UPDATE: The first post on this thread has been updated with more information, a complete list of participants, and an FAQ.
Additionally, to help give everyone an excuse to RP with one another, your gemstone will now pulse, hum, spark, or do any other strange and unusual reaction (feel free to be zany and creative!) when close to another person carrying a gemstone. It doesn't happen every single time - thus if you RP constantly with someone who also carries a gemstone, you can tailor when it happens so it does not disrupt other RP - but occurs at random without any real indicator of what triggers it.
If two gem-holders draw too close when their gems are reacting, each of them will experience a sudden echo of memory and emotion from the other person that is related to their 'Defining Aspect' (the one I asked you to give me ages ago that is central to your character.)
For Example: Let's say that Tiergan and Leilani are gem-holders and Tiergan's defining aspect was "Rage" while Leilani's was "Joy".
When they encounter each other and draw too close, Tiergan would be hit by a vision of memory/emotions from Leilani that exemplifies Joy ...while Leilani would be hit by a vision of memory/emotions that exemplify Tiergan's Rage.
Feel free to peek down at the complete list of participants on the first post. If you see someone you've always wanted to RP with, feel free to give them a poke and ASK them if it would be alright to engage them in RP. If they say yes, awesome! Meet up in-game and have fun with the world's quirkiest ice-breaker in the form of memory-sharing rubies.
Please keep in mind that many of these people may be busy, have obligations that prevent them from RPing with every single person, or otherwise may not be able to RP with you. If someone declines or is otherwise unable to RP with you and you act like a twat about it, I will immediately eject you from the story.
If you are particularly shy or just need a little help getting going, you can message me and I will stick you on a special list where I eventually assign you a buddy that you can hunt down and RP with.
If you're super outgoing and never have problems getting RP, but you would like to help shy folks RP, you can also let me know and I will add you onto the list as a helper of shy folk.
