Flashbacks and Character Maintenance

Postby Baelin Holt on July 30th, 2014, 5:49 am

Hi, I would like to start off Baelin with some flashback scenes first to give him some more depth. Since these scenes are taking place in Black Rock, is it appropriate for me to post them there? He's supposed to be currently in Syliras.

In his flashbacks I would like to give him friends. May I flesh these characters out, or should I keep them vague?

I noticed that characters start out with one week's worth of rations. Does food have to be bought after the first week of the character being created to maintain the character? Do purchases occur on any particular forum page or can it be put directly in the ledger from the price list?

I apologize if the answers to all of these questions are spelled out clearly elsewhere. Mizahar is rather huge and finding all the answers on my own has been tricky. Thank you for any assistance!

Might I ask why his family was at Blackrock at all? Blackrock is currently without a ST, so you may want to keep the detail about his ghost friends a bit lower on the descriptive scale.

I decided I wanted a character who was born and raised in Black Rock. If it's not appropriate to post flashback scenes from his time before Syliras then I can just write them for my own record and post them if/when a storyteller picks the forum up again. If possible, however, I would like to post them somewhere.

Hello!
Welcome to Mizahar!

Feel free to write up your character flashbacks and post them in Black Rock as soon and as often as you'd like! Just as Darkalin said, there is no ST taking care of the domain so you will be unable to get individualized attention. There is a lovely RS that will be able to help you out if you did want it. Thankfully one does not need a lot of Storyteller attention to do a flashback.

To get your flashbacks graded post to the regional grade request Here. :)
If you have an concerns, questions or problems please PM me right away. I am here to assist and can usually get a reply within a day or two if not sooner.
If you haven't gotten a response from me within five days, please PM me again!
