Death Sentence comments

Here's the thread for all the comments on Death Sentence

These intro posts are starting out a little slow, but the idea is to try and get people a little aquainted with some of the characters by observing them rather than having me tell them how the characters are. In this way, I get the new readers to understand what they need to know, without boring the old readers with unneccesary explanations (hopefully).

So far, I've alluded to the habits of Rick, Vlad, Aya, Ivan, and the arakun race as a whole (I suppose Ed in specific as well, but he hasn't done much so far). I hope to round up the basic cast with Ed, Anne, Pierce, Chris, and Leon, and finally leaving all the introductions behind and starting up the actual story. Yes, there's a reason why the RP is titled "Death Sentence".

Ok, so I didn't get to show Anne, Pierce, Chris, or Leon. Suffice to say Pierce can't shoot a thunderstick worth a damn (the opposite of Aya), but is quite good with a police baton. Chris and Leon tend to drink on the job and otherwise goof around. Anne's already been shown in Hand Puppet, but she'll likely appear in the next post when they fetch Rick (It's the day after his class, so he'd be at home).

Following Kereth's comment earlier on Hand Puppet, I decided to have the people of Sosel engage in various japanese stuff. As a result we have Fred playing sudoku. Probably going to mention the food and drinks and stuff like that more often too.

As for Rick, this is something that was actually planned (Unlike Procyon, my other instance of something that seemed planned. I just pulled him out as a random person Urth had killed). I had ideas for doing more with Rick and the Edon guard when I was wrapping up that story, and had already had a rough draft of Death Sentence thought up. This is one of a few moments where I've mentioned something in the story that will come up later on, though this is the first time where we actually see where it's going. The other 2 allusions I've done so far are planned for Fallen from Grace, and a paladin one I have planned for after that, so they won't be seen for a while. Both of them were fairly obvious though.
