OOC INTRO & PLOTTING

Hello and welcome to Children of Bahamut!

This OOC post will be for all your introductory plotting needs! While there will be plotting posts for events once they officially start in November and on, we wanted to give everyone a space to outline their initial thoughts and plans to get started strong.

You can use the form below! If you play more than one character, you're free to make a top-level for just your relevant player information and comment beneath with each respective character.

As a few quick notes:

⁂ The Town Town Hall Meeting is up and serves as a game opening mingle! Our first real, proper event will be November 1st.
⁂ While a month might seem like a long time, we want to encourage people to use the the quest board to get themselves established in the community and building reputation if they want something to do!
⁂ Character claims are always open until we hit the player cap! So, please keep checking back on this post for new players or characters that might be added to ensure everyone receives a warm welcome!

Most of all, we want people to have fun and let us know if your character gets up to anything good, bad, or whatever! All of it will influence the world around them and potentially have benefits or consequences.

I've only recently developed an interest in Guild Wars 2, thanks to a few friends. I'm still not sure what the story is about, especially since I'm only getting started, but I'm looking forward to playing Regis alongside Gethen.

I just hope Gethen does not mind meeting an elderly former king. Regis eventually becomes a "black mage" or sorcerer in this world due to his affinity for magic.

So maybe these two could assist each other on a few hunts?

Oh, excellent!! If you ever need/want another buddy ingame you can always give me a shout, I have severe alt-itis and revisit early game pretty often, hahah. Geth does also have an opt-out post if you would like to dodge spoilers ♡ I'm not super familiar with XV myself yet but have been meaning to take the plunge when I have the time, so right back atcha ^^

Geth doesn't mind royalty! The Legions don't really have any in his time, and he does know from experience that royals are definitely not all cut from the same (irritating) cloth. Regis's status would probably draw him in once he knows about it, at least while he's still trying to gauge who all around here he should be prioritizing diplomacy with. ;D

And he is also a caster himself as a druid! He only (semi) recently started training that and is still very much learning to wrap his head around casting more traditional spells in general. They could definitely do some hunting together if you're up for that, but Geth could also hit up Regis for some arcane study, too, especially once dragon changes start really hitting.

Do you have any plans for the welcome log right now? I'd be down to get them started there if you like, or we could buddy up for some questing-

[lucere]

I will keep you mind! My Sylvari is a ranger, and I did level skip him to 80 for the sake of the guild wars content. I just haven't played in a few weeks.

I'll take a look at your opt-out post in a bit, but honestly, I don't mind spoilers! I am decades late to this game, after all. Therefore, spoilers are completely fine for me.

Regis isn't likely to introduce himself as a royal outside of the townhall meeting with Charlie. In his opinion, Regis isn't a king anymore but his dragon, Svern, is most certainly a former diplomat. Regis can never escape politics but once his knee is all healed up, he's going to start exploring.

Arcane study! Regis is going to have his nose in the books, almost literally. He's an avid reader and a long time magic practitioner. Regis won't leave not one stone uncovered in his quest for arcane mastery. So, Geth has a good potential mentor.

I was thinking of top-leveling for Regis, especially since not too many people tagged into the welcome log. Granted, many of us are still finishing threads in the TDM. However, I will make a top-level there for all those interested.

I'm also willing to tag you if you decide to top-level for Geth.

Sounds good on both counts! No pressure on the gaming front ofc, but if you do want to get in touch feel free to send Geth some ingame mail and/or drop me a line on discord. ^^

I'm super here for them to be study buddies, yeah - Geth has a lot to learn and has a bit of a weird angle on casting in general as a druid, but Othokent was a very avid reader. Even if he's not rushing to do a lot of book learning and arcane experimentation now, he most definitely will be as changes and personality shifts start to really kick in. Getting to know how magic works here is going to be high on is priority list in the meantime too, though, just so he has a better idea of what to expect and ways to engage. I get the feeling they might get to commiserate on the diplomacy thing once they've had some time to settle in and warm up.

I'd be happy to tag in if you run a TL, but I am also planning to post one for Gethen once I'm a bit more energized! I was going to hit that today actually, but got a little sidetracked with a different RP, lol.
