Just saying that perhaps you didn't check here again because I edited the CS into my post instead of posting it anew.

I think GB has an enormous rebellion on its hand regardless of whoever's orders they follow.

Well I might just as well put myself on the waiting list.

1) Belgium
2) Switzerland
3) Netherlands

/me eats popcorn. This is a gem to read. Sadly noone is really playing into the industrial revolution much,or caring about the colonisation of mainland Africa. That'd prove to be a nice incentive for potential war in Europe.

Bio:
Henri II de Montpellier was the third Son of Guillaume XI de Montpellier, since long lords over the city and the province of Languedoc in the South of France. Despite the dent in their lineage after the marriage with King Peter of Aragon in the 13th century, their line has carried on proudly. However, as a third son, Henri found himself as unwanted in the court of his father during his earlier years, where he was ignored in the favour of his two elder brothers. As his mother had died many years before during the birth of his younger sister Marie III, he did not find the attention he wanted there either. Instead he turned to faith, becoming a devout Huguenot, a French Reformatsits based on the works of Jean Calvin. Even though his family too had accepted this new faith, none of them was as devout as he was, which only increased the strain between them. When the Italian wars recontinued in the form the War of the Leage of Cambrai, he decided to leave his father's household as a 15-year old and join King Francis I on his campaigns in Northern Italy. One year later he fought on the French side in the Battle of Marignano where a decisive victory was achieved against the Swiss mercenaries that had assailed them, and was greatly inspired by the presented tactics. The previously so invincible Swiss pike squares, impenetrable to both infantry and cavalry, a formation that could shrug off ranged attacks, had been completely slaughtered by heavy gunfire and repeated cavalry charges. This clearly was a turning point in history for the young man, who gained a new interest in life except his faith. Becoming a promising officer in the French army he wisened up about the art of war, and started forming his own theories of how battle would be most efficiently waged over the years.
With the continuation of the Italian Wars in 1520 he once again campaigned with King Francis I, managing several resounding successes untill he fought in the disastrous Battle of Pavia. During the chaotic battle he was one of the many French nobles taken prisoner by the Spanish and Austrian forces, and was held for ransom. He spent a few months in enemy companionship untill his father bailed him out, where he received a dire reprisal for his misdeeds. During the many years he had been away from home, a repressive policy by King Francis I against the Reformist Huguenots had destabilized the situation in the South, and his expensive ransom was not heling at all. Leaving home as soon as was polite he travelled to Paris where he started writing his theories about modern warfare and tactics into an unorganized collection of notes. Henri II had formed a great desire to reform the French army to a model that would work more efficiently and would be more flexible. He intended to increase the firepower that had proven so important during the Battle of Marignano and that had been so sorely lacking during the Battle of Pavia, partially due to the early hour and the obstructive terrain. He wanted to arm the cavalry with pistolts and lances to enable them to deliver their shock at range and up close and personal, to preserve their strenght.
As the Italian conflict renewed in 1526 in the form of the Leage of Cognac, he once again campaigned with his King. This campaign however ended swiftly for him as a point-blank musket round managed to incapacitate him indefinately during a skirmish near Genoa, and he was sent home once more. Arriving at his family estates he grew increasingly spiteful of King Francis' reign, as his initial elan wore off as he lost more and more conflicts and increasingly repressed the Protestant population, which was steadily growing to large numbers. It was at this time, in the year 1530, that he decided to move to England, where the Protestant cause seemed to be gaining a lot of influence at the Royal Court, and where he intended to reform the military and aid the Protestant Cause.
Upon his arrival he was tolerated in the Court, but never taken too seriously by King Henry VIII concerning his military advices, and as a result much ignored. Growing spiteful of his achievements both here and at home, he spent the years there working on his theories in all freedom, slowly gatheringmore influence for them amonst contemporary men of the English military. When the English went to war against France under Henry VIII, he refused to answer the call to arms from King Francis I, nor aided the English directly, and stayed home, instead furthering the Portestant cause after the major breach with the Vatican had occured, and a new Anglicanistic Church had been founded.
Strangely it has never really seemed as a matter of importance to him to get married, except as a mean to achieve something greater, and never really longer for it either. However, with the recent death of King Henry VIII and the chance to change England for good into a Protestant realm with both the impressive fleet it already boasted and a new invincible army did seem very interesting to him, opening several new perspectives for the future. However, remaining temperate as ever, he will not strive for impossible things. He will do anything to achieve his goals; to make Protestantism in England the dominant religion, and to modernize the English army, boh in organisation and in efficiency on the field.
Personality:
Henri is a bit of a rough and stubborn man, focussed on his goals. He is friendly and can even be charming in his own way, but most of the time he is striving to achieve whatever he thinks is worth of achieving, and as a result can be a deceptive man. He is both a military thinker on the field as in the court, and it shows. He is generous and well-intentioned though, however harsh he may seem, and is very much influenced by the Protestant ideals. He is a pragmatic man who is convinced of his own ideals and cause, and may show radical traits when executing his agenda.
Skills:
° Master tactician
° Decent Strategist
° Good soldier and commander
° Good with words

