Me to....

@Emma

Hm? What just happened to make you do that?

[Kaalee]

@dndragons Well my character was written under the assumption that Manora had some sort of monarchy. Now I am having to rewrite basically her entire history.

Hm? What just happened to make you do that?

@dndragons

Yeah. My character Rupert has a whole lot to do with some of the other countries, and what I wrote for his bio, doesn't fit with the new info on the countries. I had assumed some things and came up with my own ideas about the countries, and when my characters were accepted I took that as a approval for my ideas from the GM cause they didn't say to change anything. My other character Catalina also has some mention of Manora, and religion, and Catalina's mother backstory I based of Manora being different secluded jungle kind of country. Anyway I'm not changing anything until tomorrow encase the GM adds more or takes other thing into consideration.

@Kaalee you could just keep it all the same and change Manora to one of the other countries.

[Aspen Wren]

There is still stuff to be added guys don't worry.

@Emma@dndragons
Okay guys, I know you had some concerns about having to rewrite characters and I'm working on updating things to match up a little better. I've already updated a few things so you guys can read through those. I will be updating things here and there during the day today.

[Nobodyman123]

Have room for one more?

Also, I was wondering if there were any rules/restrictions on having a character with military service. My character idea that I have is a ranking officer in Indra's Army. maybe a Lieutenant or a Captain.

[Emma]

I have no Idea about the military thing, but I do think that the GM is still accepting, as the IC is not even up yet.

[Nobodyman123]

@EmmaOk then. When I get home from work, I'll post something and see what sticks.

[Aspen Wren]

@Nobodyman123
Yes, on the military and we are still accepting. Keenan often awards titles to his most successful generals etc if you want to go that route if not just do whatever and I'll get him up on the roster.

@Emma@Kaalee@dndragons
Okay so I know I swore last night I'd have some stuff up but my older sister got rushed to the ER and had to have emergency surgery to have her gallbladder taken out so I had both of my nephews last night. Just leave your characters as they are and I'm going to go ahead and make and IC and I will work on the country details some more tomorrow when I have more time and sleep.

[Aspen Wren]

Okay so I've got an IC up, and please format your posts like I've done mine and color the name the same color as you do your character's words. It makes things much easier to read, especially if you use light colors like I've done.

[Kaalee]

So I am going to change my character, just because I already did it and I like this character better...

​

Name: Adalaide Tollemache
Age: 26
Rank: Marchioness of Donde
Personality: Adalaide is a bit of a live wire. She enjoys her parties and 'forming questionable impressions upon the youth of today'. If she wasn't a Marchioness, a widow, and a very rich one at that, she more than likely would have been shunned ages ago but she's built up a circle and is one of the more popular ladies when it comes to Court. She has a wit and isn't afraid to show it, but has a temper worse than a drunk's and a sharp tongue to back it.
History: Adalaide is not a naive of Indra, but rather born in Escova, she and her twin sister were the only daughters of seven children born to one of the major war lords of the area, and his wife who was a high born Fresian but ran away to live in Escova and eventually marry Adalaide's father. When Adalaide and her twin sister were finished nursing, they were sent to the Emperor as wards. They were treated as Princesses though. The Emperor was very fond of the both of them and Adalaide's sister married one of the Emperor's nephews, but Adalaide was asked to marry outside of the kingdom, since she was a clever little diplomat since a young age. She avoided marriage until she was 19, when finally the emperor insisted she marry. She chose to become betrothed to the Marquess of Donde, an aging gentlemen who just needed to secure political alliances with Escova since a vast majority of his land bordered the mountains her father's people inhabit and he wanted protection. Adalaide adored her husband, as he adored her both content in the friendship they secured by this marriage. He taught her how to be a proper Indran noble woman, and she taught him the culture of her land. Unfortunately, when she was twenty two, only three years into her marriage, her husband passed in his sleep. His nephew who inheirited the land, was a devilish rake who was off galavanting as far away as he could be. He claimed, when notified of his uncle's passing, that he 'couldn't be bothered less of his passing and that as long as Adalaide didn't drain his coffers or try to emulate the Bloody Baroness, she could do whatever her heart desires.' Adalaide moved herself to the center of Indra's court, where she quickly became one of the most popular ladies in court, partly because she chose to worm her way to the center, partly because she was considered exotic by most due to her upbringing in Escova and that traditions she brought to court.

You are good to go.

@LadyTale
Since I forgot to mention you before.

Here is my CS


Name: Julien De Guesclin, Marquis of Broceliande
Age: 27
Rank: Marquess/ Major in the Indra's Light Rifles

Personality: One could not guess that Julien was a man of status and nobility upon first meeting him. For a noble, he is rather blunt and would rather talk to someone directly as opposed to the drudgery and mind games of court politics. Those who get to know him will find he is a man of fine humor and generosity, but sometimes awkward and irreverent at the exact wrong times. This is especially true when it comes to women.

History: When Julien was fifteen, his father bought him a commission in the Army, and served in a regiment of light infantry. These men are far from dashing and chivalrous, and are rough and tumble fighters and wild revelers. Naturally, this is not exactly the sort of environment for a wide eyed young boy, but Julien adapted and ended up thriving in his new environment. He gained the respect of his men, as well as skill in the use of arms. After twelve years of service, he was allowed to return home to Broceliande and take care of his now ailing father. Due to his father's weakened state, Julien has legally been given the title of Marquis, as he has no brother's or older relatives to take the title. Now, Julien finds himself in the terrifying arena of politics, and he finds himself more than a little unprepared.

Extra: Julien is an expert shot, and he enjoys hunting trips in the countryside. Also, while an average rider, he is not terribly fond of horses (They bite).

Sorry for the delay. I've been busy with serious work.

[Emma]

Grandmother from hell made a surprise visit (kill me now). You guys are going to have to go on without me. Hopefully she'll leave soon, and I can come back to this.

[LadyTale]

@Emma Oh, dear. I hope you can come back soon!
