[OOC] Castle Grimm [A Fantasy Drama]

[Aces Away]

@Vashonn you got any ideas for your post or are you stuck?

[IceHeart]

Hmm well I've pmed Vash to see what's going on but we'll see. If it ends up our last Onyxian is out, what do you guys want to do? We could continue but it won't be quite as much fun since only one side will be represented.

[Aces Away]

Yeah I don't know. Do you want to try maybe recruiting? Putting up a new interest check for it or something?

[Vashonn]

I LIVE!!!! (Getting gradually more annoyed by reality)

Sorry for taking so long ._. I should most definitely have a post up today.

As for the situation concerning the (lack of) Onyxians, I guess I'd have to agree with Ana, and say we could try and recruit more people via IC's or the like. Hopefully they won't be too intimidated by the amount of writing we have already, though we would probably want folks who'd be here for the rest of the ride (I'm only sort of a hypocrite ;-;)

[Vashonn]

again, I'm really sorry for how long I've taken on this response, especially given how short it is. If Kehah would like to respond at all, she's perfectly free to, then we can get the first night wrapped up.

[Aces Away]

I'll do a short reply

Edit: *boop* It's up.

[IceHeart]

Hmm Emu seems to have vanished, guess that means there are actually no people on the empire's side at the moment.

[Aces Away]

Aw boo :/

[Aces Away]

Oh yeah I just checked it says they haven't even been on for 17 days

[Vashonn]

I'll have my response up tomorrow.

[Aces Away]

Hey Ice do you want me to respond again or do you wanna set up the next scene

[IceHeart]

@AnaSilan SunjaNo, I'll be posting to move things along next. Just been a bit busy is all.

[bloonewb]

@IceHeart Still room in this RP for one more?

[IceHeart]

@bloonewb
Indeed there is. Currently looking for players on the Onyx Empire side.

The reason the Green Knight didn't see Kehah is because she's perched on the rafters above her hammock, hiding lol.

@AnaSilan Sunja

Pretty much xD

Well the one good thing about not having any on the Onyx side at the moment is my writing is essentially cut in half.

[bloonewb]

Name: Ekaterina IV Novonatya
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Allegiance: The Onyx Empire

Appearance: Ekaterina looks perfect for a low member of the Onyx Court, meaning that she is almost unnoticeable. Her hair, once slightly red in her youth, she rigorously dyes dark brown to avoid the scrutiny of those above her. She lays makeup thickly not only on her visual faults, but on her more beautiful aspects as well, and does anything in her power to visually stay out of any side of anyone, especially the emperor.

Personality: Ekaterina is in many matters of manner typical of the Onyx Empire. She is haughty and self-superior, looking down her nose at everyone below her. She believes herself inherently better than the "peasant rabble", and would look down her nose at anyone who doesn't possess noble blood. Also in the manner of the Onyx Empire, she capers and cavorts around anyone she knows to be of higher standing than herself, in hopes of gaining favor and eventually support.

History: Ekaterina was born and lived her entire life in turmoil. She was the daughter of Prince Slokotya Novonatya of the Principality of Zator, a vassal of the Onyx Empire. At Ekaterina's birth, the emperor was Qartaz Obsidian. Qartaz had two sons, Frederick and Heinrich. When the old emperor died, Frederick ascended the throne, but a few dissident principalities, including Zator, backed Heinrich's claim, the younger brother being less intelligent and easier to manipulate. Frederick, who had renamed himself Titus in honor of the ancient civilizations, was easily able to crush this uproar, and confiscated the Principality of Zator from the Novonatya family. Slokotya was imprisoned and later executed, and left his daughter nothing but an ill-reputed name. The Onyx Emperor likely noticed her aptitude for diplomacy, and sent her to Castle Grimm, possibly fearing a conspiracy centered around the daughter of one of his most powerful enemies. Ekaterina, however, plans to forge a secret alliance with the Grimm Dynasty, and have them back the coup soon to occur in the Onyx Empire.

Why I Fight: Vengeance, plain and simple, against Titus Obsidian.

Skills: Ekaterina's skills are why she was sent on this diplomatic mission to Castle Grimm. She has one of the most silver tongues in the empire, is frugal and smart with money, but most importantly can keep a secret and take it to her grave if need be.

@bloonewb

Good use of the vassal states to add some story to the character. Everything looks good, though maybe a little more in the appearance since you don't have a picture.

@bloonewb

Oh and good use of olde English. xD

It's funny how I keep getting fighters on the Confederacy's side and 'others' on the Empire's side.

[Vashonn]

Who's up next to post?

[Aces Away]

I can post if you want, but I wasn't sure if you wanted to take lead since Geoffrey is a representative and it's a new day of strategizing and whatnot
