Meh, the magic in my character isn't really the main focus, its just there because of the bloodline I chose.

[thatkid]

Somehow, I thought I already posted this up a few days ago. Ah well, a new day comes Spring.

Spoiler: Application (click to show/hide)

Name: Laneira Rynsire

Description: Lan is a woman of twenty seven. She is tall and slim and generally graceful. She has long, flowing brown hair that reaches up to elbow length tied back in a braid. Her face is angled and her eyes are dark brown. She is light in complexion.

Normally, she is known to be analytical and precise in her decisions. Her behavior is of a benevolent nature, one that only shows it's fire when in anger or in battle, but she tries to keep a calm head even in those times. However, she easily gets nervous during talks with other people, specifically the nobility and as such may ramble on about whatever firstly comes to mind.


Biography: Hailing from the free lands of the east, where both sun and moon both travel the heavens, Laneira (going by her alias of "Lan") started her own 'life' on the continent as a roving Merchant Guard. A simple job, but one that had the opportunity to travel the world and their various inhabitants, coin was obviously a priority here as was the survival of her contractors. Though, her dreams are not of glory and power, with rule over the hearts of men, but of peace and serenity. Maybe taking control of her own merchant fleet or such? Leading her own army or soldiers loyal to the king/queen of the realm? Whatever it is, she knows that she would be able to make it a reality if enough effort is put into it.


Starting Resources:
1 Infantry Regiment {Vigilant}
Self Upgrade: {Stalwart}


-No ducats remaining.

So I don't know, or cannot find anything on what the upgrades are, so I pulled that out of general knowledge.

Should I come up with a personal description for those under my command or leave them as blank and generic?

Also put some acronyms in the starting resources, to justify why I chose them.

_{Should've read 'You are a Lord' a long time ago...First time in any of these games.}

The regiment upgrade that does what you want is "Disciplined". You didn't explain Stalwart in the acronym (which I'm unable to view unless I quote you), so I have no clue what to suggest for that if anything.

As a fellow mercenary, let me be the first to welcome you into the game (when you get accepted)! If you're looking to do something a little more interesting than just guard caravans or, y'know, want to do that but with an awesome group at your back you should definitely start in Polca and meet up with Terryn while he's doing his daily bar-hopping-for-info thing or head to Ligoria and visit the Thornbred Guildhall just outside the Talama City walls! /shamelessadvert

E: just realized that CG actually did get around to replying to you, so my info-dump was useless as all hell. Just a shameless advert it is...~

[filiusenox]

E: Also, File: Terryn is purposefully waiting till after he's murdered the Guard Captain to meet with William, but you can always force the meeting if you want. It should be known to both parties that they're all in the city now.

I'll be lazy for a bit longer and let this play out...maybe later today I will.

[Skyrunner]

Now I don't know what to do! D:

noooooooooooooooooooooo

[filiusenox]

I could give you something to do, in a few.

[thatkid]

We should probably have some sort of Team Polca* meeting at some point...

*Team Polca (eng. noun): Of the six player characters currently in Polca, the four who are allied in, at the minimum, a tangential manner. Primarily through association with William.

[Skyrunner]

I could give you something to do, in a few.

Yay :3

Let me heckle Gavin till something of interest happens, like him joining Polca. Then I will.

Bandits are out...Hmm...let me think...

Could always send him after Gavin. I mean, there's rumors of another mage that haven't been wholly accounted for...
E: That is to say, send him out hunting down these rumors (maybe just quieting the rumors, if William thinks he's the cause of them)

Starting Resources:
Skill: Herbalist/Apothecary (growing and preparing herbs, mostly for medicine)
Skill: Physician (other healing skills)
Skill: Magic Talent

Again, Herbalism and Physician aren't exactly documented traits, so you'll likely want to explain to what effect you'd like them to be useful for

I would like to be able to use both of these skills when there is any healing to be done, or anything related to herbs or chemicals and brewing them for something useful (wether healing or poison).
Both skills are rather close together, so maybe it should be one skill instead? Then again, it does focus on different aspects and can be used for things outside just healing. Also for example checking how and why someone died for example. It actually depends a bit on the situation if these skills prove to be useful.

Suggestions on what to change it into are welcome, if they need to be changed.

There's precedent for this. We had an herbalist in YaK I, she seduced and married an enemy lord using aphrodisiacs that she brewed and then used his forces to help us try and take over their country. We also had a doctor at one point, who used his skills with doctoring to save a regiment after a losing battle and also to help heal a permanent injury that another PC had suffered. With the advent of "injured" regiments (instead of just having them immediately be wiped out) this could be even more useful. I'd even suggest a "field medic" NPC specialist, in fact.

[Skyrunner]

That herbalist must have been one fun character to play.

[kingfisher1112]

I have NO IDEA what went on in YAK2, but it sounded fun. How do i join?

1) http://youareking.wikia.com/wiki/Rules#Units
2) Not really, you can name them and such on the fly if you care to, outside of that it doesnt really matter
3) Please dont use acronyms or midget text - it makes baby jesus cry

Alright, not using acronyms then. And, edit.

Polca seemed a good place to start her line of work. Having persuaded a good friend to join her, a man going by the name of Talus (heading the regiment as the Captain), they both set out to accomplish their dreams.

Starting Resources:
1 Infantry Regiment {Disciplined, Tactician}
Self Upgrade: {Stalwart} - Stalwart, meaning that the individual is resistant to attack, gaining a +1 to defensive rolls


-No ducats remaining.

So another question, if I am a Merchant Guard, do I get set on already 'guarding' an NPC caravan owned by someone in Polca?

Also, thatkid, thanks for that! You're shameless advertising has not gone without notice! If the double upgrade (As I saw 0.5 ducats on the price tag) is not applicable, then shorten to [Tactician].

Read character creation, take some pointers from the above apps - and try not to play a mage

Discussing your double upgrade viability with Terenos - everything else looks fine. Go ahead and start (we can retcon the upgrade as needed, if needed)

In terms of 'starting' guarding, no. But if you want to play as a caravan guard, it will probably be easier for you to find a caravan to guard.

EDIT: You're cleared - have fun, try not to die
