I thought I would post this interesting tangled web of character motivation that has been happening right now while we are planning this Big SL. If I got something wrong, please feel free to post and correct me as I am writing this with a cold and lingering Nyquill effects.
So after talking with a player muns in IM's we've discovered a few things:
Igneous - He's pretty much just come from a land where the Spiritors have pretty much conquered all of Lupinoss. Thus said, he is looking for new territory to claim.
Mirius - She's been bouncing through rifts ever since she got sucked out of Lupinoss. I don't remember at what age her mun told me, but Mirius doesn't even remember why Spiritors are attacking the other Great Dens. However, she also comes from several war torn rifts and has gotten used to fighting and killing. Sounds straight forward, but here where it gets a bit tangled. She has an adopted daughter now, has been healed once by Ammy who is a Spiritor and the creator of the Den but isn't trying to kill Mirius or take Rawsha away. Mirius has met Lene and is wary of the teen after Lene came investigating the missing Rawsha and the inspected the rifle bullets Mirius was carrying due to several Den Fangs being shot and killed. She's met Iimiidiina and well simply put things went nasty from their. She's also met Fleet, the heir to the Great Den Wolf, and had a nice in depth talk with him though they didn't kill or attack each other. So Mirius has several interesting areas she can branch through.
Amaretto - Just plain mischievous and evil. She's hooked up with The Ebony Knight (Evil Deity of Lupinoss) and pretty much does his bidding. Simple to say she's just a chess piece in everything.
Ammy Spiritor - She just wants the wars to stop and has so far moved in many directions that would be deemed traitorous to the Den: Allowing Mirius to adopt Rawsha, giving Mirius a high level ID Card to the Den, and even going to the point of trying to stay out of any conflicts whether or not it is for either side. She is also of the belief that maybe the Den needs to be over run, taken over, and society remade a new. How war would accomplish this, I don't know.
Fleet Wolf - Wants the wars to end just as much as his mate Ammy Spiritor, but he's taking a different tact. He's been putting himself in harms way to talk to the other factions to try to reason with them. He's failed with Mirius, but has agreed that if he can keep his family out of the battle, she won't go after them. He has yet to meet Igneous, though the Ebony Knight worked him over really good last time.
Myrlene Wolf-Spiritor - Plain and simple is just trying to do her job as a Den Fang Law Enforcement Agent, as well as be a good mother and mate to her dragon Moonshine. Both, I can see are just caught in the middle of all of this just trying to make sense of it all.
Moonshine - Pretty will be supporting Myrlene in whatever she does.
Iimiidiina - Hard to tell with him. Iimiidiina is all over the board. For one he's shown pure hate for Mirius and Igneous but has also shown he can ignore them and put up with them for a short time. As to how his motives for the wars and reactions to it will be is a guess in the dark though he does seem quiet opposed to any evil forces.
Fiim - Former slave in Lupinoss to Spiritors. In an odd time flux, she was around when Ammy was a young pup herself and in the Spiritor Laboratories making her into a Spiritor Mage Weapon. Fiim has no love for any Spiritor, though she may break if captured by them.
Tairen - Fiim's mate is just about the same, but treated worse than Fiim in Lupinoss. He's also been given rough treatment by several others in the Den and has now taken a stance of not liking too many Lupes he doesn't know. He seems likely to break like Fiim if caught and his mun did mention that maybe he could break and be sent to kill.
Vuusoolta Wolf - Eldest son of Fleet Wolf. Leader of the Den has pure hate for the Spiritors and would love to see them all six feet under including his step mother Ammy Spiritor. Though he hasn't mentioned that he would love to see Ammy die. He has also made it well known that to mess with the Den will definitely lead to war. Though right now, as posted in several SL's Vuusoolta is trying to duck the spotlight with the whole Mogriil case and the killing of several councilors at Vuusoolta's orders.
Mogriil - Might as well mention him. Mogriil as we've all discussed is purely neutral in everything now as he is Amaramus Con Jackus' servant. His trial is still going on and may offer a lot of fodder for spreading rumors and riots against Vuusoolta.
Verbosk - He's a wild card so far though he seems to have loyalties to Vuusoolta.
Faan - Scared to death of Spiritors, though if war were to come he may try to sneak into the army to fight against them. He's also wary of Ammy Spiritor.
Street Wolf - Elder brother of Fleet Wolf was leading rebellions and resistances against the Spiritors in Lupinoss. No doubt he would make sure his family is somewhere safe then start the rebellions and even fight in the army against the Spiritors.
Vixie Rivergem - Another wild card in this tangled web.
Sean - If Igneous ever figures out what the significance behind the human veterinarian is, things could go badly quickly. Sean's unaware of the war brewing.
Rawsha - Again, wild card in this tangled web.
Garnet - Again, wild card in this tangled web.
Emuna - Hard to say with the muns character. Wild card spot for her too.
Fen Stridar - Used to be the Ebony Knight. Again another time twist and he was brought to the light side by Mokksha and has abandoned his evil ways though he is still tied to the evil powers. He is not happy with the reappearance of The Ebony Knight and has had tenancies of wanting to fight the evil god and the wars. He's holding back though as he now has a family and runs the hospital. In effect, a possible wild card depending on how things go.
There are a whole host of other characters I am sure that can come into this planned SL and cause all kinds of events to happen. But I am not aware of them yet. Also, to keep in mind, both sides have a lot of allies that haven't been tapped yet, or asked for help. I hope this gives everyone birds eye view of whats cooking in the pot. What I have said here is not law, it is not cold hard facts. They are just the observed feelings of what I sense with these characters. Again, feel free to post and correct me.
