FEBRUARY HAPPENINGS

MORE

IT'S... A PARTY? FEBRUARY TDM Festive preparations As a show of good faith to the Ketsoran delegation, Aldrip's locals hastily turn the events center into an elegant reception hall. Apparently it's Ketsoran tradition: visitors to your city should be welcomed with a lavish party--the more days and expenses paid, the better. Aldrip is determined to make this party generous and decadent enough to appease their neighbors to the south. There's a long, long list of things to do in preparation--not just setting up for this party, but rebuilding and cleaning up damages left behind from January's events. Between February 5 and February 12, Chosen may be asked, volunteered, or guilted into helping get this party set up. They may be asked to run errands between businesses, decorate the events center, prepare food, learn how to play music and perform (or some other talent of their choosing. jokes? juggling? anyone?)...the sky (and your imagination) is the limit. A masked affair Another Ketsoran tradition: masks and formal attire will both be required to attend this party--and it is very important that the Chosen attend this party, since one of their own was responsible for the tension. Tailors and seamstresses will be adamant about making sure the Chosen are clothed immaculately in formal wear, though they can be talked into various styles, colors, and aesthetics, so long as they can be convinced that the Ketsorans will be pleased. Characters found avoiding the party can easily be cajoled into attending. The locals are being pretty forceful about this. A night at the ball The party will go on for several days, with drinking, dancing, and good food. Effects going throughout the month (for example, Missile Toads II: The Electric Boogaloo) will still be up for play here. Partygoers will also be able to sign up for a Dance Card. Be warned, though: those who sign up for this dance card will find themselves missing a handful of things (of your choosing) such as memories, physical/mental traits, abilities, or items. The only way to get these things back is by completing the dance card--meaning, dancing with others throughout the week and getting their names on those cards.

William G Maryblood | The Faraway Paladin

[strength_of_will]

Player: Chips
Contact: DM this journal or my other character emet_sulk

Character: William G Maryblood
Canon: The Faraway Paladin
Canon Point: Before entering the Rust Mountains

Crime: Being a monster in human guise

Background/Personality: William was adopted and raised by a family of undead heroes after they rescued him from a group of demons intending to use him as a sacrifice. He grew up isolated from the world, but they taught him everything they knew so that he would be able to survive once he reached the age of maturity and left home. His middle and surname is a tribute to them: Au(G)ustus, Mary, and Blood. William's martial prowess and piety eventually earnt him the honour of being annointed a paladin. It is his life's goal to restore the name of his patron goddess, Gracefeel, and to fight against her sworn enemy, the god of undeath, Stagnate.

Abilities: He possesses the very typical abilities you would associate with a paladin. Wards against toxins, dark magic, the ability to steel his allies against fear etc., and also the power to lay the dead to rest. His physical strength is monstrous. He's not necessarily a spectacular mage but he's very good at adapting lesser spells to situations, which is more important than brute strength (as Gus taught him).

Plans:

- William has attended some formal events before so he probably knows how to dance. Probably. I don't know what missing things I would have for him yet though. Maybe possessions? I feel like him missing his memories isn't terribly interesting. Either way, he'll probably drop by people he's familiar with or see who's new.

- Other than that, he'll be recovering from organising the fight in January. Helping the townsfolk rebuild etc. It's a good time to spread the name of his goddess, Gracefeel! New players who would like to visit him, know that he has taken charge of a church formerly run by an NPC and is encouraging people of multiple faiths to gather there.

- I'm planning to give him a small canon update to the end of the Rust Mountain arc. Not this month but perhaps later to give him time to breathe.

How can you run into my character?
- As mentioned above, the Church of Many Faiths where he will offer minor healing in return for small donations to keep the place running
- Around Aldrip during rebuilding efforts
- Rumpitur maybe once every other week trying to talk with them and reassure them that he understands what they went through etc.
