@MissCapnCrunch

I've got a fairly basic CS ready for the Lord Hyland if no one else ends up taking that position, made him as Tywin-esque as possible to deal with those ambitious children :P

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Pundii

I think we had a leader for the Hyland group say interest already :) but the male leader of Gully is available!

[Dion]

@Buddha Is your character a cousin to the leader of the Gully clan or is he a cousin to their children?
I'm a little confused on how to put him on the family tree here.

@MissCapnCrunch

He's a cousin of the lord. So the lord's brother had a child and that child was Tybalt.

[Dion]

@c3p-0h Is that.. is that Jhené Aiko?

[c3p-0h]

shit i've been caught

[Dion]

@c3p-0h My lips are sealed, I love that woman.

[c3p-0h]

tbh i'm still deciding on the fc. it was someone else earlier but the more i got into the nuances of who grey is, the less that one seemed to fit. i may end up changing again before i submit my cs.

@Buddha

wouldn't this make him… the nephew of the lord?

[Dion]

@c3p-0h The American terms for this have literally always confused the shit out of me.

Nephew, cousin, cousin, I don't even know.

And keep the Jhené faceclaim. She's beautiful, and I'm sure she'd fit the character.

[c3p-0h]

……………………do other english speaking countries not use nephew and niece??? shit man. my mind is blown. you learn something new every day.

[Dion]

@c3p-0h We do, neef and nicht, but we don't have a word for 'cousin' I don't believe.

EDIT: I checked. We don't have a word for that. It automatically goes to nephew when I translate it, and a second option is niece, but there's no word for cousin itself.

[c3p-0h]

oh interesting, that's… dutch? is english not your first language?

[Dion]

@c3p-0h More like my fourth language. We learn German, French and English in school. While my French is quite bad, and I can only string together random words to say stupid stuff like 'my cat is in a pool of shit', my German is rather okay. My English is easily my best language. I take international classes so I speak English like every day, I chat in English to all my friends (except my real life friends) and I spoke English since I was 6 (I liked playing Runescape). I even think in English at most times.

Never the less, the whole nephew-niece-cousin stuff still eludes me, since we don't have 'cousins' and we refer to 'cousins' as a nephew or niece depending on their sex.

Oh, yes, and that's Dutch.

[c3p-0h]

ah that's cool. english is my best language too, lol. then probably… japanese. and then we can be shitty french buddies.

but yeah, the cousin-nephew-niece thing can get kinda convoluted when you start going through multiple generations and the 'third cousin four times removed' bullshit. but for the most basic level… if i am the starting point, my parents' siblings are my aunties and uncles. me and my siblings are their nieces and nephews. my aunty's/uncle's children are my cousins. cousin is gender neutral. aunty/niece is female. uncle/nephew is male.

[Dion]

@c3p-0h Then the current cast of Gullies is my cousins, and I am the nephew of the lord. Hm. Interesting.

[Dion]

@MissCapnCrunch Scratch my stupidity, I am the lords nephew, and the other Gullies are my cousins. Mentioning you so you don't get caught up in my earlier stupidity.

[c3p-0h]

(and amara gully is your aunt)

[Pundii]

@MissCapnCrunch

I found a website for making house sigils, figured i'd put a few together for the Hyland's and Gully's just to see what people think.
These were more tests to show off the kind of editing you can do, but if people like them we can use them!

[MrMonsoon]

@Pundii
Those look amazing, what website did you use?
