[BLACK INK]

Welcome to an undisclosed location. It is a large land, which looks seemingly real. It seems, feels, and looks as if it were outdoors. Yet, there’s always that feeling of being watched. And of course, the new arrivals that don’t know why, or how, they came here. There are also the people, who always seem to be hiding something. Or those who live on the outskirts. The savages. The area you live in, is peaceful. Well, usually. The savages raid it every once in a while, and usually take groups of 100-5,000. Sometimes, they only take the children, other times, they take the old, or on the rare occasions, they take every age group. There is a large wall, which tries to keep The Savages out. It is to the North, and beyond it, is a constant and viscous winter.
The Savages, are human. But, they’re primitive. They use spears, and swords. And they don’t wear armor. They wear coats, to protect themselves from the winter. The Savages, have been banished from the land for… years, maybe. But, when they invade the land, they do so for months, if it’s a bad “cycle”. This time, they’ve been delayed by “The Watchers on the Wall”. But, at the cost of many of their own.
The criminals in your land, are given the choice to become “A Watcher”, or face punishment. They swear an oath, and become “Sworn Brothers”. It’s usually better than punishment. Although, they aren’t allowed to bear children. Or be with a woman. And only men can join.
In the south, there is modern technology, but no firearms. They cost too many resources. Instead, there are blades, and such. But, there are modern structures, and computers. And, there is a King. With houses below them. The current King, is of House Vigil. And, his Bastard Brother, is the Lord Commander of “The Watchers on the Wall”. They have a bad relationship, but The Watchers on the Wall, are loyal only to themselves. And will only raise arms, if they are attacked. Or they spot The Savages.
You, are one of the “Newlings”, and you awake in the infirmary of the Capital city. You learn all of these things, but you still don’t know why, or how you got here. You are sent off, and you get to know the world. You go, and join the faction, or house you want. And you fill out a simple application:

Quick question, what do you want for the "backstory" of a house? Also why did you name two of the houses after your two personas, Vigil and Vanguard?

1) Erm, for the Backstory, I basically want how the house came into existence. And how powerful they are. Like, military strength, and wealth. And such. And who the Lord is, and why. :3
2) Because, A) I had a lazy moment. B) I already had slight ideas how they'd act. :3

House Name: Pugolo
House Backstory:
Pugolo was started, when a girl rescued a stray female pug. The little girl was called Bella. Bella Palysor. She brought her up like a child, and in return, the pug loved, and obeyed the little girl. The pug was not very big, or scary, but she guarded Bella with her life.
When Bella was 16, she awoke in the infirmary of the Capital city of an island, still with the pug, that she decided to call Maple, Maple wouldn't leave Bella's side. When she wasn't accepted into any of the houses, she was forced to live outside, with Maple. More, and more people were being rejected, and came to live with Bella and Maple. That was when Bella decided to make her own house. The symbol was of Maple, and all of the people that joined Pugolo, respected, and even worshiped Maple. When Bella caught a deadly disease, Maple wouldn't leave Bella's bed. After months of being bedridden, the doctors finally found a cure, but it stills leaves Bella disabled, unable to do simple things by herself. The doctors say her time is near.
Now, Bella is 49, and still running Pugolo. Maple was given medicine, that somehow made her live longer, but she is old, but still puppy like.

INFO:
Pugolo's army, are many of the strong men, and dogs. The dogs sniff out bombs, dangers, and can tell when an enemy is near.
For weapons, they use dogs, and also have a supply of ranged weapons, mainly bows, in an underground base.
For guard dogs, and assistant dogs, Pugolo rescues stray dogs, instead of breeding, or buying them.
Pugolo isn't the richest, but they are not poor either. They have plenty of money hidden in a secret location, for emergencies.


House Sigil: A Pug.
House Motto: Don't breed or buy, while shelter pets die. or:
We stand up, while others cower.

Name: Maya Palysor
Age: 14
Appearance: Image
Backstory:
Maya's mother is Bella Palysor, the Pugolo leader. Growing up, surrounded by dogs, Maya developed a love for animals. Her passion was helping animals, and that earned her a job of training, and tending to the dogs of Pugolo. When Maple, the pug, had puppies, only one survived. Maya adopted her, and named her Muffles.
With her mother ill, and close to death, Maya helps run Pugolo, and is next in the reign of the Pugolo leader, meaning she will be the leader, when her mother dies.
Her father left when he found out that Bella was pregnant, but left a big sum of gold, behind, to help keep Pugolo going.
Occupation: Vet/ dog trainer
Who do you pledge allegiance to? [House <Blank> The Watchers] Pugolo, or Vigil, if Pugolo doesn't get accepted. ( By this, I think you mean what house I want to be in?)
How long have they been here? Her whole life.
Anything Else? nope.avi. Oh, except that Maya has a female pug called Muffles.

Name:Lord Damon Farrow
Age:34
Appearance:
Image
Backstory:Damon was a mere boy when the lord of the House of Loxley took him under his wing, he saw promise in the orphaned child and, after a long chase he braught Damon back to his keep, to bring up as one of his own.

After many long years, the lord passed away. In his will he gave his castle and his riches to Damon Farrow of Loxley, to whom he gave his title, power and privileges. Damon wept, for he was his onlt family, though not through blood. Damon emerged from his chamber after three days of mourning and went to king, set himself on on knee and pledged alegence to the realm, when the king promted him 'and to king' he said "i will follow a king if he follows the people but if he goes agenst those vows then he would find him an enemy" the Kng nodded gravely.

Without a word Damon traveled back to Loxley and ruled with a gentle but firm hand, hearing that the saveges looked to cross the wall he asked if any of him men would join the Knights watch and pledge their arrows and their blood. Many men did do so, forsaking their lives in Loxley, their friends and family to protect the wall. Damon himself traveled with them, they made him laugh and after they were gone he nearly cried.

Damon, after many years of joy, followed by many of sorrow, finnaly rose as man. He looked at the world in a new light. He saw all the suffering and all teh joy and he saw the dangers looming on the horizon.
Occupation: Lord of Loxley
Who do you pledge allegiance to? House Loxley
How long have they been here?Since the age of 6
Anything Else? He is an orphan, never met his mother but was lawfully
accepted and made a member of the House of Loxley, which he now rules

House Name:Loxley
House Backstory:When the kingdom was founded, from the ashes of war and deceit, The king looked for The small Keep of loxley for support. He realised their superior archers could win them victory. The (now) lord of Loxley, Lord Barromere Farrow, Accepted on one condition, he would be given a title as a lord and he would keep his land. The King accepted these terms, after long years of fighting the Kingdom was established, and the House of Loxley made official. It was then that the Lord of Loxley rose from the Cheifton of a village with a small mott and bailey to a Lord of the Realm.

Now the Keep of Loxley, a masterpeice of stone, sits on a large hill. It was built so that it could see over the land for miles and give the Men of loxley a clear view of any aggressors and the ability to fire arrows over 800 meters into the distance. They sit and practise their archery and tracking skills, waiting for when the people of the realm have need of them.
