Interested. Peloponnesian War sounds awesome.
That is the period I was mostly thinking of, funnily enough. :D

Bio
Greetings,
I am Jb; Briton by birth, roleplayer by my own hand, and lover of literature. I am also an amateur historian, a receiver of a Bachelors degree in Ancient and Medieval History - quite a useless degree, actually - and would like to think that I'm a fair, honest and open guy.
As far as RP'ing goes, I'm pretty open to most things really, all you need to do is ask! :)
So, if you've ever any questions for me, wish to speak about RP's involving myself or run by myself, or simply feel like a chat, don't be afraid to get in touch.

Salvete, one and all,
I have been thinking, for quite a few days now, of beginning my very first NRP; an NRP that I intend to set within the time period of the Ancient/Classical world of the time. This will not be an AU, and there will be no fantasical elements - so if you dislike history, just don't bother reading any further.
That being said, I do not expect people to run out and buy £70 Routledge Press Monographs, nor do I expect anyone to know every detail of every period off-by-heart. That is why I, and possibly other co-GMs (depending on any interest this does/does not get) will be around to help you with any queris or questions you might have.
Now, here are the four options I was thinking of (please note that I am incredibly bad with any sort of stats, therefore any NRP I do create will likely be statless, or have the barest of anything to do with numbers.)
Option 1) The Peloponnesian War: each player take a city-state, major or minor, and must guide it to glory or ruin. Diplomacy, economy and military skills will be needed to survive - especially if you are one of the lesser powers.
Option 2) Diadochi: Alexander's empire has fallen apart with his death, now his generals fight over the carcass like rabid dogs. Players will be able to take the role of the major powers, as well as client/vassal states/powers.
Option 3) Something Roman: Likely the Roman Republic, possibly the first civil war (Octavian VS Anthony), or perhaps even something to do with the empire. The invasion of Britannia did spring to mind.
Option 4) Dark Age/Arthurian Britain: The Germanic invaders have gained a foothold on the eastern seaboard, the Irish and their ilk raiding and invading from the west, and in the middle all those Roman-British and Celtic communities once dominated by the falling Roman Empire.
So, four options, feel free to pick two (or three), as well as any ideas you might have.
Thank you for reading.

I'll get a sheet up by the end of tomorrow, vive la revolution!
Very true! Clearly a lack of godly powers to smite folk has calmed them down a wee bit...although I can see Ares being some form of serial killer, even without any powers.
Righto...
I'll get my character sheet up tomorrow, as well as possibly throwing up the first IC post for this RP. If anyone wishes to join after we begin, then I'm sure we can find some way to include them. :)
Those who are still working on a CS, don't worry! Take your time, I'll make sure we don't get so far ahead that we lose anyone wishing to join. If I actually post up an IC post that is.

Bump?
@Eviledd1984 Right, I'm honestly not sure what to say, so I'll just say this; take some time, re-read the introductory post very carefully, maybe read up on some Predator lore, then take a look at your sheet, edit it, and only then post your sheet into the character tab.
If you can do this, then please do it.
If you cannot, then please delete the post and cease posting in this thread.
This'll be my final word on the subject, thank you.

@KingfisherProbably tastes all horrible and...warpy.
@Eviledd1984That'd be great, thank you.
@Eviledd1984Right, Evil...
With all due respect, did you read the CS profile?
I specifically asked for a written appearance, not pictures, also I do mind him being the Pred from Predator - it sort of completely dismantles the entire concept of the RP.
Now I may sound harsher than I intend to, and I know this is a casual RP, but the current CS - in the state it is currently in - just will not do I'm afraid.
