Choice of Rebels: Uprising — Lead the revolt against a bloodthirsty empire!

Or you could be his. We’ll see which is more likely.

As for going undercover, one option is as an apothecary’s assistant. I’ve got to sort out the other possibilities, but I don’t think impersonating a noble is likely to be one–you wouldn’t have a good enough reason to go hang around for months in somebody else’s demesne. So fear not.

So the merchant class, eh? The assistant part is probably both to draw less attention and because mere assistants are less likely to be checked against guild membership lists, which is what our mc’s wouldn’t have.

Not joining up probably. My mc is very weary of the ruling class and doesn’t want to be treated as an animal again and he’s practically sure Sarcifer, having come from the highest echelons of the ruling class is hardly going to respect a former helot hedge-mage, like himself.

Poor Mara. She’s not going to like that.

Comme on Havie let Mara be a bard !!
Edit as full charisma with the bard origin story Bard is logical. I think each origin should have one that wil like players

How is Sarcifer pronounced?

I think Sar-Cipher

I didn’t say that. :slight_smile:

And there are no canon pronunciations in my games. Say it as you like.

How Sauce pan will try be near Mara? I mean she will try burn the heretic before Sauce end saying Theurge

I don’t think anyone is arguing that Calea is a better human being than Hector. It’s just that Calea isn’t a proven sadist. She hasn’t been shown to take joy in the suffering of others the way Hector has and there are several other reasons I can think of for her to have her helot lovers killed aside from a desire to see them suffer, That doesn’t make her a better person, or her crimes any less heinous, it just makes her a different sort of monster. And it’s possible for an aristo MC to have a somewhat positive if patronizing relationship with her unlike her brother. Furthermore, if the events of the story ever lead her to start thinking of helots as actual human beings like herself she may well become extremely remorseful regarding her past acts. As the more thoughtful, less reactionary of the two, I see her as having a significantly higher probability of evolving over the course of the story, especially if she falls hard for a helot MC and is forced by circumstances to spend a great deal of time living with the helots she’s been taught to objectify all her life.

Mara is in love for Hector and had a steam summer so I hope romance him Is i characteri found fascinating

He’s certainly an interesting character, but he’s blaming the MC for everything and doubling down on his hatred. I don’t see a way to reach him through all that.

In role Mara has no idea of that as she didn’t attack Hector and anything and she doesn’t believe her cousin. So Mara could Imagine she could conquest him. I agree with you though

Well you could take a sword (or arrow if you prefer a long distance thing) aim it at his heart and pierce it. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Out of all his former “masters” my mc hates Hector the most by far too. And that is saying something, considering his sister stole his first crush, Dann from him.

Heh, I think my mc might have secretly fantasized about tickling Ganelon with or without feathers as he had a huge crush on the cutie. :grin: Of course, we all know how that ends… :broken_heart:

On the other hand my mc never had a single pleasant thought about Hector.

You can say that again. As for a possible romance, I think an MC who has been pining for Hector for a long time could maybe break this invulnerable persona that he has going for him. I figure the Hector route would probably be slow and involve the MC allowing Hector to be more comfortable with his own vulnerabilities, both physical and emotional. But this is all a guess, maybe it plays out different. I just have this opinion that there’s more to him than what we’re seeing as players.

I mean, that’s still a maybe. In the games, getting a chance to get close to him might just be as difficult. I guess he’s one of the hardest romances, but I think there’s a way for him.

I really enjoyed the game,but all trough out as i was playing i aways wondered if one day Esme de Serin(My character) when she eventually topples the hegemony will be able to proclaim herself as queen or empress of the “Hegemeony”(Or whatever name they call it one day)

It is going to be weird that my Noble rebel will lack the skills necessary to impersonate a noble. I’m still not sure how this will play out but I do still have my reservations on what (little) I know now.

I’m going to assume that noble MCs will have difficulties impersonating a lower station just as much as the helot MC has troubles impersonating a higher station. Hilarity for both should result.

For a noble MC, the skills aren’t the problem. The rationale is.

There’s no good reason for a random noble to be hanging out where you’re going to be–and no particularly strong reason why a rebel lying low in the area for a while would choose to draw attention to themselves by adopting a noble alias, rather than a more plausible merchant/artisan visitor.
