[Stormborn] WAR OF BLOOD - Ronan Vs Ragnvard

[Tanakako]

Summary:
Ragnvard coveted the role of Captain. To win himself the title he plotted a murder most foul. Not with an honest challange, but through subterfuge and betrayal. Bringing about the death of Captain Arnljótr. An older, experienced and highly decorated Captain of the Stormborn.

To achieve this, the then Reaver Ragnvard quietly and skilfully worked on Arnljótr's reavers, through bribes or threats, driving many away and recruiting the rest to his own secret band. Eventually he had inserted enough reavers loyal to him into the group, the rest with Arnljótr being of no serious threat, that he felt confident in his plan. Thus when they next went out Viking, Ragnvard's own lions were the advance scouts. They discovered a small band of mixed cats (who later turned out to be from the Sith) and Ragnvard, instead of passing this warning on to his captain, blitherly advised that the best prizes lay in the self same direction.

When the band came upon the violent warriors, Ragnvard and his loyal reavers stayed back, leaving Arnljótr and those few still loyal to him to defend themselves, utterly alone.

Arnljótr was slain, but two reavers, Aksel and Ragnvard's own brother, Ronan, escaped. By the time they got back to the Stormborn, far behind the betrayers, Ragnvard had been voted in as Captain and his version of the battle had already been accepted as the truth.

The tension between the brothers had always been well known and any attempt Ronan made to reveal the truth was taken for jealously, as his brother had been made Captain and not him. Though of course the acusations were untrue it left Ronan bitter and angry. Not only had Ragnvard killed a good Captain, but he had claimed Arnljótr a coward at the very end.

Ronan and Aksel now train daily, and have joined up with Captain Lucivar's band of reavers. Waiting the day when Ragnvard reveals himself. And in the mean time, doing the best they can to defend other unwary lions from his evil attentions.  

[Tanakako]

He is a hard lion and rather cold hearted, one who embodies the warrior spirit. Tough and determined he lives for reaving. He is not wholly without emotion though and does sometimes take time out to unwind and relax about the pride, but during those periods he will often be found alone, disliking rowdy company and only tolorating a rare few. One being his war-brother Aksel.
Despite his antisocial demeanour he rigidly adheres to a private code of honour and will fight to the death to defend it.



Allies:

Aksel | Reaver
Aksel has been Ronan's war-brother since the two of them fought under the old Captain, Arnljótr. Having grown up and trained together the pair are a truly effective fighting team.
Aksel is the silent, stoic type, having very little to say to anyone, as he is the type who uses action in place of words. Has appointed himself as his sister's protector despite the fact she refuses to need one and often fights with him on the subject of his meddling.



Lucivar | Captain
Lucivar is a mature, confidenct and easy-going Captain who takes the future of his pride incredibly serious. He is often seen championing youngsters, guiding them through their training and taking them on their first Viking to become reavers. He is a solid, supportive pressence, forward-thinking and modern. And supports female reavers, having recently taken on training a young female freeborn.

He is caught up in the war between Ragnvard and Ronan, being Ronan's Captain. But so far he has stayed on the sidelines, keeping an eye on the other Captain and doing his best to protect freeborn females and all thralls from the male.



Lennart | Reaver
Lennart is not your average, brash, loud-mouthed Stormborn. When among friends he is a gentle, kind hearted male with an easy smile who would do almost anything for those close to him. He is honest, hard working, fair and always polite. He is currently in his friend Lucivar's war band and serves as the Captain's confidant and adviser.



Fenrir | Reaver
Son of the Captain he will be on the fringe of the war. A newly made reaver and the younger generation.





Svana | Reaver
Daughter of Brenning and Lyti, she joined Luicvar's band to earn her place as a Reaver in the pride. She and Fenrir will be training under Lucivar's direction and will go out on the bigger vikings.  

[Tanakako]

Ragnvard is a sharp-minded male, cunning and sly, possessing neither remorse or pity. A master tactician and skilled both as a straight up fighter and as a Captain. Charasmatic and charming when it suits him but capable of acts of incredible violence and destruction. To those loyal to him he is Master and Provider both, assuring his reavers never want for anything, be it food, thralls or fights. In return he demands obediance and dedication to their goals. He is heavily involved in the education of younger members, believing the strength of the pride lives in the future generations. He is a true Stormborn, living and adhering to the very heart of the Myrsky Syntynyt philosophy. Strength is all, weakness will not be tolerated.


