GROUP COAT OF ARMS — AN INTEREST CHECK .

[Cas]

I love the idea! I can't speak for the other groups as I don't rp in them, but for the badlands I could definitely imagine the crest being either a fox or a snake with a dagger on it.

edit: would this apply to los santos too?

sorry i didn't say anything earlier! been suffering from a migraine. ves' symbol animal is a wolf, but maybe something more in-tune with the los santos theme would do. i'll take a scroll on pinterest for some ideas and report back, but for now i am tracking!

Inspired by a conversation earlier today, I had a thought which was quite interesting: what if groups in TNW started to develop their own coat of arms to show their allegiance to their group? Think the way the Hogwarts houses have their own crests, or the families in GoT have their heraldry. An animal or something that represents the group as a whole! Would people be interested in developing this as an idea with me?

If people are interested, I'd love to hear what symbols you can imagine being a group's heraldic bearing! And, if we gather up enough ideas for each group, I could perhaps create a poll to decide on the winner for each group's new coat of arms design!

So, I personally like the idea as it will further create that apparent loyalty people have to their group. The bearing can be designed in a way where it's put on clothing for representatives to identify themselves, or put on weapons or flags to show what's theirs. As for the designs itself, these were the ideas I thought of. For Los Santos, I felt it ought to be up to the group leader to decide if they wanted the group to have a coat of arms and, if so, what design, so that's why I've not included them here!

Flintlock: I imagine a stag, wolf or bear
Badlands: I imagine a lion or snake and knife
Bluestem: I imagine a horse, an eagle or a ram
Northstar: I imagine otter, barracuda or heron

So. I'd be grateful to hear your guys' opinions on this! I know it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but I think it would be fun if groups have smth to represent themselves by!

I can totally picture those crests for the groups! They fit so well and I love that about them, but ofc it’s up to the group leaders if they want to participate (so basically just you and Timothy lmao)

I do think all of the groups adapting these should make IC sense...? Like are they all going to do it at the same time or is one going to start it and everyone else will follow? Would it be IC of a leader to want to implement these or would they not really care about it? It’s not a big deal tbh, I just figured that should be taken into account ^^

i adore this idea. ive already expressed that. but, i also agree with beats! it makes ic sense, probably more so of one group doing it and others following suit and encouraging group pride and making them more easily identifiable.

for fl, i see a stag or bear fits best
bl, probably a snake imo
bp strikes me as a horse
then nd, an otter is so fucking cute n kinda fits w their ideals

i really like this idea, it's hard to put into words why though, regardless, i think it's a good idea. i'll try and write up something about it, but right now my head kinda hurts.
