Haha well he sold his caravan to enter politics...he would get all the money he needs from the people now.Still thinking out my house, perhaps a notable merchant who used his money to turn to politics...In that case, you better hope you don't end up with my house as your neighbor.

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

Bio
Hey there, I assume you want to know about me so here it is...
The name is gowia (g-ow-ee-ah) or Alex. Or anything else you come up with, I'm not fussy.
I am a 25 year old male, though comfortably I'll play anything as a character.
I am a Brit born and bred and so that is my lingo, I use British words and love my slang, and if I don't seem to make sense I may simply be using English idioms that don't translate outside the rural country abodes I swan around.
I enjoy all sorts of things, I am an avid football (soccer) player and supporter, adore music, and live for a good story. I am in love with history. So you will always get a decent plot or conversation out of me on that subject.
If there is anything else you need to ask, feel free too. I swear I don't bite... much.

I am just pumped up waiting for it to start. Still thinking out my house, perhaps a notable merchant who used his money to turn to politics...
touche...
If that is what we lords will be able to do to each other then our monarch will have a little less control than you would hope??? :)'Slyly' this ;)
I have updated y extra info, anyone who wants a history with the Ordo please PM me.
An Average Legionnaire:
The Mainstay of the Ordo, the Legionnaire is the grunt and front line soldier, working in teams of 5 too 8 they are armed with a AX-1 Battle rifle, frag and AV (Anti-Vehicle) grenades, Venom side pistol and a serrated Combat Knife.
Equipped with built in personal communicator and combat medi-pack.
Wears full body Flak armor, able to stop a fair amount of firepower however by no means impenetrable and doesn't cover all of the body, that is sprayed silver-white with a gold guard helmet.
If a Legionnaire commends his or her self in battle then they are put onto specialized training courses into the expert use of a certain branch of firearms and tactics. The main 3 are First Contact (Scouts, snipers and camo-armor), Fury Contact (Drop troops, sub machine guns and drop packs) and Power Contact (Heavy Support, rockets and AV equipment). There is also Marine, Urban, Natural, Extreme Survival and Basic Electronics courses though these are optional rather than earned and trainees normally filter back to their original commands, with just an expanded skill set. Marines normally end up ship bound though, being the exception. Those who go through one of the three main branches have their armor altered to include servos that carry the slightly more unwieldy weapons and carry larger ammunition.

