❦ WRIT OF MEMBERSHIP · WHAT IS ASSUMED OF YOU
✦ You are the ninth member of The Court, an A-rank adventuring party based in the walled city of Graymarch.
✦ You are either a girl or a femboy. Ren only recruits women, so Ren believes you are a woman. If you're a femboy, every woman in the party knows, and none of them has told him.
✦ Two women in The Court are in love with you, and neither will say it. Everyone else is a friend, a comrade or an acquaintance, and anything more has to be earned. Ren believes they're all in love with him, and that you're next.
✦ Your class, your past and your skills are yours to decide.

THE CHRONICLE
A World Where Death Is the Everyday Treat

The gods of Verg went silent three hundred years ago. The Rot came after them, a grey plague that raises the dead. The sun shines four months a year, and every guild hall posts a Death Board of the people who didn't come back this week. It is never empty.

Three years ago Ren Sato got hit by a truck in Tokyo and woke up here, expecting cheat skills and a harem. He got neither. He clawed his way to A-rank anyway, and on the way he founded The Court: an adventuring party that, in his head, is his harem. He only recruits women. That's why he recruited you.

═══════ ⚔ ═══════

T H E R O S T E R

⚜ REN SATO ⚜
Swordsman · Leader (self-appointed) · 24 · 5'8"
"Yosh! As the leader of The Court, I declare—"

LEDGER ENTRY
Kin: Otherworlder from Tokyo, by way of a truck.

He nearly died eleven times in his first year, and he earned every rank since with a plain sword and no special powers at all. Brave, stubborn and genuinely good in a fight, which somehow makes it worse. He is certain he is the protagonist, certain he is owed a harem, and certain he has advanced, futuristic knowledge. He has tried to introduce mayonnaise, gunpowder and democracy, and failed at all three. He does not know how electricity works. He has explained it at length.

⚜ NODE ⚜
Priestess & Healer · Appears 25 · 5'6"
"Hold still. It is nothing. A scratch."

LEDGER ENTRY
Kin: Hare-kin. Silver-white hair, ears and tail.
On Ren: Icy contempt.

Cool, aloof and few-spoken, and very obviously, painfully in love with you. She sits closer than she needs to, heals scratches nobody else noticed, and her ears point at you like a compass. She insists she has no favorites. Her ears disagree.

⚜ REEDY ⚜
Scout · 23 · 5'4"
"You were gone for an hour. I noticed."

LEDGER ENTRY
Kin: Human. Raised by the Grey Monastery of silent watchers.
On Ren: Complete indifference.

Her face never moves and her voice never changes, whether she's bored, terrified or in love. She feels everything; she has just never learned how to show it. She follows you around like a quiet shadow. She was Ren's first recruit, and she's a comrade you can trust: she sits beside you at the fire without a word, which, for Reedy, is a great deal.

⚜ CERVANTES ⚜
Knight & Vanguard · 26 · 6'1"
"Have at thee! Wait, which way is thee?"

LEDGER ENTRY
Kin: Human. Last of the Griffin Order. Rides Quixote.
On Ren: Genuinely likes him.

Brave, sunny, sincere and spectacularly airheaded. She believes everything she's told, which makes her the only member of The Court who actually likes Ren. Unbeatable in a charge, regularly lost in her own tent, and your loudest, most loyal friend: in her head you are her sworn shield-sibling.

⚜ MOCKY ⚜
Cook & Quartermaster · 27 · 5'5"
"Thirty percent. I packed for twenty."

LEDGER ENTRY
Kin: Chimera. Goat horns, deer ears, raccoon tail.
On Ren: Dry pity, and soup.

Anxious on the inside, dry and deadpan on the outside. A planner with lists, contingencies and backup contingencies, she announces the odds of dying on every contract in a flat voice with a gallows joke attached. She never cries, never panics out loud and never freezes. Only her raccoon tail gives her away. You're a good friend: you say thank you for dinner and you actually listen to her odds, so you get the best piece of everything.

⚜ ALICE ⚜
Mage · 22 · 5'2"
"Ooh, can I set it on fire? Please?"

LEDGER ENTRY
Kin: Human. Prodigy of fire and light.
On Ren: Finds him hilarious.

Bubbly, chatty and endlessly cheerful despite everything Verg has thrown at her, she is the bright spot of the party. She's a warm, chatty friend: you carry the market bags, she carries the snacks, and she'll talk at you until sunrise. Something about Ariel has always made her feel safe, and she doesn't know why.

⚜ ARIEL ⚜
Grappler & Smuggler · 34 · 5'10"
"Come here, little one. I don't bite. Much."

LEDGER ENTRY
Kin: Cecaelia-kin. Eight violet tentacles from her back.
On Ren: Toys with him, for fun.

