So, I've been thinking I'm going to join the Archie Exy copout club, and skip to the end of Summoner Style. That said, I'm going the Photu route (final scenes) instead of the Choobs route (just telling y'all what happened.)
Two big problems:
-The entire Summoner Style cast is AWOL except El. I'll need two or so more RPers who are willing to fill out the RP, because otherwise it's just "Yoshi, Illiana, and Miko chat about stuff they all really should know" (I'm going to want Illiana there, because this is going to be BIG, and she can narrate Summoner stuff when Miko's in the thick of things) Assume we retconned the cast of Summoner Style so it was these characters who went with Miko and Yoshi on the boat ride (presumably Rick and Mia bailed when the boat got near South America, and Hector bailed after the next island we would have encountered, and Joseph bailed during the sequence in New Ellis.)
-I need to establish a few cultural ideas for the Summoners. The ones I'm thinking about are:
+Summoner weapons are established as borderline unbreakable. I was thinking part of the enchantment is that the weapon is actually tied to their owner's willpower, that the last step before they go out into the world is taking a personal vow over their blade that is tied to how durable it is. The one issue is that it feels a little cliche, albeit badass, and also I'd need El's opinion on this (I wonder what Illiana's vow was, if so?)
+I'm not sure how Summoners do their naming? When they've picked a mission for them, Summoners get a name matching the region they're sent to. But what do they go by until then? I've no idea.
