Casamir

*Sir Casamir Stands in the main chamber of the Nornheim Town hall and addresses his fellow Knights and order members. He looks upon them all with the faint trace of sadness in his eyes, he clears his throat and says*

"My fellows, and brethren of the Knights of the North, Military and civilian. A hard day is upon you, and an even harder day upon me, I won't dance around on this so I'll cut to the chase. I am hereby retiring from our order, and standing down as it's Grand master."

*Sir Casamir Takes a moment to let his friends take in the news, and gauges their reactions, he then continues.*

"I pray the order does not die with me, I offer up the title of Grand Master to anyone who thinks themselves worthy, as well as the town of Nornheim if they wish it, though A tax would have to be paid on it (Two IRL weeks to pay the plot fee due to my lack of VIP status on the plot)

My reasons for leaving are varied, but mostly I feel I have done all I can. The undead won in aegis, and try as I might I am not much of a politician, I feel i can no longer lead you to greatness and as such I am taking on the live of a wandering traveler, I wish to explore Asulon as much as I can.

I intend to wander and gain knowledge and wisdom. Know my friends that you will always be close to my heart and that I will always remember you, and your friendship. One last thing, I ask that you take time to gather your things in Nornheim if no one is willing to take over the order, or atleast if no one is willing to take over Nornheim, the city shall return to Asulon over time if no one wants it, and I wouldn't want your items to be lost."

*Casamir takes a heavy sigh, looks at his friends once again and quietly exits the hall, locking himself in his chambers*

(( I am rerolling my character, I feel I have done all i can with my character archetype of the "good knight" and I'm trying to give myself a more expanded open new character, as I said if anyone would like to take over the Knights as the leader just post here, I would have liked to do an RP event in game but many guys haven't been on for a bit. Anyone is welcome to take the Nornheim plot, but native said they would have two IRL weeks to pay for the plot cost, if no one takes it I am leveling most of the city and turning it into a manor / supply area for my new character. If you have locked chests please unlock them before leaving so I can remodel the town into my villa if no one takes it.))

I dunno like I said for 500 it would have to pack a nice punch (not saying I wouldn't donate for the sake of helping out the server but as we all know, not many people are willing to give away money, specially that much just for nothing) I'm okay with sparkles (maybe changeable colors if able? not sure) but if you raise the price of the other VIP ranks, atleast make small filler ranks (with a little bit of perks like lwc) so people can still donate small amounts and get a bit of a reward for helping out.

Edit: maybe a rank could be something like 100% free no charter no signatures, ask a gm to set it up town sized plot? (or city if you feel generous ) for people to set up say, a grand estate or manor or farm land that they can manage some where (not a major city of course)

Me too.

On topic: Woot woot new avatar

Offtopic: I enjoyed DoW2 but no where near as much as one, that being said though I'd rather play tabletop or DM a game of Deathwatch any day

Otherofftopicnote: Speaking of deathwatch and the 40k rp universe woot woot Black Crusade is soon :o

It's not stats but your character card. There is a difference.

Oh I misread that :o still neat though, maybe add a perk in which you can reset your skills (with a cooldown like a week or so? )

You had me at the perk to change stats at will (I was planning on doing the 20 for it anyways but another 300 why not?! )

But seriously I'd go to 500, would have to be some nice perks in it (not to sound like a ****, but it is a hefty fee) I for one am very interested in all this, I'd also like to see a few more (maybe minor) perks added to the list already. Keep us updated with news and I might be the first one to donate :D

(( sorry I haven't posted for a while, Guy at work got fired and I'm the only guy on my position for mornings, on a plus note I'm getting more hours and over time than anyone could ever want, I will be on here and then when I can doing small subtle things to the town ect, and viewing apps ))

This is an app for both the military and civilian parts

Short bio: As a boy I lived on a farm with my mother and father until I was about six or seven when my dad went to war... he never came back. After that war, once a week Bonks would come over to our home to visit with my mom and to make sure my mother and I were doing fine. My dad had met Bonks on one of his occasional adventures he would go on where he would go to the Dwarven kingdoms back before he died. He always left saying that he was going to buy tools there but a couple of years after he died I finally figured that wasn't the only reason, being a farmer isn't the most enjoyable job all the time. I continued to work on the farm until I was absolutely sure nothing would happen to my mom and finally I left to travel across the lands of Aegis. Now, here I am fully grown human adult, with pale skin, brown hair, at an average height of 5'11", and at the age of 43, and I still don't have a real purpose to my life. This is why I have come here, to join the Knights of the North and serve the people in the land of Asulon!

