Character listings for Disturbing News and related thread.
I have been asked by numerous individuals to create a named character list for readers reference. In many cases the name of a particular character was not stated till a later point in time for numerous reasons.
I have been incorporating most player suggestions in the writing of the story line thread of “Disturbing News.”
I hope everyone enjoys the story line and I thank you ever so kindly for all of your suggestions. The time of the story line at this moment is at the Zenith of the Moon or approx. 12 midnight to 1am.
Please feel free to add a story, as a couple of individuals have done with the alternate thread. The two plots in the game associated with the story in Disturbing News are The Midnight Star in North Crystal (right next to the pad) and the plot of William Swann in Hemji (Port to Troy and run the portal. The William Swann's plot is adjacent to the portal with the bank in front).
Thanks again for everyone’s kindness.
