Update for a couple things
First, I just want to say I'm really pleased with how things have started! It's gonna take everyone a little while to get all your characters "tied" together, especially between original and in-game ones. But I'm really impressed by how much everyone has done so far. We've got a lot of threads going (some really long ones, too!) for a game that just started a few days ago.
Also, there's been a lot of development from before our game started - how people feel about their roommates, who has been friends with who, so on. The people that have in-game characters had that a little easier, but other players have made up for it...so, yay!
Since everyone either seemed excited by the idea of everyone having birthdays, or at least said they didn't really care, we're gonna go with, yup, they age. I didn't want to upset someone who absolutely didn't like the idea, but I think it gives us players more room to do things we couldn't do if they never got any older. Like have a birthday party, if nothing else. LOL.
AND, finally...I'm playing as Quistis right now and Laurie is playing as Rinoa, only because no one wanted either of those characters and I hated to write them out altogether. Someone's working on a Quistis application right now (yay!), but no one's been interested in Rinoa yet. So, my point is...we're fine and good and it's working, Laurie doesn't mind playing her for awhile, but if anyone has a friend who would want to apply as Rinoa...it looks like she's taken, but not really. Just an FYI for everyone in case you know someone who wants to play Rinoa - she's really free!
