In the Court of the High Queen

@Major Sharpe Will we be drawing up a map of Viexmeur at some point, or just playing it by ear as far as the geography goes?

I only ask since we already have Montisle on the northwest coast, Laurensia in the northeast forests, Vrelan in the eastern mountains and Kam in the far eastern jungles and we all seem to be bunched up quite closely to one another. Will other provinces be more spread out, covering the other regions around the central Crownlands?

If not, I could always move Laurensia to the south, and switch Carmella's associations to the Qazadi rather than the Foronians. Hilly forestlands along the Great River as well as the influence of Qazad's many religions would play well into the provincial spiritual beliefs, and the trade of spices and rare artifacts from the friendly south would work well for the residents' reputation as swindling charlatans well respected merchants of antiquities and curios.

...occasionally these exiles will band together but before becoming too large either the Kam clan or other kingdoms will strike them down before they become too powerful.

Carmella de Laurensia: "I would just like to point out that any weapons or armour these tribes may be using most definitely did not come from the Laurensi. Especially not the ones inscribed with 'A Souvenir From The Laurensia Freeholdings'."

Corrupted Veins

Thanks for the interest you guys! If we get a couple more people I'll expand the lore and make a CS guide :)

@Rebirth

That's the couple more people you needed signed up. :D

They haven't attacked other Provinces since, though there have been threats when food shipments are delayed.

@ArisenMoon

You should really talk to Corvinus about that. His province is the major player is the provision of basic resources. Laurensia tends to deal more with specialty items and bespoke orders, such as enchanted items which might have previously belonged to someone else. Someone else who hasn't noticed they're missing yet.

@Major Sharpe The forum crashed about an hour ago, and is still in recovery. Pages should be a bit laggy until the server side issues are ironed out.

@ArisenMoon our characters are more than likely not going to get along lol

@ReusableSword

Which is a good thing for an RP. :D

Neon Lights

Here's my first bash at the fixer GG. Sorry for the delay in posting.

GG

Giselle 'GG' Gibbons

"Don't say a word, I already know what you need."

LOOKS

GG's entire look is designed to give the false impression that she's far more successful and talented than she truly is, giving off the demeanour of a confident and well-connected executive. In truth she's far more grounded than most people who know her would believe, living on whatever income she can scrape together month by month.

The Lie

The Truth

GG likes to think herself as smartly dressed and fashionable, but with her limited income she often ends up wearing the leftovers and scraps her more upmarket 'friends' pass along to her. Her slender 5'4" frame would have most people underestimating her abilities, but to be honest (which she rarely is) she lacks any real combat skill of her own relying instead on the skills of her associates, clients and contacts to keep her safe, along with their secrets. Her coffee skin and brown hair betrays her Latin heritage, unless she's had them both cosmetically adapted at some point to disguise her true origins that is.

PSYCHE

From a young age GG's family have had to claw and scrape to make their way in the world, starting out in the slums until finally her parents managed to find themselves in the dizzying height of lower Corp management. Some may laugh at this, but in truth such ascension would be beyond the wildest dreams of most slum dwellers. This experience is the cornerstone of GG's psyche, with image, power and connections all she ever thinks about. Every so0cial engagement is an opportunity to make new friends, forge alliances and increase her standing in the world. Life is a negotiation, and sometimes you need to play hardball with an empty hand.

HEAT

Although she doesn't always play nice, GG always seems to find a way to shift the blame for her mistakes onto others. While there may be a few petty rivals left in her wake, to the big boys she's nothing but a "Good Girl" even if she does like to play things close to the edge

STREET CRED

While she's a long way from being famous, GG has managed to catch a few eyes higher on the ladder. Her reputation is on the rise, and she's taking every opportunity she can get to make the most of that.

THE STORY

Almost everything GG tells people about her past is a fabrication, designed to help her build a better life for herself and, sometime in the far future, her children. In reality she's a step above a gutter rat, her parents having immigrated to Night City two decades ago and forged a new life for themselves through hard work and determination.

Through their struggles GG learnt that success comes not from being the person working longer hours and many more shifts than anyone else, but through knowing the right people and having contacts in the right places. Since that time she's dedicated herself to being the person to know, the one with the connections to get things done, and the one who can provide anything you could need on short notice, no questions asked.

While she'd never admit it, her list of clients is extensive and ranges from street gang thugs to low-level corporate executives to local celebrities. GG's always on the lookout for more friends however, especially those further up the food chain, and is willing to go to any lengths to help solidify her position as the number one fixer in town.

ARMED IN THE ONE AND TWENTY

• Social Datapad with network uplink protocols
• Wide-band commlink

...AND THE REST

GG's parents were killed several years ago and although she discovered who the culprits were chose to keep their identity secret in exchange for certain favours further down the line. This cold-hearted approach to her work has gained her a reputation and respect in certain quarters, even if some still consider her a callous bitch.

In the Court of the High Queen

Most likely, and Vrenal actually launches raids across the mountain to attack the savages, breaking up any large gathering before they can gather into a true threat.

@ArisenMoon

Carmella de Laurensia: "Hey hey hey! Stop killing my customers!"

In the Court of the High Queen

Vrenal controls most of the passes through the mountains, and numerous forts to keep the savages on the otherside at bay.

@ArisenMoon

Apart from the ones controlled and guarded by the Laurensi?

Well, I say 'guarded' but most of the time the Laurensi guards are too busy trying to sell anyone passing through souvenirs and new equipment rather than actually checking if they should be allowed through.
