I seem post happy but bear with me dears....<br/><br/>We have the basic plot outline and ideas for characters. And we started character profiles. I did up the history and am working on the culture in depth a bit more for all of us but I do need a bit of help on some things. So please, ladies, as you have time respond to the questions in this post.<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Elemental colors - discussed with Grape and Kyrsa some, please comment on if you like the assigning or not.</span><br/><br/>Fire - Red    Earth - Green   Air - Pale Yellow    Water - Blue<br/><br/>Suggestions of what particular color among that spectrum you think would be best would be welcome as well, it will help with my art work designing the wheel posted in the post above.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">What colors should be the de Angelis sign/our theme</span><br/><br/>This is both for more art and also for coding in threads. I want to have colors that serve pretty much as heraldry.<br/><br/>I'm thinking a deep rich color would make sense, like royal purple, navy blue, dark red or hunter green. Then add in white and a chosen accent of either silver or gold. Conversely there's also at least the royal house's to think about and decide on though that lays mostly in Grape and Kyrsa's hands.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Personal Device/Badge/Heraldic emblem</span><br/><br/>Pretty much what is above just what symbolism we want for the family. I am thinking perhaps a winged lion, like the ones that are all over Venice or we could do a lily or something of the like that was Florence's symbol.<br/><br/>Conversely I could also draw something like I did for the calendar/wheel.<br/><br/>Oh and a motto perhaps....<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">The Setting</span><br/><br/>I'm fine with researching into the Guilds and setting that up mostly, listing the common ones and the like, figuring out the basic landmarks in the city. But I do want input.<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Please look at Florence and Venice during the Renaissance or later, even other cities as well and see if there's any particular landmarks you would think would make interesting additions. </li><li>I'm thinking there could be say eight to twelve noble houses that are major players, a set number as well as perhaps some name ideas and the like would be welcome. I want to do mini profiles of each so we can easily make NPCs from any house that might be needed in the future.  </li><li>The Temple. Since our story is so heavily tied to a Cardinal I figure we need to figure out the faith more. I'll look at ancient Rome and Byzantium likely for temple structure ideas and the like and make notes on the wiki but we haven't decided even who is in our pantheon and that is something that likely would need discussing. <br/>     We could do four major gods, one for each element and then lesser ones. Could also do perhaps two per element, male and female. Or the four mentioned and simply have a high king god in the manner of Zeus. Magic comes from them in this setting's views? Or not?</li></ul><br/><br/><br/>That's all for now >.> I hope I'm not a pest.
