Companion System Update

Wed Dec 02, 2020 10:10 pm

Hello there!

In light of doing the revisions I've stumbled upon a request, seeing as how I've technically written two seasons as Patrick already, I was hoping to request that two of his brothers be certified Companions to earn XP for them; instead of starting over with just the one as you normally would.

The brothers in question would be Dominik and Connor, which can be found in his CS here.

In your original Companion request, you had Reyna as your companion. Now I see she isn't a companion, and instead of 2 companions, you have 3 listed. Are you requesting to transfer the 1 companion slot you had, and have an additional 2 added for this continued play option?

Ah, sorry I'd forgotten. Reyna was the starting companion I had in Glade, and when Searing hit I'd been allowed to trade in for Connor instead. I'd been given permission from the previous mods to allow that, but record of that has likely been lost from the reset, if they ever even noted it to begin with.

In regards to the NPC's marked Companions, I have that down as a means of a 'template' type deal. They're NPC's that can become Companions, but until they are approved to be such, they're treated as "Guest" Companions until their Companion status is approved.

Alright then is this request for continued use of your single companion (Connor) and an additional companion, on the grounds that Patrick has technically been in place for at least 2 seasons? That would total 2 companions for approval through the character continued play system.

Does that sound correct?

That is correct! Dominik and Connor are the two Companions I'll be restarting with this season.

That works for me. Please go ahead and post both of their writeups here in this thread. I will update your character secrets thread with their information. Let me know if you have any questions.

Dominik

Race: Human
DoB: Frost 42nd, 86 AoS
Relation: Older Brother
NPC Type: Companion
NPC Influence: Level 3

Biography: Dominik is the Second-born son of the Barnell Brothers, the quieter and observant one of the bunch, who often defers to books and intellectual pursuits over everything else. That doesn't go without saying that he isn't friendly towards others, quite contrary actually, for he welcomes company in whatever form it arrives in. Above all else he is a scholarly individual, focused on what matters most to him, which is obviously the wellbeing of his parents and siblings in turn. Some might consider him a big softie, others a whiner who needs to control his feelings better. Regardless Dominik is one that isn't afraid to solve problems, especially when it comes to the manner of approach.

Connor

Race: Human
DoB: Searing 66th, 92 AoS
Relation: Younger Brother
NPC Type: Companion
NPC Influence: Level 3

Biography: Connor is the fourth-born, and youngest, brother of the Barnells. He's by far as charismatic as the rest are, though flaunts it way more than any of the other three. That doesn't go without saying that Connor isn't the cocky one of the bunch, as Burton often gives him a good run for that title. All the same his confidence could come off as arrogance, however, Connor is also rather insipid when he makes a statement; making him come off as wishy-washy or even self-conscious at times. Even so, he is a practical trickster at heart, always looking for ways to prank an unsuspecting person when he's able to. It's all in good fun of course, which plays in part to his trickster mentality, yet there remains one thing that Connor is passionate about. When it comes to a kitchen, or food in general, he possesses quite the aptitude for the art that almost matches such passion.
