*~*~The Town Of Blackthorne~*~*

[jtringl 35]

MC Name: jtringl

RP Name: Justin_Longfellow

Town Name: BlackThorne

Why are you/your character starting this town? What role will it play?

While walking through New Oasis, the Verge, you overhear a mans exciting proposal:

Throdo, my cousin, it is not safe to be here any more. Not even in the verge. All of Aegis has gone to hell. I propose we get out. On my travels, I have come across a whole new land. We should hire a captain and a ship and set sail. Together, we can colonize the new lands. I already have plans for a city, which will be named Blackthorne. With sturdy gates and high walls, we will not only be the most secure civilization in existence, but we will also be the smartest and most intelligent, if we bring along the people of New Oasis. We cannot leave them here, we must protect our citizens. There is a new hope out there for the people of New Oasis, and we must reach for it. Not only must we help the people of New Oasis, but all of Aegis needs help. BlackThorne will provide just that. In the new world, we will provide food, shelter, and protection to all those in need. The city will be the community center of the new world, ready to help all that follow us there.

What type of political system is enforced in this town? Is this town under the reign of any other nation at this time?

You hear the voice of Baron Justin Longfellow, as he sets the ground rules for BlackThorne:

Men, women, and children alike. Before we set out to the new world, there must be ground rules in place. If not, our own greed will overthrow us. I believe in power to the people, but also the need for a strong leader. That is why we will have a Baron, to lead us through the rough times , and help us through the struggles. In order to keep myself from getting corrupt, we shall implement a democratic council system, made up of seven councilmen and councilwomen. These individuals will assist in any major decision making involving the town. If myself, the Baron, goes corrupt, they may vote me away, and pick a new Baron out of the seven. We will have an election for people to gain a council seat. The people of BlackThorne will vote, and a fair vote it will be. Also helping the Baron will be Advisors, Aides, Diplomats and Knights. These are all hand picked by the Baron, but hold no power, just respect from the people. Although we respect each nation individually, none of them rule over us. One day, perhaps, BlackThorne will become the capital of its own nation. Also to help manage the town, we will be divided into seven different districts. These will be the Castle, the Golden District, where the high officials will live. Following that is Maywind District, which serves as the market. The two housing districts will be GrayBeard and NightingHall Districts. Bordering all the others on the outside of the walls will be the farmlands, serving as its own district, and then the great forest.

Note: Im trying to veer away from the word Baron as leader, so any suggestions are appreciated =D

What sort of behavior will residents exhibit? (Race relations, nation relations, etc.)

Although we are peaceful toward everyone, and accept all races into our town, we do not have any tolerance whatsoever for villains or undead. If seen in our town, villains will be arrested and put in jail for 3 IC days, or executed on the spot. Undead will be killed on sight. Any Orcs are welcome to join the town, but must be at their best. Because of a bad history with a group of Orcs, Justin Longfellow is not very friendly toward them, and will not hesitate to throw them out. Regarding nations, we will give honor and respect to any high official of a nation that enters our town, but they must realize that they do not rule over us, and respect that. Anyone official from another nation that disrespects the Baron, an official, or the town itself, will politely be asked to leave.

Where would you prefer the town’s region be, and how large? Including a screenshot of the land would be nice (of game or map).

Since I do not have access to the new map, I would just like to get an idea of the location I am looking to place BlackThorne in. My preferred setting would be a large valley surrounded by mountains, with a river or two running through it. Snow or not, that is my only real requirement for the location.

Any other details (architecture, races, culture, etc):

The architecture for BlackThorne will be very similar to that of New Oasis, the Verge. Houses made out of normal logs, planks, and cobblestone. Although based off the buildings of New Oasis, I plan to add a bit of difference to BlackThornes structures.

We accept all races into BlackThorne, and hope that all will come. Just the Baron has a personal distaste of Orcs, so they should be sure not to cross him.

For the culture, I want the town to be like nothing you have ever seen on LOTC before. I expect the town to be 100% self sufficient. This means it will sustain its own economy, and not have to rely on any nation for support of any kind. I want a tight-knit community, where everyone knows each other. It would be nice to have families in town, not just individuals. Although we welcome everyone to town, we expect all to pull their own and live mainly in BlackThorne. You will be welcomed, but not really accepted right away. You have to gain everyones trust first.

We also will hopefully have enough jobs for everyone in town, so everyone is earning a wage and helping to support the town.

I love the idea of this town and would be honoured to sign the charter and commit to moving there.

[Jpenguin 2]

I like this, I'll sign the charter. Some good ideas of a name of a leader could be 'Jarl', (Skyrim ftw :D) 'Lord', or 'Count'. Good luck with this! If I can muster up enough minas for a house, I'll move.

[jtringl 35]

Awesome guys, Thanks! JPenguin, when the town gets built, we will be offering free houses for a limited time.

[Lirinya 4036]

Can I request that I have a house in a tree =3

[jk, I quite like the houses in the New Oasis currently. They're cute]

[Jpenguin 2]

Oh, awesome! I shall move then. :D

[Felyndiira_Do'arn 6]

This looks like a nice little town for me to finally settle down in. I'll sign the charter, and I'll move in as soon as it's built (if that's ok).

EDIT: Also, I have two friends joining the server soon. I know we planned on living together anyway, so if two of us agree to be homosexual, we have a family :3 (or we could just be friends...)

[jtringl 35]

^ That made me lol

[Gwonam_Blaze 385]

Undead will be killed on sight.

Cool story bro ^^

I like the writting style but I do not see the uniqueness of BlackThorne. Something like religion, culture or unique architecture would be an excellent addition.

[ACanadianCraft (Nate) 682]

We need to discuss this Justin. I think the form of govenment needs a bit of tweaking. However, as one of the founders of New Oasis and was the residential architect, I would love to support Blackthorne aswell.

p.s. I think we should ignore villans and undead to some extent. I would add some "unique" rp to the town. Besides, some of my best friends are villans IC, and the town sounds pretty dark to me anyways.
