The Orichalcum Shield
[PTabbedContent]
[PTab=Preface]
The following is information regarding the families that formed what was once the Orichalcum Shield in the year 650. Once a group deigned to protect the planet Earth from extraterrestrial and extradimensional threats. However, at one point in its history each of the five families fell out of contact with one another, only maintaining a bond through the weapons forged for their bloodlines.
Ancestral Weapons
A set of five weapons forged by a mysterious blacksmith with materials collected from across the universe. Each weapon is bound to their associated bloodline through a ritual held secret within the archives of each family. Should one without the blood of that bonded family pick up the weapon, it will be incapable of expressing its full capabilities and will be little more than a tool in their hands. These weapons bind wholly to their users and often times adopt aspects of each former user through mimicking their mannerism and souls.
Note:
Details of any unclaimed characters and their families may be changed should you express interest in taking on their role as a PC. All that is asked, is that you contact myself so that any details can be hashed out to fit it entirely into the narrative of the families as they are written.

[PTab=Baskerville]
One of the original four families to form the Shield and the one of them that maintains a widely public presence. Until recently it was headed by Archer H. Baskerville and his wife Valorie Baskerville, however an unfortunate storm at sea took the lives of both and left the estate in the hands of their young daughter Tunic. Now heading the estate, the young woman does her best to maintain the public presence and opinion of her family.

[PTab=Chamberlain]
Among the first four families to form the Shield, the Chamberlain family was up and coming at the time and benefitted severely from their association with the others, eventually coming to nearly monopolize the industry in space technologies at the time. However, in the last few decades the prominence of the family has fallen into obscurity as their companies still operate, but those of the family are rarely seen themselves.

[PTab=Montague]
The fifth family to join the Shield roughly a decade into its creation. A much less reclusive family than the others, for many years they acted as the formal front to the group until their decline in the 900s due to economic strain. The current state of their estate or their weapon is unknown to the other families.

[PTab=Servantus]
The longest standing of the original four, long predating the Shield and the family that introduced the Blacksmith to the others at the group's formation. They were prominent and quite well known until under a decade ago, when all traces of them seemed to fade into obscurity.
