Alabaster Settlement

Post: # 4539Post sharky801 »

*Walks Up to the city council members and places a few Tubs onto the desk, small stickers on each tube with scratchy hand writing reads " Road plans, Building concepts, Town layout" Thank you for seeing me today, As im sure you all know why i'm here, to discus my application for a new settlement. Iv filled out the questions on the request form that was provided. Please take a look."*Sets form onto the desk*


Settlement Application


Name of Settlement: Alabaster. Owing to the characteristic color of white alabaster, the term has entered the vernacular as a metonym for white things, Since we are building in a snow region this seems only fitting.

Chosen location: http://imgur.com/Ymrzm7p
We understand roads must be constructed for this and fully accept the responsibility of building them.


Members of this Settlement: Azure_sea (Sharky801) Ebon_pith (Silentshadowxx) Maze_cuttingham (Fasterkillboy) Sol_Terra (Bornretardedbr) Furor_pith (WildAninja13)

What have you done to try to achieve this settlement? Well my companions and I have put alot of thought into this application taking us several days to draw up the plans i have brought along with me today. We have all worked hard doing many jobs and scouting the lands for the best place for roads as well as the town it self. We've elected a town treasurer among us and have been pooling resources and money to buy all the necessary for the settlement.

What economic, social, or industrial basis will this settlement be founded on? The town of Alabaster will have many economic benefits to the region of Toro. With the founding of the settlement we plan to establish the harbor which will connect Alabaster and Cobalt creating a trade route to the south allowing for the exchange of many different types of items and pixelmon. On an industrial standpoint many jobs will be created by the harbor for many fishing jobs as well as the opening of Alabaster's very own Cloyster industries. Now what is CI you may ask, well simply put its a new upcoming business specializing in shipping snow and ice to the many towns of Toro.

What do you see this town growing to become?We have many ambitions for the town of Alabaster, one of the main goals is to become a bustling city in the south. Allowing people who love the frozen tundras a place to stay. making journeys to the ice caves down south a much easier trip. One of the true hopes of my companions is that Alabaster can grow into a new home for us few that have lost our homelands in the west to Team Noir.

What will draw people to this town over the other established settlements? Why move to a cold snowy town you may wonder? Well the cost of living in alabaster is considerably low, most of our building materials come from the land around us not alot of money is spent on import. This fact combined with the harbor and goods being sent from Cobalt keeps the costs low. Besides living costs the homes of Alabaster are spacious and warm making it a very nice place to relax and take in the calm nights and bright stars.

Why the chosen location? Alabasters location was primarily chosen for its high groupings of spruce trees. Spruce being an indigenous tree from our homelands of Sonos we have alot of experience in building with this type of wood. Another primary reason for this location is the bay. This will help connect many of the areas of Toro via ship travel.

Building Examples: For these examples see the tube labeled building concepts

Why is this the architecture? Why the _____ building material? This simple yet modern styled was chosen because we want the town of Alabaster to feel like a get away, Relaxing, yet still very modern. This is accomplised by using alot of local building materials. To prvoide a warm cozzy feeling while you are in Alabaster as if the very town it self is keeping you warm from the frozen lands around it.

Other details: ((Not sure how you want to go about the roads, Us do them or you do them. Just let us know))

Ebon Pith silently walking into the town hall. Walks up to the counter and signs his name. whispers to himself "Done" as he walks away from the counter and out the front door.

Sits in a dark corner on the far side of the room mumbling to himself as if in a conversation, and holding the pixelball that contains his treasured pixelmon, Alakazam. "So long since we have had a home," he whispers. He begins to mumble the word "home" again and again. He walks to the table, picks up a pen, and signs his name on the charter. "Home."

Arriving at Town Hall and feeling a bit winded. I take a deep breath and walk though the door. i See two men in the room with me. One is talking to himself in a dimly lit corner of the room holding a single pixelball in his hand. I think to myself "Wells that's CREEPY". The other is at the desk in front of me. I take a seat waitting for the 2 men to sign up leave. I stand up thinking "well i guess its my turn". I get to the desk and see a clipboard with a piece and paper saying ."Sign up to help build Alabaster Settlement " the work is good and the pay is fare. You might even find a new home. I quickly sign right then without reading the rest. That's all i needed to here,a new home and work. I turn and head out the door. thinking "i'm glad we're doing this bulbasaur we may actually have a home soon".

Slowly walking to the desk where the paper for sign up lies, Sol pauses and begins to ponder yet again whether this is the decision he wants to make or if he wants to go back on his own as he's always been. He then decides that these people helped him once before and probably saved him from certain death so it's time to repay that debt and he might even like being around other people. Without further hesitation he walks to the table and signs to help build and form the city from the ground up.

Azure returns to the city council a few days later with what looks like a few more sketches rolled up and tied. He nods to the council members. "Thank you for seeing me again, we've been thinking and have drafted a few new building ideas as well as businesses." He unties the sketches and spreads them out onto the table. "Along with the manufacturing of ice we will also be opening one of Toros only Spruce furniture shops (bilbocraft). As well as the the cafe inside of the pokemart will be staffed selling filling meals to anyone to come by (harvest craft)"

Ice factory offices (Ice will be made below)

Hey guys, sorry it has taken so long for me to check this. Been busy with the Modpack Release and I wanted to wait until after the Adamas Grand Opening.

So I talked about it with my team and the one things they all said that needed changing are the builds. We would like you to change the planks to White Stained Clay and use logs a lot more. Like a white log cabin in the forest. We just want this change because almost everyone player made settlement is made with wood.((Ferrite has none.)) We'll have HBC set up a shop where you can trade the spruce planks that you would have used for the build for the clay.

Take screenshots of the builds with the new materials so we can see how it looks. Thanks and good luck!

Thanks! This is completely acceptable, we would rather know what we need to do/change to get started so we will get to work on switching it out.
