REmake/REmodel: Officers Of The House

Si Spurrier writes;

OFFICERS OF THE HOUSE (With thanks to our very own @Purple_Wyrm, who suggested the idea)

A little backstory for our Yanqi pals. The two legislative bodies which rule the UK – the House of Lords and the House of Commons – are positively sodden with airy-fairy ritualised forms of conduct, and each has its own Dedicated Hardass.

The House of Commons has the Serjeant-at-Arms, the House of Lords has the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod – usually just called "Black Rod", fnar. In Britain, politics is magnificently silly.

So let's have some fun with these guys. Let's assume the Houses of Parliament have been taken to the Nth degree. Maybe it's some far-future version of Britain… maybe an alternate universe ruled by magic and mathematics… maybe a galactic sexpire based around the ancient ceremonies of Britannia – I dunno. Whatever. That shit's up to you.

I want you to design the two political Guardians/Cops/Doormen who attend the Upper and Lower house: Serjeant-at-Arms and Black Rod.

One must be male. One must be female. Everything else is up to you.
