Two armies have been slugging it out in a frontier territory known as the March. Both sides suffer heavy casualties, the men grow weary, and Fall is coming to an end. As the winds of Winter approach, the two groups cautiously withdraw from the area, intending to wait out the cold until next year. Unfortunately, an ungodly blizzard descends upon the March, leading both armies astray.
You are playing as a soldier in one of these armies (any rank is acceptable, as long as you were not the supreme commander). You and your men were withdrawing in good order until the blizzard hit. Despite your best efforts, you were separated from your allies. Winter has come in all its fury this year, and you have no choice but to wander aimlessly in the white haze.
The RP kicks off when our two characters practically bump into each other during the storm. Mind you, we are from two separate armies and have been fighting a brutal war all year long. Our people hate each other, and chances are we have killed each others friends and family. In any other occasion, we would probably kill each other, but the blizzard urges a different approach. The role play focuses on:
1. Surviving in a harsh environment
2. The relationship of two bitter rivals working together to make it through the storm
3. Exploring the background of both characters, including their family, upbringing, life goals, etc
4. Dealing with various problems, issues, and challenges that arise (that are unrelated to the storm)
The setting is fictional. Magic may or may not exist in this fictional setting; it is be vague/subtle, may be alluded to, but no character in this RP can use it. Fictional races, like elves or goblins, are not allowed - but can be alluded to (as if it was related to your character's mythology).
Your faction is unique, and it can have whatever culture you want, but I would ask you keep it semi-realistic (inspired by real-world cultures). My faction choice will depend on your choice, and I will complement it as best I can. If your faction is fighting a civil war, then mine will be the opposing side; if you are a barbarian tribe, I will play as an imperial force like the Romans (or vice versa). If you're playing as a crusader, I will be a pagan tribesman.
Note: First, I am not known for being a good GM. Second, I will try to post once every few days. Just a heads-up. Maybe this will be different in a 1x1 RP (the first I have done).
