Either Neil will take the adventure into parts unknown, or try and steal the mark of a master fencer.

Though I am curious on how our factions come into play, and how would you like us to handle NPCs

I mean, both churches would probably consider you a heretic.

Got a little intro for Piero to make clear his intentions, and start to get the voice down. It's been a while since I've made a complete cad.

I... I must apologize. I have an idea for yet another RP and I might not be able to join this one.

Sorry, guys.

The RP may be a Battletech one that may be ran alongside my Gundam one, btw.

I should have phrased this better, but this was a 2 part question, whenever you get the chance :)

The factions aren't necessarily going to be giving marching-orders; they're mostly there for the purpose of providing plot hooks, or for interesting character moments where your character's goals align or conflict with those of their faction.

As for NPCs, you're free to create other members of your particular faction, though I may jump in to drive if the leader of a faction (such as Captain Wrathbourne or one of the colony Governors) figures directly into the story. I'll also play the part of any quest-givers. Other than that, you're free to populate the region with any sort of characters you like and portray them in whatever way you want.

Let me know what you need for further setup for Piero to pick up the quest from the DiVacce's, or if we can handwave him getting to the estate and having a sit down with Maria to get the terms.

Also, if I remember my Medieval/Renaissance titles correctly, Elanora is an established lady. Is she a Medician aristocrat (Which I imagine Piero would know) or is she a minor Castillian noble of some sort?

I'd assume that the manor is open to accept visitors during the day, so we can hand-wave Piero getting there.

Elanora DiVacce is a Medician aristocrat- not a noble, but heiress to a prominent shipping company. She's a well-known socialite in the colonies, and often holds lavish parties when prominent figures come to Free Sail.

i kinda have this idea for the next thing Gerard is going to do now that his brother Benedict disappeared (yet again) after getting his hands on him.

So, Gerard and Winifred might go back to Valle D'Or to find his family to tell them the news, since they were unaware of Zephoria having been killed, and then Gerard is back on the pursuit of hunting down Benedict.

and further on it, how about his mother is about to die and she tells him that she knew all along who sent him the Specter Ring and she dies before she can tell him

omg, how could Gerard let Benedict get away! He had him but now Benedict is going to beat Gerard home to Valle D'Or and start his mad killings again! You don’t think Benedict will be there to stop his mother from telling Gerard who gave him the Specter Ring, do you?

@Pirouette oh i didn't say where Benedict went/is going now, but i could mention it in later posts, so i don't think Benedict will go to Valle D'Or, but i am keeping it a surprise where Benny is going :) so, their mother will just die telling Gee who gave him the Specter Ring

@tealrootssss Hmm… I’ll keep reading then. I thought for sure Benedict would go back to his old ways after gloating about the sister killing. Coincidentally, the ship back to the Old World might help Gerard take time to grieve and plan, I think.

I’m surprised you didn’t start them out as just meeting and build the relationship from the very beginning. Lead up to the part that they fall in love with each other. It would have been cute to see them develop that, potentially. Just my suggestion as I think about it.

@Pirouette well, this takes place 2 or 3 years after they married (since they met in 1615 A.A and Gee was 14 and Winny was 13, and Gee killed her father, a gunslinger with his own gun in a messy attempt to get himself out of trouble for stealing bread) and Gee and Winny married in 1618 when Gee was 17 and Winny was 16, so i wasn't sure how to fit that in there bc i wanted it to take place a couple of months after Gee found out about Benny's murderous rampage.

@tealrootssss

Gunslinger is probably incorrect given the time period but I get your meaning. But nonsense, you can have them meet whenever you want since it is your story that you are wanting to write. Imagine Gerard finding out about Benedict’s murder spree and at the moment having nobody to turn to. Then suddenly Winny is there with a kind smile and a shoulder for him to lean on. Then go from there.

Writing the process of falling in love, I find, is often much cuter and rewarding than writing being in love.
