[harinezumikouken]

@VitaVitaAR Do the bath waters have restorative properties?

[VitaVitaAR]

@harinezumikouken: So much non-explicit nudity glossed over in the most reserved manner possible.

... Because going into detail would be weird.

As for the water, to some extent.

[chukklehed]

I wonder if there's a market for non-explicit pornography.

@VitaVitaAR

Could it heal bruises?

[VitaVitaAR]

I'd say it could, yes. It was blessed by a bunch of Mayonite priestesses.

[chukklehed]

I read that as Mayonnaise priestesses

[VitaVitaAR]

Pffft no no those are different.

[ghastlyInc]

I read that as Mayonnaise priestesses

Speaking of GAEM OF THRONS

Since it's court intrigue this time, I might run this npc through ya.Enter the second youngest of the August Sunfield House! Also kind of an asshole and not part of the Iron Rose Knights.

• Name:Sir Nero Sunfield
• Age:19
• Gender: Male
• Race: Human
• Appearance: 5'8", Nero bears a striking resemblance to his baby twin sister, if Sult had been born a male. Slightly effeminate, with silky blue tresses at neck length matching his blue eyes, he has a rather toned slim but rather toned physique, and he usually dresses in graceful clothes when the ocassion requires it. He wears a dreadful all black armor in battle, carved with a sun motif which has a black raven in the center.
• Personality: Nero, very much like his twin sister, is rather tricky in his ways and loves to play with people and the status quo. Unlike his sister, however, Nero has a clear drive beneath his tricky and clever nature, and he never makes a move without considering the implications and benefits. Ridden with an abysmal sense of inferiority as he struggled to match the path set forth by his overachiever family, and deeply resenting the squandered talent of his baby sister, deep down Nero is very cynical and bitter. He thinks the entire world is his enemy or pawn, and acts accordingly.
• Brief Backstory:Nero, very much like his sister, was born the baby of the bunch among his siblings. Being the offspring of the second spouse of Lord Sunfield, Nero always felt rather unimportant and at sometimes mocked by their elder brothers and sisters. He actually took no small pride in her sister's selection and grooming for a priestess, knowing full well it could improve his status in the family by proxy, but unlike him, Sult was actually more interested into foolery than gaining personal status among the family. Feeling betrayed by one of the closest people to him in his entire family, Nero's mood quickly darkened as he watched the lackadaisical jester of his sister trounce every single plan set before her. Instead of helping him rise in status, she did the exact opposite thing. At this point, Nero turned to his own personal growth and training more ferouciously than ever.
  
  After, who else would help him advance if his dear twin sister refused to even do so?
  
  However it was soon clear that if he were to reach his fathers and sisters, he would need to eschew the usual knighting routes and ordinary warfare, and his eyes turned to other ventures: Punitive expeditions. Monster slaying. Orc Tribe culling. Nero would each time answer the call to bring his blade to the darkest corners of the kingdoms, going whenever others would refuse to set foot. Nothing was too dangerous or gruesome, as long as fortune and glory were to be had. The entire world was his battlefield, and it was his enemy as well. He rose in rank, by being the toughest, meanest of his fellows. Eventually, his exploits did not go unnoticed by his family or Thaln, and he was knighted in a fastous ceremony and granted the right to have his own score of troops, the Knights of the Raven.
  
  It was then when he caught word that his little sister had eventually joined the Iron Rose Knights...
• Equipment:
  
  Nero wears a black-painted full plate, with the only identifiable markings being a raven overimposed a sun in the chest. He sports a hand-and-half bastard sword in combat, and he has a shield with the same Sun Raven sigil. However, Nero has three knives hidden in his shield and waist, as a surprise weapon. He also sports a jug of flammable oil in the hip, and a Simple recurve bow in the back.
• Skills:

Jack of All, Master of One: While Nero is a good swordsman with his preferred bastard sword-and-shield configuration, all the life-and-death situations he has been into have imbued with a good knowledge of all other sorts of weapons, wether improvised or not.

Survival Skills: Nero is not a stranger to being stranded in the middle of the wilds with no backup, he can at least hunt his own food and use his bow acceptably.

Martial Arts (Assasination): Sometimes, even the most virtuous knight has to drop all pretenses and just focus on straight-up killing a target in the most efficient way. Nero actually learned assasination skills from less-than-reputable peers which allow him to kill targets only using his body as weapon. Needless to say, Nero doesn't like to show up this skill in front of witness and reputable duels.

Fire Sorcery: Nero, like his sister, had some talent for magic. He was a bit of a late-bloomer, though, and his control over it is still rather poor, although it is a good trumph card. Since he wasn't trained in a magical school and relied on shady magic users to learn, he also frowns from using this skill in reputable combat.

Cultured Strategist: Nero is well versed in History, and Martial Strategies. He also knows the importance of morale and charisma when leading troops.

@Themerlinhawk

I'm going to be moving the maids along with Marianne so we can make room for Vita's time skip.

[Themerlinhawk]

@harinezumikoukenThen in that case I'll sit tight i guess

[VitaVitaAR]

@AtomicNut: That seems fine.

[AtomicNut]

Okay now to step 2 . Mess with Sult and make nero claim he might make a betrothal proposition to one of the highborn ladies, namely Fanilly, Julianna or Marianne. Just for the sake of advancement and status. Should be fun.

[chukklehed]

I kind of want to see him try proposing to Chris.

"Marry-"

"No."

@AtomicNut

I am sure proposing to Fanilly would not go horribly wrong in any way and he would still be fully capable of having children afterwards.

@chukklehed

Not gonna happen, second rate noble. He is in for more status and stuff.

Such a jerk
