I've been roughly active on this server for four years! I've played commoners, nobles and even for a short time a nation leader. Lived in Haense, Sedan, Aaun, Balian and Petra. Saw Javert make his post and I thought "What the hell, i might as well." Ask me anything

Hmm hard to say. Probably Franziska or Elsie. Franziska would have these moments where she would get angry with her husband's family with how they would treat her kids. So she def best 2 or 3 of them and was epic the whole time.

 

The event that comes to my mind about badass is Elsie kicking the skull of Paul Valfeur after he had a hand in the death of his own daughter, who was her best friend. She didn't help take him down but she felt the fury and had so much h anger.

I started my journey in Haense as Franziska Bishop! Franny was def in my top, many would think maybe my favorite was Cosima Monika but eh. Perhaps all the meta i delt with while playing her ruined that for me. I guess if I would have to choose a favorite it would be Camilla or Elsie. That may just because I'm thoroughly enjoying them at the moment.

Probably Elsie or Camilla! Elsie is a generally kind soul, a little weird but very inquisitive. Values her family in such high regard. She is such an enlightening character for me to play compared to the stress that some of my other characters have faced. 

Camilla has always been highly favorited due to her circumstances, went from being first in line for her dynastic title but was pushed far back with Friedrich and his siblings being born. She went through this incredible journey dealing with her negative experiences and trying to find enjoyment in her children while being generally stressed and depressed, but now she's at a state of old age where she is finding the good things in life.

Largest common issue I have run into is the ooc complications. So many times have I witnessed ooc bleed into roleplay, or discord being used to metagame. I think discord is insanely useful on when to coordinate rp, when are we logging on to roleplay or when is the event. Instead it gets used often on this server as a "Well we are the nobles of this country but we are bored but do not want to give power away. So lets just not log on and coordinate roleplay." 

To give a few varied examples. I once was conversing with a character irp, but she had another character whose family had hostility with my personas birth family. While the interaction was between my character and one who had no ties to the animosity of her other persona, she still felt the need to talk trash on the maiden family as if they had personally slighted that character. Another time I was meeting with another user and their character who had to that point been only friendly in roleplay. We were dealing with an issue between two noble families and my character went to be diplomatic and fix things. Instead the other user began to berate mine, and sure there could have been roleplay I did not know of that made it make sense. Yet as my character was berated, all of this persons clique friends began to show up had access to their gates and sat and watched my character get disrespected like they were all chuckling in a hidden discord somewhere. To look at a more large scale political level of the issue, its using the difference between roleplay and ooc as an advantage. I was recently a part of a nation project where we put extreme significance on only running a government through roleplay means. That being no decisions were being made unless a council would meet and then decide on the topic. I received a discord dm early in the morning my time that I received a letter. Saw the message later in the day logged on as soon as I could, within an hour of that the other entity was saying we had not responded in a timely manner and declared war. Extremely weird to me to give a nation an irl day(not even) to come to a political decision. We are all busy with our irl lives, and that gets exploited by the discord roleplayers.

Sorry for a the long response, but yes that is the issue with lotc. The server in its entirety is so heavily intertwined with discord, but there must be a way where we keep the out of character, out of character.

She was the main child who inherited her fathers Azor looks, besides for James who was a good mix! Wish I would have gotten to rp with her more
