[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 500px][justify]Of course, when she was under the supervision of her parents and the royal guard of her birthplace, she would've never been able to get away with doing naughty things such as this. Even when she'd grown into a young woman had she always been watched over like a hawk on their prey. Common folk and elites in her society had always been feasting on the mistakes of naive, young nobles such as her, so she'd always lived in an all work and no play zone. But a place like DarkClan ... there was so much freedom for her to rub her little paws all over.

"Ooohoohoo ..." The giddy laughter of the elegant Hypatia came with blushing cheeks and a sideways glance. She placed a light cream paw on one side of her face, unable to wipe the excited smile on her face. "I'm in." The Cavalier Spaniel declared to Jones. She'd not yet met everyone in DarkClan—what if she was kissing a total stranger! Oh my.

hypatia gets crushed and then gets blown up
honestly good job hypatia she did better than i would've
these were great im yelling

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 500px][justify]"What is prostitution?"

She would speak in a whisper, a brow quirked upwards. The regal canine had never been exposed to things such as the services provided by the Cartel—however, it didn't take too long for her to realize the negative connotations around the offerings. Something about it made her squirm a bit, but she tried to remain composed. Something suspicious was going on. Hypatia would frown, her soft features suddenly going sharp. Things could easily escalate with things like this—if the leader didn't show up or the strangers didn't decide to move along, it could mean trouble. The red Cavalier Spaniel regretted even speaking, something she usually didn't do. She was a thoughtful person, so usually when she said something she meant it. And, well, being curious, well, that wasn't exactly her fault. [b]"Uh, hm ... yes, I think it's reasonable for us to ask you to leave the area."

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 500px][justify]Hypatia would stalk forward, a magnificent aura radiating upon her, surrounding her, enveloping her as she entered the scene. Her father had brought the people of their village together sometimes, and they would discuss the problems of the citizens and solutions to these problems. The Cavalier Spaniel had always enjoyed listening in, and would sometimes engage in the conversation. Of course, her father never liked that all too much—he never even listened to her, really.

Still, she would find herself more comfortable during this gathering. It seemed to have a different atmosphere than what she was used to.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 500px][justify]she's open at this point for any kinds of threads,, basically this doesn't need to exclusively be for private threads, we can make open threads where patia and your character get accidentally glued (?) to one another, stuff like that

oh ohoh since hypatia IS bit of an elitist she might seem condescending which could fire up some fights and we can have that go public and a rivalry can arise from that for sure

so yeah, if you want to try out a cool themed thread (or au) id love to hear it!

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; text-transform: lowercase][justify]I believe there was a group based off of French nobility (Mansion of Versailles?) but correct me if there is actually a group currently like this.

So, I basically want to create a group around French aristocracy, but to be more specific I narrowed some of my ideas down into categories ...

ranks
> king/queen = leader
> duke/duchess = deputy
> marquis/marquess = assistant deputy, specializes in specific districts of warfare/politics/medicine
• viscount/viscountess = lower than a marquis, but higher than a baron, they work under a marquis, in a specific district of specialization (warfare/politics/medicine)
> baron/baroness = semi-hp, the defensive force, basically a cavalier

> bourgeois = non-hps, they are still properly titled sir/madame/citizen, within this group are
• nobles = relatives of hps, have no authority over anyone but some are still pretty obnoxious about this title
• citizens = fully trained/adult members
• apprentice = apprentice
• children = members below 6 months

customs
> refer to each other by name and title, for example, if someone with the name anastasia is a duchess, she would be called duchess Anastasia, or a marquis named adrian would be marquis adrian, stuff like that
> if a member commits a crime, the high positions will gather and discuss punishment. this can vary from janitorial services to decapitation (a la guillotine)
> there's a lot of reference to the french language in the group, a population of the group actually speaks french but for the most part speak english. most names are french or old english names
> every member born into the group begins with one name, once they become adults they receive a second name (if a character joins and has a warrior name they'll just receive a middle/last name or can refuse this all together). if a character is promoted to a baron or if they are a noble, they will receive a third name (ex: anastasia marie yves) viscounts have four names, marquis have five, dukes have six, and the king/queen will have seven
> jewelry and accessories are popular amongst men, women, and all others
**obviously not everyone will want to follow these and they aren't mandatory, but meant to provide some difference from other groups

i think that if this group were to actually be put into action/ever get popular, it would have to remain unofficial because of its demanding theme, just to mention. if it were unofficial, i think a system where royals marry royals only/arranged marriages could be implemented by consent of the rpers

as for territory ideas?? i was thinking like monuments of france but downsized and also overgrown with like moss and kudzu?? so like the arc de triomph but like kinda sinking into the ground, the chateau of versaille being the camp? set in maybe a swampy area?

this is basically the plan i have so far but?? i really like it tbh, maybe some of u guys do too?

i love THIS !!
i wanted to make a family for so,, long,,
the last name should probably follow a theme of whatever style the family has so like
if the family is going to have french/greek/etc influences it should probably be of the same origin
but still, like, i would love to help w this

- baptiste
- lafontaine
- rousseau
- la croix/croix

those are just some things i can think of
pre-revolution french people often had extensive names, espesically the higher class ones
+ what if they like had arranged marriages, marrying within their family but not between siblings but marrying cousins and such? and if someone were to marry out of the family it would have to be someone of high rank?? it would make them seem greedy/elitists which would be hilarious

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 500px][justify]aaaaa ive been inactive !!no!!
hi to everyone old and new !! im back and better than ever !!

