[OOC] Ebonfort

[Drache]

Thanks Twhirt! I'm always willing to RP with other Ebonfort peeps. Even if you don't want my character and just need some NPCs or something to bounce your character off of. Hit me up. :)

[Twhirtley]

Alright, I'm still sick today, so I'm gonna try and focus on finishing all of the city write-ups. If I do manage to get these all done in a timely fashion, I'll delve back into replies, so I appreciate the patience.

I've also created a Chatzy for Ebonfort found here us20.chatzy.com/15771038533536
This can be great for theorycrafting, rp plotting, questions, etc without flooding public chat. (I do ask you use a name at least similar to your username here)

Thanks yall!

Glast Anthology - Zael Glast has been created

[Drache]

Dragons are now available as a player race on the Ebonfort Wiki. The location of Pyresia has been posted as well.

I would be happy to answer questions or help anyone interested in creating a dragon character. Just PM me or hit my up on Skype (drache04) or in the Ebonfort chatzy.

[Twhirtley]

Congratulations to @Drache for earning a spot as Co-GM of Ebonfort. She is officially the Dragon Empress, and has authority to run quests and such. This does not mean abuse her or run her ragged. She is a person (and a dragon), and thus has her own time and post restraints.

[Bladewolf]

Congratulations @Drache!

[Twhirtley]

Congratulations to @Rekaigan for being promoted to Co-GM!

Same rules apply as I mentioned above. Thanks for being here and helpful from the beginning Kendo Master!

[Drache]

Thanks everyone, and congrats to @Rekaigan!

1st attempt: I apologize if the possessions/ledger are a bit cluttered.

Name: Chartose Treeshedder

Race: Charr | Gender: Male | Age: 26
Birthday: Mauven 21st 274 DM | Birthplace: Silent Rise | Resides in: Green Fall
Occupation: Mercenary

appearance

Personality:
Stubborn free-thinker, will often do things just to spite the will of the naysayers despite a complete lack of preparation or forethought.

History

Chartose was born along with an older sibling from a pair of Charr from Scream-watch, Ivan Treeshredder was a knight recovering from old-wounds, Lunette Gravepaw was a healer. They met after having his father's post moved to the quieter barracks of Green Falls, having their firstborn-son Vladimir shortly afterwards within the barracks. They quickly found an inexpensive home for their new family in Silent Rise. It was there they had Chartose.

Growing-up, Chartose had two older male figures of his species to look up to. Ivan would often fill his head with stories of grand fights, while Vladimir often taught him how to get in and out of mischief in the inhospitable forests. Or rather, tried.

One fateful night on Saffra 42nd, 291 DM the two were out watching over some traps when the two dozed-off. Chartose was the first and only one to wake-up to the sound of his older brother getting mauled to death by a flying Chimera; shortly after narrowly escaping the ordeal with his life, his parents bought him a guard-dog which they named Becker. The two were inseparable. Chartose even bought a second, larger dog that could run with him upon its back and named her Tricia sometime in Vermillo 296 DM. One year later Ivan died of medical complications on Ceruleo 49th and Lunette went back to work in the Scream Watch barracks, never to be seen or heard of again. It was presumed that in her old age she couldn't make the trip.

In the years that followed, Chartose strove to be quite the able-bodied huntsman, but was a little too bold and foolhardy. It wasn't long until the small town of Silent Rise called a meeting, and offered to buy his home and provide him with provisions, so long as he left peacefully.

Ever since, he'd been living in the woods and off the land whenever possible despite setting-up a mailing-address for himself in Green Falls, either learning or inventing superstitions to keep the memories of his family alive. Every so often he'd rent an inn at Silent Rise, take collections, and offer them as charity to the wounded-knights recovering in the Green Falls barracks.

Review for How Much is That Doggie in the Window? is now posted! Congrats @Drache and @Twhirtley

[Twhirtley]

Alright, I'm on my 8 day break from work, I'm going to start doing some clean up, replies, as well as starting a few new things.

First things first, of the 5 Active Characters (Trix, Alya, Megumi, Rilana, and Vera), so far Trix, Alya, and Rilana have completed the required RPing for wages this season. Season ends Midnight PST Saturday. If you Megumi and Vera wish to collect their wages, they need to at least have started a work sort of story by then. I do apologize for the late heads up, but worst comes to worst, there's always next season.

