I need to remember to get a new SSD for wilds and other stuff. NGL I'm hating the era of new games hitting +100 GB. Regardless, I'm glad that MH has blown up and no longer niche

It's gonna be gas. Can't wait to see what sort nonsense you can pull of in focus mode with the funlance and hunting horn. Also, looking forward to new monsters to skin and wear as hats.

Bio
Just some rando. I'm 20+ so no worries about rping with a kid.
Anyway I'll start once the people that have PM'd me get their characters done.
Also we need to chose on what is the mysterious thing in the village that I mentioned in the Int Check. Either some structure clearly not built by the people or ruins which are either nearby or hidden under the village.
Also I forgot to add this: Please place your characters in the character tab
Sounds something that would be better discussed in PMs. Also yes you would lie. Also keep in mind the secret is basically a plot point so there should be something attached to why this age difference is important.
In a world full of many lands, peoples, and wonders there exists a humble settlement. Nestled amongst the wilderness in the borderlands of two greater territories this village seems like any other village; people work and live there providing for most of the needs for the village. Although it is not to say that they are completely independent and alone for that is far from the truth.
The village acts a rest spot between destinations and has a large and busy tavern dedicated to these travelers which produces a fair bit of income as well allowing for regular enough trade to provide with items that cannot be produced and which are needed or wanted in the case of goods. It also allows for their population to swell as some travelers find themselves curiously drawn to the place.
Yet regardless of whether they were born or just immigrated from elsewhere everyone and even the village all share something in common. They all have a secret, a fate, something that will be revealed that will affect them and others for better or worse. This is a village full of secrets where they will emerge some time or another.
Overview
Welcome all to the The village of secrets. In this game you play as denizens of Tanjozo, the village. Whether you’re recent arrivals or those have been born and raised in the village you’ll all have your own jobs as you go through your daily routines in the village. On top of that you’ll all have a Secret that is a plothook of sorts that will help provide plot points for you and others to participate as well as provide a nice contrast to the calmer mundane slice of life type stuff. On top of that there may be some overarching plot stuff tied to the village and it’s mysterious environs and possibly other things that you could tie your secret to.
The general idea is there will be a balance/mix between the slice of life elements with the characters and their relationships spiced up with dramatic and perhaps high flying action stuff which the secrets will help fuel to provide an interesting flavor to the stories.
Village Facts
Economy By and large the village is self-sufficient to a certain degree. But it will also sell goods and surplus resources to passing caravans as well as buy things that cannot be produced be it natural resources for building things or goods. Within the village the people tend to do transactions either with the old fashioned method of bartering goods and services or they use the trade coin used in the area known as a Guilder, so called because it was implemented for cross national trade by a large trading guild whose territory happens to include the village.
Education Currently formal education as we know is fairly limited in Tanjozo. There is a couple of school houses scattered about but education is mandatory but those who are in schooling will learn basic writing, reading, and arithmetic. Learning a trade is more common and it takes place in the form of the master/apprentice system.
What we may call secondary education doesn’t exist as there aren’t enough people to build up for it so those who wish to learn advanced subjects will need to head out. There exists a tiny amount of these people either those who returned back home or those have settled. They might offer tutoring in the subject but again they are small segment of the population and it’s generally easier to go out the village and find an expert.
Government The village governs itself by usage of a council with each person usually covering some area of governance and together they provide laws and whatnot. The may use envoys to represent them to gather information or to represent them in assemblies should they be busy. They convene in the center of the village in a modestly sized building dedicated to government which acts as the official domain for the council.
Sentinels The Sentinels are peace keeping force of sorts that operate semi-independently of the Council. They are responsible as acting as police as well as occasionally helping out the Council in certain assignments such as monster patrol as there have been occasional large scale threats that needed to be taken care of. They also at rare times be sent outside the village for certain things like aid after a disaster. They are made up of volunteers who take shifts before returning to do their actual job.
Although there may be some who decide to have it as a full time job and as such are made to be compensated in the form of a decent salary in Guilders along with any payment from individuals for services rendered individual salaries are dependent on rank as well as position with more dangerous positions paying better. To become a Sentinel, one must demonstrate skill combat especially in non-lethal techniques, laws of the village, and they must have seven character witnesses. From there they will be organized under squads lead by experienced members before proper assignment.
Magic There are magic users in the village although they are not necessarily uniform in their areas of knowledge and most of them tend to gravitate towards more utilitarian functions over flashier combat magic although there are some mage Sentinels in employ.

Points of interest
Sentinel HQ The main base of the sentinels which acts as a gathering spot,jail, and armory. Citizens can come here to request aid to the various secretaries inside. The building is a large wood and stone building with two floors. A surface level and a basement.
TownHall This is the place where all affairs related to the council are held as well as acting as meeting place and storage facility for records.
Dead Horse Inn One of the larger taverns that's dedicated to housing travelers. Locals like to visit the tavern for trading yarns, doing business, and learning news. Also the Inn's specialty is a roasted hog cooked with a secret blend of herbs and spices is a real crowd pleaser along with their signature brew made of Soosberries found in the nearby woods.
I'll be updating the landmark list as more players join as well with GM made locations.
