Now now people we must keep the faith I trust that a intro post will arrive soon plus our time tables could be messed up as far as we know he could be located in a totally different time zone

Can't wait to get this started we got quite the cast of characters it'll be interesting how we all interact

Our chars will be good friend Thorgili!
just read over your sheet sounds like a good pair.
wrote this up on a google doc so i have to put in a few things to make it fancy and clean it up a bit (so for some part a WIP) I had alot of Inspirateion from celtic culture for Muiray (it is quite obvious) with inspiration from Ivanhoe and Gawaine and the Greenknight for inspiration on Eamon's character.
Name: Sir Eamon MacDuggarty the Green of Muiray
Age: 38
Race: Caucasian (Celtic complexion)
Class: Freelance Knight (Previously the Thane of Cawglen and heir to the Duchie of Muiray before exile)
Occupation: Freelancer (He works as a mercenary for lords along with preforming basic knightly duties such as protecting the peasentry and upholding the chivalric code)
Appearance:
Inventory: The bulk of his items are not carried with him on his horse but are carried on a large packhorse which rides alongside Eamon’’s squire Baldrick. the few items he does ride with are his armaments and his lockbox which contain his and baldrick’s coffers along with important documents such as letters of commendation contracts and Letters of Reprisal. other items are:
A leather bound Codex in which he has baldrick describe his adventures and feats.
A small cask of wine
2 wine sacks (one for him and one for baldrick)
A small crate of hard tack
several sacks which hold smoked fish and salted pork
flint and steel
a map of Southern Gaia
Muirish Flute
a pair of spare boots
compass
a bottle of ink and a quill
2 iron tankard
a large kettle
a half shelter
bedroll
A small banner and stand which bears the MacDuggarty Heraldry.
(note this does not include baldrick’s items which are mainly tools such as cooking utensils spade hatchets etc.)
Place of Birth: Eamon was born in Muiray a island province a few miles off the coast of Mainland Gaia near Mournhold. Muirish people have been hardened and grown resiliant to the grey and dank climate that enshrouds their island large rain storms are a common occurrance in muiray and it air is often wet and frigid. Their culture differs much from the culture of Mainland Gaia a people whom on the outside is seen as stoic and stern with every special quirk steeped in tradition and the bloody history of their people. From the begining before becoming a part of the 5 kingdoms the island of muiray has been one of constant warfare with the many clans often warring over muiray’s mountains and glens. Now united by the 5 kingdoms the Muirish still uphold their clan rivalries but instead on the field of battle (aside from the occasional duel or skirmish) they take place in the courts of the Duke of Muiray (previously the seat of the High king of Muiray) and are fought not with claymores or spears but words and a well placed coin or two. While the Muirish have somewhat settled down their errant and belligerent nature has not causing the Island of Muir and the Muirish to become reknown thoughout gaia as skilled mercenaries.
Sexuality: Straight/heterosexual
Marital Status: previously engaged before exile
Brief History: Born to Duke Robert of muiray the first of two sons. Eamon grew up in the life of a noble learning the ways of diplomacy and stewardship. He was groomed as the eventual heir his father and he had constantly quarreled with his brother Patrick who was jealous of his kin’s inheritance. At the age of 15 he was granted the Title of Thane of Cawglen a large castle in Inner Muiray. During his time as thane he did much to help the castle’s peasentry building them better housing at his own expense and during times of famine gave the contents of the castle’s larder to the people. He soon became admired among the serfs gaining much public support. But it was at the age of 24 the Thane’s life began to spiral into a downfall. He held a large banquet at the Castle Cawglen along with a small but luxurious fare in the townstead below to celebrate his father’s 50th birthday. The whole town was livley and full of music inside the castle the strumming of the harp and the sound of the drums echoed through the stone halls. The partywent on for hours each minute filled with good drink and good food but when the time came for the court to return to bed the court was horrified. Duke Robert whom had retired several hours previous was found dead in the bed a spilled class of wine at his bedside. Soon after a chaos ensued as they tired to locate the killer but to most of the court the answer was obvious His brother Patrick was the first to accuse him citing the fact that Eamon was not only the king cupbearer during the event but also said he had over seen the serving of the win himself.Slowly but surley the other counts and thanes turned against Eamon no doubt with the help of a few purse’s of patricks gold. within months he was tired and sentenced to exile in the mainland. So at the age of 24 with his 25th birthday nearing Eamon left his home of Muiray along with his most valuable possesions and his trusty squire Baldrick. Upon landing he struggled to gain the support of the Gaian lords to help and press his claim on the Duchy of Muiray but his words fell upon deaf ears with most lord being indifferent to the happens on the island. with his coffers getting low he decided in desperation to turn toward becoming a mercenary. trading in the silks and satans of nobility for a set of armour and a horse he and Baldrick wandered southern gaia working for the various counts and barons but one thing made him stand out from the swathes of other Muirish Mercenaries and that was the man’s sense of order and morality while his kinsmen would drink and revel at their encampments Eamon instead rode out to the surrounding towns assisting the peasentry whenever possible. in the coming years his fame grew with whole villages turning out to see the green clad knight ride down their streets.Although his knightly appearance for the most part Eamon lived in poverty often sacreficing what little coin or supplies he had left for the people. when he heard of the threat from the northern tribes Eamon decided to leave his current detachment (A minor job protecting a merchant's caravan traveling from mournhold to the sanctuary. He rode for about a day before coming upon the small settlement of Aurora's end where he decided to stay for a time before he travelled north to assist in the defence of the peasentry from the barbarian armies.

quick question what is the approximate technology level as i was a bit confused about it in the OP.
I am up for it just need some time to make a character sheet as for how it should work I reccomend a Roll and keep system like they have in five rings or in 7 seas on a table it usually ends up looking like a mess but online(I played the system online a few times) works like a charm and the whole thing is pretty simple you have a skill check GM assigns a certain difficulty to it and the player's stats decide how many dice they roll and keep and if the roll meets the difficulty passed/whatever the GM thinks should happen but as Renose no matter what we do its going to end with the GM making alot of posts.
I am up for it ideas are racing around in my maybe some sort of CIRA sympathizer character in mind perhaps even ex/still in the CIRA .
