I've recently created two new characters; Erin Tamaer and Abhaidev Advaya, and I want to RP them so I can develop them a little further.

Neither of them are particularly combat-orientated, since Erin's a big wuss who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag and Abhaidev is inspired by Hindu Asceticism and Jain monks; he practices non-violence in its extremest form, as in he doesn't even harm insects or plants, never mind a human being, so he'd just stand there and let you beat him up, then brush himself off and walk off.

They are much more suited to social RPs, and other non-combat related RPs; Erin will be especially well-suited to anything involving books, the pursuit of knowledge or social awkwardness, whilst Abhaidev is incredibly spiritual, and so would be good for RPing as a random weird meeting, perhaps with a character that has experienced or is experiencing a crisis of some kind.

What would be funny is if I introduced these characters to Kori and Crysor... Kori could help Erin overcome his wussiness and perhaps Abhaidev could help Crysor speak again since all of Kori's attempts are failing...
The problem I see is that these two are fantasy characters (Kori's a hobbit and Crysor's an elf) and since it's fantasy there would probably be a lot of violence involved, or at least a couple of little skirmishes with, like, orcs or something. Would that be okay...?

Combat would be fine, although as I've said Erin's utterly useless and Abhaidev is completely non-violent.

That said, it would be some interesting character development for Erin to get taught some combat skills, and helping Crysor speak again would be Seva - service to Humanity (Elfity?) how and if Abhaidev can help him... well, tat'll be decided in the RP itself.

Ok cool!
Maybe Erin can calm Kori down a bit cuz at the moment he's WAY too hyper for his own good.
So, does we have an RP? *offers hand like we're making a deal*

I think we most certainly do! *Shakes hand*

So, we're going to be RPing a random meeting between our characters... and hope that your pyro-kleptomaniac-ADHD Hobbit doesn't scare the living daylights out of Erin...

So, anything we need to iron out before we start?

Lol.

I'm not sure... What exactly are we going to be doing? Like, are they in a certain town or what?

Well, Abhaidev doesn't really like large crowds, so a small village or on the road would fit him best. Erin loves travelling and novel experiences, but he's quite shy and introverted.

It'd be best if it were a random meet-up n the road, or a village were Abhaidev is passing through, he has to beg for food though, since his vows mean he isn't allowed to own anything except his clothes.

Alright, the road seems best. How do we set it up? Are your charries attacked in the road and my charries come to help, or one of my charries is injured and your charries come to help, or what?

Them getting attacked might be good; it'll help emphasise how totally different they are to your characters, and it'll give Kori the incentive to teach Erin to fight. I'll post up the first post when I've got some more free time han I've got right now, maybe it two or three hours.

Alright, cool! I'll be looking forward to it ^3^
