Omnes Britannia: Primitus

Care to let the GM in so I can accommodate?

Omnes Britannia: Primitus

I wouldn't worry about time. The initial date was for setting a stage. And we should try to not all meet up in one spot. This isn't a tabletop. Splitting the group is a good thing.

Also, please, for convenience, when you post, guys, make a note of where you are geographically. I want there to be potential for meetings and passings in the RP, without a clot of characters just yet. For now I have Roland in Ulster, I figure mortalbean will be controlling house Burgh, even if his character is not present there.

Omnes Britannia: Primitus

Introduction

"It's been almost 500 years since the great king unified Britain..."

"Your majesty?"

"..." The old man looked up at his adviser. Though he was not dressed in particularly regal garb, the man was the king of England. "Ah, sorry, I was merely thinking. For these 500 years the Arthurian Alliance has stood... But surely you know of the rumors... Those of Scotland speak of rebellion... They wish to no longer be governed by the alliance... There have already been squabbles in Ulster... The official word is that Ireland was attacked by barbarians, but..."

"You believe it Scottish liberationishts?"

The king nodded tiredly. "Indeed... And I am concerned," he coughed. "The alliance will not stand too much longer... We are all people, yet why can we not stand together? Are our traditions and histories really that incompatible?"

"Your majesty..."

"It is unfortunate... Tell me, how old is my son?"

"He is 24 and 3 months, sir."

"Of course... Still a child, truly... It is most unfortunate..."

"Sir?"

"Yes, most unfortunate... The inheritance I leave him will most certainly be the bloodiest war seen on the British soil in over 500 years... And there is nothing this old man can do to stop this..."

"Sir, but certainly you could visit with Queen Mary... Perhaps try and reason with her."

"That would be the dream... But alas, I know my health would not allow it..."

"Your majesty... Certainly you don't mean..."

"I do... I am not long now... It is time for my son to take the reins... I hope he is able to bring this to a close... Without too much bloodshed."

"Sir... I understand. We can only hope to put our faith in the young lord... In the knights... And in the people of Britain."

"Indeed... Now then..." The king coughed. "This old man isn't quite gone yet. Would you put out for a glass of mead?"

"Of course, sir..."

~~~House Burgh, Ulster, Ireland. March 3, 1026~~~

The young knight had arrived at the house early in the morning with his entourage. There were still signs of battle around, but the castle had stood firm. Roland had arrived on that day to petition the masters of the house for aid at the king's behest. For now, though, he waited, with a small platoon of soldiers, for any response from the master or keepers of the house.

And here's the OOC link: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/73533/posts/ooc. Looking forward to starting, and still accepting new players.

Omnes Britannia: Primitus

Alright, guys, going to get this started in a few hours. Let the hype train roll into the station! I will be adding a link to each accepted character sheet in an edit later today, as well as an intro post. Even though this has begun, I am still welcoming new players to join, and if you are interested, the Character Sheet template is as follows:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance:
Personality:
History:

The rules are pretty simple as well. This is a low-casual low fantasy RP, so you are expected to use proper spelling and grammar, but post length does not need to be anything extreme. I'm expecting at least three sentences a post, so this rules paragraph would be perfectly acceptable for an IC post, if a little boring.

Anyway, here are the actors on the board:
Roland Pendragon
Morwyn
John Burgh
Gandor Donald
Adelaide
Yahutz Finnagin

Anyway, hope you guys all have fun, and feel free to socialize, ask questions, lounge, whatever. This OOC should be just as much for hanging out as it is for technical RP crap, so just let loose. Only ground rule is don't enter the OOC naked.

Woohoo, it took a while but at long last it's finally happening

Yep. And you were with it way back when it was just a generic fantasy RP. Hard to believe muh baby's come this far!

Accepted once you make note of where your dude is from. I will be writing an intro post for this tomorrow, but I am still accepting new character.

Stay tuned, sports fans.

Bump. Really just need one more person to start.

No worries. My job as GM is to clear up these points of confusion, after all.
