I suggest to find some rules for this.

For example location and some genral info should be given. A list like in Bostrom's sidekick request is balanced by the benefit for the sidekick - here being part of unique research. But it could be as simple as shared awesomeness.

I'm going to post some rule suggestions that come to mind, mostly to just get a discussion going:

Questions for both Heroes and Sidekicks (and Dragons, etc.)

  • Post a short description of yourself: personality, skills, general goals.
  • Where do you live?
  • How do you see the contact between the two of you going?
  • What you require in your counterpart: This can be a bit vague but it might be too hard to verbalize for some people

Questions for Heroes:

  • What is your goal?
  • Why are you a Hero?
  • Why do you require a Sidekick?
  • What specific tasks would a Sidekick perform for you?
  • What qualities would you not want in a Sidekick?

Questions for Sidekicks: * What sort of goals are you looking for? * Why are you Sidekick material? * Why do you require a Hero? * What sort of tasks could you do for a Hero? * What qualities don't you want in a Hero?

Thank you Mathias, I have put that on the original post so people see it on top regardless of how they display comments.

Specify rules and I'll post them.
