Oh, fair warning: I will be without laptop access from December 13 (December 12 EST) to December 20 (December 19 EST). Sorry for the inconvinence!

Pilgrim's Caravan: An Open-Ended Fantasy (with Worldbuilding!)

@Crimson Flame@lotusthevoid@Letter Bee

Nice!! If this keeps up, we'll be able to open up an OOC in a day or two. I'm just aiming for a few more players.

By the way- be advised, all, that I just updated the "Race and Age" section of the CS to "Race, Age, Time in the Caravan," so instead of just listing your what you are and how old you are, you'll also say how long you've been a part of the Pilgrim's Caravan (ex. "Human, 32, 3 years in the Caravan").

I think it'll be cool to know who's been around longer, since those senior folks will probably know each other already, whereas the newer characters will be meeting everyone for the first time.

@Tortoise

Note by the way that my joining isn't a done deal; I'm just expressing interest but my existing games might experience a resurgence in activity.

I am interested.

Mechwarrior: Disposable Heroes

Raven Rivers

Raven was there, having recovered some of his composure. Nevertheless, his first question to Cassandra was, "So, basically, you want us to pay off our rent for using your place with military service? Considering how potential employers today can run the gamut from reliable to dubious, that's for the Colonel to decide."

To be honest, the madness which had possessed the man was still at the back of his head, waiting for another sufficient provocation to return, but Raven knew it; had made his peace with it while preparing to defend himself and his psyhce against the rage. He sighed and said, "That said, you must have great reserves of personal bravery if you come to a merc company who have suffered a lot from the local inhabitants, who have the gall to imprison their civilian contingent in defiance of all laws of decency."

Looking Cassandra in the eye, he continued a little archly, "What can you give us beyond the necessities for survival? What can you do for those imprisoned in Fort Tie Shan? I'm not blind; it's inevitable we'll have to make a local alliance and you seem to be our best bet. But there's a difference between an alliance we're both committed to and an alliance of convinience. What will you do to make it the former instead of the latter?"

Raven had not lost any drop of his sympathy for Espia's people, but as far as he was concerned, it was best to test Cassandra's charisma and ability to express commitment. Looking much younger than his actual age thanks to the best medical tech, he smiled and said, "But again, it's not my decision..."

The Ghosts of Napoleon

@Willy Vereb

Prussia already has significant catholic populations. They're not the majority, but they are there.

Kulturkampf also being a product of Bismarck is:
1) in the future, beyond the scope of the RP, it's like worrying about the Franco-Prussian War right now.
2) a product of Bismarck, who being a Protestant Junker, may or may not exist or have the influence of his class in Prussian society.

Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - Altered Cast [CASUAL RP]

Astraea Bauduin (NPC)

Name: Astraea Bauduin

Appearance:


Age: 21

Bio: The only heir of the Bauduin family, Astraea led a privileged, if regimented life, one meant to train her for the need to keep the peace as her family saw it. She loved reading and writing, history and politics. But above all, she loved to pilot Mobile Suits, which she learned to do so at a young age. Nevertheless, being a woman, she was not taken seriously many times and had to fight for recognition of her own separate, independent talents. Choosing to be deployed against pirates in her first few missions as an MS Pilot, Astraea proved to be a good and dedicated fighter, even though her initial lack of ruthlessness won scorn from some quarters.

Eventually, she pleaded for and received, the post of 'Special Inspector' for Gjallarhorn, hearing rumors of corrupt dealings on Mars. She planned to bring no one except her trusted bodyguards; she had made few friends in Gjallarhorn's military academy and trusted even fewer of those friends to stand by her when things got hard. For she had learned her lesson in her pirate-hunting days: That people are ready to backstab and slander others, and cannot even be bothered to do so up-front.

She also dated a member of the Fareed Family; it ended so badly that she purposefully forgot all about it, including whether the person she dated was a man or a woman (she is bisexual). Let's just say that she never wanted to see their faces ever again, and is bitter with the Fareeds ever since then.

Mundane Skills: Mobile Suit Piloting (including Gundams), Fencing, Shooting, Embroidery, and First Aid, also Riding Horses and Driving fast cars.

Personality: A curious soul who is less jaded than she assumes she is, Astraea thinks she is subtle and perceptive but actually struggles with the former due to how blatant she can be even when she tries to be cold. She views herself as an 'Ice Queen' who shows little emotion, but this attitude cracks when in the presence of her aides and immediate subordinates, whom she sees as her family. As for the Fareeds, she despises them due to how her past romantic interest was one of them yet that person dumped her, although she secretly fears that it was her fault all along.

Despite being loyal to Gjallarhorn, she holds some sympathies for the Martian Independence Movement but is aware that her views on them can sour the moment they step out of line or prove to be less than benevolent in both intent and methods. All in all, she is someone trying to assume an air of independence and adulthood but is still quite insecure.
