About the "minor sect," I was kind of thinking that they'd still be CONNECTED to the Blue Daughters, just...slightly different. It's like the difference between a Roman Catholic church in the American deep south, and a Roman Catholic church in Vatican City. Similar enough (in terms of religion) not to be separated, but different enough that someone could notice but not think too much of it.
As for advisers, if that's the case, then I'll finalize on Blue Daughters, Guild of Tutelage (But MOOOOOOM!), and Breath of Winter. She's in favor of the Questing Blades, but knows they tend to be aggressive, in counterpoint to her goal of holding it together until she can get out (IF she can get out); she's trying to keep on the good side of the Caravan, using the Xueran family name as a sort of defense; and she sympathizes with the Redemptive Reflection, although not in public.

Well, by that example you requesting an advisor from the Blue Daughters would have to go through 'The Vatican' so to speak, and it is up to the 'Pope and Cardinals' to pick your advisor taking your situation, as best they understand it, into account.
Also feel free to come up with stuff on your family. It will save me the work. Just don't go into detail on the your mother's lineage. I have plans in that area.

Huh. Okay, that's fair. On the other hand (and yes, I know I'm reaching), if she's going to be travelling from Cragspur to Magikarp Pass anyway, then what is it if she takes one more person with her? Why make someone travel more than they have to? Eh, whatever. In the end, Akileija'll either have one of the Elder Daughter's disciples with her, or she'll write home to her every so often.
Also, the only thing I have for her mother in terms of backstory was that Cragspur's inheritance is patrilineal, and her mother came from *insert other kingdom here*. Oh, and she doesn't like Akileija much. I'll hammer out some stuff for her family.

The Black Knights...? Oh, you little -
Also, I think I'm misunderstanding. Was Kasmir caught sleeping with Akileija's mother, or what? Because if so, I just... linking her mother to the Black Knights already tilts her towards the puppy-kicking end of the scale, and adding adultery into the mix gets very "ehn." Her mother was not supposed to be evil, just desperate for a "proper" daughter and exasperated as all hell. Sure, I can see her distancing herself from her family but still having her old knowledge of discipline, but... I know this is probably a lead-in to a "Luke, I am your father" moment from Kasmir, but I have to say it feels wrong.
On the other hand, if you want to keep it mostly similar, I was already planning on having the younger of Akileija's brothers be gay (remember that blush when her father talked about "duties?" Fortunately, their eldest brother makes a better heir), so maybe Kasmir is either gay or bi, slept with younger bro, and mother threw him out here to avoid a scandal.

I'm thinking your mother was desperate for a proper daughter *because* she didn't want her to turn out like some of the women in *her* family. And we can swap Kas to her younger brother if you want. I meant he was sleeping with her older one.

Ohhhh, okay, I get it now. All the issues I had came from the misunderstanding, so no worries.
Also, yeah, I would prefer we swap for the younger brother - there's a little bit of backstory that I'm going to go into, after I take care of the IRL shitstorm that's shown up.

Right, sorry! Shitstorm took a little longer to settle than I thought it would. Akileija's first post is up.

Kiwi, are you still alive? Its going to be a week, give or take, before I have the mechanical stuff ready, so you can do a few more RP posts as well.

Oh dear. Like I said, I'm cursed - I appear to have killed off Kiwi without actually doing anything.

I'll give him until about this time on Tuesday to post. His profile seems glitched, and I can't tell when he was last online.

Well, looking at his "recent posts," he was on (or at least making a post) yesterday at...3PM, my time. Hm.

Okay, cool! Akileija was doing a little investigation into who she's been saddled with, so I think our illustrious GM might have wanted to confirm you weren't going to die on us.

Okay, so my weekend turned out a little busier than I expected. But I want to reassure you guys that I am not the type to just get bored or abandon a game without saying anything. If you ever see me posting elsewhere but not here, it's only when I have limited time and try to prioritize games that are currently in combat, so less people have to wait on me. I don't work today, though, and will definitely have time for some IC posting!

Can we try to have our IC crunch stuff done by Sunday Morning, say 10:00am PST? I'd like to get the game going properly next Monday or Tuesday.

Hrm. I'd like to, but I don't know that I'll be able to. I'm going to be away from my computer this weekend and Monday, and I've got a LOT of shit going down between now and Friday. I'd love to get started, but this appears to be the Week of Everything Going Wrong.

I'm mostly done with Kota's crunch, just waffling a bit on two of his Pokemon. I thought Gurdurr would be a fun thematic fit for someone who oversees a lot of large-scale construction projects, but surprisingly enough for a 'mon that carries around an I-beam, it can't learn a single Steel move. Not sure what Pokemon I'd replace it with yet, though... (open to suggestions!) Meanwhile Luxray was my initial choice for a Zapper 'mon, since it'd eventually have the super-cool X-ray Vision (and seems kind of appropriate for a royal?). But now I'm kind of leaning towards Klink instead...

I'd love to get started, but this appears to be the Week of Everything Going Wrong. To get started, All I'll need is your skills so we can move on to the point where you may be making checks, and any feats/edges that may require specific gear so I can figure out what artifacts the orders you aligned with will be giving you. You think you could get me that at least?

I can try, but I make no promises. As it stands, I'm thinking about using Command, Athletics, and Combat as my main skills (Command for Herald of Pride, Athletics for Rider, Combat for other things), probably letting Guile, Stealth (although I don't much like dumping it, I have to dump SOMETHING) and Tech Edu go to Pathetic, and using any extraneous edges for Intuition or Perception, or even Focus. AFAIK, the only thing she NEEDS for a class is a sword, and she's got one of those already - rather likes it, too. I mean, you COULD give her a fancy sword, but the one she has is hers - not some old knight's sword, just an ordinary sword one of her teachers gave her after she finally got out from under her mother.
