Wow. I've taken the big step in battlemaster. I'm going to have a female noble.

Hehehehehe.

Boobs.

 
  ^^

She is going to spend so much time like this....... Very noble

[Zangi]

....  I don't see what the special deal is with a female noble...

[sambojin]

Actually, from a roleplaying perspective it should be quite fun. At least very different from any of my adventurers (all male, all eager little hunters, but all with differing personalities). I was going to do a fairly cool concept for another adventurer, but that didn't work out.

I'll probably make her a "fun" noble, just so that there's plenty to do when my adventurers run out of hours. Not Graham-style fun (I've learnt my lesson on that one), but amusing none-the-less. Not sure just where she'll end up. I'm sort of eyeing off the city outskirts in Giask or around Outer Giask, just for convenience sake. Or Mellifera or Cadier, because it's good to spread the bounties (and guildhouses) around liberally. The army building side of things takes a while anyway, so at least we won't need extra troops for internal security. And wiping out monsters, undead and bandits is a fairly hassle-free way of getting a bit of battle experience. A homeguard regiment might be quite fun really. Especially one led by a "fun" female noble. Who knows the favours she'll ask for or bestow for her services.

I'll see how it works out anyway. I just have to put a wall up between her and my adventurer so I don't get accused of meta-gaming. Story-wise, they already look down on each other, for very different reasons, so it shouldn't be too hard. Once the whole "line 35 killed your character before conception" thing gets worked out, she'll be good to roll.

Glad  to see you back with us at Luria Nova. I personally found that your (character's) presence always liven things up.

[sambojin]

Let me introduce, Sha'Shanti el Gato, leader of Swish of the Tail.

She's on her way to the top, and if necessary, she will take it laying down. This is going to be fun

[wolflance]

I imagine a Cersei Lannister-isque person, that will be really fun.

[danaris]

Better be careful, though; LN already has a Queen Bitch, and she may not want you horning in on her territory

[SealyStar]

My main character now is female. I don't RP her any differently than I did my male one, because outside of romantic subplots there's no need to do so.

[sambojin]

I figure her and Alanna will either be bitter rivals or the best of friends. Maybe both, a little bit of female intrigue at court tends to go both ways at once. Possibly in more ways than one. The only way to the top is up. And down. Then repeat.

Right now Sha'shanti fits somewhere between "eager, naive, Disney princess" and "a bit of a slut". Depending on how stuff turns out, she might end up staying this way too. A fairly sheltered life as a noble from Mountainhome will do that to a woman. She may never quite manage to take off the rose-tinted glasses, LN is way better in her opinion due to the freedom of it compared to her previous life. But by the same token, she'll probably never realize that it's unseemly to help commoners or learn to keep her legs shut.

She may get a little bit harder edged eventually. Then we might all be doomed.

[SealyStar]

Being a female character is easy in Terran where mine is. My character's former commander in the army is female, as is her lord lady.

Sambojin, sorry for ignoring your character's emergence.  Half of Luria Nova is currently on a Death March that just went from shitty to catastrophic.  Trying to roleplay that consistently and playful flirting with the new girl will be a challenge.

Good thing I like challenges.   

Now with better proofreading than the ingame version!

After days of waiting in the desert awaiting supposed Solarian reinforcements, Lord Aldus Thunderwood received his orders.   Recalling his most recent scout reports, he darkly laughed to himself (Scribe Note).  While the simple treachery of turning back now would surely save the Dalian Remnant, he would be dooming many other fine Lurians to an unmarked sandy grave in Sallowwild.

Morale within the unit was already low.  They, like the rest of the Golden Host, spent over a week travelling to spill blood upon this barely inhabited scrap of land.  A more ribald soldier had started the joke that D'Hara would have likely paid us to take Sallowwild from them, it was so utterly worthless.  Having once laughed at a disintegrating invasion force in Summerdale, Lord Aldus had stead-fastly prepared his men for this expedition.  Having left Askileon with full provisions, morale, and repair, the Dalian Remnant stood head and shoulders over many other troops in the Golden Host.  Every morning formation, the Golden Host shrank as the night's desertions became apparent.  Proud that none had deserted him, he couldn't help but wince as gradually began to notice his men and others abandoning torn shoes to walk barefoot.

And now he had to tell them about the battle at dawn.

He looked over their faces as he briefed them their orders.  A few a fought alongside him in Summerdale, but for most this would be their first, and likely, last true battle.  Although eager to test themselves, they couldn't help but notice the lack of Solarian banners within the field camp.  Lord Aldus knew he had to lie, and so he told the one lie everyone tells a dying man, "Everything is going to be okay."

