Technically Nor is Astaroth I think, but yeah, I guess she would Knight for Abraxas. And as she forms in my head I see her as sort of stubborn, reckless, wears her emotions in the open; would probably butt heads with Cora but as I think on it I can't see her being keen on a warder bond. After what happened to her mother and watching what happens with Teague, I feel like she would develop a rather unfavorable opinion of the practice.

i think you should stay astaroth. car and i talked through nor and tea some more: we figured they have a big falling-out at one stage and after that, nora returns to train with and fight for astaroth: leesa will have somebody to hang out with over there. you guys should talk something out. mentors or squires or somethin.
and i'm sure we can figure out something to keep her involved. uh, she maybe met abraxas through being friends with nor, and therefore seeing teague, and therefore abraxas? at any rate she and tea are gonna be sharing abraxas/' headspace through the bond, which could get pretty novel. obviously teague grew up with an astaroth girl but if he's still leery of astaroth anyways because that's how abraxas kids are raised they could have some super cool rivalry especially compounded by lord abraxas' romantic attentions.
what i need to do is lean on suze to come back online and make us an astaroth lord/lady. that's what i'm gonna do. |

Also, I can see Cora and Leesa being pals, which could be fun if tension between their houses starts building up.

I am liking this all so far. Nora and Leesa could be a rowdy pair, depending how they turn out, more instigated by Leesa I'd think; I see Leesa respecting Cora as a rival of sorts --and then getting confused when she realizes Teague is the other Warder.
For that matter, how do Leesa and pundemic's lord meet, if Leesa is still to be the other Warder knight? Though Nora? Or a whimsy of a tryst where he whispers sweet nothings to Leesa and they all regret it in the morning? Or does Leesa dare him to do it in the midst of a drunken night out only to regret the choice when she realizes she has to share? Leesa doesn't like sharing.
Question: If Teague dies, hypothetically, will Leesa feel the absence of him in a negative way, as if the Caster had died? |

Low' wants a name? I name my character...
Lord Mephixyl Abraxas (Meh-fick-zill, Xyl for short).
EDIT: Y'know, another thing we should probably establish is the point at which we're starting, if you know what I mean. With all this planned plot we have to decide what is presently occurring and what is already in our characters' pasts.

I would be up for maybe a mentor position with Leesa and Nor? Thinking that she starts her training at Abraxas but after her falling out with Teague, she leaves to finish at Astaroth.

I was under the assumption that we'd start RPing with both warder bonds in place, Leesa's most recently, to ensure kick-off drama. I don't know how Leesa and Xyl would meet and get their bonding on, but I think it would be neat if she wasn't privvy to Teague until after. A deep seeded rivalry between the houses would make Leesa torn up about the bond she made as well, but unrequited love could make even fae do funny things like indulge in a forbidden affair.
I would also love a pre-existing mentorship between Leesa and Nor. Leesa would have been rough with her at first (some minor hazing?) for going with Abraxas for a time, but mellowing out as Nor proves herself loyal.
...Seleesa is turning loud, jealous, and easily frustrated in my head, but she has a good heart even if she is impatient and always rushing to and fro. A fae of action, if you will, and quick decisions that cause trouble more often than not.

Well Nor would have been raised Abraxas due to inter-family issues, but I sort of wonder how Astaroth would feel about it?

That makes me think we need an Astaroth noble ...Who think we can lasso Jimmeh into this plotting?

That's some mighty lasso you got there Claus, not gonna lie. It reached all the way across the Atlantic without getting snared on the internet ^^
So anyway, I come packing an idea, with FC and name and all manner of wonderful things attached. Enter Alastrina Idranel III, Lady of the Noble House of Astaroth (Ah-Lah-Stree-Nah Ee-Drah-Nell). Yes, I just wanted to roll that name out, because yeah, long winded names are great, yes?
Quick character synopsis of Alastrina, she's a political animal, backstabbing, ruthless, incredibly condescending, but entirely prim and correct. The sort of person who will call you a blithering, tongue-tied, unwashed ape, whilst smiling politely at you, sipping from a cup of tea. In finest china of course. She likes to whimsically remember times gone by, but while her outward appearance is that of almost serene acceptance of her House's new lot in the world, she's secretly seething at the loss of status, and of course the reduction in the number of people she can boss about. I don't, as yet, have anything concrete, and I need to PM Low about a certain idea I have for her.
Now that this is up, and assuming this all works for everyone, I'd like to see how this develops in terms of her interactions with people. I for one would love to see some tensions between the two houses xD
Oh, and here is her FC <3

I've been working on an intro-story-post-thing for Xyl. I was thinking, Low, it's a scenario where Teague is not immediately present, but is somewhat involved, and it ends at a point where he could be just about to show up. So if I post it, you could do an intro-post about what Teague's doing at the same time, and then their first thread could be the continuation where they're both present. How'zat sound?
And...Alastrina (sorry, I've lost track of who's playing you); is your character a caster? Because if so (and even if not) there's some great potential for butting heads with Xyl. Either directly and/or warder-related?
And I was thinking we could perhaps start even before Xyl and Leesa bond. I've got a half-baked idea for how they could meet, and I was thinking that could be one of the first threads. But, as always, I'm totally fine with whatever.

Tis the mythical Jimmeh. Only not so mythical because I'm here in the flesh. She isn't a caster. Yet. Just looked at my reply from Low, so yeah, it's in motion. Just need to get her made, in all her darling-ness. But conflict is good. Alastrina will use any excuse to try and slander an Abraxas, particularly if she finds out about anything going on with members of her House and him. She's wonderful like that. I can see the two of them duking it out as only nobles can do. Over a fine drink, with polite smiles upon their faces.

The more this plot evolves, the more anti-Abraxas Leesa becomes in my head. If she had any inkling that Xyl is Abraxas, she'd stick her drik between his ribs. I'd love to find a way to make it work though, their Warder bond, so Leesa can be full of self loathing and incurr the wrath of her Mistress Alastrina. What ideas have you got boiling around? I'll try to hep make 'em work.
Speaking of plots Jimmeh, do you have any preferences for how our gals get along? Unlike Teague, Leesa wouldn't be happy following a noble around as a personal body guard, but what if she was Trina's most loyal errand/mission knight that Trina sends out to do her *ahem* less than pleasant work. Nor might not like it, but if she's an Abraxas defect, well, loyalties must be proven >] |

That would be marvellous Claus. Or Saphira. What should I call you here? I think they'd get on fairly well. I'm thinking almost friends, except for the fact that there's the huge rift of status between the two. That, and Alastrina's a fairly horrible person. As long as Leesa doesn't mind getting her hands thoroughly drenched in blood, everything will be peachy ^^
But anyways, I can see some serious hell breaking loose if she finds out her most trusted Knight's been off playing around with Xyl xD Which should be interesting. Some ideas flitting through my head that need exploring. I'll throw them down when I get more solid thoughts.

Ha. I got caught up in reading this thread and forgot to respond, so I'm just gonna reintegrate Cora into this hullabaloo... As of now, i have her guarding Xyl with Teague and causing him a lot of greif, and perhaps in a loose relationship with Xyl? She could be an instigator for events that cause tension between the houses. She'd challenge people to duels or be someone's sibling orrr...
