Sorry I completely missed the OOC linked smh. OK so I imagine that astrian Tutan or Dargin aren't that common if they are a tad discriminated ? Or the monster attack are real bad ? Where are astrian common in the world then? I was thinking of mixing the survivor route with the slave one. Like my OC came from a place were astrian were common then ended up wash up on a coast to the North and made a slave. She later gained her freedom and roamed the North as a sort of mercenary until joining Sigrid for she wanted something else + make money.

Do astrian can have animalistic trait that can serve in combat ? Like claws or enhanced senses ? Agility, strength or swiftness depending on the animal ect

(Btw I love Hakan and feel strong "must protect vibe" for him, so if ya wanna I be super happy to add him in my backstory or something else if you want shadowz1995 shadowz1995 )
Hey, I'm fully willing to work something out. He's something of a hero to his people in the northwest and he definitely needs protection during raids lmao.

Hmmm okay so if he has roamed the North enough to end up in Jarl Sten territory then they could have met. Maybe Hakan was kind to my OC while she had a hard time adjusting/people were being discriminatory toward her because she is astrian. And so my OC feel grateful to him and want to protect him ?

Well, he has certainly been all over the north but his voyages were actually in the south where we are headed in the IC. These lands that we are headed to, Hakan knows quite well.

That being said, it's certainly not out of the ball park that he helped her out whenever he was back home. Could have healed her up the first time they met and maybe offered sagely advice or assistance in their subsequent encounters?

Edit: It should also be noted that Hakan has seen more than his fair share of different races in his travels. Not that he had prejudices before but that helps with any potential ignorances someone may have about her race or others.

CS Due date this weekend.
IC will start then.
Actual date undecided, so just assume Sunday.

I will have an official reminder with tags up later tonight. At work rn.
 
I COME BEARING INQUIRIES. PREPARE YOURSELVES.

INQUIRY 1- HOW MOLDABLE IS THE LORE? IS EVERYTHING SET IN STONE OR MAY WE DABBLE IN OUR OWN BITS OF POTENTIAL LORE TO DEVELOP THE WORLD. FOR EXAMPLE, IT IS MENTIONED THAT THERE ARE THREE GODS THAT ARE KNOWN WHICH ELUDES TO POTENTIAL UNKNOWN GODS. WOULDBWE BE ABLE TO CREATE GODS? (On the GMs discretion of course)

Depends on what you write on your CS. I will consider the canonization of certain ideas if it does not conflict with later installments in the Groznyverse. The lore is bound to be updated, as you travel to new locations and get exposed to different cultures in Grozny, which may or may not affect how you perceive the concept of faith or certain interpretation of things. You may have certain liberty with your backstory, so long as I deem it fitting. Otherwise, there's no point for us to write if I cover every single entry on the lore page.

There are many gods, with different names in different cultures, scattered across the history of Grozny. I only have three main deities down to give y'all some room to make up your own deity to worship in IC (if you choose to). So yes, you may do so. Just hit me up when you do!

I WILL INDEED HIT YOU. UP.

THAT IS ALL FOR NOW. I COME NEXT WITH A HEAD FULL OF IDEAS.

Yeah that sound good to me. Like at the beginning when she had trouble adjusting and had a rough day Hakan helped her and gave her a bit of advice ?

Also my CS is almost done. Only background and personality + extras (if I ain't too lazy) to go

I got a bit caught up in a small but potentially story enriching detail. I imagine that my OC only remaining possession of her familly is a ring with their clan/familly motto/something they wanted her to remember. So far I have tons of ideas made by a generator or found on the net. But I'm not sure, here the list. What do you all think ?

- Endure and overcome.
(Fit her struggles)

- Born in freedom, live in freedom, die in freedom.
(Kinda ironic when she was enslaved, powerful now that she is free)

- Conquered by none.
(Set the tone of the familly)

- Wealth of the sea.
(Could link them to it, like they have always worked near/with the sea)

- Following in the footsteps of our ancestors.
(Could refer to their astrian heritage)

- From the waves we rose.
(Could refer to the sea or the meaning of their familly name, which mean wave)

- In Aerilia's hand, in Aerilia's grace.
(Could make them new followers of her and create intersting development for my OC faith)

- Acta deos numquam mortalia fallunt
Mortal actions never deceive the gods.
(Same as above but if they are pagan and dislike the new religion)

- Optimum est pati quod emendare non possis.
It is best to endure what you cannot change.
- Seneca
(Advice from her parent that they often told her)

- Faber est suae quisque fortunae.
Every man is the artisan of his own fortune.
(Words of encouragement from her parent)

- "insert sentimental message"
(must make more research but so far I have made some
- To our dearest daughter
- Never forget, our love is everlasting
- For our most precious jewel
- May you be as beloved by Aerilia/the Gods as you are by us )

I really like that one for some reason!

>"In Aerilia's hand, in Aerilia's grace."
>Every Ancient worshippers in the vicinity: (inhales) Girl. ✋

"Endure and overcome." is prolly my pick. Has the same vibe as "Rise and rise until lambs become lions."

Haha that's exactly why I thought of that. Imagine the potential for drama.

That's also one of my favorite. It give off strong stoic vibe.

I'm almost tempted to make one the familly motto and the other what is written on the ring tbh
