Family Lore Summary: Viewed by some as the embodiment of Alt-Regalian Calemberger culture, the House Typhonus, while relatively young, is a name to be heard within the Regalian Archipelago. Finding its start with the conquests of Niven Typhonus, the House Typhonus was, and has always been, a family that makes their name from glory in war. Irrelevant in its early years, and serving as titleless regional governors in a small section of the Calemberg, the family made a rapid rise to prominence after the collapse of the House Cadar, seizing many of the defunct Great House’s old lands and assets in their rise to prominence. The Family grew in power through various strategic marriages, land conquests, and successful wartime campaigns, amassing extreme wealth and reputable prestige in various aristocratic circles. Today, the House Typhonus stands as one of the Realm’s political superpowers, ruling over the sprawling Aristocratic Realm of Calemberg, all while still being found on the front lines of the Empire’s Armed Forces. Family Overview: Through decades of successful battles, wartime campaigns, and fervent service to the Great Way of Unionism, the House Typhonus is established as a powerful name in both Regalian political affairs and in the ranks of the Imperial Armed Forces. Priding themselves in political finesse and military strength, the House Typhonus, like most Alt-Regalian aristocratic Houses, is a strongly patriarchal family, being run almost militaristically by its patriarch. Currently headed by Elros Alarick Typhonus as a Regent, the House strictly retains a rigidly conservative social agenda, looking down upon non-humans and non-believers of Unionism, and hailing the Emperor’s word above all else. Given the House’s strong ties to the military, it is no surprise to see the various members scattered throughout the various sects of the Regalian forces. It’s often said that one can never pass through the Regalian Marshalry or Admirality without encountering at least one Typhonus, giving the House has a very strong influence in the actions of the armed forces. The family is unique in the regard that it allows the women of the House to receive a military education, in stark contrast to other houses who tend to follow the ideal that women are simply housewives. The common belief within the House is that, if one is willing to sacrifice all for their Holy Empire on the field of battle, they should not be restricted. As such, Typhonus women can often be found filling military roles around the Realm, from serving as refined tacticians, to charging the enemy as skilled bladeswomen. However, not all women choose a military path to follow, and not all are expected to. Female Typhonus play a key role in politics as well, often becoming members of the Imperial Court, hosting tea circles to hone in on the latest gossip, and some have even been known to seek positions in the Imperial Bureaucracy (however it should be noted that a female Typhonus with direct political power is unheard of). Typhonus that either retire from military service, or never enter the service (much to the disdain of their kinsmen), often take up positions within Imperial Government, serving as Justicars, Clerks of the Bureaucracy, or Finance Ministers. Very rarely, few have even been known to take up the cloth, becoming Reverends within the Sancella of Union. The overwhelming majority of the House Typhonus’ wealth spurs from pelt sales, taxes, and the spoils of war. Calemberg’s forests yield a large selection of uncommon fauna, sustaining a large and thriving pelt industry throughout the Lordship. Through the shadowy dealings of Gerhard III Typhonus, the House came into direct control of various Calemberger pelt industries, funneling a mass amount of wealth into the family coffers. Otherwise, the House has also been notorious for strategically taxing the urban centres of their Lordship, raising and lowering tax amounts based on status. While the reign of Ulric Typhonus has seen this practice scaled back slightly, it is nonetheless assumed that the Typhonus make a fortune from taxes each year. The House has also been known to profit from the Realm’s warmongering, earning prestige from successful battles, but also gaining material wealth through the razing and looting of foreign territories, Typhonus soldiers often returning with foreign currency and stolen valuable objects to Calemberg to be bought and sold. In-Depth History: Spoiler: Ancient Family History The earliest members of the House Typhonus are not recorded anywhere, as most in that time served as sellswords, farmers, or simple levy soldiers, scattered about the forested Lordship of Calemberg, too unremarkable to take note of. The First Typhonus to reach a point of prominence was Aldrich I Konradin Typhonus, who worked his way up through the ranks of the Regalian Marshalry to eventually become a prominent Marshal and a personal adjutant to the Lady of Calemberg, Melissandre Cadar. He participated in various military conflicts related to the final stage of the unification of the Regalian Archipelago in 170 AC and was charged with acting as something of a regional governor, administering the levies in a small section of hamlets and small cities in eastern Calemberg in the name of the House Cadar. However, Aldrich I was never granted a title, had very little influence in setting the tone for future generations, and was inevitably overshadowed by the actions of his first son, Niven. Niven Alarick Typhonus, despite Aldrich’s minor prominence, is widely considered to be the founder of the family. Niven was largely independent from his father’s work as a Marshal, becoming a respected sellsword in his own right, participating in various irrelevant conflicts, and chasing bounties across the region. His actions took an abrupt turn with the death of Melissandre Cadar. Having no legitimate heirs to replace the late Lady of Calemberg, a drastic succession crisis erupted across Calemberg, fracturing the Lordship into several counties. Niven himself rallied several of his fellow sellswords along with a few mercenary companies to form a petty army that he himself called “The Gray Company.” He and his rag-tag band rode into the City of Calemberg, capital of the Lordship and one of the most dense and sprawling cities in the Archipel, and occupied it in 198 AC, largely without opposition. Claiming that his strength was his right, he petitioned Emperor Handorien I for recognition as the Count of Calemberg. The Emperor, either believing him or simply not caring enough to deal with him, granted Niven his title, thus elevating the House Typhonus into the ranks of aristocracy. Niven’s tenure as Count was relatively uneventful, although the House did participate in quelling various baronial rebellions and fought in the brief war with the Nordskag Kingdom, where the House commanded line soldiers from their county. Injured during a key battle and confined to his bed, Niven passed his title off to his son, Gerhard III Erhardt Typhonus in 219 AC. Gerhard was more analytical and politically attuned than his father had been, and while still considering himself a man of the military, was able to make greater strides in the area of diplomacy and political powerplays than his father had been able to do. His reign as Count was characterized by several strategic marriages and contracts with the Houses Autenburg and Bachmeier, minor houses who controlled the neighboring counties. Using his prowess, he was able to absorb the lands of the two Houses, elevating him to the title of “Duke of Calemberg.” However popular he may have been at the time, however, he also became notorious for systematically blackmailing and then absorbing smaller pelt industries, which while remaining mostly private, began funneling their profits into Typhonus coffers, creating what Gerhard’s critics labeled “the Typhonus pelt conglomerate,” a monstrous boon to the family’s wealth and assets. Gerhard participated in the Realm’s wars during his reign as a Field Commander, witnessing the embarrassing failures against Arvost, Torse, and Arlora brought about by the Realm’s brief bankruptcy. The losses and economic downturn caused brief discontent in the Duchy, but the feelings were eventually quelled by the bloody response to other uprisings in the Archipel. Gerhard III died suddenly in 278 AC, but the political framework he left behind made it much easier for his son and successor, Hadrian Diederich Typhonus, to continue his work. Hadrian’s early reign saw great prosperity for the House Typhonus, despite the lack of wars being fought. A mere four years after gaining his father’s titles, Hadrian managed to coerce the last of the fringe counts to submit to Typhonus rule and unified the Lordship of Calemberg in 286 AC. With Emperor the assent of Emperor Justinian II, Hadrian ruled as the first Typhonus Archduke of Calemberg, earning him, and by extension the House, a large influence over Calemberger culture (which allowed him to build the framework which would later become the Calemberg Union), his tenure characterized by political grace and wisdom along with military strength. Hadrian participated in the Chrysant War, commanding the Typhonus Fleet aboard his flagship, the Adler II. While the war was a rousing success for both the House Typhonus’ ground levies and fleet, Hadrian was near fatally injured when Empress Miko Missa’s serpent terrors ripped through the Adler II. Spoiler: Recent Family History Left physically weak and confined to a cane, Hadrian passed his titles and duties off to Ulric Adelhard Typhonus in 291 AC, whilst Ulric was in his twenties. Ulric was regarded by his kinsmen as a military prodigy, but often joked that he had the diplomatic ability of a toad, largely a consequence of his unending military training forced upon him by his father. Despite this, Ulric’s early reign, much like his father’s, was largely uneventful, but prosperous due to the Golden Age brought about by the end of the Chrysant War. Ulric made the choice to move to the Crown Isle in order to rule more closely with the Imperial Government. Within two years of his arrival in the capital, Ulric was appointed as the Commander of the Violet Order, a position which he served for several years. He was eventually selected to serve on Emperor Justinian II’s State Council, the more streamlined successor to the Senate, and worked to create and debate laws and policies amongst the Empire’s best. During the days of Justinian II’s decline in health, Ulric sided with the Kade lobbyists, supporting the Kade Settlement that placed Alexander I on the Imperial Throne. Ulric then lead the armies of the Lordship of Calemberg in the Elven Subjugation War of 301 AC. Ulric made a handful of key victories, and a few defeats, before being interrupted by the Lo-Santorski