In this forum, characters should feel free to post their want-ads looking for new family members, friends, apprentices or teachers. There are stickies that will help you get started and formulate your posts so your needs are clearly stated.
For those that don't know about the Scar's and wish to learn a tiny bit more, read this. I will honestly say that I can't answer everything but I can try. For a quick breakdown for this season;
The Scar's is a PC driven gang with the aim to take place among the present Sunberth powers, much like the Daggerhand (who we will be stealing territory from), The Sun's birth, and the Nighteyes. *insert rest of Scars Aims from main thread*
So, to make things cleaner and less cluttered, I'm going to be organizing and playing secretary with the Scar's stuff that happens in Sunberth; here. The aim is simple, here I will be gathering who is in Sunberth and is interested in signing up with the Scars or who is looking into the mysterious 'Hound' - all set after the related Calender event for our lovely, winter calender;
35th, addendum: Rokan, a Daggerhand general and one of the few remaining, is slain and put on display by a faceless assailant, at the steps of the gallows near Robern's old mansion, with a note attached to his chest, daggers driven through his heart and hands, eyes carved out and put in his mouth.
The time of the Daggerhands has passed. With their leader gone and in the wake of the storm, Sunberth seeks new opportunity. Too long have we paid the price in blood and coin to Robern's muscle and too long have we allowed them to grow fat and confident in their control.
If you seek change, if you seek power beyond what the individual can give, if you seek control or the blood of Daggerhands on the frozen ground...then I have work for you.
A New Power is rising in Sunberth.
I have already dispatched one of Robern's generals. I alone claim the deathright for this act. My power is no myth and my goals are not meager. If you seek some throw against the fates or share my desire to reduce Robern's vacant empire to rubble...find me.
If you are skilled enough to follow the whispers, we will be in contact.
-Hound
Now to where I come in. For those who are interesting in looking into the Scars or joining, you have to go through me - I'm serving as the first wall to Filter out and interview potentials who might be good for the cause, before giving them another lead to run after. Now before I get asked "How do I secure an interview?" Or "What would be suitable to see in a thread for Hunting down Hound?" or is "This okay?" and so on. So, I've created a miniature hit list on what I would do and like to see based on what I have seen players do already and how I/Fallon would investigate things ICly;
Hit list :
Most important; PM me or leave a comment and let me know of your intentions. By making me aware I can at least book you in/suddenly descend upon you in the middle of a thread.
Hear about the rumour and show hearing about it in thread, maybe even grab one of the fliers that are floating about.
Back to what it say's on the fliers post: "Contact the local Storyteller for details if you have any questions." Twister won't bite.
Ask about the rumour itself to speakers of it, ask who is hound, and question as much as possible. Show some investigation skills.
Act out scenes where information is being dropped, being bribed out, over heard and so on. Taking a leaf out of Raz's book;
"You have seen the flyers around town? About this... Hound?" The bartender kept his peace for long ticks, and Razkar could see his mind whirring away, weighing up the pros of admitting as much, or the cons of doing the same. Eventually he just shrugged. "Yeah, everyone has. Loada' cobblers, you ask me..." Razkar wasn't, but he wasn't about to alienate the man by saying so. Instead he ordered an ale and paid for it... with twenty gold mizas. Merv cocked an eyebrow at the excessive amount, the raised line of hair asking the only relevant question. Razkar obliged him. "Well, if it is not just... cobblers, as you say-" Razkar wondered what a collection of shoemakers had to do with it "-let him know the savage from the docks wishes to speak to him."
Pay attention to what is being said ICly; I know I'll be dropping one or two hints here and there to prod in the right direction. You'll just need to notice them.
Go to locations where you think he's been? Pace them out and look at what's lying about there - if there is anything that is.
So, if you think you've done it, send that PM my way, ask for that thread and let the fun begin. I will be floating about and leaving a few threads here and there to get the ball truly going. Yes, this is a big recruitment/interest drive, I'll be logging who is and isn't interested SOMEWHERE. As a word of warning I'm currently only in Sunberth between the 35th and the 65th (safety net values), so please don't ask for posts before or after those dates!
So, usual words, if you're interested say, etc.
Let's get threading!

