I've been thinking about the context in which we would apply our characters and their pertaining laws, and tackling the idea of a plot. For example, the circumstances that bring them together, the possible reasons that would arise to keep them together, and their general goals (as it were) for moving forward which would in turn bring about an antagonistic force because I don't think said force would appear just BECAUSE. Otherwise, we would be treading dangerously towards some elaborate slice of life thing I don't wanna go for.
Having said that, I've come up with nothing that I find satisfactory, but decided to come back here and ramble once more in hopes that writing it out generates more ideas in myself or the rest of you.
And without further ado, rambling:
I suppose the most important thing to tackle is the circumstances, since an antagonist force can be figured out down the road as Samster pointed out.
I've just been thinking about what could possibly bring together a variety of personalities and keep them together long enough to develop some sort of reason to actually stick together. Especially, given the fact that the laws they are gifted with are non-explainable and therefore unprecedented, and unique to each individual. So then, assuming all characters have absolutely nothing in common that could tie them to each other somehow (i.e a criminal record, a zip code [which wouldn't make sense cause what are the odds!], etc. etc.) it seems even more improbable D:
Unless I'm missing the mark, something has to tie them together in order to make the circumstances that force their meeting work. Only thing I could come up with was some corporate hands reaching out for them with vague ideas about "abilities." Perhaps even a future antagonist is involved, perhaps even one that is gifted with a law of his own and therefore assumes that if he exists others might too. (a la
Unbreakable I suppose)
With corporate backing a group might be amassed somehow, but given the uniqueness of the laws not everyone in the group would have them just be suspected of having some vague capacity that might point towards a law.
If I'm making sense, we could kill off a bunch of the amassed group while showing the usefulness/effectiveness of our character's laws.
.... there's something about this whole corporate thing that doesn't have me convinced though. Use your brainy brains again D: (haha I jest)
EDIT:
This seems to take us further away from the Touch atmosphere and more into the sci-fi genre, but I think it's all in how we approach it in the actual roleplaying so I won't shy away from blurting out anything that comes to mind.