invasion of his lands. Ulric and the Typhonus Family then proceeded to face horrific embarrassment as the superior Typhonus host was bested by the smaller Consortium army, albeit through the questionable use of magic. This displaced the House Typhonus for several weeks, before Freya Lo, matriarch of the House Lo, made a move on the capital. The Emperor acted swiftly, defeating Freya’s armies and executing Lenora Santorski, returning Calemberg to Typhonus control. Shortly afterwards, Ulric Typhonus succeeded Alejandro Anahera as Supreme Chancellor of the Realm, bringing about a new high in political power for the House Typhonus, even though Ulric himself acted as more of a passive Chancellor. The House Typhonus then participated in various wars against the Qadir Pashtallah and other Qadir states, Ulric losing the Chancellory due to capture and fear of Qadir legitimization, before winning it a second time after the war’s conclusion, only to retire later on due to increased political discontent and threats from the Ithanian political lobby. For a year or so House Typhonus organized and lead the Calemberg Union (a collective of Calemberg lords that acted as a cohesive unit in external politics), but the Union dissipated it after a poor diplomatic showing from House Drache, with Ulric Typhonus himself returning to the Holy City to ensure the continued success and proper reputation of House Typhonus be reflected. After a few weeks of political manuvering, it was discovered Ulric had a bastard son by the name of Elros of Turent, who was later legitimized and given Duke-Regency over House Typhonus, until Ulric's "proper" sons complete their training in Calemberg. Shortly thereafter, House Typhonus briefly merged with House Rote, gaining the Barony of Griptham before House Rote broke their oaths, and left the peerage. Under Elros' reign, an urgency was placed on members of House Typhonus to stay primarily in the Capital, with many cousins and mainline Typhonus swiftly taking up duties within the city. Unlike his predecessors, Elros led under a delegation based system, assigning some sort of authority over War, State, Finance, Court, and otherwise to different members of the family. In particular, and due to their outstanding performances in the Kathar War of 307 AC, Reimar and Klaus Typhonus would come to form a 3-man leadership alongside Elros (with Ulric still advising the trio) to command the disciplines of War and State respectively. Women of the House began making strides within the Imperial Court for first time in years, and even the farthest-removed cousins had the ability to take over control of finances, knightship, and otherwise. During this time, The Grey Company was reformed and broadened to include a Battalion for Reimar Typhonus to use in matters of War. On the whole, however, Elros' reign was met with resistance from the local lords, with grumblings of his liberal tendencies, including hiring a "Court Mage", haunting the Duke-Regent throughout his tenure. In present times, the House Typhonus, continues to retain its political and military influence, several members of the House Typhonus involved in both affairs within the Armed Forces, Imperial Court, and Imperial Government. They reside in the Countyside Castle, "Castle Altenburg", making frequent use of the dark forests on either side, the mountain range curving around the back of the Castle, and the lovely beach just steps from the doors themselves. Current Household: Spoiler: Family Household Positions Head of House: The Head of House is as implied, the head and leader of House Typhonus. They serve as an agenda setter for official political stances of the House as a whole. Meaning that while individual family members may have their own views, it is the head of the house that confirms the stances for the House as a whole. Current Head of House is Reimar Typhonus @ChapterDeath Grand Steward: The general ‘go to’ for the Head of the House regarding politics. They are the ones who attend and organize meetings for or on the behalf of the Head of House. Additionally they are expected to keep tabs on the political agenda of the various actors within the capital so as to give consul on future threats or moments of opportunity. @Battlebrawn Lady of the Court: The manager and overseer of the Household Staff and overall internal ‘Court’ of the House centered around the Typhonburg Estate. They are the ones who hire new housestaff, permit likeable individuals access to the estate, or ban troublesome guests from future events. This individual also usually takes up the responsibilities for fulfilling the social obligations of the House, ensuring that family members are kept up to date on the latest trends of the Capital, and organize events of their own on behalf of the House. @Nesstro Admiral: The go to commander of naval assets owned by the House. When the subject of deploying the Typhonus fleets comes up, it is usually this individual who is consulted on implementing such actions. @Natannine General: The go to commander of the army assets owned by the House. When the subject of deploying the Typhonus armies comes up, it is usually this individual who is consulted on implementing such actions. @ChapterDeath Familial Houseguard Overseer: The family member given the task of acting as the blood related overseer and manager of the House Guards. There may or may not be a separate Captain of the Houseguard, such usually being left to the discretion of this individual. Overall, they are expected to ensure that the Houseguard remains in combat shape. @WereNoodle Other less official and designated positions or roles exist. Usually these are case by case, based on tasks that might be handed out. Spoiler: Introduction to Family Politics With many individuals, multiple titles, and different ideologies, clarification to the internal politics of the family is something that will help explain some of the perceived chaos. The Patriarch and Head of House does have an absolute power over the family. Oftentimes in regards to avenue and political projects to pursue, they will be the one that sets the agenda to other members of the family. That being said, the exercise of this power is often far from absolute, despite that potential power being there. Individual members of the family, especially those that have their own titles, will often have their voices heard in semi-regular House wide meetings, or through requesting private discussions with the Patriarch. Notably however is that these meetings almost always stay behind closed doors all but family, and the most trusted non family Household advisors. Heading council and opinions, especially of titled House members, is a must for the Head of the House, because while they may hold a de-jure absolute power to act, it is the collective weight of titles that bring ultimate prosperity to the House. Internal conflict, if allowed to spiral out of control, could prove disastrous for all members of this House. The internal ‘Court of Calemberg’ that exists in the Typhonburg Estate of the Crown Isle can often be a place where balancing and debating different ideologies and forming plans of actions is extremely dynamic in its nature. Individuals will work for the common betterment of the House, while also jostling to stand out and claim personal honours and prestige. Common Ideologies: Especially so with this newest group of members of House Typhonus, there are a variety of different political views and ideologies that each individual may personally subscribe to. By no means is the House homogenous in thought and outlook. To generalize these however, there are three clear cut ideologies that will be listed below which can serve as a summary or overview for these ideas and beliefs. Old Guard Conservatives: The first amongst these can be considered the ‘Old Guard’ faction or the ‘Calemberg Conservative Movement’. Whatever name may be associated with it, the fundamental ideals and where they stem from are the same. This faction represents the traditional values associated with Calemberg and the New Regalian people that reside in it, as well as the upholding of their traditional lifestyles and customs. In addition to the upholding of these traditions, faith, discipline and honor are held to a high regard as they are in New Regalian cultures. Within Calemberg itself, it is the New Regalian People, the 14 Families, the Church, and even the Feudal Council where these ideologies may overlap, though with a much stronger emphasis on upholding and defending aristocratic institutions. Gender roles, for example, are clear cut in terms of the perceived roles of men and women within a household. Strong dedication and patronage to religious institutions, and upholding and acting in ways virtuous to the faith fit and tie in with overall honour codes that are held. The clear enemy is Ithania, and the Ithanian culture. They represent the quintessential cultural rival or enemy to the New Regalians, especially in the case of House Typhonus. Challenging and reducing the influence of Ithanian influence in the Capital and at Court is an ever standing goal. At times as well House von Drachenburg can be seen as a rival, in competing for cultural influence and trend setting amongst New Regalian culture as a whole. Members of this Old Guard would seek to outcompete their Waldmark neighbors wherever the competition may lay, be it in military honours, personal prestige, weight of titleage, or political influence, but the two families have often collaborated in recent times as well for the betterment of New Regalians. Liberal Movement: In recent days, championed by the younger members of the current generation of family members, a new sort of Liberal Movement has emerged which champions change and a shift away from the traditionally held focuses of the House. Many of these individuals have travelled in their youth, and spent time in the courts outside of Calemberg. The pursuit of courtly affairs, and the embracing of the ‘courtly life’, and other less traditional pursuits find a home amongst like minded individuals here. Recent discoveries pushed forward about the last days of Marianne Cadar have proven the catalyst to attempt and push forward changes and reforms within the House, and perhaps in due time Calemberg as a whole. With the reality of Marianne Cadar’s demise being emerged as a betrayal, debate has sparked once more about the traditional role of women, both amongst the New Regalian common folk but also the nobility. While the Military has held a place of near absolute prominence amongst the ideologies of the Old Guard and New Officer’s Movement, amongst those that subscribe to this more liberal ideology that place of absolute prominence is lowered. In this, being a ranking member of the Military should not inherently be a prerequisite