Well, it's good for there to be character motivators. For your character, Gidian, as long as the assassin-deal makes sense than I think it's a very good motivator. As for the rest of our characters, we could work something into their backgrounds or we could have something motivate them in the RP. That could be someone hiring us to find out more about the assassin, doing something related or whatever we want. It's up to each person what they want their character's motivation to be. For mine, simply the idea of an adventure is enough. For the rest of you, it's something you might need to think about. Either they lost something because of this, stand to gain something, or they're just spontaneous.
