I'll have Darcy and Ondine come in, as well as the senior Weathers. No one's going to keep them from a wedding!
And a couple of helos too...

I(and I'm guessing a few others) have no idea what to do with my character...the current plot seems a bit concentrated on Insane's and Ebony's chars.

I(and I'm guessing a few others) have no idea what to do with my character...the current plot seems a bit concentrated on Insane's and Ebony's chars. Same here and I'm finding it very hard to get in on. She did bring up Tony as something I can work with, but because the plot is so heavily concentrated on Insane's and Ebony's characters now, I'm pretty much been left in the dust. Normally, I'm not one to complain about an RP unless I find something wrong. But now I actually am. My characters are being left in the dust with very little to do and when I try getting back in, it's extremely hard to stay. Now I've been polite and kind about this, but maybe I've just been way too quiet. So I'm going to speak up here! Yes, I have been left in the dust, I can't find my "in" anymore, I don't have a storyline safe for a wedding which in the great scheme of things is a minor thing and doesn't survive on its' own. I'm alright with minor roles, but I don't have a hell of a lot to survive off of making this a huge challenge. Also, we've done the exact same thing to Fierano's character too. Can anyone actually help us back in?

Well, considering I have control of Slick, I thought that maybe soon that plans for the wedding should get started, but I have no idea how to plan a wedding so I would need a lot of help with this.
The only person to be online the same time as me is Insane, so that's who I RP with for the time being. I haven't seen you on as much and that sorta leaves me without anything to do with your characters...
So how about coming up with ideas for this wedding?
- Set a date - What preparations would be required? - Where would this wedding take place? - How will Slick and Kamui spend their time before they have to get married? (spend family time or with friends?) - What will be everybody's role for the wedding? (I know Ebony's going to be the Maid of Honor)
Things like that...
And I think we can hold off on Tony and Luke for awhile and actually let the wedding happen. They'll come after the wedding would be over.

Just because I'm only on in the evenings for a while (And a job during the day) does NOT qualify me as being dead, okay?
As for the wedding, there isn't a lot of survivalble material there.
Date: At the beginning of the RP, it was established that it would take place in 3 days time Preparations: I know only about bits and pieces (More historical things than actual modern day things) about weddings. So this one is a tricky one for me as it is a hard one to move around in. Where: Radiator Springs. Where else? About Kamui/Slick's time spent: I dunno and I really haven't been tossed many bones here which is also making this one hard for me to move around. Roles: Well.... it was established that Hideki is going to be the "flower" girl (By "flower" she means explosives or fireworks of some kind) and that there's no "Father-of-the-Bride" styled roles or roles who's origions were based upon "wife bartering." As for everyone's roles, my mind is a big blank.
But as for the time between W-day and now.... I don't have much and what I do have is extremely restricting which is limiting character interactions which is starting to cause me to be a little bored (Which I don't wanna be..... really. But I don't have a hell of a lot to go on.)

Hmmm... how about... unexpected and uninvited relatives crawling out of the woodwork? Any successful person with a national profile will have at least a few of them.

What about Kamui's parents? Wouldn't they want to attend their daughter's wedding?

What about Kamui's parents? Wouldn't they want to attend their daughter's wedding? Yeah.... about them.... well.... I haven't figured out any decent and fun personalities or any real good stats for them at all yet. When it comes to them, I'm always hitting a creativity roadblock.

When I created Ebony's mother, Melody, I had no stats for her either (still don't actually) but just went and introduced her, really didn't use her that much, but when the ideas started to flow I used her. That is how I'm developing her history and other things.
So, one thing I remember about Kamui's parents is that they didn't tell her that she was of Shooter heritage and it ended up with her having to learn about it from Diamond. That idea could be used to build the profiles of Kamui's parents.

I'm extremely picky about my characters and I'm far more comfortable about creating their bios before hand rather than to introduce them without any stats at all. I feel sorta "naked" if I don't do that. I have to build all that up first and give it a polish before I send them in... otherwise, I'll end up with characters I don't like to play with. ~Kamui.EXE

As for getting them back in, how about no more peace-time stuff? I can only deal with peace-time for so long until I pretty much bore myself outta an RP. I've totally reached that point of "I'm going to freak if I get too much more peace-time," right now.

So something exciting has to happen, then. The only ideas I'm getting is to have some sort of race or a treasure hunt or something.

I want something that Cam could get himself involved in...he currently has zero relationship with most of the characters and it's very difficult to RP him that way in "peace-time".

Okay, I see that there are a few players who aren't actually involved in the main storyline and not even the sideplot one. Tracker89 and Nitrohoney just to name a few. They joined just so that they could help me get their characters into my fanfic.
Now, this is what I've been thinking. What will happen to those characters who are not directly involved in the main storyline? Are they just to be ignored while the main characters get all the attention?
Now what can Cam (Tracker89's character) as well as Miko and Brie (Nitrohoney's characters) do in the RP?
If there isn't any way to get them back into the game, then they'll just leave, and probably even Insane ('cause I RP with her on a regular basis) as well.
I am NOT going to ignore them and neither should anybody else for that matter! Now, I am going to try to help those nonrelated characters out a bit and nobody should yell at me for doing so. Got it?
