THE THREE HOUSES

[Jeopardy]

( HOUSES )

As you will notice there are three main houses of nobility in the ruling classes of Truslinia, although there is only one House that fully has the power to create laws and govern the city, that is the House of Raliette. The other houses can chirp in and request that the Raliettes do something differently or give advise when the Raliettes want it, but that has hardly an impact on them for many reasons. There are always tensions between the three houses. If a cat from one house decides to become a mate with a cat from another house consequences will differ depending on what houses the cats are from. Those consequences are as followed:

A Raliette male/female taking a Fahrin female/male ----> Both felines will be banished from both houses and will become commoners, loosing their title to nobility as well.

A Raliette female taking on a Drestine male ----> The Raliette female will be banished from the Raliette family, but will usually join the male in the Drestine family.

A Raliette male taking on a Drestine female ----> The Drestine female will be forced by the Raliette customs leave the Drestine nobility for the Raliettes. If she refuses to do such, it will result in banishment of the male from the Raliette if he has already presented the idea to the head families. From there the female will choose whether to follow the male into common life or not.

A Fahrin female/male taking on a male/female Drestine ----> Between the female and male, they may choose to which family they move into.

( RALIETTE HOUSE )

History ;;

[/b] The creation of the Raliette House has been lost to time. Not even the Raliette House knows exactly where their beginnings started and Zerachiel has refused to say what use to lie before the Raliette House. Everyone knows one thing though and that is the house began with a tom that went by the name of Adoltran. The name spoken on the lips of Truslinia felines is nothing but a curse and spat out with pure hatred. Legend says that Adoltran was born a normal feline with a normal life. No-one is sure where he was born though. Did Truslinia exist? Some say yes, some say no. It depends on what you believe. For those who say yes, Adoltran was born in the city with a mother and father who loved him. For those who say no, he was born a loner without a family to care for him. Either way, it is agreed that Zerachiel found Adoltran and made him his loyal follower on which to build a ruling house - the Raliette House.

Adoltran created the norms of the Royalty Houses as well as creating the laws of the city...which are limited at best: don't complain about the swift justice that acts upon the land and don't look to us for guidance. Everyone could see from the beginning that Adoltran was a harsh tom that promised to rule them with nothing less than hatred and pain. However, no-one did anything to stop him. Many believed that once he died, things would be better. They say Adoltran as a nuisance that would soon end either way and that the god surely wouldn't make them live in fear forever. How dead wrong they were. Even when Adoltran passed away, killed by tradition by his own son, things did not let up. There was a momentary pause as feline started to wonder if perhaps things would get better, but the son was just as corrupted as his father and this pattern continued through the generations, keeping pace even today.

Even with the creations of the Fahrin House and the Drestine House, the Raliette House continued to thrive. None of the felines saw the other Royalty Houses as a threat to their well-being. In fact, many of the felines from the beginning simply regarded the other families with a scornful acceptance. They started to think that the other Houses might be good for the felines of Truslinia because they would give the appearance of false hope. Even the Heads of Raliette saw no reason to be wary of their rivals. They might have at the start of the Drestine House - seeing some of the qualities that they shared - but the fear soon vanished when the House made no moves to start an uprising. The Head always argued that if they were to be brought down, a family would have to bring them down right away and not wait a single day.

And so, from the beginning till today, the Raliette House continues to thrive.


Personality ;; Confident, stubborn, hot-headed, merciless, careless, lustful

Those are only the basic ways to describe this house of stuck-up felines. Every cat in this house has been tainted with bad blood. The house is far too lustful for their own good. Mates mean hardly anything to a Raliette cat and everyone in the House and outside knows that. 'Cheating' is not an uncommon thing, but no-one cares in this house. Being 'mates' in the Raliette House is simply a way for a male to claim a female as being his whenever he wants her and sometimes, depending on the male, it'll work the other way around as well.

But above all, that is why the Raliette is hated and despised, even more than the fact that they do whatever they feel like doing and whenever they feel like doing it. Cats feel like the Raliette's years being led on by their lust, is what turned them into such a horrible ruling house. Most of the Raliette cats are quite smart in all reality, but they just like to pretend that they aren't for the sake of it. But most cats don't care what others think, they think they're all that matters, and they will kill if needed to get what they want.


Magic ;; For the aspect of magic all the felines of the Ralliete house are allowed to have powers in both of the following classes. However, their supernatural power will not work while they are in their shift form.

One ;; Shape-shift into any animal deprived mythical creature. Meaning mythical creatures with human pieces in it are not allowed.

Two ;; Any type of supernatural power.

