Lo once more bloods, for those that dont know this is the player-side account of DM Duke and while im DMing I also have a revalation about another matter that has come to my attention. I am seeking THREE long term members to complete the six heirs of Darcy Erianne's family tree... Indeed, I thought over it for a while and wondered as to the depth of the possibility of making the entire family by myself then considered that would be selfish and somewhat boring. No, I think I need a sidekick but of course that depends how willing players are. Now... im not going to offer this to just anyone so im afraid this is going to be a bit more of a personal matter. However, I will leave instruction on how to apply to hear more about the offers available. Currently I have three offers in mind: A Brief Erianne Backstory: Lord Darcy Erianne, is an infamous Cromyran Noble who made alot of... friends in low places. He was particularly good at not getting caught doing this and managed to make himself as elegant and noteworthy as any other Cromyr family. Lord Darcy however was a very, productive man, with a wife and at least a harem of adultries in his history Lord Darcy was good at keeping people in check or selling them for the right price. He left a legacy of high profits from his low dealings and alot of friends in the dark of Toril and even planes and other primes beyond. Now his heirs have long vied for his financial estate, three of which are known to the playerbase. Felicia, A Lady of status in the Fated faction of Sigil. Catarianna, a black sheep with a quasi-thayan birth and Alphonse, the present inheritor of family fortune. But three others exist... three others who compete for good, neferius or undecided reasons to take the rightful inheritance of Lord Darcy's fortunes. Only one however can inevitably win this family feud. Without further adeu, this is the first of two remaining choices: Delilah Erianne, The Bastard: Delilah is almost as old as Felicia making her the second youngest in the family next to Catarianna. She is also the result of Lord Darcy and an intimiate Elven consort making her a half-elf and the only true bastard in the family. Appearence wise, she shares the Raven Blue hair of her family but is naturally a half-elf. She can be a half-drow if the person feels able to play that instead but id like a good explination into that story first. Delilah is the other side of the coin. She has constantly been undermined by Felicia and Alphonse and with Catarianna extrodited to Thay and Benedict elsewhere, she is the third potential inheritor but the weakest to the claim. Delilah spent all of her time working closley with Lord Darcy's finest Assassin known only as Mister Sable. The dark rogue was responsible for raising her in the art of politics and training her to master cunning, ambition and wisdom. She is an extremely resorceful and clever woman and very careful and calculative in how she attains her possition. Delilah is strongly envious of her brother Alphonse because he was constantly given the most attention in the family tree. She also repulses Felicia for being the only other female (she knows of) and views both as competition. Having been ignored all her life, when her father passed on and Alphonse inherited their fortune, she felt not only angered but vengeful. Now, she craves the opportunity to take what she desires and she will make what ever alliances and degrade herself to any level in order to win her rightful claim, even if it means killing everyone in the way. Applying to be Delilah: What I would like to see is a PM to my inbox as wither DM Duke or Captain Vanguard, detailing a 500 word short story about Delilah's training with Mister Sable. Bonuses for touching on her relationship with her brother and sister and her distasteful relationship with her fathers traditionalist attitude. The most convincing story will be rewarded the possition and as a note, Delilah I consider to be either Lawful or Neutral Evil. Finally: Ryan Erianne, The Outsider Ryan Erianne is the bastard of Lord Darcy's romp with a Tiefling. Fitting to his self-proclaimed title, Ryan spends less time in the manor of the Erianne state and more interested in exploring the rest of Toril for his own personal venture. Ryan was more interested in knowing who his mother is than caring about his father and the family fortune. He is much like his sister Delilah a bastard in the family but unlike Delilah he has no real care for the profit unless somehow it might help him find his mother. Again, like all the Erianne's Ryan shares his fathers raven blue hair. His skin colour may be anything the user prefers and his mothers origin may also be equally subjective. Ryan is the middle ground of the family and fills the True Neutral spot, reprisenting the undecided figure of Erianne politics. He may or may not become involved if theres a motivation for it, but his concerns are generally away from family matters. Ryan doesnt get on very well with his sibling Delilah as he feels she obsesses to much over the estate and the family inheritance. As such, he spends more of his time in the company of Alphonse for a time, before he comes to realise Alphonse is more cunning and clever than he seems. When his father died, Ryan was the only Erianne to sense the danger, and fled whne there was time. Now he persues his outlandish travels in search for his secondary origin, wanting to find out just where his mothers blood lies and just how important she was to the lower planes. Applying to be Ryan: Id like to see a 500 word short story as the other two are mentioned, send to my PM via Captain Vanguard or DM Duke. This time id like to see a story regarding one of Ryan's adventures in persuit of answers, the writer is free to determine his mothers species and significance (nothing too fancy though please). Bonus Points for those who create a significant link between Lord Darcy and Ryan's mother and specifically why Lord Darcy took an interest in her. I will expect all of these applications to be well considered before hand. Id like to note that I will be judging based upon three important things: 1. Activity, how active the player is and can be for the next 6 months. That is a long time but this isnt a 3 day event, its something I intend to linger for a good while. 2. Depth, I am interested to see how deeply they get involved in the matter. I wont just give people who dont "try" to be involved the benefit. You have to actually 'want' to be apart of this, otherwise, theres no point in us trying. 3. Notoriety, being known is a benefit, especially if your well known so keep that in mind. If your not well known, now is a good time to start making friends, or building empires. Final Note: I will not always be present to play an Erianne (namley Alphonse, Felicia or Catarianna) so I expect those that are around might spair some time to activly do so as the char they've been chosen for. Granted, everyone is entitled to breaks and to enjoy the char, you should have the right to play it when you feel. But I dont want a situation where the char is never being used, or is used for one month then neglected entirley for the next 6. So with that, feel free to let me know if anyone is interested to take up this cup. Be it a known player, a DM or a new but eager player that intends to stick it out. I will be very unbiased in my judgement, I assure you that. |
