First I will say that if anyone missed that Allen post linked above, you can still comment to it and I will do my best to backtag. If that's not your cup of tea, I think...Alleyne is gonna do a post regarding Riful as well since she was like I AM ALLEYNE, HEAR ME ROAR. She is much better at delegating tasks ICly than Allen, so that's probably the place to go if you just want to get involved and don't care how. (atma if I am horribly wrong about this, please let me know)
That being said, there are lot of ways to get involved on the heroes front in regards to preparation. We still need volunteers for the following stuff:
1. INFO GATHERING: Talking about taking out a big bad is all well and good until you realize you have no idea how. Not to mention they still need to figure out that Riful has more allies than just Arthas and Legato. Maybe either your character can be actively seeking out info/spying or they could stumble across something by accident (like Riful's tentacle in the woods from her battle with Pharos this spring). This spot of course would require you to contact the villain muns to figure out what would be kosher to find out.
2. CONSTRUCTION WORK: Consistently there has been talk of building a prison in the Dead Zone, both ICly and OOCly. However this does not build it by itself. If your character would dig spending some time in the Dead Zone getting sweaty and building a nice prison addition to maybe the Outpost - this is the spot for you! Great for characters that would love to get involved but aren't frontline fighters!
3. RECRUITMENT: There are muns who would love to have their characters get involved, but due to their evil/neutral/lazy nature - they won't be responding to things like PP filters or they might need a bit of arm twisting to get them to do it. So we need heroic or nice people to convince them it's in their best interest to help out with this cause. This is ideal for the manipulative/persuasive characters or the ones with gigantic moe eyes (http://www.glogster.com/media/3/7/58/27/7582720.jpg).
4. MEDICAL TRAINING/PREP: They plan to go face up against a big bad and not everyone is an anime character that heals from bandages. Not only are characters of the healing/medical persuasion really welcomed - but this is an awesome chance for your character to finally start learning first aid if there are any medical types that would be interested in training people to help out. They can be spending the next month learning how to help apply those bandages and stitches or whatever else you think is possible for your character to learn.
5. FIGHT TRAINING: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dEeMX64) You guys are facing up against something big, you might need to brush up on your skills. Alternatively, you might want to teach your volunteers how to point the sword the right way. After all...Riful is plotting something...what if she decides to invade the castle? This is a great place for fighters who like to train others or those who would love to join in on the fighting- but definitely need all the training help they can get.
6. WEAPON BUILDING: I know Anarin has mentioned York is planning on building really big guns in order to use against Riful. Other characters might want to create other weapons too to help give an edge against them. This is a perfect place for those crafty folks with ingenuity streaks. Grenades, big guns, catapults (?!), traps- anything your characters can come up with.
Character Involvement: Heroes 1/2
