| 22:35:37 Nov 21st 08 - Prince Validus Septim II:
This is a new and improved version of the last one. It is not complicated, most of the list is only if you rule a country. I have included EVERYTHING on this list. The stuff you should read in the beginning is highlighted. Prominence 2 Introduction The goal of this RP is to come to prominence by any means necessary. You can either protect the people and be rewarded with gold and land, or take the gold and land from their corpses. It is completely up to you. This will feature PP, or Prominence Points. You will need a certain amount to get a rank within the world of Ersos. Each real-life day equals two months, but you only need to post for one day. :-) Titles Good/Evil - These depend on how you play. If you're a Highwayman who kills for cash, you'll be evil, if you're a valiant protector, you'll be good. If you become a slave, you must wait ten days to have a fifty percent chance of escaping, or you can start over. You get negative PP points when you refuse to show up for military service. Starting out You start out with nothing but a shack, you can buy almost anything, land, slaves, armor, weapons, just about anything, if you have enough you can buy a whole country! Builds: Careers Job list Level one Class R - Skill required: Reading Class F - Skill required: Fighting Class T- Skill required: Tactics Class M - Skill required: Mathematics Class O - Skill required: Oration Class S - Skill required: Smithing Class C - Skill required: Thieving or fighting - Obtain thieving for a hundred gold from a shadowy figure behind the academy. Upgrading a skill one rank will give you double the pay from your job, so if you become a smith, and you go learn veteran forging for 1000 gold, you will be payed 500 gold instead of 250 gold per day. Food - You must eat at least one of these a day. Red meat - 15 gold, will help you gain and maintain an athletic build, which makes you stronger in melee combat. Don't eat more than three in a row unless you want to be a lumbering tank in battle. Bread - 5 gold, does nothing for your build, but it fills you up! Doughnuts - 10 gold, makes you gain an obese build...which does nothing but slow you down... Skills Reading - 1000 gold Fighting - 100 gold, free with becoming a soldier for two days. Tactics - 1000 gold Math - 1000 gold Oration - 400 gold Smithing - 500 gold Thieving - 100 gold Ranging - 300 gold. Magic Veteran: 3000 gold a day for seven days, on the seventh day you will be a veteran of magic. Expert: 9000 gold a day for seven days, on the seventh day you will be an expert of magic. Master: 27,000 gold a day for seven days, on the seventh day you will be a master of magic. Courses are expensive...gotta make them that way or people becoming scholars will buy them all with their first paycheck, a course takes a day to complete and by the end of the day you will be a journeyman in that area. The ranks are: Each rank costs triple the previous, so if you learn Journeyman fighting with your two days in the army, you will pay three hundred gold for veteran, nine hundred for Expert, and 2700 for Master. Books You may also learn through books! Though it takes a week to learn by reading, and you must have at least a journeyman skill level in reading to learn Mathematics for Novices - 550 gold - Teaches Journeyman Mathematics.

Iron chainmail coif - 150 gold Iron cuiress - 400 gold Iron pauldrons - 150 gold. Iron boots - 200 gold. Iron gauntlets - 200 gold. Iron helmet (barbute, greathelm, or armet) - 400 gold. Yew longbow - 100 gold, arrows cost 50 gold per dozen. Yew shortbow - 75 gold, arrows cost 50 gold per dozen. Housing: 7000 gold coins - Two room house with kitchen. 10000 gold coins - Three bedroom house with kitchen. 13000 gold coins - Four bedroom house with kitchen. 15000 - two story home, six bedrooms, with kitchen. 17000 - two story home, six bedrooms, with kitchen and swimming pool. 30000 - Large estate, twenty bedrooms, with kitchen and swimming pool. 50000 - Massive castle, fifty bedrooms, armory, treasure room, prison, barracks, and stable. Housing is quite expensive, you can upgrade your current shack though, but not much. Farmland, five acres - 1000, you recieve 200 gold a day if you choose to farm it. Ten acres - 5000, you recieve 400 gold a day if you choose to farm it. Fun There are many ways to have fun, each costs a day, so if you have a lot of money and you want to have your character have fun for the roleplaying factor...some have a chance of giving money back...remember, all work and no play makes you a dull boy! (Not really...) Go drinking: If you drink too much your liver goes to hell and death is the result. Play cards: You have a 20% chance of winning fairly, 90% with cheating, however you have a 50% chance of getting caught and thrown in jail for 3 real days. Cost - 50 gold, Possible winnings - 400 gold. Go swimming: Do this three days in a row to gain an athletic build. Vandalism: Considered fun to some people (I consider it annoying...). You have a 50% chance of getting caught, if you do you're in jail for 3 days. Play chess: Intellectual game, 30% chance of giving you a journeyman tactics skill if you're a novice. Horse racing: Costs 100 gold unless you own a horse, which reminds me, I need to add horses! Anyways, 10 gold if you have one. You always recieve a weak horse if you pay... Horses - Purposes - You can ride them into battle on cavalry charges, use them for transportation, or you can race them. Stabling - For any horse it costs 100 gold a day. You have your own stable if you have a large estate, so you'd only need to buy food for 10 gold a day. Old weak horse - 150 gold. Chance of winning horse race - 2%. Followers: If you are a knight, you may have six followers, you can pick one veteran skill for them to have, and two journeyman skills for them to have. Naval vessels Landing craft: 1000 gold.
