[OOC] Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

[FallenTrinity]

@shylarah

if you and lady would be so kind to help me set up my character's backstory that would be most appreciated ^^'

[shylarah]

@FallenTrinity If you go winter, there might be some fun conflict with Arys's newly freed knight. That could be fun~ Though hm, Sorin would predate Dagon...eh, but I think he also predates her being queen? Not one hundred percent sure how that was sorted out in the end.

With Sorin as old as he is, I am a little surprised that Dagon outranked him, but then, I suppose Dagon had loyalty to no one but Arys. That would do it.

[LadyRunic]

@shylarah No you do not need to change Sini. Just keep that fact in mind. And I believe Nyx's character was changed because last I understood. His father was a Mara who impregnated his mother. *Raises hand* I cannot check and I do not wish for this to become a stressed topic again. You asked, I answer as I saw fit. As I said this is a work in progress and I did a huge overhaul when I took that break to get my head on right. I cannot keep all the details straight for everyone's character especially when I've just had a melt down over the drama that happened.

It's not a death sentence generally, it's frowned upon and often they will be taken as indentured servants. Some do remain free from this, but most will live in these No Man Lands with other 'half-breeds'. The 'wild' Fae. I stated that these existed before I believe. Falk's people encourage them to go to Falk and often will bring him half-breeds to take the name of. Some even raid these towns, though it's not common and Falk doesn't encourage it. This has generally been ceased since the war of Summer and Winter as those areas were dangerous.

As for indentured servants... They are servants who are forced into it. Better than slavery but not 'free'. Ransoming... Captured after switch borders; which is generally trespassing if you don't go through the proper channels. Ransoming them back to their original Court covers several things, it lets the Rulers have the option to seize back Fae who crossed- especially valuable Fae. Like Falk with the Mara for instance, or Aisling if she had tried. Then it also lets the family have chance to free their kin. It's not overly common in Falk's court but he does use it to get spies into other Courts.

That timeline is if what I know, if @Belle or @BlackPanther wish to discuss adding a war, or add a war in their history. It will be added, Again. Work in Progress here.

Duress is freely. Threats are freely. So long as it's not pulled out of the mind or mouth by potion, or magic the name can be used. Torture is HIGHLY frowned upon and had since the ancient days, for the getting of a name. Life can be made difficult, words can be spoken (Not magic but words, talk/gossip/blackmail). Trickery, bribery. If someone wants a name they can try to get it. But most Fae will not give up a name, because of how powerful names are.

[LadyRunic]

@FallenTrinity PM me any questions and I would discourage being in Winter. Simply because I don't want people grouping up in one season. But if you insist, go ahead. I won't stop you.

[FallenTrinity]

@shylarah

i know i want ot go down the route that he was of royal blood (does not know it) but his parents were banished to the winter court (hence why he has a winter court mentality). Came back and joined their fall court's military when he was old enough, proved to be a capable fighter and moved upward there. Had a love, lost her in either war or skirmish or uprising. Now his sword bares her name (not important but hey).

managed to prove how capable he was when he began using magic in battle and killing en masse earning him the nickname Wraith of War. became sargent, lt, captain until he jumped in rank to general due to uprising. stayed loyal afterwards.

this is a clusterpuck of a idea but the point is i just want him to have a good story that will fit this plot so far... v.v

[LadyRunic]

@FallenTrinity I have a idea and I'll PM it to you.

[BlackPanther]

I'm not opposed to adding a war
Perhaps after winter and summer broke off winter was really mad before she froze her heart and they fought for awhile

Of course it's up to belle since I'm fine either way ^.^

[shylarah]

@LadyRunic I really can't play a character that doesn't fit the setting. =/ If there was no way for Sini to gain recognition, I've no idea what to do. Same if halfbreeds are looked down on -- and I thought bedding people from other courts wasn't that uncommon, either. @.@

Right, my definition of freely (and possibly the legal one) is /without/ duress. You mean the person makes the decision, though they may be forcibly persuaded, or do it to avoid serious consequences. Got it. Though if /most/ won't, I do wonder how Falk managed to get an entire court to willingly give him theirs. Probably took some doing. *amused* Anyhow, if Falk has their names, they /can't/ leave -- he'd just have ordered them not to. Not sure why he things a winter fey was from fall, but whatever. That's his problem, and the kid's dead now.