Skills/Professeion: I am level 30 in swordsmanship, 25 in farming, and 5 in mining. So my profession in the town will be farming.

Goals: My goals in the guild are to climb through the ranks and to protect any civilians traveling nearby our town area. My goals in the town are to become an even better farmer and to hand out fresh bread to the poor who need it to survive, to make a living off of it, and to supply the guild with food for new recruits and any member who is a part of the Knights of the North. The main reason I want to live in the town is because I want a home near our castle so I can buy a nice home.

Time Zone: OOC: I live in British Colombia, so my time zone is PST (Pacific Standard Time)

Rp style: OOC: when I am RPing I tend to be very cautious with my actions, and I will never do anything without thinking about it.

Other notes: this is for both applications (by the way, I am Bonks' Real life brother)

APPROVED!

TOWN CHARTER

MC Name: DBHAShadow

RP Name: Sir Casamir Lirian

Town Name: Nornheim

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

Having first lost their home in the Northern lands of Aegis to the undead, and then all of Aegis, Sir Casamir led his Knights in search of a new home in which they could establish themselves. Traveling to Salvus, they purchased a small home, They struggled to live off the land and keep up with the taxes of the town while they awaited their plea for land to be heard. The Sovereignty Was deaf to their pleas, and established laws that prevented more than two of the Knights to live in the house.

Not willing to abandon his men, Casamir traveled to the Cloud temple to pray for the salvation of his order. Whilst there he noticed the monks tending to the wounded with wondrous healing magic, they aided the people he thought to himself, maybe they will understand our plight! Casamir sat and drew up plans to appeal to the monks with, a charter for a small village in the North-Eastern part of their land, where his Knights could live with the monks and establish a training ground, trading post, and shelter.

Once the charter was drawn up he added a few extra propositions, his knights and himself would server to aid the monks as peace keepers of the land, remaining neutral and taking up arms with only those that they saw as just in their actions. His men would become protectors, Defenders and healers, he petitioned the monks to teach himself and a few of his men the power to heal, that they might better serve the lands of Asulon!

However With the growth of his village, he has been forced to seek larger and clearer lands for his village to become a town, still holding their support for the monks and their way of life they lay claim to a patch of contested territory outside of the monks boundaries, securing growth for themselves and hopefully the monk order.

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

Nornheim would follow a top down chain of command, the top being the grand master of the order Casamir himself, followed closely by his lieutenants who would form his council, vetoing any orders they don't approve of and keeping him in check. From there it flows straight down with a few branches off for different ranks within the order.

They are a non warring peaceful sect of Knights sworn only to protect and serve, they strive to eliminate all injustice, and will depose corrupt kings if they must, With the threat of the undead gone the only enemies are the enemies that politics of the nations deem. With racial tension already thick, and some nations preparing for war against another, the knights intend to shelter the weak and stand up for those who are wronged.

They have no nation governing over them, though they hold allegiance to the peaceful ways of the monks.

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

Disciplined, and militaristic (just not war mongering) They seek to break any corruption within themselves through strict training and meditation. The Knights welcome any and all races into their midst, and consider all nations (unless proven otherwise) to be allies.

The residence will consist of two types, Military and Civilian, at first most of the village will be knights until they raise the funds to focus on their training and hire on civilians. Once the village grows and civilians join in the order to aid in laboring, the village will consist of both. The civilians are expected to be as committed to justice and disciplined as the Knights.

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

http://imgur.com/9TcC0 (( x marks the spot ))

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

Their structures will be made of wood and stone, sturdy yet simple, when room permits the order's keep will be mostly stone and stone brick with wood trimming. As previously stated all races are welcome, the knights respect the culture of other races but the vast majority of the council as well as Casamir himself are Staunch Northmen.

Players who have agreed to sign this charter (15 name minimum):

1: Thurgo Stoutshield ( Fingerwiggle )

2: Khnum ( Khnum22 )

3: Tom_Bromley {UltimateOptics)

4: Sir Augor Sadreas ( augor1 )

5: Lord John (SirPwnzalot700)

6: Bonks (bonkeywonkey)

7: Animeius (Bigdogsebo)

9: Aeven Jonathon Velorum

10: Puc

12: Benah

I enjoy the travel time, it makes things feel realistic and makes traveling feel more like a quest (who knows what you'll run into, what battles you may have!)

