Emily is going to college in Gibberan, otherwise, yes.

OK. Keep in mind that this RP is more centered around daily life, though. You can, however, still interact with Namorese officials although don't do so in regards to an international crisis (which can belong to their relative RPs).

All right

[Britanno]

Just a quick question.

I'm new to these city RPs, in fact I've never done one. Could I ask what exactly you do? Crime? Education? I'm a little unsure at the moment.

[Pavonistade]

Name: Atara Monschton
Age (18-100): 23
Family: 0 in Namo[r]; in Pavonistade, there are family members and relatives
Gender: Female
Appearance (description of how [s]he looks like or picture):

Personality: Marginally curious, cheerful, communitarian, centrist
Occupation: Scouter/employee for the Pavonistadian technological-electronics giant Electrocosm and for the private research organization Lesalshes et Devlopemnet (Research and Development). "Scouter" is a Pavonistadian term used to refer to someone who is tasked with investigating the build-up and demographics of a city - for example, population's opinion on something - and using that data to conclude for the company(ies) if expansion to a place (in this case, Namo) is possible and/or can be advantageous.
Description of life: Atara was born on March 9, 1991 in the city of Gordhoss to James and Helen Monschton, both of which are employees of Electrocosm. She attended the University of Gordhoss where she received an economics degree, but not before enrolling in a Minors Employment Program (people 13 years and under are taught about work, etc. and are brought to workplaces) at age 12 and before being employed in Electrocosm as a store manager and analyst at first. Atara now works as a scouter and would be sent to Namo to look at the possibility of an Electrocosm expansion into Namor, but she would become attracted to the city and decided to live there for some time.
Nationality: Pavonistadian

From Ascent of Glory:

Pavonistade City
The day was sweltering and mildly humid, and the blue sky was clear of most clouds. The glistering white Sun shone above the sluggishly-expanding Pavonistade City, centered on federal buildings.

A moderately-sized crowd had gathered outside of the aging massive Pavonistadian Parliament, upon hearing news that Ceuks will be addressing the Indefinite. Eager to hear the words of the President, many kinds of people - mothers and their infants, elders, children and adolescents, - packed around the entrance. The burning tropical heat did not seem to deter the noisy crowd from dispersing.

Soon from the Parliament appeared a figure. The man, formally dressed and middle-aged, sauntered for the eyes of the public to see. Compared to the crowd, the man appeared to be richer and more powerful while the crowd seemed more rural and just able to make their ends meet. The noisy crowd quickly silenced itself as the man, Ceuks, began to open his mouth.

"Well people of Pavonistade, we know all too well that the Indefinite is bombarding our country with abhorrent poverty, unemployment, debt, poor living standards... I refuse to let the generations of today and tomorrow suffer under these great continuous burdens. Even though we are known for our individualist ideals, we cannot be forced to completely fend for ourselves, like the Pavonistadian indigenous who, driven by malnourishment, had to fight each other for millennia. I shall ask all of Pavonistadians for this: is this what present and future people want? Is this what we will leave for those who have yet to come!? No! We shall not allow the Indefinite to stain our young country for decades, centuries, or even until the end!"

The crowd, always growing larger by the minute, exploded into massive applause and roaring for Ceuks. He maintained his stern and grim face as he nodded along, but he noticed that there were portions of the crowd who disagreed and were booing and criticizing (the sounds were partially muffled by the Integrationists); it didn't take long for the President to tell that portion consisted of the Isolationists. Meanwhile, the day was steadily getting hotter.

"The reforms that started ten years ago were found to be little to no use in combating this dire situation. Our standards are improving - our crops and fish are starting to feed people and create surpluses, our homes are being heated by more fuel every year, our money is gradually eliminating our debts, there is overall less poverty. It is unfortunate that such advancements are not enough - in fact, barely enough, as I am not afraid to be bold - to allow Pavonistade to make one large step forward. This is why an advancement or amendment to the reforms shall be produced. I and my adviser Fitzengrat had been drafting an amendment for the decade reforms for several days and we had come to a conclusion.

"Both of us had decided for Pavonistade to move forward by creating more ties with other flourishing countries and empires that lie beyond our borders. We shall make effort to the greatest extent to conduct diplomacy and trade, such that Pavonistade would be able to become involved in international affairs, break off the isolating barriers that are holding us back, and benefit from the relations we had made with people from all over the region. We shall export some of our surpluses to other places that need them and we shall befriend favorable countries from all corners of the region. This amendment becomes effective as of today, but to most of you, I shall be correct in the need for such changes. May all be safe and may Pavonistade stand."