for power of prestige. While there still is a role of the Military, in keeping with history, perhaps maintaining amongst the largest armies on the continent is not something that is not worth the costs associated with it. When instead, money can be put to funding other measures in terms of culture, history, and other arts. Foreign alliances, and building up friendships with other houses should more than supplement any reduction in military size. Competing to obtain high positions of influence and power in the State Government, but more importantly the Imperial and Gallovian courts are seen as a mark of prestige and accomplishment. Perhaps even the time has come for Calemberg to step forward as a true cultural trend setter in the Archipelago as a whole. This in turn ties in with the above. Political and social power can be as strong as, if not stronger than blunt military strength. New Militarists: Somewhat of an outlier from the other two ideologies, is this concept of the New Militarist movement. Above all, value is placed in the standing armed forces of the House, and military achievement of its members. In this sense, it is fairly similar to the traditional ideology that has governed the House for most of its time in the Crown Isle though the similarities stop there. Observations of events since the turn of the century have led some to conclude that the nature of the threats faced is becoming increasingly magical in nature. Traditional doctrines that may have secured victory and dominance in conflicts amongst the nobility, are becoming increasingly strained and inflexible when faced with foes who employ unorthodox and magically inclined tactics. Thus an exploration into all possibilities must be considered, even fighting fire with fire. Expanding to bring in skilled commoners and even women into the military fold is something that has also been done in the past, all supposedly justified with the moniker of changing times. On more social policies however, this group tends to align itself more with the Old Guard. This being a male priority for roles of leadership and management, as well as a general respect for the church and clergy. If one looks deeper however, one might see that this respect is only lip service where any belief could simply be dismissed if it affects the perceived path of ascension for the House. Differing from more extreme liberal reformists however is a general distrust of perceived foreign relations. Strength should be from within, and binding agreements of alliance with these foreign entities are something that is detrimental at best. It is why at times when it comes to courtly settings, they can be referred to as blunt, gruff or anti-social. General rules Your Typhonus character must be your main character or at least be consistently played alongside other characters. Members should be self-motivated. While we are attempting to become better at involving members of the family, college and work schedules sometimes may keep us busy with matters unrelated to family management. As such, members should have a decent ability to "make their own fun" in nobility. Members are expected to adhere to a simple code of conduct IC, save for intra-family drama. No Typhonus should deliberately tarnish the reputation of the House unless IC circumstances demand it. If you cannot handle TyrolleanEagle and/or LumosJared looking over your shoulder from time to time, this is not the House for you. ERP is strictly frowned upon in the House Typhonus. Yes, there is a reason. Yes, TyrolleanEagle will know if you do. Relevant Typhonus / Open Positions Link to the Family Tree (Note: The Family tree is a pain to update, and could therefor be outdated at any given time. Use only for tentative reference. At this point in time TyrolleanEagle estimates that it is woefully updated, but cannot be assed to remember how he made it in the first place.) The following characters are relevant in family lore or can be applied to be portrayed: Ulric Adelhard Typhonus (58): Ulric Typhonus is the former patriarch of the family. A brilliant strategist, distinguished general, war hero, able politician, and three-time Imperial Arch-Chancellor, Ulric has made quite a name for himself over the course of his time in Regalian politics. However, due to recent wounds and sustained disabilities, as well as an increase in personal stress, Ulric has retired to Calemburg, occasionally visiting the Capital to provide advice and council to the members of House Typhonus. Portrayed by @TyrolleanEagle Elros Alarick Typhonus (30): Elros Typhonus is the legitimized bastard of Ulric, and was recognized as Duke-Regent "until Aelderich or Jaecar come of age and complete their training and duties in Calemberg". Taking over from Ulric, he led the family through 306-308 AC, ultimately abdicating the Throne of Calemberg and putting it not in the place of Ulric’s trueborn sons, but in his cousin, Reimar. Born and raised in Turent, Anglia, at the School of Turall, he is an agile fighter and a roguish character. Before becoming Duke-Regent, he was a Bounty Hunter working in Old Town, and before that a Financial Minister and a small time player in the Lo Occupation. Elros, today, lives the life of the adventurer, sailing around the Archipelago with a small crew, though why is a mystery. He fights with two named weapons, "Lord" a Blacksteel Dagger from Louis Delmotte, and "Hunter", a Nightsilver, elven made shortsword with questionable origins. Elros likes to cook and tidy up around Typhonuburg, on the rare occasions he comes back to the Capital. Portrayed by @LumosJared Aelderich Gerhart Typhonus (26): Aelderich II Typhonus is the son and heir of the patriarch, Ulric Typhonus. Relatively young and in the process of completing his education in the Imperial Marshal’s Academy, Aelderich has very few accomplishments to his name as of right now, but shows promise as a general with the potential to live up to his father’s name, with hopes to modernize the Calemberger army. Born in the Holzburg Palace and raised by stewards with the influence of his grandfather, Aelderich currently is in the midst of the formal succession process, and will soon be taking his father's place as the new ruler of Calemberg and patriarch of the House Typhonus. This character can be applied for. Jaecar Sigwald Typhonus (25): Jaecar Typhonus is Ulric’s second eldest son and the first in line to the titles of House Typhonus while his brother, Aelderich, has no heirs. In no expectation of the patriarchy, Jaecar has pursued a more traditional military path, training to serve in the army of Calemberg as a cavalry uhlan and a frontline field commander. Jaecar, while militarily gifted and politically competent, tends to take after his father more in the sense that he is more reserved in conversation, but very quick to anger and prone to bullheadedness in tense situations. This character can be applied for. Riane Ivonne Typhonus (23): Riane Typhonus is youngest child of Ulric Typhonus, and his only daughter. While not in line for any form of political power due to her gender, in tune with her family’s philosophy on women in combat roles, Riane had made quite a name for herself on the battlefield. Riane currently heads a small all-female regiment of cavalry scouts, colloquially dubbed the “Hexenjägers” or the “Witch Hunters” in Common. Inheriting her father’s fiery disposition, Riane has proven herself as a skilled unit commander, and spends the majority of her time away with her unit on missions across Calemberg. In recent times, Riane was married off to Eldrich von Drachenburg in an arranged marriage to solidify an alliance between the two Houses. Riane currently resides with her husband in Drachenwald. This character can be applied for. Aleida Helene Lorraine Typhonus neé Bachmeier (57): Aleida Typhonus is the consort of the patriarch and the nominal Archduchess-Consort of Calemberg. A woman of strong Calemberger courtly etiquette, Aleida was born as a member of the House Bachmeier, a wealthy Calemberger family that retains decent influence in Calemberg. She was married to Ulric Typhonus in an arranged marriage at age eighteen, securing the Bachmeier family's place as close associates of the House Typhonus. Aleida, while loyal and loving to her husband, is also surprisingly politically independent, often working together with Ulric in political movements, and is known to be the patriarch's closest confidant. This character can be applied for. Thoron Reinhold Typhonus (55): Thoron Typhonus is the brother and sole sibling of Ulric Typhonus. In no expectation of political power, being the second born child, Thoron began his military education in the Viridian Order with the intent of becoming a Knight. Blessed with immense physical strength, Thoron quickly earned his keep, and began moving upwards through the ranks of the Order, before abruptly breaking with the Viridians over disputes with several Viridian Elders with regards to battle tactics and accusations of insubordination. Silent, stoic, and generally thought to be more bullheaded than even Ulric, Thoron currently serves as the titular "champion" of the House Typhonus, being widely regarded as one of the strongest members of the family, and most skilled in single combat. This character can be applied for. Theodon II Adalger Typhonus (66): Theodon II Typhonus is the son of Gerhard III Typhonus, and the uncle of the patriarch being his father's middle sibling. Theodon is a skilled sailor, and an Admiral of the Imperial Fleet. Theodon is the direct overseer of the Typhonus battle fleet and commerce fleet, and wields considerable influence over the ports of Calemberg. Easygoing and more relaxed compared to other Typhonus, Theodon is a well-traveled man thanks to his time with the fleet, and enjoys telling stories about his experience in battle, and in foreign lands. In times of peace, Theodon is known to build lasting relationships with nobles and commoners alike, enjoying compelling conversation over a nice Calemberg stout. This character can be applied for. Albrecht Volkhardt Typhonus (51): Albrecht Volkhardt Typhonus is the firstborn child of Admiral Theodon Typhonus and a cousin of Ulric Typhonus. Trained in martial ability as most male Typhonus are, Albrecht distinguished himself during his time with the “Calemberg Jägers,” one of Calemberg’s top scouting units. Thus began Albrechtt’s descent into the world of Regalian subterfuge, making Albrecht one of the House Typhonus’ most valuable assets in terms of intelligence and military espionage, and family security. Having gained the personal attention of his cousin the patriarch, Albrecht is now charged with ensuring that the Typhonus family remains one step ahead of those who would see it fall, and ridding the House of any troublesome individuals. This character can be