I know what indentured servants are. It was more the way you phrased things that threw me. I wasn't sure what was going on. I'm still chafing at the idea of being restricted in where you live and unable to switch, at least for the common fey, since you sorta automatically belong to the court you're born in, but eh. Either I'll sort that out myself or I won't.

@BlackPanther There've been conflicts between Summer and Winter since that falling out, at the very least. I thoguht there was peace recently, but before that it was mostly fighting, if not an all-out war (or several). Really, I was more looking for ones Sini might have helped with. ^.^;

[FallenTrinity]

@BlackPantherright now, lady had come up with an idea for me and Sorin so i think i may go with it since it is fairly intriguing.

but i do plan on adding throughout IC, "stories told of about him like little ballads of his life" something with the sound akin to stuff from The Witcher series

[LadyRunic]

@shylarah She has recognition being part of Nyx's guard, captain of it even! Half breeds are looked down on but as always there are exceptions to the rule. Sini is one of those, who with the help of her mother from what I can tell and her advantages in life, rose above it to be where she is.

Bedding people isn't. but Fea doe have contraceptives.

Falk does it and it works, it took a lot of time. Piratically all his years of ruling. But the Fall Folk are happy with him. They have food, protection. The law is fair and they just have to sacrifice a name which Falk has rarely called upon any of them. Rather looking to volunteers. His people do try to leave from time to time. Mostly those who are young, or those who don't care. Falk doesn't order them back and lets them try. Dealing justice if they dont.

[shylarah]

@LadyRunic He lets them try, and doesn't call them back, and then punishes them if they don't...what?

Sini would have faced issues as a younger fey, and she didn't. For that matter, Duska wouldn't have /had/ a halfbreed child, if it was such an issue. *frowns thoughtfully* I mean, I guess it's not really important? But it's gonna bother me unless I can come up with justification. So why would Duska have a child that would be at a disadvantage...?

[BlackPanther]

@FallenTrinity
Ah cool

I look forward to reading it.

Fae stories are a welcome break from pathology and infectious diseases (though I loved both classes my brain is just melted) :3

[LadyRunic]

@shylarah Because it was a simple mis-step on her part. They happen. Yet here she is with this child. Better the raise it then to leave it to the horrors of a orphan Fae's life. Which are bad. Better to raise her, show that she did this on purpose, cover up the mistake and make this child BETTER than pure blooded sorts.

[shylarah]

@LadyRunic Hmm, potentially. Seems a bit OOC for Duska, given her care in avoiding other children, but perhaps. I'll certainly consider it. Thanks!

[FallenTrinity]

The wolf drinks the water from the quiet lake
witcher of the wylde, wolfs pelt take
teeth bared like bloody crimson stone
as man's presence be known
beast circled man man circled beast
human hunt ends and begins wolf's feast
cold pierced the young wolf, thought death it was near
its eyes flashed gold, the iron beast engulfed by fear
raised on hind legs and claws raised high
the fate of the wolf known to only sky
claws came down, as did mans blade
the wolf walked free
the man been slain

ALOT of shit i have to work out for the ballads and all but the idea would be like this

[FallenTrinity]

@shylarah@BlackPanther

so I'm assuming that Sorin would have fought your characters at some point so i was wondering if we could sort this out:

When did they fight?
What were each other's thoughts on the other?
how long did they fight for?

...trying to think of other questions to ask or add into the story

[LadyRunic]

@FallenTrinity Falk approves.

[BlackPanther]

@FallenTrinity
Hm
Well I won't go too far into timing specifically because belle is the other half and the breaking up was hatched between us
So I will go semi vague and say it would be after they broke up

Feoras would be more likely to hate in the moment. Basically fighting for the sake of protecting his land.....he really is confused as to why winter hates him.

Again I would like belle to be involved to figure out how long.

Hope I helped a little bit at least.

If you have questions about salamanders I can help there as well :3

[LadyRunic]

@FallenTrinity You'll want to talk to Bell about that.

[FallenTrinity]

@BlackPanther

that's fine...all help would be appreciated, especially in any major wars or skirmishes Sorin fought in that would involve both yours and Belles characters
