Yoyoyo what is up in here my homesizzles

Player: thatkid

(Desired) Position: Count of Oathbreaker

Full Name: Zacharie de Chastain

Bio: The house Chastain has a long and storied history, beginning from their founding when Erik Chastain, then a lowly knight in the service of the now long dead House Blow, broke his oaths and betrayed his liege in order to assume control of the region on behalf of the Conrichts. Despite his great dishonor, a blemish upon the man which was so great that it would see the fief and fort renamed to reflect his deeds, Erik Chastain was, by all accounts, a capable ruler, driven by a desire to protect his subjects and guide them upon a righteous and moral path. In the decades that followed, historians would wonder just where his line went wrong.

Zacharie, conversely, was the second son begotten by Count Lucas de Chastain. As such, under the impression that his elder brother Francois would be the rightful heir, he was not truly trained in the ways of a lord. Quickly, in fact, the young Zacharie gained a reputation as a scoundrel and rake, concerned more with worldly pleasures and the deflowering of Oathbreaker's virgins than he ever was the duties of nobility. A disgrace upon his house, and for all of that his father could not be rid of him- For his mother loved him so, and the chains of all great men are the women whom they, in turn, find themselves besot with.

In recent times, Zacharie, a handsome, chestnut-haired rake of twenty-two years, has found himself in an entirely new position. An illness has overtaken his household, and his father and brother quickly fell ill and each, in turn, succumbed to the final rest which finds us all. Left as the final heir (for even were it acceptable for his sister to rule, she would be far too young at the tender age of 10, and his mother, in her years, could not lead), Zacharie must now step up and take the lead.
As one hunter was heard saying in a local tavern: "May mother Milayjna save us all."

Traits

+1 to Charisma
Zacharie is handsome, and a consummate womanizer. Affable, with an inbred sense of reckless youth which endears him to others despite their misgivings, and skill with lute and harp gained through years of ill spent hours, Zacharie is naturally capable when it comes to persuading others.

+1 to Swordplay
Once upon a time, like many youngsters, Zacharie had dreams of becoming a bravo. As he grew older, his father was more than happy to aid in these endeavors in the hopes of curing him of his scandalous ways through either martial discipline or sending him off to die. Having lost interest in that manner of fame, in favor of a manner of infamy brought about by his womanizing, Zacharie never became a bravo- but he remains a capable swordsman, all the same.

+1 Nobility
See above.

Aha, you're lord Blow?  Excellent.  You inherited the throne after all five people in your way died horribly from plague.  ;D

Yes, but I refused to use the surname Blow. Because...I mean, seriously?
So he's been sort of retconned as being a much older lord. House Chastain has held Oathbreaker ever since it changed hands 50 years ago.

Did you just retcon a PC and his whole cadet line of the Conrichts?

The cadet line remains in place, but instead of Blow inheriting, thatkid did - Henry was the last of his house (after all, he had no children). Since we had only mentioned Blow by name, we figured it wouldn't hurt too much.

The only part I have a problem with is "House Chastain has held Oathbreaker ever since it changed hands 50 years ago".

I was told I had full artistic license regarding the history of oathbreaker, apart from the fact that it joined with the conrichts 50 years ago.

How are you with "The Iron Queen demoted your father and put one of her relatives in the fort, just to be on the safe side."?  Now that practically the entire Conricht line is gone, of course, the throne returns to the hands it should be in.

And yeah, renaming Blow is fine.  I literally named him off-hand because I thought "byblow of some lord".  You're just not a bastard any more.

Yaaay!

Can I bring an NPC Sirenna in now?

You're assuming there isn't one already.  How much of Aveline's parentage do you really know, anyway?

(Haha.  That would be far too cruel of me.)

Edit:  Shoot, Winter whenever you're ready.

Edit 2:  From now on, I'm going to start awarding small skill rewards for successful life-or-death or otherwise high stakes fights.  It just makes sense.

Seeing how courts are rather big and time consuming on GMs.. i doubt it. Although the civil war is over so Shoot can pick up his GM duties once again.
