Alright, we are now closed. Anyone who hasn't already posted an interest above, will no longer be accepted into the RP. If you've posted your interest, but haven't yet posted your character sheet, you have until 12AM EST to post it up here.
The final and complete update to the Database will be up by then, and the first IC post will follow, allowing you all to go IC throughout the Saturday. I'll be working on the write up for the Database for the next few hours, so if you need to ask me something, either post here, or PM me.
If you were interested in this RP, but failed to post an interest in this OOC before, I'm sorry but I need to cut it off at some point. However, there will be room to join one the first part of this RP is completed, and an entirely new OOC will be posted for that, once we reach that stage of events. So, keep an eye out for it.
Thanks to all of those that have shown interest, and that have posted their character sheets already. We're not far from getting things underway.

Yep. Obviously, base color will be black or dark gray, but highlight colors, as well as your preferred color for your helmet visor can be customized. So if you have a color, post so here, and when I get to your character's Dossier, I'll be sure to make said customizations.
Imma try to ODSTize everyone's portrait image, and then input into this little dossier I made for their profiles. Good thing I have the next two days off of work to get this done.
Starting something cool, since some people wanted to see their character images photoshopped, I'm putting together information dossiers, the first one will be up in a bit. I'm also working on updating the database even further.

Again, I'm looking at either Friday or Saturday at the latest to get things started IC.

Koval looked to Otrygg, and nodded to him out of respect and to accede the floor as it were. He did not however, retake his seat, instead remaining on his feet to answer questions and concerns. Turning a moment to check upon his son Koval the Lesser, then his friend and advisor Toral, he had hoped that he’d done right by them. On the journey south from Arda’Njor, Koval made it clear that he had no intention of ruling as King, but things as it seemed, changed that during the moot.
He was aware of the support that Henrik had secured for himself, most likely prior to the moot, was enough to see him crowned. But to Koval, he was honor bound to at least offer himself as an alternative, in the event that the Jarls would withdraw their support of Henrik.
His attention was then brought to the Merchant Jarl, Bertil, who spoke of opening trade with the Gothran. Koval scoffed audibly at the notion, shaking his head in absolute disgust. He couldn’t believe his ears, that someone would actually suggest something as outright ridiculous as trading with a sworn enemy, then again, Bertil wasn’t your average Jarl, and Koval reminded himself of this. To the merchant, business was business, not war. At least Koval thought, that Bertil was a man who would stick to his convictions.
Koval thought to speak again, and address the foolishness of Bertil’s suggestion, but instead he saw an old friend rise to speak, and held his words for a moment longer. The Old Hound, Zarathustra Metsamees, a man whom Koval had fought beside during the Gothran War, and man whom he’d trusted greatly. When he asked for his ear, he granted it, and saw that his son too looked upon the great man with respect.
When he’d finished his say, Otrygg again addressed the Jarlsmoot, and reaffirmed the question that he himself, and now Zarathustra had asked of Henrik.
Koval raised an eyebrow when Henrik began to speak, perhaps to address this issue finally. But when he spat out a silly misgiven jab about he himself not being a perfect leader, Koval knew that the old man from Tyr had missed the point entirely. Shaking his head, he leant forward as he pressed both of his clenched fists against the table to support himself, and he let out a deep sigh of disappointment.
When Henrik had finished his overly emphatic speech about mercy, and spoke of his grand vision of Norsia, he nearly burst into a loud laughter, stifling himself as he took a deep swig of mead from a nearby goblet.
Koval then spoke again when Henrik had finished ”My father had many sayings, and one comes to mind when I listen to your would be King speak…
‘Foolish is the man who heads needlessly into war, but even more foolish is the man who hides from it when it calls his name.’
…and make no mistake about it my fellow Jarls, war calls to us.”
Taking a moment to stand straight again, Koval looks to each of them before resuming. “The Gothran, cannot be bartered with. They cannot be reasoned with. They understand only force, and respect only the blade. They grow stronger, even now as we enjoy this discussion. How tall will we allow the tree to grow above our home, before we cut it down?”
With that, Koval nods again out of respect to Otrygg, and Zarathustra. He then returns to his chair, and leans back, contemplating what the next move of his Jarldom will be.

First of three parts of my update is up, working the other next part.
So far, everything that people have posted looks good. As far as a start date for the IC, I'm predicting Friday, or Saturday at the latest for the first IC post to be up.
A big update to the Database will be coming over the next few hours as I'm a night bird and generally do my best typing/writing late. If you have any questions for me while I'm on, feel free to post here, or send me PMs.

Henrik is likely to be King, but Koval won't back down; in fact, he's gone full on Migrane now.
Letting out a deep sigh of disappointment, Koval shook his head as Henrik sank back into his chair. In truth, a small part of Koval had hoped that Henrik would rise to his challenge, so that he could offer his support to the man. But it was made fully clear to him now, this was not the man to lead the Kingdom. Koval desired not the throne himself, but he would not see the sovereignty of the Nordic people undone by the inaction of a weak King.
”…you are right to accuse me of concern regarding the Gothran. We should all see what is brooding to the east, and be concerned. You, most of all, as Jarl of Tyr. But rather than ride out and meet this threat, cutting it off before it can become truly powerful, you wish simply to wait and see. You speak of strength, yet you are unwilling to demonstrate it.”
Imploring his fellow Jarls for a moment as he glances to each of them, Koval looks back to Henrik again. “You do a disservice to your people if you do not think that they can rise to meet that which faces them.” With that, Koval looks to Otrygg. “I offer my services to the Jarlsmoot to serve as their King, if they would so choose. I will see done, what Beron failed to. I will see secure our borders, and I will see our enemies conquered.”
