@Blizz It's ironed out to my satisfaction, but I must warn you that her age as it is is that of a crone. An old woman who could have anywhere to a decade to two decades left. You'd be proficient in your chosen skills for that age, however. Though you would have those aches and pains that come with age. If this Rp goes on for over a decade (which I hope it will), there is a chance of your character since she is currently in her late forties dying of old age.

Other than that, you are good to move her over.

@LadyRunic That gives me plot ideas, actually...

Say in the next ten years she actually still around but she and everyone else is facing the fact that Mira won’t be around much longer, so she spends the rest of her days passing on the things she’s experienced and learned about the world over the years that few get to ever hear about. By the time she’s taking her last few breaths all she can tell them is “The world is beautiful, go and see it.”

We don't, I generally don't have posting orders because they can get in the way of someone goes missing or ghosts.

That being said, I will hopefully be posting tonight. I was kidnapped last night from my original plans. Ergo, barring kidnapping again, I shall post.

Post is coming and will be up shortly. A bit of a warning? Please be sure to read everything that is written and ask questions if you need to. As I said, your actions will have consequences upon the world.

How much freedom do we have with the NPC control or world building? I mean can we assume somethings or manipulate the world as long as we don't describe something too crazy?

@Omni5876 If you aren't sure? Ask. That would be the best advice I can give. As for how much freedom you have with NPCs and the world, you'd be generally alright but the one thing I would ask a GM would that if you do need something more than a generic conversation with a NPC or need a description of an area just shoot me a @ or a PM and we can collaborate on it. Just so people aren't Roleplaying with themselves. I'm usually on RPG every day and even if I don't reply I have seen what questions people ask. I may just be thinking hard on it is all. After all, I'd rather give a thorough answer than a half-baked one.

@Cyrania Not a problem, but read thoroughly. It's why I suggested reading throughly. After all its been 12 days since Luther was attacked. The wiseman/ your father is supposed to have a reply for the chief in 2 days.

@LadyRunic Since Arn has been here a few times before and @Cyrania basically lives in Norn, could we have some sort of lay out and common folks we would encounter? Not an all inclusive list just perhaps a general idea so we can craft the posts. I think the only one who may not have much knowledge of the place would be @Blizz

@Omni5876 I can create a rough list of characters about the town and such beside the generic that I flesh out as you interact with them. It will take some time, however. A day or two is my guess and I may add to it.

@LadyRunic no pressure, I just assumed it would make the interactions and the descriptions better but I can play blind too.

Planning on a reply tomorrow or the day after that! I should also have a decent list of general people in the town (tavern owner, headman, smith, etc.).

I'm putting it here and then if you have any questions I'll edit in anything I missed and toss it in a People of Note (NPC) post in the character tab. I may also add people if I need to note anyone else.

Village of Norn;
Headsman Vosker; A fairly average man in his late thirties. Brown hair and eyes, a rugged face and though he dresses well, he does get his hands dirty with work and hunting. Has a reputation as a fair and competent headsman of the small village. But with such a reputation comes the fact he is often concerned with the future and is often worrying over things.
Yarra; Vosker's wife. A portly woman in her mid-thirties, her hair was blonde but now it turns towards darker colors due to age. Her eyes are tired grey. Mother to four children and wife to the headsman, she is often the woman other women will go to if they are looking for news on the quiet or there is something hush hush going about the village.

Hod; The smith of Norn. He does good work and apprenticed down by the coast when he was a boy but enjoys the quiet life in Norn. he doesn't talk much about his past though many think the tall, bald man with his tattoos was once a raider. Looking to be in his mid-thirties, he is married to Jetamio and they have one young son.
Jetamio; Blonde, blue-eyed and sweet as spring. She is in her early twenties. Her people were from the neighboring village Laettir, there is no secret that the couple tried to live there (Hod leaving Norn to appease Jetamio) before they moved to Norn. Nor that the reason was Jetamio's mother who badgered at Hod until Jetamio-heavily pregnant declared they were leaving and left with only what she could carry. It's a well-told story and often joked upon.
Tholan; Three years old, blond hair and black eyes. He's a bubbly baby and one that Gwendolyn and her father delivered. Born during the spring.

Garin; The wiseman and healer of Norn. He also works as a wiseman for several other smaller villages. Adopted father of Gwendolyn, he named her the uncanny name for a Southern woman he met simply because he liked the sound of it. Not keen on taking charity and serious in his work as the local commune with the spirits, he often finds himself comforting Vosker that everything will sort itself out.

Lutter; A man in his mid-twenties and often drinks. His parents lived in an unhappy marriage til a fire burn down their cottage killing them and Lutter's little sister ten years ago. Since then he took to drinking and hunting to support the habit. He often hangs out with a group of other young men who are locally known 'lay-a-bouts'. Dark brown hair and dark brown eyes as are common in Norn.

Frenn; The man who runs the mead hall. An older man in his late forties. His wife, Iza died over the past winter of old age. He insists he is fine, though he often drinks.
Dallen; Frenn's oldest son who looks like many of the villagers, he is married to Yvenna and helps his father and sister run the mead hall. Well built man in his Early thirties. Though he was known for an even temper it has been getting worse over the years.
Yvenna; The blond-haired siren in her late twenties. Cousin to Jetamio. She is the local flirt and there's an uncomfortable marriage between her and Dallen as many of the men in the village make a pass at the woman. Rumor is that Dallen's children are not his.
Seyja; a young girl of about seven years. Blond hair and brown eyes. Bubbly child.
Gunnar; A burly young boy of nine who is the son of Dallen and Yvenna. Brown hair and eyes and he is large for his age.
Oskar; A boy of about eleven who is the firstborn of Dallen and Yvenna. He has blonde hair and brown eyes and is often slipping away to hunt.
Ryska; Frenn's oldest daughter who returned home when her husband was killed by a bear. Brown hair and eyes, a large woman who is very foul-tempered and often fights with Yvenna. She is in her mid-thirties.
Wersk; Ryska's son. Black of eye and brown of hair. He is close to his mid-teens. He has his mother's temper and is often a bully and encourages Oskar to follow his example along with his brothers.
Skal; Two years younger than Wersk, Skal is brown of hair and eye. He is just as sadistic as his brother though he is far better at hiding it and being charming.
Durin; The third son of Ryska who is about seven. He looks like his brother and often sneaks off to follow them.
Alven; The youngest of Ryska's sons. He is five and was born shortly after his father's death. He is picked on horribly by his brothers and often seeks out Yvenna.

Ottar; Father of Bauld and husband of Drega. Brown hair and eye. He inherited the farm from his father and married Drega. They had another son, but he left to go west and join the raids on the strange Southern. Ottar does not speak of him and his bitterness about it is well known.
Drega; Brown of hair and eye and of average height. She is a cousin of Yarra and a weaver. Very kind woman and stubborn.
Bauld; Young village guard, who works for coin to secretly buy presents for a girl he is sweet on in town.

Kettil; A older man who often traps a line in the area and sells charms come market day. He is well known to Arn for his being a kind man who likes to talk about the hunting and often has jobs for the large man to do in the area. With his head going bald in patches, he is not handsome in the slightest and lives on the edge of Norn.

@LadyRunic Cool thanks for that. from what I am reading, Arn is as old or older that some of these figures so would it be wrong to assume almost everyone in the village knows him or of him? I mean he does come every other winter or so depending on the success of his catches right? Also, should I wait for your reply or should I go ahead and post?
