He has other smaller investments but most are undisclosed for various reasons.
Seeing oncoming events Christopher now finds himself on Clarendon and seeks to buy as much land as he can on the continent being that is has the best conditions for food, a market essential and incredibly profitable if developed correctly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Introduction------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello and welcome to Hellbent, a tale of sell-swords and Necromancers. This will be a character driven dark and gritty role-play, hopefully with some playful wit thrown in. I'm looking for probably 3-5 people to play a group of mercenaries that will be hired by the Barron Tygrim to go out into the wilderness to collect a mans head. I'm looking for High-casual standards, I would like between 3-5 paragraphs per post any less is not really enough and any more gets tedious to read, at least for me. I like quality over quantity.
In other news this will be a low fantasy RP your characters will not have any magical ability nor will they be used to seeing it, they cannot tackle rhinos to the floor but instead will bleed out to sword wounds etc. Your human, act like it. I will not be forcing death on anyone obviously but I like it to be a possible outcome, if your character does die then feel free to make another but with the small size of this RP I'm sure it will be heavily discussed beforehand. The technology level will be medieval era, not so much full plate all round but leather and chain armour etc. I'm sure you get the idea.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Plot-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being a mercenary your quite used to travelling from city to city. Whether your finding new contracts or cashing in on existing ones, none of you are strangers to the 'ins and outs' of the job. As fate would have it you find each other in the same city. Embedded into the mountain-side is the impressive city of Persk. Tall stone towers watch over the bustling hub of civilization. Walls are covered in white and blue, the colours of Persks patron. At first you do indeed think it odd to find so many others with whom you share a profession, gathered in the same place at the same time, but it soon dawns on you that the reason you personally came here will most likely answer the question.
An open invitation! to any and all mercenaries who find themselves in need of a contract, and whom can swiftly find themselves in Persk within the next few days. The Barron is in need of good men with fighting skills who can accomplish any task set before them, anyone who answers will be handsomely rewarded at quests end and will forever find themselves in the debt of Barron Tygrim.

A book, no, Tome was stolen from the Barron by an unknown person and you lucky few are tasked with its retrieval. We have a small amount of information as to where to find this person but for the most part you will be by yourselves. Of unknown origin and equally clouded intentions this man has been labeled as a traitor to the Barron and his household and you are permitted to dispatch him in any means you deem necessary.
Whilst it is not imperative it is greatly suggested that you each work together upon this quest as if this favor is completed quickly your rewards will only be greater.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rules------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1- The boring bit. No god-modding or manipulating other peoples characters etc etc. You know the drill, just don't be a dick.

2- I am the GM's and as such my decisions are final, whilst I don't mind people voicing their opinions don't drag things out into arguments with me as I will have 0% tolerance. I try not to bite but I will bite back.

3- Have fun, hopefully we can make something really cool. I would like this to last for a while.

- Personality -
(Also self explanatory. A window into what your character will be like among the other Mercenaries)

- Excerpt -
(I would like only a small 2 paragraph taste of what your writing style is like, I'm looking for good writers who can really enjoy using their characters as I think that will make this RP successful)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Map--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the map to the land the RP will be set in, I'm not good at editing images in the slightest and that's why it has pre-existing labels on it for land names etc, if any of you who enjoy image editing would like to lend me some help in the map modification if would be greatly appreciated (also with the banner up there ^).
Anyway for the RP the city of Persk will be situated on the western front of the mountainous spine in the middle of the map, the part that almost makes a little alcove. That's where you begin.

Great, thanks.

The Shadows of Aeios

This is what I have so far, I hope it's up to scratch. Please tell me what needs to be changed and I'll have a go at making it so.

- Name -

Male

- Age and birthday -
27 years old, born the 11th of June of the year 1274

- Origin -
He is of low nobility, born from the Lesser House of Perar

6'0" with a slender build

- Weight -
185lbs

- Sexuality -
Heterosexual

---

- Appearances -

---

- Occupation -
Damien has the head for politics and as such he has made it his goal to make his way to a seat on the senate.

