Marches of Man: the Black Shields. [ALWAYS OPEN]

@dreamingflowers I sensed a Phantom of the Opera allusion too, but I don't know if it was intentional?

@dreamingflowersA Hunchback of Notre Dame quote from the Feast of Fools? Nice!

Marches of Man: the Black Shields. [ALWAYS OPEN]

Hey'o friends. I'm around, and I'll go about posting tonight!

I was looking for a dress for inspiration, and I found this:



It really makes me think of Floure! @dreamingflowers Probably because the purple seems really gypsy-y to me, and the butterflies are like, mesmer magic!

@Renny I'll be sure you let you know!

@Renny It's no fault of yours! And thank you, I'm excited to see where this roleplay goes and you're quite impressive yourself. There's definite potential here, I'm beyond hype, ask Partisan. I've been bugging him to no end on skype about it.

@Renny Unfortunately not.

@Renny Heh, I suppose we'll have to see. I'm tempted to make a post, but there's not much to post about at the moment. :(

@Renny That would be...interesting. Don't want to spoil Nikolas' reaction for you, but it'd be interesting, nonetheless. Nikolas has a very cemented values, his strongest being his beliefs in loyalty, duty, and politeness. So a Noble, a breed he already distastes, comes and tries to pull strings in order to get out of what Nikolas sees as his duty...it would get, interesting. Most of the men like Nikolas because for the most part he's sensible and mild mannered, but he also has a reputation for going off the deep end when something tickles him the wrong way.

Sara would be a far more sympathetic ear, she actually cares for the nobility and in general is a far more compassionate person.

@Renny Nikolas is a Captain, not the full on commander. He's a powerful officer, but below Terryn still. As for Alycia, he loves her enough that he kept her bastardization a secret. Other than to Nikolas and his brother, everyone believes Alycia is his biological daughter. Even Sara doesn't know. However, there are rumors, rumors Sae might have heard, otherwise. None of the rumors have enough proof other than idle gossip, a curious little note, fueled mostly by the word of servants, and the daughters queerish appearance, red haired and blue-eyed. He isn't the type of man to resent a child. Alycia was born, and in the process, she killed his wife. However, he sees that as the Monarch's justice, to punish his wife for infidelity, and in return, he cares for the child she bore. It's a sort of exchange, in his mind.

As for Sara and Sae, I'm sure it'll be interesting, Sara loves interacting with nobility, their whole lifestyle completely enthralls her.

@Renny Actually, Nikolas detests much of the nobility. He's fancies the hierarchy of the army to the hierarchy of society any day because he's part of that world more so than the other. He has an older brother who inherited their keep, so his title is more of a formality than him possessing any real influence/power. I mean, his connections within the army would make him more notable than most second sons. As well, he suspects it was a noble with whom his wife was unfaithful with (resulting in Alycia), mostly because it happened in a castle, and she was not the type of woman, at least in his eyes, who would belittle herself with a servant.
