~Intro~

Long has the glorious Empire of Saerus stood, a shining beacon of civilization in an otherwise barbaric land. Its capital is the envy of the known world, its army rightfully feared for having conquered the entirety of said known world. Once, the Saeren stood as a paragon of justice, peace, and equality. But centuries of absolute power has corrupted the ruling class, and now the nobility is concerned only with retaining their power amidst jealous rivals.

It is in this atmosphere of treachery that a glimmer of opportunity shines through. Rumors of a passage opening up in the previously impassable western mountains have reached the capital. To those with power, it matters not. But to those without power, it represents an opportunity to seize power and change the status quo for better or worse.

And so it falls to the petty nobles, bounty hunters, disgraced commanders, mercenaries, or the rare adventurer to see if there IS a way through the western mountains.

~Things to keep in mind~
1)This takes place in the medieval ages and THERE will be fantasy elements as you progress in the roleplay (medieval fantasy I know original genre) however as of right now no one has any idea of said fantasy elements.
2)It is my preference that you are a commander of men, as a petty noble, a mercenary captain, a bandit chief, etc etc etc.
3)The Empire of Saerus has many roman themes in it, mostly pertaining to architecture and its army make up. However for the most part you nobles and such are equipped with conventional medieval stuff and belong to a feudal system.
4)You may make your own encounters but I will decide the sweet sweet loot you get.
5)While you are technically all on the same team, this far from the capital, no one cares if a noble happens to get backstabbed by a more ambitious fellow. Basically anything goes.
6)This is a free roam to a point, y'all can roam as much as you want so long as its where I say you roam, ex:go to the west you b@stards.


~Rules~
All the normal crap, no god modding blah blah blah, no meta-gaming, blah blah blah, roblox rules apply. You should know the drill.
Put some thought into your posts.
What I say goes.
I might get lazy with the whole shebang and if that's the case I'll appoint some sucker to take over and then I'll reveal the whoooollleee plot to said sucker so they can carry on this plot.
lmao who am I kidding this isn't going to go past five pages, I bet my sweet sweet nut sack on it.

Name: Rex Saedimus
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Appearance: Rex has dark brown hair which is quite long (to his shoulders) and also a stubble across his lower face. His dark blue eyes play host to a scar along his right side of the face which he received from a previous battle. His teeth are quite rotten and he is very muscly.

Personality: Rex is an aggressive strategic mastermind who loves to fight and slay the enemy. He never allows the enemy time to retreat and prefers to utilise the strength of archers to his advantage to slay the retreating foe before they make it home. He is also a lover of diplomacy and of the Empire (which he hopes will last for ever). He loves over-achieving and plans to have himself written into the history books for great military leaders for the Empire.

Occupation/Title: Legate of the 43rd Legion (Lieutenant in the Army).
Men under your command: 15 Archers and 17 Spearmen/Swordsmen (32 men).

Biography: Rex grew through the ranks of the Imperial Military fairly quickly for the state of his rank within society. He was the son of an ordinary militiaman and of a public servant female (practically a maid). He served in many major battles which saw the Empire struggle to survive due to the overwhelming numbers of the enemy. He saw himself leading 100 men into a valley when, suddenly, he was met by a barrage of arrows and only 32 of his finest men (not including him) and himself survived to face the onslaught and, perhaps, escape to freedom and safety.

~Character Sheet~
Name: Geomiunus Kallausis
Age: 35
Gender: Male

Appearance: Unkempt Curly straw hair and a full beard. Light brown eyes on pale skin, with a scar(?) across the bridge of his nose. Slim but with weathered, he is in good health almost always.

Personality: Extremely trusting and kind, with a strong moral heart. But betrayal and years on the run also left him with little reserves. If ever crossed, Geomiunus will ensure it is the last mistake ever made. But otherwise, he loves nature and is quite a poet, along with a gifted scholar.

Occupation/Title: Learned Scholar, Heretic Preacher, Wanted Man

Men under your command: A band of 9 men and 5 women, the remaining disciples after he fled.

Biography: Born to a small, but secure noble family, Geomiunus was allowed to indulge in his love of books and nature. His love of knowledge allowed him to become a scholar himself, and a great one at that. But a turn toward heresy deprived him of his family's support, and a betrayal by a noble client led to Geomiunus on the run for murder and treason. With the last of his followers, he seeks to cross the mountains and finally escape justice.

(@Kit, while it's preferred you have men you can go without them. However you'll probably be at a significant disadvantage. The most advanced ranged handheld weapon thus far would be a crossbow, for siege purposes, there are ballistas trebuchets and catapults.)

(@sims, the main defining characteristics of this rp will be that you are exploring west of the known world, and that you are commanding fifty or less men. If you can stick to that then go for it.)

~Character Sheet~


Name: Ser Alaric von Hoenzollern

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Appearance: As a northerner from the Germanum Province, Alaric is rather short-ish and broadly built. He bears powerful arms, shoulders, and legs, with a proud abdomen to match it. His hair is a pale blond, and his skin is rather pale itself. His eyes are a shiny blue, one that matches the ice of the winters in his homeland. His face is gaunt and angled, but full at the same time from years of soldiery and plunder. Normally, he wears chainmail armor beneath a yellow surcoat bearing the twin eagles of Germanum, with an axe, longsword and shield on his person as weapons. His boots are black, his head usually adorned by the conical helmet of Northern soldiers.

Personality: Hoenzollern is a descendant of an ancient line dating back to the Kings of Germania, nearly extinguished by this time, and is an extinguished knight in his lands (now "Germanum")- and his personality shows this. He is proud and sometimes arrogant, though also inspiring and brave, and compassionate towards his men. He displays brutal ruthlessness towards enemy soldiers, being converse to his emotional display towards his own people.

Occupation/Title: Lieutenant- Alaric is a minor commander under a Barone in the Germanian nobility.

Men under your command: 40- 12 horse, 18 footmen, 10 archers.

Biography: The Hoenzollerns are a very proud line, and a broad one as well. Alaric is one of many supposed heirs, heiresses and Prince Potentials. He has the blessing of being a second cousin of the Governor of the province. Some blessing that turned out to be. He spent his early life fighting in the Germanian Rebellion, achieving moderate feats and making a name for himself in the army by showing some above average tactical traits. But when the Imperials began to explore the West, the Germanians followed through- three hundred men were diverted from the war effort to explore the Western lands, and a fortress was constructed on the coast of the newly discovered continent to house the troops. And, of course, Alaric was deployed as the first wave of troops due to his birth and forced to be the vanguard of the small Germanian expeditionary force.

(Some things to clarify which I should've previously. The Empire of Saerus has conquered the entire KNOWN world which is both landlocked and hemmed in by mountains. Recently the a passage through the western mountains has been discovered. As of yet there is no official Imperial Army response.)

(@sims based on the above information you might want to change a bit. Additionally don't expect to have command or much mention of those three hundred fellows that also came with you. At best they'll serve as a logistics base for you to fall back to.)

((I'm going to edit the Germanian situation to this-


The "King" of the Germanians agreed to lay down his arms and go back over the the Empire, in exchange for the gift of status as a near-independent Duke. He pays tax and homage annually to the Emperor. He sent the three hundred to claim land in the name of the Duchy.

Alaric is still only in possession of his forty, but the others are present in a forward operation base- outside his command entirely.))

Name: Aaron Arimius
Age:27
Gender:Male
Appearance: Aaron is a rather short pale faced man with a well groomed black beard and a bald head. He has a face rather reminiscent of a rat what with the nose and the beady dark brown eyes. In public he tends to wear fine silken suits. Though whenever appearance doesn't take the priority he is in quilted cloth armor on his trustworthy brown stallion.
Personality: Aaron is rather ambitious, and to that end he is ruthless if he perceives that screwing someone over will most definitely benefit him. However unless he is confident that he has all the facts and that the reward of said screwing will outweigh the potential consequences. He is far more likely to give you a smile, a gold coin, and send you on your way as in the long run this is far more beneficial.
Occupation/Title: Emigre Nobleman of House Arimius.
Men under your command: Aaron has 48 men split into four squadrons of twelve men each. Each squad has a captain who generally has more experience and better equipment than his fellows. Additionally there is one non-combatant logistics man who is in charge of schlepping gear and all providing the essentials for his squad. So actual squad sizes are ten men and a captain.
One squad consists of men with swords, wooden bucklers, and a combination of padded cloth armor and chainmail.
One squad consists of men with halberds and padded cloth armor.
two squads consist of unarmored men with bows and an assortment of cudgels,daggers, and whatever they can scrounge for a mobile melee weapon.
Biography: Aaron belongs to the house of Arimius, once it was at the center of Saeren politics and intrigue. But it has been on a slow decline as others have picked it apart crumb by crumb. Aaron could only watch in horror as his proud family name slowly withered away. The most recent attempt to pick away the Arimius title was an assassination attempt on the last remaining heir, Aaron himself. Faced with this, Aaron gathered the last of his loyal men, the remains of what was once an army, and fleed to the Western Mountains where rumors of a passage were abound vowing to return the House of Arimius to its former glory.
Other:



~INTRO TO LE ROLEPLAY: Vaikmont~

Vaikmont, the last remaining bastion of imperial authority, and thus civilization, until the mountains themselves. Well bastion would be an exaggeration, a crummy wooden palisade and perhaps thirty guardsmen are all that protect this forlorn village of a thousand souls. For all this though, Vaikmont still has the wherewithal to supply large groups of passing soldiers, a tavern rife with news,gossip, and mercenaries available for hire. An aging mayor whose primary concern is paying out the various taxes and bribes to his liege has no objection to the various parties that come here for whatever reason.

It is at this town that Aaron and his entourage have stopped. They are tired and in need of rest, and so pitch tents outside the palisade while the first captain and a handful of men go in to purchase supplies and seek out the exact location of this rumored 'western passage.'

Geomiunus Kallausis-

The weary scholar, with his last remaining disciples from his original flock, is in the market, preaching to all who listen about the Lord Heavenly. But to be fair, not one would listen to a partially starved and unkempt man with equally unkempt followers. Though that doesn't mean he won't try.

"I just ask, messenger of our dearest Lord Heavenly, for you to listen to my words... I seek to enlighten all to the glorious word of which Our Lord holds true to us! With Touch of truthness, corruption will be smited! With Vision of might, those guilty will confuss their sins! I ask for aid in our belief, for through the Western Passage we will go to establish new lands, of which all are equal to each other, as the Lord Heavenly so asked of us." Geomiunus preaches, in the center of the market square.

*Kallausism: A faith created by Geomiunus Kallausis and centered around a being called 'Lord Heavenly', it is a peaceful and welcoming religion based on virtue and the belief that there is no wrong, only those misguided in the world. It seeks to do away with the order of nobility and restore the land to rule by the peasants.*

~Alaric~

Horns sounded across the marches as a battalion of men in yellowy surcoats with large black two-headed eagles on their breasts proceeded down the dirt road towards the Imperial bastion. The group was a loosely organized company of three hundred men. At the head, Alaric sat proud as the representative of the procession, though he held no power over anyone outside his captaincy.

The Duke's Men, as they would be called by Imperial troops, were well-armored and well-trained after years of active military service. These Imperials were the men they'd spent years fighting, and their stony glares showed that this experience was not lost on them as they entered an Imperial estate on friendly terms. The Arimius camp was the last they had to move past on their way to their designated campground. Ser Alaric, the Duke's cousin, would be easily recognizable by the Imperial soldiers, being a veteran of several battles and innumerable skirmishes with the southerners.

The appearance of these Northerners, pale and lightly colored from their hair to their icy blue eyes, would seem strange and alien to these southron swords. Only Alaric himself appeared amicable in mood, and he gave a respectable nod to the young Arimius Lord as the Germanians moved slowly past.

Rex Saedimus;

Rex looks to the remnants of the 43rd Legion and sighs. His dream of being an unstoppable force had met it's first hurdle and look as if there was no turning back. A young conscript, a bowman, approached the Lieutenant's horse and grunted; "We're lost, Sire!"

Rex shook his head and pointed forward, towards the sun, and smiled. "The sun shall lead the way by day, and by night we shall rest as the troublesome evils which reside past this border, our Empire's border, shall not cease to torment us!" