Mostly I'm hoping to get everyone thinking about how their characters would interact with a little more depth than "we work together so we have to be nice."

Fair enough, I edited my original post a little bit to try and imagine how Shrill Louse might feel about other adventurers.

@Briar: Oh wow! Petra's actually a sort of normal-ish person. I suppose that makes her kind of unique, in this group. What do you think as for a connection between our characters that we had a one-night-stand, but it's been really awkward ever since? Or if you don't like that idea, then maybe it's just that Tia made an embarrassing pass at Petra soon after they met.

@Demonslayer: Kordrakk looks to be an interesting person, Ed would certainly like to talk to you more often. It's not everyday a person gets to converse with a duergar, especially one that decided to abandon his people's ancient teachings. Eve will just keep goading you to reveal your true feelings, this is mostly for her own amusement.

@Briar: Hey, hey, just so you know, Eve will immediately try to make a pass on Petra, doing a lot of romantic gestures that probably would go over her head. Though, Ed would probably reign in on his sister, mostly cause he has a school girl type of crush on Petra but is too afraid to advance unlike his other half.

[Runetide]

Just in case it comes up, if Komak gives Petra a shiny rock, he is most certainly NOT making a pass at her. :P He's just a friendly lil' guy who probably will overshare at some point.

(Just thought since there were two mentions of advances being made)

...what the heck is happening right now? xD

@Girlplay: I don't have a problem with the former, though I feel like it would be a bit more beneficial if it were something that happened a while ago and the two just haven't spoken to or seen each other since. Just, y'know, to make it all the more awkward. I do love my drama (as several people here can attest). I think Petra would be a very modest person and normally wouldn't be one for a one-night stand (and she would probably refuse if Tia told her that's all it was), but at the same time, I can also see her giving in to a moment of desperation knowing that Tia actually wants her. But I'm also fine with the latter, too, if that's your preference!

@Onward: Sure, that seems fine. I feel like most attempts at flirting are going to either go straight over Petra's head or she'll just blush bright red and turn into a quivering mess of uncertainty. Given the chuckle this all gave me, I might actually make this a bit of a running joke that despite Petra's malign aura, she gets flirted with a lot xP Should be good times, though, for sure!

@Runetide: Haha, sure thing. Most likely Petra isn't going to presume such an act is flirting either. It usually has to be a bit more...blatant for her to understand~

@Briar well well well... Someone certainly is the bell of the ball

Oh my, so many ships, so little time ♪

I havnt looked through the other apps yet, but what Chupacabra is looking for is a teacher. Someone of reffinment to act as a role model, to take him from feral creature to lord of the manor.
"No Chupra. The soup spoon is for soup, not gouging eyes" kinda thing.

[Onward]

@Azure Nokori: If you want, Ed could be your teacher. His still just a Wizard College student, but if it's just trying to make you a civilized bugbear, he can certainly do that as he finds it interesting. Though maybe a character of a more noble background might fit with what your looking for.

@Morgantha - I have updated Hammers character a little

@Girlplay - for a hook Im thinking Hammer may have come to Tia for supplies, and with her curious nature and Hammer being currently "wired" a bit differently, I thought her curiosity might be peaked.

@Jennifer Hammer spends a lot of time in taverns, both drinking and searching for leads. Maybe Mayve tried to rob him once, but he let her go (see below why)

@Beast and Treble83 Hammer doesn't like dragons of any kind. He is both afraid of them and does not like their power and is therefore prejudice towards them. Could make for interesting interactions

@Alemar Hammer will not like Alestair because of his noble status. Due to his backstory, Hammer disregards all nobility and thinks they are all poison to common folk

@Demonslayer Does Hammer have a Demon in him? Hint Hint...

@Homestarbaby Hammer will fear Vesper for her magic - he does not trust it and blames that and the arrogance of nobility on his sisters downfall. However, being a young female of roughly his sisters age, he would struggle with his feelings towards you (protective, not romantic)

@Gelatinousbooze Hammer will not respect Shrill at all, because...well hes a goblin! This could make for some interesting interactions however, and who knows, they might even grow on each other!

@Everyone Due to what happened to Hammers sister, he will feel very protective of the ladies of the group - not because he wants to romance them but because he has grown up with some traditional morals, and when his sister was taken advantage of, he vowed to himself that he would free her and do his utmost to prevent any other females to be exploited. As for the blokes, hell, they can sort themselves out

I think that can work.
Ed's a wizard, so he'll have a book. Book = smart. Student = learning. Learning = smart.
Simple bugbear logic.

My app is done now. Here's the link so no-one needs search. LINK

So, if I'm hearing you correctly... you've applied to a team based game with an openly racist, philogynist character. Who holds all noble person's births against them (does this include NPCs for diplomacy in the game?) and have outwardly stated Hammer would have problems with at least 6 of the other applicants if they were selected? OK duly noted... Lets see how this plays out
