Red String of Fate (OOC) (OPEN) (Courting)

[Scornerse]

Man, the thread seems pretty busy, I haven't even gotten a chance to read yet!

I'm starting to get the feeling, that this will be one of the consequences of her current trajecory...

Elly already gave someone a warning about her.

But every good story needs a villain

I see Sartana as Elly's polar opposite, a worthy rival.

idk how going after the type of person who turned around and slapped random bystander counts as being a villain, but, ok.

Your introduction had Sartana thinking on how to assault the court :v

She's a pretty interesting character regardless.

Also I didn't read anything past my last post yet.

My apologies for butting in. According to Urban Dictionary, metagaming is "[w]hen game information outside of what is available in a game is used to give a player an advantage in-game."
For example, it would be, if Hisa and Mari knew, that Nova had not one personality inside of their head, but several.
If you want, our lassies can soon part ways.

Also, TFF - quite bold. ; )

Oh, don't worry about butting in. It was informative. And all the participants are bound to meet each-other, sooner or later so there's no real rush. As explained ICly, Nova knows they're an outsider, culturally and ethnically, so they wanna get to know people on the same boat to potentially buddy-up.

specialties like Akafemiðr, Saefask and Vænn. Could be interesting for Nova to try some if she's interested.

Also, posted! Apologies for the wait, I expanded a bit on the post I was originally going to put up. Hope y'all enjoy the extra fluff on this one.

Woo, more details. I'll reply soon.

[The Holy Solar Empire]

Seems Elly is here for business, but I guess a head start in the diplomacy department isn't gonna hurt.

Alas the night is young, and there is much to see

Edit: Woo boi, and more dancing, I suck at writing those lol.

Ok, I replied to Ymir, FF. I'm sure Grimes will eventually realize that, unlike in the 50s, chain smoking isn't normal, hehehe.

Also, Kyrenaia, I hope you don't mind Nova making an extended move, sorta. I found a way to feasibly squeeze in a blunder when they handed over their own little "card" in the previous post.

You guys don’t give each other business cards?

In the previous page, Mari gave Nova a business card. Nova handed Mari a...card with radio channel frequencies.

Absolutely no problem. I actually kind of like it.

Post coming tomorrow, I won't be at a proper keyboard until then. Sorry to keep His Royal Majesty waiting, Forest.

I’m thinking of bringing a second character: a paralyzed ALS-suffering countess. Somewhat like Stephen Hawking but with cyberware that basically allows her to move around in her wheelchair without other’s help. Will that be accepted here?

Here is her half-written personality description if y’all interested
The highest value for her is life. Not only her life, but the life of every creature around. Suffering from ALS, she is able to truly understand the value of every moment that a person lives. She considers beautiful, oddly enough, health. For her, unfortunately, the unattainable ideal of beauty is a healthy, strong body. At the same time, she considers it disgusting when a person, having the opportunity to physically develop, burns his health in vain. She has a sharply negative attitude towards alcohol and tobacco, and do not even mention drugs with her, since stimulants can hardly cope with controlling the emerging hatred. Her moral principles, although not as strict as those of most of her fellow citizens, she adheres to them most severely. So, for her, the highest prohibition is the murder of a loved one, as well as suicide. Even when she lay with her eyes closed before receiving the prostheses, she was still confident that she would get out. Never and under no circumstances did she ever think about suicide. Unlike Lavinia, she is capable of lying if it is considered a lie "not to tell the whole truth", however, she will try to avoid it because she believes that the truth will somehow surface and it will not be too much fun to get out. .. She quite deeply believes in Glyton, and although she will not try to force her religious beliefs down one's throat, woe to anyone who dares to offend her faith with her - the stream of abusive insults and swearing from the speaker, coupled with attempts to ram a wheelchair, cannot be avoided ... From life she wants to live it, learning and seeing as much as possible - the world around her, the beauty of everyday life! She is afraid of death, she is terribly afraid. In her lifetime, she has seen what death is, and especially what a terrible death is. Her fear of dying is so strong that it sometimes leads to tragicomic situations. At the sight of a dead body, she will most likely stand in place - the brain will receive a dose of stimulants so that it does not order to live a long time from excessive overexcitation. Nevertheless, it is quite difficult to scare her - she endures everything except her own death with amazing resilience, once even trying to help arrest a robber on the street - it ended in an accident involving 11 cars and severe injuries to several people, it was worth it. With all this, she is more than romantic, believing that somewhere out there awaits the One, the One who will love her in spite of her physical limitations. I suppose there is no need to point out that she is more than optimistic. The attitude of others towards her is important to her exactly as long as it is beneficial for her / important for her moral guidelines and values. After that, of course, she will not start "peeing under the door", but she may begin to behave more openly.

