Oh, and you said that you'd looked into the French Revolution a little bit. Did you come up with anything interesting that could be used in this role play?

Well.... Here's a passage I think helps. "Jacobins
The radical wing of representatives in the National Convention, named for their secret meeting place in the Jacobin Club, in an abandoned Paris monastery. Led by Maximilien Robespierre, the Jacobins called for democratic solutions to France’s problems and spoke for the urban poor and French peasantry. The Jacobins took control of the convention, and France itself, from 1793 to 1794. As Robespierre became increasingly concerned with counterrevolutionary threats, he instituted a brutal period of public executions known as the Reign of Terror."

How about Claire's family are friends with Robspierre. And with all the secret meetings the Jacobins were having.... What if a few of the Jacobins met at Amy's inn/tavern.

It works, and makes it a bit easier historically. I mean, we just need to give her and her family generic French last names... And we won't have to do too much research.

Ah-ha! Woo! The Jacobin's themselves were usually English supporters of the Revolution (demorcracy, fair tax.. Etc) Claire's family, who are personal friends with Maximillien Robspierre, help the Jacobins learn the layout of the city!

Right, okay! So basically Aaron and Alexcia(nicknamed Lexie) - Claire's parents - would show around the Jacobin's? That would be their part of the revolution, making sure that they knew the layout and would be able to find their way?

Yep. If we use that, we won't have to have them directly part of the actuall attack on the Tuileries. But, they will still be important.

Oh, what is the family's profession? Tradesmen and women were often assisting the Revolutionaries.... Also, it would help in making a last name...

Mhmm, okay.. That way as well, they'll meet at Amy's inn and take people from there. The Jacobin's could be staying there, so my guys (and probably some others too) would be in and out there all the time to pick them up, drop them off and get to know them and such.

Why yes, yes it will!
And their last name is Martin.. It's a fairly common last name in France, and it's simple too! As for trades.. Any ideas?

Ahh. Well.. With the surname Martin, anything works. I only needed the occupation if you didn't already have a last name.
