OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY WHO WANTS TO WORK FOR MATTHIAS
of course you do ya silly ylissean. of course you do. what do you mean matthias is a jerk where are you going no stay omfg :C
So, I have a lot of open positions for people to take if they're interested! Ylisse needs more love anyway there's plenty of interesting things to do here! (I hope, anyway, since it's my unofficial job to cause problems.)
The Ylissean military is a bit known for being... well... archaic. Behind the times. There are a lot of unimportant, honorary titles that don't mean a lot in the long run (what does honorary captain really mean against a regular old captain, anyway?). Your character will probably be dubbed a comically - or annoyingly - long title if they hold any sort of position of power, and if they absolutely don't matter at all, they might still get a title just out of 'sorry you suck have a title'. (Meaning that if you join I might get to have some fun coming up with a silly title for your character. FAIR WARNING.)
With that out of the way, to the actual military parts and positions!
---- PEGASUS KNIGHTS
The pegasus knight division is a very important one to the Ylissean armies! We currently need a Captain of the Pegasus Knights, someone with the effective rank of Phila. Pegasus Knight class or its promotions required to be the captain, obviously. Any pegasus knight in Ylisse can be a part of this division! Wyvern Riders are considerably more iffy, but if your character is good enough, Matthias may make a pardon. (Which means you've gotta thread with me *evil laughter*.) Delivering messages, rescuing targets, and upholding the law are all tasks that I can see Matthias giving out to Pegasus Knights. (And I'll probably request a few when I need to have some IC communication between leaders!)
---- THE ROYAL YLISSEAN GUARD
And here we have the meat of the army. Despite the title being the 'Royal Ylissean Guard', only the highest ranks actively guarded the Exalt and their family. We need a captain! (Imagine about the rank of Frederick). Cavalier, Knight, and their promotions would be recommended, but not required - I'll consider anyone for the position.Bonus points if they are stuck chasing after Matthias and dealing with his bs all of the time. Extra bonus points if it's completely and totally hilarious.
Now, the actual army section of this is very large, Matthias instated a draft to it. When not mobilized, they often patrol and guard the halidom and its cities, and generally help people and uphold law as much as possible. Hypothetically, there could be a million trillion bajillion captains - but let's try and at least give captains some people working under them, ok? :'D (The threads could be super fun. Imagine if there was a group of three and they didn't get along at all. Imagine)
Grand Captain: Valeria
Head Captain: @liam
Normal Captains: cassius
---- NOBILITY
Okay, so they're not actually by default a part of the army, but they'd be sweet to have around and participating if they want, (or being a butt and not participating if they don't want.) Matthias isn't going to bend over backwards for noble support, but he'd be glad to have it! (Besides, what noble doesn't want to get rid of their irritating children by shoving them into the army? Seriously man.) Also, warring nobles. Warring nobles are cool and we should have some of those. Let's do it, man.
Noble recruits: Phyllia
Noble squabblers:
Noble annoyances:
---- OTHER POSITIONS
We need a ~royal advisor~! I really don't want to call it a 'tactician', but perhaps the best example of an advisor's job would be the avatar in the games - but also imagine, trying to keep tabs on Matthias and thinking things through in general. This job is probably going to be a frustrating one if the advisor isn't close/within the same mindset as Matthias! If they do have the same mindset, then they can be cool partners in crime. ; ) Any class is fine, if there's more than one volunteer I'll probably choose based more on plotting potential than anything else. (But there's so many tacticians I kinda wanna encourage everyone be a regular old mage oh god)
While I doubt Ylisse has /spies/ (the halidom has to give off a good image, after all!), I can certainly see a few... 'information gatherers', and Matthias isn't against paying them for their services, either. So if you've got some sneaky characters that nonetheless want to help out, that can be a good place for them to do so!
Of course, not everyone that Matthias wants to work with is a part of the military. ; )
; )
---- BANDITS
This is super duper important, and I think it'd be really fun if we have any bandit characters around! Matthias is interested in paying them to sack some cities on both sides and generally sow chaos - enough for him to get a reasonable excuse to go to war and kill all the dirty fellbloods, just like he wants. It's really underhanded and gross but the money is good at least, so what's a bandit got to lose? Feel free to have paid-off bandits in your threads, even if you're not going to make a player character one!! That would make me happy like all get out.
Bandit Friends: Sonya, Dao, all friends welcome
---- ASSASSINS?
Headcanon time! With all of the warring nobles in Ylisse, there was a rise of assassination - people that were willing to off nobles for money made a killing (hurf hurf) during those times. While things probably have calmed down somewhat, I'd imagine there might still be a few skulking about Ylisse, and, well, Matthias is interested in finding a few. ; ) As long as they aren't dirty Plegians.He might still want them if they're Plegians. This can definitely overlap with, uh, the 'information gatherers' from the other section.
---- KNIGHTS OF CYDONIA
And, well, even though this looks a bit out of place right underneath two sections for unlawful people, Matthias does support the Knights of Cydonia and is willing to help them/back them up with forces if need be!
of course you do ya silly ylissean. of course you do. what do you mean matthias is a jerk where are you going no stay omfg :C
