Looking to hop in...

[KanokFelna]

So, anyone have any ideas where I can jump a young Na'vi into an existing thread?

I considered "Judgement" but that might seem a little much, a bit like ganging up on James, and the thread seems pretty much centered around that characters theme.

Not sure about any other at this point, and I don't want to bust a flow.

So, any ideas? I'm happy to wait if someone thinks an opening will be forthcoming, but there might a an interesting/dramatic moment happening currently (where an introduction might not work well).

There's a few open threads, but unfortunately a lot of them really are quite thematic at the moment.

Horus and I had some stuff planned for Can of Worms, though it's going to be heavily action-oriented. I can still see some fun possibilities if you'd like to include your character, though we'd probably want to check with Horus first. Anyway, if a thread involving getting chased by scary monsters with a couple of humans sounds interesting to you, let me know!

If you want something a bit more character establishing to jump into without all the running around, a new thread probably makes the most sense? One random possibility that comes to mind is having my character Atxkxell maybe end up being asked to teach your character more about hunting or something. Since your character isn't really into it and Atxkxell totally is, it could create an interesting dynamic.

I have an idea, how about he follow Ni'awtu (maybe without her permission, shadowing her) as she went to meet with Nia?

We need to have Ni'awtu and Nia meet - possibly about the fact that the Txampay'awkx have killed some colonists and Ni'awtu can ask about James (if there are any more to come and do this)...

What say you others? Get some plot rolling here?

Sounds like it could be fun to me.

The way I figure it, since this was only mentioned as background in my character, these events happened either a long time agoi, when there were still those remaining humans that lingered on Pandora after Jake sent the RDA packing, or (perhaps) early in the return of the humans to Pandora. So something like 3 or 5 years in the past (game time).

Also, these were two humans that wandered alone into Txampay'awkx territory... that's a long way from the colony. It don't matter why they did this; I guess one was unhappy with colony life and wanted to make his/her own life, maybe the other was a scientist on a foolishly informed long-range patrol. Regardless, both were attacked swiftly and would have had little time, or ability, to let anyone know what was happening. This was intentional when I wrote that part of his background, as I didn't want to imply there should have been an immediate reaction by any other group.

Also note that these were describe as being humans, not avatars, so its not like they would just log and start telling horror stories. These were humans, that took the fact of their death to the grave.

Point is that nobody should know about this but the Txampay'awkx. These were highly isolated incidents, days (at least) travel by Ikran from the colony, and happened over such a long span of time that the colony would more easily attribute the loss to any of a number of dangerous Pandoran life. Why pin it on a clan the colony has never had any contact with?

As this was only a part of a background story, to give an idea of how adamant a character is to the invasion of humans, I am highly hesitant to spin that into a story that is not integral to the Txampay'awkx itself.

Also is the fact that the character is a placeholder, there to serve a purpose until another player comes along to be the clan leader of the Txampay'awkx. I don't like the idea of running a "sins of the father" story when the source of the story can either be seen as forcing an issue... or (more likely) resolved in a way that diminishes the essence of my character.
