It's good to see a old hand on deck
let's do that suggestion for inactive players.If finalized, I'll go ahead n add it to the front page so everyone knows.
As for the pages getting too long and all, perhaps we can add a page summary to summarize what has been going on so far. Just a view of the summary and you'll be good to go.[/quote]
Sounds great, yeah; you should add it to the front.
And as for the page summary... I feel like that would be an unnecessary amount of extra work, especially considering that subbing a new roleplayer in would be difficult. Not only would we need to find a new person in the event someone goes AWOL, but there's also the question of if the inactive person returns... do they get booted out of the roleplay? Does the new person have to return the characters?
Personally, I feel it would be much less complicated to just split the characters up. There's... what, five of us, I think?
And we are all only playing 3 characters. I don't think it'd be too much for people to play 1 extra character in the case of someone disappearing.

Unlike novel writing, RP is always different. In novel writing, you get to choose predictability & where the characters go because you know your own world. You are the sole director. In an RP, everyone's a director, that's the difference.
Predictability = Easier to write, everything is set. Less Room for creativity.
Non Predictability= More Creativity & you get that 'mysterious' feel. But harder to write.
I agree on the time frame period discussion through. Probably the RP ends when the big bad has been defeated & everyone goes their own ways, waiting for another adventure again. (Not everyone but you get the idea
)
I would like to discuss everyone's character relationship to each other before we start through. Maybe that would make it easier to write?
E.g, Idir hates Kion, likes Zuri, have dealings with Zira & neutral to everyone else.
If not, that's okay I think...[/quote]
Agreed on that. Novel writing is different. So I think if we just go in the middle, have some things plotted out and some things open for improvisation, we should be okay.
And that might be a good place to start. We can say briefly how we plan on playing our characters and who we think they would get along with.
Bunga obviously would get along with Kion, and I guess Kiara (?). Not sure - I haven't watched the new TLG episodes yet. He would dislike any hyenas and I think he would be very suspicious of Kovu (similar to how Timon was in TLK II). Same with Vitani. I think he would be very concerned for Kopa's safety and would do whatever necessary to help Kion find his brother again.
I don't know anything about Beshte yet, but I'm assuming he would tag along with the Lion Guard and be of service when necessary. From what little I've seen of him, he strikes me as someone who's pretty quiet, but strong... probably good for advice.
Kiara would have some friction with her brother Kion but she would tag along simply because she wants to go on an adventure and this strikes her as the perfect opportunity to do so without having her father/family all over her. She's obviously very worried about Kopa and I could see her eventually getting along with Vitani (after a few initial misunderstandings). Tiifu and Zuri are her friends and she seems quite close to them.
Think that sums it up for my characters for right now. If anyone wants to add onto that, that's fine. ^^
EDIT: I was ninja'd but I agree with Julie's observation of Zira. After what happened with Scar and the way the hyenas failed to protect him/ran away after the fire/etc., I would think that she would really hate hyena-kind in general, regardless of who they were, in much the same way that she hates all Pridelanders regardless of who they are.