Magic Journeyman: 10,000 Veteran: 30,000 Expert: 90,000 Army - You can buy troops, but they cost upkeep. You have one hundred city guards by default, but you can have more. Warning: If you can't afford the upkeep, they will abandon you, also, all men can be taken by the King/Queen or Duke/Duchess if he/she needs them. 100 men - 1000 gold, 100 gold a day upkeep Guilds: Being a Guildmaster is a passive job, meaning you don't have to work it to recieve 3,000 gold a day Now giving the option to buy buildings to own them! You can either work in them, or hire NPCs to work in them while you do other stuff, such as work elsewhere! These are the keys to BIG money! You can own up to three taverns, Buildings Taverns Smithy Farm Medium Large
A lot of money, but they pay for themselves in around twenty days time...there are countries in other, larger continents, but for right now lets focus on this one...]] Religious Structures To start a religion you must be a veteran in reading and at least an expert in oration. You must also say whether your religion is polytheistic or monotheistic. Currently the humans are a bunch of atheists...no religions out there...you must also build buildings for your religion: Chapel - 3000 gold You gain 5% of the total cost of the building per day, so if you had one chapel you'd gain 150 gold a day. Each building takes one day per 10000 gold, the chapel takes one day as well. You can build up to fifteen buildings. This works the same way Guilds do, you don't have to work in it to earn the money.

| 22:45:32 Nov 21st 08 - Mr. Demonsul: I'm in. I guess I start with nothing but the shack. | ||||
| 22:53:59 Nov 21st 08 - Mr. Delran: I'm in! | ||||
| 23:06:11 Nov 21st 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: [[I don't think I can do this a 2nd time...sorry]] | ||||
| 23:31:01 Nov 21st 08 - Mr. Dethos III: I'll try it. | ||||
| 23:58:06 Nov 21st 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: Alright, first, you must make your sheet, you will post this every day you post (turn). This is to keep track of your gold, age, and pretty much everything else. Without it the game would go down the tube. You can choose to start outside or inside of any capital city. You start with a shack, ten coins, and rags for clothes. Good luck, have fun! Start when you want to, this is a free-join type of game. :-) Name: Validus Septim

[{[Can I have unnatural colors plz?]}] | ||||
| 05:22:46 Nov 22nd 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: You start out with a slim build by the way. :-). And if you'd like those, you can have them. :-). It's your guy, all I ask is that you're eighteen, slim, and human, the rest is up to you.]] | ||||
| 11:39:21 Nov 22nd 08 - Mr. Demonsul: Name: Karzun Demonsul Build: Slim Demonsul came ot these lands as a passenger on a ship, fleeing another land for who-knows-what reason. He spent all but ten coins on the journey, and is quite happy to settle down in this land. Searching out a farm on the north edge of Ulen, Demonsul acquired a job as a farm hand and began to work the fields. His plans were great, but he knew it would be a while before they would work... | ||||
| 14:10:52 Nov 22nd 08 - Mr. Morning: [[when do we start?]] | ||||
| 16:52:22 Nov 22nd 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: Now! :D. And if you decide to join the military, they feed you while you're being trained. :-). Also, make sure you only post once a day.]] Septim woke up and began getting ready. His eighteenth birthday was today, and at last he could get a job. He got dressed in a set of rags that had once been a decent pair of clothes and walked down to the recruiting office in Seris. Inside was a rather slim Sergeant. [[OOC: | ||||
| 21:35:54 Nov 22nd 08 - Mr. Demonsul: Demonsul works on the farm. The day is uneventful. After some time, he goes to the market and spends five coins to buy some bread, he then eats it on the way back to the farm. Build: Slim | ||||
| 23:23:19 Nov 22nd 08 - Mr. Blast of Darkness: i'd join but its alittle too complicated. It would probly be better if you didn't introduce it all in bulk, and only released the new options when someone has got to the stage where they may be able to afford them, otherwise its a bit too mind-boggling. | ||||
| 01:33:10 Nov 23rd 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: Only read the highlighted parts! That's the only bit you need to read right now...:-)]] | ||||
| 02:25:01 Nov 23rd 08 - Mr. Delran: After a few days of thinking about his future, Delran realised that the only decent thing he could do was to join the military. A military career would be best for him because of the blood that run's through his veins. It would not be a shame to start from the bottom. He could not ask for more due to his condition, and none would ever give an army to a young and unexperienced man. | ||||
| 12:36:09 Nov 23rd 08 - Mr. Demonsul: Demonsul decides to move on. Two months on the farm had added a little weight to his pockets, enough to see him through the coming times. After bidding farewell to the kind farmer, Demonsul set out. He walks for a few days, buying some bread in the villages he passes. | ||||
