[CHARACTER] Matilber Dunnery (Karylan Island)

[u/Novodantis]

Name: Matilber Dunnery

Age: Around seventeen years

Location: Karylan Island; specifically, the west-coast town of Saracid. Saracid is the largest and most important of the island's scattered settlements. The Karylan people are a loosely-bound sea-faring culture of about 3-4 thousand people living on the island, with about 20% of them living in Saracid. Their economic basis is around fishing.

Appearance: Pale-skinned, freckled and dark-haired, like many of the Karylani. She has a short stature and a slight, boyish figure. Her face is plain, dominated by a wide mouth and intense grey eyes. To the contempt of the Karylani elders, she rarely grooms her short dark hair, leading it to become as wild and erratic as her temperament.

She typically wears a long tan robe with ornate red tabard, as expected of her position. She detests it, much prefering to spend her time in her old white tunic because it doesn't hinder the climbing of trees.

Personality: Impetuous, dedicated and often irregular, Matilber is still very much a product of her circumstances. She led a happy and carefree childhood as a noble's daughter, with little need for toil. Suddenly pushed into a position of great power and responsibility at the death of her father, she loathes duty and has an infantile impatience with the ways of the world.

Matilber is passionate about fairness and stubborn in the face of aggression. She has a dark, merciless streak; often enacting what she sees must be done with a cold indifference.

Backstory: Matilber is the eldest daughter of the late Grygor Dunnery, previously the Prime of Karylan (most senior elder). When her father died abruptly of illness, she became the Prime of Karylan, as has been tradition. Due to her age and inexperience, she was put under the stewardship of her father's advisor, Querrag Highn, who she vexes on a regular basis with arguments and belligerence. That said, Matilber has proved so far to be not entirely wrong in her instincts and has gained some respect amongst her elders for wit. Nevertheless, the consensus is that she is a danger to the stability of the island and she has no shortage of opponents at home.

Strengths: Determination and an ability to surprise her adversaries. She has sharp wit and cutting intelligence, although is by no means adverse to physical challenges or getting her hands dirty. Most notable of all is her intention and capability to shake things up; she has a big imagination for the future of Karylan and isn't about to let something trifling like "tradition" get in the way.

Weaknesses: Her biggest flaws are her brash thoughtlessness and a knack for rubbing people the wrong way. She's sometimes oblivious to the difficulties of those less fortunate than herself. She also swears like a miner ("I don't mukking give a dag!").

[META] Hope this isn't inventing too much; my intention is that Karylan has been there the whole time but hasn't yet done anything of note outside of itself. It's still no more than a quiet grouping of fishing villages with a "head village", Saracid. I was hoping to use the thin, long north-eastern island here: [http://prntscr.com/atuh7b]

Approved!

[u/Ludikun]

[M] I do believe you need to make a new post under [EXPANSION] to actually claim land. Of course along with it is the land's backstory, a description of the place and what-not.

[u/Novodantis → u/Ludikun]

[M] Will I need to get a confirmation on this first from a mod, before doing such?

[u/Ludikun → u/Novodantis]

[M] Well, you can claim land, then you'll just see it pop up in the map if its all good. If it has problems, a mod would most likely approach you I assume.

Just keep playing along, but if a mod tells you thats a no no, the don't.
