I CALL THE PINK!

[brainiac3397]

Just give me a simple desc of what sort of house you'll be, and preferred flag colors, and I'll whip something up.

Like House name, Patriarch(leader of the family/House), what the house is known for, and House traits. You can suggest nicknames, or I can suggest them, it's up to you.

Basically just follow the example above(sans flag)

[craxyguy562]

flag: full moon with dark purple/blue background
house: gargoyles
leader: Rigma
last name: Guatnymm
inhabitants: humans and super natural creatures.
The clan lets non-family members have the unused land.
The clan is "evil" and eventually conquered by a certain human, but for now it's run by the gargoyle family.
basically that supernatural nation I talked about before but smaller and less powerful.

Well the House name is supposed to be the last name of the family. So technically it'd be House Guatnymm.

There will be some discrimination against your House though. Thanks to Orkania, the Orks, and the entire demonic invasion issue(most of the people of Demosia were human slaves). Especially by House Arota. You'll also have fewer seats in the Reichstag(basically the council of Houses)

[Ky]

I know I'm already a major player, but I currently don't own any real nations.

I call the red spot. I shall name it, House Redoran. (I'm not original.)

[craxyguy562]

Becuase of all the wars many people lost there land and hope. Then The House of Guatnymm stared giving out free unused land. Due to type of people who would "travel miles to get free land" living there. The House of Guatnymm has not started industrialization yet and are stuck in midevil times.

[brainiac3397]

DoA:So your patriarch will have the last name of Redoran.

Crazyguy:Remember that you are still a vassal. The Royal House, as liege, taxes all the other Houses as well as retains a percentage of any business enterprise or industry. The King also raises his army by a levy on the Houses.

Remember that Demiosa is Feudal in nature, so the idea is to get cozy with the Royal Family to get more benefits. Those on the fringe will not benefit, especially since your titles can be stripped and your House exiled if things get too tense(There are many noble families available to be promoted to a Great House)

There will be a council but I still have to decide on numbers. Probably 10 per House, but this can change depending on preference of the Royal House(especially since there will be 40 seats in reserve, unoccupied). The council will never be able to do what the King refuses, but they're main purpose is to provide balance among the Houses and resolve disputes without resorting to internal conflict. Of course there is an allowance of using spies and assassins(with a treaty that outlines what actions can and can't be done)

[Ky]

That's right.

Behold, House Redoran:



Leader: Syllex "Six" A. Redoran
Steward: Harold Provol (fun fact: he used to be Emperor Fawsum's steward, as evidenced by one League of Nations meeting)
Last names: Various, actually - the most influential being the Redoran bloodline
Inhabitants: Former supporters of the Fawsum regime (hey, they had to go somewhere!), though most won't say so outright
The clan practices fascosociocommunocapitalismiconservalibtasticeraltarianism, an outdated form of feudalism that promotes a strict authoritarian hierarchical structure and basically screws over anyone who isn't in an influential family.
Note that they aren't outright evil; they're just doing what they do best because they can't do anything else, while the rest of the world has moved on.

[brainiac3397]

The two vassals will not really start off on good terms with the current royal family. House Arota will also really despise both of you...really really really despise. House Deimos will be somewhat indifferent, though also somewhat look down on your houses. House Kahrn will consider you inferior(but they generally consider everyone inferior). House Julian will be most likely be neutral but not necessarily supportive.

Basically both of you will have to really earn your rights. You had enough reputation to be given the honor of being chosen as a Great House, but being the new guys puts you at a slight disadvantage. But remember, the moee you support, the more you gain!

[brainiac3397]

DoA, Im thinking nicknaming your House as "House of Strangers" while Crazyguy gets nicknamed "House of Stone"(for the gargoyles). Mainly because nicknames shouldnt be so direct

[Ky]

Wouldn't they all be strangers, considering each of them would resettle the land at the same time shortly after the war?

I think Redoran would be "House of Corruption" or "House of Discipline", or something like that.

[brainiac3397]

Not really. The 4 current houses were once slaves of Orkania. The Arota is oldest because they had formed as a group during Orkania's demonic period. The Kahrn were slaves of the Industrial sector, where the Julian banded together from the most religious of slaves. The Deimos were slaves who worked in higher positions(but no special treatment for them by the Orks. There was even greater threat of death and torture for them).

So technically the other 2 houses(the character owned ones, which is you and crazyguy) are strangers to the land.

Well, those are too direct. We want something that represents those traits without actually referring to them.

Hey brainiac, are you going to update?

[brainiac3397]

Do not reply to this random quote.

[craxyguy562]

Are the representatives going to have a meeting where the two new houses introduce themselves?

