Hello! Thanks ![[Image: 1.png]](http://b3.ifrm.com/static/emo/1.png)
I suppose what I'm struggling with is where to start. In Dragonmount it was fairly easy, because once you decided what kind of character you wanted (Aes Sedai, Wolfkin, etc) you could just make a back story and roleplay to "level up" etc. Here the lines seem a lot more blurred. I've been reading around and starting to get a vague idea of the kind of character I want to make. I was thinking a wilder guy who grew up in a more remote/poor area, so that he would avoid the atharim killing him for having the channeling-sickness. I've seen a few of the news posts, one about Theo Andlain running an underground channeling terrorist group, and the recent one where Ascendancy confirmed the existence of "magic". I figure either of those things can be draws for my hypothetical-character to make his way over to Moscow.
But what does he do once he's in Moscow? I could work with a magical terrorist, but is that plotline active? Are people RPing it? What sort of organizations are around (military, civilian, etc) that he would interact with/join? I know about the Atharim but as a channeler his main interactions with them would be running away, which doesn't make for too many fun rp opportunities. I want some sense of where he's going before I can think too much about where he came from, if that makes any sense.
