Basic background so you know what you will be getting into: The peacful Emperor of the land has been overthrown by an invading force, it is superior to the Imperial army (Which is non existant at the present time) but is small compared to the general population of the old empire. In demonstration of his new power Emperor Darel sends his men to burn the crops and villages every night of innocent peasants. My character has lost everything, his wife was murdered, his home burned and his crops destroyed. His mission: To gather an able resistence against the new emperor and his numerous forces. setting will be described in the actually RPG post. When you join you will make your way to the hills that surround the Imperial city and its 'subburbs'. There you will follow paths to the site of Quarian's destroyed home. He will meet you there and enlist you for the alliance.
This is not a fantasy RPG, Race is Human, No magic, custom armor is allowed and chain, scale, plate armor is all allowed but you must aquire it as when you arrive you have nothing, you are a peasent.
When signing up state only the facts that I have listed for my character:
Name: Quarian
Sex: Male
Age: 34
Previous Profession (job before joining alliance, blacksmith, farmer etc.): Farmer
Some simple character background: Family was murdered by new imperial forces and his home was destroyed. Seeing as he has nothing to lose he is starting this alliance to offer a resistance.
Weapon of choice: broad sword note: you most aquire your weapon, however if your previous profession was farmer you can have a pitch fork to stat out with, anyone can have a rock until they get a weapon, a blacksmith can have a dagger. Anything sensible is fine but your starting weapon has to be something non powerful. To aquire weapons/armor you will either steal it from an imperial armory or get it from a killed imperial soldier.
My A New power RPG is nearing the end of its Exposition, throwing the people into an all-out war for cntrol of the Empire. We desperatly need members, sign up here. If you join feel free to play as the leader of a nearby province, willing to try to take over the Empire yourself with YOUR army. I ask that you start out reletively non-powerful and progress in the game.
basically, Quarian has established his alliance and they have hired mercanaries and/or brought peasants to their side. IT was the night before their planned attack when they found that someone else had beat them to it. I placed various clues and forshadowing to that plot twist that I don't need to mention. Now my character is injured and trapped in the Imperial city as the invaders begin their sweep through the streets. But a defence has arrived and a battle for the city itself is imminent, if not happening.
If you want specifics just look around in the thread, I recomend you join as the leader of another Empire, looking to claim the war torn Galoric Empire. But it is up to you.
It is possible to join this RPG as an Imperial Soldier, you will be considered evil but in this case you will be able to lead small groups of Imperial Soldiers. If you rise to the rank of General then you will be able to control Imperial Armys.
Also. You my start a second alliance like mine and play as a seperate 'faction' with new players joining you as well as me.
These new features are to attract more players and to increase open-endedness.
In conclusion: you are no longer limited to the original group. you may start your own and new players will be able to join it. Once you have established your own group it is your decision with what to do. Start war with another faction, try to throw down the Empire yourself or join forces with another faction to increase your power.
I have tried to put all recent changes to rules up in this thred so you will be able to find this information elsewhere.
The Fate of the Empire is in your hands....

Name: Kataiyo
Age: 17
Previous Employment:
Kataiyo was a spy for the empire, freelancing, after his father, Hirotaiyo, mysteriously died of poisoning. His father gave him a single thing just before dying, his family heirloom, the Taik Locket. A dark set of black clothing gives him camoflauge, although Kataiyo is a skilled fighter with his fists. He now searches for any remnants of his lost Recon team, or anyone that will see him a member, even renegades, such as this new alliance. With nothing but the clothes on his back, the locket around his neck, and the peices of a broken bottle he carries for protection and to hunt, he strodes the wilderness honoring the memory of his forebearers, to which his locket is a constant reminder. however, more recently, he has resided in practice of the martial arts near the city.
Kataiyo's weapon of choice: information, and unarmed combat. Although he can be very skilled with his self-made wrist blades, he has no skill in armor or actual weaponry, because his team was taught to observe, run, report, and only battle if necessary. However, his great training in claw-class weaponry has made him nearly a master, and he had his very own set of leather ones (lost on an important mission), each holding its own row of shards that strike when he lashes out with his fists at an enemy.

Character Background: After his elder sister was suspiciously murdered Mörgo had nobody to depend on. His mother and father had died of natural causes 2 years apart from each other when Mörgo was only 19 years old.
He lives in a little shack in the middle of a large forest on the eastern side of the lands. A tradesman living in a nearby town gave him money weekly for supplies of Oakwood, and thus Mörgo made all the money that he needed to survive. After hearing of the recent events of the Emperors doings, Mörgo has decided that he must go and visit Quarian, the newly widowed farmer, and see if he can help at all in his crusade for justice.

First of all, I don't take orders from someone who makes spelling and grammatical errors and whose signature, for God's sake, says fecal matter. Secondly, I don't see how my post was spam. I simply created a character, same as everyone else. Maybe I dare to think differently than everyone else here, who for some reason must adhere to specific rules understood only by the nerds who play RPG's for hours on end. I was simply trying to use my sense of humor, which I've now found to be pointless because nobody else here seems to have one.