Sister - Rayn | Reaver
Exceptionally smart, this lioness is known for her cunning and quick wit. She can read other lions easily and often uses her ability to manipulate them into doing things for her. Her skill at advanced battle stratagem is unparallel, making her an incredibly valuable asset to a reaving band. Though she lacks the brute strngth of most reavers, her sharp mind makes up for it. Her first loyalty is to herself and her pride, just as their parents taught them.
Though she was too young to have been involved in the original assassination attempt, being born of a later litter to her older brothers and sisters, she sided with Ragnvard upon entering adulthood, knowing that her ambitious red-coated brother would be able to carry her own carreer forwards more swiftly than her tacturn golden brother. A totally stratigic move for her own gain.
She will remain with Ragnvard's band until he finally meets someone he can't kill, then she will look for a new Captain to serve.


Aoife | Thrall
Shy and incredibly gentle. She was not cut out for life as a rogue.
Once Princess and heir in her home pride, her younger sister schemed to have her murdered, wishing both the crown and Aoife's betrothed. The attempt failed, but Aoife fled after narrowly avoiding being drowned, accompanied only by her Lady servant. The pair struggled to survive in the roguelands, but one day, while her companion was out hunting, Aoife was discovered by a Captain called Ragnvard and snatched as his prize.

Now she lives under his tyranical rule, his slave more than a thrall. She sees the very worst of Ragnvard. Currently falling for a newly-made Reaver and about to unwittingly bear his cubs.

Rieseln | Thrall (Owned by SilverLutz)
Personality/History biggrin espite her small size, Rieseln has a big personality. She's talkative and loves getting in to mischief, much like her father when he was young. She can be very sweet and caring, just like good ol' mom. Curious and playful, Ries wants to be friends with everyone and doesn't mind being the one to approach a face to get to know them. Her confidence sky-rocketed after she had a vision, since Seers are very highly prized in the Makono. While her confidence grew, her tolerance of pridal life dwindled, and she left to enjoy the adventure the rouge lands offered.

Rieseln was born in the rogue lands and joined a pride with her family when she was very young. Once she grew up she craved adventure and meeting new lions so she headed out into the rogue lands. She's had a litter - they're all adults - but doesn't keep in touch with them or their father at all. She's confident but far too trusting of others. I've been looking for a lion to take her as a Thrall, so maybe Ragnvard could be the one to find her and bring her back? I don't know if he keeps Thralls himself but I'd be fine with him taking her for himself. She's a Seer so maybe he'd find that something he'd want to have at his disposal.
Recruitment rp: Capture RP

Allies:

Samael | Reaver
Frankly, he is a bit of a d**k. He loves nothing better than beating up other reavers and picking on the odd thrall in his spare time. Of course he is a decent fighter but certainly not the best and he does get the stuffing beaten out of him every so often, but it doesn't seem to manage to change him or his ways. He firmly believes that the strong rule the weak and is more than happy to prove it.

Having been serving with Captain Luicvar, he has recently been approched by Ragnvard and has joined the dark-maned Captain on a kind of trial basis while he tries to work out if Ragnvard actually values his skills, or is just using him to weaken Luicvar.
Currently considered part of Ragnvard's war band.
Recruitment rp: Unexpected visitor


Iku-Turso (Turisas) | Reaver (Owned by Princess_Feylin)
Personality/History: Turisas is...warlike, to say the least. He's also decidedly malevolent. Not only does he enjoy inflicting suffering, he enjoys making certain that whatever suffering he inflicts will linger. To that end, he is one of the few Stormborn who actually applies poison to his claws before battle. It's not the kill-you-quicker kind. He does like music though, and has a powerful singing voice when he can be induced to sing. Born into the pride and raised to be a warrior, Turisas' life has not really been all that noteworthy. There was a bit of trouble during Aesir's rule about a few dead thralls, but he was sent to an outpost as punishment until he replaced them and then the matter was brought to a close. At the outpost he befriended Njal (before he returned and became warlord). He has a fairly extensive history of being a violent jerk, with the exception of when he's around the priestess Nadezhda, who turns him into kind of a simple-minded fool.
History with Ragnvard: I assume he would at least know of Ragnvard, but I'd love to discuss idea for how well they might know one another.
Recruitment rp needed? Yes


