Seeing as this is in medieval times, I really think the characters should be all boys. Hopefully that won't offend anyone. And for hairstyle, I really have no preference as long as it isn't too modern.

*cough* I was planning to make some up; I already have ideas

Oh don't be boring    Just because warriors were mainly boys back then doesn't mean the project's world has to be the same...

Yay 


Idea: How about there's you and two others - one is a boy who really likes fighting (has good fighting power in game) and killing things, and one is a girl who used to be a pirate (has good tactics in game)?

Who says pirates can't be space-related?    A pirate isn't specifically someone who sits on a ship on the water and gets drunk; a pirate is someone who tries to steal goods from passing people, right? They would use spaceships if they could 

(hahaha, I'm already disliking that boy xD At least he's got a clear character)

EDIT: BTW, weapon question (assuming this is turn-based rpg, not mutiny): What types of weapons do you have in mind? Swords, crossbows, staffs; electric blades, laser rifles, energy spear? 

I'm thinking:

Main character, medieval: whatever you give him
Main character, futuristic: whatever you give him
Boy who likes killing, medieval: Huge sword
Boy who likes killing, futuristic: Fanged, electric, scary blade
Past pirate, medieval: Crossbow (maybe two at once? xD)
Past pirate, futuristic: Laser rifle or two pistol-like thingies


If I'm acting too bossy or 'let's do this' or whatever, just say so

Random Idea:
You could collect little 'companions' along the way. Like a bee or something to that effect, that floats right behind you the rest of the game.

Shadow: Hey, we're just deciding the personalities right now - and we want those to be very thought-out, right? 

Yes, but I also think we need a basis for them, which we've just created. Gender and the feel and origins of a character are essential. From that we can build a plot around them and their particular character flaws. 

  Do we have any girls in the team? That might help in the personalities and such.

We're crossing a very fine line with space and medieval. Having a "futuristic" element may  be taking it too far.

I'm thinking of space as the setting, and medieval as the time period. And unfortunately, in the medieval time period they didn't have laser guns and spaceships.

But I'm hope I'm not being to decisive (or worse, BOSSY!  ). I want everyone to have their input in this.

Yes we do. She is a former pirate working for her freedom.

Possibly... but again, that's adding another element this game probably can't support. What I mean by that is, I'm not sure we can pull it off if we combine three or four genres (you're proposing a different kind of fantasy element), let alone two.

No, I mean in the collab.

And I think we should do a more puzzle theme. And not mutiny. I like it but, I don't think we should make it. Its practically a remake.

Clearly we all have different ideas about what should go in this game.
I probably shouldn't be the one to finalize our decision since I'm so opinionated. 

Someone else can work out what exactly we'll do.

I thinking you are doing good. Just some things...

NP. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. 

Ha ha, old memories xD

About theme: Somehow I always imagined it to blend xD

To be honest, I felt that way too...

You know, I don't really care much about how we do it    Sorry, but as I haven't decided between single or mixed theme, and turn-based or mutiny, I can't really give my opinion. ^^
