[OOC] CLOSED/MAY REBOOT IN FUTURE

[Jangel13]

Ah got it I'll change it to a servant coming to spread the word

[Jangel13]

Changed it but again I don't know what I can really do as an enforcer

[Viciousmarrow]

@Jangel13 You can do more than what a Kyres can, but less than an Adjutant. Basically, you're like a Sergeant in the military. You have some power, but only over the lower ranks. Enforcers make up the brunt of the militant part of the Coven.

I'll summarize each rank as best I can.

Aspirant: You're an intern, basically. You do the very, very menial jobs that servants do.

Novice: This is an entry level position where you finally start learning the basics of the House, like who to respect, who to not approach, etc. This where you learn the general knowledge of being a Vampire, and you are required to go through the Academy. Novices are everyone's bitch.

Kyres: You've finally made it! You've learned the basics and now you can go under someone's wing, choosing to specialize in something if you so wish. For example, a Malkavian could specialize in bargaining, diplomacy, intimidation, and charm, but not necessarily limited to just that. They are also in charge of helping Aspirants and Novices.

Enforcer: You have made strides in the House and are now a vaguely familiar face, who has a good sense of their specialties. They assist in teaching the lower ranks how to defend themselves, and they make up the backbone of the House's militant force.

Adjutant: You are now part of the family, albeit treated as a distant cousin. They will probably know at least your first name by now. You are essentially a squire/assistant to a Guardian. This person is someone who you admire and furthers your training in your specialty.

Guardian: The higher ups have finally noticed you, and you are now welcomed wholeheartedly into the family. The Elder will treat you as a foster child, with love and dignity, but not as much as his true children, the Prelates. You are in charge of making sure nothing goes wrong. The lower ranks will come to you first and foremost for most issues. Not only are you in charge of training an Adjutant, you make sure Enforcers are doing their job correctly, the Kyres aren't doing anything beyond their level, the Novices aren't killing themselves, and that Aspirants aren't murdered or running off to other Houses. By far, this is the hardest and most stressful rank.

Prelate: Congratulations! You have endured hell, and the Elder now regards you as a true child of themselves! You are a direct adviser to the Elder and you know more about personal affairs in their life. You communicate with the Guardians and pass down direct orders. You have complete freedom, but you are in charge of supervising the whole shebang and directing major events and missions. However, you have more important things to do than talk to the lower ranks, so you must keep your Guardians in line. At times, you may make a special appearance to a notable Guardian and prepare them to ascend to Prelate.

@Viciousmarrow

Worst job award goes to all you Guardians out there! WOO THAT'S ME xD

[Jangel13]

Makes sense in a front line troop with a squad under my wing to teach and help. Am I right?

[LovelyComplex]

@Jangel13 Yeah. Basically protect the lower ranks. Teach them how to fight. But also make sure they don't get killed. You are liable for them and if they make a mistake, you will be punished along with them.

[Jangel13]

Ah now I got it. Makes much more sense thanks :)

[Neko Sensei]

And now what? Do I just wait until someone from Grangrel comes to meet my character?

[LovelyComplex]

@Neko Sensei Well when Viciousmarrow and I get a chance, after we're done with our characters' posts. We're too tired to write, at the moment. We'll have an Event post (this will occur periodically). If none of your characters went forth to look for something to do, we will cause something to happen which would make your character get out the house (a task) or have them deal with a situation in their current position. Of course, we do hope once everyone is deeper into the roleplay they'll make events happen, have more inspiration, and interact with other people on their own accord.

We have some things already in mind for a couple of characters.
However, if you don't want to sit and do nothing, you could write another post and get your character out there. Gives Viciousmarrow and I more opportunities to throw random occurrences at your characters.

Imagine this like Dungeons and Dragons. You go inside a forest and you decide to make camp there. Suddenly, we throw wolves at you and you have to defend yourself. You can also give other people an opportunity to enter your event (A vampire hunter is walking around and hears a gunshot, they run to find your character fighting off wolves)

You could also be a cause for an event to occur. For example, you stole a very important possession from another vampire, but you left your scent behind. You're being hunted throughout the entire game now until they find you.

Or another one, you start a riot during a major London festival. xD Chaos is everywhere.

We are all storytellers and can cause havoc to the plot. :) Just make sure some of the things you do aren't completely insane and out of your character (you can PM me to see if some of your actions are okay)

[BlackPanther]

I give full permission to mess with Vikas XD

[Neko Sensei]

I might go out there and try to find Vikas then. I thought the other vampires in my house would come for a meeting or something, but it seems they won't, so I'll go seeking adventures somewhere else. xD

[LovelyComplex]

@Neko Sensei Well it's the Grangrel house xD everyone is out for themselves. Amaury tells you to do something, you go out and do something. Unless you're friendly with someone in the house, I doubt any Grangrel would tell you what they have in mind to impress Amaury.

Just remember, your character is a Adjutant. So you're like a major assistant to a Guardian. So if they pop out of nowhere and demand you to do something for them, you best do it xD. Until more people join, you can create a NPC Guardian, and from time to time, Vicious and I will take over him to give you duties.

[luclovers]

@lovely complex@Neko Sensei

Or I can order him around

[LovelyComplex]

@luclovers @Neko Sensei Oh yeah. There you go Laurent, you're Elizabeth's bitch from this point on xD

Sorry, totally forgot Grangrel had a Guardian already

[Neko Sensei]

I might do that, creating a Guardian NPC. The problem is that Laurent is a bit of a rebel and doesn't like taking orders. In fact, he's the type that believes himself to be the boss and goes around giving orders to others even if his rank shouldn't allow him to do that.

[LovelyComplex]

@Neko Sensei well you won't need a NPC anymore since there's actually a roleplayer Guardian in Grangrel. This gives you a chance to interact with another roleplayer. Also good luck being bossy in a Grangrel House. You'll get stabbed multiple times and bleed out xD

[Neko Sensei]

Hmm... I'll think what to do tomorrow. But if you think that my boy will act submissive to anyone you're totally wrong. xD

[LovelyComplex]

@Neko Sensei As a Grangrel, everyone is on a power trip but it's the worst house to step out of line. You have an evil dictator as a leader xD. Viciousmarrow and I have yet to show you all what Amaury is made of. The higher up you are, the more heartless you'll get. So don't think for a second Amaury won't kill his entire house if they don't behave, so Elizabeth and any Guardian and Prelate of that house has a lot to maintain, and you will become shit flushed down the toilet xDD. It's hard to get away with things in this house unless you gained Amaury's respect. If your character can't learn to know the time and place to be a leader, he'll learn very quick and fast. You're signing your character up for hell.

Elizabeth has full permission to tortore your character.

Plus if you want to get near Amaury, submission is the quickest way xD

[LovelyComplex]

@Neko Sensei Basically, you need to be realistic. If this was a school. You wouldn't go up to your principal and be like FUCK YOU. You'd get expelled.
You chose a dictator Household, so you have to do things in secret, not blatantly. The whole thing about Grangrel is to be cunning, not obviously rebellious. That's more of a Ventrue thing. You can still be a rebel, just be a rebel with a cause. Do things more planned and privately.

[BlackPanther]

permission to mess with vikas is to everyone of course XD