Tollak | Reaver (Owned by CaliWolfe)
Personality/History: Tollak isn't the nicest stormborn around, though he probably wouldn't even make the list of the meanest. Naive, and hot tempered it isn't all that hard to get onto the serious lion's nerves. He feels he has something to prove to the older reavers, having become one so quick, and can be seen issuing challenges to everyone to cross his path. He thinks blood is delicious. His current goal in life is to catch a thrall. He is ambitious to an extend and that side of him will make plans and plots with other reavers to be the best like no one ever was. Despite him being prone to mocking others Tollak holds female reavers in high respect, mainly in part due to his mother wishing to become one and having been the one to taught him how to fight. He is merciful but when angered will attack and feel no pity over it. Prime example being his brother, whom he so lovingly refers to as nerd and criticizes the most out of any stormborn. They got into a nasty fight and Tollak ended up partly blinding his brother and still doesn't feel sorry over it. Finally, Tollak became a reaver not long ago and is still rather young and childish. He'll follow orders as he respects captains and experienced reavers.
History with Ragnvard: He would have heard of him at the very least. I imagine he wouldn't have been there to see him become a captain but he would have heard stories about it.
Recruitment rp needed?: Words Mean Little...


Gavivi | [To be Reaver] (Owned by demonstration_evil)
Personality/History: Gavivi is an excellent lackey. Like, for real her purpose in life is more or less to hit things for someone smarter than she is. She's mean, she's tough, and if anyone needs a girl who'll get into a tussle for them she's your girl. I'm REALLY looking for a pride or something of the like where someone can be her "Boss"
History with Ragnvard: Recruited by him

Isqesis | [To be Reaver] (Owned by demonstration_evil)
Personality/History: Gavivi's daughter, she's just as tough, but about five times smarter. Where her mom goes, she'll likely follow

Kiunguza : (Owned by Velveteen Angel)
To be recruited by Ragnvard
Personality/History:A fast-to-temper female. She struggled for her father's affection her entire life, but due to her similarities to his own cruel father, she was shunned. This has given her a rather large chip on her shoulder for him, and she wants nothing more than to prove her worth to him.
She is a strong, capable fighter, but wants to improve her skills, and take a higher rank in the pride than merely a 'soldier'.
Despite her strict firekin ways, she has a soft spot for Huria. Having a huria brother, who also was a disappointment to her father, Kiun is not cruel to them. Rather, she is sympathetic, and often wants to help them train to survive life outside the pride.

Info:
Auðlín is sister to Aksel. Throughout all proceedings he has done his best to shield her from the brewing trouble with Ragnvard. But after the betrayal and the open knowladge of the brother's private war, he becomes even more protective of her, something that drives the independant female quite crazy. She takes to lecturing him about his interferance and then meets Ronan.

The two strike up a strange aquantence, which soon enough comes to Ragnvard's attention through his spies. Embarking on his own plan to seduce her to his own side, she becomes the prize in the brothers war. Though for his part Ronan is honest in his feelings, and his confusion as to what it is he feels for her. Where as Ragnvard sees her as a pawn and little else, but ends up falling for her when she so totally rebuffs him.  

[Tanakako]

FAMILY

Father - Hólmgeir | Reaver
Very traditional, stoic and steady. He holds the values of the pride in high esteam. A powerful male both physically and in personality, he is a stalwart of the pride. He believes males should be the protectors and providers of the pride and females should stay home and rear cubs and look after the pride's interior. He is not a bully but has little tolerance for misbehaviour. A stern and authorative father, husband and reaver.
Born into the pride he is a proper old school Stormborn and can trace his linage back through many generations.







Mother - Sóma | Freeborn
A traditionally minded Stormborn, she takes her duties as a freeborn and a mother very seriously. Nevertheless if her daughters show the guts and determination to become reavers, she will fully support them and has no trouble standing up to other members of the pride.
Sister to Brenna. She was born into the pride and can trace her linage back through many generations of Stormborn.






