RP PPA Plot Planning

[Fafmimbaki]

Okay! Here we go... this is so that the RP thread gets a whole lot less cluttered! To get things started here, I will re-say what my last post in the RP

OOC) Okay, just to recap and organize:
Okami has been kidnapped by her sister and is about to head off on a mysterious quest probably linked to the quest in the next "bullet." I'm not sure about how much time has passed in her segment of the story.
Everyone else is about to also head off on a mysterious quest that will last a while, a good time for some character development.
We have discovered that Kiri has to face the Black Man... he is her father's shadow-half in a way and she is the heir to his powers and it could either make or break her.
Llatahtsi is portraying Jaid as a knight, whether or not he ends up that way is to be seen.
Achan is on the prowl to snatch Kiri and make her suitable for following the Black Man's path of shadowy evil... whether or not he suceeds is also yet to be seen. He is currently about a day and a half's travel away from the elven capital, so they should run into him on the evening of their 2nd day travelling. Right now their on their first.
Lord Gwyddian will probably be training Kiri during this quest in the ways of magic, Llatahtsi will be training Jaid to be a knight.
The elves are in-league with the Black Man in hopes of defeating the Shadow Oni... more has yet to be discovered about the Shadow Oni.
What part Rain plays in this is yet to be discovered... maybe she'll just be a historian and observer, or maybe she'll find a bigger role.
Llatahtsi and Loorga are married, fulfilling a prophecy which will have to do with later stories, (yes, I already have ideas for stories after this one! We could totally make a sweetly-awesome series!) and will lead to trouble later on in this story... (what will we do with the eggs?)

Maybe we should also develop characters a little bit, especially for the ones that don't do a lot of their own RPing, like Rain.

Here's Achan:
Half-human, half-snake creature, (human torso, snake body). He can shift into three phases: snake, human, and naga. He has black hair and acid green eyes, so when in snake form he is black with the same color of eyes. He is venemous, so he has slited pupil like venemous snakes do in all of his forms. His human skin is very white, so his belly scales are white also. His human face is fairly normal, but has a strong resemblance to a snake. Naga is his favored form.
Achan is only bad because centuries ago he sold his soul to the Black Man to save his people and his sister. Her name was also Awena, and she has eyes like Kiri's. He does what the Black Man wants becasue the Black Man owns his soul and renamed him. I'm hoping Kiri will be willing to claim his soul (since it also belongs to her as the Black Man's heir... that fact established a few pages back... like 10?) and rename him again, allowing him more freedom than he has under the Black Man. I have the part where she renames him all written out (that's the 4 page post), but if Frodo doesn't approve then I won't do it. I hope that wasn't too much spilling...
But until Kiri renames Achan he will be trying to sway her towards dark ways, trying to subvert her friends, and make her more suseptable to the Black Man. Frodo knows Kiri better, so she will probably have to write a lot of Achan's interactions with Kiri since she knows what would work to sway Kiri. Whether or not Kiri sways, or how much, is up to Frodo... but I hope she doesn't sway too much...

The Black Man: (quoting FRODO)
He is a mirror of her father. Kiri's dad is along the same blood line as Gwyddian is, but she obviously doesn't know that. Her father is dead, but the shadow lives on, wreaking havoc. Kind of symbolic of a haunting past...? I'm not sure if it'll work, but I thought it would make for an emotionally charged scene where Kiri has to decide if its her real father or not. But that's basically my orginal idea.
Kiri's Uncle has set up a deminsion for the Onis and Elves to live in (where they are all now at the palace thing). He did not mean for them to war...but they do. becuase of the negative energy, a shadow realm was created. Here, dark elves and the ghostees (from earlier posts - the spirits in the wind, if you recall) reside, along with the dark version of her father, which is actually just a particularly powerful ghostee (what are they really called? We had a name for them at one point....looks like I get to do more research) but she doesn't realize that.

at one point faf was asking if the ghost/shadows/phantoms had a name. i called them "shades". the name (in case someone doesn't know) is from greek mythology. Shades are in hades and are spirts of the dead.
