Vikings

[The Scotsman]

If anyone has seen the history Channel show Vikings, you'll know how gosh-darned badass that entire affair is. So badass, in fact, I'd like to make an RP about it. Fictional characters in a non-fiction timeline (similar to Sharpe), I'd like to have a story about a group of marauders travelling to France, Britain, Germany etc and the battles and lives they lived. I'm going to need at least a basic knowledge of the vikings, and a decent grasp of punctuation and grammar. Strong violence and gore, and possibly sexual references (I can't stop my warband from taking their rightful winnings, can I?).

So what do you guys think?

Being our very own resident Brazilian Viking, I find myself immensely interested...

[The Scotsman]

Good stuff! Vikings has to be one of the most interesting races (for lack of a better word) ever. Their mythology is simply incredible. I'm glad you're interested though.

[Eddie Swiss]

I'm pretty interested.

However, the only knowledge I have is learning about them briefly in school.

[The Scotsman]

Think of this as more of a on-the-go learning process then. Google it, read a Wiki, ask any specific questions you have. Thankfully there are a lot of materials regarding the vikings.

Good stuff.

I'm down with this. I will say, I am in the same boat as Eddie.

[The Scotsman]

No problem. Google stuff when and where you require and I won't ask any questions. I'm not after a 100% historically accurate roleplay, acceptances can be made, but I'm just trying to create as much of an authentic atmosphere as I can without hindering the interest of everyone.

[Eddie Swiss]

Will our characters be able to die if we make poor choices?

[The Scotsman]

Yes, definitely. I'll leave that to you, but if I feel they should've died, I will kill them.

Alright, sounds good.

[The Scotsman]

I think another one or two people should be enough, what do you guys reckon?

[Wriggle]

I'd be up for it! Bring a little feminine blood lust to the battle! =)

[The Scotsman]

Great! One more, then I'll be happy. A small raiding band :)

[Wriggle]

Hahahaha >.< Oh yes, it shall be amazing. I need to watch that though, I mean, I know quite enough about vikings, but it just seems like it'd be an awesome show to get into.

[The Scotsman]

It really is. Well-acted, well-written, really great action scenes. I can't praise it enough.

[Wriggle]

I love the tattoos. I think I may make my woman a tattoo artist. Like....I don't know...she's going to be an odd one.

[Eddie Swiss]

How is it compared to GoT in terms of violence, and sexuality?

[Wriggle]

Murg, off to work people. Talk to you in a few hours.
