@Zerothis it bad that I’m all for this? XD I can definitely see Zen as this type of person to stick to the routine.

Hmm... So with that taken into account, it looks like our pairs would be...

1: Nathaniel and Julian

2: Liese and Dot

3: Kai and Zen

4: Rossweine and Signar

Is that okay with everyone, or would anyone want to be switched around on that list?

Looks good to me!

Zombehs (and Izu, but he's irrelevant) is the one person here who've I've RPed with too much. I'd personally prefer not being stuck with him here too.

Don’t even dishonor me with that notion, I’ve only been RPing with you again for the last 6 months. >:(

Zombehs has been with you consistently for like a decade plus. :)

You're also in two RPs that I GM for, soooooo.

Psssh mere child’s play compared to Zombehs.

@ERode@Pkken@Zombehs@Zeroth

Then maybe we could put Zen with Signar and Kai with Rossweine? Prince and wild child sounds like a funny combo, and Zen and Signar could bond over both being runaways from Valefor, I guess.

@Feyblueoh yes im actually down with that, I feel like they’d either bond or signar would get tired of Zen.

Dropped a zeroth post in IC to lay some groundwork for other characters in the setting and their reactions to our cast, and to give some foreshadowing for stuff to come. It, like the lore files, is totally optional -- it's mostly just a prologue/sidestory type thing I wanted to have up in case people were interested.

I'll work on the proper intro in a few, and it should be a great deal shorter and less dialogue-heavy. :P

I’m ok with the doggo, though his nose will suffer.

Want me to provide you with a mini CS for Manegold?

@ERode

Sure, if you'd like! I did end up taking some liberties with him in my post. I hope you don't mind.

And the adventure begins @Feyblue

Very nice opening posts, GM. I’m an addict for reading and writing longass novel posts so keep ‘em coming!

Stoked my muse real hard, gonna write once I arrive home tonight.

Not as much as Rossweine's sense of dignity XD

*formal ball for some reason, everyone's in elegant attire, the Prince is obviously shmoozing the upperclassmen and has a gaggle of fangirls*

Kai: "YO ROOMIE!" *his tuxedo and dress shirt have had the sleeves ripped off, he has done away with his shoes ("Too pointy!") and his tie is backwards (genuinely never learned how to do it)* "I finally figured out why all you high-society types are so skinny! Your food's too small!" *holding the entire plate of pigs in blankets*

@Feyblue Great opener, I immediately distrust several people mentioned in the House Prologue! XD Do we need to make mention, or flashback, of the "qualifying spar" like Julian did, or will we be fighting again soon after introductions? I'll try to get a post up asap, although today will be a long one for me with work and such, so it'll be quite late by my time-zone (probably after 9PM CST). Also, should I send you mini-CSes for Sir Kyner Sauvage, the old knight that adopted Kai, or any of his already-knighted sons, for NPC or story filler purposes? Being Kai's parent I kinda figured Sir Kyner might make an appearance later on or something, but as of yet I didn't have any particular "plot oriented" plans.

@Zeroth I'll gladly take any lore you want to give me on his family, though I may not be able to work it into stuff right away.

Also, you don't specifically need to mention the debut spar, but the opening post is mostly just sorta to set up your character's state of mind and how they've been faring going into joining the knights, so the debut spar might be important to that? IDK. Basically, just establish your character however you like~.

Oh ye, is the Discord getting set up, or are we ultimately sticking with OOC?

Discord pls.

Oh, right, forgot I was gonna do that.

I gotta head to work now, but I'll set something up when I get back this evening.
