OOC: Character Connections
Looks like I'm starting here. So the suggested things for Rides the Lightning connections are:
1 - We've been friends a long time, and Kase can take them along when using Bolt Rider of Electrical Flight
2 - Kade knows an important connection between two other PCs that they don't know yet.
3 - Another member of the group has interesting ideas about electricity, and we can work together to do things that don't actually matter because Kase doesn't know how to work on machines lol.
4 - Another PC has terrible luck with electrical devices. Kase would like to help somehow, but doesn't know where to start or if it would be welcomed.
Obviously, 3 doesn't really work, and 4 is dicey, because Kase doesn't really know much about machines and devices, she believes she has magical powers granted by the spirit of the sea. In her mind, she's an avatar of the storm, not an electric cyborg. 1 could be fun. If someone else is from the Sea Kingdom and they served together in the fleet, that would be easiest, but that's hardly carved in stone. 2 is also fun, but probably harder to coordinate, even if it would make for potentially awesome story down the road.
The Passionate Descriptor has some fun in it, too, for how she might have wound up in the group (aside from just being part of the same organization). Suggested ones are:
1 - Kase is madly in love with one of the other PCs and will do basically anything for them, including joining up with this lot and wandering way out here on this gig.
2 - Kase heard about the job, decided to get involved, and basically forced herself into it.
3 - Brought in by a respected superior (probably the default answer, honestly).
4 - Kase is looking for a worthy cause and decided this would do.
4 is basically 2, but the rest of the group is more ok with it. 1 is all kinds of drama waiting to happen, but has a lot of potential for going badly.
Obviously, nothing says we have to use the book ones, but it seems a decent place to start, throwing things out and seeing if anyone is interested.
