Fragmenting of an Empire- OOC Thread of wonders

[The Dark Man]

But why should he let someone else be the big boss?

Good point. Why should the Jarl's let you be king?

[SilverLine]

Why do that when you can just take people's money and kill their enemies like a good little boy? You can do it, just be logical about it.

It's more that my character wants the freedom to live his life the way that he wants, and he wants others to have that choice too. And if he has to start a civil war to get there, so be it... Not saying that that is what he's going to do, It'll depend how the story plays out I guess.

Anyway, I'll have my sheet up in a few minutes probably! Post it here first?

Ah, good. Post it here first, yes, then on the wiki, if you please.

Because I show them my stabs.

You're right. The Mercenary Lord of Laodecia won't be able to muster any respect from his men, being a seasoned veteran and all.

[SilverLine]

Name: Archelochus Potentia (Arch for short)

Title: Captain of the 501st Battalion of Laodecia

Age: 27

Ethnic Origins: Laodecian

Appearance: He is tall, around 6'3, and well muscled. He has brown hair in a short, military cut, and he is most often seen in his Laodecian armor.

Equipment:He carries a 'hand and a half' sword, along with a curved dagger and a shield.

Bio: Arch was born to a poor family. His father was born with a deformity to his foot, and was not taken to the army. Instead, he was sold as a slave. For a long time he was owned by a kindly man from Borkstvo who was living in Laodecia as a diplomat between his country and theirs. He treated Arch's father well, even educating him and allowing him to marry one of the house slaves. It was there that Arch was born, and for the first few years of his life he lived in quiet content with his family.

When Arch was 5 however, the Borkstovian diplomat died suddenly, leaving them to be sold off. His parents were separated, and he was taken to begin military training. After years of not seeing his family, he learned that not long after they were separated, his father had been beaten to death by his new master, and his mother sold to a brothel.

When he found this out, it shaked his belief in his country. He found it becoming more difficult to fight when ordered to, feeling like there was no purpose to it all. He reasoned that there had to be more to life than warfare. People should be given the choice of how they wanted to live. That was when he determined that if he could, he would change things, and ever since has poured every ounce of his being into achieving a position where he could do that.

Now, as the leader of a battalion, and with the shaken political situation after the death of the Prophet King Kastus, the time may be coming for him to make a move.

Personality: Arch is a strong leader, driven and charismatic. With his men he is demanding but kind. He is the kind of man who commands loyalty. Privately he is deeply troubled and wracked with guilt at the things he's done to achieve his position.

-------------------
I'll be adding more characters later, but here's my main to start, Lemme know if I need to change anything!

EDIT: I changed his rank from Sergeant to Captain.

[The Nexerus]

Really sorry to do this, but with everything else going on right now, I just don't know if I can properly commit myself to the roleplay.

I'm sorry you feel like this, Nex; I really enjoy having you around and being awesome and stuff. Shall I unreserve you?

[The Nexerus]

That'd be best.

[Lord Monbodo]
