Leaders of the Principate - "The Triumvirate"

The Severian Principate is governed by a small elite, selected from the highest ranking members of their respective fields: International Diplomacy, Industry and Social Administration. These form the Triumvirate, which serves as a head of state and oversees the development of the Principate on a grand scale. While successors can be elected, the role was ultimately seen as a natural final step in a successful career.

Task

1. Create one of the three Triumvirs of the Severian Principate.

2. Members will be tasked with creating a Non-Player Character (NPC). There is a possibility that this character would become a part of the Severian Principate lore, canonizing their existence within the Brotherhood’s main storyline.

   • Using the provided NPC Template or your own preferred application of choice (Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, etc.) create an NPC Character Sheet.
   • Example: Kerwin Drake
   • Completed characters will feature up to six (6) unique traits (Aspects) and should detail their specializations (Discipline, Skills, Feats) and any other backstory or history you feel like adding.

Resources

• C-D4WG - Character Sheet Reference — Allows you to view all the information on Aspects, Skills, Feats, and more.
• You can use any of the pre-written Aspects here if you’re not comfortable creating Custom ones.
• Character Sheet Sandbox - Enables you to experiment with builds/skills. You can take a screenshot and attach the build, or transcribe for your template submission. You can find it on your admin page at the bottom of the "Character Sheet Administration" page.

Rules

• Created NPCs will be Non-Force Users.
• Created NPCs can be any rank between Equite 1 and Elder 1.
• Created NPCs should include as much detail as possible while following and adhering to the Character Sheet Guide and Approval Guidelines.
• Participants can optionally link an original or reference character image, just credit your source when doing so. Avatar creation tools like this one can be helpful.

How to Submit

• Participants will submit entries in .pdf, .doc, or .txt format.
  • If using the Google Docs template:
  • “File” → “Download as” → “PDF Document (.pdf).”
• Alternatively, members can submit a plain text submission to the competition by copy/pasting the following template:

* Name:
* Age:
* Height:
* Weight:
* Species:
* Path/Order/Rank:
* NFU Discipline:
* Character Traits (Aspects):
* Skills:
* Feats:
* Languages:
* Lore:
* Notes/Extra:

You are responsible for checking your own formatting, this is just a starting point.

Grading

• Entries will be graded on *completion, syntax, originality, and the quality of the writing used to create an interesting and well thought-out character. *
• Characters that get selected to be added will be created by the Voice staff as official NPCs, per the DB STory Group’s discretion.
• Qualifying NPCs that are added to the roster have the potential to be used in the future.
