Hello, I'm throwing a suggestion out here that might be helpful. I know it'll save me a lot of trouble for my next set of character creations.
I'm going to create a noble family of crazies and creatures (the house of Usher, yay) involved loosely or directly with the council of Necromantia, many being lords and ladies and such. However, with noble families, I'm afraid of taking ranks because I'm not sure if they're already taken or not.
To get to the point, I was wondering if maybe it might be a good idea to have a list of taken ranks with character names (and profile links, if we wanna get spiffy with it :3) included so that no one will be taking any one else's rank. For instance, something like this:
Quote
Connlaoth:
King - CharacterNameHere (www.zomgprofile.com) [PlayedByThisUser]
Queen - CharacterNameHere (www.zomgprofile.com) [PlayedByThisUser]
Blah blah - Bler [PlayedByThisUser]
So on - Blah [PlayedByThisUser]
Etc.
Knights:
- Name Here [PlayedByThisUser]
- Name Here [PlayedByThisUser]
- Blah blah [PlayedByThisUser]
Obviously, because whoever organizes the list can't go through every single Join post to find out who's what, we might make a thread where anyone who's anybody mentionable (people who have a rank and aren't just normal characters) can post saying "Hey! My character called "Blah" is a mordecai in Connlaoth!" and they'll get added to the Mordecai list for that country/province.
Just an idea. I know it sounds more complicated than it is, but I'm bad at explaining myself. >_> It would make creating characters of singular-availability ranks much less risky and confusing.
