Sorry for the long wait! I've replied in the Aiel thread. Thanks Sherper :)

I'm really sorry Txarki, the RP side has indeed been extremely inactive and my real life has been hectic so I'm afraid I haven't done much better myself.

In your absence, Quibby has created a new initiation test for the Sovin Nai Society as we didn't have any records of previous ones so we had to start over. But it has never been used or posted because there were no Aiel active from that Society yet.

Your character can definately be Sovin Nai if you wish him to be. You need to re-submit his bio. As for the rank, I'm willing to let you take up the leadership of this society again if you are willing to write up a lengthy solo RP reflecting on your character's rise through the ranks and in to leadership. Your bio would then go up to and including his joining of the Sovin Nai (leaving the details of the initiation out for now) and then the solo RP would reflect on your joining, initiation and training through the ranks. As well as any character development your character went through till he reached the status of Society Leader.

Let me know when you have submitted your bio, then I can go check it out and have it Cross Checked.

Leave your WS to me. I'll fill it in with what is appropriate for the bio and then we can update you as you finish your solo RP.

I was never MoN.

*real name = Sabine* lol

ok cool, then go for it :)

Was I involved in that RP idea discussion? I forgot and can't seem to find it anywhere.

Did you get permission for the ter'angreal thing?

Looks like you still need to iron out some WT things before you're good to go?

Just need to make sure your character's storyline is ok.

So if you can write a Reflective solo RP in which you describe the intermediate time between where your bio ends and when he would arrive in Randland that would make it ok.

It should be a bit more than just a paragraph to get it over with.

I'm ok with you doing the RP's simultaneously. Just make sure that the reflective RP covers the main events he has gone through between end of bio and arrival at Randland.
You can choose if you want to go up to the time the RP from Jagen starts or if you want to leave some for another RP that will cover the time between arriving and the Jagen RP.

But I would like to receive a link to your reflective RP within the next couple of weeks.

Is that workable?

you may need to pm the people who posted here that they'd like to join. Sometimes people lose track of boards when they have to wait on something and then forget. :)

Anyone else that wants to submit a bio:

Make sure to PM it to me too. There's some technical difficulties with the email, so till that is resolved I need you all to pm me your bios as well as send it to fldiv@dragonmount.com

Thanks!

Character Info

Full name: Meissa Turan­­

Age: 26

Role: So'jhin

Physical appearance: She is tall and rather thin, with darker tanned skin and dark golden-blonde hair and green eyes. Her facial features are sharp, and her body toned with light muscle.

Physical weakness: Meissa has always been physical and so does not have what I could call any 'weakness'. She cannot be weak for her duty.

Physical strength: Meissa is always physically training herself, especially in balance and strength training, and speed.

Personality: Meissa is not easily offended, unless someone insults her high lady or others of House Elioth. She spends a lot of time by herself, training, or training with others. Mostly, however, she enjoys the quietness of the countryside and the great distances to be explored.

Personality weakness: She remains fairly clear-headed in a fight, but doesn't like to lose, either. If she does lose a physical contest or a training match, she will always try to make it up by calling for a rematch. Sometimes, however, if one beats her enough, shaming her enough, that person may just pay for it with their life.

Personality strength: Few people can get her riled up when she is doing her duty, and in situations that call for a physical response, she is quick on her feet. She also takes great pride in being so'jhin to Lady Elioth, and this helps her in her duty to serve.

Special: Meissa is very physical and is quick and skilled in fighting with her body alone, though she is also adept at using knives.

History: Meissa works under the High Lady Retamin Elioth. She was an only child, born to a carpenter father and dress-making mother. She grew up in Kirendad, and partially outside it; as a very adventurous child, she did not like staying in one place for long. She was also very athletic, always challenging her body by climbing trees, hiking the summits of the mountains, or swimming long distances. By the time she was fifteen she was recruited to become a soldier. This idea she loved, until she realized how restricting it actually was. It was in Kirendad that she met Cura, and both, working under the High Lady Retamin Elioth, agreed to help the High Lady by killing her younger sister. For Meissa, she was promised to become so'jhin, for by the time this plot was hatched she was already a trusted guard for some years. Her so'jhin training began when she was twenty. It was a difficult road for her on the learning aspect—especially the subtle hand language—but her physical skills only grew stronger. Becoming so'jhin was a high honor for her and her family, and so she gladly accepted it without question. However, she does again miss the freedom she had growing up.

Character Info

Full name: Cura Relis

Age: 30

Role: Der'sul'dam

Physical appearance: Black hair, bright blue eyes, 5'4; average body type. Usually always in her uniform. Cura's face is soft, giving her an appearance younger than she really is.

Physical weakness: Cura is of average strength, and does not have any special training.

Physical strength: She can wield a knife, and was taught how to use a short sword. The damane she is in charge of are her main weapons.

Personality: Cura likes everything and everyone to remain in their proper place. She values order and planning, as well as her job training sul'dam and overseeing them and the damane. And while making sure that others do not rise above their station, Cura herself was a regular sul'dam not too long ago. However, a plot involving the High Lady Retamin helped secure Cura's place working under her.

