ANYWAY
I've been pondering what to do with Murdock and here are the following Ajahs I would love to nosy at. Murdock isn't particularly smart, nor is he strong in the power, and when it comes to talents he's only really any good at Healing and in the near distant future, Rending. I can't see any Ajahs overeager to snap this mediocre mess up.
I have no specific goals in mind (that I am willing to share) so he can easily be swayed from one to the other. I'll start with the most important one first.
BLACK AJAH
Murdock's uncanny talent with Rending still needs to be discovered but when the Blacks pick up on it I would like to get some shenanigans going to see if he can be coaxed into joining them. I would prefer to keep the plotting of this close to my chest so if anyone has any suggestions, ideas or is just interested in helping out, shoot me a PM.
RED AJAH
I like the idea of Murdock going around and putting a stop to evildoers by turning their insides to jelly. (As an aside, Red is my favourite Ajah of them all, White being a close second.) He isn't super confrontational but maybe the adrenaline of being awesome and getting stuff accomplished would sway him this way. It might be the most practical, hands on way he can get away with using his Rending on a regular basis outside the Black.
YELLOW AJAH
The idea of being a Yellow bores Murdock but if someone can appeal to his, er, innate good nature, maybe they can convince him it's worth it or some such drivel. It's the closest Ajah to match his Healing talents.
BROWN AJAH
Murdock isn't the most intelligent of men and he's not exactly frothing at the mouth about books or teaching. The more I think about it the more I think this is a terrible fit. But he might find the research aspect of Healing/Rending more interesting in theory than practice, which I guess might also make Indigo an option?
ANYTHING ELSE
If there are any other Ajahs desperate enough to step in then by all means feel free. I think with the right influence he could be swayed to any of the others, though I have an OOC distaste for Greens so would prefer to avoid that. For Blue someone would have to pin the apathetic man down to a cause he can stand for, whilst it might be easy to tap into his reflective inner self and prod him towards the White Ajah. As I said I've no concrete plans and am happy to see how this plays out.
The only thing I am really set on is that I would prefer the exploration "lessons" to be more than a Q&A format. Unless the Q&A is conducted on horseback whilst chasing a rogue channeller or whilst escaping from a sinking ship or something.
ONWARDS
