Hey there,

I play a 16 year old Dracnari, Apprentice of Nil. If any one looking to expand their family, send me a message. We could be could blood-sisters/brothers, from the same family or whatever. I'm up for anything fun.

You would be better off trying to get with someone your character already knows in-game and trying to set something up with them.

I can understand why Endlessnite might want to do this on the boards. If you just go up and ask someone to be your brother, it's kind of awkward, in terms of RP. Then again, they're private tells.

It's actually a good idea to ask on the forums. It's a good way to roleplay with people you don't know so well, and you can get to know them better in the future.

It's so unbelievable when it turns out, "The guy I've been best friends with for two years! I just found out he's my biological brother!"

What makes a lot more sense is, "I think I've found out who my biological brother is...he's some dracnari from Serenwilde. I've been thinking about visiting him, but I'm not really sure. What if he doesn't like me?"

If you have another buddy you play with from another Realm you could play along with him. Saraxus and I just come from Achaea, so it's all good fun. :/ *chucks RP out the door*

House Tliwx is working on getting off the ground. To join the family you must either be Dracnari or married to one. Im waiting for my soon to be IC fiance to long a few more hours so I can propose to her, soon after that I will formally establish the family. We have formal approval from the Gods, so there will be no issues with the fact that we are Descended of the Scuchidira Tliwx and her family members. ("Scuchi Mabuchi" was the High Flame of Gaudiguch. (gm of the pyromancers) and an ambassador.)

I agree. OOC Boards seem to me like just the place for setting up the framework of IG roleplay. That way you can focus IG on the fun part.

Using the boards has worked wonders for me so far... How about you Furloch?

I think Cronus is about ready for a sibling. If you're a tae'dae and want to the second Whiteclaw adventurer, then contact me. At the moment, no history has been properly put into place for my character, or for the Whiteclaw family, so if you're interested, then we could work on it together OOC, perhaps over AIM or MSN.

NB: It would be easier if you're a Serenwilder, however if you're from Celest or Magnagora, I'll still bloodbond with you - Cronus will just be disappointed in your choice, and perhaps won't like/trust you as much.

Since this seems to be an ads type thread:

Looking for a Merian (Celest/Serenwilde) to be a sibling. Age is no large issue, though it'd be nice if you weren't more than five years older or younger than Mox is (19). No family name or history decided yet, though I've got a vague idea of what the family would be like, which makes it easier to get a history. PMs.

Heh, I've been wondering about this, myself. I'm looking for someone to be Slythe Eboncrow's little brother. Probably Elfen.. I've pretty much got down the hard lines for my family history, just looking for someone that's maybe 3-5 years younger than Slythe. *shrug*

Actually, the 'best friends' scenario makes perfect sense. Even if you hadn't even yet considered the possibility of that person being related to you, dosen't it make sense that on some subconcious level you would feel a sort of companionship or attachment to them?

Maybe. However if you look at it logically, finding a long lost blood relation within your current small circle of friends, or at least your one best friend, is much less likely than finding him to be someone you've never met.

The Carthan family will be looking for more members. Aris and I have bloodbonded, and I have someone I'm likely getting married to. But then, I need someone to marry Aris, and bloodbond to my future wife. Then, we'll need kids.

And extreme ability to RP is required. All family ties are going to be by adoption.

Not technically, as it could just be anyone. It just tends to seem a bit contrived if your best friend turns out to be your brother.

That's exactly what I said, although I was talking in RP terms. IC, you can't "plan" unexpectedly finding your long lost brother. Contrived is what it seems indeed if you look at it from an OOC viewpoint.

I've considered the consequences of making Rauros be one of the last surviving "pure" merian in the world. By pure I mean he has never been cross-bred with other races. If that is indeed possible, I would guess it would alienate him to everyone else, probably make people bitter about him because he is proud to be a pure merian and likes to show it. There might even be other "pure" merians that sprout up, and we might find we're all part of the same bloodline...

The problem with calling yourself the "last" one is that anyone else can pop in and say they are also "pure", thus defeating the purpose, unless you're totally willing to RP that with them.

Well.. since others are doing it and Kaervas wants to be a great house, currently Arthardar's are looking for family members. They can only be Viscanti, must be a Magnagoran.

Well, isn't this fun.

Any Celestian Merians (and I know there's a lot of them) wanting to join Briseis and her sister Natiquila, of the noble house of Nerianstar, please let me know!