Dumped a post, my characters are free again to talk/fistfight/sadpost.

Update: posted, because who needs sleep anyway?

Update: posted, because who needs sleep anyway?

Sleep is for the weak.
That being said, I really like your description of your sword - and that gift is not unoriginal at all. Quite on the contrary, the two gifts of you and I have an interesting difference, to my understanding.

Post will be up relatively soon, apologizes for the wait!

No problem - sleep might be for the weak, but RL is more important.

EDIT: TSP, post will come once TFF has posted.

I have to say no on this idea. If you wanted to bring on another character you still can and I do like this character idea as a character idea, but I see two major flaws that make it impossible for this particular RP.
1) Ivan couldn't consider marrying her due to her diagnosis. Even if he didn't have any issues with it, the rest of the court would and Ivan would basically be handing the throne over to his brother Ari. I can't see any avenue where she would be supported as a potential queen, especially since The Frozen Forest leans on the traditional rather than liberal side in terms of culture.
2) Being she has ALS she wouldn't be able to participate in the ball and would be stuck on the sidelines, which is no fun. She could watch the tournament still, but just based off her personality it's doubtful she would enjoy it since there is a real risk of participants dying (accidentally, but still)

I wouldn't be opposed to having her in future RP's though.

Good to see the new posts! I'll obviously need to do a little editing and adding onto my post before it'll be ready, but it will be today that it goes up, could be as early as a couple hours.

Very much enjoyed.
Though, admittedly, I haven't thought of Ivan maybe giving the swords a hidden meaning - after all, the Type 4 was indeed used by Lasite mountain bandits. Among us in OOC, there isn't an implication of Ivan being a bandit for accepting one of these, and Amina wouldn't hold it against him, if he weren't to carry one of the sabres the next day.
If he manage to steal one of the girls' hearts, though, he would become a bit of bandit. ; )

[Brettenwald]

You know, I think I like where this is going :D

[Scornerse]

Post is up! Please enjoy!

So, is this guy talking to Sartana someone one might know about with enough research or is this someone she'll have to ask about?

[The Saucer Pilots]

EDIT: TSP, post will come once TFF has posted.

Ok.

I might as well wait to respond to TFF too in order to make the replies a little neater. Hoo boy, what question Ymir asked. A culture shock is incoming in some way or another, I imagine.

[The Holy Solar Empire]

Posted, things are getting interesting

I'm thinking some fundamental cultural values differences are making Elly not like Ari much.

It's really just one of those things where Ivan has to consider appearances and double meanings (whether it does exist or not). It won't affect his choice the following day as to which blade he displays publicly.

With enough research one could definitely know about him, though since he's not part of the public political atmosphere of TFF the research would have to have been more into TFF's economy and it's business leaders. If you would like Sartana to know prior to asking just let me know and i'll give you a rundown of who he is.

[Polish Prussian Commonwealth]

So, who else is free atm?

[Kyrenaia]

Ok.

Working on it. ; )

EDIT: And done.

Sounds like a fun next day.
And yes, he is in a similar boat with that standpoint as, for example, the Sultana and even Amina herself, although for them it is not only what is gifted to them, but by whom. I imagine, that Ivan has to worry about the latter as well.
