Newbie's Questions about Serendib and plot.

[Doubar]

@sarah: This in the end is up to Nightingale. Even though I for one don't see a reason why we have to make her parents die at all. Serendib's an adult now and her wish to leave home and train her magic would just be too understandable. And it's an easier and more logical explanation too I think. *shrugs* But of course, having lost parents her in that earth-quake/whatever will make for a good reason to leave her homeland as well.

And about the reason why the island got destroyed: up to nightingale as well I would say.

And I like how the fact that magic is banished in Basra now matches OldSerendib´s secritiveness. That should work just nice.

Aya.

[Serendib]

No problem ok, i'll go for the magic restriction sounds good to me Meanwhile i'm re-watching the episode, so i can make a new avatar and signature and study the character better

[Serendib]

mmmhhhh i think we've got too many things cooking here XD
Let's make a bit of order, i went for the "destroyed island" because of the thread Doubar gave me, in wich OldSerendib, and other players decided for the option 2 Dermott proposed, I didn't want to change the already settled plan too much, that's why i sticked to it, if i could decide, i would go for "my parents still live on the island, my powers are growing strong and i'm able to keep the island alive even if i'm far away, that's why i got bored and start travelling the world on my own" but it's just an idea I have, again, i don't want to change the play too much, when you take a character who's already in the plot, you have to be careful, that's why i'm asking and annoying you with all those things

[Doubar]

*smiles* Actually all our possible solutions still focused on the island being destroyed since this was the point where we were heading off (like you said). We merely gave different possibilities about what could have caused that and what things did follow (e.g. with leaving her home to train her magic I was meaning that she left her parents after they had found a new home). However. I have to say since I have no more experience in rp-ing than what I have done here at this board, I think I'll leave an advice as to if you can change her bio for that fact or not, up to Sinbad.

*chuckles* In no way you are annoying us. And Serendib did not play much, so changing some things would not matter, I would think.

And what's option 2 Dermott gave?

So, are you going to write a bio in distandlands.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=intro , and we can approve it?

[Serendib]

You know, where i use to role-play "i'm the Plot Boss" and i approve characters and plot-line, that's why i kinda know what i'm talking about, as i have to fit in another player's shoes, i don't want to change what you had already decided because i know from first-hand experience that if just one little piece is moved everything can fall apart, especially when there are so many players
So the plot you had it's ok to me No problem at all

Oh yes, the great admin.

I see Serendib as close to her step parents, so it would be odd to leave them. After all, see chose to stay with them. Why leave them now? That is why I favor them dying.

[Serendib]

@sarah: option two said that the spell Rumina casted backfired on the isle that got destroyed and Serendib went to Basra with her parents.
Do I have to write another bio? there's altready one there *mumbles*

[Doubar]

@sarah: No,not the great admin. But the person who has experience in role-playing and is the only one who knows about all plots that are being planned on (except your and Scratch's current one I guess).

Serendib: You can either post an own one or tell us what you want to have changed. Sinbad, Eleana or I could adjust the already existing thread then (which means you wouldn't need to write an own one then).

[Guest]

Serendib: You don't have to write the whole bio, just the parts you want changed. I would post that in Serendib's bio distandlands.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=intro&action=display&thread=56&page=2 . Or you could make a new one that you have control over. Just copy most of it.

In the bio, you don't write so much about future events, but why she came to Basra, where is her step parents, why did she leave them, what is her quest, and what is her background (from the old bio amd show)?

[Serendib]

Ok then, i'll start writing something

[Sinbad]

I think there could either be small changes to the already existing bio or you write a new one, Nightingale. Since Serendib did not get into the plot as a character yet apart from interacting with Kriss, there should be little trouble caused by a few minor changes.
As an advice though, I would opt for the background being kept kind of simple in a way that we do not get into a situation where we would need Rumina´s approval for something, since her player is still recovering from an accident and it might be a bit until she shows up regularly again.

As for Serendib´s step parent´s dying... I honestly don´t really see the necessity in this drama. Just my opinion of course, but I think Serendib has good enough a reason to be in Basra without another stroke of fate being added to her biography. I´m not totally against that sort of thing, but I know the phenomenon that in rp-ing there tends to be an accumulation of tragic female figures at times and I would like to avoid that on here.

Because rp-ing is done mainly by girls, and girls love drama. ;D

But I don't see her leaving her step parents.to do what...... play and have fun. Maybe you, Nili, did, but I see that as rather.....selfish. No offense to you, Nili.