Aunt - Brenna | Freeborn/Bard
A classic Stormborn. Gutsy, proud and fearless. Sister to Sóma. She was born into the pride and can trace her linage back through many generations of Stormborn.







Brother - Raskogr | Lawspeaker
Weak, conniving, devious. From the same litter as Ragnvard and Ronan, he was third-born and the runt of the litter. Unlike his stronger brothers he never took to the reaver life. Instead he had a sharp mind and excellent memory. Combined with his sly and shrewd nature he took to life as a lawkeeper. While his father doesn't really care either way so long as his son is successful, Raskogr feels as if the entire family disapproves. Which has made him bitter and resentful. He and his brothers have never gotten along, Ronan treats him well enough but has his own concerns. Ragnvard will use him for his lawspeaker skills but the two brothers tend to clash when in close proximity. Ragnvard considers lawspeakers to be weak but dangerous, which strains their already tense relationship.





Sister - Vundi | Absent [Owned by Zosie]
She is currently in the Pridelands but will be returning to the Stormborn in the near future.











Sister - Rayn | Reaver
Exceptionally smart, this lioness is known for her cunning and quick wit. She can read other lions easily and often uses her ability to manipulate them into doing things for her. Her skill at advanced battle stratagem is unparallel, making her an incredibly valuable asset to a reaving band. Though she lacks the brute strngth of most reavers, her sharp mind makes up for it. Her first loyalty is to herself and her pride, just as their parents taught them.
Though she was too young to have been involved in the original assassination attempt, being born of the second litter to her older brothers and sisters, she sided with Ragnvard upon entering adulthood, knowing that her ambitious red-coated brother would be able to carry her own carreer forwards more swiftly than her tacturn golden brother. A totally stratigic move for her own gain.
She will remain with Ragnvard's band until he finally meets someone he can't kill, then she will look for a new Captain to serve.




Sister - Raija | Freeborn
Born in the couple's third litter. Like her name she is bright and sunny and completely imperious. A true little princess she knows what she wants and she isn't afraid to take it. She is also highly individual, despite coming from a very plain-coloured family this little female makes her voice heard loud and clear. Picking Ronan over Ragnvard as her favored brother she is the golden lion's loud-mouthed defender. But she takes after Ragnvard more than she does her other siblings, being smart and sly and willing to bend the rules to get what she wants. Thankfully for her parents she is a little more altruistic than her darker brother.

Others that will be around but not directly related to the War

Mwana | Thrall
Rescued by Luicvar and his band from a Sith attack during 'A-viking we will go', she has been taken in as Lucivar's thrall and is now the companion and guide for his blind mate, Mbali.





Kidogo'mlima | Freeborn
Known to Ragnvard, sometimes used as the Captain's dogs-body/messenger. Dogo dislikes Ragnvard and is constantly disgruntled when the bigger male makes him do things more suited to a thrall's status. But as of yet Ragnvard hasn't pushed hard enough to force the detached male to fight back.



Mbali | Freeborn (Owned by nessiaing)
Lucivar's blind wife. She probably wont be seen much as Lucivar keeps both her and Mwana away from the reavers, and the trouble between Ragnvard and Ronan.  

[Tanakako]

Future plots:

The great kidnapping: Ronan will eventually pair up with Audlin and the two will have a litter of cubs. Driven into a jealous rage not only by the fact that Audlin turned him down but also by the fact that she picked his brother over him, Ragnvard will launch an unplanned and ill-fated attempt to kidnap and murder the entire litter.


Demon spawn - Lilith: Daughter of Ragnvard and ex-demon Mari. She is a hellraiser and the apple of her dad's eye. She will cause plenty of trouble among the pride's males and be entirely unrepentant. Egged on by her father all the while.
* Will be looking for rp in the future

[Tanakako]

This thread is mostly just so I can keep track of the plot line and which rps go where and what rps I need to add. But evil loves company! (Or was that misery...? Either way..) and I would love to include anyone who wants to come play. There are a few scenes that will happen regardless, but the path to get to them can be as convoluted as needed!

That said, there are a few things I'd like to add to the plotline:

Wanted:

More reavers for both Captains

Flings for Ragnvard, with and without cubs.

