Yes, that is what I meant, and for your information, I am fully supported by a small plot of saffron flowers, fully staffed with semi serf peasants engaged in a hereditary senigeiral (I think that that is how you spell it) agreement with my family.
As to the length of my post, I always hate that intro thing they do in books, so i just started with the story, it was short because I had to figure out were they were going. by the by, wombat, what is going to happen with an apprenticeship with the society?

Patience. I'm working on it. Ended up taking a nap.

Exalaber - working on some details from that. Seems you have a plan in place with anti?

A sketchy one, my uncle pushes me into a guild apprenticeship, then I spend my time unobtrusively gathering information and greasing palms in high society, while in my free time tying knots and throwing wheat cakes into fountains trying to find out what the spirits want me to fix.

Out of all the characters mentioned in my IC post, only Adeak, Erinde and Eli existed more than two minutes ago. Personalities are yours to make up as you go WoD.

That is as much my purview as it is his. Trust me when I say there are plans for certain characters tied to the Society...

Sort of semi-random stuff that I figure helps to identify with one's character: does anyone have any awesome theme songs? Sort of what you feel embodies your character's essence, their raison d'etre.

Alright, so I still have crafty yet to do. Someone want to tag onto the druid barkeep with their character for an intro? That would be great for me.

@Deb - duelly noted. I might have to get to responding to yours tomorrow, however.

Wait are we talking about the same bar? I'm referring to the upscale place mentioned in the letter in my post, not the dwarf druid's place.

I have an idea, on our way back, the carriage almost crashes because the driver sees a giant tree were an empty lot used to be, and we send him to investigate.

"Atmosphere? ATMOSPHERE?!? Let me tell ye 'bout atmosphere ya li'l-" and Jägerstein promptly goes into a full-blown, likely alcohol induced explanation of how nature is the best atmosphere, and far superior to anything civilization can construct.

@Wombat: Is the hostage's name Almeran, Alderan, or Aldaran? So far, you have used all three names. If this is intentional, that's pretty awesome (sort of like Denna from Kingkiller Chronicle, another great series I recommend). If not, well then .

Good eye. Yes, it's intentional. However, he always pronounces it "Al (as in short for allen) Dair/Mair (rhymes with stair) Wren (like the bird)."

Added a district map in the Locations section for Aldhaven, since I only had previously provided a city wide one. This should help people understand the makeup of the city districts more.

Meh, its more of the one line thing. That I'm more concerned about. I don't want to have someone having to respond to a single line of text.

Hmmm. I would have to go with either Bad Ritual or the L Theme, somewhere in between the two. Either way, there must be some epic piano for Reynald.

Theme songs? Music? You've got my attention

I'm a bit of a composer (by hobby, not occupation), so if you want me to compose a song for your character, I can give it a go.

(Warning: I haven't learnt how to use Reaver, so this is the kind of quality I have to work with at the moment. I can do solo piano too, but I need to find someone to borrow recording equipment. Again.)


Anyway, really, where is Zane?