Secondly, Zael and Foster are our newest characters. As such, I'll be starting RPs with them as GM. I do wish to see more of you RPing with one another without the need of a GM, it can be quite fun. So welcome yet again you two, and I hope you enjoy it here.

Thirdly, this next season I'll be starting Two new group quests, these ones will be longer, and will require a bit more time and dedication (and patience). These quests will be larger in scale and plot, but if your characters manage to make it through, the rewards will be greater.

Fourthly, NaNoWriMo starts soon. I want to do an Ebonfort sort of NaNo event. So what I'm thinking I will do is as follows. If you can reach 50,000 words in RP material with a single Ebonfort Character, you will gain a +50% (starting at Novice, lower for higher ranks) experience bonus in all of those RPs you've written. To track this, you can use whatever word count tool you'd like, and post it at the bottom of each post written in November. I'll keep a running total, and will be double checking these.

Fifthly, I will be doing my best to update more of the lore during this break, focusing on the city/village/magic and Screamer write ups first. If you have any specific requests, please let me know.

As usual, feel free to ask questions, comment, whatever.

[Bladewolf]

@Twhirtley Looking forward to it, and count me in for any upcoming quests.

[Rekaigan]

@Twhirtley I'm going to say that Megumi wasn't able to do any work due to her injuries from the Mauven Tournament. I would like to discuss (Preferably before the quests start) about Megumi's recovery from the injury with you. (ie. looking for a healer, etc.) I just have a few questions to ask you. We'll do it over PM or skype.

[Twhirtley]

A Sky Torn Asunder - Is now wrapped up, officially. This was ended early to keep plots moving, so it awaits review.

[Twhirtley]

Alright my todo list is quite simply today.

I'll be doing the wages soon for Trix, Alya, and Rilana.

I'll be doing a long overdue reply to Vera.

Then I'm gonna start the new things for Megumi, Rilana, Zael, and Chartrose.

I'm also gonna start my NaNo project which is the backstory for Warlord Keelie, an NPC Screamer.

Loan Repayment = 50% Profit = -763 GP
Common Living Expenses = 2GP/day = -122 GP
Dog Feed (5 CP/dog/day) x 2 dogs = -6 GP, 1 SP

Loan Info = 5875 GP Total - 763 GP = 5112 GP Remaining

Alya Eloen

GP per day = 2 GP/day
2 GP x 2 Journeyman rank x 61 Days (Mauven) = +244 GP
Poor Living Expenses = 2 SP/day = -12 GP, 2 SP
Dog Feed = 5 CP/dog/day = x 1 dog = -3 GP, 0 SP, 5 CP
Lodging, Inn, Poor = 2 SP/day = -12 GP, 2 SP

I'm not going to charge Vera, Stormgaze, or Lyriia, as they've only participated in GM posts that are partially completed or ended early. They will also, obviously not make money. This is only applicable to first run GM posts or quests. If they post for anything in the new season, they will be charged.

Zael and Chartrose won't be charged either as they are new and have not posted in the Mauven season. If you have any questions or concerns with any of this, please feel free to let me know here or in PM or wherever.

[Twhirtley]

A Chilling Message has been created, the prelude to the upcoming Frigmount quest, featuring one Rilana Aurorime'.

More will be coming shortly!

[xxrhoo]

I'll try to get a reply up to our RP when I get some more free time.

[Twhirtley]

@xxrhoo - No rush, I'm playing catch up as is haha

[Twhirtley]

Calendar of Ceruleo Events - is now posted. The Frigmount Expedition, as well as the New Vircastoria Mission are group quests, so feel free to sign up for those. If you wish to participate in any of the other things mentioned, hit me up and we'll work out something, be it a GM story, or me giving you details so you can write a solo, or something with another character.

I've messaged Foster and Bladewolf about their moderated quests starting soon, as well as waiting on Rekaigan to start his own.

I'm gonna catch up on what appears to be just the one reply I currently owe, then transferring lore from my notebook to the wiki.