The Integrationists showed a sea of support for Ceuks, while the Isolationists chanted loudly, "Pavonistade independent!" The immense crowd, once completely Integrationist, was now noticeably divided between those who were fond of Ceuks and those who were not. There does not seem to be violence of any sorts, but the situation and quarreling among the two halves were escalating. Ceuks went back into the Parliament where the sounds of the crowd was echoed and where he met Fitzengrat, waiting inside.

"Perhaps I had overestimated the issues of the Indefinite," Ceuks told his adviser, "I have to admit, Pavonistade was not in such a deep famine because there were surpluses in crops and water and trees and others, but there is still the debt to repay and the lack of underground resources to compensate for."

"The Pavonistadians should have to take another step forward with the referendum," Fitzengrat suggested. "We will have to install and support a mercantile system, encourage foreign businesses to take root in our country, colonize elsewhere-"

"Colonization seems favorable and promising. It could lead us to new lands and plentiful resources, and that could allow us to expand and spread our influence while combating the Indefinite. What can you say about this?"

"The costs, Mister Ceuks, are a major concern. There is also a lack of ships for venturing elsewhere beyond our country. We also need to find which places to colonize as well; not all places contain irrigable land, rich nutrients, or bonanzas of resources. I want to turn my attention elsewhere, though. Now that the advancement or amendment is in place a few minutes ago, it is time that we send out a message for officials from elsewhere to be informed of our intent."

"I myself will construct the messages. The messages, while containing the same contents and will be redundant, will be sent individually; the Rhodeves will receive one, for example."

"Very well then. I wish you luck."

To: Various (one message per country/empire/etc.)
From: Walter Ceuks, President of Pavonistade
Message:
To introduce myself, I am Walter Ceuks, the President of Pavonistade. I have sent this message to ask for any interests in conducting diplomacy and trade with Pavonistade. Currently the country has a surplus in crops, water, timber, animals, and some other agricultural products. Those who are interested in accessing the products of Pavonistade and/or sending over ambassadors are free to do so. The Pavonistadians would be able to welcome you in a mostly warm manner.

However, I must warn you of the Isolationists, those who refuse to allow Pavonistade to become a "puppet" of foreign powers. They would prefer staying isolated and self-dependent, but I and others had understood that their opinions would only drive our country away from the riches of the world.

If there are any interest and/or questions, please do not hesitate to respond.

[b]Érd Town Hall-Erd Városháza

In the small town of Érd King Andrew II and his best commanders are talking for an invasion in Wallachia to spread Catholicism and the Hungarian language in Eastern Europe. Andrew Stands in the centre and says "We must invade Wallachia and spread the Hungarian language and the Catholicism to the Eastern Europe and advance to the mountainous areas that give us better chances to defend if attacked." The commanders agree and one of them says "If we attack Wallachia we will be bigger and stronger and we'll have more soldiers becuase we will have Wallachians to our military." Andrew II says "This words will be a truth someday and it's going to be in some weeks from now, I DECLARE WAR TO WALLACHIA!" and the commanders shout "YES!".

Recruiting Office in Budapest-Toborzó iroda Budapesten

Andrew II sees the recruiter, recruiting soldiers for the war and after taking 20.000 soldiers ready to fight, he says "Recruiter your doing an excellent work out here, we will need the soldiers to invade Wallachia if you don't mind?" the recruiter says "No problem you majesty and I will fight by your side in every fight and war." Andrew II watching him as a braveperson which he was he says "You will no more be just a recruiter you'll be the Marshall of Szeged and you'll have around 10.000 soldiers to control there." the recruiter says "It's a big honour you majesty" Andrew II says "Just tell me King Andrew the second.'' They give their hands and go to the borders together with 20.000 men.


