FRIENDS Alistair would always like to make new friends, though he is not always very good at it. He is more the type to have a few close friends rather than a bunch of acquaintances. He generally tries hard not to offend people, and thinks about what he says a lot. This means he is quiet most of the time. However, get him talking about something that he is interested in and he can be hard to shut up. He can be a bit hard to get to know, but hopefully is worth the effort.ENEMIES Alistair feels strongly about certain things, mainly expansion and how it should be done, and this can cause him to make enemies with people who think differently. He is very stubborn, and not one to back down from his opinions. He also tends to think himself smarter than others unless shown otherwise. This is somewhat less true for fellow researchers depending on their field. If you are his enemy, he will probably ignore you entirely unless you draw his attention in some way. He has never had a rival, but would rise to the challenge enthusiastically if someone thought they could challenge him at something he thinks himself good at.ROMANCE Alistair has never precisely been a hit with the ladies/dudes. When he is around someone that he has a crush on, he tends to get even more nervous and clam up. He isn't on the prowl for any romances at the time, but life can be unexpected.

Okay so I think these two are going to butt heads a lot- at the very least when they first get to know each other. He hates tradition and she lives her world through ancient traditions and rules. I dunno if they will ever actually work through their distaste but if they do I figure they'll be a pretty sick team.

Yeah, just took a look through your bio. Great conflict potential. Is your character heading to New Pallet? If so, they could perhaps meet on the road there and end up traveling together or something? Other way I could see would him be inquiring about what she was doing if she was collecting some kind of ingredient and then being dismissive, then her knowledge ends up being useful and he's all 'fine, I guess.'

Alistair&Lilith !!
So, I totally don't think these two would get along at all... and that excites me! Lilith's father died about a year prior to this current point and it's still a rather sore point for her. I've also left the exact reason for his death rather vague. Perhaps he died in an attempt to expand the cities or some sort of mission related to it, making it a rather unhappy topic for Lilith.
I'm thinking she can overhear Alistar talking (we can think of a setting?) and although she tries to ignore it, it really begins to hit home. Maybe they can get into a small argument when Lilith butts in and gives her two cents uninvited and they both walk off with a bad taste in their mouths? Could be a shorter thread, but Lilith needs some character interaction ;-;

Yeah, just trying to think of what he could say that could set her off. Alistair can be a bit cold, and I could see him scouring what is left of New Pallet trying to find mutated Spinarak corpses for him to examine, at the expense of helping and such. He could even Also, he might want to look for a merc to go with him to find the source of the swarm which would of course be pretty stupid and dangerous for everyone in New Pallet. Science first, safety later.
Also, Alistair's father was an early days defender of the new settlements as well. It might be interesting if their fathers knew each other. Of course they wouldn't know that. Alistair can be insensitive, but I don't know that he would be about someone who had died.
What sorts of things might set Lilith off enough to confront a stranger? I'm sure Alistair might be prone to say at least one of them.

Perhaps we can have it so that Alistair has put up an "add" for a merc to help him find the swarm. Lilith could totally take him up on escorting him all the while acting superior because she just finished her own adventure in New Pallet, walking out with four Spinarak under her belt to begin with.
Perhaps the majority of the thread could simply be the adventure to find the Spinarak and that way we could possibly get him talking about his beliefs on expansion. Have him possibly start the conversation with a memory of his father. Instead of a knee-jerk blowing up reaction, perhaps Lilith will hold her tongue slightly as they figure out if the their father's knew each other?

That would work. Alistair is going to be a bit shaken by his encounter with the Spinarak. It was his first real feral battle, and even if it goes relatively successfully it is going to be a near thing. I could see him wanting to hire some help and a conversation coming from that. Only question is what are Lilith's rates? I'm not brimming with money but I'll spend some for a chance for character interaction.

So, looking at your posting history, it seems as if Alistair has already started his event. Would you possibly be willing to do a "before" thread. Kind of like a lead-up to the actual finding the Spinarak? Possibly have him put up a want ad or something to be escorted to the forest? Lilith of course, now owning four of the Spinarak she can totally be his guide? I dunno, my thinking cap isn't on right now.
Anywho, her rates are totally in character. I wouldn't actually charge for an escort mission.

Hm. I'm not sure I follow. I figured that the thread would be well after the Spinarak event had happened, and rebuilding had begun. Alistair wants to look in the forest to find where they came from for science reasons. You think that would work?

That makes so much more sense! Like I said, we can totally blame the lack of sleep for anything being confusing.
Would you actually like to wait for the alpha event to finish or sort of use liquid time and vague references during the thread?
