Vandals with Class discussion

Alright, so how do you think Miriam should suggest a mercenary contract to protect Natasha. Because people don't just go up to people and ask if they can protect them. I like the idea, but I just need to know exactly how it works.

I just thought it might be suspicious to be carrying around a dragon. Considering that they are pretty rare.

Well first and foremost how a mercenary works is that they write a contract saying this is what duties you will do and this is what you will get in return. Both parties will have to sign it.

The problem is, Natasha wouldn't sign it. She is strong enough on her own, and doesn't want to entangle others in her plight both for selfish and selfless reasons.

The best way to approach her is just overhear her asking about the stuff in Altamire and just go up to her and be like "hey, I'm heading the same way. Mind if we travel together?" Or something along those lines.

In addition, I was thinking about after a misunderstanding, Pyre is kind of posing to be an act to help get money for them to eat. <.< Like he snorted some fire in a argument with Natasha, and people thought they were performing so they started putting money on the ground. Natasha was kind of upset by this, but Pyre was like "take the money" and managed to convince her it was better then stealing and there was no way they could get the money to feed both of them (baby dragons eat a ♥♥♥♥ ton) any other way.

Plus, he enjoys the attention. <.<

Sounds like a plan. When do you plan on starting the roleplay? I would assume after finishing hatchling.

Pretty much. And Hatchling is pretty much done-the egg has been tossed in the fire, so its just Pyre hatches and then Pyre gives Rak something and then they do their good byes and then we will start this one.

Alright, I'm ready to go. I won't be available after 3 PM ET tomorrow through 5 PM ET on saturday, so I don't know when a good time to start would be. I guess when you are ready you can make the thread and just wait for me to make my post late on saturday. I hope this doesn't mess up your RP plans too much.

Well, I'm going to the beach tomorrow after work, and I have work all day Saturday, so probably late night Saturday.

That sounds good, I guess it works for both of us. How about The Black Knight?

Yeah I'm fine with that, as long as Hatchling gets done first, 'cause you know, continuity.

When do you think Hatchling will be finished by. I have been following it and it seems as if it is pretty close to completion. When do you prospect this next roleplay to start?

Well, Black Knight is making the last post and I am currently writing up the NPC form for Pyre and writing what Elmir and Altamire look like and shizz, and once that is all taken care of, we will be start.

Sounds good, where are you writing what Elmir and Altamire look like, is that in some sort of characters and resources thread?

Basically in the characters and resources thread which is where that stuff is supposed to go.

Pyre

Other two are on their way.

OK; never mind on the countries because the template for that is confusing and I haven't thought that far ahead.

But Altamire is kind of like medieval Europe (particularly England) in terms of description of how it looks (vast rolling hills, small towns with farmers working the lands, castles, etc.) Their main selling point (besides the political culture described in Natasha's history) is their mages (ironically enough). Their mages come in the four "elements" (fire, earth, air, water) and are pretty powerful considering they can control their magic. (However, sheer power, like Natasha, can beat them out.)

Each town must have a church, which is where a master mage from each element resides and other mages go to learn the art. They typically live in these churches and it is their job to help guide the people since they are born with "perfect balance."

Their army are foot soldiers and knights (higher levels of command.) When it is desperate, the mages are called into the fight. However, this isn't happening at the moment because no mage will fight for something which is "unbalanced."

Elmir is its neighbor to the East. It is more like French medieval Europe. While it has lots of natural resources, it doesn't have enough of a labor source and less then 1 percent of the population can do magic. They aren't very powerful mages either; untrained Altarmarian mages can beat them up no problem.

So, it has a "friendly" relationship with Altamire who provides them the things they lack, mostly via the slave trade. Altamarian twins are common sold as slaves, and they are the ones mostly doing to manual labor such as working in the fields and doing all the crap jobs. It is a sign of wealth if you own an Altamarian mage.

Any questions feel free to ask.

BOOM!

Westerly first things first. We are starting two months journey away from Elmir. Second off, Elmir is a country, not a city.

If you remember, Miriam was to meet Natasha in the bar where is now (a small remote village) and see a boy who needed protecting and when he she learns he is from the area, suggests to travel together.

Alright, ill edit the post, and work that one out.

Ok, thank you. Just let us know (via discussion or VM) when you are done.

I just fixed it, I hope that works for you. I made the "city" of Elmir a town that was not spoken of in any relative closeness to Elmir. In my next post I plan to enter the town and the bar and find Natasha.

Sorry about all of that, please pardon my newbiness.

Hey, its no problem. If you make mistakes, we'll just correct you. (Also, I'm extremely blunt about it, so don't think I'm trying to be malicious about it or anything.)
