Scraped from here.
This is an empire quest. You are all the councilors for The King of Endroads. The rules are as follows.
You currently have 2 Kingdom actions. These are actions that effect the entire kingdom. Anyone can vote on them per turn, and I will take the greatest vote.
Everyone can also make a 'councilor'. These councilors can have a personal action. Feel free to RP them if you wish, but do so in BOLD so people can tell whats in character and out of character. (If people have suggestions as to another way of doing this feel free to suggest) Also if you wish to make a councilor please feel free to PM me. Full up for now. Will notify when not.
Action successes will be determined by rolls by me. I will be rolling a 1d100 and adding or subtracting bonuses. That's if I feel it requires one.
[50 Failure
50-70 Minimally successful
70-100 Successful
100-120 Successful + Bonus
130+ Successful + Bonus + Bonus
*Note if it's your specialty, and you are using it in an action a 50+ on the dice grants an advance.
Understand that this is pretty freeform on my part so it's going to be a bit interesting. If people want to change something please let me know. This is supposed to be fun to read and fun to play.
Each Turn will be a 'block'. A season basically. Actions will take place over this time. If you want to do trivial actions (Such as buy an item for your guy) I won't require a action for it.
Players are responsible for their own character sheet. Don't make me have to correct them.

Your kingdom is called the Kingdom of Endroads. It's a mildly happy place.
To the east you have the Broken Shards. A massive tract of inhospitable and inhabitable area that's best described as foreboding. Animals frequently traverse this area, and living on the borders is an exercise in survival.
To the South you have the ends of the Golden Shores. While it's a major trading area, it's plauged by Pirates, and your smaller towns are occasionally raided by Orcan Pirates. On the coast you have your largest city, Alpha. It's a lovely place, and one of the two cities that give you actual income. It's here that a vast majority of the trade going to Hub starts. They are shipped here from a good portion of the world, and then go to Omega.
Omega is the second of your two important cities. It's the last way-point on the way to Hub before you get toe the Broken Shards. As such it's one of the better places to get supplies. It's a highly militant city, and is one of the few places that can repel attacks.
To the North is the Endless Plains. Here the Horse Lords dwell, and they make frequent sallies into your lands. Perversely, this feature has allowed your kingdom to keep it's independence since they raids are often too costly to repel for anyone.
To the North West is one Kingdom. An anemic Winged kingdom called Kasugai. It's a mountainous kingdom that is best characterized as so weak and poor that no one cares about it.
To the west you have a large swamp called the swamp of teeth filled with several very insular Orcan tribes. They don't go out much, but they are fiercely protective of their home.
It is in fact that renaming that has you all hired. Things need to shape up if you don't want to be ground under another's heel, and your King isn't to thrilled about the possibility.
Your kingdom has two advantages right now. It's a hilly place with a lot of shale to be sure, but it has plenty of places to grow things that aren't being exploited quite yet. It also has one of the major trade routes running through in in the cities of Alpha and Omega.
Aside from these two cities providing most of the manpower and resources, everything is pretty much non-existent. You get to build from the ground up.
Turn one starts on Year 153 of Steel. Spring.

So where is the template for Councillor?
You are one of many advisers to a king. (Your fellow spacebattlers are the other ones)
You have proficiency in one of the following (Magic {Discipline} / Diplomacy / War / Economics / Science)
You can have two bonuses of your choice. IE Important background, wealthy, military experience, magical item, something else.
You will have one disadvantage of your or my choice.
^ The above is it. I don't ask much.

Proficiency: Magic {Journeyman Druid, specialized in the concepts of Adapt and Devour}
Bonuses: Kindly Old Badass, "Daughter" Anna The Ursa Gigas. AKA Dire Bear
Disadvantages: Wanderlust
Current Personal Funds: 30,000

There's mine. Hopefully the fact I have two stigmas allows me a bit of leeway when it comes to the bonuses. As a heads up, I was tempted to call Unhinged Walking Diplomatic Incident instead. So, yeah. Keep me well away from any diplomacy.

More seriously- We've got three wizards, out of five players?
Shouldn't we get, like, at least one diplomat or something?
Seriously though a diplomat will come in grandly handy.
I can honestly say my character wont be extremely useful to start... but once i start going out on hunts and bringing back strange stuff... we might get a different picture. Till then we will need people who can hold the kingdom together.

"Boy, I am a fine diplomat! And if you try to science my Anna or me. I will turn into some beasty with a lot of teeth, lots of claws and you'll be a whole lot of dead, and in my belly. Mind you I don't really like the long pig, so lets stay friends. Not Lunch." *Grins widely before laughing* "Had you going there for a tick, didn't I? Sit sit!

Hm, Never a Master is fine. "Bah, don't need to be a Master anyway. Never needed it. Never will!"Lost Star said:
Would you like to know what Kindly Old Badass does, or my idea of it?
In his younger years Roth, after breaking off with The People of The Great Maw, was something of adventurer, he after his many years gained a reputation as Roth The Bear, Warrior, Mercenary, and a damned lucky fool. He's saved a few towns, fought a few battles, killed a lot of big scary things, the point is he knows people who owe him favors, old friends, and he has experience that comes with being a man that's been fighting most of his life. Of course, being who he is also means he has enemies.
And Lost Star, make of that what you will.
Anna The Dire Bear is kinda self explanatory, imagine a Grizzly Bear, but roughly two times as big, and smart as a Gorilla. Roth raised her practically from birth. Can be used in battle and as a form of transport. Dire Bears are exceptionally long lived for animals of there size, the longest living Dire Bear on record was 126 years, they do however, make up for this long life span for a long gestation time of a full 24 months. They also require a lot of food.
Anything else, GM?
