Adoptions/Family Finder

The "Family Finder" has been a CoSC tradition since the game started. The purpose has always been to let players fill the spaced that would normally be NPCs on their character with with PCs played by other players instead. This system has let to a combination of strong inter-player relationships and strong IC family lines developing. CoSC has now developed a system to streamline and improve the system that makes sure that players not here since gamestart would be aware of the availability of these characters and this relationship building option.
