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.

@BingTheWing Possibly, but that's why you have to use your imagination! It's more of a direct transferal into a different time period - like steampunk or dieselpunk - but more advanced; I'm not sure how that's confusing. I mean, I understand what you're saying, I just don't understand the confusion. As for a 'Space Opera', well, if that's how you wish to see it then so be it.
@Buddha@aviendha@JDolan

Just to say, being a picky bastard, I've decided to change the RP to make it both more open and to a setting/time/place I personally am more familiar with - if you're still down with it then I'd be happy, if not then that's also fine.

This'll be the last time I change it, and if interest wanes, then so be it.
@JDolan No worries, I expected as much. :)

@aviendha You certainly can, am I to assume she'd be a Shieldmaiden rather than your average joe?
Edited the OP for a broader 'statement of intent', and to take us away from linear beginnings.
@Buddha Perhaps, but I was pretty sure that's exactly what I'd presented here - just a bunch of Vikings going 'a viking', not with any real intention of particular factions or people. In fact I'd quite like to stay away from history, but still think sacking an island monastery would be a good place to begin.

As someone of experience then, who would you say is popular? From what I can tell no-one is all that popular as a historical subject, unless you count pirates...but they're pirates. I've already gone for a nice broad Roman-sized brush that never worked.

What can ye do, eh?
@Buddha No worries, I imagine you'll be one of the only interested parties, as - from what I've experienced thus far - 'historical' that isn't sci-fi/fantasy seems to get a rather lacklustre response on RPG. This isn't really the place to talk about that, but it irks me nonetheless.
@Buddha I thought you might say that; probably twice a week if it can be managed, personal situations allowing.
@Buddha I'd like to say 'casual but constant' type pace; won't be whizzing along at breakneck speed, allowing enough time for folks to write a quality post, but not harassing people to post every day. I'd also be expecting people to be able to use their own imaginations and post accordingly without drastically changing things - I've RPed on other sites, so I know it's possible.

Does that answer the question?
No, you can't win in this situation.


Takes a deep breath

Okie dokie, I am going to post, I'm just trying to think of a way to extract my character - or at least get Darren back to where he belongs - without having to fight the unfightable.
Should I expect a post from any of you any time soon, @DepressedSoviet@Andreyich@Dead Cruiser@Hank, or should I just not.
