Ahhh, guys the idea was for me to write the general setting and have the rest of you guys do the main stories. :< But oh well, I guess I could do a bit extra. Although TBH I'm not done yet, but I will be soon. Probably by the end of tonight you guys could figure out a good place for your character in the world.
and let the users do the plot, characters, specific settings, etc.
I have contributed a character and I am fine with anyone using it in their settings or stories, as long as they contact me first. I'd suggest using him as a messenger maybe?
I'M WORKING ON IT. DW GUYS. ; _ ;
I could write more, but then I'd make all of the girls my sex slaves, and it'd turn into erotica. It'd be great erotica, though, but that's not the intent of the project.
The POV I am going to write, is about a man named Stephen. He was so poor, his family couldn't afford to do the paper work that would register him into their family, so he has no last name. He renounced his name and became a member of the Namless, an Assassin Guild. He was born in the upper most part of Coleross, which is a bunch of independent fishing villages. It is so far North, nobody wants it. The island is named Kad'yak. All natives of Kad'yak have white to grey hair, because of the sun's beating rays.
Nameless members believe in the Silease. The Silease is what they believe creates your inner most self. They are Nameless, in order to show their Silease and believe that is why they are so skilled. They must never take a name, or their Silease will fade and they will become weak.
Now to begin:
"Hey, you!", said a group of vagabonds at the other end of the alley I was walking through. "Hey dick nose, I'm a person" said I. The blank stare on their faces showed that they were surprised to see a Kadyon being anything less then fearful. "uhh, give us your sweet roll?", demanded the vagabond leader. The look on his face annoyed me, it looked of self-righteous-ness. The priests that came to Noach when I was a child had the same face, I didn't like them. When he approached me, I tossed it in the air. He was so easily fooled, because when he looked to catch it, I smacked him across the face with a brick. His blood on my new improvised weapon gave it a nice . . . intimidating look. I then quickly threw it at another vagabond and knocked him out instantly. The others began to run, but they were no match for a Kadyon. You can't escape the sheals if you don't have a strong endurance. I quickly took down one-by-one, their disorganization couldn't have been more flawless. After the last one fell to my brick, the first one to fall, the one who was knocked out, woke up. He then asked "Why do you hate us?". I replied "It's only business, the Nameless are forbidden to leave witnesses". The horrifying look on his face went away quickly, thanks to my brick.
2 WEEKS LATER:
The guild hall seemed, refurbished. It was nice, but nice things tend to get broken easily when you are in the assassination business. The velour on the couch had a weird smell to it, it clearly smelled of the Ocean. The thought made me smile, because that had mean't that we had smuggled it in. I enjoy taking the Empire down a notch. Everyone does really, the new King is kind of a tool, and I like to help make their jobs as difficult as possible. As I walked into the courtyard, I could hear our leader giving a speech to the younglings. He was trying to boost their moral by telling them about how much of a difference the fear of the Nameless has caused on the world. It's all BS really, the world doesn't fear us. We haven't had a big job in years. Nobody has tried to assassinate anyone important since the new "Lord Sen" arrived. They all fear him and that creepy bitch he keeps with him.
Lord Sen is an excellent fighter and all, but he used to be one of us. He may not have been a formal member, but he was one of us. Only someone without a name, could ever feel what we feel. Then he took a name and everything changed. Names always change a man. That's why we are required to have a different alias for every job. Without a name, only our Silease remains. That is why I believe he should be hated, not feared. He once had a Silease and that is what made him strong, but now his Silease is hidden and he is weak.
The thought of Lord Sen, put me into a trance. The thought of killing him and restoring the Guild to its former glory. The joy was overwhelming me, but I knew that it was most likely impossible. The Lord might not be the fighter he used to be, but he still knows how to protect himself. I also can only use improvised weaponry, I never learned how to wield a sword and my knife would surely lose to his sword. The thought was nice though, it distracted me from the chanting younglings, why are they annoying.
4 Sumas 4 - 18 Sumas 4 Of EOSLR
Clarification-- The date is in a dd/mm/yy fashion. The beginning of the POV was on the 4th day of the month Sumas, which is the 10th month. It is 4 years into the Era of Senseless Rule. EoSLR pronounced ee-o-slur. Oh, and a Sheal is a Shark Seal. They are extremely fast and ferocious, but make a cute seal noise.
EDIT: I'm planning on my character being a part of one of the assassination plots. @Sen If you would like to coordinate the story a little together, I would be down. I have an interesting idea, but would like to tell you in a PM, if you're interested. I don't want to spoil it for everyone.
Lycan, do you want your character to be a tracker for the Nameless. Not a part of them, but someone they contact when they need help finding a target?
EDIT: @Sen I'm not saying your character is actually weak, it is just what mine believes. Just wanted to clarify that, before there was a problem, if there was going to be one.
@BboyNoblesse No, My character does not deal with assasination and does not support it. If anything, he would help a "target" escape, if he does not think the target is someone worth sparing. Basically he would do what he can with the information and contacts he has to save everyone from being assasinated unless they're very very evil.
