Message: <blockquote data-quote="kookalouris" data-source="post: 4527441" data-attributes="member: 23872">OK, let's get to actual character notes...Here is what I need from each of you.Current Name:Current Age (from 13-17):Current Family (you can simply make up a clan, if two or more players want to have their characters from the same family, let me know):Description:  This is up to you.  I don't want to stifle your creative instincts and if I need more info, I will ask.  The general rule is that the more you give me, the more I can use for you.  The character descriptions I have up to now are fine.Some things I can use for the description:Your apparent life up to now:Other characters in your life:  Feel free to make up some other family members, friends, enemies and acquaintances.  I will attempt to work them in.  If you have actually BOUGHT an ally, this is where you might describe them (if they are part of the exile).How you rate in terms or social standing and general ability to other peers:  This lets me know what you can do and hints at your attitude towards others.  As far as I concerned, you can be the best or luckiest that is humanly possible.Physical Description:  Beyond being a teenager, it is up to you.  (Hint:  Your face and form can have changed over the ages, not just counting your sudden 'youthing.').The rest is generally optional.Your character's true past, which you can reveal to the players, just to me (via a message), leave undetermined for now, or up to me to some degree.  You can be freely related to a Zelazny character if you wish.  Should you be a actual royal descendant, you may want to suggest your once and future personal symbol and trump.  You can bend continuity if there is no real objection.You may spend your beginning points if you wish.  If you have an idea of how much you want to spend, go ahead and spend to your max.  If you want to bid  competitively and reactively, let me suggest that you take it slow as we bid until no one bids anymore.  If you want to bid secretly, message or email me.For what it is worth, I don't see the first part of the game being a struggle BETWEEN player characters.  The later part of the game is up to you but I don't plan to particularly pit you against each other.  As both secret and competitive bidding will take a little more effort than simply bidding outright, I ask that you only use these methods if that is the method you wish to play.Next up, Llewella as an example...Copyright prevents me from posting Llewella's character stats from the book.  But this version of 'Lily' is inspired by them.Assuming the extra points from her trump and description gives 40 points, roughly 1/5 of the 200 point version.So,PSYCHE:    9STRENGTH:    7ENDURANCE:    3WARFARE    7Total:        26 pointsThe rest of Llewella's points are unspent because the only other things the 'official' 200 version of Llewella has is power words which she won't really start the game able to use (or even knows about).  But another player might add an ally or an item.Current Name:    Lily Ellen D'Amberville (the Aristocratic family, more on them later).Current Age:    17Current Family: The D'AmbervillesDescription:  Lily is one of the older children of the D'Ambervilles.  Quiet and seemingly aloof, the green-eyed girl spends most her time in solitary pursuits.  Her one passion is the ocean around her and she excels in swimming and all things nautical.Previous Life:  Llewella, Princess of Amber became part of the exiles and rebels after some as yet unrevealed conflict.  Whether she volunteered or had no better option is yet to be told...I will try and start the game on Sunday but the first week will be at a slow enough pace that others can take a week to join...</blockquote>
