It say that the House Lord/Lady could also be another class, so does that mean I could be the House Lady and a mage?

Vane, accepted.

Pun, post your damn thing.

NOM, the House Lady/Lord is a title really. They'd need another trade to supplement them, so you could be House Lady/Mage. So, yes, to put it shortly.

Any age really, it's dependent on you. They could have inherited it at a young age, or they could be old and haggard. It's your choice and bio. :P

I have a question about the aether, what form is it? Is it a solid, a liquid? (Probably not a gas)

Initially it's found in a solid form, mined from the earth. It can also be found in a liquid state, though that is rare and can be transmuted by proper mages. Air is even rarer and more difficult to identify. So primarily solid, but when used by mages to gain magical powers it's in liquid form.

Name: Belinda Lucando
Title: The House Lady
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Alignment: Solaris
Appearance: ~Bell~
Class: Mage
Nationality: Erdenis

Personality: Belinda is a bit socially awkward when it comes to non-political things. She grew up rather secluded, so she doesn’t know what to say in a 'normal' conversation.
But, when it comes down to it, she is very calm and collected. It is rather hard to get Bell (as some call her) upset. She hardly ever cries or gets angry, but when she does it is an emotional outburst. When she is mad she can not be stopped, and when she is sad she usually locks herself up somewhere and cries for hours. This is due to her not usually showing these emotions, so they bottle up inside. On the other hand, she freely shows when she is happy.

Bio: Belinda was the only child of the previous House Lord. Although he had wanted a son, he still loved Belinda very much. She was a rather spoiled child, and didn't go outside often. This mainly was due to the fact that she had a weak body. When Belinda was young, she was a rather sickly child. She almost never went outside, so she didn't have any real friends. While she was younger, she played with the servants for entertainment. When she was in her early teens, Belinda's father took her to his meeting that is where she learned most of her social skills.

When she was at the age of sixteen, her father fell ill. He soon died, and she took on the title of "House Lady". People would always be telling her how much she was like her father. That didn't please her. Belinds felt like she was living in her father's shadow, and it was slightly overwhelming for her. After two years she learned of the powers of aether. Belinda began to study the substance, and she learned how to use it to make 'magic'.

Likes: Belinda is greatly appreciating of the arts, especially acting and paintings. She loves going to plays and art exhibitions. Her favorite plays are romance, and comedy. The type of paintings she enjoys is mainly scenery. Especially as a child, she would love gazing at paintings since she could never go there. Bell also likes to read novels about far away places for the same reason.
Dislikes: Belinda isn't fond of furry animal, manly due to her childhood. When she was younger she was allergic, but now that she isn't, the only pet she ever had/has is a cat. Also, she hates being told that she is like her father. Other than those two things, she doesn't have many dislikes.
Other Info: The type of 'magic' Belinda mastered was a type of light magic. Belinda can create light; it can come in any different color. In addition to creating light, she can also bend light, to create an illusion to the eyes. She rarely uses this 'magic' though. Belinda also has a cat named Sophia. Sophia (or Sophie for short) is a short haired calico that is approximately a year old.

The following would also be my application for a character, if GM Juicesir accepts. I figure, if this is going to be a war, somebody's gotta fight it. Any feedback/suggestions would be well-recieved; I'm still an RPG novice.

Name: Marho Hostern
Title: The Smith turned Soldier
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight (open to character relationships, but it's unlikely/will take good plotting)
Allegiance: Solaris
Nationality:Hauch/Erendis
Appearance: Your archetypal smith: tall, strong, light brown skin, broad of shoulder, and plain of face, with his long hair generally tied or plaited back in keeping with his no-nonsense, dedicated approach to his work.

Personality/BIo: Marho, raised as a smith’s apprentice in Hauch, or close enough, was sent as a talented young journeyman, (distinguished for his ability to melt nail-sized pieces of metal in his palm, details @ bottom of post) to join a guild Erendis’s capital, to support his struggling, socially falling, upper-middle class family, of distant noble descent. At 18 he was sent a much younger, much prettier bride from a swiftly-rising lower-class family, an arranged marriage he accepted from obligation. However, despite their best efforts, young couple's marriage remained loveless. Though both were affectionate, they were emotional opposites: she an out-going, young socialite, he an introverted, practical working-man. But both pragmatists, they accepted the situation, becoming friends, sharing a house, funds, and two healthy, relatively happy boys, (seven years between them) but little more, and niether was ever truly happy to live in such compromise.

They spent their time apart. He worked for, and played with the local soldiers, sometimes even joining them for training, amongst whom he was popular as a smith and as a friend; she socialized in ever-higher circles, eventually winning the deep affection of a single merchant-nobleman, though she never digressed to infidelity.

This changed when the eastern borders came under fire from raiders, and Marho was offered work as a smith and soldier, for nearly thrice his normal pay. Despite this sufficient financial pressure for Marho, (strained to support his families at home and abroad) he would still have turned down the offer out of obligation to raise his children well, …if not for his soldier friend’s tipoff that middle and lower class men would be conscripted for half-pay anyway. With the opportunity to begin anew, the couple agreed on a convenient lie; that each had been directed to and married different people on their arrival in the foreign town, to people also also waiting on arranged marriages, and, on recently meeting each other for the first time, both had only just realized their mistake. Despite the lie’s transparency, both families accepted it happily; hers welcomed the social advance, his relishing the possibility of a second dowry.

