CHE: Customizing Officer Speeches
INITIATE and INVEST have the ability for custom speeches. All customizations must go through QC and will be subject to all required in-genre, in-character, and grammar rules.
INITIATE
Houses have the option for custom messaging for PRESPEECH, CUSTOM, and POSTSPEECH. Once you have a custom initiation, it's broken into three parts: PRESPEECH, CUSTOM, and POSTSPEECH. An example of it broken up would look like this:
Prespeech example:
Officer stands tall and turns to face you, serious in expression and tone. S/he says, "Today is a great day for both you and the House of Blah. On this day, you join the ranks of the House of Blah- the greatest House in the Cooperative Houses of Elanthia. On this day, the House of Blah welcomes yet another of the best these lands have to offer."
S/he smiles briefly and continues, "You have been tested and pushed by us. We believe you to be able to hold yourself above all others- should you choose. Know that this does not mean you are without flaw, but it does mean that you perhaps have the potential to be. One day. We acknowledge and recognize your accomplishments both past and future."
Custom example:
Officer walks over to a small cabinet, retrieving a slender sceptre. S/he approaches you, giving each of your shoulders a firm tap with the sceptre and announces, "Inductee, I hereby induct you as a full member into the House of Blah, with all the rights and responsibilities due therein. May you bring us honor in action, thought, and deed."
Postspeech example:
Officer gives you a shallow bow. Straightening his/her spine, s/he returns the sceptre to the cabinet before returning to stand near you.
Please note that you cannot combine a prespeech/custom/postspeech induction with a default one. The default one works as one combined message, and you are done, while the custom ceremonies are divided into the three parts.
INVEST
This follows the same guidelines as above for custom, prespeech, and postspeech versions.
Costs
This is considered a Building & Maintenance request, costing 2 IP for each (i.e. 4 IP for both a custom initiation and investiture). Also note that the House must supply all messaging and the messaging is subject to QC approval.
