RE: The Unbound - Ovidius - 06-14-2016
ovidius wants in.
As whatever sort of thief she can be
RE: The Unbound - Ashamin - 06-14-2016
Hooray @Ovidius! Our thieves are the Looters, so if she chose that as her primary she would start out as an Apprentice Looter (and she could try out for the Master Looter rank later when those open.) If she chose it as her secondary she'd be a trainee. I'll have a thread up for us soon so she can join IC. :)

Want to see what The Unbound is all about in practice, and see what they're up to now? Check out the new section in the bottom of the first post where you can find their threads to join or read! :)
RE: The Unbound - Ashamin - 07-06-2016
The Unbound is growing and will soon have its first meeting! Remember that if you're interested in joining you can just ask one of our members for a thread, and if you have any questions and want to learn more feel free to post here.
RE: The Unbound - Chaska - 07-06-2016
Dumb question....What are absolvers and artificers?
RE: The Unbound - Riven - 07-06-2016
Absolver = Seer rank
Artificer = Crafting rank
:)
Do you have skype? We have a group chat you can join if you want?
RE: The Unbound - Paradox - 07-15-2016
Interested, but unsure of a spot for my Paradox.
Is a scout a spy or a recruiter? and what exactly does "seer rank" mean?
RE: The Unbound - Ashamin - 07-15-2016
Hey @Paradox! Glad you're interested. :)
A scout is actually our name for characters under the age of 2, or foals. Kind of like a cub/girlscout. :P If you're a scout you can still pick disciplines to study but you aren't officially ranked, in line with site rules about characters having to be 2 to be considered "adults."
A Seer rank is a character that is a scholar and/or has an interest in or attempts to communicate with the Gods. They might try to learn about the history of helovia, The Unbound, other herds, the gods, etc. They might also be more religiously inclined but would not have to be. Ovidius chose the absolver rank because she's got a nack for remembering things and loves to learn; Ashamin was a former seer in a herd and is religious, so that fit him.
Please let me know if you have any more questions! :)
Edit: Since you asked about recruiters, pretty much everyone in The Unbound equally goes out to help with this effort!
RE: The Unbound - Paradox - 07-15-2016
My girl is in the threshold now with Seanan and two others from the Basin. So I was trying to get a feel for where she would fit best. ^_^
She doesn't have a good memory, so not sure seeker would suit her, though she's never battled before either...hmmm..she has a grudge in her that offers a very dark side though.
any ideas?
RE: The Unbound - Seanan - 07-15-2016
Would she be interested in being sneaky, healing, or crafting things? The big concern would be to eventually choose her primary role. Her secondary could be a passing interest, or just another path you think she might be pushed down over the course of life and such.
For example, Seanan is a Crusader primarily because historically he has primarily held leadership and defensive positions (pre-Helovia). However I also chose Practicioner at first because I just didn't think anything else fit. Now though I'm loving the choice because it's giving his character a lot of different ways to develop and it dove-tails nicely into his defender-protector mentality (not that he'll tell anyone that's a thing). XD
I think she might make a good Looter, who are people that put up riddles and try and steal things, basically XD Or maybe an Artificer? Maybe she likes to make physical things that last, even though her memory may not.
RE: The Unbound - Ashamin - 07-15-2016
Rien took the words out of my mouth. :) Another great thing about the Unbound is just because your character might not have done something before, doesn't mean they can't now. Since we're all about sharing knowledge here any member of the unbound would be willing to teach Paradox new things about their disciplines, including fighting (and spar teachers like myself can give you out of character tips, too.)
Along with stealing Looters also gather intelligence about the goings on, so if she likes to spy that could be good for her. And like Rien said, you wouldn't have to pick your secondary discipline right away, and if you chose one and found it wasn't for her at all or would be better suited as her secondary, you could always change.

RE: The Unbound - Seanan - 07-15-2016
Quick question Ashamin, and I'm posting it here for peoples' future reference- can we be promoted in both of our disciplines? For example, if someone were to put in a significant amount of time and IC effort could they become a master of two disciplines?
RE: The Unbound - Ashamin - 07-15-2016
Great question Rien! It's not something that had really been discussed before.
You can definitely get promoted to Master in your Primary and then from trainee to apprentice in your secondary, that was set up from the beginning. As far as being master in both I would think maybe not, just to give more people an opportunity to have ranks (and if we ever were to consider becoming more herd-like, you can only have one of those ranks at a time,) and to maintain the idea that you put more effort into your primary while maintaining an interest in your secondary.
That said, it's definitely an idea. Because of how this group runs I think it's something we should all discuss and decide together, either in character at the next meeting or out of character once we have a secret room. :)
RE: The Unbound - Paradox - 07-15-2016
okie dokie...
thanks guys! I'll keep all that in mind.
RE: The Unbound - Sali - 08-19-2016
Sali is joining the Unbound. I was thinking, apprentice Practitioner...trainee Looter? Is there anywhere else I need to post, cause I'm confused. xD
RE: The Unbound - Odd - 08-19-2016
Currently anyone can post in the updates and be added to your secret board ... hollar at me if you want it to be herd leader style where only ashamin can request someone be added. I doubt anyone is going to try and infiltrate ya'll, but just in case you want it :)
RE: The Unbound - Ashamin - 08-23-2016
Ok, thanks for the option Odd! I'll let you know if things change but the current system works for me.
@Sali go ahead and check out our secret room to see how you can get started!
