Q: Can I play someone who won't go to the talks/is unaffiliated with nobility?
A: Yes! You can play basically any character you like! Our only requirement is that your character has a backstory/motivations that link them to one of our plotlines. The Talks are here because they will have big impacts on the country, including on the normal people. It's okay to play a non-noble, because the effects of the talks are so far-reaching.

Q: Guns?
A: No, there aren't guns. Due to the higher oxygen level on Teliv, weapons that rely on explosive mechanisms or burning (guns, bombs, napalm, cannons) are incredibly volatile and unsafe to use. The South has never needed them anyway, with their gates. The North has developed railguns and coilguns, but most are large and require teams of men to operate and transport them.

Q: What level are Northern computers at?
A: While their processing power is greater than computers on Earth, they haven't spread enough for an Internet to develop due to their monstrous cost. No AI has been created yet. Primarily, the computers are used for simulations and rendering of scientific processes for research.

Q: Entertainment?
A: In the South, the advent of the printing press over 700 years ago was the last "big" development in entertainment. Books, shows, and games are all the rage amongst nobility and commonfolk alike. In the North, televisions are gradually spreading, but they have yet to reach the ubiquity of TV on Earth. Ask about specific books or games that are popular if you need them in your posts.

Name: Aelious Aureolin
House: Heir of House Aureolin
Age: 28
Race: Human [Mageborn]
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5'9, and of a muscular stature. Has unevenly tanned skin and callused hands. Many small scars on his right forearm, lacing up and down.

---

Reputation: The charismatic face of House Aureolin, Aelious is seen as the sort of swashbuckling, righteous noble who should only exist in romantic fiction. Though lacking in manners at times, he strives for fairness rather than advantages, and is always eager to fund the ambitions and dreams of others.
Alignment: Neutral, leaning towards technologist. Aelious believes that technology, not magic, will better society in the long run, but understands that magic has supported the South's endeavors immensely in the past.
Skills: Like all Heirs of the Aureolin House, Aelious is trained to fly Wyverns in any situation. Unlike all Aureolin Heirs, Aelious is both talented at it and invests a great deal of time in it, perfecting aerial acrobatics and dizzying spins. He's an excellent fencer as well, bold and decisive in his counterattacks and offensive, though lacking when forced to put up a full defense.

Beyond that, Aelious has a surprisingly good intuition for gauging how valuable or interesting someone's creative work or inventions are, and is one hell of a deal-closer when he needs to be. He maintains healthy relationships with basically everyone he meets, and recognizes the difference between the person and the House they represent. And if they go out for drinks afterwards? He'll definitely drink them under the table while discussing the philosophy of chivalry with contemplative clarity.

Backstory: Aelious was born as the son of the former Lord's first wife, and lived with everyone expecting him to succeed that position once his father had aged and passed. But the dragonblood that coursed in the veins of the Aureolin family was especially strong in Aelious's blood, and he had always been a rambunctious child, capable of studying only what interested him and wholly incapable of respecting his elders. In his fury, Aelious's father announced that his second wife's son, Althein, would succeed him instead, perhaps hoping that'd shock Aelious into obedience instead.

But it was a burden off the young man's shoulder instead. He never had a chance at freedom the way he was born, but as the right-hand man of Lord Althein Aurelion, Aelious could at least travel far and wide, resolving issues while Althein held the fort. That arrangement was fine with him, the best, even. From meeting with prominent artists to investigating disruptions in landlines to monitoring the wyvern rookeries to meeting with other clients and House representatives, Aelious makes sure that his half-brother's decisions are always made with the most up-to-date information at hand.
Miscellaneous: Though certainly romantically eligible, considering his handsome appearance, cavalier attitude, and his status as the Lord's 'troubleshooter', Aelious remains a bachelor, having rejected all attempts at serious courtship.
