House of Hump: Founded

(Year 227) A new House was approved by the Royal Chamber; House of Hump. Last week there was a small ceremony at the Council House, where Head of the new house, Doctor Nivert Hump (54) received his framed Coat of Arms, as a symbolic approval.

While the Royal Chamber is formally in charge of approving this kind of matters, whenever there is no complicated issues and no peerage nor noble title involved, the regional Council normally handles the matter on their behalf.

Anyone can apply to register a new House if certain requirements are met:
* Net worth of minimum §250,000 (can include multiple similarly named households).
* Minimum 2 central members of the House (limited to Head of House and his/her descendants)
* Coat of Arms not conflicting with existing Houses.

A new House will choose one of four symbols that will signalize the main community focus of the House. They are Spade (leadership), Diamond (knowledge), Clubs (crafts) or Heart (culture). House of Hump chose blue primary color and the Spade, which can be questioned as the founder is currently a Doctor, and knowledge might suit just as well, but Hump stated in his short acceptance speech that he always saw his medical profession as a leading effort, searching for new directions for medicine and leading the way for community. Being a DNA specialist, he is in the front group, focusing on development rather than daily health service.

However, the new House of Hump was not granted with the Doctor profession as the focused career. Instead they got career focus "Education - Professor", which can be combined with both medicine and leadership. In addition, their skill focus is "Selvadoradian culture". Each house has one career focus and one skill focus, and they are expected to fulfill minimum one of those. As the  house grows, other members can contribute with the skill focus, even.

Current central members of House of Hump are:

Nivert Hump, San Myshuno (54), founder.

Robin Hump (20), founder's son living with his mother in Henford-on-Bagley.
Cannic Hump (0), founder's son.

Dominic Calvin Hump (0), founder's son.

The rule of members (except  head and head's descendants) can not be born before the House's founding date, means that Dr. Hump's wife, Siobhan (Fyres) Hump, nor his cousins, are members and there are none secondary members of a new House. This will adjust for future generations.

The new House of Hump holds no peerage, and is not in line of any title.

Nivert Hump and wife Siobhan (Fyres) Hump recently moved from Fashion District to Uptown where they currently reside at Landgraab Apartments VIII. They just had twin sons, and both Nivert and Siobhan has one son each from previous relations.