Now, freshly returned from military service, Marho works as both smith, and a upper-middle rank guard of the city, in the service of the local Solaris nobility. His eldest son, Tarmur, has lived with him since his return, anxious to meet and know his father. Meanwhile, ironically, the younger, has virtually become the nobleman's son, displaying towards his father the same cordial though disinterested calm his father is famous for.

Personality: As above; pragmatic, a slow but clear and intelligent thinker, with an astute observations; just enough to enlighten his friends from the bar if they asked, and just enough to hold his own (just, sometimes being perceived as common) in conversations with his noble superiors. He diplomatically avoids politics where possible, and believes in talking problems over wherever possible, especially with women, though he may fight them out with men. He takes most pleasure in platonic socialisation: with his son, customers and other soldiers, and consequently not women, of which he had his fill while soldiering. He is also passionate about his work, making ornate weaponry and trinkets out of scrap as a hobby. Trivia: though generally an anti-religious person, scorning stellism, he keeps an iron pendant, set with a volcanic stone from his homeland, as his one vanity and sentimental keepsake.

Likes: As above; his work, and the company of his peers; surprisingly, he will forgo beer or pie with his soldier friends if he can have fresh, cold region fruit, when it comes around in late autumn - it's one of his other pet sentimentalities.
Dislikes: Politics and women; becoming attached to women; talking to women over the age of 18. He won't run away, or become tongue tied, he just won't like it.

Edit: A note about his magical ability: He doesn't know where it comes from, or how it works. He just knows that if he focuses on a small piece of metal (no bigger than a thimble) for long enough, or if he's uncommonly emotional, it will glow cherry red, and become malleable like clay in his hand, allowing him to shape it. But if he loses focus, he loses his protection and control of/from the metal and its heat. Thankfully, he first time when this happened, he dropped the bent, liquifying nail (that was offending his then masterpiece) in surprise, saving him from burning off his hands.

Mmkay, couple things. I'm kicking myself in the ass right now because I accidentally mixed up two names in the RP, but I guess it doesn't really matter anymore to anyone except me. Kudos to the person who can spot which two were accidentally switched.

I'm loving the amount of detail everyone is putting into their characters. They're complex, and I'm gonna work on integrating their histories into the campaign in a bit (once I get done with this blasted paper).

NOM, just fix up your spelling and you're good to go. Akaiyu, I think your character would be more suited for Solaris (even though he was awesomely underhanded with that whole switching marriages thing XD ) so just edit that in. Also, I'm fine with accepting the whole "melt nail-sized pieces of metal in his palm" thing, but I'm a little curious as to what that is. Is it a magical ability? Or does he crush them? If you could explain a bit, cus I'm interested.

Just those two things and you're good to go. Also, Vamp-gurl, you sure can be the other House Lady. It'd be interesting having two House Ladies as I always pictured a House Lord for Solaris, but I'm interested to see what you come up with.

Two more people would be nice, but if this is it I can NPC some characters other than Sergius (who will be up latter today).

We'll start the RP probably around Monday.

Shit, Dream, I'm totally sorry I didn't see your post. You're accepted.

Name: Ha'aheo

Title: Flying Knight

Age: 422

Gender: M

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Alignment: House Solaris

Appearance:
Spoiler: click to toggle


Class: Griffin

Nationality: Mountains

Personality: Ha'aheo is as proud as can be, and would only accept help if he were about to die. It's how Griffins are. Proud and stubborn till the very end. Being proud and stubborn didnt stop him from being kind and accepting though. He is magically bound to serve the Solaris house, and there are very few who he will allow to ride him. He prefers to do everything himself. He loves his strong wings and is flying around for fun WHENEVER he gets the time to.

Bio: He was born in a nest high in the mountains. His father was a fair, loyal and fierce leader and friend. One day a conscript from the House of Solaris came and asked for the Griffins support in a coming battle with Lunestes. His father Sent a small patrol with him for the battle. When not one griffin died, he was pleased. When the story of the battle was told over and over again he sent a messagner to the House of Solaris and And when a conscript arrived, he turned to He'aheo and told him, you are to go with him, learn from them. Fight alongside them. Do you understand son?

He was terrified, but he obeyed his father. He went and they gave him his own tower. Full of large trees, large rocks, and everything he would have found at home. He was allowed to go see his tribe every so often. The training was intense and brutal. But once he hit the puberty years of griffins (210-340) He had realized that his training had made him so much more strong and lithe it had made him. He Was strong, fast, lithe, flexible, agile and he was a much stronger and faster flyer than even his father, who was reaching his twilight years...


Likes:

Dislikes:
Rain
Venison

Having to fly above the clouds
The Lunestes
People who think its ok to ride him
People who think he's a dumb animal
Having people do things for him
Being reffered to as a "Pet" (Calling him such will probably get you bitten)

Other Info: Having been with humans for so long, he is one of the few of his species who can speak both Griffic and Common. [/spoiler]

No worries. The griffin is more of an... associate than a PC. And besides, I've already factored in the balancing issue and given Lunestes a surprise.

It's in the name.

`Solaris` comes from the Latin meaning `of the sun`
