Long ago in Ancient China, Three Kingdoms were at War.

There was the Shu Kingdom, ruled by the benevolent Liu Bei. The Shu nation was one founded in the hopes of spreading ideals such as virtue and benevolence. Liu Bei is the supposed heir to the Han throne. Joining the imperial draft to subjugate the Yellow Turbans, he meets Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and swears brotherhood to them. Empathetic with the common folk, he easily gains the people's trust and support. This particular trait makes him a feared adversary to his enemy Cao Cao.

Though he has earned the respect of many subjects, Liu Bei often doubts his own abilities as a ruler and warrior. He is prone to angst and doubt if there are too many deaths on either side of the field. He sometimes lacks emotional restraint as he will lose his temperament and sound judgment if his younger brothers are routed or endangered.

Then there was Wei, ruled by the ambitious Cao Cao. Cao Cao seeks a nation full of talented men. Cao Cao is seen as a cunning yet feared man. Relentless in his desire to end the land's chaos, he will use any means to achieve his plans, even if it makes him an enemy to the other kingdoms or to the Han Empire. However, he also has a fierce temper and will often scold his men's incompetence if the battle goes badly for him. Caring little about status or olden traditions, he judges men solely based on their achievements and skill. Belying his bad reputation, he treasures his retainers and will treat them with generosity

And finally, Wu, ruled by the Sun family made famous by Sun Tzu. The Wu kingdom seeks to keep the Sun family in power. The Patriarch of the family, Sun Jian, is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. His sons, Sun Ce and Sun Quan are next in line to rule. Sun Ce has a more hot headed temperament, while his brother Sun Quan is known for being a patient, diligent and collected individual. They dearly treasure their lineage and fight to protect it and the clans territory.

Our story begins with the fall of the preceding Empire, the Han Dynasty. Fed of up with the declining Dynasty, the Yellow Turbans had risen and were quelled by the likes of Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Jian. Afterwards, the court had been taken over by Dong Zhou. A coalition has been started by Cao Cao in revolt against the tyrannical Dong Zhou, the battle of Hu Lao Gate has begun!

This is a historical RP with some deviations on specific events. Some things will still be inevitable, like character deaths, the founding of Kingdoms and etc. But other than that, we're free to sway certain battles in different outcomes so everything isn't too predictable.

Rules:
1. Typical RP Rules, I'm God, everything goes through me etc etc. Looking for a GM but you gotta show dedication and talent
2. Use strong communication to make sure everything goes as plan
3. Some knowledge of ROTK is a prerequisite.

[Grec]

Alright, everything's updated and good to go.

[Ryteb Pymeroce]

NAME: Ryteb Pyarros
GENDER: Male
AGE: 32
COMMANDING OFFICER/KINGDOM/UNAFFILIATED: Cao Cao, Wei
WEAPON/MAGIC OF PREFERENCE: Ryteb uses fire and illusion magic to bend the battlefield to his will.
OCCUPATION: Strategist

HISTORY OF CHARACTER: Harking from Japan, he fled his home country due to a misunderstanding involving a couple of angered husbands. He wished to make his mark upon the strings of history, and decided to throw his lot in with Cao Cao, as he was one of the few leaders who judged his allies based on their skill rather than pedigree or nationality.

PERSONALITY: In everyday life, Ryteb acts the fool, and plays that part well, but under his daft demeanour, there lies a shrewd tactician. His presence on the battlefield is like Athena, remaining cold, calm, and collected no matter how bad thing may seem. His strategies are based in large part on the weaknesses of his opponents, having often planned for a battle weeks in advance. A major flaw in his character is his womanising tendencies, and he has often been found post coitus with women of... negotiable affection.

HAIR: Flame Red locks, which comes down to the small of his back
EYES: Orange with a mischievous look to them
FACE AND FACIAL HAIR: Effeminate, and smooth as a newborn
SKIN: Relatively pale, similar to porcelain
BODY: Short and lithe, his body structure is closer to that of a woman than a man.
CLOTHING/ARMOUR: Wears a green kimono tied with a golden sash, along with a pair of wooden sandals.

LIKES: Fireworks, Tea, Reading, Women
DISLIKES: Brutes, Alcohol, Dogs

AMBITIONS: To unite China under one banner
REASONS FOR AMBITIONS: His ambition is not based on altruism or a desire for monetary gain. From his studies, he has learnt that only the winners will be remembered, while the rest fall to obscurity.

@Ryteb Pymeroce Approved, go ahead and post in character tab

[Grec]

Also I'd prefer if we'd use more Chinese names but since your character is from Japan it's cool

[ShatteredZeroxk]

Question, can a character be unaffiliated but be drawn into conflicts on the side of a kingdom?

@ShatteredZeroxk

Yes indeed, you can be one of those Zuo Ci types

[Grec]

Although I recommend joining a kingdom sometime after the Battle of Chibi but there's a lot of inbetween time beforehand

[Grec]

I'll start once we have a character for each kingdom or 5 players

[Ryteb Pymeroce]

Just as a side, I feel like we should be able to change history due to our involvement, like how completing optional objectives in DW8 leads to a superior outcome.

@Ryteb Pymeroce

Yes, we can change the outcome of battles so things aren't too predictable.

[Grec]

Debating on whether or not to change Wei to royal blue since it's easier to read but that shade of blue is Wei's color in game

[ShatteredZeroxk]

@Grec Cool, My character's concept always has him with a tight connection with Wu's Zhou Yu while being paired with Sun Shang Xiang.

When he recovered, he stated he wished to remain neutral in his allegiance but said he would like to remain as he had no memories of his past. He eventually found himself in the care of the Sun family.

PERSONALITY: Reserved and quiet, but his old self of being fierce, loyal, and very reckless can come through when his emotions slip out of his control.

[Grec]

Oh oh, we got a Wu-boy here!

Approved.

[ShatteredZeroxk]

I would like Lu Bu to be a rival/obstacle for my character to overcome as the final barrier for my character to recover his memories if that is okay.

[Grec]

@ShatteredZeroxkWell you're in luck seeing as the very first event is a battle with Lu Bu

[Grec]

Also don't expect to be beating him easily, it's Lu Bu after all and the only thing that could kill him was getting drunk

[Grec]

Also Shattered, please post your sheet in the characters tab

[ShatteredZeroxk]

@Grec My character would have friends in Shu also, namely Xing Cai and Zhao Yun. Maybe we could have Xing Cai join my character at some point.
