[OOC] The Shadows of Aeios

KnightsTemplar said
Well, if not legion coomand, how about Royalblood line/Kinght?

If you mean with Royal blood line, that of the Divini (the ruling House of the Empire), then no. For now the highest classes are the Rynirs. Once we have managed to get some characters and the story is going well, I might open up a new province with new Houses and such. But for now, this is the starting choices.

---

Personality :
Breena is a kind and open minded woman. Down to earth and calm, Breena often comes across as uncaring to strangers, but her family knows she simply does not stress the small things. At times she can be spontaneous, often worrying her over protective husband Richard. Young at heart, but having a good balance of wisdom and life expirences makes her also wise when she needs to be. She likes to avoid conflicts but when pressed, one may find her temper can flare up unexpectedly.

History :
Breena grew up in a family of Nomads traders. Traveling and staying in many different places helped her family's wealth grow over time. Wherever they went, the family consisted of her father, mother, grandmother, and her as the only spoiled child. Eventually the family made their way to Hials where her grandmother opened a tailoring shop that was an instant success, and it ended up selling clothes to people coming from far away towns and capitals. After many years growing up there, at the young age of 13 her mother and father came down with a mysterious and uncureable disease. They both died within a week of contracting it. Though very sad, Breena and her grandmother lived happily enough, content until the day she took over for her grandmother, who now spends her days gardening.

During her time working with her grandmother, she met a young man named Richard who she ended up falling madly in love with at first sight. After playing hard to get for a while, at 17 he proposed to her. To which she happily said yes. Now husband to the man of her dreams and mother to a little girl named Alicia that is so much like him, Breena continues to thank the gods for her life and the lives of her family.

Name :
Horizontal Loom

Description :
Used to help the weaving process of making clothes go by faster. A weaver would sit at a mechanized loom, and instead of threading the weft in front of and behind alternate warps by hand, he'd merely have to press a foot pedal to raise up one set of alternate warps and draw the weft underneath it in one straight pass. Then he'd press the other pedal, which would raise the other set of warps, and draw the weft underneath that in the other direction. To make this process easier, a shuttle was used -- a boat-shaped tool that contained yarn wound around a bobbin. The shuttle would glide easily over the bottom set of warps as the yarn unspooled.

Aideth Rynir

Name :
Aideth Rynir of House Rynir
Nicknames :
“Rolor’s Mistress” is the name she has been given in battle.
Gender :
Femme
Age and birthday :
July 30th, 1278
24 years
Origin :
Daughter of The Former head of the Rynir Family, Iridite and Levin Rynir

Length and build :
Height: 5’8
Build: Sturdy, with shoulders that could hold up a shelf on their own. This does not sacrifice curves, however, an addition which she tends to use to her advantage in battle.
Weight :
173lbs (Mostly in muscle)
Sexuality :
Many are uncertain. Aideth does not openly express her sexuality, leading many to wonder if she has a sex drive at all. Servants of House Rynir, however, know her to be heterosexual, finding out under uncanny circumstance in catching Aideth gazing lustfully at portraits of the God Rolor in the midst of tutoring.

---

Appearances :
In Battle:

Amongst nobles:

Aideth is a Golden haired beauty who is never seen without armor and weapons at close hand, even amongst nobles. This ensures her to be ready to fight at a moments notice. Her eyes are an ever changing hazel, shifting shades according to her mood and current scenario whilst never drifting far from their basic color. Sturdy, busty, and curvy, she uses all of her body’s attributes to aid her in battle, such as sensually distracting an opponent with her assets or using the element of surprise with just how strong her body truly is. Many are intimidated by her height, being so tall for a woman, but she merely sees it as another asset to intimidate her foes.

---

Occupation :
A Centurion for the Legion, A title she earned after her fathers death. At the time, she was an Optio fresh out of the Academy and stepped forth to take upon herself the burden of a Centurion, only after proving her own worth as well.

Favorite phrase/saying :
“When in shame, lower your blade. When ashamed, strike the coward that placed guilt into your heart.”

Favorite Food :
Expensive wine with the finest cuts of steak.
Favorite Weather and Season :
All weather is good if it means training, but the season she most prefers is the Autumn, when blood stains the colors of the leaves it is truly a breathtaking harmony of shades.