applied for. Rudolph Walten Typhonus (33): Rudolph Typhonus is the last son of Theodon II and cousin of the patriarch. Rudolph, while once serving as a skilled and charismatic tactician, abandoned his work in the military to meet the need for a family economist. While publicly the Director of the West Calemberg Pelt & Fur Company (more commonly called "Typhonus Pelt Production"), Rudolph also secretly maintains the network of Typhonus-controlled pelt companies collectively coined "the Typhonus Pelt Conglomerate." Being directly responsible for the family's primary source of income, Rudolph has, by default, become the manager of the family's coffers, and has a strong influence over Calemberg's tax and finance offices. Rudolph relies on his charisma and wit to get ahead in the Empire. This character can be applied for. Laurenz Frederick-Augustus Typhonus (68): Laurenz Typhonus is son of Johann Typhonus, grandson of Niven Typhonus, and a distant cousin of the patriarch. Within the family, Laurenz is celebrated for his long and successful career within the Viridian Order, retiring from service as a Viridian Paladin. He has since become one of the few Typhonus to take up the cloth and become a clergyman of the Sancella of Union. Working his way up through the ecclesiastical hierarchy through rigorous piety and a sharp mind, he is currently the Reverend of Greater Calemberg, holding his Holy Seat in the City of Calemberg within the massive Calemberger Dom Cathedral, a cathedral dwarfing even the Imperial Cathedral in Regalia. While Laurenz is deeply devoted to the teachings of the Holy Emperors, and to the cause of the Sancella of Unionism, he remains fiercely loyal to his blood and kin in the Typhonus family. Laurenz's theological opinion rests somewhere between the Themai of Thal and the Themai of Elene. This character can be applied for. Reimar Emmerich Typhonus (25): Reimar is the youngest of the four children of Albrecht Typhonus and Josephine Typhonus nee von Lyon, his father a cousin to Ulric. He filled a more traditional role often associated with the family, by attending the School of Marsharly for the General command discipline from 297 to 307. Upon graduating, he united with his family present in the capital at the time and Marshal Cabinet during the late spring and early summer of that same year. It’s here he served as a Field General in the final months of the Dread War, leading successful operations and being awarded the Crystal Heart medal. In June of 308 AC, he was surprisingly named Patriarch and Head of House Typhonus by Elros. Most recently in September of 308 AC, he was voted in as the Grand Marshal of the Regalian Military by the Marshal Cabinet. Portrayed by @ChapterDeath Reginald Wolfram Typhonus (30): Reginald is the older brother of Lydia, Reimar, and Giselle Typhonus, and first son to Albrecht Typhonus. Reginald is seen as a military right hand of the Prince, acting as the leader of the Typhonus Navy as it’s serving Admiral. A graduate of the Ranger Academy turned to the Marshal cabinet in his late teen years, graduating from each with esteemed credits. Seen as an ambitious workaholic by his kin, Reginald is glued to his craft. Coming off to most nobility as a driven introvert, Reginald has earned himself many prestigious titles within the government and military. Sitting as a Division Admiral on the Imperial Marshal Cabinet, being credited as the Baron of Chetznitz and being a member of the Gallovian Court. Portrayed by @Natannine. Lydia Vivianne Typhonus (29): Twin sister to Alberic Typhonus, Lydia is the firstborn daughter to Albrecht Volkhardt Typhonus and Josephine Typhonus neé von Lyon. Being a religious zealot, she became a Rettist at a young age, and in her later youth, a Helerian Knight. She did not pursue a militaristic career, instead choosing a path directed solely upon furthering the Great Way. She has mothered the Imperial Church of the Holy Divine, composed Unionist songbooks and guidance counselling, become Captain of the Crimson Vanguard, and taken the time to dedicate to her family's social life, including the organization of events through The Talon Society with her cousins, Josephine and Cecille Typhonus. Portrayed by @pixYcandi Josephine Seline Typhonus (31): The eldest daughter of Thoron Typhonus, she is a bit of an enigma when compared to her siblings. Often preferring the company of very few and residing within the lush forest, the huntress of the family is elusive, but when one pins her down she truly is a charming creature. For note, she is of the Huntverk schooling and embodies the mantra of the school. Very much focused upon her own hunting achievements and leaving the other noble hunters in the dust, Josephine, when not doing so and toting around a bow and arrow, is incredibly personable on a one on one basis and very protective of her younger siblings. Truly, she is the wise and advice giving sister. Portrayed by @Walnoodle. Klaus Heinrich Typhonus (28). Klaus is the eldest male in his sibling line, following behind Josephine as the eldest female, and is the nephew of former patriarch Ulric Typhonus. He has always deviated from following the traditional militaristic route of his kin, instead opting for specialisation in diplomacy and scouting operations from his time in the Calemberg Jagers. This means the nobleman travels regularly outside of the empire, although his absence is rarely noted due to his isolated free time and consistent appearances in the Regalian court. Klaus also considers himself an avid scholar, with a growing collection of strange items and a curiosity for dark knowledge. Whilst this has made him a black sheep amongst the more traditional Typhonus members, he is fiercely loyal to his family and is willing to shoulder the burdens necessary to keep House Typhonus together with his intelligence, silver tongue and underhanded methods. Portrayed by @Battlebrawn Clarimonde Basina Typhonus (24): Clarimonde is the second youngest child of Thoron and Elena Typhonus, being older than her sister Cecille, but behind her siblings Klaus and Josephine in age. The young woman is known to be sociable among her family and peers, being attentive and charismatic in her relations. Clarimonde as well has a passion for animals and dueling, being both studied in animal husbandry, and a graduate of the School of Griffer. The Typhonus also enjoys spending much of her time out in nature, often hiking in the surrounding lush forests and mountains or riding horseback either on-trail or off. Portrayed by @Batel_ Cecille Emmelyn Typhonus (21) - Cecille is the younger sister of Klaus and Josephine, being the youngest in the family in current Regalia. The young woman often strayed away, at least in the public eye, from any form of combat and having an interest in both the sciences and arts. However, she has an obvious history going to the School of Griffer. She is seen as highly involved in courtly affairs since joining her kin in Regalia. Often seen as ambitious to get what she wants, she has been quick to meeting other nobility, and rising to the occasion by earning a title from hard work, and aiding her family with what she can while in the city. Portrayed by @Nesstro. Reinhardt Kellan-Josef Typhonus (21): Reinhardt is the son of Thoron Typhonus and cousin of the patriarch. While relatively close in line to the throne of Calemberg and control of the family, Reinhardt is a Typhonus who identifies more with the common soldiers, and acts accordingly. While still a Typhonus of blue-blood, Reinhardt is know to prefer blunt dialogue and the knit-and-grit of battle on the front lines. Devoutly Unionist, Reinhardt has the Fourth Creed of Unionist tattooed down his right arm (along with several other Unionist symbols), and has been known to drop in and out of the Helerian Guard. This character can be applied for.Many other Typhonus exist, with differing archetypes and abilities, but it is suggested that if you apply for the family, you apply for one of the characters above. However, if none interest you, and you have a realistic one engaging concept for another family member, do not hesitate to pitch the idea in your application, in similar fashion to how the characters are presented above. You may hear about other Typhonus who have roamed Regalia. Those who are alive may technically be applied for but will be under heavier scrutiny. Here are their descriptions: Spoiler: Other Typhonus Members Reynald Typhonus: Reynald Typhonus briefly represented the House Typhonus immediately following Ulric's first retirement to Calemberg. He managed to secure a brief tenure as Lord Commander of the Violet Order, but was ultimately sacked when stronger political forces prevailed and returned to Calemberg. He currently serves as a Lieutenant of Calemberg's infantry Pepin Typhonus: Pepin is the wife of the late Maximilian Typhonus and was previously a von Lebrecht. That's really about it. She is presumed to be in a monastery somewhere because Ulric did not care for her much. Roland Albert Typhonus (24). Roland is the third child and second son of Thoron and Elena Typhonus. Roland didn’t take much interest in a maritime career like his father, instead choosing to join the Viridian Order. He aims to rise in the ranks and establish a strong presence in the Viridian Order for House Typhonus. He is currently on assignment abroad on behalf of the Viridian Order. Hadrian Typhonus: Hadrian Typhonus was Ulric's father and the first Archduke of Calemberg. He came to Regalia briefly to assist his son in governance, but was ultimately murdered by Andrieu Anahera during the Anahera occupation of the capital. Hadrian's Chain (the line of mountains between Calemberg and the North) is named in his honor. Maximilian Typhonus: Maximilian Typhonus was a cousin of Ulric Typhonus was a prominent political mover during the height of the Typhonus' power in Imperial politics. Maximilian was also a horrendously flippant ladies man. He met his end during the "Great Castle Crash," during the Anahera occupation, when the old Grey Gate prison was blown up whilst he was locked away inside. He is survived, most likely, by several bastard children as well as his legitimate children. Rumor has it that Ulric had to establish a commission of trusted advisors to locate most of Maximilian's bastard children. Godspeed, you glorious bastard. Godspeed. Carolyne Typhonus: Carolyne Typhonus is an adoptive member of the House Typhonus, previously having been a disowned member of the House Drache. Legitimized as a Typhonus under Reynald's influence, she is generally considered a non-blood-related "sister" of Reynald. She is a skilled bladeswoman, and works closely with Reynald in Calemberg's infantry. Application (Please format neatly!) Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: Do you use Discord?

