Wee Bit About the Clan MacRoche
So ya wish ta know a wee bit more about us, do ya? Well, let me tell ya this; you will never find a stronger family in all the world than MacRoche. See, there was these two 'lings, Satan and Patrick, who got away from Ole Gob one day. Ole Gob is a nasty giant, 'e is. Well, these two ran away from the 'ell 'ole that was the Fae and ended up being brothers. Well, not brothers by blood but brothers by bond. Ever see that film Boondock Saints? Yeah, they kinda like that only with a Scottish accent.
So, this Clan MacRoche forms up taking in lost 'ling and watchin the Hedge for trouble. Every once in a while we all get together in some city and get ripped celebrating our new family. Course that usually leads to some brilliant idea that gets us in trouble. Whats life without a wee bit 'o trouble now and then.
You know what some call us? Loud. Annoying. Trouble. Course ask those that matter; the ones we helped out. They call us guardians, protectors, white hats. See, thats what we really be. Be our loud natures that ya see but we ain't letting another 'ling fall to the Fae and we ain't letting one lose hope when they coming out 'o the Hedge. We be there watching and laughing making sure they know that they be OK now.
Pledge
Grunt, gold and gristle: This is our promise. All that we have, and all that we are till we meet again next year.
Kin
Satan MacRoche - The Other Brother. Quick to fight, quick to forgive. His Kilt has gone rogue.
Patrick "Pat" MacRoche - The jolly kilt wearing protector of the clan. Paragon of Inebrity
Sharon MacRoche - Wizened Oracle. She saw what you did there.
Nicolas Jasinski - A bit of the black sheep (or the good one - take your pick), sticking to books and dreams. (Fending off the name Criminey as best he can, preferring Caimen)
Fancy MacRoche - The jury's still out on the "good witch/bad witch" question. Shameless redhead, incorrigible flirt.
Faylin MacRoche - You know what they say about men with big teeth and big hands...
Robin MacRoche - The wandering one, she's ended up as an orderly at The Pit. Good with animals, better with bar fights.
OOC Recruitment
So ya want to be in MacRoche, do ya? Well, I 'ave to tell ya. Its not easy being in MacRoche!
Clan MacRoche are the shield walls and guardians. Think back to all the movies and anime that you have seen with the one guy who stands bloody and laughing at the enemy to give time for the rest to escape. Thats who we are. Clan MacRoche is an injection of some bawdy and gallows humor into the venue. They are not clowns, except in the Pagliacci sense. Players looking to join Clan MacRoche should keep to concepts that hide their weakness through being gregarious and self-sacrificing. Be prepared to take an Oath as a member of the Clan, and Proxy to other storytellers and domains regularly.
You must have an innuendo or comedic name. Ex: Pat MacRoche, Satan MacRoche. Ogres are "brothers" (You should have a kilt or tartan sash. Any plaid will do - the louder the better), non-Ogres are "cousins" (Tartan not required, but it would be cool). Role playing is a must. Please be aware, that for your PC to have *real* (and cool!) Scottish origins - You need to contact the NST for Scotland.
