How is this?

The Manor Staff

The Manor is staffed with the expected housekeeping and maintenance crews as well as a host of butlers, chefs, and chauffeurs. Most of the staff are human familiars, though there are exceptions - sometimes an abandoned former familiar will come to work for the Manor, as once a human is 'in the know', they cannot be allowed to simply roam free.

Discretion and loyalty are two distinctive traits of the Manor staff. The expression 'you won't even know I'm here' applies to the employees.

Rupert Burke, the Head Butler, leads the staff and is a testament to the core traits the Manor values in a staff member. Rupert never argues with Manor residents, as that would be far above his pay grade; he avoids conflict at all costs and resolves any issues that may arise behind the scenes rather than directly. Rupert never gossips; he is the soul of discretion and prides himself on this character trait. Because he is a familiar (though his master is undisclosed), he is generally treated with due respect; Anantya law is clear on the matter of respecting each other's property.

Rupert and/or any appropriate employee of the Manor are there to see to your needs. You are welcome to move Rupert or other employees, as these are NPCs and not subject to the role-play rules for characters. You may assume that Manor Staff has fulfilled whatever requests your character has come up with (within reason, of course. When in doubt, ask, either in the Orchard or PM an SA Staff member), whether it be arrangements for housing or simply a copy of the day's paper.

If you have a unique circumstance that requires role playing with Rupert or another Manor Staff member, either post in the Orchard or PM SA Staff. Otherwise, feel free to use the Staff to enrich your posts and make your role playing with player characters smoother.
