All participants in Corsairs and Corsets:

I’m very excited for Corsairs and Corsets to begin!!

I hope I’m putting this in a way so that I do not seem elevated, but as beautiful and stunning as the other young characters are, it is important that they see Dryea as competition for her own attractiveness. This is necessary, in my opinion, because it is how she got her reputation and popularity in the citadel in the first place, along with her soothing personality. Do you see? If your opinions differ on this, please PM me so I understand.

Also, it’s going to be vastly difficult to ‘protect’ my character and keep her un-suspected for long. I have a feeling that the characters will all want to be the first to discover who she really is making Dryea a very tedious person to play. I think it is necessary to stress the fact that in order for the story to ‘work’, the characters must see Dryea as just a regular noblewoman of the citadel and an exceptionally friendly one at that. The reason Dryea and her mother were not found out all those past years is because they acted very benevolent. Even though they are playing evil characters, they are very generous and kind and no one should expect them. Suspicion only arises when Finduilas and her group don’t recognize them. Even then it’s little suspicion because their supposition is not much to go on. Only through spy work and other difficult tasks is the truth finally rendered. I’d like to stress the fact that Dryea (and her mother of course) are very caring, sympathetic, compassionate and gentle towards everyone!! Of course this will change as Dryea becomes more frantic and she will slip up bossing around maids (who will be very important as they will see Dryea’s bad side) and pass it along to their mistresses. Not at any point do I foresee Dryea ‘losing it’ in front of any noblewoman.

Durelin: Which brings me to your character-Vern. If you could, I don't understand how your character thinks Dryea and 'her whole group' from Dol Amroth are "nasty". The Corsairs have done nothing so far to cause any suspicions. That is what this whole RPG is about and it begins when FInduilas comes and then suspicions are raised, not before...I'm pretty sure that is what we decided. Manardariel, Sophia, Nurumaiel? Am I right on this?

Ooh I’m so excited I can barely stand it! Thank you loads!

Motivated,
Maikafanawen