RECRUITMENT IS CURRENTLY: OPEN! Original Statement: Being completely honest, I am going to be EXTREMELY selective here. In the past, I’ve often been accused of running the House Typhonus in a very dictatorial fashion. But with most of my time consumed by college, work, my social life, and my workout regimine, I’m making attempts to change that. Thus, this time around, many things may be delegated to family members in the assurance that they’ll know what they’re doing. So if I don’t know you, you’ll have a very slim chance, even with a solid list of references. - @Tyrollean Eagle Current Statement: With @ChapterDeath currently leading the family, all applications also go through myself @Nesstro @LumosJared and the rest of the family. We are less selective about new applications but they generally have to be approved by all members without stains on their record. Despite this, we offer criticism for all rejected apps and will help to guide you in another direction if we feel Typhonus isn't suitable for you. Be honest about your intentions, come with a general idea for your character that we can assist you with and apply if you feel our family might suit you! Replies may take a few days due to how busy our members are. - @Battlebrawn
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: https://forums.massivecraft.com/threads/kahuangi-kapono.66333/ (rejected per my request due to removal of the race), https://forums.massivecraft.com/threads/llozzi’sil-al-yaotl.72415/ What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family?: I hope to become both more familiar and more involved with noble roleplay. As well as this, I’d like to help bring more popularity to the Typhonus family. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: I would say my strength in roleplay is to latch onto an idea and not let go and hyperfocusing (thanks ADHD). I can become obsessed with different things at a time, and more likely than not, I will become slightly obsessed in playing in this House (if accepted). I am also proud of the ability to think out a character’s backstory and culture and see how it will affect the choices they make. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: One of my weaknesses would be playing Ailor characters. I have tried before to play Ailor characters and have failed in the past, though I wish this house will give me more motivation and will to play such a character. As well as this, I become easily anxious if a lot of pressure is put onto my character without my prior knowledge of it, and even then with proper preparation, anxiety can come crashing in. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: I have not! Do you use Discord?: I do indeed! Have you read and do you understand the rules?: I do. Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so?: I think that, in applying for the character I wish to have and his prescribed personality so far, I can help increase standing of the Typhonus house among both the common folk and other nobility, especially those who’s views align slightly with his. In that way, the House’s overall popularity could potentially increase both IC and OOC. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: Papida/Jarrettdacarrot, KirbyTheVampire, Deadfoe51, SilentEndurance If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: I would be an aspen tree! Character you wish to play: Reinhardt Kellan-Josef Typhonus
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: These are my two most enjoyable to me and others through interactions with them. I'm most proud of them. Amelia, Masika What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): Just finding a RP family with good people on an OOC level, just people I can be comfortable and at ease with. I like to be a part of things, and additionally, furthering the cause of them. Maybe I can generate better roleplay for the community through this, at least I certainly hope so. Roleplay is meant to be enjoyed by everyone and all-inclusive, so I'd like to stick to that style. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: Being lively and all-inclusive, capturing vivid emotion and scene, bringing things to life and allowing everyone at a chance in the "spotlight". I think every character has strengths, weaknesses, and words that should be revealed ICly. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: I'm not great at combat RP and I have bouts of "roleplay fatigue" or "roleplay anxiety" which can hinder me if I don't coax myself out of it. It's not often but certainly occurs. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: Nope not yet, but I fear the day. Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): It's kind of my main thing and I can be easily contacted with it, so yeah, I use it. A lot. Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Very much and actually, they're well thought out and simple. Which I appreciate. Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): I may be able to improve the social aspect of the family and gain them a few friends by simply brandishing the name and flaunting it in good favor. If there's a sort of happy-go-lucky character to charm and inspire friendships and make allies effectively, not only would it be really fun to play, it may also benefit the family's relations. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @Caelamus @Anarchizm @nath_n @zuwuwa @JarrettdaCarrot @ChapterDeath @ETrees @DolittleGuy @Fergoff @KingdomKnightz (Thank you to all of you for supporting me, it's much appreciated) If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: I would be an apricot tree, I think. With enough care, they can create sweet apricots for everyone to enjoy. But I admire the Coastal Redwoods for their strength and brilliance alongside their lifespan. The character I wish to apply for is Theodon II Adalger Typhonus, I feel I can portray him in a manner that suits the character and the family. If this doesn't work out, I'm willing to take another roll, i. e. if you don't perceive this character and myself to be compatible, then I'm open to something else.
@LumosJared Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: Vincent Ravenstad-Krier, Gregor Grauwald (Typhonus), Atilio Amaya, Reinhardt Alshultz, Avilio Desidario, Wulfric, Dionsio of Grenitan What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family?: Want to play my old character because he was a fun experience to be social with and offered a laid back roleplay experience while also a semi serious noble experience. I want to be able to play him again. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: Knowing my stuff, being able to influence other characters while taking a background role. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: Not putting myself out there enough. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: No Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): Yeah you have it. Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Yes Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): House Typhonus has always been a force to be reckoned with, even as an NPC family. With it now seemingly taking a background role I want to contribute to its revival. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: Leaving blank for now If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: a dumb idiot tree The character I wish to play is Gregor Typhonus (name change from Reinhardt). Gregor is a seasoned lancyon warrior who participated in several battles in the latest Songaskian war, but suffered a severe setback by losing the battle of Altaqq under Ulric's lead and possibly the worst display of military strategy in Typhonus history. Since then he has been soul searching for purpose since the events and now wants to rejoin his family in Regalia.
If you had logged on in the past six days, perhaps this wouldn't be an immediate rejection. Please prove you can maintain any sort of meaningful activity with another character first. Approved.
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: Alexander Silva, Akeno Hamasaki What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): I would like to get back into the Nobility scene in all honesty, and I wish to climb the 'noble hierarchy' I suppose in the long term. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: My ability to provide RP for a large selection from Commoner to Nobility. Additionally being able to handle a large diversity of scenes. (Combat, Casual, Guard RP) What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: I have a rough time with large groups, sometimes I additionally lose focus. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: No, not at all. Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): In the Typhonus Discord already. Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Indeed. Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): I think that I can improve the Typhonus family by branching into different types of RP. Such as within the Violet Order, or within Military scope of RP! Additionally I think I can expand into roping commoners into different RP scenarios. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @Anarchizm @HereticTakao @Nixces @WrongChat @pixYcandi If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: Maple man. I would like to portray Jaecar Sigwald Typhonus, as I feel I have the ability to portray Jaecar's military knowledge correctly and his combative prowess as demonstrated above. I'm willing to comply with his bullheadedness in tense situations. And I feel I can actively use this characters to progress House Typhonus in some manner.
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: I only play one character in specific currently, that being Kai-si’en. I will be as active as I can and be directing half of my time towards playing this noble along side Kai.What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): I’ve found myself missing the noble scene entirely. After being apart of such noble families like Wodenstaff and co-running Vauclain a couple of years ago I’ve grown to want to be involved again. I plan on being as active as I can and attending events as well. I was also heavily inspired to join by @Battlebrawn and @Natannine .What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: I can sit through a lot of idle chit chat rp along with not be afraid of playing a character to their full potential.What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: Combat roleplay is still one of my lesser abilities along with sometimes hesitating or taking a bit to reply in certain roleplays.Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: I am a good egg and I haven’t ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned.Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): Yes.Have you read and do you understand the rules?: I do indeed understand the rules!Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): I’m not entirely sure. I’d like to just generally offer RP and to get the Typhonus name out there more as a court orientated noblewoman.Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @Walnoodle @TheMoistestMan @seoulmate @BattlebrawnIf you were a tree, what tree would you be?: I have no reasoning what so ever besides I like the tree, that tree being a willow tree. I have no set character that I wish to play but I do have a general idea of a niche that I could do. But everything is subject to change depending on what the Typhonus need. Character Name | Emmelyn Typhonus, name subject to change if needed. Character Age | Relatively young but she can be older if need be, between the ages of 22 to 30. Character Idea | A studious and honorable young lady who was raised to interact with the court of nobility and with high hopes of becoming a linguistics scholar. She aspires to obtain a court position of some degree and to earn respect within the peerage. But she also wishes to make her family proud and to work closely with them. She has an affinity for books, writing, and scholarly pursuits in life. If you have any questions, Jared has my discord.
