I didn't mean to create a separate character. My character is in his 30's so when he referenced the "young" girl, it was his perspective on Emily being younger than him, not that she was a child or someone else. Also I didn't realize that Raven had Emily jump to stairs on the original roof rather than follow the three of us to the second roof with the balcony. So I guess in essence, DS and I both wrote in a separate character. We can continue playing her or just drop her. Either is fine, but I don't see a need to create her but I'm up for a challenge of "sharing" a character too. Could actually be cool (and might provide some more realistic motivation to bring the characters back together, ie see next paragraph).
As for the meet-up-turned-random-redispersal, I'm not sure what happened there. My character is assessing it and reacting to it as would be realistic to him (ie. Tyson came through the door and then did his tomahawk grappling move essentially instantly. Then Emily split again as well. As I wrote, my character has zero motivation to associate with Tyson. He's a liability Jack won't look to associate with based on what he's seen from him. So unless there's some motivation from Valen or Walter to try to meet with those two again, it's unrealistic, in my opinion, that our characters would want to go to the motel. Jack and Valen don't know or have any attachment to either Emily or Tyson at this point having met them for about 2 minutes total and that meeting not really going well.
Maybe we can think of some reason why they would feel compelled to meet with them. Maybe something from the newly created character...some attachment to Emily or Tyson. It seems that Emily didn't mean to leave the group but thought everyone else was leaving, but from my character's perspective he doesn't know this. All he's seen is them come on the roof then leave again. As far as he knows they don't WANT to be with anyone else. And he will not pursue reckless people who would threaten his and Valen's survival for no reason.
Just some thoughts.
I'll try to write a character post later today depending on what the rest of you think about these issues.