( FAHRIN HOUSE )

History ;;

[/b] The Fahrin House started with the birth of the goddess Guinevere. When she was born, she saw the hardships of the felines under her brother Zerachiel's rule and wanted nothing but to help them. She contacted the felines in the city with the softest hearts that had yet not been broken completely by the terror of the city and gave then a new life under her watch with the foundation of the Fahrin House. The very first head was a tom by the name of Partha. He was the feline that pushed into onto the Fahrin House that they should not challenge the Raliette House. He was convinced that if they could manage to have a shaky co-existence with the ruling house, than they might still have some power to sway the minds of the Raliette Head. He managed to convince his family and the rest of the House and that was that.

Over the years, Heads have risen to power - some of them females even - but none have challenged the decision to stay as a House and not challenge. Guinevere has accepted the idea of a co-existence with the Raliette House and has learned to live with her older brother though she doesn't like his nature. With time, the Fahrin House has forgotten that they were originally meant to challenge the Raliette House and has instead decided to go to the frame of mind that they just would never be able to defeat the House. They see no hue reason why they should risk their lives when there is no guarantee that they will win and defeat the other House. They are at odds with the Raliette House and they have never liked the Raliette House. When the Drestine House was created, they started to become more sympathetic to the other House and allied themselves with them.


Personality ;; Kind, loving, devoted, peaceful, smart, merciful

Where the Raliette House is on the extreme for darkness, the Fahrin House is on the extreme for lightness. Their hearts, some believe, is too soft and far too kind. They never have shown as a family the ambition to move forward with the idea of taking down the Raliette House and instead prefer being second best - especially since the Drestine House has popped into existence. As a House, they are huge into the morals of family and making sure that their families are strong and well. They comfort one another and they are extremely loyal to their mates. If anyone is caught cheating in this House, they are immediately banished from the House and forced to go to Truslinia.

When it comes to felines of Truslinia, they put their heart out there and many members ache for what the Truslinia felines are going through. They hate seeing the fear or the felines in the city and they often due offer a place at their palace for those in the worst shape until they heal and can go back out to live their lives on their own. However, they never find the need to cross the Raliette House. They will not usually give a temporary home to any gang member - no matter how noble the cause - or anyone that is wanted by the Raliette Head. They believe in living long enough as a House to make sure that there is a place for the normal felines of Truslinia to find a hideaway...and every now and again their Head may try and sway the Raliette Head's opinion on a matter.


Magic ;; The Fahrin House only has the ability to shift into a non-mythical creature. They can change into any animal imaginable except for one - Humans. Humans don't exist in this world and if anything, they are merely a bed time story used to scare little kits into behaving.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Jeopardy]

( DRESTINE HOUSE )

History ;;

[/b] The Drestine House, much like the Fahrin House, holds no huge accomplishments in their history and hardly have any milestones whatsoever. The House was created when a new god was born...or more to the point when two gods where born at once - twins. The two of them where do different in personality and yet they must do everything together and confide in one another. The god and goddess represent the two conflicting personality angles that can be found in the House that was created - a House that held more flexibility and allowed a different array of felines to be born in the Royalty ranking. This array has allowed the Drestine House to quickly and swiftly show the other Houses that they mean business and that they aren't missing around just for fun - that they have an agenda that they want to push forward and to try and help the felines of Truslinia.

The House may be newer, but when they were first created, they didn't waste time in trying to overturn the Raliette House...or in fact, they merely pushed threats and rumors towards the other House that they were planning a battle soon after they were created and the Raliette House was having none of that, so the Rsliette House planned an attack first. The Great Battle raged out and the felines of the Raliette House ambushed the Drestine felines - which were still few in numbers compared to the much older House - and they didn't stand a chance. The Raliette felines burned the battle ground to a crisp and destroyed everything in sight, including the old Drestine palace. Since this battle, the Drestine House hasn't talked about overturning the Raliette Household, but rumor is they are still looking for a way, but many never think they will.


Personality ;; Careful, ambitious, loyal, harsh, stubborn, temperate, sympathetic

The Drestine House is for all purposes a genuine mix between the rough Raliette and the gentle Fahrin House. The commonality in their personality differs widely from feline to feline seeing as not every feline can have each one of the traits and the traits listed above are merely simplifications for the entire house. Some of them are more caring than others and some are more ambitious than others. In all reality most felines that see the inner working of this house start to realize that they lack something important that they might need to defeat the Raliette House if they ever cared enough as to to do something: unity.

They are the newest house and therefore the only house the cats of Truslinia remember seeing so diverse. Most think that their wide range in persona abilities will be what keeps them from moving forward, but rather it is here as a safeguard in case they ever do overthrow the Raliette House. With a range of personality, it means that the Truslinia felines will never have to worry about a fully corrupt Royal House again if Raliette disappears. The kindness some have in the Drestine House will check and balance out the meanness and the stubbornness that others have. It's a way to keep everyone in line and everyone together.

Magic ;; Drestine felines have the ability of a power deprived from nature. These can consist of changing the weather, moving water slightly, controlling fire that is already existing, etc. Anything that wouldn't scream "unnatural" if they used it without showing it off.[/blockquote][/blockquote]
