The Rules of Character Engagement

[WizO_Pounamu]

550. many nobles haven't the communication or social skills to ask for something nicely but can telepathically call in underlings from a mile or so away to try and force their wishes.

[Gene_Kynes]

don't watch this

551. All nobility must either be sickened with court life, or has the entire court wrapped around his/her finger.

552. Eventually, there will be a Dune-ish ripoff of House Atreides/House Harkonnen conflict.*

*Explaination: 'omg my enemy is so corrupt and dark and evil and uses poison and brutalizes females and has gladitorial battles 4 serius d00d ~~~~~~~~'

552.(i) There is no such thing as two 'virtuous' houses conflicting underhandedly. The non-PC side's average alignment goes beyond Good and Evil. The opposing house must be Antichrist in average NPC alignment.

"Sneaky Git's Rule of Thumb"

I thought Sneaky Gits were goblins....

what a minute, are you implying that all nobles are goblins? Does that mean I can slaughter the whole court without going evil?

 

[Bhryn Astairre]

:: just sighs and pulls Ceres to the side, holding his ear firmly in one hand ::

...come along, time for your medicine...

 

[CeresUrsidae]

But...but Auntie Bhryn! It tastes nasty! Can I just go back to the padded room?

 

[Bhryn Astairre]

:: mutters ::

Alright, but only if you can find a good rule for relatives, like:

553: Everyone is related in some strange and unusual fashion upon all worlds travelled. Don't ask how or why, they simply are, through marriage or actual genetic bonds. It's kind of like one big Walton shaped family tree...

 

[CeresUrsidae]

554. If you are not related to someone on every plane of existence, then you are the last living member of your family.

 

[Bhryn Astairre]

:: giggles and bundles Ceres off to his pretty padded room, with chocolate pudding ::

 

[Ladyshade]

::Steals chocolate pudding.::

555. When being from said noble families you can't possibly run out of money. Period. Even if said family has been cast down, they must have had stashes somewhere. Besides, noble families always take into consideration children's possible expensive hobbies like magical spoon collections, evil 'secret labs' and all it's supplies, pet dragons, and those drinks with the little umbrellas on them. Therefore they make funds vast and easily reached.

 

[CeresUrsidae]

::replaces chocolate pudding with lemon pudding, returns to padded room with said chocolate pudding.::

556. No matter how cast or easily reached previously mentioned funds are, only you, or those close to you, are able to either a) find them, or b) access them.
