OOC: King's Islands Green

Current Introduction and Stuff
The King's Adrian Islands, or as they're known in Lanlanian: Keinan Adrianik Öslenva, is a small island chain in the Adrian Archipelago owned by the Holy Lanlanian Empire. Canonically, they've always been an overseas territory of the Lanlania--essentially in a colony, sans the name. The islands have been heavily Lanlanianized over the decades, to the point where they're now mostly Lanlanian and the native Adrianic culture is a minority (if even still present). The islands are recognized by the Lanlanian government as personal territory of the king--meaning that, while the islands are Lanlanian, the Lanlanian government forfeits direct jurisdiction over them...to its king.

He can't be bothered to exercise control over them, though, so the King's Islands are self-governing. They don't even have to pay taxes to the Lanlanian government--isn't that wonderful? My thanks for making Soren richer though, hehehehehe. (You pay him taxes. :) )

In any case, that effectively means that laws in the King's Islands might be different than those of Lanlania. It also means that 'politician' is actually a role someone could play and be effective at it. Though, the King's Island's laws might still be similar to Lanlania proper, so let's just go with those, unless someone lobbies for something different. Here are some general details on certain controversial topics, while here is an overview on certain areas of society; pay extra attention to the law enforcement...because I will be watching you, hehehehe.

Obviously, there are Lanlanian troops on the island. There's probably a major military base, given that Estovza is nearby and that it and Lanlania don't really like each other. There'd also be several minor facilities with electronic warfare facilities and a few cruise missile bases--this island is central for exercising control over the eastern seas.

Here is a Caprecia Minor Epicmap updated with King Augustus's Island (yes, I named that just now). That would be the name of the island, of course. Main cities and their populations are:

Augustusadag96,000The capital and largest city. Think Honolulu but smaller and cooler (both literally and figuratively). The local riksdag (officially the Keinan Adrianik Öslaner Riksdag; or 'the riksdag' to locals) is based here.
Harpafel24,000A hilly town in the center of the island. A lot of the island's traffic passes through here.
Surradag32,000The largest city on the southern coast. Sees adequate inter-islands shipping.
Vastmelldel18,000A city built around a castle. Said castle has long since passed into the Bonde's hands and is still maintained and occupied. Most of Lanlania's local operations are based here.

So, yeah...setting aside, what are we RPing, exactly? Real-life, yo. Crazy and backwards, I know, but, it'll be fun...really. :p

You guys will be able to pick up pretty much any realistic character you want and do whatever you want. If it's illegal, be assured that the Lanlanian Royal Marshals will be after your ass. I'll try to add some semblance of greater order, and I'll probably be RPing as the NPCs that you'll meet from day-to-day. The important ones, at least...you'll be able to exercise some control over NPC characters in the environment. Might be more fun for us if I do it though, given that I'm the highest authority on Lanlanians and their personalities and such, and it is more fun when you're RPing with another person. You'll also be able to form your own little groups and stories, but try not to destroy the society or I'll cut you.

So, without further ado:

NAME HERE
Image or Description:Basic Data
Posted ImageFull Name: Edvard Hiedvin
DoB/Age: 396 (25 in 321)
Occupation: store owner/merchant.
Known/Strong Relations: None
Short Bio: Edvard is a Lanlanian merchant based in the Keinan Adrianik Öslenva mostly because of the absence of taxes. He owns a small fleet of freighters, most of which he inherited from his dead father, that go to and for and deliver his shipments of... Stuff. He doesn't has a specific good, and he owns a large emporium in the main city, Augustusadag, where he sells his wares. Obviously he's pretty rich. He's always considered dabbling in politics but hasn't yet choosing instead to focus on his business, which is now thriving. When his family died he decided to leave Lanlania and the islands seemed a good spot to settle. He still owns land in Lanlania somewhere, but doesn't go there often if at all. He's lonely, mostly because money isn't good company, but now that his business is mostly stable he might have a chance to cure his loneliness.

Secretly, he's always had the dream to be a masked vigilante/superhero... <_< ... >_> ... But you didn't hear that from me ;)

Jesper Hylgaard
Image or Description:Basic Data
Average size, middle aged, short, dark hair,
dark eyes, brushy moustache, well-dressed,
speech impediment
Full Name: Jesper Hylgaard
DoB/Age: (<28> in 321)
Occupation: Formerly a military medic, now working as the assistant of a medical examiner
Known/Strong Relations:
It would be nice if someone would play as my characters girlfriend who leaves him
Short Bio:
Jesper Hylgaard was born in Augustusadag where he grew up in a difficult environment. As a child he was ''an accident'' and his mother reminded him of that every day. She was an alcoholic who earned her money by inviting men over at her house. Jesper's father left him when he was still a baby. Jesper moved out at a relatively young age and joined the army. He was quite a good soldier; always remaning calm where others panicked. The army gave him a medical training as he was an intelligent young man, despite his speech impediment. His military career suddenly ended when he attacked and abused one of his fellow soldiers. He found work as an assistant of a medical examiner at te local hospital. Hylgaard is a shy and lonely figure, with a low self-esteem and lives a withdrawn life.

Approved! Interesting character...eager to see how he's a non-gangster criminal. Lines ups the cyber-crime division's funding.

Anyway, I guess prostitution on the King's Adrian Islands was illegal until the early/mid 310s, just to avoid conflict with this guy's back-story (it's probably been legal in Lanlania itself for a few decades now). I'm guessing he resigned from the military following the investigation into the...crime? Homosexuality isn't frowned upon in Lanlania--nor on religious grounds, at least--so he wouldn't have been prospected by the military. So, there's that. Shouldn't change things much though.

Okay well I assumed already that his mother illegally worked as a prostitute, you know inviting ''friends'' over at her house and stuff. Jesper was indeed thrown out of the army after they found out about his assault, but no charges were ever made to keep the affair out of the local media. With ''abuse'' i meant beating the crap out of someone by the way, not sexually :P

Btw I always prefer the 3rd person view omniscient narrator thing... With 1st person everything suddenly becomes so... personal

Hmmmmm. Let's pin in it on an Adrianese commanding offer, then. Them and their outdated social concepts. ;)

I don't suppose I could convince you to find an image, though? It'd make the character chart look nicer. :P

But, regardless, any thoughts on the other questions? Character point of view...the who are you quiz?

Flo and I think it'd be a nifty way to start it...having the characters answer a dating site's crazy personality/who are you quiz and the consequent blind dates.

I just realized I think this guy is homosexual and I'm not sure why.

Counter edits! Yes, first person seems personal. Likely why I'm bad at it. Don't really like to share what my characters are thinking and why they do what they do.

Well...the prostitute mother, the brushy mustache, the abuse from a fellow soldier in the military...the introversion...there's just some vague pointers, is all. xD

Isn't the character chart wonderful? <3

I tend to vary in what I use (1st or 3rd) between RPs and what I feel is right for that character. But I'd be willing to go for 3rd person in this RP.

Yay! Moar characterz!

Perhaps we could have a local pub or something, Ye Ol'de Pub, where everyone is having a drink at the same time at the same evening and then see how things go from there?

The dating test thing is kinda not-so-odd...In the IC OP, I might just introduce the setting (and thereby let you all spawn in the same pup), or drop you all on the quiz's website. I'll think of something as I'm writing it.

IC thread!

Sorry Flo, but maybe we can play blind dates later. ;P
I know Nents is interested in the bar--and its easier to meet up--so I went with that. If you and Blac wanna spawn there too, go for it; if not, feel free to jump in somewhere else in the city or whatever. >.>
