Names:

Old World: James

New World: Do undead Will o Wisps have names?

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Personality: Back in the Old World, James was a friendly guy who simply liked to help out others and serve as a mentor or a guide to those who needed it. Although, ironically, he often found it difficult to ask or accept from help from others whenever he was in need. Often suffering alone and in silence, James would seemingly have grumpy phases where he would oscillate between being a very talkative, helpful, joke-cracking, friendly person, and a gloomy, quiet and distant recluse. But, one thing was certain, James would always figure out his problems one way or another as years of being independent had made him resourceful. He just needed time, and eventually would return to his cheery self.

Other than that, he's generally a talkative fellow who cracks jokes and puns pretty often as long as it's appropriate.

History: Prior to finding himself in the New World, James was a diligent, hardworking young attorney in one of the largest law firms in the world. While most attorneys only did a handful of pro-bono cases per year, James's yearly casework had a significant portion specifically allocated for pro-bono and public interest cases. Although that ate into his hours billed, he was a damn lawyer and wouldn't starve any time soon. Life was comfortable for him and he found his work to be very fulfilling and challenging. He didn't need to have a penthouse in the downtown area. He grew up with modest means and found the decadence and opulence of the elite to be too much for him.

Life was good for James. While he didn't have a lot of time to meet people and to have a lot of relationships, he found meaning and passion in his work. Tragically, the last thing he recalls of his old life is him driving in a storm back home from court when a utility pole fell right in front of him and sparks flying everywhere.

Ooooof, looks like I'm a little late to the party. Would love to join, but seems like you've got a lot of interest already. Let me know if you've got any space for me to squeeze in!
Understood, I just wanted to how eurocentric the culture is. I had some ideas for an Andes/native american mountain cultures or even east asian mountain cultures, but if we're sticking with generally European then understood!
Interested as well!

Edit: How flexible are we allowed to be with out interpretations of the Angaturiz?
Looks promising!
James Zemurray took to the podium and cleared his throat before continuing to speak

"Gentlemen, friends, and citizens of Balruba! On behalf of my compatriots to the north, I wish to congratulate you all in these trying, yet hopeful and exciting times. While I may not be a citizen of Balruba, I have the fortune and privilege to call many of you my friend. It is for that reason that I wish the best for the nation and its people. Thus, it is out of concern that I have come to speak in this Conference. The United States was designed with one basic concept in mind. To preserve liberty and freedom for its people. Not only from Tyrannical Kings, but also from the tyranny of the majority. We have all seen the horrors that have occurred in Germany, and how populist uprisings in a Republic could lead to the gruesome images that we have all undoubtedly seen of the various concentration and labor camps such as Dachau. The government must be a beacon of stability, not subject to the fickle whims of the people or to the trickery of a charismatic artist, thug or charlatan.

Thus, I urge you all to vote for the formation of a bicameral system that values both the value of the people and of the provinces of the state. This is a form of governance that will provide a voice to the minority that would otherwise be washed out and prevent populists from causing unrest and instability in this new nation."

James is the 3rd son of a major shareholder of the United Fruit Company who has been very active in the recently independent island to establish business relations as his first major assignment. Now that the island is sovereign, James' work has paid off as he had been given the green light by the government to bring in foreign investment into the country.

I think so, join the discord! Most of the OOC/organization stuff happens there.
Potential demi-god here! Link to discord please?
The Lady Saphira, or her mortal coil, began to climb up the tallest tree that she could find. "Wha- what are you doing?" The shaman stuttered. Offering no explanation, she continued her ascent to get a better view. Salvdal, seeing what she was doing, knew what the plan was. Like a hunter, they would face a large pack of predators by taking down the pack leader, throwing the pack into chaos and infighting. Except this time, it was an army. Lady Saphira began to scan the camp to see if they could determine the leadership of the army, or at the very least find the spirit that guides the army. With a single long draw of a bow, Lady Saphira would attempt to throw the army into chaos, at the very least buying time for the Attolians by using hit and run tactics, something that the spirit was clearly very capable of with her physical acumen and archery.

Salvdal, doing what he does best, began to scan the area to see if there were any stray, lone targets from the army, perhaps they were foraging for food, patrolling or using the bathroom. Regardless, if he could capture one of them, then he was confident in his abilities to make the prisoner talk and tell them about the army, its leadership, and where their leader was. They needed info somehow and he would try to track down the lone deer that is straying from its herd.

Back at the Attolian camp, Caelis ordered for the settlement to continue to evacuate, but also called for volunteers to form a militia. They were elves. They were swift, skilled with the bow, and very capable with magic. Speed and range in the flat plains are deadly. Caelis did not plan to fight a pitched battle, but rather use the militia to skirmish, harass, and generally prevent the enemy from scavenging or foraging for food. The plains were not friendly and did not have much food. So, unless the enemy had a lot of stored food, which would be unlikely as it would weigh them down, then the enemy clearly were relying on foraging. The militia could effectively launch attacks and raids on foraging parties.

---

Summary:

Event: Lady Saphira hatches an ambitious plan to try to find and assassinate the leadership of the army or at the very least the spirit that guides the enemy with Salvdal trying to capture a lone soldier that strays too far from the camp for information.

The Attolians continue to migrate north, but Caelis asks for volunteers to form a militia to conduct raids, and hit an run attacks to wage an asymmetrical war against the enemy.
