tuyet's plots

[Shen'lon]

I actually lost this entire goddamn thing 80% of the way through, so it's not as thorough as it would have been otherwise -- but anyway, meet Shen'lon. First and foremost, he serves his own interests. He will cleave the skull of whoever you want, provided he's given the right price. Shen'lon doesn't enjoy fighting, as much as his appearance begs to differ, but in a world ravaged by fighting and revolution he figured this was the best way to make use of his abilities.

(Note: his goal is actually to get enough gold to buy back his family's lands and go back to farming. It's nothing particularly impressive, because he's a fairly simple man with simple needs.)

In terms of relationships with others, the long story short is just that he doesn't actually care. Trying to be his friend is akin to attempting become familiar with with a brick wall that can walk away at will. He doesn't speak much, and when he does he's usually bitingly honest. On the other hand, he likely has his fair share of enemies. Killing people tends to do that. On his end, however, he probably knows and accepts the fact that there's people who are out to get him -- and ... doesn't care.

As he isn't an emotional personal (... at all), love has been written off as a strange, rather foreign thing. The closest he's felt to affection was his loyalty to his family and attachment to their land.

However, he's still human at the end of the day. It would be interesting for him to find someone/thing to care about enough to fight for, as opposed to his own greedy and rather selfish goal, and I'm 100% down with character development.

Meet Isabela, the headstrong and vaguely aggressive West Khan of Regna Ferox. She's thirty-six and not really counting, and despite being efficient and decisive in what she does -- be it battle or meetings -- the stress of a nation falling apart at the seams is kind of catching up to her.

As such, she's prone to irritated outbursts and random duels.

Despite her flaws, she's not all that hard to get along with; a barrel of mead and good company makes for a happy(ish) Isabela, and even more points if you're Feroxi. Her loyalty remains with her people, and even with everything that's going on she's probably very willing to lend an ear.

Enemies-wise, if you're an enemy of Ferox you'll get the tip of her sword. She won't stand for dissent. Forging bonds of trust is as important to her as it is to the next person, but she's still Feroxi at heart -- if you don't have the strength to back up your fighting words, she'll cut you down without hesitation.

And, uh, romance ... I honestly have no clue lmao.

ANYWAY. RAH RAH RAH GO REGNA FEROX!! Also having her lieutenant would be nice.

Shen'lon I want to thread with Jackie Chan yo. I think you know Ender; he's a 2k+ year old manakete that's only been awake to fight in wars. He's kinda tired of that though (about time, really). I think they should hang. I feel like there's enough callous indifference between these two that they could be... callously indifferent to each other? By which I mean, let's go from Place A to Place B together, and let's murder some bandits along the way. Or become bandits. Whichever pays better.

On the topic of Maeve, Queen of Plegia, she is recruiting soldiers to kill some Grimleals. /shrug

[Shen'lon]

ender That... was fast. Unfortunately, Shen'lon is neither as cute nor as amiable as Jackie Chan, but we can pretend. And yeah, that sounds like a plan. Shen and Ender could have met on opposite ends of a battlefield? Or at least in some sort of fight, and for the sake of having neither of them kill the other before they've even met, Shen'lon's employer could have turned tail and fled.

No money, no fight.

Which means that Shen'lon would be 100% okay with traveling with Ender, if only because he won't have to worry about keeping Ender's head on his shoulders.

Re: Maeve, offer some gold and then we'll talk

[ender]

Shen'lon Maybe they're both on board for the same job, like some sort of treasure/looting expedition, and it turns out to be a false lead with not a speck of gold? That way they'd have been talking to each other for a couple of days, so it'd be pretty natural to go look for the next odd job together. Probably easier to get hired when you have the big guy with scars/dragon kid standing next to you.

I'm down to thread whenever, although replies will be slow coming on Mon/Tues.

[Shen'lon]

ender I'm down with this. Ender and Shen'lon hanging out with each other just because everyone else is annoying lmao. Would you like to start, or should I?

... for that matter, should this thread be post-meeting or during their treasure expedition or what.

[ender]

Shen'lon How about we start when they realize the treasure expedition ain't got no treasure? They can talk about what to do with their glorious leader. (Ender is actually in favor of letting him go, but he is not adverse to killing them and taking all their stuff.)

Do you have time to start? If so, go for it. I've got a few replies to take care of.

[Shen'lon]

ender Now I ain't sayin' they be gold diggers ...
But yeah, sounds like a plan. I have my fair share of posts to do, but I'll probably get around to it tonight. Hopefully.

[Isabela]

isabela's been added ayyy

*squints at* I am going to fail and say Shen'lon please meet Rima she is cute and fluffy and she wishes to attempt to tackle and make friends with a brick wall.

In other news Miss West Khan please notice me I am your cute little stableboy who takes care of all your horses and dogs and other animals and I can fight I just choose not to.