The hunger thing, realistic, harsh on the poor and those without food buuuuut, like I said it adds realism, and a need for food (making the food market a bit more... needed?)

Soulstone I wish was a bit shorter of a cooldown after dieing (but could easily be abused to return to points of war like in your home nation (for us donators atleast) )) but that could easily be remedied by people learning to screenshot returns like that

Honestly I think the world could be bigger, (it really would allow a chance for more nations to appear, as well as more "Wilds" for people to travel through. One of the main downsides to increasing the size of the world is, unless you remove the massive oceans (I found em massive anyways) it'd be like a 4 day boat ride to a suitable area for a new nation

The village has enough signatures to become a town, Moving to a town means the following

1: More above ground facilities, less underground ones.

2: The hedge wall will become a stone wall

3: There will be a section of land dedicated to housing for civilian members

4: possible above ground barracks for Military members

(( More to come once We see how the land growth effects us ))

Relation to the family: Mah brother died for a long time ago. I trid to save him but the undeds knocked me down to the floor. When I wake up he where laying at the floor begging for someone to kill him. He were suffering. It were a hurrible pain to see my own brother suffering of the pain and begging to die, he were all I had left. I took my brothers head and puched it to my chest so he could feel calm. But my try to save my brother failed. He died in my arms while I'm were crying and screaming for someone to help. After that day I have never been the same person. Everyday I'm thinking on him- It's hard to live without a person that meant the world to you, I promise you... One thing my brother were keep saying the days before his horrible death were that someday you will live without me, and when that day happens please take care of you and find help in a group. Now after years of loneliness I'm trying to do as my brother told me, find a new home and live with them as they were my real family. I really hope this guild of lovely people can help me come back to the world. Without a family I can't survive..

Under consideration, yer app could use a bit of refining, try and post a tidied up app and I'll see what I can do for ya friend!

A bit about You:

I am Human, a Northerner to be precise. I am in training to be a Field Cook and hunter. I may be 33, but I like to tihnk I am quite spry for my age and can still handle myself well.

Your skills:

I am level 40 Cooking and level 13 Swords. I am also working on archery

Goals:

To gain respect among my peers, become a great cook, and hunt the beasts of this land.

What do you bring?:

I am hoping to help supply the guild with food, and although I do need much training I think I can help the guild.

Also Approved ( have met and delt with in game )

Name:

N'guemo Akotto

MC name:

Wodehouse

A bit about You:

I hail from the land of Nooremac, bordering Asulon. Back home I was a sellsword, offering mercenary work for coin. Unfortunately I had to flee for reasons I will not go into, and I now find myself in a strange land, and have happened upon your current village in which I see great potential, and would like to be a part of it.

Your skills:

I am an experienced fighter, having battled many a bandit, and I am also an accomplished miner, working the shafts back in my home town. I will defend my fellow brothers in arms to the death, and so I feel I would be a useful addition to an order of knights such as yourselves.

Goals:

To satisfy a decent quota in mining and so help bring considerable income into the town, whilst also being able to assist in any matters of battle.

What do you bring?: I feel as though I could bring great wealth to the town through my mining and with a bit of hunting on the side to bring in food in these harsh times. I am also reliable, so don't hesitate to ask me to run some errands, as I would be more than happy to help.

Approved

Here's another not-so-hypothetical question:

Should players be able to attack other players with Minecraft mechanics at all?

Obviously we need click-uber-fast for killing mobs, but we could probably turn it off for players.

Back in Aegis I'd say that those mechanics sucked full out (( A diamond sword was pretty much GG for who ever had it, and would tear through you in 4-5 clicks at MOST )) Not sure with the new armor (I find armor really does help alot better these days and such (but then again I haven't been diamond sword spammed yet so I don't know)

IMO I wish we used mods that added more Armor and weapon Tiers, For an RP game having pretty much Iron or Diamond and as the Norm whilst being max / second best tier Seems a bit sad, ( specially with how hard leather seems to be to get ) it's either Iron or no armor, making fights a bit one sided, Maybe if we had addons that could add ores and items (Though I know that is more of a client thing sadly) I think it would improve things alot, especially combat and pvp.