As they took to the battlefield, Lord Aldus Thunderwood took comfort that his long Dalian comrade, Lord Konrad, would be joining his side in providing archer support to the doomed assault.  They'd both survived far worse against the Morek Empire, and surely a could fare no worse against a mere band of pirates.

With a battlecry, forces were met.  The pirates, as foolhardy as they are prone to be, charged forth from their ramparts to meet High Commander Bohdan's assault.  Lord Aldus directed his fire onto them, hoping to soften the clash.  After the dust from the first round had settled.  The D'Hara charge was battered and encircled, with over half of their numbers fallen.  He redirected his fire against the Dame Himeko of Sallowwild's infantry on the ramparts.

Just as he saw the D'hara charge annihilated and Knight Mathias of Port Nebel carried off on a stretcher, he saw Sir Cyrus fall wounded from the ramparts.  Amidst the chaos, he never saw his Dalian comrade emerge.  He steeled his will as he was but one of the many being slaughtered before him.

It was not long before the 120 Archer's under the Prime Minister Rynn, began to counterfire against Lord Aldus and Sir Konrad.  As the broken infantry fled past them, Lord Aldus slipped into a dream.  Lost in the horrific screams of men breathing their last, he remembered simpler, happier times.  Long before the reign of Queen Charlotte Grancourt, he remembers the joys of time spent with a girl from a place called Mountainhome.  She never even told him her name.  He once thought to ask his long lost friend of Mountainhome-origin Sir Graham el Gato, but soon realized he could not find the words to describe her.

Lord Aldus was awoken harshly my an arrow impacting his iron breastplate, and knocking him off his feet.  The pirates had torn apart the Golden Host, and it was but he, Sir Saul, and what was left of the Solarian Riders of Castus still standing.  Tempted to order the retreat, he ordered one final volley to try and clear an escape route for Sir Saul.  Pirate arrows rained down in return, and the Dalian Remnant finally broke.

(Scribe Note)

As he rallied by an oasis, he felt nothing but sorrow as he looked at what was left of his once proud Dalian Remnant.  Of his sixty men, only ten were still standing.  It was a long march back to Giask, and he wouldn't blame them if they deserted him throughout their trek through the Solaria countryside.

His Captain placed his hand on his shoulder, "Sir, we've already seen darker times.  We spent days scattered in the woods of Odenir, evading Libero hunting parties.  We sobbed as the citadel at Storms Keep fell without a fight, screamed as half of Summerdale defected to Astrum, and wept as the fled the collapse of Nifelheim for Luria Nova.  We will be reborn again sir.  We will be reborn."

[wolflance]

Ewww, so we lose the battle? Been rotting in prison and lost contact with the outside world.

Their judge is questioning me about the purpose of this war.

[sambojin]

When have former Summerdalians ever needed an actual reason to start a pointless and slightly suicidal war? Reason. Bleh! I see your reason and up you a suicide charge and/or death march.

So yeah, it's probably best to vote no on proposition 69. We might actually need some friends around after this. I'm really hoping people got the sarcasm in that. I'm going to laugh so hard if mine is the deciding vote.

On other news, they did a back-burn on all the bush around my house yesterday. I may have inhaled a tiny bit too much smoke and turned Sha'shanti into a complete airhead for the day. More of a complete airhead to be precise. Oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. At least the Rangers have a new member. And maybe another soon. I'm afraid Sha'shanti might not actually understand what the Rangers are about and has decided to pimp one of them out to someone. Anyone want to donate their body? It's for the good of the guild..........

[sambojin]

Hmmmmm, has anyone watched the anime "Panty, Stockings and Garterbelt"? This might end up somewhat similar.

Like diplomatically you know?

At least Sha'shanti (pronunciation: Shay Shaanti) is going to hopefully have a new weapon in her arsenal. And she's very flexible, diplomatically. Shit, she might end up as a bargaining chip in D'Hara's whining about being "improperly invaded from behind". Meh.

I love this character. Pick a female Disney character. Assume she's really stupid and horny. She's also from Mountainhome, so she's used to making mandates. She couldn't even work out how to pull the lever.

She's great. I just wish I'd thought of her sooner.

[sambojin]

BTW, Sha'Shaanti looks a lot like this. Without the magic stuff, no projected spirit-image protecting her, with light-mousey brunette hair, with a long pony-tail. She shows a hell of a lot more leg too. Because, her legs are a lot nicer. Better belt as well.

Damn. Stupid Opera Mobile and it's shitty clipboard. Ummmmmm, quadruple post much?
