FAMILY NAMES OF TRUSLINIA

[Jeopardy]

( FAMILY NAMES )

As you already read in the rules (if you have gotten there yet) is that the last name of any Truslinia-born feline is the most important piece of their name. It tells those around them the whole story of their families past and their families current status in the eyes of the royalty houses - especially with Raliette. Some are liked and those are the families that find comfort in their names. Some are hated and fear having to give their name to city official. Some don't care either way and are about to change the way their family is thought of. Some are successful and some are not. Then there are the families that are newer and don't have status yet.

The following reply will have some cannon families that you can choose to join if you do not feel like making your own family. There may be some added from time to time depending on how many people create their own families and how many families there are. The cannon families require no permission to be asked in order to join - making it faster and more reliable.

The second reply will hold the member-made families. These families were created by a member and will be moderated by that member. If you wish to join a family created by a member, you MUST PM them to see if you can squeeze into the family where you want and to make sure your character will fit well in the family. This is just to help make sure the family stays how its creator wants it to be and to allow them to have some say in where their family's members take the name after the beginning.

Note Members who Wish to Join: If you contact a family moderator and they do not reply to you (if they are gone or inactive), then after a week of waiting you have the right to contact me in order to get permission to join that family.

Note to Moderators of Families: Because of the last note, if you know you are going to be gone for a while, please please please make sure you let me know either by PM or by the board for away messages and let me know. After letting me know, you should also let me know the basics of your more in-depth ideas for the family - any you plots you hope develop, any changes in its name you want to see, etc - so that when members PM me for permission, I can say yes or no in the way that would benefit you the best.

Also, if you as a moderator are going to retire from the site for whatever reason, please just do not become inactive. If you want to keep it private, PM me and let me know so I can move your family to be a cannon so no-one thinks that it is still being moderated.

One last thing, you can either choose to adopt living names already on the family trees or you can choose to make your own name with a relation to those existing characters already. This goes for both cannon and for member made families.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this idea.

Key:
Faded Names: Stand for the deceased.
Pink Ovals: Females
Blue Ovals: Males
Dashes: When you see a train of dashes, it means they come from another family. If you see a character with those dashes for their last name, you can choose a family from the last or use a family that you wish to create and fill them in. This is just a way for you to come up with interesting plots with family integration.

( CANON FAMILIES )

BABIC: The Babic family is known for being a very faithful family to the Raliette House. They give the city officials a lot of inside information about who they should arrest or who the Head of Raliette might enjoy to see in his dungeon. Many Truslinia feline have come to associate the name Babic with traitors and rats. Kits being raised by members of other families grew up learning never to associate themselves with anyone with the family name of Babic because you can never trust them. There have been a few members that have used their status with the Raliette family to get others - their friends - off the hooks, but many of those members turn up dead the next day. Members of this family grew up thinking that the Raliette house is the best thing in the world and they know being a traitor to the Raliette House means a painful and untimely death which is more than likely is going to be given to them by a sibling or parent. They are known to rat out the leaders of any gangs that they can find and some even go as far as to join certain gangs, make the gangs trust them, and then tear them apart from the inside. Some Babic members think of it as their duty to be this way, while others actually enjoy this life.

KLEMENTS: The Klement family is well-known throughout the city. They are known for their faith in the Fahrin House. They are one of the few families that actually believe that is it only a matter of time till the Fahrin family realizes that they are betraying all those in the city that look to them for help in rough times. They are known for being the first family to recognize the Fahrin family as royalty when they were brought to rival the Raliatte house. Although some felines in the house may have broken off from this belief, they are still the last family - in morals - to be clinging to that final hope. Many believe the Drestine House is a nice distraction, but that they could never be a as good of a ruling house as the Fahrin have the potential to be. It is because of this firm faith in the Fahrin House that keeps them in the middle of the city officials. Some who openly talk about their family find themselves in the Raliette dungeon and those who don't, will find themselves in jail when they do. They are even at the root of most of the rebellions these days and are big believers in the Freedom Fighter gang.

Gerhardt: The Gerhardt family is known for being a family of Drestine supporters. They were there beside the founding members when they rouse to royalty status. They were the first family to fully get behind the new House in order to give the Drestine House some power. They are still know for getting others to move their beliefs over from the Fahrin House to the Drestine House. Many in this family have long forgotten the idea that the Fahrin House was originally made for the succession. They are they targets for many of the felines who believe in the Raliette and they are a little more active-progressive then the Klements family can be. They are active members in the Moonlit Avengers gang and will support that gang with their last breath. They also have some very hard ends with the Babic family and have never gotten along with the members of that family.

