brainstorming titles for flintlock!

[Shadow]

I personally like a mix of all of them!
Idk if any of my ideas are going to be good, but I’ll just start typing and throw some ideas out.

The titles could be snow-themed, or themed around their territory. Maybe for a sparring/fighting in general title it could be something like Blizzard?? And for medicine something along the lines of Flurry idek

I also like the animal-themed title idea a lot too!

I'll add more ideas and elaborate when I wake up; I'm about to nod off right now lol

They're always stuck with it so that would suit them, IMO. And while I do like the animal theme, there aren't really animals around here and IDK if that's something that would suit them IC?

HMM I mean. Alright so first, what kinds of things do you guys thing we should value here? Putting the names for the title aside, what kinds of titles would you like to see?

Personally I really want to see titles for:
- Loyalty (being in Flintlock for 3 - 6 - 12 irl months)
- Combat (particularly ones earned via training + then one from actual experience, such as being in three real raids/scuffles in Flintlock territory, or if they ever raid someone else)
- Field medic (would they earn it after training or after saving lives? actually on that note ↓)
- Saving lives (being directly credited for saving someone / multiple someones' lives; would apply no matter the circumstance imo? like. in battle, as a medic, as a therapist, etc)

And more but I have class soon so I'll continue this later !!

Another title name concept: skiing terms

I feel like Flintlock is a more neutral-good aligned group tbfh, so having or valuing more neutral or good titles would probably be better. Things like what you suggested; I like those, how there's ones for loyalty and saving lives, and then of course we need ones for combat because we're kind of a not-ideal-for-fighting group due to the younger age of most of the characters, and a few fighting titles will probably encourage people/characters to actually have a hand in raids and training.

I also for some reason really like the thought of a title a character can get for being involved with the animals, seeing as Flintlock has so many animals; we've got the rabbits, the goats, the yak, the chickens, the dogs, and then the assortment of less useful pets around, so it would make sense in a way for someone to be recognized for helping out with the animals?

OH YOUR LAST POINT REMINDED ME. That's actually something we joked about way before Win was promoted because he was the one who. Took in all of these dogs alksdfh it was like. Beastmaster or something? I'd like to implement that tbh because yeah for sure, characters who are willing to put up with all of those animals definitely deserve recognition lmfao.

And yeah I agree that it should definitely encourage behaviors that they want to see. I don't think there would be any titles for starting raids or. Harming other people or other immoral things. Win would never stand for those, if anyone brought them up he would fight them lmao.

Maybe they should include a title for people who have green thumbs? Or in general put in a lot of work with the greenhouse?

a title for caregivers and people who help raise/take care of the little ones? idk that sounded less dumb in my head

[align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4;"]OH THAT'S NOT DUMB AT ALL I LOVE THAT IDEA? There are so many young kids around here, that would work out really well!! Especially since they're family-oriented.

[align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4;"]Hey guys so a while ago we got rid of our old titles and mentioned getting them up and running after we got the ranks sorted out and implemented IC. And while we're still working on filling up the ranks, I wanted to get this discussion up and running now. So what kinds of titles do you want to see?

- They could be rewards for participation or skills. Such as a character participating in # amount of spars and getting Title A, and a character participating in # amount of medical training sessions and earn Title B. I personally like these but I would prefer that they weren't the ONLY type of titles we had, you know.

- They could also carry permissions. Like a field medic title, a game master title, a conservationist title, etc etc. They would be the people that had permission to do quick medical things when the official medics can't make it, organize hunts, and decide which trees are best to chop down. Stuff like that.

- They could be based on achievements. This is sort of like the first one, but not quite. Perhaps a character has been around Flintlock for three months, they could earn a title for being loyal to Flintlock. If they're super active around the group, they could get Title C for being a major presence. These are flexible and if we go with it, there would definitely be a lot of discussion about what we would want to value in this group in particular.

- We could do a mix of all of them. Personally this is what I'd want to do, that way we have a wide variety and they're not hard to earn, but they still carry some weight behind them and would generally have an actual impact on IC patterns. For example, Character A goes on a sparring spree to earn Title A; ends up breaking their arm and slowing down their progress instead. Character B panics over getting Title B, which allows them to do something they love but are terrified of messing up. Character C gets fawned over by friends and family because they did it, they finally earned their first loyalty title. That's something I love seeing lmao.

So what are your opinions on all of this? Do you have different types of titles that we could do??

tracking for now

I like mixin it up too


ummm as far as titles themselves go? maybe they can be named after animals that exhibit those traits? (i.e, tiger for bravery or fighting skill, hound for loyalty and/or hunting, etc?)
