So names... I am not quite sure. Do you want the norhterner names to match the ones in the south, like for style?

I dunno. We need a really good evil sounding name for them, but my creativity is hitting a brick wall. :thud:

As long as this thread has other people in it, I'll be here. ^^ And if I ever stop posting, start bombarding me with PMs until I come back... that won't happen though.

Northern names, hmm... something viking-ish, I'd say. Skarnors? Birinoths? Shirvas? I dunno. If any of those are promising, go ahead.
