Oooooh those ideas sound really good guys, I love the concept of the dragon's elemental energy spiking at their corresponding trials and seeping into the clan's home territory. And all that effecting the clan members at home as well as their relationships. Poor Ravae/Ivan/Catori gonna have trouble on their hands soonish no doubt, lol.

When Ivan's possible mess up occurs, could I perhaps introduce a new (kinda) character: Baiyen's mother into the RP? I'm thinking when Ivan's so preoccupied with persuing the one guy, he leaves his companions with their back unguarded (or better yet without needed leadership ehehe) causing someone to get badly injured, perhaps someone else chasing after Ivan and the group quickly being outnumbered; maybe they had travelled further from safety due lack of food from the heatwave. She then gives the remaining people in the group just the boost they need to ward off their attackers and Ivan comes back to someone else taking leadership. She could bring a whole extra splash of drama along with her too if anyone has further ideas. I've got ideas for conflict with Catori/Ivan/Cornaith and possibly Cyrus in mind so far, but i'd be open to more if I did bring her in.

I also really like the ideas of the apprentices having to swoop in fully shifted to save the day at the end of the trials.

She'd be known to the clan if not still considered part of it, even being a warrior if that works. But her thing is since she completed her trials she's taken to leaving the clan for months at a time, travelling solo, as a way to cope. Leaving without warning, but always coming back.

The idea of Ivan/younger members not knowing who she is would be so interesting but I don't think it would work with Baiyen's age & his training with her unfortunately

Tene and I really like the idea of where the apprentices are in the trials having an effect on the clan!

We would like to hold off on adding NPC's (both enemies and clan members) for now as we were sent another idea that will slowly be introduced ^^. We will touch on this soon!!!!

With that said, we may need 1-2 more gatherers if anyone is open to possibly taking on another character! No worries if not, that just means the Warriors will have to help out with hunting!

Sent you a PM Urux ^^

With that character idea, HH suggested she could be a gatherer. I had her in mind as a warrior so perhaps due to her absences she was 'demoted' to gatherer as that's an easier role to dip in and out of? (Although it's not really a demotion, but I think some would think that, including her.) From there she can cause some tension >:) I'm curious what this other mystery idea is though.

Also I wanted to ask are there NPCs in the clan or is the general assumption that the RP characters are the sole members?

Looking forward to it! My posts will be delayed until late Thursday night. I have three more night shifts to grind out and then I am free to start posting replies.
