The primary reason you come together is indeed to survive.
Still, if you guys WANT to work on a focus in the same way Kuylen did, I would not object- you could always come up with an ambition. Or even a group name, if it is not too cheesy.
Anything that gets you thinking together about your group is helpful to the dynamic of it all, because it gets you more into the spirit of things.
And yes, of course the fact that you are Dark Siders complicates matters. But I can explore that in plot. Basically, treachery and other forms of selfish advancement are only at all interesting, in a plot sense, if there is a decent group dynamic to be abused/betrayed in the first place, if you see what I mean. If you are just always being nothing but deceitful and treacherous and totally unreliable and single-minded then you are more like a bunch of petty schoolkids than the feared agents of evil that I think you wanted to be when you signed up for this gig...
Other than comments on what was (i.e. what happened on Demarus) and what is (this talk on the group dynamic), what about what will be? Any plans? Comments on the other two things still welcome.