Fallon is a Master of Intimidation, "At this level, a Master intimidator often unconsciously intimidates their target unless the intimidator monitors their stance, tone, and actions to prevent this. Master intimidators will nearly always have a reputation that precedes them unless they have taken special care to prevent it."
Special thanks to Fallon for getting this all organized.
*hugs her lots*
What we intend to do here is something that has not been accomplished before. Taking over as one of the top gangs of Sunberth will be tough, but very rewarding in the long run. We'll take territory, extort businesses for protection money, or even let them operate freely in return for loyalty.
I can't do this without interested PC's...and the gang will evolve and change based on the PC's in it and the direction they take the gang. We'll be utilizing NPC's as well, more number for our gang...but the success and direction of this group depends on YOU, the joiners.
This PC has the Blight gnosis. As such, you as a player need to be aware of what that consists of. Wrenmae has an invisible aura that amplifies sickness and disease. Wounds may become infected, small sneezes may become coughing, and a slight fever may become more serious. A nuit's body will also break down faster in the presence of the Blight. These effects may not be immediate, but within the few days following your encounter, the symptoms will manifest. Some sooner than others. I cannot control your character, so creativity will be left up to you. Best wishes and stay healthy!
To keep all that excitement going, a PC (who will remain anonymous for added fun) received their first Hound clue drop today. Meaning there's a new Hound rumor floating about, hurrah!
Don't worry folks, there's plenty more rumors to go round for you all -that will slowly be released as the season goes on. So hike up the investigations and begin the interrogations, and get this out there!

So Hound hunters and Scar seekers, to help you guys along in gathering up information I've put up another potential Clue drop thread - if you get past Fallon's heavy handed interrogation.
Also, in other news soon there will be mini Scars event - woo! - so watch this space.

Any word as to when yer gonna point Raz in the direction of something(s) worth killing? Season's wearing on and I'll be leaving before the very end, so... where do I need to post? Perhaps Fallon's thread?
My Words | Your Words | Myrian | Fratavan | My Thoughts Razkar has been cursed by Yahal, and as such finds little acceptance from others; they will instinctively view him as being deceptive and traitorous. However, when close to one blessed by Yahal, the effect is negated. The curse is etched onto his left pectoral, and viewing the mark causes others to feel dirty and unclean.
As I told you in your PM, by all means come on in and I can try and sort something for you. I believe Wren would also like you along for the Scars Mini-Mission event (though I cannot speak for him), but should that not be to your specific taste and liking I'm sure I can arrange it so you can test the mettle of those looking to learn more or cause direct harm to this little group. Of course, if that is also not to your liking other things can be thought of.
Simply, what would you like to do? There are a lot of things that need doing but unless a specific field of interest is alerted to us we are going to have a difficult time catering to your needs. After all, to take from Wren above; what directon do you want to take this?
As a note this applies to all those interested in the Scars, sure I have my own ideas but what about you guys? If you don't tell us we won't know.

Razkar is pretty simple when it comes to wants: he wants to slaughter as many worthy souls as he can in Myri's name... so Sunberth is like a big-ass buffet for him! That said, he's also said he would pay Wren back for his help finding the target of a Zeltiva contract killing, so he's looking to make good on that.
Really, anywhere that requires large-scale death and destruction that djed can't accomplish? Raz is yer man. This mni-event you mentioned? Definitely possible, but if you have another location or group you want wiped out or decimated, he'd be happy to help there, too.
I know, not exactly a masterclass in character exploration, but he's not gonna be around forever, and he HATES leaving a debt unpaid. So... hope that's a good enough outline for you! What would YOU perhaps need from HIM, though?