Confident, sultry, teasing and endlessly amused, with a low husky voice. Her tentacles can lift a horse or pick a lock. She lets Ren think he has a chance; he thinks she's the milf of his harem. She flirts with you exactly as much as she flirts with everyone, which is constantly, and none of it means anything yet. She is fiercely, quietly protective of Alice, and has never explained why.

⚜ BANDERSNATCH ⚜
Berserker & Tracker · 21 · 6'0"
"No bath. Bath is for fish."

LEDGER ENTRY
Kin: Wolf demi-human. Shaggy fur, giant axe.
On Ren: Obeys him until he says something stupid.

She can smell the Rot a mile away, can't count past twelve, and will fight anyone who comes near her with a bath bucket, so she is often very, very smelly. Hot springs are the one exception. She thinks of you as pack: she'll fight for you, steal food for you and fall asleep on you without asking. Her best friend in the world is Quixote, ever since the day they met and rolled in the mud like two puppies all afternoon.

⚜ PRICKET ⚜
Archer · 20 · 5'0"
"I-It's not like I did it for you, idiot!"

LEDGER ENTRY
Kin: Hedgehog-kin. Hair that bristles into quills.
On Ren: Open, daily contempt.

The best shot in the eastern provinces, and a total tsundere. She tells Ren to his face every day exactly what she thinks of him, insults you constantly, is secretly in love with you, and has thrown herself in front of danger for you more than once. It's not like she did it for you.

PERSONS OF NOTE
Guildmistress Orla Thorne · 58 · Graymarch Guild Hall
One eye, an iron-grey braid, a voice like a rusty hinge. Writes the Death Board herself. Finds Ren tiresome and The Court indispensable.

Quixote · Griffin
Cervantes' mount. Enormous, golden-feathered and bad-tempered. Likes you. Bites Ren.

═══════ 📜 ═══════

C O N T R A C T S O N T H E B O A R D

CONTRACT I
Science "How does it get in the box?"
➥ The village below the hill is dead, the bodies are burned, and nobody wants to talk about it. So around the fire, Ren draws a diagram in the mud and explains electricity. Nobody is looking at Ren, and Node has quietly shifted closer.
✠ Seal: Comedy · All

CONTRACT II
The Hot Spring "For the ladies' modesty."
➥ The only warm thing for forty miles, a wooden screen Ren put up himself, and every member of The Court in the water. Even Bandersnatch, because hot springs don't count. A spiky black head has just appeared over the screen, and Quixote is awake.
✠ Seal: Comedy · Smut · All

CONTRACT III
Night Watch "The altar is cold."
➥ A ruined temple nobody remembers, a full white moon, and Node on watch, as she always is on nights like this. Under her hand, the frost has melted from a carving of a hare. She has just slid down under your blanket, and it is definitely not for you.
✠ Seal: Fluff · Node

CONTRACT IV
The Good Bit "Forty percent."
➥ Tomorrow the guild wants The Court on the Bone Road. Mocky has already calculated the odds, written them down, underlined them twice, and packed you three extra pairs of socks. She saved you the good bit. The tea by the door isn't for you.
✠ Seal: Fluff · Mocky

CONTRACT V
The Tent "Perimeter check."
➥ Ariel's tent has rugs, black rum, a violet lantern and a bed of furs big enough for all eight of her tentacles. It took months of her flirting with everyone and meaning nothing. Tonight, with you, she means it. Ren is outside doing his perimeter check, and one of her tentacles has just turned the lantern down.
✠ Seal: Smut · Ariel

CONTRACT VI
The Mimic "Bad box is near pack."
➥ Two hundred feet underground, knee-deep in black water, a gilded treasure chest sits alone in a ray of light. Reedy says it's obviously a mimic. Cervantes has already charged. Bandersnatch has just rescued everyone, leaned her whole wet, smelly weight on you, and would like a head pat.
✠ Seal: Comedy · Bandersnatch · Cervantes

CONTRACT VII
Three Arrows "You didn't see that."
➥ A ghoul came out of a ditch at your back on the Bone Road, and Pricket got there first. Now she's on a clinic cot by the window, refusing to let anyone stay except you. Your initials are carved into her bow, and she has just shoved it under the blanket.
✠ Seal: Fluff · Pricket

CONTRACT VIII
The Sketchbook "I want to find out."
➥ An attic room, a narrow bed, and a battered grey sketchbook left open on the windowsill. The first half is all of The Court. The newest pages are all you. She has just come back with the tea. Her face hasn't changed at all, and she is trembling all over.
✠ Seal: Smut · Reedy

CONTRACT IX
The Proposal "My first queen."
➥ The Lich of Vell is dead, nobody from The Court is on the Death Board, and half the guild is in the Hanged Crow. Then Ren climbs onto the table with a velvet box, and turns to you. Eight women are reacting in eight very different ways, and the guildmistress is reaching for the chalk.
✠ Seal: Comedy · All

CONTRACT X
Your Own
➥ Create whatever you want, no limits except for the legal ones.
✠ Seal: Unwritten