Hungarian Borders with Wallachia-Magyar Határok Havasalföld

King Andrew II, the new Marshall and 20.000 soldiers are invading Wallachia to take the glory they deserve. They suddenly see some villages in the start and the villages have too few people and soldiers, so they start invading in 5 groups of 5.000 men to invade 5 villages that are close to each other. After a long journey of 2 hours they finally arrive in the villages. In the 1st group the King says "CHARGE AND TAKE SOME GLORY!" , in the second the Marshall says "ATTACK FOR GLORY! and in the other groups the commanders say "CHARGE AND ATTACK AND TAKE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE!". After taking the villages thaey connect with roads and a main road that leads to Pitești a big city in the east side of the Hungarian country. Then they take the capital of the province as united but before doing that, they had to attack it. They start a journey of eight hours and they slept outside the capital of the province. The next day they start the attack and King Andrew shouts to the soldiers "ATTACK AND TAKE THIS CAPITAL TO EXPAND." they attack the capital and have a big battle with 5.000 soldiers and the canons with the musketry sound everywhere in the city and outside it finally after a battle of 2 days they take the city and the remaining 1.500 soldiers to their side the city name was Brașov. The near castles where taken by Hungarians, the most important of them being Bran Castle being in a great position for defence.

Split Port-Split kikötője

200 boats are leaving Hungary and go to the Meditteranean Sea with the leader being the Ruler of Csongrád County having a massive experience to the seas and diplomacy and they are in their way to Constantinople to talk with the Latin empire for their relationships as of course we have left 80 ships of 200 men each with complete army of 16.000 men in the port of Patras so if relationships fall down they can attack.

Although I find your fashion of writing rather vague, I accept this so long as you're OK with many Namorese not familiar with your character.

Yay, looks like there's more than 5 characters now! IC thread to come!

I hope I'm not being dumb and I just missed something, but where exactly is the capital district in Namo?

Namo is part of Namo, Capital District, like Washington D.C.

If you're asking where is Namo, it's in southern Namor.

Oh I see, thanks.

[Tuthina]

Name: Motoki, Rin
Age (18-100): 20
Family: None in Namor
Gender: Female
Appearance (description of how [s]he looks like or picture): Her appearance resembles someone with mixed ancestry from various sources, chiefly Mongoloid and Caucasoid. With a height slightly above average, she has a relatively curvy and refined body maintained by regular exercise and (generally) moderated eating, as well as a tanned skin tone. She has a waist-long black hair, which is often tied into a simple, single ponytail for easier maintenance. Her closet consists chiefly of traditional clothes of both cultures, as well as some modern ones that draw characteristics from the former.
Personality: Cheerful, outgoing, occasionally overly passionate, inquisitive, proactive, playful, tolerant, somewhat stubborn, sometimes like to adorn herself
Occupation: University student
Description of life: Rin hails from the Motoki family, a merchant family with minor noble status in the Tuthinan empire. Despite the vast geographic and political distance, as well as the uncomfortably close cultural distance between the two countries, Rin grew interest in Namor in general and Namorese culture in particular. With work and the resource of her family, she received higher education focusing more on similar cultures around the world, before enrolling in a University in Namo for further study. She chooses to live along native Namorese during her stay as well, as it gives her further exposure to local, "non-textbook" culture of this country, as well as a chance for interaction between said local culture and her own.
Nationality: Tuthina
RP sample (quote): Some of mymorenotable ones.

Also it would be better if you can provide a Tziroma/Tzishin transliteration of her Kanji/Tzihan/Chinese character name, 端木. Rin can be written and transcribed from either 凜, 鈴 or 琳. I think they are pronounced the same anyway.

Accepted.

"端木" will most likely be "Рему (Remu)."

The bright morning sunlight shone into Farid's room waking him. He buried his face in the pillow to try and keep the light out of his eyes. He was exhausted having spent the last 24 hours awake. His journey began the morning before when he left his house in Tripoli. He had felt strange knowing that he probably wouldn't be seeing that house for quite a while, however that thought soon disappeared and excitement started to kick in. His flight arrived in Serretes in the night, so while heading to his new house he didn't see much as he had been struggling to keep his eyes open. Now Farid was here, for the first time in a country he knew little about and he was eager to see it.

Opening the curtains fully he looked around at his surroundings, the street he now lived on consisted of similarly styled houses. "Not bad, seems pretty good actually", Farid said silently to himself. Quietly he walked downstairs to the bathroom not wanting to wake his family as he presumed that they were very tired also. He walked into the bathroom with the intention to shower, this was one of Farid's every day priorities in KwaDai, it would be no different here. KwaDaians were known for their cleanliness. Everything in Tripoli was spotless from the motorways to the skyscrapers. Farid hoped it would be similar here in Serretes. He didn't allow himself to get too hopeful just in case it wasn't. Farid stepped into the relaxing shower thinking about the day ahead.
