I only took a brief cursory glance at the two new cs's. I have to admit, I'm somewhat surprised there's virtually no hard fantasy submission yet. It's not a problem, it just wasn't the vibe I expected.

Yeah, since the RP is centered around the Inn rather than any specific plot right now, I wanted to make a flexible character that isn't specifically focused on combat or magic or any particular act. I tried to do something that fit in with the wackiness of a multiverse rest stop, something from outside the scope of what I usually write heheI only took a brief cursory glance at the two new cs's.

That's fine by me if there's no Discord. I agree that many RP discords devolve into friendship first, RP second, I just find it a bit alienating and restrictive to only have conversations on a reply-by-reply basis OOC. But it won't be an issue, I don't think.
Basically everything you laid out so far is good. Like im pretty easy going so I can go with the flow. Erybody put up solid apps so all goods with the roster1. What are your expectations for an RP? (for this game or in general)
Soooo like when you said the goofy was gunna get like Adventure time levels in my head I instantly went to a mashup between like Guardians of the Galaxy, Narnia and for some reason Neverland. Basically like get in a flying pirate ship, fly through a mirror teleportal, and jump from weird land to wacky land?2. What are you hoping to see in the near future for this game? What type of story or plot comes to mind, essentially.
Well my charrie is a sweetheart raised in a matriarchal space warrior people's. She kinda dumb too so like I was just gunna fool around and have her go fish outta water in a society and etiquette that is literally alien to her. I mean like c'mon now she is a giant space orc that loves to wear pink and is called 'Sugar' lol. But her main drive to is to go back home to find her sister, the only known (allegedly) surviving family member other than she herself.3. How would you like or at least how do you imagine this group of characters being pulled together in a believable way for some reason?
I prefer plot one tbh. Hmmm although plot 2 does trim a lot of fat buuuuut idk I like 1 better lolBONUS: Would you rather the first post be a scene-setting post for you to plop your characters into or for me to paint them into a scene organically?
Wanted to single out these lines to say that, I concur! Warhammer is.. insane, both subjectively and objectively- and the absurdity of some situations could actually make for an intricate subplot if done well. Could it be done? Sure. Should it? Probably not. At least, not for the scope of focus like this Inn setting- until that dimensional travel threshold is crossed to another plane however temporarily.Let me walk you through the annals of my mind and inspiration. When I'm thinking of a serious-but-not-serious story that doesn't take itself seriously but still have tense moments, I'm thinking of Samurai Jack, Owl House, maybe even some Gravity Falls. Warhammer 40K is considered a syfy universe cranked up to eleven where the themes go so hard they're basically satire. Given we're not bound to any one theme or power system, I can let us explore whatever I/we feel like and we can make temporary changes that *poof* go away if we end up not liking them. Character changes and growth that are permanent will be the ones we like.
In any case, I think slightly smaller, more focused stories will give a better chance to tailor them to the characters. Any one can save the world with enough plot armor.
So, yeah, I do think we'll need to build in some focus for the group, but I want to avoid that focus growing into the standard "save the world" trope. I think there are still a million good ideas we can pull from that.
