Haha, that's a good age. I'm assuming 30-40, aye? That's good.

Just make whatever character you're comfortable with. Don't feel like you HAVE to shore up weaknesses in the Council. If you guys are all warriors, you should probably consider being a war-focused clan.

I edited to that to be Dyvella's shrine, since that's his patron, but I can swap it out at any time, if she doesn't make the list later. And:

1. YEEEHAAAWW!
2. will do after a short break, so my mind is fresh and isn't auto-correcting everything for me.
3. :D Old peeps are the best, and worst.
4. >:) Gentle, yes, very gentle... "Relax, enjoy your bubble bath, don't mind the iocaine powder in your wine. Did you like the roast? So-n-so made it especially for you, did you know that?"

Yeah she's right there at 40 which I figured didn't really make it quite old just not prime and I didn't want to overload it with stuff.

War banding can be fun, might I suggest exporting it? Offer the services of some of our warriors as mercenaries in other's wars? If we write the contracts well, even a bad season can prove profitable for us, if barely.

Totally acceptable.

That's actually allowable by Urlandi customs, yes.

So, it's almost Saturday. I'm not gonna start the voting process until some time tomorrow morning or afternoon, but I figure now is a good time to reiterate how the voting process will work and explain a couple things, just so everyone's on the same page.




Making the Clan

The Voting Process


As discussed previously, I'll be presenting you with a series of questions every couple days for you to answer (2-3 questions each time). There will be a bit of preceding lore for you to read, so you'll be learning a bit more about the Urlandi during the voting process.

Most of these questions will have options available for you to select, but the last pair of questions are going to be open ended. I'll be up front: I'm going to ask you what your clan's name and what your clan's symbolic colors are. Yeah. For those two open-ended questions I will choose the answers I like best (unless there's just overwhelming support for a certain color combo / name). For everything else, it comes down to a vote.

I'll post the questions in the IC section of this thread. You then PM me your answers. When all the votes are in or 2 days have passed, I'll tally the votes, post the results (showing who voted for what) in the IC thread, and then provide the next set of questions.

There's a reason I'll be showing who voted for what: whenever you vote for something but none of your selections win, your weight in the next vote series is multiplied by 2. Basically, your vote's weight is doubled each time NONE of your selections in a series of questions are the winner.

People who join late for some but not all of the questions will be considered to have "lost" a single vote previously, giving them a weight of x2 in the current series of questions.




I hope that was explained well enough. Sometimes I think I'm bad at this.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask 'em!

Okay, I just HAVE to link this song because of your character application. With that done, let's proceed to the judgement.



1. Go ahead and check for typos. I noticed "brown her" written instead of "brown hair." Nothing major, but if you're a nitpicker like me, you may want to perfect your app.
2. The armor and shield belong in the Estate section, not the backstory. I'd also like to know what sort of armor you were thinking of having her wear. I mentioned to Lauder what sort of technology is available in this era already, and I can post that information again if you'd like. The Heavy Armors section lists chain mail and scaled armor, which is probably what you'll be using, but you can totally spikify that stuff.
3. Make sure to use paragraph breaks in the RP itself. I only say this because the background is a big block of text.
4. SHE WRASSLED A BEAR HELL YES
5. Overall, I like this character and her goals.

So, my final verdict...

Accepted! But clarify what sort of armor you wanted her to have before you post the character, and make the changes I noted.

Also, feel free to vote right now. Like, rinnao.

I imagine her armor looking something like this but with more spikes naturally. Moving armour/shield details into estate and fixed 'hair' type.

Only @Tracyarmav is left to vote. Then we can move on to the next voting phase.

I have to admit, I'm slightly surprised by a couple of the vote choices. That's a good thing, IMO. This is looking interesting.

A little something about why my character doesn't keep thralls in the RP despite being evil and living in a society where slavery is acceptable.

IRL Me: "Slavery is wrong as it deprives a person who has not broken any law of the chance to advance their lot in life through hard work and dedication. However, it is perfectly acceptable to put criminals to work to pay the costs of their imprisonment."

Ardghal (My character): "Slaves will murder you in your sleep."

As an aside, I'll go ahead and outright say that while KODP had a choice between "thralls" and "no thralls," every clan in this roleplay has thralls.

HOWEVER, questions about the particulars of being a thrall will come around later on during the voting process.

I'm gonna take a brief nap (30 minutes), but then I'll be around again. Feel free to PM me, ask questions here in the OOC, etc.
