Blood For Coin
“It’s the Crusades, on crack!” - Kangaroo, RPG Mod
The nations of Terra have had a long, sordid history of bloodshed. And where there is bloodshed, there are those who’re willing to pay for it with gold. Recently, however, bloodshed is in high demand, with everyone from dukes to emperors calling for the services of mercenaries. As a result, the likelihood of the fragile peace between nations being broken is an ever-present possibility. A war is imminent between the nations of Terra, and it’s gearing up to be the bloodiest one yet.
In this time of conflict, enter The Sons of the Savage, one of Terra’s most esteemed mercenary companies. The Savage, as they’re called, are known for their willingness to do whatever it takes to fulfill a contract, whether that means the massacre of a village, or the cruelty of slavery. As a result, their reputation is one of terror, which combined with their propensity to accept only the most brutal of recruits, lends credence to their nickname. You, however, are not one of the Savage. Sure, you may have once been one of their number, or even been a veteran Savage, but that is no longer.
You are a free man or woman, once bound to the Savage and their company, but no longer. War has broken out between nations, and you have been left behind in the crossfire. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine, you wouldn’t have been accepted into the Savage if you hadn’t been at least a competent fighter. But these are strange times we’re living in, with strange new technologies accompanying them. Survival is harder than ever for those such as yourselves, especially in times of war such as these.
Knights following chivalric codes of honor, armored in full plate mail charge into battle against hulking war machines that spit death from every side. Mighty keeps that were once impenetrable fall to groups of hastily-trained commoners armed with handheld siege weapons that spray eldritch fire so hot it can melt stone and never cease burning. And most tragic of all, those practitioners of the timeless art of fateweaving find themselves choking on their words as they are assailed by weird smoke that burns the skin and silences the tongue. Indeed these are strange times we live in, but that matters not to one such as you. For you, this era presents you with an opportunity to gain fortune and glory, if you wish it. Which leaves you with a choice: Will you join together with other likeminded individuals and carve your own destiny as a soldier of fortune, or will you lay down and be content to watch Terra change without you?
TL;DR: A Dark Medieval Steampunk Low Fantasy World War 1 Mercenary RP.
Anyway, exposition over, this is an interest check for Blood for Coin, an RP of mine that I'm trying to drum up interest for. I've already got a few friends of mine interested in playing, and I'm actively working on developing the setting for it.
So, if you're interested in something like this, post here, mkay?
