Hello! I'm rather new to this community and looking for people to play in my House/Fealty. My character Merida Grimhall is looking for more friends, Grimhalls, and someone special. Some real rough and tumble, salt-life people of the sea. The Grimhalls aren't the nicest people, we're slavers, pirates, warriors and staunch traditionalists who resist change. You want to take our slaves away? No!
Merida is a bit of a violent, dark lass (she's got her sweet side, if you give her the time of day) who admires strength in others. Fuck the pleasantries, and she doesn't want to need to cut you open to see the salt running through your veins. Actually she might. She likes doing that sort of thing. But in the great political world of Arvum, the Thrax and the Grimhalls are the ones people love to hate, or hate to love. But we're fiercely loyal, and when we say we'd kill for you, at least when it comes to Merida, we don't say it like it's a particularly hard thing to do.

So if you want to play a sailor, a hardened warrior, a slaver, a fierce sea captain or anything super fun like that, we'd love to have you and welcome you. We have a lot of rum! And Merida will have a loving brawl with you to welcome you in. And don't be afraid to be dark.

Here is Merida's character page if anyone is interested. As well as the Grimhall and Thrax pages.

You can send me a message on here as well if there are any questions.

@icanbeyourmuse I'm not sure, times change but if we all become good guys, where will the fun be in that? Houses can have their unique cases where they go against the norm, but if we all become unique, it's just a grey mess. I worry Thrax will become a 'good' house so to speak, when we weren't intended to be 'good'. Then the only difference between houses will merely be a few traits here and there that you see in all houses anyway when you take in the unique factors.

So yes, if we stay 'bad' with our Thralls and reaving and dark salty sailorness, the mainland houses will hate us. We'll keep losing the wars. But we'll be different, we'll inspire in game conflicts of interest and morals, and forge strong relationships IC that lead to strong interests OOC. It's okay to have IC enemies, it's no fun if we're all friends. We're not antagonists, we're anti-heroes. We all stood together against the siege. We're all heroes. Some of us are just less friendly/harsher than others.

Sorry, just venting a little. But I posted for more Grimhalls and Thrax friends And we'll all get drunk and brawl together. And I'll be happy to rp with you <3.

@Noodle-McDoodle Thrax culture is very much about keeping Thralls and being better than everyone else, which makes people see them as the typical 'bad guys'. It even says in the description that people love to hate them.

It's not so much an excuse or a desire to play an asshole character. That seems like stereotyping. Every game needs conflict, we can't all be nice to each other. We don't play Thrax's because we want to be assholes and get away with it. Also saying we're on par with demons/those serving demons is a bit extreme, we're not looking to hurt people. Hardcore Thraxians just see themselves as the shit, and are stuck in their ways.
