This thread is to be used for public OOC between members of The Free City for both idle chat and RP-related planning. Since there's an almost limitless amount of content and ideas we can come up with to flesh out this government and all of its aspects, I thought it would be useful if we all shared ideas. Additionally, I want to actually delegate creative licence to people involved other than myself so we create this city state together, rather than just following what I come up with. I was hoping to do this by giving the players holding IC ranks the ability to customize and detail their own little parts of the state. For instance, the Arch-Mage can decide what magic state magicians specialize in, or the generals of legions can customize the legions they lead.
Anyway! Feel free to discuss!

I was wondering if I could get a bit more information about my position as Head Warden.  So far, I've been making sure the border is "secure", and right now I'm trying to manage the migrants a bit, but some help on what my specific duties are would be great. Also, what sort of forces do I have? I've been writing with the assumption I have pretty minimal support. Just wondering. (And glad to be a part of this!) |

Actually Dracoavis, you have freedom in how you want to approach the position. I was hoping that rather than me just deciding everything, you take the lead in how you want to do things and I work in a supportive role to help you accomplish those things. For instance, if you feel you need more men, you could approach Ildesias about it and he'd try to sort something about. Or we could just do it OOCly, I don't mind. That's generally the gist of what I'm trying to get at, though. There are a couple of questions for you, though: would the wardens work directly as part of the military, or as a separate but affiliated organization more akin to state intelligence? If not part of the military, you're pretty much given free reign to organize the wardens how you want - so you could recruit men for the service and send them out on missions, customize their equipment and so on, like Leliana in Dragon Age Inquisition. So basically, do what you think is best. It would be cool if you created a post describing and outlining the wardens, though! Perhaps in the military thread (even though they're probably not officially part of it)? As for narcotics and hallucinogens, there's no Justice Secretary yet to kind of outlaw these things or work on the laws of the realm, so I say go ahead as long as they're not dangerous and it's done in a smoke room. Don't want everyone breathing it in. XD |

Cool! Thanks, I wasn't sure how long my leash was with this. XD I'm probably going to organize the wardens into a group outside of the military, and have them more focused on intelligence gathering and scouting rather than brute force protection. I just had them as normal guards for now because (IC) there hasn't been time to organize them or gather skilled recruits. Dracoavis is probably going to give some instructions to the city guard on how to properly watch the border, then begin building up the Wardens. Thanks for the clarification! |

Andraste Ruana
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 244
Age: 25
Physical Description: =====================================
Although she is quite young, Andraste's very being resonates with magical power. She has long, dark red hair that falls down around her face, framing her soft, kindly features nicely. She has soft, unnaturally coloured orange eyes, striking against her pale skin. Andraste's hands speak to a lowborn life of peasant work, rough and callused. However, her skin is fair and her figure elegant, her musculature long and lean, lending itself to swiftness rather than powerful. Heat emanates from her body, able to be felt from almost a foot away.
====================================
Clothes and Equipment: Since her adoption into a magic collegium, Andraste has taken to wearing ornate crimson great robes, flowing about her figure, complete with gold filigree and a roomy hood that shadows her face when worn, although she tends to keep it down outside of whatever court she happens to be serving. Her only offensive equipment is a dirk imbued with a haste enchantment, allowing for almost unnaturally quick strikes. However, she tends to favour her magic-imbued twisted oak staff which enhances her casting ability, the large black onyx stone at the tip of the staff holding a particular affinity to her favoured school of magic: Pyromancy. She also holds a book of various incantations in her other hand when in battle, reading them off with extreme speed and accuracy. She possesses a natural resistance to heat, but is much less resistant to cold.

I'm planning on having my Black Sun goblins attack some folks at some point, but I want to make sure it's the opportune moment. Therefore, I must ask when you guys think that would be. I don't want to just show up out of nowhere like a dick XP

Roleplay posts: 380
Age: 1023 Years
Physical Description: Size (At standing pose): Height: 39 feet at the shoulder, Length: 104 feet
Eye color: Yellowish-White
Scale color: Light Blue, reflects a dull White in direct light
Dragon Species: European Dragon
Dragon Type: Chromatic

http://i.imgur.com/Ba7kzgX.jpg
As a storm dragon, his hide and flesh can generate an electric charge passively when threatened, much like an eel, and can naturally and instantly release it upon being touched by a foreign organism or object.
As a human he takes the appearance of a man in the age range of forties to fifties, averagely built besides being a few inches taller than the average Joe and dressed in clean leather armor and worn blue cloths.
Clothes and Equipment: Two small leather pouches tucked under wings
He owns his father's ancestral unique magical scale mail. It is enchanted to break on impact and the shards return his body and reform into a different piece of armor until it is struck, then it repeats the steps.
A set of personal shoulder pads forged by Brock the forge master. It focuses the passive electricity in his hide into a beam of magic energy which blasts away targets.
Weaponry: Claws, Breath Attack (Lightning), and Bite
Treasure Hoarding: Minimal, mainly gems sometimes gold.
While as a human, he wields a magical long-sword, not much is known about his weapon, as he rarely uses it.
Allegiances: Isra (Loosely)

I have an idea for a quest. On my way back from a diplomatic visit to Ivelius the caravan I'm travelling with gets raided by bandits and I'm captured.

Hey,
I'm part of a group in the Phoenix State that plan to clear some roads between our two nations. Could relevant individuals send me some details so that we can plan what role (if any) members of the Free State will have in this. Just some bandit and dangerous animal cleaning, to see how people interact and what not.
I plan to start on our side of the road soon.

I'll try and sort something out tomorrow. I have a half-shift tomorrow and then two days off, so luckily I'll have plenty of time to get things done. I've got some plans brewing myself! Also Tyrus, did you get my PM?

Everyone with a character who is a minister of The Free City should have them go to The Assembly in The Citadel. An IC meeting will be taking place as soon as people are there.  |
