Treyburn - Cousins Now Open! (Family/War Drama)

[Ivory]

Armor can help a bit!  <3  What age are you thinking of making her now?  Just curious!

[zozee9]

38 or 39. How close do you want Redly and her to be in age?

[Ivory]

Doesn't make a difference to me!  I just want to make sure his background is lined up OK!

[zozee9]

Let's do 38. So she joined the army about two years after him. Does that work?

[Ivory]

That's fine!  <3  Yay!

[zozee9]

... so when was Reagan killed?

[Ivory]

That's up to you, my dear!

[zozee9]

Hmm... how about when they were twelve? That's old enough for him to argue reasonably with his dad and for Jana to remember it well. Plus, then most of the kids wouldn't have been born yet. Redly and Braxton would know, I assume. Keira probably wouldn't know. And everybody younger wouldn't know either... Is it safe to assume that neither Redly nor Braxton would tell their siblings about Reagan?

[Ivory]

Redly wouldn't...  He's all for *not* completely traumatizing little children!

[zozee9]

Hmm... so it's just the matter of whether or not Braxton would spill the beans...

Once all the sides for the Treyburn's are established, I'll add them to the character section of the war info page :3

[A Quixotic Knight]

<_< >_> <_< I'll just leave this here.

Character Age?  24
Character Name? Celandine Treyburn
Player Name? Not-A-Bandit
Role in Family/Personality (1-3 words) Cursed, aggressive, loyal
Views on Magic Chell was taught that magic is a tool like any other (in secret, mind - though that's a bit of a long story), although she does often feel some shame at having a gift of it at all. She bristles easily at any accusations by knowing parties that she might use her persuasion to manipulate the situation, since she restrains from using it at all unless deemed necessary by certain figures.

So... I have a question. I was thinking that Chell would be cursed. Do you think Daddy Darryn would have gone out with any hunting parties, like in the old stories of Lords and Ladies? I imagined that she would have been cursed because of an incident prior to her birth in which he or another member of his house directly beneath his supervision ended up shooting and killing the mortal animal companion of a fae creature. Do you think that would work?

[Ivory]

Yay for characters!  <3

Sure, that works fine!  Huzzah and stuff!

[A Quixotic Knight]

Yayyy! But there's more! +_+

... If she was cursed to turn into a horrible monster, and he knew this, do you think he could be convinced (or act on his own accord, to protect his family name), to have the baby left in the woods hoping that she'd die or be taken by fairies? >> << >>?

[Ivory]

As plausible as that sounds, I guess I personally am unsure what that would bring to the Treyburn plotline...  Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something, but from your description, it seems the character would not know anything about the Treyburns (and may not know she's a Treyburn, for that matter), and she would not know anything about the other Treyburns.  I guess I just really don't see how a not-Treyburn Treyburn would add an RPable element to the family.

Bandito and I discussed this at length in skype, but we didn't really say anything on the forum. Basically the idea was that she'd be abandoned at birth but then found by Baldor who would want to bring her back to her family for unknown reasons. He'd be a huge pain in the rear about it to the Treyburns and may use it to mess with the family name for abandoning a perfectly healthy child that doesn't seem to have anything wrong with her. The idea was that whether or not the Treyburns took her back in Baldor would have taken care of a lot of her education.

So basically just reasons for political tension.

[zozee9]

The question becomes: would Ma & Pa be mean enough to abandon a baby?

[Listenbeastie]

.

[zozee9]

Oooo idea! So let's say Ma & Pa are mean enough. Then problem solved, it happened.

But if they aren't?

Maybe Chell was still-born. Ma & Pa leave her wherever, thinking she's dead. But whatever curse that's in her takes control a little while later, and she comes to life. That way she might think she was abandoned, when in fact she was merely dead.

[zozee9]

Oh btw here's the link for Jana... I haven't really filled much in yet... but yeah.
