Kingless Symphony: Emissary of Ascension

Okay, I finally finished the formatting and general text of each region stuff. I did this all in one sitting for probably 6+ hours straight and so I left some things out / didn't word things incredibly, so I'm definitely going to return to this tomorrow/two days from now. I am super tired.

You guys can start reserving stuff or wait for more information at some point. While you guys wait for the sigils to be done, these are the following:

Sigil of House Lear: Crow
Sigil of House Ralei: Fox
Sigil of House Rathmore: Snake

I am reserving the heir to House Lear (oldest son to the Lord).

Hi, I'll be working in Ambra's place for the time being. I've finished the fancy formatting of the OOC, along with its subsidiary posts and pictures. All that's left is some polishing, writing the plot to replace the lorem ipsum text, and looking towards the graphics.

So, in the mean time, we have decided the names on the three major Houses.

The North is ruled by House Lear, regional capital is Penkarth.
The South is ruled by House Ralei, regional capital is Caerleon.
The West is ruled by House Rathmore, regional capital is The Windkeep. House Rathmore is also the seat of the King of Estiala.
The East is no longer considered a ruling region, as it has been abandoned and forbidden to enter. No characters will be from here.

In addition to us naming a few minor Houses in service to these major ones later on, you guys and gals can also create a minor House of your own, from which your character can originate from. There won't be a limit on how many characters you can have, but the general rule of thumb is that you should only make as much as you can develop equally and handle.

Now, for some cool stuff for you, our participants; as you know, each House must name a Lord in its rule. This especially applies to... the major Houses.
When the OOC goes up, the Lords of the major Houses will be open for anyone to claim except for the incumbent King of Estiala. The children, who are the Princes and Princesses of these Houses, will also be open for anyone to claim.

This will operate on a first-come-first-serve basis. Another general rule of thumb for this would be to limit each person to only having one character as a Lord to a House. That would mean you can not have a character who is the Lord of Penkarth, and another character who is the Head of another minor/major House in any region. You can still make the Princes or Princesses to the same Lord character, or other minor/major Houses, if they are not taken.

At the same time, it is not required to create a Lord or Prince/Princess. You can simply create someone such as a ward to a House, a wandering knight seeking a lord for service, and etc.

Since this roleplay is moreso drawing influences from Game of Thrones (similar plot themes, terminology, etc), Estiala itself is not a massive continent like Westeros. The number of Houses for each region is different based on size, but compared to Game of Thrones, there will be fewer minor Houses, in order to make more sense and avoid potential confusion. A lot of these minor Houses will pretty much only be mentioned, but not controlled by us. Maybe in the future, those opportunities may be explored.

I'd probably go off of these numbers:

The North - House Lear, 2-4 minor Houses
The South - House Ralei, 3-5 minor Houses
The West - House Rathmore (seat of the King), 1-3 minor Houses

I think that's it for now. Sorry that it may be taking a little longer, but we are putting in an unusual amount of effort to make this roleplay the best that Ambra and I have done.

Zombie Apocalypse, anyone?

I'm interested.

Hi

The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

What unlucky timing! :(

I was actually going to also say that Ambra and I would be taking our leave. School is hard for the both of us, to say the least. I've also lost interest over time from the OOC conflicts being 70% of concentrated writing as opposed to IC.

Whoever is still around can control my character as an NPC to potentially kill off later, or even kill off now if you want.

Hope to see any of you around.

Hi, I may be able to reply tonight, depending on if I have time or not. Tomorrow, I will not be able to, most definitely.

No it wasn't Jason it was someone else, I think Walter but I'm not sure. Have to go back and look for it. But someone wrote in their post that their character was kind of annoyed with having a baby there because they can make noise.

Nope! Not me!

Walter Pierce

For no logical reasoning, Walter found himself quietly clapping his hands together towards Nikki, who had been dancing on the street. It was a little random, despite how reminiscent it felt, reminiscent of how things had been back at Dana Point. Even as something that the man simply stomached and accepted as reality, the fact that they once had something to protect, something to make them feel safe; it was gone.

Walter found it difficult to conjure up memories of their past life, he himself only able to recount his family and the certain moments in his walk down adolescence. And when he compared the world of old, how broken and ugly it could have been; he somewhat held an appreciation for how beautiful it had become, in the wake of its ending. Nature was reclaiming her earth, and their sins were personified in the monsters they defended themselves from.

"I'm thinking we need more supplies," Walter suggested, rubbing the side of his head. Fatigue still hammered the man's senses, but he would pull himself through. "I'm out of water. And now, we have a baby and a dog to feed. Complicates things."

"So what was it like? Out there, for that long? Without any place to go to?"

Walter could still see it, then; trembling, looking down at his bloodied hands. One moment he was sitting before the survivor, choked up and unwilling to speak of the family he had killed, and the other, sitting in front of the corpses, on the verge of vomiting at what he had done.

The guilt washed up throughout his body. He failed to swallow his doubt of deserving to make it, but even then, what did it matter now? Walter had made it, above the murders-- no, it was self-defense. They turned their weapons on him, first, that had to have meant that it hadn't been in cold-blood. Even the fucking kid, right?

"Walt, I can help you. You don't look so well... what happened out there?"

Walter tried to shake his head, to deny all of the eyes that watched him, but he was frozen. A single heartbeat resounded from the vacant husk that was his body, reminding the nineteen-year old that he was still alive.

"I shouldn't have survived."

The young man woke when Ethan came with a short knock on the door to his room. Walter blinked a couple of times, half-asleep as his eyelids refused to open. Peering through the narrow slits, he sat his back up against the wall, drawing a long yawn to find that he had been drenched in sweat over the memory. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves, unaware that his hands had been trembling in tension.

Walter took a moment to compose himself, deciding to take a healthy swig from his canteen before it went empty. "Well, shit."

After throwing on his shirt and setting his belt tightly against his waist, Walter shuffled down the stairs to see that the group was already beginning to assemble outside. Slapping the exhaustion from his face, he lifted his backpack from the spot at the chair, quickly checking the contents inside just in case. When all was well, he pranced outside and flanked Rowena, joining up with them quietly.

Hey, I have a word of advice.

Feeding one another's anger is literally prolonging a pointless argument.

There's the fucking time skip that we asked for. It has been around for a long time, now.

So go reply to it instead of trying to prove who is 'right' and 'wrong' here. You're all wrong because you're all being assholes.

Let's be Fonz cool.
