[Location] The Nitrozian Estate

[Verilian]

The Nitrozian Estate The Nitrozian estate is actually composed ot three buildings side by side ranging from large to medium to small. Located on the northern side of the Noble District, the estate houses the entirety of the Nitrozian family, including the family slaves. The largest and most luxurious of the buildings houses those of the family that are related by blood, as well as holding the dining hall, various rooms for entertainment, and Sitanos Nitrozian's private office. Every room in the building is luxurious, and servants can be found all over to attend to the family's every need. The middle building is less luxurious, though still better quality than most people in Ravok enjoy, and houses the non-blooded members of the family, as well as various offices, the kitchen, and other business related rooms. The smallest of the buildings houses the slaves, as well as the washrooms and other areas the family doesn't want to have to deal with personally. While the estate houses the Nitrozian family, it is often filled with all manner of people either coming for one of the many upscale affairs the family puts on, or to see one of the family members for business. The doors to the estate are almost always open, though individual rooms are usually locked. The estate is active during all hours of the day and night, and slaves are always present to serve the family's needs. Housing: Blooded - For blooded members, the luxury bedrooms include a fine bed, average bookcase, average sized wardrobe, average armchair, and an average desk with plenty of space to spare for additional furniture. Every room has a nice view, either overlooking the lake itself, or one of the better maintained canals running through Ravok. There is always at least one slave wandering the halls to attend to the needs of the members of the family. Most Nitrozians have gone to great lengths to upgrade their rooms well beyond the standard layout, however. Non-blooded - Non-blooded members of the family, those related through marriage or adopted in for business reasons, recieve a room equivalent to the better rooms one might find in one of the NHC complexes. They are medium sized, some have balconies and some do not, and contain a bed, a small wardrobe, one chair, and a desk all of average quality. Slaves: - Slaves get a small room containing only a bed and a small dresser to store their clothes and other possessions. Often they share a room with another slave, having bunk beds, but still only one dresser. OOC: To live in the Nitrozian Estate you must be a member of the Nitrozian family and have storyteller approval.   Nestor Olcott Name: Nestor Olcott Race: Human DoB: 72nd of Spring, 465 A.V. PoB: Ravok Title: Chamberlain Skills: 66 Subterfuge, 63 Intelligence, 48 Organization, 31 Rhetoric, 26 Weapon: Dagger Gnosis: None. Additional Info: Olcott is the chief of staff at the estate. An icily calm and composed man, he never lets anything affect his good manners. His formal duties include organizing servants at the estate itself, as well as keeping books on the family's formidable continegent of slaves, scattered on various posts all over Ravok. His less formal duties include being Sitanos' confidant and caretaker of various dirty work. While the family is not particularly involved with Ravok's criminal underworld, such contact is unavoidable and has to be handled correctly. Espionage, bribery, blackmail, disposal of evidence, unfortunate "accidents", all are employed to keep the Nitrozian business image squeaky clean, or at least as clean as it possibly can be. He's not only an intelligent planner and strategist, but is also uncannily street-savvy and fast to react to emergencies. If a family member needs anything or anyone quickly hidden or erased, they come to him. Close acquaintances of the man can tell that he's lived through a dirty and dangerous youth, despite his flat denials of it.

PoB: Ravok Title: Slave Skills: 40 Intelligence, 39 Observation, 37 Socialization, 37 Housekeeping, 15 Organization Gnosis: None. Additional Info: Born a slave, Bryony has been owned by the family her entire life. She is a general (non-personal) servant, looking after family members and guests alike. She serving meals, tidies up, provides them with news around the city, or just entertains them with conversation. Raised to be a maid from a young age, she has proven talented and charismatic in this role. She is not only competent in her duties, but also has good personal relations with most of the family members, making her a valued asset at the estate. She is used to being treated well and has a big ego for a slave, considering herself to have a higher status than her peers. Other slaves tend to accept her attitude as justified, but some resent her for it. Bryony is also one of Olcott's primary informants, keeping him updated about the social status quo at the estate. Sorting out the tangled webs of familial intrigue is no easy task, but Bryony performs it well, and perhaps most importantly, she does it without stepping on anyone's toes.

PoB: Ravok Title: Ebonstryfe Commander, Envoy Skills: 52 Weapon: Longsword, 44 Persuasion, 31 Intimidation, 27 Unarmed Combat, 26 Rhetoric, 17 Politics, 12 Subterfuge Gnosis: Chaon L1 Additional Info: Baratieri is an Ebonstryfe Commander and the official contact of the Ebonstryfe and the Black Sun at the estate. Any formal business between the family and the two organizations is handled through him. Baratieri has been a permanent fixture at the estate for almost a decade now, and developed friendships with many of the family members. He is something of a snob and enjoys being part of the high culture, regularly attending family events and paying visits to the family businesses. However, this doesn't come at the expense of his duties and training. Most of the slaves dislike him because he's rather demanding and expects to be pampered. However, he has also been known to arrange buyouts of slaves who he deems to be good candidates for joining the Ebonstryfe. Occasionally, he may invite a martially inclined family member as well, or at least try to pique their interest in the career by introducing them to his prominent colleagues. Baratieri himself is a formidable swordsman and a devout follower of Rhysol, while also having gained many influential contacts during his stay at the estate. While he has every basis to seek a promotion to Paladin and receive his second mark of Chaon, this would likely mean his removal from the estate in favor of a more active position, which is something he does not want. This has left him somewhat ambivalent in regards to his future career, as he keeps discretely looking for ways to both have the cake and eat it as well. Developed by Evarista Nitrozian   Imhon Name: Imhon Race: Akalak DoB: 72nd of Spring, 432 A.V. PoB: Riverfall Title: Slave Skills: 32 Endurance, 28 Gardening, 26 Carpentry, 19 Masonry, 10 Unarmed Combat Gnosis: None. Additional Info: Imhon is a slave, and has been in the family's possession for around half a decade. He's mainly kept at the estate, but periodically sent out to any family business that needs of a pair of strong hands. His primary duties include the upkeep of the hanging garden, fixing minor damage on furniture and ravosalas, and do all sorts of heavy lifting around the estate. Imhon is a taciturn man, completely unwilling to talk about his past and about how he has ended up in his current situation. He always does his work thoroughly and without complaint, earning the adoration and respect of other slaves by lending them a hand whenever he can. The reputable slave merchant who sold him offered a complete guarantee that the Akalak is not dangerous, but many of the family members are still a little afraid of him. He's usually not allowed inside of the blooded family residence, spending most of time outdoors or in his tiny carpentry workshop. Developed by Evarista Nitrozian   Victor Licentas Name: Victor Licentas Race: Human DoB: 72nd of Spring, 489 A.V. PoB: Ravok Title: Guard Skills: 39 Weapon: Halberd, 31 Intimidation, 26 Detection, 22 Unarmed Combat, 20 Storytelling, 7 Singing Gnosis: None. Additional Info: Victor is part of the familial guard, employed at the estate. He guards the front entrance and also acts as a portier, welcoming guests and shooing away beggars. With a background in mercenary work, he's a rather rugged fellow who has been far and wide. He secretly resents the pretentious atmosphere at the estate and feels much more at home relaxing among his old friends. His favorite haunt is The Spot, where he goes as soon as his shift ends. After having a little to drink, Victor is happy to share the tales of his past adventures, but is clever enough not to prattle about his current work too much. After having a little more to drink, he may also display his love of singing. While having a good voice, he has no ear for music, something he's very self-conscious about.