Patron God/Goddess :
She has always prayed to the God Rolor. Since she was a child she dreamed of going into battle, and in her teen years found herself blushing at the very thought of meeting him in person (not unlike a fangirl to her favorite band.) As the years passed she has become more infatuated with Rolor, and sometimes questions if she actually loves the god not in a spiritual way, but in a way only a lover can.
Her obsession and desire for the God of War, his mark around her neck on a small chain, has earned her her nickname in battle.

---

Personality :
Aideth is… difficult to say the least. In a normal situation, Aideth is level headed, stubborn, and quiet. She silently takes in her surroundings and the slide of her eyes could cut throats. As the head of the Rynir family, she has learned to be firm, and to listen to the demands of her fellow houses. However, in battle she is the most ruthless and wild woman you may ever lay eyes on. She is as merciless as she is beautiful. So much so that stories have spread like wildfire, exaggerating the tales of Rolors Mistress. She will never confirm nor deny such stories.
If there is ever a chance to clash silver swords over silver tongues, Aideth will be the first to apprehend the opportunity. This makes her arrogant in one sense, but it’s the reason she’s still alive. No, she isn’t perfect, but she doesn’t need to be. What matters most is protecting the nation… no matter what.

“The hardest thing to distinguish…is the line between honesty and cruelty.”

Favorite Food :
She loves cake of any flavor.

Favorite Weather and Season :
Hail and winter

Patron God/Goddess :
Carios, God of Trade and Travel

---

Personality :
Elora is a carefree young woman who enjoys working hard and reading books. She is known for her friendly attitude and sympathetic tendencies, but can come off as harsh because of her brutal honesty and inability – and unwillingness – to lie. While lacking charisma, she makes up for it with her geniality and general easy-going vibe. She wishes to open up a bakery because of her love for sweets and bread and her culinary skills. However, she is not passionate about a lot of things. She lacks motivation and does what she wants. She has no drive for her future and, whilst having a dream, would rather settle for inheriting her family’s business. Elora loves extravagant things and can be quite materialistic, though she tries not to be.

History :
Edlund Nicholi was a man with education in business and Edna Gregaris was a naïve woman with skills in tailoring. When they met, they opened up a tailoring shop and became clothe merchants. Two years into their business, Edna gave birth to Elora whom they began to raise to take over the family business. They taught her how to tailor, how to conduct business, and prepped her. When Elora was eight, the business began to rise and became a prominent tailor shop; the family soon became rich. Elora developed a taste for the lavish and was spoiled and doted on. This is what caused her lack of motivation, since everything was given to her.
When she was twelve, Elora became interested in the culinary arts and tried a hundred different dishes to experience the many tastes. Her parents, while they usually supported her in everything, were dismayed and embarked on many schemes to dissuade her from the culinary path. Their daughter was oblivious of these plans and went on her merry way. Upon reaching the age of seventeen, her parents had another goal in mind as well – finding Elora a future husband. The redhead was uninterested in the opposite sex and stayed in a cocoon of ignorance of the advances some have made. Presently, Elora works for her parents at the tailor shop.

I get that its a WIP, but I wish to say that the Head of the Rynirs is already being made. That position can't thus be taken for now. Maybe it can be a goal for in the story. Furthmore I wish to quickly review this part, as I do want to make it a bit clear that it will put you in a big disadvantage, unlike you might think :

Aideth is a Golden haired beauty who is never seen without armor and weapons at close hand, even amongst nobles. This ensures her to be ready to fight at a moments notice. Her eyes are an ever changing hazel, shifting shades according to her mood and current scenario whilst never drifting far from their basic color.

Many are intimidated by her height, being so tall for a woman, but she merely sees it as another asset to intimidate her foes.

Wearing armor all the time can make others, certainly nobles think less off you. They will even stop seeing you as a female. Cause which female, no matter what profession wears armor all the time? At least in their eyes ''true females''. That and using her assets to surprise her foes? I am not sure how that will work out. Lets take an example :

When fighting against a soldier or enraged barbarian, I doubt it will help much when you will reveal an ''asset''. It will more less put your guard down and get a blade shoved into that ''asset''.

I wish to help out with pointing that out. In this RP realisme is almost akin to our own world. Such tactis might be fun in less serious RP's and settings, but here it will get your character easily killed.

