[OOC] Kingless Symphony: Emissary of Ascension

[RomanAria]

YEAH NO SPOILERS!

(I'm only on season 3... So much catching up to do. ;-;)

[Ellion]

Is upset she missed the spoiler

[Solace]

Hi I'm here. Sorry for disappearing, a shadow has a home in the dark.

I'll tag all of the Lear characters in a private conversation to discuss any plans for biography similarities and stuff.

Today, I'll begin writing the first post in cooperation with Ambra. We'll be closing the roleplay off from new players soon, so whoever is still working, please finish soon.

@Ambra@Solace

Yo! Me an @RomanAria are back again and we've decided to try and throw our hands into this proper.

The idea that we came up with is that I'd play the part of a preferred hitman/assassin/agent of one of the houses with her playing the part of some noblewoman of some form. As you can probably guess, we fall in love but then I'm assigned to take out members of her house and eventually her dividing my character between loyalty and love, should be something interesting that we hope can be worked in some how ^^

If you're curious, the idea came from the 40k fanfic Can Love Bloom? which follows a similar premise in the grimdarkness of the 40k universe and this song:



Can this work some how?

Also, due to a certain feisty potato, I'm forced to ask if there's going to be something like White Walkers or something behind the Eastern wall? (Asian ninja samurai zombies? c: )

@ClocktowerEchos

So in this universe, your proposed character idea would make yours an assassin or a sellsword.
Roman's character would probably be a cousin / aunt in one of the major Houses, or Roman could create a minor House where she can have that Lord's daughter, I'd assume. No more children characters for the major Houses, though.

It does seem like an interesting idea. Of course, in this time period, their relationship would be forbidden, and if allowed, very frowned down upon. So as long as that's represented and things are kept realistic, that aspect is fine.

Most of the questions would lie in the assassin/sellsword character. Who/where is their contractor? Why is this contractor intent on killing nobles? Given that security within each and every House is tight, this would also mean that your character can't simply have experience in slaying nobles, as well, so this questions their abilities.

There'd just be many things to clear up.

@ClocktowerEchos

Personally, I'd like to keep this a bit of a hidden secret that only the Lords and potentially their children would know from stories as of now, but there is something out there, I can tell you. :)

@Solace

Coming from you, this somehow makes those things more unsettling. Whatever they are.
I haven't read/seen GoT so all I got is that the zombies are creepy and werid crap out in the tundras

@Solace

That's one of the aspects that we were trying to aim at, sort of that "secret lovers" thing a la Romeo and Juliet style taken to 11

@Solace

I was thinking that the character would be an agent of a lord or spymaster, perhaps even a spymaster's adopted son. Perhaps an ex-orphan pickpocket/criminal in his youth?

The base of the character doesn't lie in killing nobles as it is simply being eyes and ears to places most wouldn't be allowed in, not that he's technically allowed either but eh, minor details. The killing of the family is simply more of a set piece thing that could happen one day once shit between the two houses really hits the fan.

He's basically the lapdog of a certain Lord/Lady who takes care of the more discreet matters which are best left to those with already sullied hands and maybe criminal connections akin to Ciel Phantomhive of Black Butler.

Zombie ninja and undead samurai dragon knights confirmed; 10/10 - IGN

Wynaut a sneak peek into the Eastern Region

Hm. With that clarification, I could see your character probably working along @Hippocamp with his Spymaster, for some odd reason. Not that you have to, of course.

I like the sound of the idea thus far, so you can go through with it now and I'll help you along the way with any explanations you might need. :D

[ClocktowerEchos]

@HippocampYey

Shall we take it to PM to discus it in more depth?

[Marlowe]

@Nightwing95 How's your sheet going?

@Kaalee Please put your charrie in the character sheet.

[Silent Whispers]

So, just noticed the title change.

[RainDash]

Jallen Fisher

"A knight of honor, a knight of loyalty."

Name:
Jallen Fisher

Age:
Twenty seven years of age.

Titles:
Ser Jallen, Knight of the Kingsguard

Origin:
Caerleon

Allegiance:
The King, and to a small extent, House Ralei.

Family:

Family

Saren Fisher - Father
Cliera Fisher - Mother
Clara - Sister

Appearance:
The pale hair of the south is very apparent to any who meet Jallen for the first time, and his silver eyes betray some of his northern roots. However, his skin is a little more dark than the image, as he's used to working outside. He's fairly muscular due to his work and is often found in at least chainmail when wandering around town.

Personality:
A deeply loyal and determined man, Jallen will stop at nothing to prove himself worthy of his new position. Jallen was raised amongst peasantry, and later became a knight, but some habits die hard, and his manners sometimes slip. However, he tends to take himself very seriously, and thus has very few times where he speaks loosely. He tends to practice with his weapon whenever possible, preferring to go off on his own and train than deal with various political workings.

While he never earned scorn from the various nobles while a squire, his quick promotion has earned some distrust among the ranks and he tries not to let it get to him. His drive is one of his more notable features of his personality. More than anything, he has no room to care for people who are lazy or unmotivated.

Background:
Born in the outskirts of Caerleon, Jallen was born to a pair of farmers, and he dreamed from a very young age of becoming a real knight. His younger sister died while he was young, and while he doesn't remember her well, she died at the hands of bandits, which he deemed dishonorable and deserved to die at the hands of knights.

Through chance, a knight passed through, recruiting for the local House. After deciding to try and show off for the knight, which resulted in accidentily knocking the knight down with the large tree branch Jallen used as a practice sword. Jallen was picked to become a squire, and at the age of sixteen he went to train to become a knight for the House Ralien. His natural talent with the sword made him an ideal candidate for knighthood, and he quickly progressed through the ranks.

It wasn't until a tournament arrived that Jallen earned the right to be considered for Kingsguard. After a few more years of dedication, an oath to the king, and a move to the western capital, Jallen was officially promoted to a member of the Kingsguard. He swore loyalty to the King, and took his new duties very seriously.

Some consider his youth to be unusual in the Kingsguard, and think that he was promoted thanks to a sleezy lord looking to put a spy within the ranks. He bears these rumors without a care, intending to prove them incorrect through hard work and dedication.

Sorry about the history I wanted to get this up before I go to work

[Marlowe]

@HushedWhispers You almost done with the lady?

[Silent Whispers]

@HushedWhispers You almost done with the lady?

@Ambra

I thought I mentioned that I'd have her up tonight.

I'm at work right now. :( Apologies if I didn't mention that.

[Marlowe]

@HushedWhispers I didn't see. Sorry about that-- solace and I were interested in getting the RP started tonight, too!

[Silent Whispers]

@HushedWhispers I didn't see. Sorry about that-- solace and I were interested in getting the RP started tonight, too!

@Ambra

You guys can go ahead and start it.

I'd hate to be the reason as to why it hasn't started. If you need her name, it's going to be Emmaline. :)

[Marlowe]

@HushedWhispers what time exactly do you think you'll get her up? :o