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: At present, the character I have mained for most of my time on Massive would be Sera. Link What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): Having been involved with numerous noble families before, both as a supporter and as an actual member, Noble RP has always been a creature I could never quite capture. What I’m saying is I want to try again combining the idea of being a support and a member of the family together. Plus I had the idea earlier when I was briefly part of the Grey Guard, which I enjoyed even if it was short lived. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: In-depth one on one conversations or small group discussions on particular topics. Combat RP to a point. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: Striking up a conversation or starting up RP, but I feel like I’m getting a little bit better at this! Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: Nah. I’m a clean Noodle Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): I do yep! Have you read and do you understand the rules?: I have and I do. Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): I would like to think so, but then again I’m not terribly sure. I know with the combined forces of the other members and I, I think I could, absolutely. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @Nesstro @Battlebrawn @TheMoistestMan If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: A pine tree! We have a lot of pine trees around where I call home, so that’s why. Summary of Character: (This is just a general idea and anything and everything can be changed.) Character name: Selina Typhonus (open to changing the name!) Character Age: Early to mid 30s (open to going older or younger) Character Idea: A refined woman who has dedicated most of her life to the arts and etiquette. She has little time for politics but knows how to hold her own when it comes down to it. Her mastery truly lies with instrumental music with a violin or cello, and physical arts, mostly painting, whether it be landscapes or actual portraits. Though her whole life has been dedicated to the arts, she has learned how to throw a killer soirée.
Approved. Approved. This one isn't approved or rejected just yet. We are conducting some research and watching your roleplay, so expect a proper detailed response or request for clarification within the week. In the interim, House Typhonus applications are still open! :D
Human Resources Induction Sheet: Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: Natasha Celyreos, Jocelyn Alicker & Rie Elus Lorelei. What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family?: Currently, I am working on a project for a narrative meant to stress the different elements of roleplay we know and love. I intend to open into a well standing position where I can return back to the current Regalia in a short period of time, where I can regain my old writing habits and make sure this project holds out on all ends. Essentially, I believe this is a route into returning somewhere near to my old position and progress further than I did before, while simultaneously bolstering my skills and working on developing the skills I need to host a small scale narrative - so I intend to make some positive noise in order to regain this. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: While I am a bit rusty, I do have a history with CRP and I can have deep conversations in a two-person conversation to a certain element - I'm having trouble applying it to the current roleplay world due to my hiatus. I have experience from the Vigilant Shield v1/v2, Violet Order v2 and Ivory Wardens, while also supporting the Freya Lo insurgency and being apart of the Howlester Wolfsrudel guard. (long hiatus) What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: Other than being rusty for being a returning player, I can't think directly of any which don't step OOC. OOC-wise, I do work a 60/24 hour contract on alternating patterns so I can occasionally disappear for two weeks at a time - I've got bills to pay. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: Not since 2017. Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): Yes. Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Yes. I left for a week and saw Celyreos going down for treason so I won't make any stupid moves. Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): Yes. As I mentioned before, I am attempting to establish my own project out of the roleplay universe (while in the server) and want to develop pacing skills for narratives. I was viewing a part of the family trade is hunting and pelts, so I figured one of my first stops was to start operating a hunting regime within Regalia and start gaining traction again. See what the field of play has to offer, then work off that. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: N/A, i'm afraid. I haven't been back for long, as I kept making kooky characters doomed to fail. If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: A weed tree. Summary of Character: Character name: Zara Typhonus Character Age: Mid to late twenties. Character Idea: A selective and patient type, Zara was known for an aptitude for the discovery of the unknown through her childhood to her current day. Having spent time trying to understand the roles of nobility, she found herself more in turn with nature as she became a hunter for the company where she could silently stalk wild animals, land the cleanest shot and skin it's pelt for resale. Eager hunter fond of the snow who has explored much of the Regalian countryside, amongst other regions of Aloria, she returns to the holy city set on being more interactive with the family from such a long time alone in the wild.
Approved but the character concept may undergo some changes as current Typhonus give their input. Invite to Discord has been sent.
Page undergoing some construction over the next day, with an info post to follow. Applications remain wide open.
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: Margarethe Black, Schyler Kraus, Roesia Alaire, Rizana SheikhWhat are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family?: Having been involved with noble families before, each experience has been different compared to the other. During a period of time, I had explored various options that I considered joining as I developed various concepts for characters, however, my mind kept returning to the noble scene even if I sought to find a different means of roleplay, can't quite say I can leave it. In joining Typhonus, I am considering pursuing a path that I have considered before with old characters, however, with the development of my current character as well as IC limitations I am incapable of doing so. As well from Typhonus, I wish to accomplish in participating in more family-oriented RP as it is one aspect of noble RP I have enjoyed the most over the past few years beyond the political battles.What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: I would say my greatest roleplay strength is playing an emotion through a character and keeping it consistent as the character itself undergoes the transformation of influencing character-development from both interactions with other characters and environmental changes while remaining on track with bringing out their full potential.What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: My greatest weakness I would have to say is probably my schedule. As I am now attending five classes at my college with work on weekends that run straight through the hot-hours, I find myself not capable of attending most noble events unless my schedule allows it, often resulting in IC reasons such as my character leaving town for the weekend.Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: No I never had any pushiments issued.Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): I am on Discord throughout the day at various times.Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Yes I have read the rules and I do understand them.Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): It would be dependent on how I would go about my respective character if offered the chance to. Dependent on the concept I have in mind, I would try to focus on a possibility of improving court relations between the respective classes or tend to the needs of the respective lower-class characters, such as an almshouse or improving the court image of the family by hosting charity events.Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @Winterless @Katiesc @MintyJade @Aurelian30k If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: Grapefruit Tree!Character ConceptAndrea Typhonus is a young woman in her mid to late twenties who has chosen to pursue a militaristic career, however, straying away from combat, taking an interest in diplomacy and linguistics. Joining her kin in Regalia, Andrea has become interested in more charitable matters such as the consideration of conducting an almshouse within the confines of New Town, offering doors open to those in need or hosting events that may contribute to a form of charity. (Final Concept TBD).
After some deliberation and discussion in Discord and with other parties, we've opted to reject this application. Applications for House Typhonus are still open.
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: Daniel Sirgrauth What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): I was hoping I could try out something new as I usually just stick to 1 character at a time. This would probably give me the chance to play a noble that I think would suit me quite well! What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: I honestly do not know what to say on this one. I have been gone for a while and I don't really know what to answer this question with. Only thing that comes to mind is my activity I guess? I will be playing more often, and I think I will be playing this character as much as I play my main. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: Weakness would be my time zone. I am a night owl, and I like to stay up late, even if I'm a mess the next day, but I wouldn't really be able to attend REALLY late night events, as they usually end up being around maybe 5am-6am, and that's my max limit when it comes to going to sleep. Other ones would be maybe being a tad slow at typing emotes, though I will be getting better as I go I guess. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: Never. Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): I do. Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Yes, and I have already discussed it with Lumos about one of them (Main Character), so I'm sure it will be fine. Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): I think I can bring some good things to the family, and hopefully make the other characters/family members grow story wise. I'm looking to leave a good mark if I get the chance. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: I guess LumosJared can? I just came back so I don't want to call out people that might not vouch for me in the end. If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: A Banyan Tree. The character I'd like to play is: Reinhardt Kellan-Josef Typhonus. I think I can suit the character pretty well without falling out of nobility like I remember a lot of 'Noble' characters doing when they have been more 'loose' with Nobility standards/morals!
