Sign Up/Discussion Luminous: An RP With A Convoluted DM-Ran Magic System

@WavePearl @122 Generation @SAF @Jupjami @ID Zeta
I'll need y'alls opinions on a possible content change for Luminous.

At the moment, I have planned two quests before a third "main story" one. Both quests would build towards a specific pair of subplots in this run, both the major one (that is main story relevant to some amount), and one minor one. The first quest (minor) is flexible but will always contain a combat, whilst the second one (major) is more of a dungeon crawl/stealth mission.

However, in the other run of Luminous, I ended up cutting one quest to get to the action a bit faster. I did like that change, plus given the play-by-post nature here, it would definitely let me get to the big moments I'm hoping for sooner. In this run, I'll most likely be cutting the flexible one, due to the dungeon crawl's relevance, and the combat from 1 will be moved to the end of the dungeon crawl.

Cutting quest 1 would most affect Kanaru, but that's only by my own prediction, as I'm currently imagining this character to be a rival/parallel to her in some ways - which could change. Wave, even if the two quests are condensed into one, I can still guarantee Kanaru will get a good amount of interaction in with this mystery character when they appear.

So, uh, y'alls opinions? Two quests (longer, more build up of the Character and their subplot) or one (shorter, gets to the main story faster, we might actually get to my big plot point by the end of 2024)?

(Sorry I only just posted this. Was halfway through drafting up next post, and then realized I might need to ask this first haha)

 

Heya, ID!

So at the mo, I think it's safe to say we're going with the shortening. I can work with that. Ando's going to get cued pretty quick soon in-character, you'll know when it happens.

For now consider it free posting for a bit, but I'll reserve a post for ID when the cue comes. Sounds good?

 

@122 Generation

Well, then I guess SAF's opinion is the common one. I'm good with that. Jup's outvoted if he goes the other direction anyway, so.

 

(Please keep OOC questions to the OOC thread. You can edit the IC post.)

Rather than a board, all commission papers are enchanted to float along a wall, upon which there are hundreds constantly hovering alongside it. All papers are generally separated by difficulty level and pay. There's always at least one person in charge of just sorting through all of the papers.

Cira's commission is on the furthest side, where the most dangerous - and most rewarding commissions are. She has labelled it as something along the lines of "help me uproot this one tree in a forest lmao" for secrecy, as well as signed "C" alone.
It is, however, personalized and labelled with the party's names, which she has on record not only via signature but also via her mind-peeking abilities (as a refresher, there are at least two hundred people in the Guild, she's not gonna memorize everyone).

 

@Jupjami
The scene I have planned will only take place on the first day. Unless you want to play out the other two days, originally both parts are planned to go under a timeskip, but I'm open to making either of them a new scene of their own.

 

Well, looks like Robin's voted library. @WavePearl and @ID Zeta , your characters might need to outvote them if you don't want to head for it, unless they're fine with going along like - @SAF - Elio is.
I will confirm your characters will get the whole day to work in the library, so Elio's pace shouldn't be a problem. Main part is that I need y'all to get there so you can meet someone Very Important

 

Well, that looks like confirmation. If nobody else wants to post, I'll send you guys to the library next post.
