Welcome to the Wishing Well. I've noticed a lot of people commenting on how slow and uneventful things have gotten lately. Well, this is partially because we all have busy schedules and some of us have trouble getting on.
But I also feel this is because we have yet to clearly define where we're going with the story yet. I'll have you know that I have a good dozen premade bad guys and plots I could throw out. But I was hoping that, instead of re-using pre-made plots, we could make a good, complex story around your characters.

This means that I need a little input on your character backgrounds and goals, that you need to add story as you post (as apposed to simply reacting), and that I need to know exactly what you guys want for your playing experience.

So, this Well is where you throw all your ideas with wishes they'll be used in the game.

Summary:
Collaborate all your plot, Grand Lord, and dark scheme ideas in one place. If you have an idea what you want to face then place it here.

Example: Wouldn't it be kinda cool if there was an organization out to take over and reform the world? They could use weird technology to sap everyone of their wills and life force.
Or
Alien Vikings have swept the world, we should send small armies or Armadas after them.
Or
The chancellor is out to kill the Ying king and steal his position. He's already gotten ahold of and altered the will to include him. And he's the same guy who poisoned the Yang King.
He's actually an Aguan murder criminal trying to pit the two clans against eachother.
Or
Some guy got a bunch of psychos together and is trying to abolish the Clan System. He's actually the descendant of the guy who revolted against the Gods in the first age.

So, get in here and collaborate!

Maybe a Ying Princess should be having a secret relationship with a Chini lord. (Or maybe the King himself.)
Because of this she'd probably try to hamper Rin from getting the help he needs.
One of the players could stumble across this knowledge and... well, a bunch of things from there.

They could threaten them into silence. They could capture them. They could try to convert them to their side.

How about this one:

Yang makes a sleight against Ying, Bob's your uncle, the orders of Paladins and Anti-Paladins are born and holy wars begin. Obviously, this will spill out into other clans making it an "Us or them" world war.

Do tell. Elaborate on Paladin/Anti-Paladin Orders. What evil foe shall we have sleighting Ying. Should it be from the inside, by a possesed Arch-Monk?
Shall it by from the outside, by an incredibly bored/artistic lord who thinks dominating the world is his greatest challenge/art piece? Ah, so many options. the exileration!

Okay, back to normality. I would like to talk a little about how to pull something like this off. It sounds like it would start out strictly Mortal related.

Perhaps. See me, I was thinking someone in a seat of power/influence in Yang clan says something depreciative or lewd about his counterpart in the Ying clan's sister or something trivial like that. Next thing you know, the Yang clan are all pagans and the Ying clan are all infidels.

As for Paladins/Anti-Paladins, they are highly-trained knights in the Ying or Yang clan (respectively) that have also mastered a degree of magic unknown to common folk or ordinary soldiers. Think of them as specialists.