Flings for any of them actually...

Anything... This plot began as a way to interweave the stories of all kinds of characters. If you think your character would have fun interfering, helping or simply watching from the sidelines, feel free to get stuck in. The more the merrier and the more involved, the bigger the opportunities for unexpected and interesting twists!

----------------------------------------------

And if anyone wants to add family members, I'm totally up for that! The parents are NPCs and don't really have much info on them Soma and Holmgeir. They are old-blood Stormborn, tough Individuals and fairly strict as parents, thought their mother dotes on all her cubs, even Roskogr. They would have expected all their kids to train even if they were not planning on being reavers. The girls were expected to stay home and raise their own families, but if they showed the grit and desire to fight, they would have certainly been encouraged to be reavers. The boys would have been expected to be reavers and highly encouraged towards trying for Captain.

 

[Tanakako]

Still filling in, but thread is open.

All open!!

Tanakako

-launches Stigtyr into thread with a cannon-
LAWSPEAKER HO.
Okay, well he's not an official lawspeaker yet, but he's an apprentice! Once my RP with Pinch is done he will be a fully fledged lawspeaker.

Anyways, as I mentioned earlier, Stigtyr doesn't like super mean reavers. Despises them, especially since his brother Tollak is one, the same brother who attacked him and blinded him in one eye. Though they've kinda disowned each other, Stigtyr keeps tabs on his brother through the gossip mill, and is not happy to have learned that Tollak has joined up with Ragnvard, a Captain whose reputation is well known to Stigtyr.
Stigtyr would jump at the chance to take a nasty horrid viking like Ragnvard down and make the pride a better place, especially if the rumors of Ragnvard killing his former captain prove true (which Stigtyr believes they will). Being able to kinda hurt his brother Tollak in the process is just icing on the cake.

SO: I'm offering Stigtyr as an ally. He's been keyed in to the pride's...information network, and can investigate rumors or find potential eyewitnesses to Ragnvard's crime, or even find blackmail on a witness to ensure they testify.
In addition he has met Mbali before, and though the RP isn't finished, she's the one that made Stigtyr stop moping about his one blind eye and be thankful he can still see out of the other.
He'll likely have heard of Lucivar and approve greatly of his methods.  

[Tanakako]

I would love for him to get involved!! Certainly Lucivar will welcome an alley who is a Lawspeaker.
It will be very difficult to find anyone to speak out against Ragnvard though. He was very careful to quietly get rid of anyone not on his side who may be strong enough to do so. Ronan tried when he got back from that battle and was instead discredited and he won't go that route again. Instead he is planning on besting Ran in battle. Likewise Aksel feels the same.
Stig will certainly be a thorn in Ran's side though. He's had it very easy so far, since Ronan's not been in a position to do much about him. Even with Lucivar's backing.

Would Stig have ways of tracking Ragnvard? I haven't yet got any way for Ronan to find his litter once they are kidnapped. If your boy is keeping tabs on Ran we could work out some kind of plot there?  

[Kaliforneum]

Tanakako

I'll answer with hopefully?
I'm going to try and get Stigtyr a pair of raven/general bird familiars, ya know, all Odin-style since he is missing an eye, and those will act as his eyes in the sky, keeping track of people he needs to.
Barring that. I do want him to have a small group of thralls (which he'll consider assistants, not slaves. He's not too big on that institution) that serve the same purpose.

Yay! I really hope you can get the birds. I'm trying for one for Ragnvard for much the same reason, so he can keep an eye on targets he's interested in. Could have a mini bird-war. XD


Did you want an rp with Ragnvard, for them to meet? Or just have him go straight to Ronan and Lucivar?  

[Kaliforneum]

Tanakako

HA. Bird war. OMG.

Um.....no preference? I don't think Stigtyr would try to confront Ragnvard without some form of evidence though. He tries to steer clear of reavers like that for his own safety. He'd really like to keep his one good eye.
Character-wise, it's more likely he's heard the rumors of Ragnvard and would go to Ronan and Lucivar to try and get their side of the story.  

[Tanakako]

X3. That sounds like a fun! Ronan will be pretty suspicious of him at first. But then, Ronan is suspicious of everyone. Lol
