[OOC] Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

[Aleranicus]

@VitaVitaAR Updated. If you have any other issues, I'll be happy to adjust.

It's your playground, I'll just be happy to run around in it ^_^

[VitaVitaAR]

@Aleranicus: Much improved! Though Thaln has both a King and a Queen of equal standing, and there's no organization known as Justicars(though I might have something called that somewhere in the setting now just because Justicar is always a cool word), that's all relatively minor.

I'm glad you cooperated, accepted.

[Aleranicus]

@VitaVitaAR Thanks for the approval! I will admit, I was gonna use something generic like constables or whatever and decided to go with the fancier Justicar title. If you want, I will be happy to change it to something else.

If it's all right with you, I'm going to catch up on reading today and try to find a place to wind Tanda in to the story naturally. I don't want to step on any toes for pre-established plots going on!

[Feisty-Pants]

Sorry, got family issues last night. Will have a post up today! I promise.

[Aleranicus]

Posted, but if this isn't the best place to introduce Tanda, let me know and I'll nuke it and reintroduce her somewhere else!!!

Since Merilia's there mostly for occasional background stuff/harassing the bunny:

• Name: Lilianna Belwiss
• Age: 29
• Gender: Female
• Race: Human
• Appearance

  
• Personality: Though not as harsh as she often first appears to be, Lilianna is generally quite cold to most people--polite but closed off and unfortunately prone to coming across as supercilious. As her family and the captain can attest to, she just takes a long time to warm up to anyone and only relaxes in private.
  She also hates anyone that claims a position or privilege solely on the circumstances of their birth or their connections. If you haven't the skills for the role, then you should be stripped of it at the soonest convenience in her opinion--something that sets her at odds with the more traditional members of the knights, though it earns her some prestige amongst more progressive sections of the nobility.
  If there's one thing that Lilianna takes pride in above everything else, it's her swordsmanship: any knight claiming to be better than her has been asked to prove it... and their oldest member's refusal to accept her terms for a fair duel frustrates her to no end.
• Brief Backstory: As the fifth daughter of the Countess Belwiss, Lilianna received a thorough education, including instruction with the sword, but after that was left to make something of her life on her own. The young woman pledged her service directly to the royal family, serving admirably and proving her skills sufficiently to be granted a position as a commander in some minor engagements. It was this experience that gave her the leverage to join the Iron Roses.
  After Phoran Cal's rebellion, there was the obvious need to find those able to train the new Captain--a job that Lilianna, refusing to have some uneducated ditz there with no qualification other than their birth, volunteered for immediately. In the end, was the captain's primary tutor when it came to military matters--aside from a brief leave of absence due to a romance with one of the Danbalion family maids, which got cut short due to her replacement's unexpected death.
  Despite being one of the few knights that are actually married and responsible for raising a daughter, Lilianna has no intention of stepping off the battlefield any time soon. Though she quite likes the captain, she won't rest before the order is reformed--it hardly has a religious mandate nowadays and tradition is no reason that its leader should continue to be chosen for such foolish reasons. Better to select someone that already has the skills needed than train a random girl from scratch.
• Equipment: Lilianna wields two weapons, both of dwarven make and alloy--a much newer, and more ornate, rapier and a dagger with which to parry or (frequently) stab someone more concerned with the more 'obviously' dangerous weapon. So confident is Lilianna in her abilities that she eschews any form of armour when going into battle. She must be doing something right in order to still be alive and pretty much unscathed.
• Skills: As befitting one of those tasked with bringing the new captain's abilities up to a level where she could competently fill the post and avoid a painful death in battle, Lilianna is an exceptionally skilled swordsman. Despite having no abilities beyond her swords and footwork, she is more than able to serve on the field of battle alongside her more heavily armoured comrades. Her awareness of combat seems quite exceptional as well, since arrows don't seem to trouble her.
  The swordsman is also a practised battlefield commander and tactician, having been responsible in part for all the militant aspects of Fanilly's education. Though a large portion of her knowledge comes from history, her posts prior to joining the knights have given her direct experience of command--as did being one of those involved with battle plans when putting down Phoran Cal's rebellion.

@Aleranicus: Ah, Candaeln is the Iron Rose Knights' base, not the capital. The capital is Aimlenn.

Also um, the raid on the Hillfolk should be winding down pretty far since if it's in full swing it's too "big" for Fanilly not to be somehow managing it and for it not to have been mentioned at all. ^^;

A couple other things: This is a personal setting I've been developing for a while now, so if something isn't mentioned that doesn't mean it isn't fleshed out. I'd like if you asked me for location and organization details before improvising. ^^;

@Raineh Daze: Accepted.

[Aleranicus]

@VitaVitaAR Understood. I'll get to work on fixing things up. Like I said, I don't want to step on anything. The work you put into this setting shows, and the last thing I want to do is wreck it up ^///^

Edit: Initial update posted! Please let me know if more is needed.

[Feisty-Pants]

Done.

Figured Alera was talking to Salty, so I decided to deal with...Ghast.

[Saltwater Thief]

Post will be up tonight or tomorrow.

[Aleranicus]

Is it cool if I decide to post in candaeln as an observer after that?@Saltwater Thief

@Aleranicus

Well, I was going to have Markus be the young man your character talked to, unless you'd rather I not?

[Aleranicus]

@Saltwater Thief No, that'd be perfect!

[Saltwater Thief]

Post complete.

[Raineh Daze]

Post complete.

@Saltwater Thief

You missed one mention. I've got someone there too. :P

[Aleranicus]

@Raineh Daze Quick question: Was the "That applies to you as well, Miss" meant to be directed at me? If so, I'll make a brief edit acknowledging it.

[Saltwater Thief]

@Raineh Daze Ack! My apologies.

@Aleranicus

Half giant, actually.

[VitaVitaAR]

I think I can get a post up here in the next few days? Unless I'm missing someone who hasn't posted at the shrine.

[Crimson Raven]

A merry hello to you all~

I've actually had my eye on this RP for awhile, and I finally made up my mind to join.

So be looking for a CS from me in the near future.
