You know what, we may be able to do plots A and C.  However, we will have to clearly mark our posts with ((PLOT A)) or ((PLOT C)) before continuing our posts.  And for those players in multiple plots (like me), have a barrier between plots on our post, to reduce confusion.

Think this will work?

You're not required to make one for the other plot if you don't want to.  And if making chars are that tough, I could always help out.  Besides, I haven't yet assigned the Ancient char to someone yet, probably not until his cue, and there might be another Ancient in the other Plot.

The new profiles have been approved.

Also, Kor, you can set up a villain for Plot C, if that helps for ideas.
