Lord Buckethead Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Lord Augustus Fernsby hereby declares loyalty to the Crown of Corrington. Born to a wealthy family, Lord Fernsby was never the brightest of people and as such couldn't enter the prestigious field of Science as his Father wished. Whether his lack of intellect came from his alcohol problem or was inherited from his Mother, no one knows. When Augustus reached the age of 28 his Father had had enough, he managed to get Augustus a relatively high ranking position in the Corrington military, bought him a camel from a distant land, a stockpile of rum, a ship and sent him on his way. Unfortunately his Father forgot to have the ship licensed before passing away due to mysterious circumstances and now Augustus must save up his doubloons to get his ship licensed. For the time being Augustus leads an expedition across the Molokei Empire and the Middle Kingdoms. Edited July 13, 2017 by Lord Buckethead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilentWolf Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) I like the way this minifigure comes together! I look forward to seeing him out and about in the brick seas. @Bregir Micah of Wolfhaven is a merchant by trade, specializing in everything related to horses. He created a trade company with four of his friends named Wolf's Equine, Trading, and Expedition Company or WETEC for short. They have founded a colony, Elizabethville, in her Majesty's name on Lacryma, as the land is exceptional for raising and breeding horses, as well as training cavalry for her Majesty's service. He and his recently married wife are overseeing the progress on Lacryma, as well as exploring the fauna of the new islands. His partners are overseeing the other aspects of the WETEC.

blackdeathgr Posted July 8, 2017 @Lord Buckethead Great minifig parts selection and a very funny background story! I hope Augustus finds some money for his ship soon (and doesn't spend it all on booze ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tezclatipoca Posted July 8, 2017 @Lord Buckethead : welcome to the Brick Seas ! If your character has the time to stop by Elisabethtown, City of Eslandola, there is a great brewery of an excellent Applecider to try ! (no, no, I am not advertising... ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Buckethead Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Thank you I'm sure Augustus will be able to find the time to visit Elisabethtown, however do they serve any Rum with that Applecider. Edited July 9, 2017 by Lord Buckethead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostone Posted July 9, 2017 Just now, Lord Buckethead said: Thank you Just a quick question, I would like to participate in the EGS however I have a fort moc that I would like to use as a free build , just not in the EGS. Is it possible for me to participate in the EGS but still post this fort as a free build to get the reward? Go for it - just because you participate in the EGS you don't have to license everything you build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bregir Posted July 9, 2017 Lord Fernsby, Corrington welcomes you amongst its ranks. Might I suggest we coordinate the location of the fort, as it may have strategic importance? Also, I will add you to the Corrington PM. That should give you many nights of reading! ;) Although you might just want to skip to the most recent pages... :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bregir Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks, Mike, looks great! Also, I hope we can do a little more with the official positions of Corrington for era II. I have updated our org. chart a bit and hope that we can actively offer players advancement through this tree. All positions occupied for existing active players will be included as given, although there are many empty spots. If you have characters established as taking up any of these positions up to now, you are welcome to mention it here, or when era II is launched. I think I have most of you allready filled in (in the COR era II topic that you can't see yet ;) ) and there are descriptions and such for most posts. I will add that military ranks from post-captain/Major upwards by era II will be appointed by leadership if a military leader proves capable. So in that way, I am introducing a limit to your RP, you could say, but it won't be that hard to achieve. But this way we avoid someone coming in out of nowhere to claim superior rank, plus add in a sense of achievement (I hope ;) ) Hopefully we can use this to make Corrington take on more life and give our characters (not necessarily our sig figs) something to strive for. Feedback welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
