Well, Draykon, you know where I stand on this (for the most part). The only things I would have to add (or possibly put out into the open forum) is that when we consider how we all got on board the vessel, I'd say that we need to establish how we all ended up in the separate portions of the Rys'jouna. Will there be a collection of droids that serve aboard the vessel? Sort of like the Keepers of Mass Effect? We are technically playing with an ancient and highly-advanced race's technology here. I'd say it's worth a bit of consideration to hash that out.
As for items belonging to one's person, I'd also think that we need to try and make our "arrival" angle a bit more solid before deciding who has what tools at their disposal. If it's a prison ship, and we broke out, then there's a chance that whatever weapons/items we had to begin with, we raided them from the lockers on board (and thus, we simply were relieved of them again once we were put to sleep by the ship, etc. etc.); if we happened to be spirited aboard by the many advanced systems that the Rys'jouna has, we might not have any of our players' associated gear due to the ship's failsafes (or something like that, it's really up to the individuals involved here how that plays out).
If any of this doesn't ring true with you folks, then I'll work with whatever we come up with. Honestly, I think perhaps non-threatening items (such as weapons and the like) would be better off left somewhere else. Keeps everyone honest in the beginning, and perhaps later on, we can find other weapons/discover a machine of some sort on-board that can construct them for us. Again, this is just my opinion...I understand we need "triggers" to help us regain our memory, so maybe just through the simple use of whatever items we have in our possession would be enough to facilitate that need. Weapons just don't seem to fit into the Origins episode like one would think. Having to improvise due to lack of immediate resources, however, that can make for some interesting writing, as well as allow us to think outside the box...however, as I've said before, opinions and all.
I dunno, though...what do you guys think?
