For those interested in taking part in 'invasion' plot
Tell me here if your interested in creating a character who takes part.
The storyline
A band of warlike people from an undiscovered eastern continent arrive on the eastern shores of gobaith, on behalf of their God/emperor, seeking new conquest. This doesnt mean they will start a war straight away, but its likely one could take place somewhere down the line. Their emperor has promised heaven for those who gain glory in his name. (think mongols)
The warparty
They are generally stocky, of medium height, with dark, copper skin, eastern facial features, with black hair. It is common for warriors to braid their hair, and let it grow out until they lose a duel, in which they cut a part off. Therefore the longer a warrior's braid the more respect they receive from their contemparies. Their culture is one of survival. Strength, rather than kindness, is respected. They have strict codes of honour inside their society, including the idea that it is deeply disrespectful to ask someone their name. You have to let them give it to you. Borrowing money or other items is also frowned upon.
Men and women are treated the same, since it is strength which is respected rather than difference of sex. They usually wear animal leathers with heavy fur coats during the winter, although richer warriors wear metal armor on occasion, to signify rank. They fight with long-range weapons, using hit and run tactics, using two swords during close-quarters.
The war party which arrives in gobaith should number around 8 with one war chief, one elder (a magic user and tactical advisor) and one camp supplier (who concentrates on setting camp and providing materials for the warrior's needs, ie: food, arrows etc). I will probably play the war chief.
POs (no more needed)
Evan Ross
Mmaguire
Alexrose (elder)
Rhianna Morgan
Kenneth Ladrus
Julius
Juniper Onyx (Crafter)
Ayla
Jeff Corwin
Kamilar
Any suggestions, questions are more than welcome.

Pushed means that GMs give you higher attributes or skills when starting.
E.g, a char that started with 25 strength and 70 slashing is a pushed char
Edit: Ascius was faster

I think it's best to be pushed so we don't have to pg if there's gonna be some sort of war, especially for the war chief, and if the elder's gonna have magic we really don't have time to learn it the legit way so having a pushed char there would work as well.
But if there's 8, we don't want to be OVER pushed or it'll be ridiculous.

I'd think with honesty that for everyone to have the most fun, you should just start from scratch, appear in peace, have some sort of 'particular trait' (tatoos on the face or something), and just go with the flow. It'll be similar to a race, instead of being a quest.
And hope you wont be using Zzyathis, or there'll be a holy war

Do they all have to be human? Why do they have to use an existing camp, if they are thinking of invading wouldn't it be wiser for them to start a camp, and -then- invade? Instead of attacking directly?
Most likely you will want to use an emperor, who is saying Malachin told them to.
I would also like to play, and I would -love- to be involved in the building process.
