Leaders for the faction thingys

Werewolfs - Menereth?
Farmers - ?
Merchants - Ri'Zharim ? Menereth ?
Soldiers - elsy said something about the dominion. If not, goldenboy? I was thinking maybe that guy Ro'jhon, but I dont know if he is gonna be with us much longer, dont know much military characters. Goldenboy seems a good fit, he likes the guild and is always willing to help out
Explorers - Ice Eye?
Vampires - Gata?
Hunters- ?
Mages - Bethany?
Mercenaries - Herfi?
Guard - Alijham? Bhidul? Jundara?

Give your ideas guys!
Which characters are still living in S'ren-ja? Who is living somewhere else?
Should characters that live outside, in other cities, have a place in the council?

I wouldn't mind being the leader of the guard though I think Alijham should be the first choice. As for the characters who live outside S'ren-ja, I think they should be aloud a spot on the council but only if they are around a lot and not a criminal if you know what I mean.

Ali would be my first choice too. He is unpredictable, but they are always there and have been filling the shoes of capitain of the guard for the last rps. the character has matured a bit and the player is nice, polite and always active. She is a bit young, though, but I think she'd be able to handle it, but that is my opinion.
What you guys think?

Mercenaries probably don't need a "leader" persay, most of us are transient by nature, but I'll help where needed to involve others in the rp

I would say let the hunters and mercenaries fall into their own hierarchy, we don't need a leader for every single job. Down the line if they want to have a leader, we can let more into the council , we can always add more factions later.

I would say have these as the factions to start, and if other groups express interest, then let them form a group

Farmers (werewolves): ?
Dominion Soldiers: Goldenboy or Ro'john
Vampires: Gata? Bethany? (bethany will be out the rest of the week by the way)
Guard: Alijham or Jundara
Merchants: Ri'Zharim or Merenth
Explorers (PvE Progression): Ice-Eye?

If goldenboy isn't up for it, Ceylian and I had an idea for a story line awhile ago that would suck our characters back into the Dominion and we could be stationed in Sren'ja. Let me know if you'd like to hear it. But that's just a back up if we don't have any others who would take command of the soldiers.

But I think we should have "Healers" as either their own group or own subsection of "Mages," just so we know who to call upon and go to if we have any injuries. Just a thought.

I like the idea for healers, but the only mage/healer i know iş beth

I would like to hear elsy's story. If she wants it,

AFER could lead the guard!

Sorry, in class so responses are slow.

Ceylian and I were thinking about sucking our characters back into the Dominion by having Elsy go feral werewolf (due to a full moon or something) and inadvertently attack a Dominion soldier. The drawn blood would cause Ceylian (a fledgling vampire) to go blood crazed. He would also attempt to attack the soldier, though upon drawing near him Elsy (still feral) would attack Ceylian. They'd end up getting into a classic vampire vs werewolf fight while the Dominion soldier ran for his life.

Elsy and Cey would black out and wake up in a cell in the closest city. They'd be arrested for attacking a Dominion soldier. The highest ranking officer there would tell them what happened, and because of Cey's years of service to the cause fighting in Cyrodiil and being a decorated veteran, as well as Elsy being an agent for the Dominion for many years, they'd offer to let them free for a price- they dedicate year of their service to the Dominion, making them active officers once again. They'd also have to check in every week with a high ranking officer outside of Sren'ja or something. Maybe in Baandari.

But we could have them posted in Sren'ja now that it is becoming an outpost so that they can complete their service.

This is all still up in the air and we need to work out details, but it's an idea OOC Cey and I have been kicking around. We also would have to wrap up the Morag Tong story line with them first. But we can do it if it's needed.

The thing is, Bandaari is another guild and has nothing to do with us. For now I'd like to avoid any mainstory affecting rp or anything like that with them, specially to avoid misunderstanding, since we definitely are not the same guild at all. And also, I would like to give a little more time for all of this to pass.
Also, we also were trying to give a less khajiitized angle to our guild here, and having people report to a khajiiti clan that is not even part of the town would send out the worst message possible.
And like, weren't we going to have soldiers in the council because they were stationed outside of town?

