If said characters have a Wiki link I linked it on their first mention.
Loki:
LS Members:
As a PC/NPC character in charge of getting people into the CB storyline she met a few people and already knew of others canoncly. Fillion Fenias is a fellow PC/NPC character who she does not like and they don't get along, Katara Tyme is Fillion's new charity case (Who Loki calls his new "toy) who they met accidentally while in Aleport. She already new of Stanzie Rhys, a Scribe in the Crimson Blades, and they met for a meeting about the sudden influx of new members, along with Kudrin Colars, someone she didn't know but had been in the CB for awhile. Katara Tyme interupted said meeting and Fillion thought she was a treat and gave her a ring, which is against the rules so Loki yelled. Fillion was never much for rules anyway.
Which he proved when he sent out an open invite of Blades to a party without telling them they were all Blades. There Loki met Kuromori Fujihara, Shamade Conde,Nedral Crenl, and others she'd already met before. She realized what Fill was doing and yelled at him, stating that he needed to stop being an ass... he will never listen
Later, she met Lloire Peace and Verek Sederai at Aleport while waiting for Ellion Direfrost and had to inform them (along with Katara) exactly what the Crimson Blades was.
Non-LS:
I haven't met many people from outside the LS, but during Fillion's party Loki walked in on a Spectral Wardens meeting at the Amphitheater and assumed it was some kind of play. A terrible, terrible play... and also heard something about Bacon Rum. Later on, when she was informed it wasn't a play and went to the party, she said they had Bacon Rum down there and Katara ran to get some. Turns out Tyriont Gaidal had Bacon Rum on his person, a sort of experiment in Rum. Loki had knew of him by name, being a pirate herself, but had never met the guy. She also met Reniase, who explained a bit about the Spectral Warden and a lot of Spectral Warden members, though she didn't speak to them personally.
Specific Questions:
~ I don't think any friendship were started during any of these meetings, they were really just introductions. Introductions are the worst part of any RP, I hate doing them. They're always forced and somewhat unnatural, but really the only way to get your character to meet people at the beginning of a game. She doesn't really like Katara much, finds her annoying and just tagging along with Fillion. Fillion is annoying to her. she has no opinion on anyone else.
~ Her growth is what I thought it would be, introductions are hard. I do have to say I'm used to Aion, where there was one major city so it was really easy to find RP. I don't know of any RP hubs or even if there are some. Maybe LS's are just sticking to themselves at this point? Unsure.
~ Character growth? So far it's just trying to get her acclimated to her surroundings, so no big revelations yet.
As for the others, since Loki is the one who gets everyone involved in the CB story, I haven't been able to RP the other 3. That will come later though, I'm sure.
In short: I hate the first couple weeks of RP, introductions and getting people involved and getting used to your character is all the worst part
