Family Invitations

[Casilda Tametomo]

Watch this space for the unsuspension of Family Creation, soon™ !

If you've been in the clan for at least 6 months and would like to put forth your worthy name as a potential family for those with whom you are well-acquainted, simply create a post in this thread with your surname and details regarding what might be expected of a potential candidate. If you then find someone you would like to add to your RP family, and when application-taking resumes, PM the information for review.

When posting your potential Family's information, please consider the following and make notes accordingly:

Racial: With respect to any certain game or racial archetype, do you want your family to be of one race only, or of some combination?

Timezone: Do you want your kin to be in the same timezone as you? Or perhaps even a different one?

Roleplay: To what degree would you like them to roleplay?

PvP: What PvP enthusiasms (if any) should applicants possess?

Archetype: Do you want applicants with certain playstyles, such as crafters, mages or archers?

Themes: Are certain themes important to you? Should one be content to be poor, or comfortable with riches and ambition, or solid yeoman stock? Do you want internal drama, generational conflict, or a lack of same?

Unique Renown: For what do you wish the family to be known for that extends beyond mere archetypes and playstyles? Politics? Exploration? Musical ability?

Social Status: Consider carefully the implications and limitations of your social rank on the process of building your family. The higher the original rank, the stricter the constraints. The greater the social progress, the more complex the requirements.

Other: Anything important to you which isn't yet covered. You may expect your prospective family members to undergo interviews, tests, quests, auditions, or duels.

(Feel free to suggest more criteria to be mentioned in this list.)

Before making any decision, consider carefully what your aspirations in Wessex are. Those with whom you associate yourself to the point of blood relation could be a deciding factor in some pivotal issues of career and rank.

Please try to take this seriously. Roleplay is done for fun, yet these decisions carry implications and creating family ties shouldn't be a flippant or hasty exercise (even elopements can take some planning, /ooc). You must be able to trust your family members with your reputation as a player, not just a character, in this clan.

The application must be made by a member who has been in the guild for longer than six months. It must include detailed information about the other members; this obligation carries on to future members of the family. If the application is substantial and meets the six month requirement, a more in-depth investigation will be carried out as to the integrity of the family and its members; this will be conducted in a timely but thorough fashion and in no way permitted to discourage roleplay by being overly tedious.

The creation of a family will not always be fast and families will be limited in their number of members, to varying degrees. The more members you have, the more complexity in obtaining more, so make careful choices.