Aideth

While I have no problems with female members of society going to war, I have found several gross anachronisms in your CS that I have to adjust as the nitpicky and annoying GM.

"Aideth is a Golden haired beauty who is never seen without armor and weapons at close hand, even amongst nobles. This ensures her to be ready to fight at a moments notice. Her eyes are an ever changing hazel, shifting shades according to her mood and current scenario whilst never drifting far from their basic color.

Many are intimidated by her height, being so tall for a woman, but she merely sees it as another asset to intimidate her foes."

This is the part that bugs me, along with the pictures if you also intend to use that as her armour. the rest looks nicely done.

1) First of all, ewww, gross animre pictures of chainmail bikinis. Nope. ;)

2) Secondly, armour is made to protect the body. To do that it has an external layer meant to guide away weapons from the body, or stop them entirely (chainmail, coat-of-plates, plate armour, the outside, what you see). Underneath that is a 'soft' layer of padding meant to catch some or ideally most of the blunt trauma, the pure force a hit to your armour transfers into your body after stopping the weapon itself. (So, a hard hit on your arm while wearing chainmail won't leave you with a partially severed limb, but with a bruised or broken one) As a result, armour tends to be rather bulky and thick-looking because of the equivalent of a modern thick winter coat underneath (except in the case of plate armours, who had no gambesons but doublets underneath that were custom-made for the type of armour usually). As a result, there will not be much 'curvature' to show off with. To give you a great example, here is a link to someone on DeviantArt who draws 'historically accurate' AND practical females in armour. Gambargin is his name. Additionally, this is about the max amount of curve you will see. (And to be honest, she still has a rather slender waist in this picture)

Tada!

3) Because of said facts, you cannot use your feminine attributes to distract your enemies in battle, lest you intend to die when someone looks at you because of your lack of practical armour or decent facial protection. I advise you to carry a big shield should you decide to pick the latter, arrows are your new arch-enemy.

4) You would not be able to distract a combatant with 'sensual manouvres' in a battlefield. I do reenactment, and I fight against women aswell as men. When fighting, you don't stare at boobies, you hope you don't get fucked up. Maybe in an isolated case you can attempt this, butyou'd have to be fighting unarmoured as a start to achieve that.

Please take my nagging with a kind heart and don't send dropbears after me. Or female reenactors with spears. Damn I still carry that mark on my knee (see signature), I hope she does too @___@

I understand. I will change things as you say. However I hope you know I'm not just trying to go full out attention whore with assets or whatever... That was an actual tactic used by Asian countries in battle. But, I digress. I will keep working on it.

[Lucius Cypher]

Not during battle. You want to distract them before the battle, sure, but during the battle they tend to think about kill first, boobs a distance fifth.

[Apokalipse]

ALSO, ALSO I might point out that there were no female samurais. But there were geishas....(This is where my knowledge of Japanese history - not even all of Asia, just Japan. That's how small my knowledge is. I blame American schools because they teach like ZILCH about Asia. Unless it has something to do with America...and then they will give like a centimeter of a page dedicated to Asia. Really, Asia is just neglected in history in the US.)

The Art of War was cool, though.

[ReaptheMusic]

Actually, I was referring mostly to Kunoichi. I admit, I heard it from an unreliable source, but it does make sense for the battle style.... and it wouldn't here vuv I am glad i was caught there, it simply wouldn't work here.

Well, ninja are a different story. I mean, they were only around for a small period of time, before they were wiped out. Also, ninja are different from soldiers. Ninja are more like secret agents, at times, whilst soldiers are....well, soldiers. Ninja went undercover. Kunoichi seduced men, not during battle, but at different times (and they could be disguised as geishas). Ninja are not really soldiers at all. They did diversions, started fires, and hid in trees while attacking. Also, they didn't wear revealing clothes - even the kunoichi - while not undercover. They wore that ninja outfit in black, dark blue, and green (sometimes white, considering the environment) which was practical because of the hidden compartments and room to move.

Sorry, don't mean to come off as rude (:

[ReaptheMusic]

no no, not at all. You're right. Ninja were more the 'slit your throat while you sleep' kind of assassins, which is why I have a bit more respect for the Samurai way of life.
