@KazAlkemi Honestly is up to you. Because the Castle is essentially a walled in community, it isn't weird for someone to know a lot of different people from various walks of life. So you can know everyone to begin if you like - or nearly anyone. But you are only required to know one other character and as the RP proceeds, you'll eventually meet others.


Dr. Dorothy Pender & Dr. Fitz Townsley


Location: Lady Luck's
Skills: Perception (Dorothy)

"Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that there are any big boys around," Dorothy shot back. She had always enjoyed verbal swordplay and with the moment to clear her head, she was quite honestly feeling a little bit better. Perhaps Daphne would enjoy life on the ship without working as a pilot - it could be a chance for Daphne to learn a new trade or to get out her youthful rebelliousness. Of course, Dorothy knew that she was thinking as an older sister and not a medical officer or a second in command at the moment, but it didn't matter. "But I suppose the present company will have to do."

Her eyes flickered over to the dance floor, managing to catch a glimpse of a dark haired stranger making his way over to Anisa. She continued to watch them as a brief conversation appeared to happen, followed with Anisa and Harper making their way from the dance floor. She had to imagine it was some contact with a job for them - which she figured at this point, they likely needed one.

"Y-you forgot to deal Daphne in," Fitz pointed out, the thought not even crossing his mind that it could have been intentional. He looked over his own cards quickly, sorting them in numerical order. While he didn't know the rules of this game, an organized hand was always better than a disorganized hand.

"So he did. While the big boy is dealing in Daphne, I'll explain the rules," Dorothy said sharply. "The rules of pai gow may seem complicate at first, but they become clearer with practice. The objective is to create two poker hands that beat the dealer's two hands. One of these hands, called the big hand, has five cards. The small hand has two cards. The big hand's rank must exceed the small hand's," Dorothy explained. She reorganized her own cards as she did so.

"Now that the cards have been dealt, we assign betting positions. The player acting as the banker this round - in this case, likely Dr. Moreau - will be position one. We count counter-clockwise. Now, if your hand beats the banker's hands, you win that bet. If you can only beat one of the banker's hands, you push, meaning neither you nor the banker wins. Ties also go to the banker and as you can imagine, if you lose...Well, you lose," Dorothy concluded.

Fitz nodded, running all of the schematics over in his mind once more. While he was going to undoubtedly have questions, he figured he'd play this first round safe, just in order to get the hang of it. But he couldn't deny - it did sound like fun. Sure, it wasn't the most interest game he had ever played, but often times, it was the people that made the game worth playing. "I th-think I understand," Fitz replied. He then smiled at Foy as he toasted to his health. "Th-thanks - to yours too," he finished.
@LadyRunic Cool beans, move him on over and get on those relations. ^_^ Same as before with the others, need at last one, Arya can serve as a "catch all" if you have trouble.
@LadyRunic Okies, here are the descriptions for his general skills -

Knife Fighting - The ability to use a bladed weapon no longer than 14 inches in combat without unintentionally injuring oneself.
Pickpocketing - Skill in stealing small items from individuals without noticing.
Sneaking - The ability to gain access to secure locations without detection.
Running - The ability to run long distances at speeds greater than those unskilled.
Sword Fighting - Proficiency with a blade longer than 14 inches in combat, including the general rules of etiquette for dueling.
Rooftop running/climbing - Parkour! The user has proficiency in scaling vertical objects, as well as keeping footing on elevated and uneven terrain.
Playing at the smiling man - The ability to appear as the "Smiling Man" without raising suspicions.
@KazAlkemi Approved ^^ Please move him over to the CS tab. You'll need to have at least one relation in your relations sheet, and if you're feeling stuck, feel free to reach out. Arya will serve as a "catch all" for anyone left without a relation. But as more people get their sheets in, should be easier to sort those out.
@KazAlkemi Looks good, just one quick edit needed. Please swap out the descriptions on his general skills to read the following:

  • Astronomy - The ability to read the heavens and use the movements of the stars as a map. This includes knowledge of the phases of the moon and their significance in indicating the time of year, as well as the impact on the tides.
  • Bow and Arrow (Hunting) - The ability to hunt various game with skill and precision. This does not include the use of a bow and arrow as a combat weapon, nor does it include the use of a crossbow.
  • Carpentry - The ability to craft various items out of wood. This includes basic sketching and design, as well as the use of geometry for calculations.
  • Music - The ability to carry a tune and read music. This includes a slight proficiency in various instruments, though the user is by no means an expert of them - they simply have a knack for musical performance.
  • General Fighting - The ability to meet a foe in combat. This skill includes basic proficiency in brawling, yet not combat with weapons.
  • City Knowledge (the Port) - The knowledge of where to find various shops and other locations at the Port without great trouble.
  • Cooking - The ability to prepare a dish without poisoning oneself or others.
@KazAlkemi Sending you skills, Darke Name, and residence now ^_^
@BlueSky44 Per our PM conversation, all good. Move her over and feel free to get working on relations. Remember, she needs at least one.
@greenvoid While there can be male members, they are incredibly rare. So there’s a limit of 2 male members per Coven.

Send me a PM and we can work out a tidbit for you to put under extras ^^
@ihinka That would work ^_^