I'll be updating the OP with proper g-doc links soon. Soon...
Oodel, leader of the Stray Dogs (Later known as Wolf Pack) bandits. I could work with this.
Pronounced "ko-ler-leh-rohs".
Any way, I've been lurking, and it seems like there have been many joke edits on the official wiki about certain users being founders of certain houses in the A Song of Ice and Fire universe. So I thought, why not write our own story about a fantastical land ruled by feudal lords? Don't like it? Too fucking bad I'm gonna do it any way.
My plan is to write the primary setting, and let the users do the plot, characters, specific settings, etc. The thing would probably be a g-doc or some thing and any body would be able to submit stories. The restrictions on stories are light: all main characters must be based on CL users, no using another person's character if they don't allow it, stick to canon if the story is set before "present time", try to advance the plot, get character traits right, and use good spelling and grammar.
Maybe if it's really good, we could get it published! Xfd
You should use markdown if HTML isn't working for you.
[whatever you wanna say goes here](put your link here)
I find Markdown easier anyway, ahaha! :3
@Acostoss would it be possible for you to magical mod-edit the new OP's formatting syntax to BBCode? I just feel it's easier to use, and I'll be updating it regularly from now on, so.
Also the History part of General Info is done. And the rest of it is coming along nicely. Any suggestions for changes/additions?
@BboyNoblesse here is the link to Chapter 2 - A Respite in Kad'yak: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FabV3GfadnGrNJtAshktNWZiPS08P3PZMKIwzSleTPI/edit
Tell me if there need to be any changes before I format out the opening and closing parts and read it over the last time for grammar/spelling/continuity.
Also read the general info, but for sake of simplicity we'll be using English names for days of the week and months for now. We can decide on unique names later, if you guys want, though. Also, I think Sei-kon the First's rule should start some time in the Summer, since this was never specified in Sen's story. Any body else have objections?
@Noodle: That is an excellent idea.
I have started to write Chapter 1 - A Letter to Land's End. It will feature King Holland Chi of Hanjia and will hopefully be done tomorrow.
I know, but I'm kinda buttmad that editing doesn't allow you to edit your formatting syntax, though. This should be a feature. Countless times I've done some thing in BBCode and realized that my syntax was on "markdown" and had to delete the post/rewrite the whole thing in markdown, when it would have been just easier to flip a switch.
Alright, no response. Re-formatting OP to markdown. I'll be finishing it to actually give information about the project tomorrow, as well as wrapping up my chapter. @BboyNoblesse if you don't want to edit any thing by tomorrow, I'm going to actually proof-read it and post the link in the OP. I skimmed it over and woah, got some good things happening here.
@Chestnut_Rice I was actually tinkering around with it, but the usual method that I use appears to not be working. I'm not in a position to take a look at the code right now, so reformatting to Markdown may be your best bet right now.
Sorry!
I need to know how things looks in the current time in the story line and how things were different four years ago. This is where I will introduce Oodel.
Characters I am interested in using are @Lycan and @Sensei. At least for the moment.
I haven't read anything yet, but I will later today.
Lycan, four years ago, were your character still a messenger? I would like to use him as a
character to deliver Oodel's arrest warrant to him. Swords will clash, but there will be no casualties. Oh, except for your escort. Or do you perhaps only work alone?
I would like their future relationship to be friendly neutral, often crossing each others paths, having to clash in a semi friendly manner.
Is this ok?
Depending on how long Sen have been in his ruling position he will be mentioned in the introduction.
When I have read everything there is to know thus far I will know what place Oodel will have in this story.
Edit: Okay, I read @SENsei's introduction and at first it didn't make any SENse, but thinking about it, it couldn't have turned out any other way. A reckless, murdering samefag. I love it.
@Noodle Yes, he hass been traveling for many years now. Everything you proposed seem OK apart from the escort, he always travel alone.
Is Bboy's story actually 4 years in to the future? I'd suggest we'd take it a bit slower than that. There's a lot of things that could happen in 4 years... Mine is around maybe a month after the coronation of Sei-kon I. Which should be AL 423, some time in summer. Let's say, August 12th, for now? Is that alright with you? I don't really see any thing that references the 4 years in between in your story, so I'm just suggesting we compact the timeline.
@Acostoss, thanks for trying. ; A ;
@Noodle I think Lycan mentioned that he's just a messenger and doesn't really work for any body. Oh wait, never mind I re-read your post. Carry on.
Is the sudden change of rule official in the world?
Every body thinks that Sei-kon rightfully took his throne, nobody apart from a few at Land's End have seen what he /really/ looks like and what /really/ happened, and I assume they fear for their lives enough to not say any thing, so yea. Pretty much. I've already approved the ascension and I'll /assume/ that the other 5 Kingdoms have, as well.

I'm going to write a follow up, dunno when though, probably when I fucking feel like it.
what is this thread about
SEN said it has been 4 years since he took the throne and I'm planning on describing the first big assassination in the guild since Sei-kon took over.
