Celtic Tribe RP

[Anaithnid Miuil]

Ireland before the time of the Christ-God, When the Tuatha still ruled the Pantheon. It is a time of warlords, chieftains, and shaman’s. It is a time of battle and the construction of hill forts, the settlement of lands and the dominance of clans. Far in the Lonely West reside two tribal families, Clan Hannah, and Clan Mornay. For many years the two tribes have lived in relative peace and prosperity but a hard winter is coming, and with it the tides of bandits, disease, famine, and war…


Whose side will you fall too. Where do your family allegiances lie? Are you a rogue? A warrior? A smith? A shaman? What do you offer to your tribe? How will you fare? Decide wisely… Winter is coming.

Stories have circulated about his insanity being born from when he saw his parents killed, others say when he crawled wounded through a bloody field passing body after body, some even guess it could have been one too many blows to the head from sparring. The rumors of his insanity span from just being overly enthusiastic, to being able to see into the future. The only thing for certain is he is now very rarely predictable.

Tribe: Mornay










Character Name: Llyd ap Dicter
Gaia User Name: Darth Titanus
Age:28
Position in tribe:Chieftain
Personality: Llew is kind to friends and family, but is wary of outsiders and is merciless in battle.
Weapons: hand-made spear with finely etched marking along the shaft and a sword with the endless knot etched into the blade.
Bio: Llyd ap Dicter was not always known as thus and earned this name in his duel to become chieftain with his brother. Llyd and his brother Meldron had been groomed since they were able to walk to be warriors. Their father was not chieftain but his brother, their uncle was. Meldron a few years older than Llyd, was able to challenge their uncle against their father's will. Meldron had won the battle, but it was really not a battle at all since the chieftain didn't even put up a fight. The man was getting old and he knew his time as chieftain was over. Meldron decapitated his uncle and displayed his head to the clan as if it was a great battle and Llyd despised his brother for this. Llyd bided his time training with his spear, choosing it over a sword and shield thinking it cowardly to hide behind such things. Once he was old enough he challenged his brother for the right to rule. Meldron didn't like that Llyd had challenged him and was going to tell him that it would not happen, but knew he couldn't or he would look cowardly and would lose the position of chieftain. So he said they would fight in a week and even that little bit made some think he was a coward. In that week he had many attempts to try and disable his brother in some way though most failed but he did manage to break Llyd's left foot, the foot which he put the most weight on in his fighting stance. The day finally came and both of them entered the circle from which most of the people living in the settlement had made. Llyd grimaced every time he put weight on his left foot and knew this fight would be difficult if not impossible with a broken foot, but he entered his stance despite the pain. The battle lasted a grueling hour and a half and many thought it would not end and both participants had sustained many wounds, but it was Llyd that struck last as he made a bold move and hurled his spear which would leave him defenseless, but his spear as he would say in the story was guided by Lugh god of light whom also was known as the mightiest of all spear-men. The spear flew true and struck his brother in the heart before he could react. But his name Llyd ap Dicter was given to him in this battle because Meldron had taunted Llyd many times and he grew angry and in this anger aimed and flung his spear letting out a roar as it left his hands. With that last blow he became chieftain and since has been fair and noble in his rule.
Tribe: Mornay

Character Name: Reverse
Gaia User Name: BeeBeeHeartsU
Age: 23
Position in tribe: Hunter
Personality: easy going normally but yells a lot and cries when she fails.
Weapons (if any): Bow & arrow
Bio: Reverse has five older brothers who challenged her to begin hunting at a very young age.
She followed their footsteps and now that they have been part of the war and died she will join to support her tribe.
Tribe: Hannah










Character Name: Delano Cian
Gaia User Name: Arsua
Age: 34
Position in tribe: Shaman
Personality: Delano is usually rather reserved, tending to his duties and his apprentice, teaching her his knowledge so that she can soon take his place as the tribe's shaman. The only time his subtle demeanor changes is for two reasons. His anger is finally piqued or he is in the face of the enemy. War runs in his blood, coupled with his mystical abilities, he was named as he was by his parents. It is hard having a child you cannot understand or help after all.
Weapons: (if any) Aside from his knowledge, he always wears a belt containing an assortment of minerals, plants, seeds, metals and other assorted knick knacks most would not understand. He also carries two long knives in case things end up in a worst case scenario.
Bio: Once his abilities were foretold by the shaman that preceded him, Delano's parents named him as they did, for their burden was not one that any would take from them. They could not hold pride in their childs strength or hunting abilities, he always seemed off in his own little world, wandering among the woods by himself, seemingly caught up in a conversation with the air or the trees. The elders had seen the actions before, but they could offer little help to Delano's parents, so he grew up learning how to be alone even in a crowd, while mastering his abilities. Leaving him with an extensive amount of knowledge and hardly any interpersonal skills.
Tribe: Hannah

Character Name: Tegid Tathal
Gaia User Name: Darth Titanus
Age: 47
Position in tribe: Smith
Personality: He seems grumpy all the time but that comes from teaching apprentices aspiring to be great smiths. He is quite stubborn thinking he knows more than anyone in his art of smithing, and this is partially true since in clan Hannah no one can form chain-mail links nor knit them together as tight as him. Nor is anyone's blades sharper and better tempered.
Weapons: (if any) none
Bio:Tegid is from a long line of smiths. He was taught by his father who was taught by his father and so on. The secret to his armor and weapons is in the forge mostly.(I won't go into it unless i take on an apprentice)Though some of its secrets can be seen in the armor and weapon. On the blades there is bronze forged just behind the edge and in the center of the blade for strengthening and it isn't bad to look at either. He is one of the richer people in the clan thanks to his weapons and armor which have been known to break lesser made weapons giving his clan an advantage in battle. He is the head smith now that his father has died and his family has the biggest forge in the clan which is known as the Rockforge.
Tribe: Hannah


