Forest Folk

Post by Papa Virgle » February 11th, 2021, 1:47 am

Faction

1. Have you read all of the prerequisites and considerations and do you agree to abide by them?
Yes

2. What is the name of your intended Faction?
Forest Folk

3. What is the expected or intended size of the Faction in terms of player characters?
No expectations

4. What is the expected or intended size of the Faction in terms of its’ lore concept, and/or including NPCs?
In concept Forest Folk would be a network of “country folks”

5. Roleplaying wise, how influential will the Faction strive to be? Will it tend to stick to itself and not make waves, or will it try and become a household name? How will the Faction accomplish this level (or lack thereof) of influence and reputation?
Forest Folk will be a loose network of “country folks” that operates on a nod and a handshake and the general good will of the Forest Folk towards one another and the “Balance”.
The Forest Folk will function inconspicuously, gathering for social and substance reasons without alerting outsiders. The Forest Folk may communicate with each other through “signs” left at designated spots or spontaneously along a trail, akin to Druidic signs/runes.
The main way Forest Folk will influence the political realm is through supporting factions that are aligned with the “Balance “ with resources.

6. Does the Faction have any unique colors, sigils, banners, or signage that uniquely identifies it? What is the significance of it?
Only the aforementioned Forest Folk signs which would be like Druidic sigils or Hobos Marks that others would not notice or understand.




1. What purpose, direction or goal does the Faction have in the world at large?
The purpose of Forest Kin is to strengthen each other, the “Balance”, and those aligned or acting towards the strengthening of the Balance. The ending of the Torment is the number one over arching threat to the “Balance”.

2. What purpose, direction or goal does the Faction have within the quarantined First Province in particular?


The purpose of Forest Kin is to strengthen each other, the “Balance”, and those aligned or acting towards the strengthening of the Balance. The ending of the Torment is the number one over arching threat to the “Balance”.


3. Role-playing wise, what would the Faction seek to accomplish within the next six to twelve months? What are their immediate and long-term goals?

The purpose of Forest Kin is to strengthen each other, the “Balance”, and those aligned or acting towards the strengthening of the Balance. The ending of the Torment is the number one over arching threat to the “Balance”.
To this end individual growth and perfection of skills through cooperative efforts would be goal #1.
Seeking individuals or factions that are working in alignment with the Balance especially towards combating the Torment and assisting them with resources and other appropriate aid.
4. Is the Faction famous or infamous for anything in particular? Will it strive to be famous or infamous for anything in the near future?




1. Please provide the Discord handle of the intended Player Leader of this Faction that will serve to liaison with the Staff in the future:
VirgleHermit


2. Please provide a summary as to the out-of-character purpose of the Faction, what sort of role you feel it will fill in-game (trading guild, PVP, PVM, etc.), and what sort of player character you intend to attract and/or support with the Faction in general.

I’m inviting characters to join a Faction of Forest Folk, anyone interested in playing a character that’s inclined to enjoy the wilds more than towns is a good fit, “Country Folks” basically. This would be a network of characters like Rangers, Foresters, Herbalists, Herbal Doctors, Farmers, Hunters, Artisans, Crafters, Lumberjacks, Miners, Adventure Seekers...... anything YOU think fits. The faction would operate as an organic informal network attempting to go unnoticed by outsiders. Their goal is to strengthen Forest Folk individually, the Balance and those working in alignment with the Balance. Gatherings would attempt to go unnoticed by outsiders.




1. If you have anything additional you would like to publicly share with us, to include in-character write ups, descriptions, orgaknization structures or even custom logos and sigils, please provide them here:

The core reason for the “faction” would be the fraternal bond of those attuned to the wilds. The group would be mutually supporting. Hunting together (for animus and resources) gathering every two weeks (to roughly coincide with new and full moon irl) selecting a leader by popular vote at the seasonal gathering .... a new vote each season (to roughly coincide with equinox or solstice irl).
(The IG leadership could change every season according to group vote of those present at the campfire gathering but I would remain as the OOC leader/liaison for the faction.)
The meetings would follow a format I have used before .... partylike beginning then sharing around the fire what has happened since the last gathering (or farther in the past), things that need addressing currently and plans for the future. Followed by a group hunt
