Hi Naih'ir! I'm not entirely sure how well our characters will get along, but I'm more than willing to RP with you!
To be honest I haven't found much in the way of plots going on, either. It has gone to simply logging in and having Val interact with others. Most plot-based RP, from what I've seen, has been kept within their respective linkshells and aren't open to the public. I understand this, but as you said, it seems incredibly closed off and I feel it's hurting the community in the long run. Why? Because people won't stick around if they can't find people to RP with. The less people play, the less chances there will be for thrilling and entertaining plots to exist between groups.
Val was never meant to be the head of plots. I've said it before, but I've built him so that he can be, more or less, involved in any plot he's wanted/needed in. He's a mercenary and, quite honestly, a bottle of wine or a meal is as good of payment to him as gil--assuming the job warrants such. Since he's a mercenary, he can more or less be involved anywhere that someone is willing to have him.
..And yet, I've still had issues finding people that are in plots that are willing to allow others.Â
As far as your plots go:

As far as your plots go:
- I'd love to do IC dungeon runs, but with the timer I feel incredibly restricted by it.
- Pay Val enough and he'd gladly go after some thieves =)
- Sadly, Val doesn't much do research and he isn't incredibly intelligent. He can go find things and protect someone doing the research, but as far as making assumptions himself--well. It just isn't in him!
