In For Honor three factions - Knights, Samurai and Vikings are fighting a never-ending battle for supremacy. They are spurred on by Apollyon, a mastermind whose only goal is to release the wolves, people with the will and ability to fight for what they want.
In this game, Apollyon and her schemes doesn’t exist, but the war and the heroes does.
Our heroes will find themselves in a three-way fight (assuming we get players from all three factions) somewhere when suddenly a new challenger appears on the battlefield. Our heroes must fight for their survival against a force they have never seen before, is it possible that a millennia of war has made them weaker than ever before?

What I am looking for:
-General player interest.
-Help with defining the new threat.
-"Generals" able to handle their faction in-game and aid me in designing missions.

Things we keep from the game:
-Hero setup (names, general appearance, general abilities)
-Faction and world history.
-Map.

Things we'll do differently:
-Combos (due to free-form).
-Revenge system.
-Language (there exists a common language, but secrets can still be told in the faction languages).

Viking here!

Samurai for the win!

@GingerBoi123@DriveEMOut

That's great! Would you be open to the position of general? Which hero would you like to play as?

Is it possible to be a male Nobushi. Even if I can't be general as Nobushi.

@Halvtand

@DriveEMOut
I would like to say no in the male Nobushi. I would also like to explain why. It basically boils down to two factors:
1. Nobushi is female only in the game.
2. The slim naginata was historically mostly used by women for defence, but a heavier type were used for men.
If you really want to have a male Nobushi, do tell me why and maybe I'll lift the ban for you :)

Generals:
Any player can be a general and it does not affect their character or anything that happens in game. A general is simply a person who has a broad sense of their faction and its heroes, and is as such able to tell if what a fellow player does is according to or against their faction/hero.
I did not express myself clearly about this in the OP, for which I am sorry. Generals are simply supposed to be a kind of co-GM that can keep track of what their faction is or should be doing to take a load off the GM (me).

Now that I think about it, I'd much rather be a Kensei. I would be able to help you as a General.

I don't mind being a Viking Raider General? I love Viking culture, and not gonna lie, you started this RP as soon as I started watching Vikings on Amazon xD

@GingerBoi123 It all goes to shit. That series pissed me off, I quit watching it

@Halvtand Interested. female nobushi under @DriveEMOut. However I would also play a Lawbringer general.

@ZiFair enough mate

I'd be down for a Knight, dunno which yet.
Could do General.

@DriveEMOut Great, Kensei doesn't get enough love :)

@GingerBoi123 Lovely. Raider is a very interesting hero to play around with. Apparently killed it in a tournament not too long ago.

@Zi You'd have to settle for one character, mate. Also, yo would be the general, not your character. For the story I think it would work better if none of us were actually leaders or anything like that. Just regular old heroes ;)

@Skyrte Nice to see, welcome. Also, if multiple people want to be the general for a faction it is to be settled with a duel to the death IRL... Unless someone retracts their claim on the title that is.

Personally I'm torn between the Conqueror and the Warlord. I love defensive heroes, just hunkering down behind a shield and then popping out to utterly destroy my enemies. I'll see which faction gets less love and join that one.

I'll leave the thread up for a while longer to see if we can attract some more players, but I'll also start working on the OOC tomorrow. I don't expect much from the characters as such. Where they have been and what they have done is not the important part, but rather what they will do, so as long as you have some sort of concept in mind it should work out.

Like I said in the OP I would need some help in defining the enemy faction. I have something in mind already, so it's pretty much down to selecting weaponry, apparel and stuff like that. While easy, it does take time. If you'd like to pitch in, send me a PM and I'll give you something to chew on.

LawBROnger status

A quick question, do our character appearances have to be strictly drawn from For Honor or can we use other sources of art for our character portraits?

Yeah Im going nobushi.

@Cu Chulainn Feel welcome to bro it up!

@Skyrte Any kind of art will be fine. It really doesn't have to match the game concept that closely either. Basically any viking dude with a big axe can be a Raider and any samurai-looking fellow could be a Kensei or Orochi.

@Zi Nice, looks like we're getting a mixed group.

I'm thinking about making a rule, no duplicate heroes. What do you think?

@Halvtand

So long as LawBROnger's it's own separate class from the normal Lawbringer

But really, do you mean no duplicates within the roleplay, or within factions?

Personally, either way, I'm fine with it. Just a bit sad I probs won't be bringing the law

@Cu Chulainn Within the roleplay, as player characters. There may still be other people of the same "type" running around in the world, but not in the group.

@Halvtand

Tempted to ask if we can wait for the first character packs to arrive just so I can be a Centurion xD

Probably might be Lawbringer then, if we do stick to one character per hero.

@Halvtand I'm the only nobushi so I'm good with it
