Icarus's Funeral and some ideas?

[Caylis]

Perhaps for those who knew Icarus could have a small funeral or something?

How about Brynneth gets depressed and isn't like her old self, not willing to do anything? Perhaps she gets a new mate? (Not sure about the last part but we'll see.)

Maybe Influence sees his soul mate? (-insert female here-)

Jasper gets extremely responsible for Gespenster and tries his best to do what's right for his new pride?

.. Okay, being brutally honest-- she JUST lost Icarus. You shouldn't be considering a new mate yet, at all. Look at me, or Silv. We take months, YEARS to develop our characters. Try not to toss yours around like they're nothing around. It's horrible.

These are all personal plots, they'd be fine to do.

Finding a new mate just after losing a mate is a sign of finding false comfort, a replacement. Most relationships formed of such are probably destined for failure because the widow is looking for someone exactly like who they lost. [Psychology.]

Also if I am not mistaken, they didn't know each other for long? Not saying you can't get attached quickly, but it should play a factor. She lived a long life without him, and if she refuses to do anything... I'm sure the higher ups would give her a little moment of grief, and expect her to shape up or ship out after a week; she's not on the best of terms with them.

Finding a soulmate is incidental in roleplay, hardly something to plot for. It ruins the fun if you toss two characters together--there's no substance.

And as for Jasper, that's all up to you and your idea of character development.

I kind of want to impress this upon you, but maybe handing these questions to others is a bad idea, yet a good idea. If you're looking for an experienced answer, you'll continue to receive them, but here's a little tidbit of knowledge of the mechanics of roleplay; be flexible. Putting these questions to us, the ones of minute details involving your characters, means you either want attention for them or are concerned about them.

Do not be so.

We will, in character, react the way we will. If you need /another/ character to do something specific, then yes ask their player, but give yourself room to have your character take a life of their own. As authors, we're the meddlers. We tell our characters no when they're going too far, shepard them when they're going astray, but we have to sit back and acknowledge that we're their voice, not their essence.

[Caylis]

Yes, FJ I understand. I'll try to do what you said.
