Household
-
Those of Ptah's household would note the Nemateelu a rather strange man to say the least... He is nothing if not demanding of perfection. Those who disappoint the wolf do not last long and are seldom offered a second chance. Those who are brave enough to withstand the wolf's temper are trusted and treasured... Those are the few who understand just how ancient the wolf is and the depth of his... Oddities...
House symbol is a stylized P, the wolf changing it over the years as the same letter became a symbol for piracy... His mark is branded on every surface of what he considers his. Wether it be marked on a collar, on his favorite cane or burned into flesh as a brand... That said... The wolf rarely takes on anyone... Preferring to do things his own way.
Household Rules
(To be honored by slave and freeborn alike)
If you know what he is, god help you if you should ever tell anyone what you know. He is a secretive wolf and does not like his race or how old he is being broadcasted... It's bad for business at times.
Respect is a must for himself as well as anyone else. Even the lowest slave is to be given some amount of respect because frankly... It takes will to be so low... He will not have anyone damaging the good name of his house by not showing proper respect.
He is to be called Sir by those who are owned by him unless otherwise stated. Master is a term taken of those by the lowest possible station and he will not have it any other way.
Betrayal is met with a very swift death... If you plot against him may God help you if he finds out about it. Perhaps you may be able to get by... Do you really want to take that chance?
All slaves are expected to remain well groomed and well maintained. There is always a tab in his name and he expects any slave he owns to use it to take care of themselves.
All slaves are given regular lessons with a tutor, the wolf expecting each of those in his household to want to better themselves. Slaves are expected to pursue this without him forcing the subject and without him having to insist upon it.
No slave is allowed coin of any kind nor are they permitted to use furniture. This is not always absolute. He will occasionally reward a slave by allowing them to sit with him. However without permission it will be met with swift reaction.
He expects all in his household, whether they be free or slave to greet him quickly and with respect. Failing to do so will be seen as rude and he does not appreciate rudeness in his household...
Sexual gratification is forbidden for his slaves unless given direct permission. Coitus is not approved of from slave or free person... He does not need anything unpleasant making its way back to his home... Be it some form of disease or crying infant.
Those of his Household
Omen/Cresil His most Loyal guard and forever at his side... The massive Direwolf is always seen close behind the wolf and it is questionable as to wether or not the beast ever goes anywhere without his beloved Master. It has always been thought though never confirmed until recently... His two most trusted companions are in fact the same being. Either Omen or Cresil are always at side and now it is known. Cresil and Omen are one in the same. As a man the best stands near eight feet tall... Massive ram horns sprout from head that is surprisingly equine, thick body appearing more that of an ox... Lion like tail and split hoofed feet... What kind of a beast is this that appears to be a mix of so many creatures... The answer is positively demonic..
Tik It's difficult to say where the Nemateelu came from... However he now always seems to be close to the ancient wolf. Deep gold eyes may be surprising considering the wolf's hatred for the gold eyes. However, for those who know the wolf might think otherwise... Ptah is nothing if not manipulative and making what he hates into what Tik is... Is delightful... Tik is never seen outside of his feral form and his wings have been sheered off and the wound treated with venom so they will not grow back. The wolf is obviously disturbed, the word Tik screamed out at random, the wolf always huddled close to his Master. A perfect example of what happens when breaking goes to far...
Household Slaves
Rentals/Sale
All positions currently available for those slaves who would be up for rent or those who might be up for sale. Ptah is nothing if not a business man and he always likes to have a steady income no matter where he goes. Any slave who is up for rental is potentially up for sale as well if the price is right. If you would prefer to have your slave character owned by an individual with the potential to move on to another Master Ptah is certainly your guy.
Worker
It takes a lot to keep a house running! This could very well extend to those who would cook, clean, keep his home running and make certain it is kept safe. Guards, gladiators and other servants also fall into this category. These slaves are generally treated rather well. For whatever service they provide him. It is more a job than a slave position. He just doesn't like to pay a person for their work...
Personal Slaves
A position of some form of power among slaves... Those who he would call his personal slave is more akin to that of a pet. If one earns his favor to this it is a very good thing to have... His pets are treated well for the most part... They are generally always at his side. They are also safe from Omen which in itself is a good thing. He generally keeps slaves in this position who's opinion he values, often using them as a bit of a sounding board.
A Slave's Vows...I serve my Lord in all that I do. When he is not here I am incomplete. In his absence I speak for his name. I will honor that name and never disappoint. I will better myself in his name. My freedom is his. My devotion is his. To him I will not lie, I will not steal, I will not disappoint. To him... I give myself.