Character Name: Vedran Talwin
Gaia User Name: Digital Trace
Age: 22 (12 thanks to neoteny issues)
Position In Tribe: Shaman
Personality: Contemplative, open minded, focused. Decent willpower for such a tiny fellow. Will occasionally dip into child-like attitudes for little to no reason.
Weapons:Typical dirk. Rosewood handle with honed steel blade.
Staff - Your average staff weapon. Made from the finest branch you can find on the ground!
Bio: Born to an estranged gardener who created what could be considered the most...well, to be honest, the garden was unremarkable. Sure, she thought it was neat, but in reality it was not. A few years after his birth and learning about the various plants, he managed to escape his home when his mother took a drastic downturn in the mental department, at which point she attempted to sacrifice him to summon a god to make her garden better. He managed to find himself in the village and made himself useful through medicinal aid, and getting surprisingly lucky in his scrying. So what if it was all intentionally vague? He got it right and that is really all that counts!.
Tribe: Mornay

Character Name: Lana, Mac Conraoi
Gaia User Name: Fayetaure
Age: 23
Position in tribe: Animal Handler/Hunter

Weapons: (if any) A hand made bow and a small knife
Bio: Ever since Lana was little her father knew she had a special gift, with animals always coming up to her without her even calling them. One day when Lana was six though he found out the extent of her gift. Him and Lana were out hunting when a wolf came out of no where, it growled and threatened to attack them. Lana's father got between her and the wolf, but Lana snuck around him and went straight up to the wolf. The wolf looked at Lana taking her all in than went over to her and rubbed up against her liking her face. She laughed than started playing with the wolf while her father just stood there in disbelief. Ever since that day Lana's father made sure she would end up with the tribes sacred animals. When Lana grew older she became rebellious and didn't listen to her father, she wanted to be free to do as she wished and didn't care about her position within the tribe. She only wanted to be out with the animals. When Lana was seventeen she did just that. She ran off eventually finding the wolf she had met so many years ago. The wolf took her to his pack, where she stayed for several years until finally she had heard her father had died. She felt horrible about leaving him so she returned to the tribe, but the pack followed her. She took up what her father had wanted her to and now takes care of the tribe's animals. Though when she gets a chance she heads out and runs with her wolves.

Daring members of Clan Hannah would sometimes raid their farm, but her father always managed to fend them off.
Then one year, when she was 16 years old, her father was wounded and died from the infection weeks later.

His brothers became his generals but they have all passed on now either in battle or from a natural cause. He has many wives and mistresses and thus he has many children. A thing not uncommon in clan Chieftains, his oldest child is named for himself and at the moment he is the heir apparent and his war chief. Since he no longer is able to lead from the front lines as he loved to do when he was younger he leaves that to his son while he directs all other aspects of the clans livelihood.

As he stood, finishing the last of his gruesome meal, a bolt of lightning, a sign from his lady, struck him. When he awoke, the village around him was smoldering, and he was blind. He was ordered to let the buildings burn, and live in sole seclusion for the Lady of Feast's word. He stalks the mountains, and rends any whom he finds.
Tribe: Last of the Children of Mithegr

[Anaithnid Miuil]

Clan Mornay has always prospered being strategically positioned on the steep sloping cliffs of the coast. Being in such close proximity with the ocean, Mornay has control over most trade to the Lonely West. Their prosperity however has made them over confident of their strength relying on their wealth rather than the strength of their walls. Mornay is renowned for its superior infantry units and large standing army boasting over 200 Men-at-Arms. Their Keep though is more a center for trade than an urban center of defense. The Mornay Chieftain holds lands stretching out from the ocean to the moorland where they border Clan Hannah. In between are several villages and small family bands.

Clan Hannah, unlike Mornay has never experienced a year without some form of famine, disease, or relative poverty. They make their home farther inland than Mornay and due to the harsh climate and unfertile land Hannah has always suffered during the cold months. Regardless of their standings financially, Clan Hannah has always stood proud refusing to stoop to any others and due to its light cavalry units and moderate chariot force they have risen to dominance over the surrounding hills and vales and now control all the local villages leading up to their border with Clan Mornay. Hannah has a standing army of less than 150 warriors, but their hill fort has strong, high walls and powerful gates.

Grania Dubhcroi
Grania sat by the sea cliffs playing her little tin whistle and listening to the wind, which held a stiff chill and dryness. Winter was on the way, it was a starving time and with it would bring the common war games between the clans as they all struggled for survival. She knew that her tribe would be looking for her and she did not even care when it came down to it, her mother was born to tribe Hannah and so she was bound to it. As her father would not bring her to his sidhe she was left to be a wandering soul in the mortal world. Grania's mother had died died giving birth to her, making many in the tribe look at her with suspicion and fear. Some said she was even cursed. She placed the whistle down on her lap and looked out at the sea, if only she was strong enough to swim away or could steal a boat she would leave this place.  

[Mx Kris Kringle]

Reverse opened the flap of her tent, the sun shone brightly.
Today was the day that she would go join the army, she was done with her mourning for her brothers.
After dressing, she put her arrow pouch on her back and picked up her bow, She thought a deer might start a friendship between her and the leader.  

[RedHairjoe]

The Shaman of Mornay

Cyric sat on the cliffs over looking the sea. He was sitting on a large flat rock and he was deep in meditation. Inhaling the salty taste of the sea. His mind stirred. A brief vision based before his mind's eyes.

A billowing storm was flying across the land showering all in icy rain and snow. All across the land trees and crops withered and died. Wolves began roaming the hills of the land and were clustered around doors and homes.

"Oh my.....What a vision......." Cyric said to himself. He raised himself from his platform and made his way to his village.
