Kings and Queens of Heaven (A Crusades era RP)

[Ubermensch]

During the Crusades, the Christians and the Muslims clashed for the holy land. As expected, both sides fought valiantly. The Templars and the Asasiyun, knowing that all successful warfare was based on deception, allied with each other in the shadows. Tricking their enemies into thinking both factions were at war, they instead attack mutual enemies.

Bump. I'll also post a CS soon as an example of a character I might look for in the OOC.

[The Silver Paladin]

Wait, can I join as a Knight Hospitaller? (They were in the Crusades as the other half of the Crusaders. The Hospitaller were more guardians, as they owned castles along the route.)

I'll consider it. Besides, the RP will have not just combat, but also diplomacy and political intrigue. If your character is in hoots with the Templars, it'll help.

Here's the Character We talked about in Chat.
Name: Alexander Adler (Alexander the Eagle. I will change if this seems to modern.)
Gender: Male
Age (18-21 year zone recommended, given age inflation of 1.5 years for every 1 modern year): 19
Faction (Asasiyun or Templar): Hospitallers (Medics)
Bio: Born to Noble German parents, It was only natural for him to go into the Knighthood. He trained with a Knight who had been on the Second Crusade, and knew the ropes fairly well. When he became a Knight officially, he was accepted into the order of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem. (The Hospitallers.) Just as the Third Crusade was starting. He saw his master killed in an ambush on the way, and he escaped. HE arrived in the Holy LAnd and took a job as the fort medic.
Personality: Quiet, Strong, Caring, Has a sense of humor.
Strengths: Smart (For the time.), Brave, Strong and Agile
Weaknesses: Because he's a Medic, he's vulnerable (Geneva Rights weren't around yet.), Seriously what we call ADD now, impulsive.
Appearance (words or pictures, though a picture says a thousand words): In armor:
Other: about 5'10", and 150 LBS.
I will add more alter if needed.

Very good. Once I set up the OOC, the character will be official.

Oh no. We have not taken to the official OOC yet. PM me for any questions. I also frequent the IRC.

Reviewing your character, it is improbable (if not impossible) that a nine year old by today's standards would be allowed to participate in war. We did recommend the 18-21 range. You might want to do your homework on the subject. There will be not just combat, but also political intrigue. Also for women, there would be included in this RP as "exceptions to the rule" and treated as such. In a practical sense, they would never let her into battle. Reasons being is that she's too young to die. If her age was doubled, your character might be a whole different story. Also, it would be likely that Lily would be a background type rather than outright main character unless you expand or refine the CS. The OOC will have a more in depth review.

I apologize if I sound too judgemental. I just find the set up of your character sheet not very pragmatic. Because if you list six in medieval years, that means nine in today's years. Also, your character cannot be truly neutral in an RP with good amounts of political intrigue. Very dirty business for little children. Also, keep in mind that the main players are Europe and the Middle East for now.

TLDR: Do some research and refine the character for official usage.

I can get behind this

[Sugihito]

A Byzantine character aligned with the Templar or the Asasiyum possible?

Byzantines were around by the time of the crusades. So yes. You may.

Now that I have a healthy amount of interest, I shall do the IC and OOC tomorrow. I never knew that I'd be flooded.

[Ubermensch]

I deliver on my promises. IC and OOC will be right here!

[KnightsTemplar]

Hmmmm, this looks interesting

Jump into the OOC if you like. It's right here as a reminder.
