Ashes Scatter (RWBY/CKII, After the End)

OK, architecture it is then. I can see the point in that, build up a good economic base then use that to fund our further conquests.

Character Creation: Part 2
  • Threadmarks
    • Character Statistics Results​

    Education (Stewardship): 1

    Indulgent Wastrel: Despite the best efforts of the late Queen Mother, you were not an especially easy child to teach, preferring instead to meditate or play than practice your numbers. Still, at least you can be said to have learned something. (-1 Diplomacy, +1 Stewardship)

    Attributes (d10):
    Diplomacy: 7
    Martial: 4
    Stewardship: 9
    Intrigue: 8
    Learning: 9

    Traits:

    Bastard: Through indiscretion of your parent, you were brought into the world out of proper wedlock. In your particular case, you do not even know the identity of your father. (-3 Diplomacy, -1 Trait Opinion)
    Architect: You managed to take at least the art of construction and design from your mother's teachings, and have developed something of a love for construction. (+3 Stewardship, reduces building costs by 5%)
    Calm: You have never been one prone to outbursts of sudden emotion, instead preferring patience, deliberateness, and a level head. (+1 All Attributes)
    Wellspring Soul: Your soul is overflowing with excess energy, and the natural unlocking of your aura came to be no surprise to the people around you. (+1 Martial, 0.50 Health, +2.00 Aura)

    Final Attributes:
    Diplomacy - 4
    Martial - 6
    Stewardship - 14
    Intrigue - 9
    Learning - 10

    Diplomacy - Your bastard lineage infuriates your half-siblings, and despite your efforts to the contrary, you have a tendency to tie your tongue and say the wrong things to people you interact with.

    Martial - You are no master tactician or fighter, but you can generally perform adequately when you need to.

    Stewardship - Your laziness in learning was not due to inability, rather your already impressive natural talent for numbers and business. You are a talented administrator and know the laws of your land better than most would expect.

    Intrigue - You are capable of keeping silent and planning clandestine schemes, but are not truly motivated to do so, lacking the envy, greed, and vengeful nature that make true spymasters push themselves to shine.

    Learning - You have a strong working knowledge of the Progenitors and their individual tenets, being indistinguishable from any proper devout who attends regular service.

    ---------

    You are a mere twenty years of age, your mother, the queen, dying while bearing her latest in an impressive line of children, the former prince consort consolidating his lineage against the threat you've presented. Now you must choose your appearance and the heraldry of your very own bastard dynasty, though, with such a young dynasty, it is no surprise that the ancestral weapon of your mother's line hasn't passed to you...

    [] Name: Write in a given name and a dynasty name. Names present in the current RWBY canon are not allowed.*
    [] Gender: Are you male or female?
    -[] Male
    -[] Female
    [] Species: Decide between a human or faunus character.
    -[] Human
    -[] Faunus (Specify what kind. Mostly cosmetic, so don't expect to finagle a few extra stat points here)
    [] Appearance: Describe a character or submit an image to serve as the player character's avatar.*
    -[] Write/Draw-In
    [] Heraldry: Design or submit the dynasty's heraldry.
    -[] Write/Draw-In
    [] Ancestral Weapon: Most noble houses have a master-crafted folding weapon that passes along with their primary title. Write-in what this weapon is, and name it*. Keep it within RWBY's version of 'reasonable'. (Nothing OP)
    -[] Write/Draw-In
    HA HA HA, no.

    *No flat expies. Be at least a little creative, mm? There is also a ban on completely unoriginal names and lazy derivatives of canon names.

    Keep in mind that you can also write in something of personality or background, but that while I may take some inspiration from it, it will likely not be true to form as I've already rolled for most of your starting conditions and filled in your character's past, as well as your traits directing your personality more than a handful of pretty words.

    [X] Plan Contrasting Characteristics
    -[X] Name: Megara Kiriakidis
    -[X] Gender: Female
    -[X] Species: Fox Faunus
    -[X] Appearance: Long blonde hair almost always kept wrapped up in a bun, angular looking glasses over green eyes, overall presents a very calm, serious, studious persona (a little librarian-esque)...that is sometimes given away by the movements of her bushy fox tail behind her.
    -[X] Heraldry: A domino mask imposed over a classical castle keep. The mask is blue, while the keep is lined in green.

    Now, I'm not outright saying the reason she's a bastard/she exists is because of an appealing Fox Faunus, but...

    That's quite good starting stats, even if Martial is only passable and our Diplo sucks.

    Also, Powerofmind, did you add the boons to +Stewardship and +Learning from me and Raiu?

    I'm not married to my heraldry at all. If you like my character and hate the heraldry, give me something better and I will swap.

    edit:
    Also, I realize after the fact that my submission could be viewed as a little Glynda-esque...wasn't really the intention. I started from fox Faunus and then thought "well, how do I make this funny and introduce a dichotomy".

    Now if only we could get the Scions as our religion.

    If it helps anyone decide, consider this: right now, the Age of Grimm quests are total taco-fests. Gerhard is literally the only male PC!

    How many exactly are there? Only ones I follow are this and yours, and I know Raiu has one.

    I don't hate it, I just like Redrum's a lot more.


    Hmm, I need to think my decision more.

    Technically true, but there wasn't enough staying power for AFSO to really get a feel for the male lead. In contrast, ABA has an impressive combined word-count and lasted over 10 turns, giving people time to let Lyra worm her way into peoples' idea of the setting. The current other lives, Gerhard and Skye, end it with peoples' immediate thoughts when considering setting characters to "Gerhard, Skye, and Lyra", two girls and a guy.

    Ah, I misremembered. Thought the PC there was female.

    Only further evidences my point~

    Oh yeah, plus Sable is a much larger character than the female characters' hubbies. The personalities we associate with the setting are mostly female.