This is gold to read. I dig your IC. I feel like joining but I fear I will drown in the complicatedness and required activity. Maybe I can finally integrate the Netherlands into Belg- ... What are you looking at?
Allright, I like your character, but I don't like that Kekkei Genkai. What you are doing is literally nigh impossible in the real world, and it is so extreme it'd probably be the same in the Naruto world. I'm no rocket scientist and even after browsing the internet to fill up my knowledge on the subject of turning heat, which is an energy, into matter, I can't tell jack shit about it.
In any case, every situation where energy is turned into matter required extremely advanced equipment due to the extreme conditions required to form this. I don't think I can accept that kekkei genkai based on the fact that:
A) I question the physical possiblity of converting heat into matter.
B) I question the amounts of heat required to create a certain amount of matter.
C) I find it too complicated.
D) I find it overpowered. This is essentially Gaara's sand with the addition that here you can create it out of heat which is pretty much everywhere a human can survive, and it turns into heat again when it falls apart, allowing you to freely control said matter as 'sand' and then have it become the equivalent of a teleporting forge in which to bake your enemies while doing everything Gaara can do with his sand.
Result: I would heavily modify and clarify said kekkei genkai in detail, or just discard the entire idea. I don't want to sound rude or harsh, but I can't accept that if I am ignorant about what it does/can do. Example: If I accepted this anyways and suddenly you, who knows more of it, starts I don't know, taking away all heat around a person and insta-freeze him, your character would be blatantly OP.

Kensuke Nimatsu
His attention was drawn from the upset Sachiko as Ezuri woke up and started moving, quickly told by a 9-year old to stay still with an authority that baffled Kensuke beyond reason. The Hyuga obeyed meekly, fixing the situation rather quickly. The rather surprising outcome of this allowed him to go after Sachiko to ... do what? It was a part of his job to get hurt, and Sachiko should know that perfectly well, being a shinobi herself. Why was she so concerned about him then? He felt guilty for making her this concerned, but that scratch, he hadn't even noticed it, so incredibly superficial was it. Sighing in frustration because he simply couldn't find out why she was so upset about it he returned to the entry desk. Women!
He arrived to see her welcoming some old woman who came for a treatment of sorts, and politely and patiently waited, leaning against the wall. Once she had helped the woman on her way, Kensuke approached her, noticing she looked as if nothing had ever been wrong at all. "You know, being a shinobi, getting hurt is a risk of the job, right?" He carefully asked her, upon which she punched him in the shoulder. "Ofcourse I do, you dummy. I'm a shinobi myself. I just meant that you should take better care of yourself. Unlike tools it cannot be replaced." She answered semi-seriously against her own will. She had tried to sound playfully, but couldn't quite hide the fact that Kensuke was so oblivious about. Luckily his utter lack of social skills made him sigh in relief. "I know, I know." He replied, shrugging. Turning around and leaning against the wall, he then chose to remain silent. He felt as if an awkward silence had fallen between them, but he could not point out why. The same counted for Sachiko, but she thought she knew exactly why.
"Anyways, I'm a bit concerned about that genin. We had a set-up mission where we would execute a number of 'released' convicts, a relatively difficult mission for such fresh graduates. But certainly one we should be capable of doing. All of the genin had the required skills to survive unscathed, but... Not the required mind it seemed. Teamwork was an unachievable ideal it seemed, and they all basically ran off in another direction as we attacked. You can observe the results." Kensuke started, making Sachiko blush in surprise a moment, not that he noticed anyways, before she picked up on his conversation. "Well then maybe this thaught them that teamwork is essential?" She replied, to which he raised his shoulders. "Let's hope so." He answered, incapable of thinknig too much when the entire fact of the attacked hospital was still on his mind. Both of them felt little incentive to continue bantering, so he apologized and left to see Ezuri before leaving.
He was asleep and in a fine condition, and one of the medical nin had added a small letter from Kiyomi on the desk next to his bed. What had Kiyomi to do with his genin? Leaving the building after a friendly nod to Sachiko, he decided to go home. The Hokage would spend the rest of the day on the incident of the hospital and he could always file in his report tomorrow.

Anyways, posted. I'm going to move things a bit here, and the player of a certain "red-haired lass" now has the chance to "accidentally" meet Robin on his way back to the military barracks outside of town.
