[quote=@Crusader Lord] So ultimately I maaaaaay have just realized I have written myself into a corner, and will need to in the end redo my noble idea from scratch. My noble idea has come to revolve around the idea of a United Scandinavia under an empire, which to put it most simply and not get too wordy ended up with a really powerful absolutist royal family and basically powerless (politically) nobility. Etc. (Insert overthinking and overcomplicating things here because history is fun to learn about and look up). However, this all ended up being written in a bit of a vacuum mostly, due to work IRL and such going on and the like. Thus I am only now just realizing that my ideas clash with background stuff in Esme's lore. And I am a silly goose who overthought the whole thing to a point that now I feel a little ridiculous. So I think I'm going to take the easier solution for me at this venture, as well as in hindsight, and just try for making a simpler idea for my Noble character. XD But for the moment, as of writing this post, it is time to sleep. [s]Maybe[/s]. [/quote] Dawwww, that's unfortunate, but alright then, if you think what's best for your PC is to redo their background, then go ahead. But remember, [i]perfection is the enemy of progress[/i]. Good enough is hella lot more meaningful than nothing! As a perfectionist myself, these are the words I try to always remember whenever I'm creating something. For example: I didn't account for the [i]whole[/i] of historically-accurate HRE for Millie's background, I'm just happy with Modern Day Germany, everything else is extra. However, considering that you're aiming for a simpler idea now, I think you're on the right track. Also, since Savant has decided to drop, Russia and France are open once more. Just throwin' it out there. Lastly, good night and sleep tight, Crubro!
