@shylarah Are we going by IRL for the Sir/Dame part? Because actually, if a woman is knighted, she is still a sir, strangely enough.

@Leaves You need to choose a hair colour, an item, and a skill.

Being a totally sauve ladie's man, Richard is always prepared. Thinking ahead, he decides to bring his actual, real life BEAR CLAW in case he needs to show off, or perhaps just for luck. He looks in his sidebag: Now, what to pack?

Dick Grant packs...(Pick one)
>BANDAGES, to heal wounds during the journey ahead.
>WHISKEY, to steal himself against the horrors that await him.
>DYNAMITE, to throw at them b*stards when they rear their ugly heads.

Bandages regain HP, Whiskey regains sanity, and Dynamite does damage. The Bear Claw is your personal item - Mae will likely tell you what it can do once the picture is finalised, if the past says anything.

Now, Dick's pretty skilled at tickling those ivories. He's got a particular trick up his sleeve he's picked up from his favourite Saloon...

>Acrobatic Dodge: You may move through other characters during your combat movement. One per turn, you may reroll one failed defense roll.
>Knockout Punch: Once per hit, you may double the damage on one of your attacks.
>Dirty Fightin': All of your attacks are +1 Damage.

This is your personal skill, which everyone gets. For me, I get two dice rolls with a bonus of one movement, because I chose Cavalry Scout. Scarescrow chose Hardened Resolve, which boosted Scare's sanity up to 12 instead of the standard 10.

>Aaron blinks and looks at Scare. There is only one way forward in this tunnel. Aaron moves to F7, and is determined not to let anybody pass until the whole group has caught up.

(2+1, I suppose, since that uses up all the movement I have, and I would like for the group to actually be able to stay together)

@Akayaofthemoon No, I think I'll step back on this one. Like I said, if nobody else had wanted to, I could have taken the load. After all, the man is incredibly important to the story. Which is why I step back - I don't think I could actually get as quirky as the Hatter

Creid is definitely the ladder.

@Lovejoy

So basically people climb him to get power.

He has long taught us that the SA is to be respected as a force of brave soldiers, and not pawns. He's also brought in allies from the SA to teach us combat stuff, so I feel like our class would probably be more open-minded about the SA. That depends on your character's perspective though.

Would Wyvern be the same?

Also, there is a ranking hierarchy within the inquisition itself, besides the existence of a "bishop". Now, I honestly haven't put too much thought into this and have treated it as more of a casual thing, but I guess now would be a good a time to discuss it as any.

So, our teachers and the like are obviously of a higher rank than us, but I'm not sure how to denote that. Should there be "classes"? For example, maybe Creid's official rank is Divine Inquisitor 1st Class, while ours would be Divine Inquisitor 3rd Class?

Any thoughts?

Well, since we're already separated into different Warbands, you could use generations to classify them. Like, Varya's first inquisitors were the first generation. The ones they trained were the second, and so on until today. Once you get to a certain age, you can't rise any more in rank, but you still have an immense amount of respect from others. There'd be logbooks of the Warband names alongside their generation, so names could feasibly be more than once.

There's also names, like you mentioned. A Bishop is the highest rank for them, yes? Well, you could have Master Inquisitor as your teachers, Knight Inquisitor for your generals, Grand Inquisitor for those with political power, and then just plain old Inquisitor for the newly anointed. Instead of having ascending rank, you get shunted into each box depending on what you can do - so it would really just allow rumours to spread on name alone.

As for a civilian portion of the Church, I see everyone in the clergy who isn't an inquisitor as being part of the clerical branch. As for their hierarchy, I haven't really come up with anything besides: Acolyte --> Monk/Nun --> Priest --> Vicar --> Cardinal --> High Cardinal --> Primus

If anyone's got any ideas about this too let me know.

This seems good to me - Acolytes, Monks and Nuns would be your most plentiful, then Priests, the experienced or talented becoming Vicars, and the subsequently Cardinal and High Cardinal in few and fewer numbers so only a bare number hold the power.

@Akayaofthemoon@Majoras End@AngelofOctober

Clearly one of us has to change. I would've been good to take on the role, too - though only if nobody else turned up. (We may also have lost Furiosa... they haven't checked in yet. The Red King, I'm not so sure about myself playing - I'm not good at being a 'bad guy'.)

Ban the Person above you

Banned for hating SAO. It has its faults, but it's good.

@rocketrobie2 Yeah, I noticed. I was trying my hand at comedy ^_^;

@Mae

>Aaron packs the herbs away in his side bag, before stepping forward to F2, and lightly smacking Father C upside the head, since it was his stepping into the room that triggered the trap... though, admittedly, Aaron was the only one to fall for the trap. He then proceeds to check the two of them for any injuries that might need healing.

Also... I present to you my second character; she has a lot of detail, which I apologise for, but we did go through a number of rounds last time, and I was fingers a-flyin' when I was writing it up - I cut some more details out along the way, too.

>Oh, hey! The name’s Jamie Hart. And I'm a girl, if you hadn’t already guessed. I mean, I don’t judge. Though, once we have enough in the bank, it’ll be Jamie Goldfeld instead. Yes, I’m Aaron fiance - I have the ring to prove it. But don’t expect me to be delicate or dainty. I was born with dark skin and black hair, which I braid down over my right shoulder, and I have bangs across my forehead. I’ve grown it out to my elbow, and there’s actually this one strand at my temple which I’ve dyed bright red, the same colour as my lipstick. I wear a dark green blouse, with sleeves halfway down my forearm, and fingerless gloves. My boots are only slightly heeled, but they’re a nice, pale brown, and make it up to my shins. I generally toss on a white cardigan – sleeveless, leave it open – and black jeans that tuck into my shoes. Oh, and I do have this beauty mark under my left cheekbone. That’s all of it, right? Oh, wait, you need to know what I do, right? I was a Saloon Girl, not that long ago, but I left that job to do some adventuring.

>> My name is Dick (Richard) Grant. By my name, you can guess my gender. I like to swing it around sometimes in pissing contests and such.

>> I have a pair of glasses over my face. A thin beard does travel around my mouth, a bit scraggly. Only some of my hair is revealed as it is covered by a fedora. I have black duster coat over a white button shirt. A red bowtie is located on my neck. To match the duster coat, I do have black boots and dress pants.

>> I am a womanizer. I like to woo women over the sound of music. I am an inspiration. Even then, they call me a Piano Player.

@Leaves

It was quite a while ago.

@rocketrobie2 But Aaron did it lightly. Like a feather. Okay, maybe like tapping a notebook to their head... a chair?