The Garage:
An Ordo battalion needs a number of vehicles, be it for rapid deployment or smashing through entrenched opponents.
The first to the front lines are the Dropships which can carry up too 3 squads of Legionnaires or one Large vehicle . They can descend from close orbit to the surface of a planet very quickly and have a small arsenal for ship to ship battle as well as close air support.
The first of the ground vehicles that can be deployed is the APC which can carry up to 2 squads of legionnaires much faster across a battlefield than they could move on foot. Whilst the APC has no mounted weapons it does possess a top hatch for up too 2 to fire out of at once. It also has side and rear hatches for entry and exit.
The Ordo employs the use of Nebula Tanks which have a twin plasma main armament, a front mounted machine gun and a smoke grenade launcher. They are used for battering through heavily entrenched areas and figting other armour.
For long range engagements the Ordo also has surface to surface self propelled artillery, or S2SSPA, which has less armor than a normal tank, as well as this it also has a long range rail gun that can fire shells up too 40 miles. It also has attached machine gun platforms for dealing with threats, specifically attacks from foot soldiers.
Finally, a lighter answer to the tank and faster answer to the APC, the Armored Car can carry up to 5 men and is also armed with an auto-cannon on the top. It is designed to transport a squad more quickly, normally in convoys, whilst having some defense to an armored assault. Though an armored car wouldn't stand toe to toe with a tank.
In which case...my WIP is going up...
Name of Organisation: The Ordo Auream Equitum
Emblem:
The golden Helmet is the emblem and is engraved on every set of armor. The darker image is the tattoo that each member of the Ordo receives to his or her forearm.
Leadership and Structure: The Ordo Auream Equitum is a single organisation that has federalized Chapters all across the Hegemony. The Ordo Auream Equitum bases itself off of the Coven of Jalilu Freemen. Using High Jali as it's base language each member takes a single High Jali name when they enlist. They use the Coven of Jalilu Freemen as their inspiration due to the history behind it. Brave Knights and innovative generals span it's history as well as it's emphasis on moral code, justice and peace. The pinnacle of the The Ordo Auream Equitum's leadership is the Holy Lord-General, currently Holy Lord-General Titus leads the Ordo. Below the Holy Lord-General is the Holy Lord-Protector, a protege to the Holy Lord-General and his right hand in the Hegemony, since the Holy Lord-General is normally preoccupied. The current Holy Lord-Protector is Flaminus. Then below the Holy Lord-Protector is 3 Holy Marshals, each Holy Marshal acts as an advisor to the Holy Lord-General and commands 1 unassigned battalion of Legionnaires. Below the Holy Marshals is the Chapter Masters, each Chapter Master leads 1 battalion and there is 1 Chapter per system. Finally each battalion has it's own set of ranking officers, with the lowest being the Legionnaires. A battalion is normally made up of about 100,000 soldiers, though it can range from 50,000 too 150,000 depending on the size of the system and the recruit pool available. Whilst High Jali is the dominant language officially, it was made more similar to Latin to aid in integrating humanity into the Hegemony.
Alignment and Type: Good, Peacekeeping Force. The Ordo exists to seek out those who would disrupt the balance of the Hegemony and bring them to justice with fire and sword. They have close to absolute authority when treason is proven, and before it is, they have their own authority for investigation.
Base of Operations: The Ordo operates out of an Asteroid Base. The Asteroid is coded Alpha-X1 and orbits the home world of the Jalilu, Laysari, and in common tongue the asteroid is known as The Bastion. A large complex of barracks, archives, space docks, laboratories, foundries, store rooms and defence platforms are built into Alpha-X1 with a large spine of administrative offices and a transmitter as well. It is the size of a small moon and capable of holding around half of the Ordo at once, though it never needs to do that. Whilst The Bastion is the central home of the Ordo, each Chapter has it's own, much smaller, base within the system it protects. Whilst the Bastion is built with a decor style of Ancient Jalilu culture other bases differ depending on the dominant species in the Chapter and many are not built into asteroids.
Assets Available:
The Armed Forces are well equipped and have a multitude of assault and heavy weaponry that can be rapidly deployed. Each Chapter also has it's own garage of of vehicles and transports. They also wear a basic flak armor that is servo-enhanced to allow each Legionnaire to fight at his enhanced best.
Good funding (Though nothing like a fortune, enough to support itself and have some left over for research and rare circumstances e.g. A planet wide purge.)
Advanced, but not leading, technology.
The Bastion.
The Ordo Fleet; A Capital Class Cruiser 'The Glowing Angel' - A hulking behemoth of fire power that bristles with weapons and can hold up too 3 battalions, 2 fighter squadrons, 2 bomber squadrons and 1 Planetary Cannon.
A Bombard Class Cruiser 'The Burning Fury' - A hulking behemoth of fire power that bristles with weapons and replaces it's carrying capacity with extra shielding, armour and gun batteries. As well as 2 Planetary Cannon.
8 Support Class Frigates – Smaller craft that are slightly more manoeuvrable than Cruisers, with less armour and fire power. They do have space for either 1 squadron of bombers or 1 squadron fighters.
12 Escort Class Gunships – Very small vessels that can carry a strike force and have a few ship to ship gun batteries. Each Chapter also has it's own Escort Class Gunship specifically for keeping the system safe and transporting it's forces planet to planet.
History of the Organisation: WIP (Will do this when I have other organisations to work with.)

Name: The Coven of Jalilu Freemen
Type: Ancient Culture
Information: The Coven of Jalilu Freemen, an Empire that spanned one fifth of Laysari during it's peak. The Coven is haild as the 'Father of Classical Art' in Laysari and many ancient philosophers and inventors were born to the Coven. The Coven invented High Jali, an ancient dialect now, that was similar to Latin however it had some serious differences in enunciation an punctuation. This meant during th ages after the Coven that the language was lost as words became more phonetically spelled and so the language was made obsolete. The Coven left behind many temples and is the basis for the structure of most religious sects due to the theocratic system that the Coven used to rule. The Coven was ruled by Holy Elders, who were selected by the gods, and they ruled with complete authority. Knights of the Coven wore gold helms and bright silver armor. Whilst most historians agree that the Coven was a corrupt and oppressive period of history it has still been romanticized as heroic and noble. Putting justice and lawfulness above all else.

Not yet, in the stages of lore making.
The 50 days, obviously during a long war they may be enlisted longer, would be as and when their lord called them up. And so a Knight would only receive pay for the days they were called up, the rest of the year they live on the taxes from their small fief and whatever other activities they took part in. Many tried to marry rich heiresses for the wealth. And with the Knighting I BELIEVE (Though I may, and am happy to, be wrong) was carried out by anyone who carried a title higher than a knight's, so someone who had land to give as a fief.