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 500px][justify]aaa sorry this was late but /yes/
hypatia was supposed to be leader of her tribe/village but her little brother (npc) took over her spot so she's very questioning of authority and such !! she might see yuuma and be like hmm okay sureee

maybe he could order her to do something (hunt/train/patrol) and she'll like get all dramatic and be like excuse me and it could escalate to some sort of bickering in an open thread if that sounds right?

[justify][sub]Her breath hitched the moment the smell of SkyClan filled her nostrils. The rosey colored tabby knew this place, almost barely, but she knew the stench that went along with it ... it'd been a smell she'd known as well as her mother's scent. The territory of SkyClan carried something in it's breeze that was familiar, a breeze that had blown through her own father's pelt. It had been just that. Her mother, a gentle loner by the name of Mitzi, and her father, a SkyClan warrior. That was how she'd been given her own Clan name, Neritekit—to please her father. Legend from her mother claimed that her father, whom had always been unnamed to her, had been killed in a battle right before she was born. Her mother hadn't been in good shape, and lost all but one in her litter—and that was her, Neritekit.

The eight moon old didn't come to her estranged father's birth Clan in search of answers, but to fulfill what she was born to do, become a Clan cat and train until she became a warrior. It was a destiny written in her name, her mother had said. Not too long ago, Mitzi had died ... and that's when she felt it was right to pursue her mother's wishes. So, the apprentice aged Neritekit made her way, closer and closer to the forest, as if it beckoned her. The young tabby was frail, skinny and famished, her fur dirtied with burrs she could not reach—she appeared kitten like in the most terrible of ways, little and thin, fragile. However, she was anything but, having had to survive for almost half a moon on her own, the half kin she-cat was already getting somewhere with her training, albeit not the most organized tactics.

Still, Neritekit anticipated her future—she wondered what her mentor would be like, she wondered what the other apprentices would be like (like how her mother had described?), what the first face that met her upon the border would look like, what would they say, and would they even allow her to join?

im gonna def join,, should i join the fam as just a rando unrelated member that is already in the family?? bc then if my character is "unrelated" there would be space for arranged marriages between her and whoever is free and then i guess they can start popping out kiddos yikes

but yeah! the goal could be like to infiltrate each clan with their "breed", thus accumulating more money and wealth?

the family could be a patriarchy/matriarchy or neither, but i think there would definitely be a head of the family, and whomever they were married to would be the heir, but if they weren't married or the spouse died, their children would be the heirs? basically how a monarchy works

yesyesyes power duo
they could be "married" i guess in the way that all they need to do is keep producing babies and keeping everyone else in line

they could also totally just cut the heads off of the people they don't like/that betray them
im gonna create my character real quick and track w her !! she's gonna be single so she'd be up for marriage but i think im gonna have her be a lil rebellious and sleep around just to get everyone bothered with her

yeah the angelic thing is gooood !! they're all so demented and think they're better than those out of the family and that's why they want to spread their lineage and conquer so that everyone else will be saved from the devil or something?

aaa yes i could totally work that into my character as i don't really have an idea for appearance just yet so having that loose drape over her appearance would be great

yolo why not ill have her be a head w lil archie
where are we planning to have them settle? should we focus them in one clan in the beginning and then maybe branch them out to other groups when other generations come along?

[justify][sub]A loud huff of amusement would escape Neritekit's mouth as the new face gave her a proposition. Either give a good reason or get out of my sight. It was fair enough, some cats wouldn't like others on their turf period, most would give you a good swipe on the nose. But it seemed, that in this SkyClanner's current state, she was more bark than bite. Her attention was caught by the blind warrior that approached second, whom she narrowed her eyes at somewhat. "I can fight good!" Neritekit grunted, shaking her head for a moment before glancing back at Foxdancer. "I didn't come to fight though ... I want to join. My father was a warrior of SkyClan, he named me Neritekit." That name of hers didn't fit all too well, despite how malnourished she was, she definitely didn't look like no kit.

After her declaration, she would purse her lips and wait, unsure of the reaction of the two SkyClanners. Perhaps they would allow her in, and then she would feel complete. Nothing would be able to take her away from SkyClan, and nothing would stop her pursuits of the warrior code and the distant StarClan.
(That would be awesome, sure!)
