Bouncy cactus will join us mid quest, so he's somewhere else on the island
Audriana, Kaede, Gawrgaru, Anya, Ames, Eoch, Ume, Dew, and some guards/knights are all together at the airship meant to transport the scouts to the target location.

Bouncy's character is with another on the same island but not with the group.

I think...

Don't know about the others.

Aye!

I am thinking that Sven and Gawr will have a chill, friendly relation. No idea who is controlling Gawr though.

@Bochi

Might want to update the list regarding the named characters present, as well as their nominal owners xD

That aside, you people with noble/important characters still want to mingle, or shall I call over them over to plan the raid?

@fyrre @ohko @Reborn_Cat @Ddraig
Whatever you all want! o7
Hm I guess that works too? I was thinking of the knights being more along the lines of Royal Corps / Elite Soldiers and she is supposed to be a new knight right out of academy or something. I may or may not have been looking at Reinhard when making her backstory

Now I guess she needs to prove herself by taking on quests so she can get herself recruited into a decent noble house? That does of course raise why there aint direct placements from the academy but >.>

I am going to need a bit of clarification on how are we making the noble structure before we decide which way we should do this,
  • Do Nobles have personal armies or just personal guards? <-- If no personal army, is it just a standing Royal army?
  • I saw @fyrre mention something about a knight academy for his knight guard. I think we should coordinate on making it a proper place.
  • Is knight/dame considered a noble position? I personally think of it as sort of the middle awkward place where you are not nobility but are sort of above the commonfolk
  • If it is a noble position, that implies it is possible to become pseudo-noble by getting into the academy. Are the established houses a-okay with this?
  • I remember that the islands were sort of following feudalism with all land belong to the queen which she lends out to dukes and so on. I dont see knights getting land tbh even if they were like honorary nobles - it is just a bunch of islands afterall, not exactly a continent with free land everywhere
For my headcanon, I definitely lean towards noble's with personal armies. Sky Archipelago is heavily decentralized and it's unclear if there's any (if at all) national structure / laws. Many of the islands can be effectively treated as city-states that are loosely associated with each other.

I'm also for knight/dame potentially meaning multiple different things! For some, it refers to a rank in nobility (or pseudo-nobility), and in other situations it might refer to a military role. It could also be a temporary title that children of nobility take when they're not the current duke/marquis/count/baron/etc or alternatively not the heir.

The houses/factions have wildly different opinions on various subjects. @fyrre's Astalart Faction is relatively traditional and somewhat exclusive/prejudiced (although apparently I misjudged how open they would be to adopted children XD), so they could be more opposed to commoners loosely/easily joining the nobility. My personal headcanon for the Warhawk faction is that they're quite meritocratic, and they're very open to anyone who is strong regardless of their bloodline or where they come from.
For this, didn't ohko mention Sir Gawrgaru also attending the knight academy?
Or did I misremember?

X
Raul, Gawrgaru, and a bunch of other characters attended a Royal Academy at Sky Harbor.
And an elven arts one in aerelieth
Whose story was this mentioned in? For some reason, I forgot it.
Hm I guess I will do that then ~ It cant be Shark house as I have not been travelling with Gawr or Gwen.

So we go back to the problem of not having enough notable npc in nobles which aint from the shark house
:blob_hide: Make more houses! Both @fyrre and @The_Everdistant_Utopia have made factions
Aye! what kind of rank would the lord of a city/island have? I am gonna introduce a liege for Roxia and I am thinking what would be a god rank for the liege's house.
Raul by @GodlyKamui is a count and his family rules over an island
Aye!

Oh yeah, @Way I wasn't really sure how to follow up with what you posted in the group rp.
Like, when the golden butterfly came out, did everyone else see those messages, or just Eoch?
How many golden butterflies were there?
Did he tell everyone to go to the militia headquarters, or was that just for him to go?

Ah, you might want to re-read. Only the nobility, who are nominally representing their noble houses by coming and thus have a say in the plan, were asked to come, for Eochaidh to share and finalise the strategic plan with them.

The briefing comes after that plan is finalised, since that's the order of things.

Ahhh.
So the planning is still being done, then?
So the non-noble factions can continue chatting away, then?

Luna is a part of nobility, viscount to be exact, while Yew is basically the leader of an entire island. will they join.

Ah yeah, they too. I forgot to mention that basically any figure with significant political power joins, since the Archipelago doesn't just have the classical noble power structure, similar to the HRE, but got caught up with the prevelance of nobility for a moment.

Honestly, rare to see an AG RP with so many nobles... @Gaap ,this land practically calls for you!
Ahhh.

Yeah, sure. Sorry about you folka having to chat for a bit more, but it also gives some time for those who aren't here yet, who happen to all be common folk ( Looking at you @The_Everdistant_Utopia )

:sweating_profusely:

It's not easy to handwave oneself to another island. Plus I don't like backtrack writing, so I am working a reason to go there.

Maybe he overhears some people speculating there being some precious treasure on the island, or something?

X
Ah, well, he has no interest in treasure in general~ I more or less do have the right idea for him to even know about the place.
Money, from the quest
There is money to be had in many places! One needs a more specific reason to go to a certain place.... let's say, a push from destiny (author).
