Wow! I did not expect so many people willing to help us! I was actually kind of wary when Mae suggested that we should make a thread to seek help on these boards >_< Glad it didn't turn ugly...!
For those that wonder how we do handle MSQ RP (and how we will handle the instance), here's a quick digest:
- OOC talk will be restricted inside party chat.
- IC talk will be restricted to our RP LS channel (if you want to RP with us or even just watch, we can give you a temporary invite, it's fine! Or we could make an exception and RP in /say, but only if no one of those that help will mind seeing MSQ RP)
- We will walk where walking is logical, and run when it is wise to do so, so we'll be going slow. We also ICly do not see the mini-map with that nice arrow that points at the right way, so at times we might take dead ends, but don't worry, we will make it out before we time-out.
- The pacekeeper (currently I occupy this role) will handle the NPCs talking, copy/pasting from the system chatlog and into the LS log for everyone to see (if there's stuff others can't see, like players who have already done the event), it is also my duty to modify the dialogues where necessary or to create whole new ones if people decide to address the NPCs. (for example, if you shout "Cid, look behind you!", it will be my task to type "Cid: Huh...? What? *Cid looks behind with a concerned frown*") I always do my best to keep NPCs as much loyal to the personalities the game gave them, rest assured of that... I have years long experience at that and I've never heard complaints.
I also happen to be the person that will be on a half-hiatus soon (tests begin next week, eep!), so that is why we are on a rush, since I am the one in charge of NPCs. I don't want to keep people hanging for me
....
There will be no restrictions to what people can do, and everyone should have their time to shine. We never step on each others' toes with Mary Sue moments or overpowering the scene (unless we're introducing a villain, cause villains should always "win" a bit at first. But that's not the current case), so whether you decide to RP a member of the Scions, a sellsword, or a member of the Immortal Flames, you'll always be an equal to us, no worries! And of course, if you don't feel like RPing with us, that's fine too.
We have yet to make our LS page on the RPC (we're going through some editing with our rules and procedures before we do that), so if anyone wants to take a glimpse at some screenshots of what we do, or of how we set up things, here's a link to our site:

Thanks again for the warm responses!

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
