ToAU missions, as a group we already are RPing them. We're just going slowly right now for a handful of reasons. If we follow the same pattern we did with CoP (the only other mission line I've been privy to with ToV), once we get past a critical point we'll start moving faster with them. The overall motive for doing ToAU missions is pretty simple: once your character makes contact with Trion-in-disguise and you meet with the representatives for the Middle Land nations, you're pretty much told "You're our spy over there now, failure to carry out this duty will result in exile from the Middle Lands".
Getting involved, all you really have to do is be inside/nearby when everyone start trooping into Salaheem's Sentinels. Or be listening over the pearl when a call to gather is made.
The Immortal Sins plotline is actually a side/personal story. It just crops up a lot because it coincides often with the other 'more prevalent' side/personal story that is going on. It's not going to last the whole of the group's RP time in ToAU – Kiri and I started this story six (… almost seven…) years ago, and we're eager to finally finish it. We really don't mind others joining in, but there is a sort of "trust threshold" that needs to be passed – if our characters don't trust yours, they're not going to open up about what is going on. Which can be difficult: we have one character who suffers from extreme paranoia, and one that has trust issues in general and is utterly stressed out.
Yup, we're already RPing Missions. Another way to get involved in them, quite simple, is to willingly sign up to the Salaheem Sentinels to make money, and have Naja assign you to team up with us in our current task (assisting the Royal Puppetmaster in uncovering the mystery of the ghost ship Black Coffin).
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
