Pretext: This RP is set in colonial times, and is about the settling and expanding of several territories. Violence and romance are encouraged, but not needed.

Plot: Each person may join as a leader or colonist of each colony. Currently, the two strongest nationalities are the British and French; that isn't to say the other groups of people won't come back, and become the strongest. Choose your nationality, your colony, your rank, and your destiny...

Rules:
1) IF YOU JOIN THIS RP AND BAIL ON US, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU. You will make me so upset. Everyone keeps leaving the RPs I start, and it's making me PISSED. Don't join if you're not going to commit to it.
2) No G-Moding.
3) Romance and violence are allowed.
4) Have fun, and respect your peers.

**Below you will find out about the different nationalities and unique improvements. I will create a colony, and one or two more people who join may also do so. Everyone else must join as a colonist or free lancer(mercenary) of the first two or three colonies.**

Nationalities:

British: The British have the best sailors of all the nationalities. They have a good economy and have a high prestiege.

French: The French have the smallest amount of everything, but have the highest quality of each aspect. They have good fighters and high prestiege.

German: The Germans have a mid-range prestiege. Most of the Germans in the colonies are mercenaries hired by other countries, however, they may create their own colony if they would like. They typically have the best cavalry men.

Native American: The Natives have the best knowledge of the surrounding lands, and know more tricks and tips for survival. They have no prestiege, and are disliked by all Europeans, except the French. Their economy is poor, but will never fail.

Spanish: The Spanish have a mid range prestiege. They have strong fighters and good generals. Their economy is low to par.

((This looks pretty entertaining. *submits a new colony*))

Name: Alina Von Hautmann
Age: 28
Sex: female
Looks: Deep green eyes and blonde hair, tends to dress in men's clothes and weilds and officer's saber.
Nationality: German
Colony: Vasserhirsch
Unique Items: Cavalry Men, Rifles, Advanced Commanders and Veterans, Militaristic, Bastion
Rank: General (acting)
Brief Background: Alina Von Hautmann was the wife of a Hautmann mercenary commander who came to the new world to fight alongside the Americans. When he was killed by Yellow Fever, Alina's son was too young to assume the running of a bustling colony of displaced mercenaries. Alina became default commander until such time as her son could step up, despite that she was a woman. Her popularity with the men aided this; she was known for being feircely-tempered but intelligent and compassionate, and after several victories against hostile indians and encroaching neighboors, her mettle in battle was unquestionable. Her men call her 'der wolf im schafspelz' or wolf in lamb's skin.

Thanks for joining! Here's the ICC: Stand and Deliver

DustAndEchoes · #5 (**permalink**) 03-31-2008

Dont mind if I do. =D

Anyone that wants to be the son of a mercenary captain or a member of said merc colony; by all means. Officer, boot-polisher, what-have-you. *nodnod*

((Also, it'd technicaly be the future when the Hautmanns are hired by America, since I guess in this timeline the American Colonies are still (if unhappily) british. So for now they were just hired out to tame the frontier and then went off to do their own thing. >_>))

Heh, I'm not going for historical accuracy here. But yes, the British still have their Americanies under control. Please no one create a British colony and have them rebel; at least not for now.

Oh and D&E, are those cavalry messenger guys riding to my colony...??

DustAndEchoes · #7 (**permalink**) 04-01-2008

Yes. Sorry I didnt specify that, but I figure you're the only guy in the area.

Name: Flo [Means "Arrow"]
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Looks:

Eyes: Left: Bright Green. Right: Dark Brown.
Height: 5'6''
Weight: 132
Nationality: Native American [ Sioux ]
Colony: The Sioux Tribe [Is that okay? I dunno....]
Unique Items:
*Bastion- This colony is well protected and self-sustaining. It will be hard to attack. [However they do not have an advancement in weaponry, making them weak in some ways. They have a better time with surprise attacks on the enemy.]
*Economistic- This colony has a very rich economy. These people have more money, but have a weaker military.
*Native Ties- This colony has strong ties with the fellow native people.
Rank: Daughter of the Chief Dame [Pronounced Dah-Mae]
Brief Background:
Flo was born into the Sioux Tribe seventeen years ago and had always been very different than the other Sioux girls her age, she always was seen playing with boys and befriending wild animals that most Sioux's thought were too dangerous for young girls. She has a strong urge to explore and her curiosity often gets the better of her. She has wisdom beyond her years and she doesn't talk much, usually on first impression people think she is mute.
Flo has had some rough encounters with other tribes and a few Englishmen. But other than that she has been very kind and patient with most.

I hope this is okay..........

DustAndEchoes · #9 (**permalink**) 04-01-2008

Looks like an awsome character to me. Maybe your tribe and my colony could have some sorta reputation?

Even if they've only heared of eachother. Otherwise I'm open. Friendly, tense, hostile. Whatever. *nodnod* I wouldnt imagine a female 'chief' would go over too well, but give her a sword and 'Wolf im Schafspelz' will set em straight but-quick. XD

PuppetFox · #10 (**permalink**) 04-01-2008

It'd probably be a peaceful relationship, the Sioux only fight when necessary. But it'd be smart if she's heard of Flo . But we'll continue to talk about this tomorrow mk? I must go... laterness!
