History
Kreiburgian Allenberg Crest (Minimized)
For countless centuries, House Kreiburg have been a prominent family within the Genevaud Mountain Range, serving in various political and advisory roles to those in power within the cantons. First founded by Diepold Kreiburg in 73AC, the Kreiburgs were known for tending to their pastures on the eastern edge of Allenberg. It was only when Diepold's children were old enough to work that the family started branching out, Hans-Gerold and Sigmund both taking on trades of their own. Sigmund earned the family a fair fortune however, digging up a fair sum of coin in the mines before his death. Hans-Gerold in the meantime took up the position of a herdsman like his father. Sigmund spent various years after his brother's death investing and using the fortune he had collected to buy his wife a jewelry store, or moreso having won the building in a game of cards.
The jewelers only spurred the family into further good fortune, as the money that came in from selling large amounts of handmade trinkets and the likes was what paid for various luxuries for the family, such as the Kreiburg Townhouse in Allenberg that some of the family upkeep to this day. Future generations following Sigmund and his wife have been known to work between the mercenary trade and the jewelers, though many broke off as with such financial backing it was easier to get into other trades and if such failed they had something to fall back on. The family acquired the Langenburg, a sturdy castle in the mountains overlooking Allenberg and won the Allenberg Cantonal Election, effectively leading the Canton for the decades to come. During this time the Kreiburgs sought to better establish themselves politically, sealing alliances with many Cantonal families through marriage. Many moved onto scholarly and diplomatic pursuits and nothing overly notable came of the family until Frederich Kreiburg stood against the invasion of Genevaud Mountain Range on all sides, leading forces against outside influences that sought to taint the isolated people of Genevaud. As such, the Emperor at the time, Allestrain I ordered that the Cantons be integrated as a Lordship of its own in order to stop such an invasion happening again and he had the invaders return to their respective homes.
More recently, House Kreiburg has gained nobility within the Regalian Empire and is now led by Theopold Kreiburg; 1st Duke of Langthal.

The Origins of House Kreiburg
Physical Attributes
Many Kreiburgs share their looks, most notably a muddy brown or dirty blonde hair; telling of their Genevaud roots. The faces of the males have been known to be rough and often the men wear heavy beards, on occasion there have been men on the larger side of the family known for boasting jolly personalities and chubby red cheeks that perfectly accompany their smiles. The brows of many males within the family are prominent, causing an almost constant neutral look. Males tend to stand between 5'7 and 6'2 with the exception of some of the fatter males who've managed to shrink below the 5'7 standard. Kreiburgs have been known to boast a body shape between toned and muscular whilst retaining low to moderate body fat.
With regards to the facial structure of many females of the family they're found to be much more chiselled, often having little to no fat about their jaws or cheek bones. They boast mostly unblemished skin, very few retaining beauty marks but other than that they're pretty plain. Women within the family tend to stand between 5'3 and 5'10 and often boast a body shape between slim and toned whilst retaining average to moderate body fat.

OOC Rules
- Your Kreiburg character is expected to be your main character. Meaning they should be played at least half the amount of time you choose to roleplay on the server.
- We expect Kreiburg characters to be played true to their culture and the family's lore and personality. While a vampire arc for your character is okay given the roleplay circumstances, they shouldn't aspire to be infected, for example.
- As House Kreiburg is a noble family, you are expected to hold yourself as a sensible and mature member of the community. Following server rules is very important in House Kreiburg and we expect our players not to pick fights with other players OOCly or discourage the community.
- While respecting the family head and elders ICly is expected, we are not tolerable to players who play a Kreiburg just to change the family and undermine its OOC leadership. Please bear this in mind when designing your character.
- Finally, House Kreiburg is a very actively involved family. We expect all Kreiburgs to have a place in roleplay they look to further develop and trailblaze. The Knight community, the City Guard, the mercenaries, the military, running a tavern business or jewelry shop, being involved in the Church. Every Kreiburg character should have a place that is unique to them and should aim to create roleplay in that position. You should never be bored when playing your Kreiburg or be waiting around for something to happen. Make it happen. That's our policy.
Application
Example shown below -
IGN: Vivamente.
Chosen Character: Sigvard Kreiburg.
Character Concept: An older gentleman designed with the intention to involve the family in Military RP by way of Field Command. Sigvard is intended to be a jolly character, perhaps the best comparison for many people would be Iroh from ATLA; a character intent on making peace rather than war regardless of his combat and military prowess.
RP Weakness: Political & Small Talk RP.
RP Strengths: Combat & Noble Etiquette RP.
References: (Insert player names).
Reason for Applying: To take a step back from roleplay that I'm used to and relaxing a little more as a background character.
