Out of Character Thread for OOC Conversation

Hello everyone, we have four players for the pack. Please introduce yourselves and talk about the narrative elements you're interested in as I'll work to weave these into the narrative.

Everyone's onboard with the 90 day irl length of the game. I won't start that clock until we actually open the first scene after characters are created.

As I said in the character gen post, I love everyone's character concepts so please keep them.

Just adjust them such that you'd be students, even part time students at Tulane and living in New Orleans at this point in your lives.

I'll wrap up character creation next week and we'll probably get started the Monday after next, 03/20

Hey, all. :) I play an Ithaeur Bone Shadow who's a big ghost lore nerd.

Hello. I also wished to play an Ithaeur Bone Shadow but with a big focus on spirits.

I imagined my character as the smart guy and the investigator of the pack who use wits and misderiction in combat instead of brut force.

We can make it work I think, bu if our two characters overlaps too much I will change my character.

Hello and welcome, all. I'm running James, an Irraka of the Iron Masters, and feeling very spiritually safe right now. XD

I imagine James'd be majoring, appropriately enough, in anthropology...of course, not for the usual reasons, and with side courses across chemistry and mechanical engineering that would probably look like a very odd spread to people who have never considered "hunting humans" as a holistic profession.

G'day everyone!  I'm super excited to be here.

I'll be playing Tori, a street rat trying to make something out of herself.  She's an Irraka of the Blood Talons.

Tori's probably not as on board with the chosen prey of the Suthar Anzuth as they'd like, but she definitely falls into line with the tribal Oath, which is ultimately why I went that route.

Narrative elements I'd like to see?  We're in New Orleans; I think it's be crazy to ignore the rich Louisiana Voodoo -- the loa and the veve, and associated spiritual lore.  I've only been to NO once -- rebuilding houses after Hurricane Andrew struck in 1992, so I didn't get to experience much of the city life then.  I did watch all of Marvel's Cloak and Dagger very recently, so that's my most recent frame of reference.

I love games where the pack leans on each other, and draws strength from each other -- not just in combat, but an emotional sense as well.

And we have a fifth and final pack member with Blake!

Hello everyone! Blood Talon Rahu here, but not a mindless murder hobo. Just a guy from a small town on an amateur wrestling scholarship majoring in Exercise Science. He loves a good challenge and making people smile. Kinda of a bro who knows the ins and outs of protein shakes and workout circuits. He is protective of his friends and is that guy who walks up behind the bullies and wraps his muscular arms around their shoulders and says, “Do we have a problem here fellas?”

Welcome, tribesmate!

Hey tribesmate! Blood Talon fist bump

With us being students at the university, does anyone have any opinions on a totem? Do we know what the school mascot is?

The mascot for Tulane university is Riptide the Pelican according to wikipedia.  That's an awesome name and conjures up some great imagery, but we shouldn't feel limited to that.

In reply to Lucie (msg # 4):

That doesn't sound too similar. :) I have some Investigation too, but otherwise my main skills are Stealth, Occult and Medicine. I also know Barghest (see and attack spirits in the Twilight) and Read the World's Loom (get psychic insights).