Personality weakness: While Cura does not care much for anyone except herself, she does care for her younger brother, though she'd never admit it. For her, this is a weakness. But perhaps more relevant to the world, she is very stubborn and close-minded to the non-Seanchan culture—and also very impatient. She brooks no nonsense from people, though has just a little patience with new damane.

Personality strength: Her stubbornness can be her strength, if it benefits her to keep a certain position. However, she can also change her stances quickly to a winning or more popular side.

Special: N/A

History: Cura currently works under the High Lady Retamin Elioth, and helps, at times, to care for her younger brother, who is considered somewhat 'special' under the High Lady's house. Cura was a sul'dam until her recent promotion, as well as the promotion of Meissa to so'jhin, who worked together with Cura in a plot to murder the High Lady's ambitious and annoying younger sister, the High Lady Sera, who was planning to kill Retamin. That business said and done, Retamin kept her seat and Cura got her coveted position.

For her older history, Cura came from west Seanchan, from a city named Sohima. Cura's family were minor nobles. She was a middle child, though her oldest sister went off to become a soldier and she never saw her again after she left. Her brother, who is still with her, serves as House Elioth's map-maker and book keeper. He has a fantastic memory for facts and is the top map-maker in Seanchan, but is rather socially awkward and is usually not in any public sphere. Cura brought her brother with her when she was chosen to become a sul'dam, and together after her training they went to the warmer environment of Kirendad to work for House Elioth.

whenever you're ready, hon.

Here is the current status of the Seanchan:

The Seachan were defeated at Bandar Eban and retreat and conquer Tanchiko instead. The Correnne arrives, with the DoTNM and all of Tarabon is put under Seanchan rule. The main resistance comes from the Seafolk, many of which are captured (again) or killed. The Wavemistress and her Swordmaster die in the aftermath of this battle, refusing to accept captivity and submit to Seanchan rule. Some Seafolk vessels manage to escape and head towards Ebou Dar where they choose a new Wavemistress. (no major changes may be done to the Seafolk characters that may affect their RP main arc)

Currently the DoTNM is kidnapped by the Band of the Red Hand (have to look up where that is at, so consider this ongoing at the time of your RP. Though I'm not sure if your characters would be in on this, as it is being kept secret, obviously.

Hope this helps!

one more day, im afraid..... *sigh* Spent most of the day today in hospital for a 3 minute consultation.

You all have 1 extra day to work on your bios as I have an engagement Sunday (that I totally overlooked ) and I definately need some time to set things up here again.

So new schedule, I'll try to get things set up by Monday evening (my time).

ah I see

wow Jagen, you painted that? You're very talented!

if your character is Aes Sedai, then it needs to be (re)approved by the WT. So best go poke some of them to help you out for this.

Again, I apologize for my long absence, real life is a major ..... pregnant dog.

Anyway, Jagen has a pretty cool idea to play with but I just need to figure out what is possible within the rules of the PSW. However, I really like her idea so I'm going to do my best to make it work.

Anyone who wants to play along get your characters ready. If you don't have a bio yet, make one and send it in. Leave a note here if you did send one in, so I can spot it in time.

You have till Sunday evening, by which time I hope to be able to provide a framework for you all to play in. :)

I'm guessing Jagen that those approvals need to come from the White Tower? Or is there something I need to approve too?

Welcome back Key!

very nice, though I don't know if they use that much make-up as in the first picture.

I sometimes did that too, using pics to build a character. It certainly helps with the visualising and making the character more real.

good to see some activity in here :)

I'm around to get any new character up and ready. Just let me know when you're sending in a Bio, so I can go check the email account and get you started.

hey Jagen, I'm afraid there hasn't been much (if any) activity for a long time. Especially here (mostly my fault with a very busy RL) in the Freelanders.

The status of the Seanchan hasn't changed in years. We've been kind of stalled in progress due to activity problems across the RP side.
 

sorry guys, I've been a crap DM'er for a while now. Real Life has fully taken over I'm afraid :(

But, if anyone can kick the Aiel back to life, it's Lor

Hi there Txarki,

sorry for the long wait till I responded, I keep being swallowed up by RL.

Welcome back! It's always good to see Aiel return :) The RP has been in slumber mode for quite some time now so I'm unsure what the overall policy on returning characters is, but I'm willing to be somewhat flexible given the low activity grade.

Do you still have access to your character's history? If you can submit a revised bio which might feature his RP history that you have done I can take that in to account to determine at which point he can re-enter the RP here.

You can go about this several ways. Either you write an extensive bio that incorporates his training and rise through the ranks (this will need to be lengthier the higher in rank you want him to be) or you write his bio up to a point and then you can solo-RP the rest of his history, in a reflection RP. Again, the rule is that it needs to be justified that he claims whatever rank or position you want him to have.

If he was a Society Leader, then you can get a deal if you are willing to help out with creating the initiation test to that society if we don't have one yet.

How does that sound to you?

Hiya Txarki,

welcome back!

Hey guys,

In case anyone is looking for me, I'm leaving for a week to Scotland in an hour. If you have any urgent business, please contact Kathleen.

Take care,

Myst