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: Aya What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): I'd like to scope out the noble scene and live out what I cannot with my current character. Other than that I'm pretty active and willing to push activity and interact with other nobles and possibly create some narratives while I'm at it. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: I'd mention medical roleplay if it wasn't the niche I'm avoiding with this hypothetical character. Otherwise, I think my greatest strength is being able to fit expectations for different roleplayers and being able to properly fit myself into situations with unmet characters. I'm able to balance both literate and serious toned roleplay and casual/comedic roleplay and can switch between the two rather quickly. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: My attention span is bipolar. Sometimes I'll log on and immediately log off or randomly drop out of roleplay. Other times when I'm invested I end spending less than a healthy amount of time roleplaying. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: No Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): Yes Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Yes Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): Maybe Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @Natannine If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: Spoiler I'd be a Rainbow eucalyptus. Starting plain and rough-looking until their bark begins to shed as the tree matures. Even with the rough patches and abnormalities that don't look so great, there are still exposed color and potential underneath the original bark that will mature in time but will never be completely perfect. Spoiler: Character I was suggested Carolyne by @Natannine although I'm indecisive. I'll list instead of the niche I want to fill and can choose between the two accordingly if the same concept cant be lived out through Carolyne. I'd like to roleplay what I'm unable to with my main and only other characters, as it makes no sense to have two similar characters. I'm looking to play a combat-oriented, military involved, equestrian enthusiast female character. I've yet to concept passed that in case of rejection, but still enough to work with if I'm accepted. I'd lean mostly towards war progressions as there aren't many relevant female field commanders (to my knowledge), and I've always wanted to get involved in military-based roleplay. I could also assist in the mercenary business and provide more roleplay to the different mercenary groups through training, meetings, and just hanging around the mercenary keep to give it more use.
Approved for 2 Week Trial Run. Rejected for Reasons explained in PM. House Applications for House Typhonus are STILL OPEN! :D
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: Alexander Dumore. - Ruaridh Dunmore. - Aurelius Krupp. What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family?: House Typhonus for a long time now has been a very interesting family in my eyes, I loved TyrolleanEagle's rp back in the day and very much looked up to him. The intimidation that Ulric Typhonus emmitted was enough to make anyone realize that the family was powerful and interesting in its own ways. I hoped simply to fulfill a wish made by my younger self by joining House Typhonus, though I have held off for a long time now because I never felt I was ready for the responsibility or weight on my shoulders. - Regardless, I am now interested in undertaking a role in House Typhonus because I feel that I have progressed a great deal since my early days on the server way back in 2011 and although it was a slow progression it has been one that has taught me a lot along the way. I won't be the centre of attention in roleplay by any means, but the character I am looking to go for is a completely new venture for me, described as a man indulging in Subterfuge and Military Espionage. I enjoy the idea of playing a character who centres himself around the gathering of Intelligence and Information that may come to be useful at a later date, I think most of all this is about fitting in though. I know a fair amount of people within House Typhonus and I believe maybe a couple of them like me, I'm not overly sure. I simply want to fit in, make friends and create decent roleplay for not only the "Typhonii" as it used to be joked, but for the Nobility at large. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: Intimidation, Combat & Fear Roleplay. - For a while now I've seen my abilities in a torture cell flourish ever since I took on the role of Aurelius Krupp well over a year back now, I believe this will lend to the character I intend to take on as a project to better my abilities and bring a darker air to the Typhonus family, one that was better felt in the days of Ulric's reign. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: Small Talk, Day-to-Day Chores. - I find that small talk can be overly boring in roleplay, not only for myself but due to the way I create my characters. My characters aren't created with the latest fashion in mind but rather are goal-orientated, as such I find myself struggling to become interested in such IC chatter, it is the same with the likes of day-to-day chores where I really won't have my characters cooking, dusting the shelves of the estate or reading books in a lounge, I'd rather have them working towards something as mentioned before. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: I have indeed, though the punishment was dropped. If you'd like further information on this you're welcome to contact me. Do you use Discord?: I do indeed! - Vivamente#6644 Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Indeed I have and I understand them. Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so?: There was a time when improvement wasn't really required, those were the days when Ulric gave the family a darker and more intimidating tone. I intend to bring that back and overall I hope it may make a slight improvement, even the smallest droplets falling into a pond can have a large ripple effect. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @Caelamus - @Ailethi - @Anarchizm - @BillyTheScroofy If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: Oddly enough, I want to say Bonsai Tree. - I feel like a Bonsai Tree is the best fit because they are relatively easy to handle, the best choice for those first trying their hand at gardening & greenkeeping. I may not be small, but I feel I've characteristics to be shared with these fascinating parts of nature. Chosen Character: Albrecht Volkhardt Typhonus. (51 Years old.)
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: Efraín Flores; Marcus Blackadder; Laurent d’Andalon. What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): I’m mainly looking for a fresh experience. In other settings my favourite types of characters to play have been advisory or staff roles to members of nobility, but I’ve never played somewhere before Massive with a large enough playerbase to support nobles having large families, nevermind multiple families and politics between them. I’ve wanted to be involved with the aristocracy and nobility since joining, but wanted to spend some time getting to know the scene better before applying myself. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: I think my strongest point is in playing out personal relationships. I’ve spent a majority of my time roleplaying as non-combative characters, and mostly on servers with a smaller population (meaning that most characters knew every other character quite well); so an overwhelming majority of my roleplay experience consists of playing out relationships between characters in a lot more detail than usual. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: In terms of Massive, I think currently my biggest weakness is my unfamiliarity with some of the systems. I’ve tried to involve myself where I can with the upper-class on my existing characters, but I haven’t had much exposure yet to how nobility functions on the inside. More generally I think I’m weak when required to take charge, because I don’t usually enjoy having the main focus of large group roleplay being on me, unless it’s in an area or on a character that I’m particularly comfortable with; it’s just not something I’ve spent much time doing before, but I’m sure it would be something I could get used to if the need arose. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: No. Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): Yes - lewis#2768. Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Yes. Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): I haven’t interacted with many of the current Typhonus members in much detail so it’s difficult to say what the family is missing currently, but I think the minimum I can add is some variety to the family as a fresh face, particularly in non-military, business-based roleplay, an area that seems to be relatively small based off the characters listed above. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @Ryria @Anarchizm @Mooffins @Patsie If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: A cherry blossom tree. Character concept I wrote up some more detailed notes on the type of character I’d like to play in a document that I could send over on discord, but the general idea I had was as follows: Karsten Typhonus, a young, genteel man of twenty-six with an ear for opportunity and a tongue for debate. Curious, physically rather average, and always aspiring to appear proper, the young Typhonus deigned not to focus his youth on the combative side of the family, save for the small, necessary training to defend himself (even then, he only wanted training to show off a rapier at his hip). Instead, the Typhonus focused his time on business, economy, and honing his boyish charm; a charm that serves him well as he sways people to take part in his deals and business offerings, and ultimately allows him to fill his and his family’s pockets with their coin. People might consider him and his way of business ruthless and predatory, if not for his well-kept appearance and the innocent smile that scarcely leaves his lips. I'm open to any changes that are needed to fit, but if at all possible I'd like to remain around the same age.
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: Just Kalmar Lok-Guthrain. He is my only active character. My past inactive characters are as follows: Haymitch Voss (Played for 3 months 2019) Nace of Kinwrey (Played infrequently for 3 years 2019) Svante Viduggla (Played for 6 months in 2018) What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): I'd like to bring a certain harsh grittiness to the noble scene as it gears up for another rendition, something that has gleaned through many of my characters. Not overbearing, not slapstick rough 'n tough, but a genuine character that has been bred colder than his peers. To give a realistic view on war, and torment to a personality that not only provides something beyond niche family RP, but a harsher reality to every plan conceived, and every war about to be fought. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: Playing characters that are affected by their environment, and always incorporating their background and cultures into realistic moral struggles. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: Fitting into cookie-cutter roles of stagnant roleplay. My interests dip if I'm not hosting events, or working toward changing the climate somewhat. I need to always be working toward something. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: N/A. Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): You have it. Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Yes. Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): My goal is always to widen the atmosphere of what is the current stagnant environment within a group. I seek to press the envelope on my characters' views, whilst still adhering to being blueblood. As I said, I hope to bring a more realistic, and war-ridden view to the nobles which may be considered harsh and militaristic. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @fuithlug (also I'm sure many people within the house currently have definitely been around me long enough to have a basic understanding of how I roleplay, maybe not vouch but are true people to ask about my playstyle and quirks in roleplay.) If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: Australian Buloke. Chosen Character: Reinhardt Typhonus.
