So Ellington-Wyver Matriarch #1’s Younger Brother how old is he ? One of my favorites things is playing younger characters.

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

Anywhere under twenty!

[✧Bella✧]

So, I saw that the Matriarch has an older brother, which made me curious about how that works? If she isn't the oldest sibling, why is she the highest ranking?

Married into it! My character and Isabella's character are best friends who married for benefits and to tie their families together nonromantically. So, even though my character has an older brother, she and the other matriarch are the head of the newly-joined family. My character's older brother would still carry the last name Wyver.

[Kiraju]

Alright I think I understand, so basically we use the template we were given and write down the info about it, since I picked the younger brother I’m guessing it goes into voxthain?

Yep! Did you request a character thread?

Not yet I’ll do that right now

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

@Rein I'd be glad to help you if you need anything! It seems a little confusing at first but once you get some help and guidance, it'll come as easy as breathing <3

[Isabella, ɪᴛ’ꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ᴇᴀꜱʏ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ᴏʟᴅ]

Also Rein if you want your character to not be male, I say go for it. I want you to have the creative freedom to do what you want with the character. The only stipulations are that 1. They’re siblings to my matriarch and 2. They’re younger than my matriarch

[Kiraju]

Mk

[✧Bella✧]

So, would it be possible for my councilor to also be the older brother of the one matriarch? btw, how old would he be?

[Isabella, ɪᴛ’ꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ᴇᴀꜱʏ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ᴏʟᴅ]

Ooooooooooooooo I love. I think that makes a lot of sense for the power dynamics at play in Voxthain. We’ll see if Rory has anything in particular in mind but as an initial thought I’d say older than mid twenties

Please put the additional claim in the claims so that I don’t forget. I’m so scatterbrained

[✧Bella✧]

Ok

hmm, I've got Tom Blyth for his face claim atm, would that work?

[Isabella, ɪᴛ’ꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ᴇᴀꜱʏ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ᴏʟᴅ]

I can already tell you yes and Rory is going to be screaming and so excited

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

I say yes! And likely 28-35 is what I'm thinking

[✧Bella✧]

Alright, sound great. :)

[old acc.]

okay, so we’re pretty much allowed to have just about any sort of magical ability for each character, correct? would people in the same bloodline have similar abilities, or would they differentiate?

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

yep, all magic (not overpowered and main character-y but you know that) is allowed. and yeah bloodlines can determine what kind of magic someone has an affinity for, but everyone can use any magic if they learn and hone it

[old acc.]

okay sweet, thank you suh

[✧Bella✧]

I was wondering, obviously there's stuff where science meets magic stuff in this world when it comes to like inventions, but could there be a similar thing with, say chemistry (kinda like magical alchemy)?Np if not, I was just wondering.

[Isabella, ɪᴛ’ꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ᴇᴀꜱʏ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ᴏʟᴅ]

yeah absolutely! i was starting to lean that direction with asterath specifically (although it could be done anywhere) towards the end of worldbuilding last night. i am excited to see what you do with it

[✧Bella✧]

Nice! I'm thinking my navigator might be an alchemist... I'm not 100% sure tho...

[ellie]

How long have the Runalite crew been on/around Voxthain and Asterath and where are they based when they're all together, etc?

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

we wanted everyone to make their claims on the squad first and then we would work that out because everyone will be spread out and we can make a topic for their main base once that's sorted

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

i'd say at the start of roleplay, a good three months so they have had time to form relationships and to steal some magic, as well as make the realization that living people hold more magic than simple objects and erm, to murder xD

[ellie]

ooh amazing ok thank you!!

[ashh ³³ ᵈᵘ ᵈᵘ ᵈᵘ]

how did the pets end up in the crew? can we make something up with the character sheets?

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

yep let me know if they were your character's pet before and they refused to leave them or if the pet just followed them and stuck around, we didn't get that far. for the technomancer, we specifically made Beaker to be a little companion (get it, a science Beaker? XD)

[ashh ³³ ᵈᵘ ᵈᵘ ᵈᵘ]

🤨 okay my plan was lumi (dogs >>>) but sure yeah i can do beaker that's actually kinda cute

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

no do it where your technomancer named beaker but lumi is their little sidekick ezpz

[ellie]

how long is each elected councillor's term for voxthain?

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

for voxthain and asterath both, councilors stay in position until they step down, die, or get "impeached" or the people want them off the council.

[ellie]

amazing, thank you!

also rory

would it be possible, like, to have the runalite leader have been part of the community once in voxthain, and then ran off to Faerûn? And then came back as the leader in runalite's squad later on when the shadowfog became a bigger danger/out of greed and all that shit?

bc then I can be at peace thank you

[ashh ³³ ᵈᵘ ᵈᵘ ᵈᵘ]

yes, and then runalithe also have an explanation on like how they just know random shat about voxthian/asterath

[ellie]

^^ ash thank u sm lol

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

that could work. it would be reasonable and a single exception because they're the leader but the vibe there is that the continents are so far apart that they know little about each other. but for the leader with ulterior motives? yes. do it.

[Aurora, ᴍᴀʏ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴀᴄᴏɴ ʙᴜʀɴ]

also you used the accent on Faerûn thank you you just got seven rory brownie points

[ellie]

thanks.
