Ahh, ok sorry then mate.

No problem.

Back on topic... I think the most successful characters if you do not have an iron grasp on the world are the women. (pun intended with the word 'iron')
In my experience, they're quick to ascend to Leadership positions.. ie Felin Ginger..
In other people's experience, think of Mary Williams, or various business owners (I forget specific names) or that CKC leader.. I think it's a she... and that group that mass-produce bikes... Akypor something... I think they have a female leader... oh and Kwor's councilor Christine... so many!

I agree N-Aldwitch, such as with the Silver Queendom. And other such places with women in power.

I believe its possibly because male characters can follow a female better than another male because their ego's get in the way when they have another man telling them what to do. However, with a woman(such as a queen), they can develope a sincere respect and admiration for her because she is a woman, and they do not feel that she is stepping on their toes by asking them to do something.

I am sorry if that sounded a little confusing, I am having a hard time writing exactly what i am trying to say, but it just seems like the male characters would be more apt to risk their lives to protect their "lady" leader than to do it for another man...

That wasn't confusing at all. Although the place was a Kingdom at first, and no one had any problems with the King. Not even the person who was next in line to take the position of King. He didn't take it anyways.

But anyways, what you said made perfect sense.

Thanks. I am glad you understood.

I had a character San D'Oria back when King Jimmy King was ruling, and now I have a different character there while Queen Nora King is ruling. Although I respected and would have followed King Jimmy to my death if it was required, I feel alot more of a commitment and love for the Queen, and my character would not think twice to jump in front of a claymore for her.

I've had two characters in San d'Oria while King Jimmy King was there, and one of them lived to see the birth of the Queendom. They are both long dead, and now I have another character in the Silver Queendom who lives in Moku. And the funny thing is, all three of those charries spawned in those places.


And yes, my char is pretty loyal to the Queen, but living in Moku, he doesn't know her as well as one of my charries did.

King Jimmy King

Do you mean King Jimmy Carr?
Or is he another person?

[rconley]

Different person. King Jimmy King led the Silver Knights of Moku South before he died. (San D'Oria)
