The Sfoldcloak Family

The Sfoldcloaks have just awoken within the City of Rings. A merchant family from the Sea of Fallen Stars region, they are a bold and calculating group with a ruthless, Machiavellian take on business and power. Run by a mixed cadre of ambition, humility, 'to be good you must do some bad' mentality, I'm looking to get started on this tomorrow. I've made my PC, Piero Sfoldcloak. I am looking for players looking to possibly play a major role in the face of the family and make a lasting impact on the world, and make it a vision of several people, not just one. This is a group for people who would like to play as a member of a rising family, not a servant. I would like to grow that aspect of it in-game.

Recommended Alignment: Any but Lawful  or Neutral Good, but any alignment will find purpose
Recommended Class: Any non-druid, non-paladin
Recommended Race: Any

Looking for someone to play (as a main PC, not an alt) Piero's two brothers, who you will have full creative liberty on deciding anything to do with the characters. The only thing I'd enforce of course is that they are his brothers, either full or half (even a half-orc brother would be very cool and create a neat dynamic in the family, the scorned orcblood bastard brother who seeks to gain his place in the family). They are roughly around the same age and though memories are foggy, come from a family that was once very proud and rich but has fallen on very tough times. They seek to rise once more.

That is all I really ask for right now, unless anyone else is interested in joining up from the get go! Everything else will be built from the ground up and we'll see where it goes. Very spontaneous experience that I hope will bring both the Peerage and Ticker Square alive with some more player initiative.

My discord in the EFU chat is Leore. Message me there and I'll get back to you sooner! Let me know if you have any questions or if you're interested and we can do this. :)

For a general idea of what we would be doing as a family, and ideas for concepts:

A family scheming to gain membership and in the far-fetched future, a guild master position within Ticker Square. Machiavellian-esque plotting and power trips. Thuggery, crime, family affairs, political affairs.

Diplomacy with the Peerage. Finding a way to expand business and create a monopoly of something. Do business with the Adamantine Vault.

I dont want to spoil anything so I won't go any further into it, but just so you get the idea of what we'd be trying to do. The main point though is to give Ring Ninety-Nine a sort of mercantile villain faction trying to ruthlessly gain power and wealth. Employing ringrunners would be a big thing so they don't have to do it themselves.

Examples of concepts that would blend swimmingly with this;
A family member with their own agenda, whatever that means. I have to stress that the reason I want some family member PCs that aren't alts is because I do not want my PC alone to be the face of the family. I want things to be out of my control- I want us to have a very cool and wish-washy reputation because of its members, whether it ends up being good or bad. I want the family to be talked about not because of just my PC, but because of several PCs who are the face of the family and basically doing the classic 'father is dead, let's see how we can fuck his legacy'.

A henchman loyal to the family, who served their father. A father-figure who is looking out for them and tries his/her best to advise them on their approach and family affairs.

A childhood best friend of one of the brothers.

A cleric of some mercantile-esque god (Commercia, Tymora, Phanax, made up god) spreading his faith to the family and the city.

A merchant seeking union to better sale his wares.

Many more! Anything would work, really. Thanks for reading and I hope to see you guys in-game soon as Piero regardless whipping up some shenanigans.

This has my complete endorsement. Especially as something that isn't a headache to get into.
Literally, just hit up Tulwyn to let him know what kind of deranged Sfoldcloak you are and then jump IG!