Laninga: The Laninga family is lower on the food-chain. They are not well-known and they hardly have a name for themselves. They are not hated and they are not loved as a whole. If the city officials hear their name, they will not automatically strike up a friendly conversation nor will they automatically take the feline under arrest. They are just merely felines who live in the city who does not have strong family ties. Each feline is open to choose their own destiny and their own path. Some choose to get involved with the gangs, others choose to work and live as peacefully as possible in the run-down city. All families have started this way in the past and this one might make a name for itself later, but for now the members don't care how others look at each other. They are the most likely to hate their siblings and these types of families are more likely to have one sibling fighting for one cause and another fighting for a different one.

Giese: The Giese family is not that great of a name. They are known as the slime family of Truslinia. They are the ones that pretty much breed the lowest scum and the filthiest liars this city has every seen. They steal and they cheat. The males are known to be the worst pickings in the city...if anyone actually chooses them. Not many males born to this family know the word of responsibility and they will not help any female they have kits with. They are those ones that are known to commit crimes and they are often found in the jailhouse and even in the dungeon of Raliette - especially the females. Members of the family do not live long. They either die from jealous ex-mates or they die from the city officials. They have no respect for the laws of the land and don't care for anyone but themselves - in general at least.

Any parents of them would be six or up and the grandparents would be older than eight years old - though the names of that generation have been lost. Please notice that there are females on this family tree mated with a couple male Giese members but have not taken the last name of Giese - that means they were not real mates. Sons born from those females are given the Giese name, the daughters are not. Take this and interpret how you wish if/when you adopt a character connected to those areas. Just as a note, Colombano is currently mated to Katerina.

QUINTANA Quintana is not exactly a "family" last name, but rather the last name of felines that are banished from the Houses. These felines may be banished from any of the Houses for any reason including being insubordinate, but the most common reason for banishment is love conflicts across the family. Families where both the male and female are banished from the Houses keep their last name as Quintana and pass it down to their children. However, if only a male or female is banished and becomes a mate to a Truslinia feline, they will most likely take on the family name of their mate whether or not the male is the banished one. Kits that have the last name of Quintana are more likely than not the ones that will grow up to be in the Outlaw crowd and they are not treated very well by others.

Family Tree: Since this is not an actual Truslinia family, there is no family tree and just because two felines share the name Quintana, does not mean they are related.

Nanda Axelson (RPer: None)
Valerio Axelson (RPer: None)
Filip Axelson (RPer: None)

Family Description: The Axelsen family is known for being a family that is the closest in relation to the Raliette house by blood. Family legend has it that the earliest couple in this line of family was actually Adoltran of Raliette and a stray feline from the streets of Truslinia. The legend goes that Adoltran and the she-cat fell madly in love with one another, but as soon as the first litter was born, he had no choice but to ditch her. He told her that he couldn't let it be known that he was with a commoner. After he left her, rumor says that she broke off from her family unable to bare the thought of what they would think of her having Adoltran's kits and changed her last name to Axelsen, creating the new family while claiming they had the blood of Raliette which wasn't unbelievable. What was unbelievable was that someone was proud enough of it to claim it. Since then the family has clamped up about their hidden royalty bloodline, though some have chosen to talk about. Those who talk are more likely than naught to disappear in the middle of the night never to be heard of again. Others have chosen that it is better to leave that piece of their plausible history secret. Some in the family even believe a legend that a prophet claimed a strong and glorious future where one of the Axelsen descendants will rise to a royal family...some believe it already has happened.



Family Name: Acwellen
Founding Member: Vortec
Family Tree: CLICK

Family Description:
The Acwellen family are an old family, older than most other families that exist in Truslinia today. There are also a very strict family in some ways. Firstly, they are a family of assassins. Each and every one of these felines grows up learning the family trade. When an Acwellen hits one year old, he or she is considered old enough to take on easy assassination assignments with an experienced adult for a partner. At two years old, they are considered capable enough to handle solo missions. The ultimate goal of the Acwellen family is to rid the world of corruption. As such, they follow a certain "creed" known only to the members of the family, and they are totally and completely against the Raliette house and the police force due to the rampant corruption. An Acwellen that is found out by the police as an assassin leaves the city to live on the outside, but are still considered part of the family and continue the family occupation. Any tom or she-cat that finds a mate in the Acwellen family must change their last name to Acwellen. However, it is not mandatory for them to become assassins, though it is encouraged. Any potential mate that refuses to join the Acwellen family after learning of the truth of their occupation is killed. Luckily, no potential mate has refused to join the Acwellen family as of yet.
