I did not expect suddenly tons of response! ( also hello! )
I'll try to start with specifics here, before I hit Post without ever actually saying anything-
Arblis' main jobs (general adventuring, and being responsible for the safety and well-being of quite a few people) often require things beyond her abilities. And so she very frequently goes around keeping an eye out for:
- Unusual items for the element of surprise. (Because alchemic nonsense doesn't always cut it)
- Makeshift and nonlethal weaponry. (People are hard to talk down while actively trying to kill you. It's weird!)
- Investigation and tracking tools. (Number of successful missions to find a person who doesn't want to be found: 0. Number of other people's tracking missions utterly borked: At least 3.)
For other RP that isn't just the exchange of items, a lot of it comes down to "I enjoy technobabble and making up plausible and interesting things that could be in the world." Some of the things I'd love to do include:
- Silly tinkering with protective wards and alarm systems, and technobabbling together about how they work
- OOC making ancient puzzles
- "Liberating" poor neglected artifacts.
And lastly but probably the biggest one- Exploring "useless" items. Helping people escape from 'cursed' or 'useless' or 'just plain annoying' items, and seeing those things for the beautiful special little crafted children that they are.
And I'm sure I forgot to list some ideas!
