Accio Alice So, any zOMG questions? Or is everything done? c: I might have some along the way, which is what the OOC thread will be good for. Looking at the map of the place on the zOMG wiki I did see what looked like aqueducts acting as gates into the place so I'm including that area as a place we're going to have to trek through in order to actually get to Otami.
And man it's kind of hard to make a native that looks like they came out of the Amazon without making them look like they came from the middle of Egypt or came out of Japanese folklore. Though I do think I did a decent job of making representations of what the descendants of the original Otami tribe would look like today.

Chibi Halo I might have some along the way, which is what the OOC thread will be good for.

On another note: Have you went in the Aqueducts yet? Maybe Prince and I could host a small event to help zOMG players get past their current area.
You could base the natives from Rin and Lin too. Note that Rin is the male and Lin is the female. You can find the twins in the Otami Cliffs to do the Gauntlet and the Stone Coatl quest. (To be honest, when I did those quests, it took me about three months to find the perfect crew to help me finish the bloody thing. Nobody else really knew how to handle them when I was in the area. It was a pain, I tell you that.)
I haven't seen your descriptions though. Mind if you gave me a link to the post? > A<;

They left the original temple/village/Mayan styled pyramid thing when the tribe went to ruins from whatever was the cause for the collapse of their tribe. At any rate here's the NPC section of the thread I've been working on the past few days. If you have any ideas or things to correct don't hesitate to throw things out there. I'm not set in stone on my natives like I am with my first two people because they're going to be mostly nameless villagers that might end up capturing some members of the expedition and holding them hostage, which is where the last time I attempted this plot fizzled off. xp
EDIT: What I was thinking at first before I looked at Rin and Lin a second time was to have them be the basis for the original tribe members. However, now I'm thinking, with the way they look, would be some of the original people of Otami ended up cursed with bird parts in order to be the voice of the spirits/gods that the people of Otami worshiped.

It could be that the original tribe members mingled with the Gaian people, which might the the result of the current descendants- ones that you made- and how they look like now. Also, I was thinking that the cause of the tribe's collapse could be from the appearance of extraterrestrial beings, but I don't know since it's way back from the modern Gaia time..

Given that we'd be talking about quite a few centuries between the collapse and when we run into them during the RP if that makes any sense. Plus, I was kind of thinking part of the reason why they never went back is because they believed the place was cursed and blamed things on angered spirits for bringing things like the Tiny Terrors and the Death Masks upon them. It wouldn't be weird if they were weary of outsiders trying to take the treasures from the ruins?
I kind of want a believable reason for them attacking the group and maybe taking some of them prisoner.

And that is reasonable enough. I like that idea. emotion_kirakira

I just have a couple of things to finish up and we can get going on the sign ups. emotion_yatta

I do believe I'm at the point where people can start posting profiles. Just don't let my own profile discourage you because the "brief history" is as long as it is. You guys can condense things to a paragraph or two if you'd like. Just give us enough to get a good feel for who your character is and why they're who they are.
Be thankful I didn't use my entire character sheet as the basis for the sign ups. xp

Plus, I based her off a past character I was really considering writing a series of stores about so I have a lot of back story to her. xp
