[OOC] Queens Guard: the Iron Company [semi-realistic medieval RP]

[Partisan]

No, not that I know of. He's just an enthousiastic RPer I think. :P

[Pathfinder]

I apologize but I'm afraid I need to bow out. Have fun you guys.

[IncredibleBee]

Alright, I fleshed out Isolde's history a bit more.

[Partisan]

Bee, can I ask you how you envision leading us? You do not want conflict with your brother, but then what would you hire a mercenaries company for? If you want to talk to me about possible plots you can imagine like that, feel free to PM me about it. Until then I cannot really accept you, cause I need to know more.

Please don't take it as an insult though, I think you would be well suited as a queen although I had an aggressive queen in mind, who'd wish to take back the throne. Instead, you seem perfectly contend sitting in Stags Rest, biding your days doing nothing. While that can work, you/we'd need to work out some things to keep it interesting, if you understand that?

[Professor_Wyvern]

cAlright! Did the editing for my guy. And gave him a new 'flavor'. I'm not sure how -far- you'd want the lands from which he comes from to be further away from Aron, which I can easily edit in, alongside anything else I may need to edit/change.

[Professor_Wyvern]

-D-D-DOUBLE POST-

[Partisan]

Yeah, so the RPG is acting up again. If you post, and get white screen, that means your post has been posted. It just takes time to show up. I learned this the hard way by posting 5x in a row in the same thread, with the same message. Don't be like me.

Wyvern, thanks for changing. I'll have a look.

[IncredibleBee]

It's not that she's not going to take back the throne- it's her birthright, after all. She just has qualms about, y'know, killing her brother. That's not something people do on a whim.
Rest assured, taking back her place as queen is still the end goal, and hiring mercenaries to supplant her troops (because she really needs a guard should Godwin decide to send a raid her way) is a means to that end.
Moreover, I wanted to play someone relatively soft spoken, with a gentle, more feminine visage. I understand if that might seem to clash with what you envisioned for the leader of a ragtag army, but that was my intention. Despite appearing frail and effeminate, she's still going to work towards those goals.

[Professor_Wyvern]

Yeah, sometimes it does that, but uh yeah. Tell me anything you'd want edited, changed and such, er and what not.

No, it is actually much much better. I kind of envision these people as riders, using a lot of horses. however that's up to you though, I just think riding across the desert is easier than walking. I like the character, if you have no further additions you wanna make I will accept him.

I can envision, but her brother had no problems with taking her throne. He didn't seem bothered at all, actually. I can see where she's coming from -- but she took her birthright. Either way it might work, I'll wait until tomorrow to brainstorm it a bit and come up with ideas before I give my verdict, maybe I'll have a moment of clarity and envision it better. After all I need to set my sight to your side, seeing how it might work for a more frail and feminine person to do this. I hope you can be patient with me. If you have any ideas or suggestions feel free to PM.

Most Desert Tribes use the local camels, and are usually wandering herders and archers/spears based with their weaponry.

As for Atl, I don't think I have anything else to add at the moment.

[Partisan]

The camels sound good. Original, exotic to western-based countries like ours.. if you'd like you could add an explanation why the Iron Company attacked the slave traders, because slave trading/slavery itself is legal in these lands. That aside, I'm gonna add him to the list now.

[IncredibleBee]

I've actually already been thinking about how I can take back the throne. The general tactics I'll use, and such. Some of them actually work better for someone with a cute face, charm, and grace.

Oh sure, I'll add the reason why the Iron Company attacked the Slave Traders.

[Partisan]

But do they work for someone with a mercenary army at their disposal? I mean, we're like fifty guys/gals, but still.

[Vern]

I've PM'd my idea for a character to you, Partisan. I've been watching this RP for a while and really like the look of it. I'd love to get involved! If the characters fits, hopefully I can get a CS up tomorrow.

[IncredibleBee]

Of course they do. There is always use for soldiers with this sort of thing. I just have to be careful how I use them.

[Professor_Wyvern]

And added in the reason the Iron Company attacked the slavers.

Make sure to make him walk around asking what *insert item* is called in their language, or calling the Queen chieftain in a court, causing all the nobles to go 'uhhhh..'