Translation: you're about one post away from a ban on posting in the rp forums since you clearly don't understand the concept of an rpg.
If I brought that fleet in, the game would be over in about one post. There wouldn't be a story, since Morrowind would be the victim of a full orbital bombardment and a glass crater one post after I added my fleet.

Name - Ardeel Konichi
Age 42
A retired samurai who has spent the last several years farming an orchard. His memory of the use of weaponry is vague, though it will come back to him in time. The weapon he was left with after the burning of his orchard was an old bill-hook, a device used in the middle ages to prune trees, which later developed into the glaive and pole-arms/halberds of later periods. This is not his preferred weapon, but it will do in a pinch.
He retired after the politics of the warlords had completely disillusioned him as far as the honor of all samurai who would take part in supporting such a corrupt system and such corrupt men. As such, he renounced the use of arms for the purposes of others, and laid his weapons upon the ground and broke them.
He was at the far end of the orchard when the men first came, and he did not understand what was to some and ignored them. When they lit fire to his orchard, he rushed to the house to find his family already put to death by the sword. He heard a sound, and saw the men responsible for the killing. He attacked them, was knocked senseless and was left for dead.
The fire burned his house, his family, and with it the bodies of his wife and two young sons. He, however was spared, and is ashamed at his inability to have protected them. He has privately vowed to return to the samurai code to wreak his vengeance upon those who destroyed his life. He rues the fact that he destroyed his sword, as it would be the instrument of his vengeance.

Name: Alenee B'Elen
Sex: Female
Age: 24
Previous Profession: Imperial soldier
Some simple character background: Alenee was a mid-level Imperial officer when the Emperor fell. Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately), she was on patrol far from the Imperial capital when the invasion began, and she returned to find a lost battle and an enemy that wanted her dead. Along with a few of her surviving comrades, she escaped into the wilderness. Now beyond easy reach, she has begun to turn her attention to revenge for the friends she lost in the invasion.
Alenee B'Elen is just over 6 feet tall, and very light weight for her height. But despite her less than impressive strength, she moves with almost effortless grace. Now instead of her Imperial uniform, she wears loose dull gray clothes, made for freedom of movement and concealment over fashion. The dirt of weeks of exile is clear on her clothes and exposed skin, and her long brown hair spends most of its time tossed carelessly over her shoulders, the scraps of plants caught in it ignored. In another life she might have been considered pretty, but now all that remains is a determined warrior. One must wonder if the sense of calm confidence that surrounds her is due to real skill, or if she just doesn't care about anything anymore...
Weapon of choice: longbow/pike. Alenee carries a bow she created herself, her personal weapon that has seen years of use. This weapon, and the backup pike she carries on her back, is the only thing left of eight years of Imperial service. It is the one ally she can still trust in this world.

Peregrine, you are way too predictable.
Anyway I'm interested, but if you read the other RP threads you'll know I'll be incognito until the 20th of March (and after that I'll likely want to kill myself with the amount of work I won't be doing over spring break which I'll pretend to catch up but really not).
Anyways since it seems to me that this horde of monkeyf*****s only works at night would it be possible to have a vampire character whose lair was 'disturbed' by the hordes while he was off feeding on local livestock? And I have an idea to get around the whole not being able to go out in day dilemma if you'd allow for it.
Auranioutczu
Gender: Male
Class: Vampire
Physical Description:
His face is soothing and calm with a slightly mischevous aura about it. His eyes are green/gray and his hair is long and brown which he has pulled back in a pony-tail.
Do you want stats on him?
Major Skills: Speechcraft, Mysticism, Alteration, Enchant, Illusion
Minor: Light Armor, Short Blade, Long Blade, Spear, Marksman
Brief History:
Before being tortured and turned to a creature of the night Auranioutczu (Outczu for short) was a traveling scholar who enjoyed researching local traditions based in the arcane arts. Naturally attuned to various energy fields of magika, he enrolled in the School of Arcana to further his studies, particularly in the field of Alteration of which he has little knowledge.
Charged with the task of recovering a stolen set of highly prized bonemold armor said to be able to shield its wearer from the elements Outczu set off on a journey that would not yield a return to the life he so enjoyed. After tracking a supposed lead deep into the marshes he stumbled upon an outpost amidst an ambush by a group of vampires.
Though his efforts were valiant, after slaying several of the attackers he was maimed and dragged to their local lair and taken into darkness. However, Outczu's will overcame his desire to quench his thirst on the blood of mortals and suspected the essence of a fellow vampire would satisfy his appetite more thoroughly.
Under the cover of day, while the lair slept he severed the soul of the Vampire Ancient into Outczu's being, infusing within him a power unlike anything known in all legends. Upon seizing his master's soul within himself Outczu flayed the limp corpse and through his knowledge of enchanting forged a set of armor out of Vampire Ancient's skin and bones. This grants him the ability to travel in daylight, but only for limited amounts of time before he must imbue the armor with a soul of a mortal being.
As his territory becomes overrun with the pathetic human insurgence he, night after night, combats the hordes that rape the countryside and spills their blood across the land as a warning to those who might temp fate. His will is bent on stopping the invasion, though his reasons for doing so are not clear, even to him. A struggle in him between his soul and that of Vampire Ancient's is prominent; his existence is bent on overcoming this plight and restoring his natural state.
