Character Development Threads

These threads should be done for every Sister. Posted on this board, they will serve two purposes: First, each should include an "Aes Sedai Bio" at the top that tells us about your character and what other Sisters in the Ajah would know or perceive about her (for example, your personality, your general views, past actions, etc.). Since biographies of characters often do not include their time in the Tower (and cannot be edited after approval), this fixes that problem.

Second, the threads will help keep track of old RPs any one particular character was involved with; ideally, all the RPs you've done (that are still available, anyway) should be linked on this thread. Why? Because it's fun to read other people's stories and learn about their character! More practically speaking, though, they help you to keep track of what you have done over a long period of time, and fellow Ajah members may desire to know what their Sisters have been up to these years. We also can learn better about your character this way.

Each Sister should have her own thread, though there need only be one post per thread. The post can be edited to add in new RPs as they are completed.

These are separate from Monthly RP Reporting (see below), which is its own thread.

The desired format is below:

Role-play History

Arranged from oldest on bottom to newest at the top (in terms of IC timeline).

 

2018

• RP Title/Link Here
• RP Title/Link Here

2017

• RP Title/Link Here

 

 

Role-play Reporting

Preferably, RP reporting should be done on a monthly basis. For any role-play threads your Sister is involved in, please report here (Link TBD). This is separate, and more detailed, from your personal character development thread. This is where the Ajah Head will come to gather information to pass on to the WT Staff, keeping track of Active sisters. 

 

 

Current White Ajah Projects/RPs

This section will list any current Ajah-wide, open or important RPs. 

• Enlightenment in Art (Open to All)

 

 

Major/ Important Ajah RPs (WIP) - The List goes from Most Recent (at the top) to the Oldest (at the bottom). This list includes Ajah-related RPs and sometimes major/important Tower RPs that your character could have reasonably taken part in (like Caladesh's attack on the WT).

 

Unearthed: 999 NE. Lillian Tremina visits a White sister, Suzaku Nalemar, who is acting as a village wisdom, to convince her to return to the Tower and help be a voice of reason in the election of the next Amyrlin Seat after Lanfir's disappearance.

Unearthed: [Link]

 

One Last Stand: 999 NE. Caladesh, a Dreadlord/M’aeshadar, wreaks havoc in the White Tower; Lyanna (Keeper) is killed, among others, and Lanfir (Amyrlin) was burnt out and disappeared. (Caladesh was murdered by Lanfir in his cell; public knowledge is only that he was executed by the White Tower).

RolePlay Ideas

Anyone can suggest RP ideas; please start new threads for each individual idea for planning.

 

 

Things that need doing/ Recently Completed:

 

• A definitive Ajah Timeline. - (WIP) - When did sisters join the White Ajah? Who was what position, and when? (This is for the timeline; please post below what year or your character's age when she was raised AS) - Link TBD.
• White Ajah Politics - (Completed; Below)
• Role-play Threads - find and link important White Ajah RPs.

 

 

Ajah Politics (WIP)

 

Current Allies: Blue, Brown
Neutral/Undecided: Yellow, Gray

Opposition: Gray, Green, Red

 

The list is arranged, in general, from our strongest allies to our strongest opponents. Keep in mind that the list is mostly a guideline, and an Ajah may sway any way depending on the matter at hand.

 

• Blue: Historically, Whites have often sided with Blues against Reds. The Brown, Blue and Yellow Ajah formed an alliance against the Greens after Lanfir went back on her word to chose a Blue Keeper, choosing a fellow Green instead. From tSR, "White stood with Blue... But Whites prided themselves on dispassionate logic."
• Brown: The Brown Ajah has been at odds with the Greens ever since the disaster at Namandar (an AoL city which an expedition from the WT was sent to investigate), and are therefore considered allies.
• Yellow: Yellows made a faction with Blues and Browns against the Greens after Lanfir chose another Green as Keeper (against her promise to do otherwise) when she was raised Amyrlin. Though the Amyrlin has changed, it is doubtless the Yellows' position did. One of the three Sitters stood the first time to support Shevara to the Amyrlin Seat, and then all stood when asked a second time; they were the third-to-last to stand. They are considered neutral.
• Gray: The Gray has supported the Red to oppose a change in the gentling law. They also sided with the Red after another law change requiring Sisters leaving from the WT to dangerous missions to have the Hall's permission. Grays and Greens often support each other in the Hall. They supported raising Shevara to the Amyrlin Seat. Therefore they are bordering between neutral and opposition.
• Green: The Greens have a strong alliance with the Red, and therefore are considered in opposition.
• Red: The White Sitters were the second-to-last to stand for a Red to be Amyrlin Seat (In this case, Shevara, the current Amyrlin). In The Shadow Rising, it is said: "There was no love lost between Red and White; they had stood on opposite sides in the Hall of the Tower for a thousand years. White stood with Blue... But Whites prided themselves on dispassionate logic."

 

 

DM White Ajah Customs

• [WIP]

 

Ajah Facts and Customs from the Books

• Sisters of this Ajah abstain from matters of the world and worldly knowledge, and instead devote themselves to questions of philosophy and truth.
• The Head of the Ajah is called the First Reasoner.
• Among Whites, being sent off from the Tower on a mission of some sort, even as part of an embassy, was looked upon as drudgery at best, and at worst, punishment.
• The Ajah network is small, but not non-existent, as other Ajahs assume. Even the Whites—as a group, anyway—want to try to manipulate world events, along strictly logical lines, of course.
• Aside from the First Reasoner, the head of the Ajah, there is no internal structure whatsoever. Her authority is very high, not much less than that of the Red Ajah head and roughly equal to the authority of the Green or Yellow Ajah heads.
• In choosing Sitters, the support of ten sisters is required to become a candidate. It is considered unseemly to campaign in any way, either to become a candidate or to win selection as a Sitter. Voting is not by secret ballot, but by open show of hands.
• Most Whites never bond a Warder.
• White sisters are often seen wearing white but this is not required, as Daigan was always seen in a dark blue dress slashed with white.
• For mourning, sisters wear long black ribbons instead of white (like the other Ajahs).
• White Quarters: The tiles of the White quarters are all plain white; also the walls- "The plain white walls, lined with silvered stand-mirrors, held only a few simple tapestries, images of snowcapped mountains, shady forests, stands of bamboo with sunlight slanting through them."

 

Eyes-and-Ears Signals

While only a few Sisters in an Ajah know who heads the Ajah's Eyes-and-Ears, signals, which are taught to all sisters within the Ajah, are put out for when they have an urgent message to give any sister of the Ajah that happens by. Signals are only put out when the message is important and must be received as soon as time allows.

• [WIP; Suggestions welcome]

• White henpepper in a tall, fluted white vase with daises. (It is a plant that can soothe a toothache or dye hair black).

 

 

Important Weaves

These are weaves you will learn as a White sister.
