Character Focus and Status

When creating a character, you must select two foci and a status for your character. You may optionally choose to take a third focus, at the expense of decreasing any attributes you did not take a focus in.

Focus:

Pick two of the following:

Martial — Grants increased martial.

Diplomacy — Grants increased diplomacy.

Stewardship — Grants increased stewardship

Intrigue — Grants increased intrigue.

Combat — Grants increased combat stats.

Status:

Landed — Your character starts the game in control of a demesne.

Unlanded — Your character starts the game not in control of a demesne.

Focus: Intrigue (2)

Home Region: Solland

Status: Unlanded

Personality/Background: Lord Castern's second child and eldest daughter. Although Ynes is no heiress, she conducts herself properly as befitting a member of House Castern!

[Funny Valentine [Silentgod]]

Status: Landed

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

Name: Dorado Duvau
Focus: Diplomacy, Stewardship, Intrigue
Region: Lussland
Status: Landed
Personality/Backstory: Dorado, heir to a lesser house in Lussland versed in medicine and called upon to serve upon ships as doctors. Having the misfortune of being caught up in a scheme unrelated to him left him on one such ship that was assailed by unknown enemies. Scars and burns from the battle miraculously survived ache unendingly and gave birth to paranoia. Now returned to head up his family's minor holdings, he splits his time between his personal craft in pursuit of ever stronger painkillers to ease his pains and ingratiating his role in the nobility, so that most find the doctor's skills and safety an asset to protect.

[Hans]

Name: Peter "Allibis" Cornelius
Focus: 2x Intrigue, 1x Stewardship
Region: Solland
Status: Landed
Backstory: How tragic! The lord and lady of the Cornelius family, one of noble and true blood, although a minor house with associations to the Castern family, has passed away in a horrific freak carriage accident! They left no living heir, with their sons having passed away from prior unforseeable hunting incidents. A young man, never seen before, has emerged claiming to be a child of the former lord born out of wedlock, and comes bearing proof of his inheritance.

Peter Cornelius never actually existed, of course. It took a lot of work for Allibis to set up a reliable carriage accident certain to kill all passengers, far less to forge a document. Originally a nameless servant of House Castern, he hungered far above his station and knew it all had to be his. All of it. Now in charge of an estate, he must continue to grow his wealth and restrain his little fingers lest the Imperials chop them off. But... they won't miss what they don't know, right?

[Chatt]

Name: Reinhard Bruchs
Focus: Martial, Combat, Intrigue
Region: Stalland
Status: Landed

That is until his untimely demise at the hands of the dark elves. Ever since her father's death. Victorique would come to despise the dark elves with burning passion and vowed that she would become a great privateer like her father and uphold his legacy while also creating her own legacy.

Personality/Background: A crazy old man who is something of a hero among the peasantry. He's renowned for his apparent ability to perform miracles; summoning rain in times of drought, or curing illnesses the local doctors cannot even identify. Tales of his exploits, slightly exaggerated every time they jump to another branch of the grapevine, have even reached the nobility; and though the majority of them merely roll their eyes at the peasants' stories, it's been said that some truly desperate nobles swallowed their pride and asked this travelling weirdo for help.
