ROLES
Reply with which role you selected. If you accomplish your goal, reply to your own comment with links to the relevant thread(s).
Governor: Assert your authority at representatives from other nations until someone challenges you in a contest or duel, and when they do, put them in their place.
Scientist: Examine something strange that someone brings to you, and make some judgment of what the phenomena might be. It’s fine if the science is entirely fake.
Inventor: Make up an invention (with the in-character assumption that it mostly works) and convince at least one other nation that it is relevant to their goal. Props provided.
Engineer: Show someone how to fix something they’re working on. It’s okay if the engineering is fake. This is acting, technobabble it.
Newspaper Writer: Find out another unit’s current goal and report on it before they can complete it.
Black Sheep Noble Scion: Convince someone from another unit to take you on as an apprentice in something artsy or spiritual.
Con Artist: Convince someone to show you a mysterious artifact they found for scientific and/or mystical examination and then just steal it.
Sick Heir: Find a suitable marriage match while trying to hide your terrible illness. Pick one symptom and mention it once in every thread for acting credit.
