For centuries our land has been plagued by an infectious darkness carried by demonic shadows we call, "Cimmerians". No one seems to recall their origin, and all our folklore is written in such ancient texts that even our brightest scholars cannot fully decipher its mysteries. All we know is that war has ravaged Valeriya and will continue on its course unless we do something to extinguish it. That's where the Reckoning comes into play. Everyone knows that on your eighteenth birthday you are required to participate in the ritual. Choose your goblet, draw from the fountain, and wait for water to show you your destiny. You've got four possible outcomes: Mercenary, Harbinger, Practitioner, or Familiar. Not everyone is super thrilled about their outcome, but the Mystics let us make the final call. Go with your recommendation, or choose your own path. Sure Mercenaries do most of the fighting, Harbingers serve as scouts and reconnaissance, Practitioners are the medical geniuses, and Familiars stay behind enemy lines and care for the towns, but there's a place for everyone in this war. It's only together that we will accomplish any victory. Midnight; time for my Reckoning.

-FIRST... this is a ROUGH ROUGH draft of an idea jagajac and I came up with the other night together.
-We would need at least 4 other players to show interest in order to make this happen
-We are open to suggestions/ideas from others
-Of the three main classes, called Estuaries, the Harbinger and Practitioner leaders will be played by jagajac and me
-Once part of an Estuary, you also obtain a "Vein" which is a beast or creature that aids your player in the field
-Relationships will be encouraged... more specifics on this later
-Ummm, there's probably more we should mention, but our brains are fried at the moment
-Ask us questions!

Interesting. So fate has an outcome on your "Job" of sorts, is it? Let me ask then, is it possible someone would actively go out of their way to practise the arts of a different job instead of their own? As you clearly stated, some aren't thrilled with their outcome. Or maybe use their job in a different way than the norm? Anyway, I actually really like this idea. Interest from me.

[GingerBoi123]

I'm interested! Count me in as a Harbinger!

@Ammokkx

Well the way it basically works is you turn 18, you are given a job, you either take that job or choose one of the others. So if you come from a family of Harbingers then you'll probably get that job, but say your character has a heart for medicine, then they can choose Practitioner instead.

@SUN

Ah, I see. That clears that much up, at least. That's a little less fun than what I imagined it, but still neat.

[Zaresto]

Interested.

@Ammokkx

Playing off what SUN already explained, I think it would be alright for someone to use their job in a different way than the norm. That opens up a lot of creative outlets for players looking for a little more freedom.

@GingerBoi123

YAAASSS, I've recruited someone for my team! Take that, SUN :p

[jagajac]

Interested.

@Zaresto

YAAAY!

[NightmareInd]

This sounds cool. I like to be a Harbinger if possible.

@jagajac

Whatever...Practitioners get a better range of interaction!

[GingerBoi123]

@SUNA crossbow bolt is all the interaction I need.

@GingerBoi123

Crossbows are overrated. The real strength lies in a good old fashioned bow.

[GingerBoi123]

@NightmareIndNothing can compare to the beauty of a piercing arrow fired from your own strength

[SUN]

We still need a Mercenary leader!

[Ammokkx]

...Everyone is so violent. And here I thought the "Scouting" part was the most appealing... As in, y'know, the job?

Edit: I can vouch for being a merc, but a leader? I'd need some heavy GM-interactin' to know what I'm supposed to do there. Otherwise I'd be fine with it.

[jagajac]

Right now, including SUN and me, we have 6 players interested. I'm playing a Harbinger, and 2 others have expressed interest in this Estuary as well. SUN will be playing a Practitioner. Just wanna make sure we keep these numbers semi-balanced. We also will be in need of a leader figure for the Mercenaries, since SUN and I have already taken the other slots. We will work on a rough draft character sheet in the meantime.

[GingerBoi123]

@AmmokkxI'm sure you can do it.
