:new:Update! So we've got 3 soldiers... but no kiddies! :ohnoes: Only just over 1 week to get your characters added guys, and don't forget that this counts for +2 stat points!

Hi guys!


Soo, after learning some new info about Silverthorne (Thanks Cactus-sis!), I figured it'd be cool to have a 'take your kid to work' day for Silverthorne soldiers! :la: 

Basically, we're here to give our youngsters a taste of what it's like to be a soldier. Sooo, General Eikthyrni has got together a troop of soldiers, and will be taking any fawns under the age of 5 (who have the permission of their mammas) on 'patrol' around the Silvervale and Winterflame. 

This is not about recruiting! Attending this doesn't make your fawn a soldier, it's just a way of encouraging military attendance. 

Yes, your female fawn will be allowed. In 'real life', they wouldn't be allowed - but to keep things fair for everyone, we'll let them come along so that they can learn discipline, and appreciate just how fantastic all those strong soldier stags are who protect them from nasties. 

But Leaky, what are we doing? 

A lineup, of sorts. There can certainly be RP responses to this (and you can totally feature Eik in them, so long as I get a small preview to make sure he's in character), but I won't be hosting an official mass RP. :) 

-Start with, at the very smallest, a 1000x1000pixel canvas. I'll be resizing the image depending on your fawn's (or soldier's) height, so we'd like to avoid quality loss Wink/Razz

-Save your image with a transparent background! VERY IMPORTANT. Will certainly make my life a lot easier! If you can't do this, let me know in advance and I'll see what I can do :) 

-Send me a link to the sta.sh file, and you're done! Dance!

Any pose is fine! Your fawn could be marching with dedication, goofing like a derp or nervously trotting alongside a parent. 

Yes, parents are allowed! Soldier parents can certainly come along as part of the patrol, though we'd rather not take too many civilians - otherwise we might have the whole herd parading around! You can also chuck your childless soldier at me, even if they have no kids, since Eik will have his hands full if he needs to look after them all by himself! 

Eik will have his antlers alight, so that fawns at the back don't lose sight of him, and they'll all be put on this image - Preview 2 by LeakyTrain

Is there a deadline?
Yes and no. I'd like images done by the 5th of June, gives you guys a whole month (or longer, if you don't live in the future like I do ;) ). 

But of course, I'm happy to update this for any late-comers. Though your fawn will have to be alive in Autumn 761, so no fawns from this current Rut :XD:

Do I get skill points?

Yes! 
This will be a canon piece, set in Autumn Year 761 at the Silvervale, so you'll be able to give +2 points to your fawn (or soldier). Personally, I'd put them in Stamina, as there will be lots of marching. But you could also do speed if they run around like an excitable derp.

Still confused?

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions. :) (Smile) 

Oh, and lastly! A few of us were thinking that the higher-level soldiers could 'mentor' a young fawn, to give them a good chance of acceptance into the army. If any of you are interested in this, just shoot us a note - we don't bite ;)
