    So... UNKNOWN hires kidnappers for ______.
    Third party convinces kidnappers to keep Twin A.
    Twin B is given away/sold/whatever.

    Is Third Character the third party? I'm feeling awfully slow tonight Facepalm

    Third Character knows the family.
    Third Character chooses to look out for the twins, as well as to push them to reunite when the time comes.

    This is really good, I feel like I see how it plays out but I'm getting confused by the employer/original employer business. What have I done by bringing up that summary omg lmfao

    No, Third Party just stopped the twins going to the unknown. Third character is to do with the birth family. They're different. XD

    Because they have abilities, maybe the original employer always finds out whenever kids with abilities are born and that's why the kidnappers got hired. Then maybe the Third Party could be people who want them to live normal lives which is why they intervened and got the kidnappers to double cross their employer.

    Third Party could have also helped the kidnappers take the twin somewhere they're hidden so that their original employer can't find them. But when they leave home it makes them easier to find which is why the third character gets told to find them and befriend them to look after them.

    Okay I think I get it now. I'm definitely all for that idea!

    Should we get some thorough character planning/mapping done so that's all a little more clear? I'm really excited to get that going.

    Yeah we definitely need to get into the character planning haha. It'll help us keep stuff clearer as we're mapping out more of the plot details. Plus it's fun. tehe

    Holy crap. It's been seven days since I've gotten Mibba to load properly? Facepalm I really need to go nocturnal again. It seems this is the only time I can get it going.

    ANYWAYS!! I've used a couple different formats so I don't know if you guys wanted to all use the same character planning outlines/questions or just each of us do our own thing and report back here? I'll probably make a character page on tumblr and link it to the front post.

    Ooh! I think having some sort of outline/question thing for all of us to use would be a cool idea. That way we can keep all our character info organized and everything.

    @ raven reyes
    @ starfire.

    Using outlines/questions is one of the best ones to develop characters, I've found. So I think that'd be great!
