TEAM UP

[buckingham]

dynamic duos!

Sometimes, you think that two characters would make a terrific gen team-up. That said, sometimes you can't puzzle out how to affix piece A to piece B. How can you make this work? Worry not, friends! We've got you covered and brought a whole spread of CR-building scenarios, from mundane to magnificent, to wrangle any disparate characters together.

examples:
Character X accidentally gives Character Y a black eye, broken nose, or split lip.
Character X mistakes Character Y for someone else until it is too late.
Character X shows up to a blind date... Who turns out to be Character Y.

how to play:
By now, we all know how the story goes. You, top-level commenters, toss your information and preferences up there, replying parties will dip into the generator, paste what they've got down here, and it's off to the races.

2. Character X is somewhere they should not be, Character Y has to sneak them out.

[darlingdatura]

[Okay so I'm looking at 2 and thinking something kinda amusing- Ondrea wants to be this Big Damn Hero, Mikka already is one. But given most people haven't met him the stories are wildly inconsistent about what he looks like, so a tiny catboy obviously doesn't fit the bill. They run into each other somewhere dangerous and Ondrea takes it on herself to protect this guy who is clearly a newbie adventurer right? Too much is going on for Mikka to correct her and shenanigans ensue? Can be ffxiv-verse, a mashup, or straight fantasy, I'm chill with however you wanna roll.]

On closer inspection, the man was young in age and he had likely been running for a few minutes already.

The cry of an unfamiliar predator sounded again and Benedict tensed as his gaze turned back to where the young man had burst out of the forest. He thought he heard the boy yell out a warning to run or something but Benedict was focused. His hand was on the bayonet at his hip.]

Get behind me.

[He told the young man, and drew his bayonet to face the creature headed their way.]

[lightduties]

Moonfire faire... one of Rhea'li's favourite holidays. After all, who doesn't love a little unrestrained summer fun in their lives? Though he's not particularly involved with supplying or staffing the event, somehow, he still ends up getting roped into helping out. Not in an official capacity of course, which makes it much easier to slack off if he feels like it.

So when he spots a newcomer, he waves her over. "Care to try your hand at the Nimble Warrior Course?"

Like many other beach goers, he's traded his usual attire for summerwear. This year he's wearing a sky blue shirt (worn open) and dark shorts with open toed sandals (all the better to shake out the sand.) His left eye is slightly discoloured from the blindness in it, but that doesn't stop him from looking Jill over before grinning.

He gestures at the large wooden obstacle course set up on stilts over water nearby. "You look like you could give a right run of the challenge! Have you the skill, the agility, the grace, to make it right to the end?"