- Favorite phrase/saying -
"Treachery is noble when aimed at tyranny"

- Favorite Food -
Cherry's are his favorite food and he is often seen still nibbling their stalks

- Favorite Weather and Season -
Winter and snow

- Patron God/Goddess -
Araos, God of Intelligence and Knowledge & Irtan, God of Courage and Chance/Luck

---

- Personality -
Despite being of low nobility and thus not being granted the highest education available Damien is a rather intelligent individual whom has learnt his way through life thus far, he could be described as an intellectual who spends hours reading books and the like but it when he comes into contact with people when Damien really shines. He has learnt through multiple methods most prominently examining himself and his own personality how to manipulate others and to play people off on one another. He is a very ambitious person and he intends to use his future power and influence to improve the standing of house Perar and to catapult himself even further.
On the face of it Damien is a polite and hard working member of house Perar, he is generally one to make a joke and enjoys toying with others and deliberately putting people off balance.
He is similar to his sister in many ways, as he knows that she isn't the paragon that everyone seems to believe. However being her brother Damien is rather protective over her and is looking forward to the day that their paths cross not just as siblings, but as rivals.
Damien has never seen the allure of courage and fighting his opponent head on, he sees the fight in the shadows that is played between minds to be the most important and honorable fight.

- History -
Damien was always interested in the ideals and inspirations of others. He always wondered about his fathers desires and why he was content with being an servant for the high house of Rynir. His father was a good man and Damien respected him but he did not share the bakers ambitions, no Damien aimed much higher when imagining his own destiny and after years of education and teaching himself in the only library available to him he was able to give himself at least a chance of reaching those impossible dreams he had set for himself so many years prior.
Damien is focused on getting himself a seat in the senate, something he sees as essential if he wants to continue along his current path and hopefully manage to make the name of Perar great. With only his intelligence he often seeks travel to the capital so he can learn more about the government and the senators themselves as he realizes that if he one day does manage to gain a place among their ranks he will need allies and he will have to know whom to trust and whom to manipulate.

- Clothing and/or armor -
Damien generally walks around in tight fit leather clothing with the etched designs of house Perar, these are his everyday clothes which most people see him wearing. He does also posses armor but hasn't yet been involved in a conflict in which he needed to wear it. With red shaded leather and chain mail stained a dark reddish colour and with lines of gold in its lining. It is a very fine set of armor and whilst he doesn't have the time to devote to his physical training he hopes he can live up to its appearance if he ever needs to wear it.

- Tools and weapons -
=======
Damien has little need for swords or bows as he does most of his fighting in the quarters of nobles. He does have a small dagger that was bestowed upon him by his father when he was the age of five. He has kept it by his side ever since and it can often be seen strapped to his belt or somehow fixed to his waist.

Whilst he doesn't carry it around with him Damien does have a sword that is placed with his armor in his personal quarters but it is rarely taken from it's sheath let alone used.

It's not that it's the fact that I've been shot down three times so far. I'll figure something out and post a cs up tomorrow.

EDIT: Double post sorry.

The Shadows of Aeios

Hamster said Is being a foreigner that important? Surely you can reach into your bag of ideas and reroll a non-foreigner? Even within the 'limitations' (which, as far as limitations go, is far from actually limited), there are a thousand possibilities for an interesting character. But hey-ho, each to their own I guess.

The Shadows of Aeios

Well. This isn't going so well.

The Shadows of Aeios

I get the limited starting position and class but am I allowed to claim he was originally born somewhere other than Awom as to have an eastern influence in my character? (The merchant I'm going with) and how successful can he be as a commoner?

The Shadows of Aeios

Alright

The Shadows of Aeios

Hmmm, I don't suppose there is an option of being an Assassin is there? either for hire or a personal one to a family or even the empire.