[brainiac3397]

Yeah. The meeting will be at the Reichstag(both the name of a building and name for council of the Houses). Unfortunately, you won't be very happily acknowledged though not be expected. But the laws of the land still stand strong and nobody will be allowed to attempt an aggressive act within the Reichstag nor anywhere within it's territory.

It probably won't be till Sunday for me though, work takes up most of my day.

[Chanku]

OOC: Brainiac can you please move forward?

[brainiac3397]

Bah give me a...decade or something.

Ill see about it tomorrow. Im off work due to license test and some other stuff. Ill have some time to spare then.

[craxyguy562]

*In The House of Stone/during the Erabu Festival*
Speaker: Who wants to represent "The House of Stones" at Reichstag?
audience:...(OOC: due to tension between humans and supernaturals being a representative is considered suicide or worse)
Speaker(panicking): *whispering*What do we do?
Education Director: *whispering back*I could force a F- do it.
Speaker: *whispering back*No way, there must be a limit to how bad our representative is.
The ED argued with the Speaker for a while trying to find a way to get a representative.
Maris: I'll do it!
audience: What?!?!
Speaker: We've got our representative!
Maris: Maris
Speaker: MARIN! Come on up Marin!
Maris: *under breath* It's Maris
Some who are in costume run around throwing confetti and singing praise for Maris
Speaker: *gives Maris fruit punch* So what grade are you in? If your in any.
Maris: *badass face* Pre-school.
Speaker: Impressive...What are your grades like?
Maris: *smirks* Straight A's
Speaker: That's amazing! Everyone give a round of applause for Marin!
audience: *gives weak applause for Maris*
Maris: Thank-you! Thank-you! *grins*
Maris is carried to the capital by the ones in costume. The adults are pissed.
adults: What!?!? You letting a 4-year-old have power?!?! His mind isn't fully developed! He'll ruin our house!!!!
ED: Relax, the 4-year-old is probably going to be killed at the meeting.
adults: *sigh*

[Ky]

Syllex Redoran waits quietly for the Reichstag meeting to start. He has observed the appointment of a preschooler to the head of the House of Stone, and noted the political tensions in the other houses, and gravely turns the information he has acquired over in his head. He was the first house leader to arrive - he even beat most of the Deimosite workers to the Reichstag - eager to begin his leadership in earnest. His brother, Gielo Redoran, silently sits next to him.

Syllex: *in a low, hushed voice* Did you send the bribes?
Gielo: *equally quiet and gravelly* I did. The political institutions, influential companies, and black markets of each House have received an...introduction to the virtue of aligning themselves to our interests.
Syllex: *emotionless, unexpressive* Good. If even half of them think well of our gift, the money we gave them will have been well spent.
Gielo: You say that as though our reputation is weak.
Syllex: It is weak. They threaten to call us the House of Strangers, not the House of Duty, or House of Gravity, or even House of Discipline as I requested. We must use whatever means we can to improve our status.
Gielo: A fair point, Six. It doesn't help that the other families in our House are not even related to Demiosan natives. Only the Redoran bloodline is pure.
Syllex: It matters not; what we lack in positive public preconceptions, we shall make up for in our first impression. Discipline is the order of the day; through professionalism and maturity will we impress the other Houses. Now, return to Blacklight (OOC: the northwesternmost city in Demiosa) and ensure my steward gets here on time.
Gielo: Provol will be here, brother.

Gielo Redoran crosses his arms over his chest, then returns them to his sides. Syllex performs the same gesture in turn as Gielo turns away and exits the building. (OOC: What a strange way to say goodbye. Maybe it means something?)

[craxyguy562]

Maris:*In head* What do those signals mean? And when is this meeting going to start?

[Ky]

For a brief second, an actual emotion can be seen on "Six" A. Redoran's face. Syllex notices the young boy in the House of Stone seat a few yards to his right, and feels pity, knowing there is likely a long line of people plotting the child's death.

Redoran: *turning to the child* You must be the head of House Guatnymm. I'm Syllex Redoran, but you can call me Six. The meeting won't start for another two hours, so most people haven't arrived yet, if that's what you're wondering about.

[craxyguy562]

(OOC: Don't worry Maris has plenty of support )

[craxyguy562]

Maris: (bored) Before the actual meeting starts, as new houses let's get to know each other. By each other I mean our houses. What is the main language spoken at your house?

[Ky]

Redoran: The other House leaders aren't likely to show up anytime soon. As for House Redoran, we speak Basic (OOC: English, mothablanka, do you speak it?), same as the rest of the world, of course, and we don't have any secondary languages. Yours?
