((OOC
Just a few thoughts I've had as this PC has entered the world. Want to get them down on paper, so to speak, to help me stay focused going forward.
The Dragon's Whisper Newsletter
I've had this in mind for some time. A PC on another persistent world did this with great success, I just hope I can get close. Although the forums are full of IC information there are many things that we are encouraged to "ask ingame." This is my solution to that: Information will be both gotten and shared ICly through this newsletter.
More importantly for my PC, though, is that he will be using this newsletter as a means of contacting other brownies. In each paper he will put a bit of text I get through the brownie language ear ingame. I'll translate it OOCly in the forums since it would be difficult (or impossible?) to translate ICly. Of course the ingame versions will be traslatable through the parchment object editing system (thanks orth and onest8!!).
Brownie Homeland
This introduces what I hope will be the "epic" quest for this PC. The description of Brownies says they were displaced from their island in the Serpent Isles. Hopefully Bumblebee can find out more about this event and perhaps be part of organizing the future for this race. He is RPing that he was raised in Pranzis and his parents do not speak of the events that drove them from the lands. This works well as I do not know OOCly what happened.
Shadow Dancer
Bumblebee constantly moves about in stealth mode. This is obvioiusly a live-preserving technique as he has some 23hp at the moment. It also fits well with the Brownies being somewhat reclusive and not wishing to draw attention to themselves. I RP him as hiding near the hlint benches, or evesdropping by the campfire, or simply following some adventurers as they head out. I also emote often how he is moving quietly, or from shadow to shadow. I've especially enjoyed the *poise* emote to put him into a crouching position (a big thanks to orth!). I'll grab some screenies of his evesdropping, perhaps with a cat in the foreground. Priceless!
He has met a shadow dancer PC as well as another rogue so he has some rolemodels to work off of.
CNR
Not sure which CNR he will do. I find it more enjoyable to wait to start CNR until a higher level simply because gold and gathering resources is less of an issue. Poison would be OOCly interesting, as would alchemy. Making arrows would be useful but he can neither chop wood nor mine so that seems unlikely. Time will tell here.
House
The description for brownies seems to indicate that they will adopt a household to assist. I am hoping that someday Bumblebee will find a player-owned house where he can RP that. Perhaps leaving eggs in exchange for something else. Just something I'm keeping my eyes open for.