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: Wilheim Of Köln What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): I was hoping to further integrate my character into the NobleRP scene and add some further depth into it with my contributions. I think Wilheim could be used to add further progression to Typhonus presence in every day roleplay, and push them towards further gains for House Typhonus with his militaristic contributions in the everyday battle against the foul heretics who lurk underneath the Holy City. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: I think driving conflict arcs for multiple player groups in roleplay is my greatest strength. Another strength of mine would be that once I set my mind to something, I am able to do what it takes to get it done. I have received some compliments OOCly for what I have done and it honestly brings me a lot of joy to know that the stuff I do is appreciated by so much of the community! What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: I do not enjoy pleasantry or pointless day-to-day, casual conversational roleplay. I like action. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: No, I have not! Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): Yes! Fast Man#9090 / The_Hochmeister in the RP discord. Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Yes, I have! Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): I believe I can further intra-family roleplay as well as inter-family. By design, my character drives RP. Wilheim is a devout holyman, who I believe could add further aspects into pro-Imperial, pure Unionist roleplay. A man of feudal chivalry, I think his aggressive wit and ambition could really drive Typhonus roleplay not just behind closed Noble doors, but further influence CommonerRP as well, like it has in the past! Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @pixYcandi , @Anarchizm , @Aurelian30k , @canaaa , and @Eronoc may vouch for my roleplay ability and OOC courtesy! If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: A sturdy oak. Please give me a summary of the Typhonus character you wish to portray, or choose a name from the list above. Ideally, I’d like to integrate Wilheim of Koln, the “Hochmeister,” as a member of the Typhonus family. Either to be a long-lost bastard of the family line, or to be IC adopted into it. The values of House Typhonus and Alt-Regalian aesthetic heavily fit my character's personal outlook on Unionist tenants and patriarchal authority, as well as Imperial loyalty. I think he would make an excellent addition to the roleplay setting that is the Typhonus house as well as the noble scene as a Typhonus! If it isn’t possible for my character, Wilheim, to somehow be incorporated into House Typhonus, whether that be by adoption or long-lost bastard, I will still play him. With that said, if I am accepted into Typhonus and am expected to make another character for Typhonus, I unfortunately cannot see myself dedicating as much time to them as I will to Wilheim still. @LumosJared @TyrolleanEagle
Link to any current or former Roleplay characters: 1 2 3 4 5 6 What are you hoping to accomplish by joining the Typhonus family? (Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): Mine is a horribly selfish reason. I want to push myself to have more group oriented roleplay, and I haven't had the experience to do so yet. I've tried and often I end up as that of just staff and it makes things a bit difficult to get involved, so I thought this would be a good place to start. I want to find more groups where I feel like I can fit in, my previous experiences have been a bit formal and thus making it hard to find a place where I feel like I'm able to fit in and enjoy roleplaying. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: Descriptive and engaged roleplay that can show you what my character is thinking from an OOC perspective. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: Doing actions that would make sense for my character but often makes me feel like a bad person OOC. I've been trying to work on this, and I was hoping a chance like this could help me improve. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: No Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): Yes, `Ya Bøi Guzma`#9269 Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Yes, have read and understand all of the rules. Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): I think so. I can provide a new experience to those around us and get the Typhonus name out there and provide meaningful and engaging roleplay to family members and those we haven't met yet. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: @Gochnipunchni @_Malou @LeonIsLame @diedonny @ZeeAtlas @Malir_Bromtor Sorry for tags, you're the very few people I know who'd be able to help me out with something like this. If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: I really don't know. I'm not saying this because I'm trying to dodge the question, I just really don't know. There's plenty of trees for sure, some are good for certain things but I don't really have a liking for any specific one. I always thought birch trees were pretty and that redwoods were special but every tree is special in it's own right and I don't know which one would be the one I wanna be. I know this doesn't answer the question but I'm honestly been trying to think about which tree I'd be and I had to come to give an answer like this. Birch trees are nice though. Chosen Character: Rudolph Walten Typhonus

(Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): I'm hoping to get back into noble roleplay and be able to rp with a lot of the people I used to rp with, but also just the experience of playing a Typhonus with all of its history and aesthetic is very appealing. I'm not sure what specifically I'm hoping to accomplish with this character except to help keep the family alive and play a better noble than I ever could before now that I know better as to what I'm doing. I think there are a lot of routes this character could go and I doubt I'll ever feel that it starts to stagnate. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: Keeping up interesting conversation and maintaining communication OOCly with those I'm rping with. I'm going to be pretty active given that the summer is rolling around, so I'm pretty good about seeing things through irp. What would you say your greatest Roleplay weakness is?: Definitely being lost in large groups and not being heard, but also anxiety for entering ongoing rp even though I'm comfortable once I join it. I'll get really worried about whether or not my presence is acceptable in any relatively non-public setting even if I have a reason to be there. Have you ever been muted/jailed/tempbanned? If so, why?: Nada Do you use Discord? (TyrolleanEagle dislikes voice chat, but LumosJared forces him to use it.): Yes :> Have you read and do you understand the rules?: Yes! Do you think you can improve the Typhonus family at all? How so? (No is an acceptable answer): I think I can improve it by staying active and upholding its usual traditions and aesthetics. I already have some experience playing a Typhonus before, but I thought about this for a long while and I reached the conclusion that I can do a lot better than how I did way back when knowing what I know now and having a better control over things. Is there anyone who can vouch for you?: Specifically for this, the best would be @Battlebrawn and @Natannine. Will discuss more in discord. If you were a tree, what tree would you be?: Bonsai bb Spoiler: Character Concept I was thinking about creating a new Typhonus (unlisted) for two reasons: I do not want to bring back Carolyne and I feel I could not to Riane Typhonus justice since I was around when Suzzie played her. The concept is as follows: Natalia Andrea Typhonus (24): Second youngest child of Albrecht and Josephine Typhonus, born around the same time as Reimar (since he's 24 now so they're basically the second set of twins despite Natalia having visibly browner hair). Unlike her three other siblings, Natalia followed closely in her father's footsteps, training with her long-time rival, Klaus, under him with the Calemberg Jagers. She eventually befriended Riane and took to becoming a cavalry scout and Hexenjager in her own right while Klaus went on to focus his training in political subterfuge, but the two's rivalry did not cease. Natalia firmly remains on the path to eventually succeeding her father as the Typhonus scoutmaster, assisting him and his shadows with performing official investigations into local groups as well as the eventual take down or arrest of any troublesome individuals who would threaten the security of Typhonus as she patrols the countryside with the Hexenjagers. This is not always her role, however, as per the militaristic nature of her other siblings, she can also be found serving on the frontlines as a cavalry officer alongside the infantry positions Alberic and Lydia keep. Though the three have been somewhat at odds with usually being under the commands of their younger brother Reimar, Natalia firmly fits the ideals of the cousin line to protect Typhonus at all costs. A seemingly unsuspecting young lady, Natalia holds the same uncanny nature of her father but is by no means disregarded amidst her kin given her deadly skill with a cavalry saber and her equestrian ability. By all means, her charismatic attitude and friendly disposition only makes her role that much more effective in contrast when it is revealed.
Rejected but alternative characters getting closer to the House is being explored, and a future trial run is not ruled out. While we are intrigued by a future trial period we are rejecting both of these for now. However we will be closely monitoring your rp over the next few weeks, to judge activity, quality, and otherwise before -likely- offering some sort of trial period. But that is dependent on your rp in the coming weeks, so while these are rejected, note the possibility for a future trial. Applications to House Typhonus remain OPEN and a Page Update is INCOMING.

(Be honest. Even if it’s a horribly selfish reason.): Friendship. Having fun with roleplaying. Also I know that there are a lot of cool people in this fam <3. It’s also been a while since I’ve played a noble, so it would be interesting for me to join that scene again. What would you say your greatest Roleplay strength is?: Being inclusive with other people, and making bonds IC. Also I think I can do some nice emotes sometimes.

I can relate to that long hair life. Character pitch summary: Clarimonde Typhonus, aged 24. She is the older sister to Cecille, and younger sibling to Klaus and Josephine Typhonus. Clarimonde herself is a swordswomen as a graduate of the School of Griffer, being proficient with the Griff Blade, and still capable with the Griff Hunting Bow. Besides combat Clarimonde has a love of animals and the wilderness, often found either caring for animals, horseback riding both on-trail and off, hiking, and all with having her loyal canine almost always by her side. Personality wise the Typhonus will have a compassionate heart, but also she can be strong when she needs to and for her family, for if and when times get tough. A flaw for Clarimonde would be that she is sometimes too selfless. ENFJ personality type. For her niche I’d like her being a more scout-like/ranger-like fighter.
House Typhonus is still actively recruiting for new members. Two new sections under the spoilers of Family Household Positions and Introduction to Family Politics now exist. -Family Household Positions serves as outline explaining roles family members play in the internal running of the House. Noting who the current Head is, as well as important figures like the effective second in command, manager of the Household, and prominent House military figures. -Introduction to Family Politics serves as the name implies an introduction to the different views some family members might hold. There's no longer a set or enforced homogeneous view or outlook for characters. Nowadays three main beliefs vie for influence over the agenda of the House.
