Player: Deep_Waters
Position: Knight Errant
Full name: Kylila Dagher
Bio: Kylila is a fugitive twice over. Driven from her native lands for her vocal denunciations of the Ampyrian One God, Kylila wandered the southern reaches, serving as a sword-for-hire merely to survive. In spite of the circumstances that brought her into this predicament, the former knightess believes wholly in the precepts of honor and dignity that define the Ampyrian Knightess of Alaziz, if not the religious aspects of the position, and resented that she had been forced to stooped so low. However, Kyliila's fortunes took a change for the better when, during an escort mission that had accidentally found its way into the middle of a vicious battleground, Elric's father saved her life. Seizing the opportunity, the former knightess invoked an ancient Ampyrian oath that bound her life to him and his line as servant and vassal, and served him until his dying day. Now, she is dutybound to serve and protect his son Elric, now known as Rusty- though, as with his father, she has ulterior motives for doing so.
Dusky-skinned with long dark hair, dark eyes, and exotic features, Kylila dresses in the traditional leather and steel armor of the Ampyrian Knightess. She keeps her hair loosely tied back when not wearing a helm. Her sword, a well-used shamshir, is  plain but clearly well-made to the trained eye.
Traits or resources:
Swordsmanship. (Bonus on personal combat rolls when using a sword.)
Exotic Fighting Style. Kylila was trained in the ancient martial arts of the Ampyrian Knightesses, a form that utilizes a shamshir with one hand and improvised attack and defense with the other, often in the form of distractions or disarmament. (Bonus on combat rolls against warriors unused to fighting Ampyrians.)
1 Ducat.

Jump right in. Normally I'd ask what your plans are, but since you're with Fil I don't think you'll be bored :P

Tiruin, you're approved - hadn't I already told you you were? If not, sorry 'bout that.
I know I was approved but...

RL took out that post. Looks like I missed the coronation of our new king!

Oh dear. King Albert will get pretty huffed up about one of his Marquis' missing his coronation.

Also, cheers on Iiteum's char!

someone requested sheet reprints so here's my guy.

Player: King of the Weasels
Position: Marquis of War's End
Full Name: Cyril "The Bastard" Rotwalden

Description: 29, Light Brown Hair, Grey eyes, fair skin, light beard.  His banner is a pair of weasels holding an oak branch.

Bio: Cyril was born from the one off affair of Leon Rotwalden, Marquis of War's End, and his wife Erika's Eldaric handmaiden, Acedia Vetsky.  When the affair was found out shortly after it happened, Acedia was banished and found shelter working in the kitchen's of the then Queen of Windheath, Kathryn Conricht. 

Shortly after Cyril was born and at age 9 became a wine bearer in her court.  During his time serving the queen he learned much of politics and nobility.  When Cyril turned 14 he became a squire for one of the many knights of the court though he was unaware on how he was given such an opportunity, though it was short lived, as Leon's wife Erika had succumbed to illness, leaving no heirs.  The Marquis who had always been kind to young Cyril during his visits to the Capitol revealed himself as his father, claiming he would of done it earlier had it not been for his wife, and the shame and grief she would of caused him.  With his mother already laid to rest, Cyril joined the Marquis on his journey back to War's End.

During his 20th birthday Cyril, his father, and a small group of lesser nobility went hunting in the Iron Woods.  During the trip a terrible blizzard separated Cyril from the rest of the group, and he became lost in the dark forest. He was lost for what felt  for days, and very well could of been, until he came to a small fort in the middle of the fortress.  When the castle walls opened he could only take 2 steps before collapsing.  He awoke to a young woman, and was instantly smitten.  The woman's name was Claire Feemure and she was the daughter of the Baron of Le Gel Gardien De Fort, also called Fort Frostwarden.  He was returned home a few days later, but would return constantly as the months and years passed.  Eventually they would marry.

During the summer of his 24th year, Cyril's father, Leon Rotwalden, grew ill, and passed away.  Cyril was named Marquis of War's End. Two years later Cyril's son, Dimitri was born.

Traits:
Hawkeye: +1 to personal archery checks.
"Bullseye"
Hunting Party: +1 strength when leading armies with archers. +2 strength when leading armies with nothing but archers.
"We don't hunt our enemies like we hunt the elk, we have respect for the elk."

So, I've decided that I do want to join this. And I have the perfect idea of what I want to play!
 
One question, though: Can I have a brothel? Doesn't have to be anything fancy, just some old converted warehouse in the capital, hastily renovated into a multi-storey building from which I can try to run a business. :P

It'd be a good place to learn secrets, if any nobles actually went there.


on a seperate note, I left my post open to say i'm done talking, but you can talk to me before I leave.

((Just reserving a spot if possible for later use( in other words when i'm finished with my exams). I hope Dragor doesn't mind my family relationship with the Blackshields...if yes i will remove it...))

Player: Ghazkull
Position: Lord of the Pact, Keeper of the Crown
Full Name: Harald Stonewood
Bio:
"Like apples from a tree"-Motto of House Stonewood
 
House Stonewood has been tending to the Pact and the Crown...actually nobody knows since when. There had always been a Stonewood in the Pact and Harald only being the last of an illustrous line of Lords and Ducs. As one of the main producers of Gems, House Stonewood could have been considered rich if not for the War of the Hounds. While not stripped of Titles and lands( as the Stonewoods ability to find gems in the Crown was considered to valuable), they had to pay enormous sums of reperation fees to the rest of the Kingdom, which drove them into poverty.

Harald himself has always been to "straight-forward" for his father. Although he doesn't lack the apparent inherent abilities of his family his father had always joked that this must be the Blackshield blood(from his mother) in him that made him more of a soldier than anything else. Harald had come to power under rather tragic circumstances. After the almost eradication of the Blackshields, his mother had commited suicide, driving his father into a deep depression and retirement. With 20 years Harald is pretty young for such a position as the Lord of Stonewood, but his father had him well prepared and Harald is willing enough to restore the wealth of his House.

Traits:

Stonewood Blood: doubles the Income   ((i hope that's not OP))
"Like apples from a tree"-Motto of House Stonewood

A Trickle of the Grim Shield: +1 on Defending
A trickle of Blackshield-Blood courses through this mans veins

Economic Warrior: +1 on Attacking
It's all about the Aggressive Expansion.

Gosh, I am having fun re-reading the first game while I wait for a yes/no on my character idea. :)
Some of this just makes me burst out laughing... Like this:
Edit 2:  [1]  They had a fantastic, unstoppable Admiral.  His name was Count Castor, and you threw him out of a window.
I'm not even quite sure why I found it so funny, but it had me cackling out loud.

You can have the fanciest brothel in the kingdom if that's what you wish. However, no matter if it's a palace for princes or a rat's hole, I don't think it will provide you any income, since we scratched the business thing. Well, it won't provide income directly, but no doubt you'll earn some information that you could sell, or be paid to keep to yourself, if you're imaginative.

Oh, business was scrapped entirely? I thought that was just the 'wandering trader' type of character.
Ah. Hmm. :-\

Well, I am still thinking about including businesses in the game, since there are not enough ways to make money without being a noble now. However, the system is not in place yet. Besides, you'd have to pay for it when starting the game - probably 1d to start as a business owner. I have to think about it - businesses were OP last game, and now that resources are simplified they don't have much use. Don't loose hope, though.

Ghazkull, if you mean to start with land, you only get two traits. Also, double income is awfully overpowered.

Well, I'll finish my sheet anyway, and pay a ducat for my brothel. Just have to think of a name...
I've had too many hilarious ideas for this character to let them go to waste, after all. :P
