Julien: He's sort of settled into the whole "I'm being a good Nine" thing now...but I'm pretty sure he's got plans percolating around in the back of his head about how to regain the rank he feels belongs to him. I don't know if that would involve outright direct plotting against either Clive or Ethan, but it's something to consider for sure. Definitely, I'd like to be able to do some kind of intrigue with him but I'd rather do it with PCs than making up NPCs for it. :)

Also, he has taken up training adult students that show promise or are going to go Outside and need some specialized skills. We could talk about that too, if you want.


Elani: Well, the party's over and she's back to just doing plain old Jack-things and helping Elisha with the Queen's duties.

Personally, would like to maybe see about some sort of negative CR for her to work through or learn to deal with since she generally gets along with most people.

If anybody has any ideas for things that can come up to test her abilities as Jack, I'd be game for doing that too as I'd like to give her something serious to work on and grow with.


Justin: Kind of at loose ends. In general, I like playing the mouthy bastard, but I'd like to actually give him something vaguely productive to do so he can actually become a member of society. If somebody wants a lackey to train up into acting like a real adult, it could be fun to play out how that works.

Heck, if somebody just wants to use him as an informant since most characters just write him off when he's lounging around making a nuisance of himself, we could work that out too. Or you know, if you want him to contribute to the delinquency of any minors.

I might also just straight up get him a job to do in Town. Just...there aren't too many business owners actually played by PCs for him to get hired by and again, I'd rather him be doing something like that with an actual character as opposed to an NPC.


Johnny: Itinerant musician, sometimes smarmy bastard, many times moocher of drinks. Uh, anyway.

I would like to see some of his past misdeeds come back and haunt him, like all the hearts he's supposedly broken. Or, for that matter, see him finally grow up a bit and try to settle down with one person for a while.

While I don't think he's ever going to stop being an itinerant musician...possibly he could take on a student or two? I think, while he did a reasonably good job with Cynric, if he had to try to teach music to someone who has no previous experience, it would be quite frustrating for him despite his own skill. It's one thing to understand it, after all, and quite another to get it across that someone else does. Might make for an interesting dynamic between him and the prospective student, anyway.

Just some babbling, if I think of anything else, I'll add another comment.