But I do like this idea, I just have one other thing: Dominion is supposed to kill vampires on sight, so I dunno about Ceylan. How he'd survive that? Would then he be sent to S'ren-ja as a place for "rehabilitating" vampires and keeping them in line?

Well the thing is Cey and Elsy are a part of that so they need a reason to keep going there. I didn't mean we report there to them, I just meant perhaps that gives them a reason to go there: an officer of the Dominion that they report to is stationed there. That doesn't have to do with the guild at all, that would just be a thing specifically for Cey and Elsy.

But we were considering that. We thought maybe the fact that he fought so long on the side of the Dominion and became a decorated war veteran would make them soften their punishment on him. So he'd be sent (and Elsy would to) to help and protect the people of Sren'ja, as well as provide for any soldiers who stop there on the way to Cyrodiil.

EDIT: Also, this just all if you guys would even want Elsy to help and lead that. It totally doesn't even have to happen. It was just an idea.

Sorry, in class so responses are slow.

it's ok, throughout the week mine are gonna start getting slower and slower, they might be non existent starting Thursday or Friday til Monday, huge Halloween party in the making lol

sounds like a good story to me, Morag Tong >.> you have no clue how badly I want that to be a thing in ESO, as soon as that armor comes out... if I cant craft it, I'm gonna be pissed and go on a hunting adventure for it lol

I like the idea, was just considering the implications of all the details. Sorryyyy
And like, I don't see why Elsy wouldn't go to bandaari if she has friends there, I see that as a hell of a reason. Specially since she so fast and agile. But that is your character story it is up to you. I am sorry if I didn't express myself properly.
Also I misunderstood possibly, sorry sorry >< it happens. sorry


I think also, I might add that I think I agree with what Ice Eye posted beforet: it's good that we start this new story with as many officers rping as possible, so we can send things to the path we want
But I think that after we do that and settle our new story and all, people can start challenging leadership ic and all.

@ Ri'Zharim: No problem! Halloween parties are great. :D
But YESSS. I CANNOT WAIT. I want the Morag Tong (or Dark Brotherhood) armor and the Thieves Guild armor so bad. They always look the coolest.

@Gata: Stop saying sorry. :P
It's fine, I like the questions. It forces me too look at the story critically and make sure everything has a good answer as to why our characters would do certain things. But you're right, her having friends there is enough of a reason to go back. So I can scrap that idea with having to check in with an officer there.
But I agree. I think officers should be appointed for now until we get things sorted, then we can have them booted out of things as members want to take them.

I can have Dro'Jhala be the head of the council, leading no specific faction and sort of making the council organized

Also I can have Mo'jahi Ice-Eye as the leader of the explorers but then I could never had both of them on the council at once. If we do have explorers faction as a part of the council I would recommend someone else unless I rp two people and only show one.

But if a Clan Mother is the "head" of the council, won't it make it more khajiit? I was hoping Dro'Jhala could be a member like everyone else
BUT I do see a valid point there in having her be like a mayor of s'ren, it could work and it would be cool.

head as in doing the organization stuff, she would have the same say as everyone else. But since she is sort of factionless she could act as a head. So far IC she is supposed to be the Clanmother of SJ and she is an original citizen of SJ, it is her home unlike anyone else we have. xD

I like it.

We now have 5 factions on the council and we should get leaders for them so they can start organizing themselves and recruiting. It would help if every faction has their own list of people who are in them and their roles.
Factions:
Guards - Alijham
Citizens - Dro'Jhala
Soldiers- Unknown
Mages - Unknown
Mercantile Alliance - Unknown

Getting second in commands would also help so they could do things when the leader is not around

Agreed! We need leaders for each, then these leaders need to pick a second in command. Once it's all be decided I can send each leader a list of "to-do's" for the festival. c:
