Hradian and Wharram Percy are distant cousins.

Perhaps they grew up in the same city (Port Brax?), and spent time together (probably frowned on my Wharram's father), and that is where he picked up his stealth and acrobatic skills from.

Yeah Port Brax. If I recall, we made some news parkour'ing across the buildings there. But the real problem was an angry Thieves Guild...

perhaps we stumbled upon something The Red Hooks didn't want found out so we had to leave.

(or perhaps a smaller guild)

the quiet before the storm...

Sorry all. The holidays have been playing hell with my schedule. I will have a post up by Tuesday.

No problem, total understand the holiday thing.

Wharram and Vicente are cousins who stand to inherit from their family equally.

I would imagine a uncle (or aunt) on Wharrams Algosian side of the family married into Vicente's family. As a merchant family, maybe they were stationed in Karok for a while and decided to stay.

I'm happy with this idea. How about it being an uncle? Would Wharram have spent any significant time with this branch of the family while they lived in Karok? I'm willing to bet that if they had then Vicente would have some memories of childhood mischief that the two of them may have gotten into together. Or, perhaps, they mostly met during stuffy formal family gatherings filled with polite conversations? I can imagine a Downton Abby-esque party where Vicente's mother istructs the eight year old boy, "...be polite to the boy, for Aunt Felica's sake. The poor dear." What do you think? This helps establish if our characters see each other as allies, or competitors at the beginning of the game. I'm leaning more towards wary allies, and the stuffy family gatherings myself, but not too attached to the idea. Vicente would be in line to inherit something since he actually treated Aunt Felica and her husband, as family instead of 'different.' What do you think?

What sort of friend do you think would bind the two of us? A preferred shopkeeper perhaps? Maybe a cousin of Vicente's fell into hard times while helping to sail a merchant ship between our two cities, or tried to 'save' Hradian from the bottle? How Medici do you want to go?

Lets go with the uncle then. I like the idea of wary allies and stuffy formal meetings. perhaps they managed to get away from the formalities a few times to build the beginnings of trust.

hradian is related to wharram, so there is that link if needed.

That works for me.

happy new year!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Sorry for the wait all. The game is afoot.

My bond rolls are:
[1d6] = 5
[1d6] = 3

I'll add a background after I see how my bonds go

I tried to find an acoustic version but failed, but I thought that ALBERTUS' marching song might sound like an acoustic version of this:

Quite possible, THanks!

I'm not trying to discourage people from asking questions but my PC is ready to set out.

Unfortunately I have received a PM that sulldawga is leaving the game.

sorry to see you go sulldawga

Best of luck to you!

I'm currently sick. Feel free to move ahead without me for the next few days. I should be back before the weekend.
