* No godmodding/autohitting/metagaming/trolling, etc. *

* Be Respectful * There is a difference between in character and out of character respect. If your character is a jerk, that's one thing. If you're a jerk, that's another.

* Have fun... * ... and let others have fun. This includes new roleplayers. Don't be mean or discouraging; instead, encourage and send them to the help forums. Make this fun for everyone.

* I am your Patriarch. * I am not your father. Or your mother. If you don't like something that's going on, don't run to me about it and tell me how I should ban or void something. Work it out IN PRIVATE with the other player(s) politely, please. And, in case you didn't get it.. please don't bring it into the forum thread. Thank you. (P.S. I will listen to concerns, and act appropriately if they require my attention. I can mediate as well, but, keep the drama out of the forums, pleeeeeaaaasssseeee. Violators will be spammed cat photos. )

« Sébastien "Bastien" Baudouin de Clovaín, Patriarch of House du Clovaín - 45 - Male- Malthael

I know. No one wants to be a servant. But they are important! Servants are the livelihood of the House, and servants carry much of the story within the house itself.

Just like any other wealthy family, the House du Clovaín utilizes servants, both personal and general, in it's affairs. Just because you are a servant, however, does NOT mean that you are inferior to anyone. It also does NOT mean that you cannot do what you want!

And servants are not stuck in that position forever.

Some ways to move up:
« Undermine a scandal (or start one!)
« Personally protect the family from plots against them (or find your own way to power!)
« Befriend the strange man who calls himself Patriarch (or overthrow him! (Editor's note: Don't overthrow me! I have cookies!) )

Examples of servant roles:
« In-House Servants

« « Attendants

« « « Lady's Maid
« « « Personal Attendant
« « « Health Attendants (Nurses and the like)

« « Cooks
* * * Chef
« « « Chef's Assistant

« « Housekeepers
« « « Maids
« « « Scullery Maid/Boy

« Grounds Servants

« « Groundskeepers
« « « Gardener

« « Gamekeeper

(Editor's Note:
Not everyone can be a family member and this family still function; I would absolutely love to have you all as direct family, but, to begin with, it will be limited and regulated with the number of servants. If you want to be a servant and a family member.... we will talk.)

(empty.)

* Appearance *

The Clovaín family is a fair-skinned, dark-haired people (either dark brown or black) graced with either light-blue or green eyes.

(Editor's note: This is just a guideline; it is by no means required, even if you're a family member!)

* Archetype *

The Clovaín family is proud, cunning, and bold - both in the good ways and the bad ways. Some hold secrets that could destroy the family; others seek to find those secrets and use them to their advantage.

Arrogant and uppity, the typical Clovaín will stop at nothing to get more power.
(Editor's note:
The chained dog, as they say, only gets stronger as it struggles against the bindings that hold it, which grow weaker. What will this family do?)

Le Manoir de la famille Clovaín sits upon a vast hillside with plenty of wooded areas as well as farmland. In the middle of it all, approximately a 5 minute walk from the manor, the ocean opens up; cool water that draws the attention of many children, romanticists, and businessman alike.

* Uniform *

Default Top: Something comfortable and lightweight, dark green in colour.
Default Legs: Again, something comfortable and lightweight, coloured dark purple (a royal colour)
Body: Iron Chainmail, with platemail over it.
Cape: Purple capes not above knee length, but not to touch the ground.

Your weapon will be left to your discretion. If you aren't accustomed halberds (or other weapons), please don't use them. It won't bode well for you in the end. Use what you are comfortable with. Shields are not regulated, either.