| 18:23:13 Nov 23rd 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: Tomorrow (if you joined the military yesterday) you will be able to go to the university, there you can learn one free skill. :-)]] After another hard day's work, Septim finished his training. He was given the rank of Private and one last meal in the Mess Hall, he than walked to his shack. After a brief swim in a nearby stream, he saw that it was too late to do anything else, so he went to bed. [[OOC: | ||||
| 12:19:26 Nov 24th 08 - Mr. Delran: Another training day, the last one, for Delran. He was than sent to the caompany commander, where his release papers were signed. He received the rank of private an was told that starting from tomorrow was was free, but he may be called to active duty in case of war. Delran than went to the mess hall for his last meal there and to the barracks. Packed up his things o leave tomorrow at first light and went to sleep. | ||||
| 13:41:39 Nov 24th 08 - Mr. Salaracen The Frostwaken:
| ||||
| 14:57:15 Nov 24th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: Validus woke up and made his way down to the academy, where he used his free course to become an orator. After he was done he walked down to the bakery, grabbed a loaf of bread, and walked down to the Foreign Relations Department. After recieving a job as a Diplomat, he walked home, where he swam and ate. After that, he went to sleep. [[OOC: | ||||
| 16:44:48 Nov 24th 08 - Mr. Demonsul: After waking, Demonsul bought some more bread to keep his stomach full, then set off to Mitse army center. After two month's training, he finally thought he knew enough about fighting, and decided to go home. However, he also realized that army life was not for him. His four month term was just coming to an end. He decided he was going to seek out a new job. | ||||
| 09:59:16 Nov 25th 08 - Mr. Delran: Delran left the Training Camp early in the morning. He went straight to the Academy and learned Journeyman Tactics. This took him all day. After learning the basics of tactics, he left the Accademy and went to the Army HQ, where he was enlisted in the military ranks as a Lieutenant, with 350 gold pay. | ||||
| 14:27:12 Nov 25th 08 - Mr. Salaracen The Frostwaken: After two months of hard intensive training Salaracen could finally see some progress in his skill on the battle field. | ||||
| 15:50:34 Nov 25th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: Also, if you join the army and take part in a campaign, you will gain a fighting skill point, and you might even learn tactics.]] Septim shows up for his first day of work happily and ready to change the world, though since he is not experienced, Septim is put under the Head Diplomat, Caran Hasildor. After a full day of doing the Head Diplomat's work for him, Septim returns home, picking up a steak on the way. After eating, he goes for a swim and goes to bed. | ||||
| 17:42:31 Nov 25th 08 - Mr. Demonsul: Wake up, wash self, buy bread, eat bread. It had been two months since Demonsul had found a job. Luckily, those tow months were not in vain, as a notable Scholar was in need of an assistant, and had heard of Demonsul's search for an occupation. Gladly signing up, Demonsul got to work fetching, carrying, and learning to read while his master wasn't needing him. The scholar was pleased at this, and recommended a number of books he had made for when Demonsul was skilled enough, such as The Techniques of Avason, which Demonsul thought he would find dull. | ||||
| 02:35:10 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Delran: Delran woke up in the morning, put on his uniform and headed for the Serilian Army HQ. There an athletic Major was waiting for him. | ||||
| 05:17:39 Nov 26th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: You don't get any PP for being a soldier. You mainly get PP from battles, great deeds, and making cities. Right now only one of those options are open to us, the first war'll be tomorrow.]] | ||||
| 07:00:04 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Salaracen The Frostwaken: [[OOC: Does it matter what area I'm in? I dont particularly want to be in the same country as someone else.]] | ||||
| 10:14:24 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Delran: [OOC: Like it or not, me, Septim and you are in the same country. And you are in the Serilian Army, just like me.] | ||||
| 15:16:39 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Salaracen The Frostwaken: As the final day of Salaracen's service ended, Sal went over to the Academy. Upon leaving the Academy he had learned how to Read. Salaracen then went to the nearest University and applied for the job of Scholar, in which he would receive 400 gold every 2 months. | ||||
| 15:33:41 Nov 26th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: Eventually countries will start going to war, and I like to do wars in one post, but I can't do that if you're in another country...]] | ||||
| 15:46:28 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Salaracen The Frostwaken: [[OOC: Ahhh I see, Serilia it is then.]] | ||||
| 18:54:03 Nov 26th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: Will post my post and the battle later.]] | ||||
| 19:59:10 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Demonsul: Demonsul had been working for the Scholar for two months, and it had all gone wrong. One day, after his daily bread, Demonsul had accidentally dropped a pile of books into the fire. Quickly collecting his wage, Demonsul ran out of the Scholar's house before he noticed his mistake. However, he just had enough time to grab Basic Tactics on his way out. It wasn't technically his, but he might as well take it. He knew that the Scholar had more than one copy, and he'd think he just burned it. It was also the only book Demonsul could understand and was interested in. | ||||
| 20:25:29 Nov 26th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: Everybody who chooses to fight a guerilla war against Helvon recieves 2000 gold, 5 PP (knight title), and an officer's rank in the Serillian Military (Lieutenant). Delran gets Captain as he was training in tactics. Serillian officers get longswords as well. Also, don't forget to add a year to your age, this war took a year to fight.]] Septim got up, went to work, and walked to the store. After eating some red meat, he heard the town bell ringing. He quickly ran to his home and buckled his blade before running to the compound. Helvon was invading. *** After a battle for the city, Serillian forces were forced to retreat. Many soldiers changed out of their uniforms and decided not to fight, but a select few would not stand for it. They began a guerilla war against Helvon, and after a one year war, they retook their country at last with the help of their new ally, Ulen. The Patriots, as the Serillian Rebellion called themselves, were each knighted and given two thousand gold coins each. And after a long guerilla war, they were all journeymen in tactics and veterans at combat. [[OOC: | ||||
| 20:50:45 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Demonsul: *fall over | ||||
| 22:26:32 Nov 26th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: Non-soldiers can still be Freedom Fighters...]] | ||||
| 01:11:50 Nov 27th 08 - Mr. Delran: After the battle for Seris, where the Serillian army was forced to retreat, Delran was left with only 30 men and one sergeant. When he saw that many of his comrades, soldiers and officers, dropping their uniforms and heading for their homes, Delran assembled his unit. | ||||
| 16:30:19 Nov 27th 08 - Mr. Delran: *bump* | ||||
| 17:20:45 Nov 27th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: "I now name you Sir Validus Septim, arise Sir Knight," said Emperor Garon Serillius, the recently freed Ruler of Serillia. *** During the Guerilla W*beep*ptim had been both a negotiator and a soldier, but now he felt that he must learn to read in order to succeed. So, for one thousand gold, he spent the month learning to read under an instructor. Afterwards, he ate red meat and went home to sleep. [[OOC: | ||||
| 18:07:08 Nov 27th 08 - Mr. Demonsul: Demonsul was having a fair time as a highwayman. He was seeing more gold than ever before, and had only seen it necessary to fight once, and that was against a fat noble who regarded himself above everyone. He lost that attitude the moment his hand came off, and he had happily contributed 100 gold to help Demonsul advance his career. | ||||
| 18:23:33 Nov 27th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: [[OOC: The word "Big plans" gave me an idea, do a big heist, that'll give you 5 PP and 2000 gold. Along with the Ringleader title!]] | ||||
| 18:41:05 Nov 27th 08 - Mr. Demonsul: [Gladly! Can I skip 2 months ahead to catch up with you and do that quickly?] | ||||
| 02:39:55 Nov 28th 08 - Mr. Delran: The next day after becoming a knight, Delran went to the Imperial HQ. There a Colonel told him that he will receive a company to command. In addition to his remaining me, Delran would receive 70 soldiers, 3 sergeants and 2 lieutenants. Delran took command of his company and took them in the field for training. He released them in the afternoon and headed for his home. On the road he stopped to eat some red meat and took a swimm. Then, he sold his old shortsword for 200 gold. When he arrived home he went to sleep. | ||||
| 08:20:51 Nov 28th 08 - Mr. Salaracen The Frostwaken: In the last 4 months Salaracen had worked as a Scholar and helped liberate the city from the grips of the enemy nation of the Helvon. | ||||
| 10:31:43 Nov 28th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II: Now able to read and write, Septim returned to the academy once again to study Veteran Oration. By the end of the month, he was a veteran of oration. [[OOC: | ||||
| 12:51:18 Nov 28th 08 - Mr. Demonsul: After another two months worth of work, Demonsul was surprised at the rate he was gaining money from his job. He decided that he had to do something with it soon, bread and combat training was not enough... | ||||
| 02:27:59 Nov 29th 08 - Mr. Delran: Delran woke up and went to the barracks to pick up his company. He then took them on the field for another day of training. He brought them back in the afternoon and went to eat some bread and take as swim. He arrived home late a night and went to sleep. | ||||
