"Nar Mat Kordh-Ishi" - Orcish Mercenary RP

Eeee, and I might, I might. I'm not good at avoiding temptation.

First off, this is a pretty good site for appearances if anyone's looking. Admittedly, the pictures are small, but there's plenty there, and supposedly, they've all been credited to the artists. It's good for browsing and character idea purposes, anyway.

Secondly, there should possibly be status applied to the wargs too. I'm assuming, since they're the replacement of cavalry, that not everyone in the Company would have one. So maybe officers above a certain rank get them. Perhaps fights between wargs are morale boosters/evening entertainment when not on duty. And maybe, if they consider them an advantage, as they surely must, maybe anyone who looks after a warg(s) might have a higher status, even if they hold the same rank, as someone who doesn't? I mean, looking after a horse is one thing(and has been known to come with prestige), but keeping charge of a carnivorous beast that might enjoy ripping your hand off and that can probably be used as an offensive weapon even without a rider is another thing entirely. That being said, it's a toss up between prowess and useful skill whether any orc being a 'wargmaster' would be put into an elite squad on the offchance they've got no one to replace him if he does go down in the fighting... But they could still be important NPCs to interact with.

Also, I was thinking, you mentioned non-orc characters being limited, particularly if they're part of the Comapny. At least, I think you did, I can't find the mention anymore, but anyway! There should be some legends surrounding the big guns and/or anyone who is not an orc but who works with them, because legends are fun and can also be good motivators to fall into line behind someone.

Would there be any trouble, amongst these outcasts, concerning the rank they might have held before they got exiled? Like a higher ranked officer giving a command to someone who might have been above them had they still been in clans? And how did they go about uniting the outcasts of separate clans who would, presumably, still have at least some clannish thoughts concerning those from other clans?

Hey Dharc, would your char have been a guard up until Janolf took over and then he's a sellsword? And whether or not that's how it works, how you planning on getting him together with the rest of the group? Eventually... :P

I can't help coming back to this thread to read any new post... Would you mind if I offered input even if I don't plan on joining? (and lordy but I might have to change my mind if it gets any more awesome)

I like these character concepts. It's fun when people might have ulterior motives. :)

That does indeed make sense. :)

This does look interesting, I think I'm at my limit though, so I'll just have to stalk. But good luck with it! :)

And if whole families can wind up as outcasts, is it not possible that a shaman might displease a warlord enough to be set aside? I'm sure violent politics include some form of religious contention between ambitious shamans and new ideas shamans and traditional shamans...

Whoops, sorry, double post.

I've got myself a middle-aged thief of good morals but flexible ethics who isn't exactly a pinnacle of society, though he used to be a relatively good thief. Unfortunately for his profession, he also, currently, isn't in possession of permanent thumbs and lives among the Ilvance Emperor's hounds, as one of them... I was thinking he might tag along because he befriended little Darlond. Who reminds him of his own little girl, and thus, he'd have a bit of fatherly instinct motivating him there.

I do, I've got two, though one preferred, I sent you a pm about it, Thistle. :)

Edit: and looks like you got it, lol
