An Empire In Need

@IronWill Don't worry I'll factor that in.

Is it alright for me to give 'em a base of operations, nothing major but maybe a wing in an old Imperial fortress? It'd be sort of the headquarters for Hannes whole operation, so there'd be other Veterans dropping in and out on other missions, but Hannes would only really deal with his inner circle.

An Empire In Need

The Order of the Empire is a large but loose association of Imperial Veterans who have banded together as mercenaries following the fall of the Imperial military. Together they have answered the Emperor's call to arms, asking in return for only enough money to sustain themselves. These Veterans are all patriots at heart and believe that by preserving the Empire they can secure a long and peaceful future for all.

Hannes Schaeffer is the leader of the Order and his own close circle of warriors are some of the best soldiers the Emperor has at his disposal. Due to the independent and versatile nature of the group the Emperor gifted Hannes and his inner circle with three messenger hawks that they might better serve the Empire they hold so dear.

Hannes Schaeffer

Name: Hannes Schaefer
Age: 22
Race: Human
Province: Garna
Weapons: Crossbow, dagger and bastard sword
Skills: Marksmanship, swordsmanship, hand to hand combat, infantry tactics

Bio: Hannes is a veteran soldier, he fought throughout the wars that brought the Empire into existence often on the front lines. He fought bravely under the banner of Malkut dynasty killing a great many enemies on the field of battle seeking fame and fortune. Hannes is a true patriot at heart and will effect Imperial doctrine and training to the letter, as far as he is concerned the Empire comes first in all matters.

During the war he was a Lieutenant in the Emperor's army, that was before the army collapsed in the devastation following the war. After this turn of events Hannes called a great number of Veterans to his banner creating the Order of the Empire, a mercenary group of sorts, but one who's purpose is to serve the Empire above all else.

He and his men are spread thin however, their skills employed across the Empire's territory. So it is that Hannes has immediate command over no more than 5 men, however he and this inner circle are willing to do whatever it takes to preserve the Empire.

Janis Schrier

Name: Janis Schrier
Age: 16
Province: Garna
Weapons: Crossbow, Dagger
Skills: Marksmanship

Bio: Janis is the youngest member of Hannes' group. The adventurous youth enlisted as soon as he was old enough to do so but by then the war was in its final stages. Nevertheless during his short term of duty the youth proved himself to be a reliable soldier able to take down targets with lethal precision.

Anna Tempel

Name: Anna Tempel
Age: 22
Race: Human
Province: Garna
Weapons: Short sword and shield
Skills: Swordsmanship, Medical Training

Bio: Anna has been serving alongside Hannes as long as either of them care to remember. The two have had more close calls than they'd like to admit, with Hannes bearing the brunt of each encounter only for Anna to patch him back together.

Nicklas and Odwin Kahl aka 'The Twins'

Names: Nicklas and Odwin Kahl, aka 'The Twins'
Age: 24
Race: Human
Weapons: Spears, Shields, Short Swords
Skills: Formation Fighting, Swordsmanship

Bio: The twins have been fighting longer than anyone else on the team, the two brothers fighting side by side since they were Janis' age. Hannes has come to rely on these two warriors, both are dependable and capable soldiers, and are utterly devoted to their cause.

Hergard Sullener aka Gizmo

Name: Hergard Sullener, aka Gizmo
Age: 35
Race: Human
Province: Garna
Weapons: Flintlock marksmen rifle, short sword
Skills: Marksmanship, Swordsmanship, Engineering

Bio: Hergard is the old man of the group, he sees it as his job to try and keep the younger soldiers in line when Hannes isn't around. Hergard is effectively Hannes number 2. But above all else he's the man that keeps their equipment in good order and makes sure that they have a technological advantage over the enemy.

@IronWill

It'll be a challenge but Hannes doesn't take all of 'em with him except on very special occasions. Usually it'll be him and just one of the others, think kind of Mass Effect where you pick two companions to go with you on missions, but everyone's there for the final battle.

I intend to handle it like that, provided that's alright with you? I'll right some story to explain why the other characters aren't with Hannes, e.g. he sent the Twins to go deal with a nearby raider attack, whilst he and Anna headed off to the ship wreck they'd been paid to search.

An Empire In Need

@IronWill They'll probably think less of 'em for their lack of patriotism, but they won't hate them unless they actively act against the Empire. Trying to extort them when it comes to jobs, not paying due respect things like that.

Oh by the way here are the five other Mercs, their kit I've made slightly different to Hannes just to make things more interesting but they're still all pretty similar.

Nicklas and Odwin Kahl aka 'The Twins'

Image of one of the Twins, warning it's huge!

(Sorry 'bout the huge image!)

@IronWill Yeah I'll get to work on 'em, but they'll all be pretty similar to Hannes except with some slightly different proficiencies. E.g. instead of being leaders they might be medics, engineers and the like.

The reason being their all ex-military, so they've all got the same equipment and basic training, as well as an almost identical ideology developed during their time in the Imperial military.

Xerxes' 1x1 Interest Check

Wouldn't mind playing the mage in the Mage Adventurer X Adventurer RP.

Run with me, little beast! (all pairings, plots, original)

Hmm some very nice ideas there I must say. I rather like the Sci-Fi one about the super soldier but I see that's taken.

Having a look at the Fantasy suggestions the one about hunters in an enchanted forest and the one about the dark mage sound very interesting.

Then we come to the idea I really like, I love the idea of an RP set during the Russian Revolution. I have to say after studying it for A-Level History I'm surprised there aren't more games and narratives set during this time period.

Fallout: Shelter RP

Perhaps, what were you planning to do, to provide some action? Are you going to throw in problems we'd see in the game?

I'm liking the sound of this, consider me interested.
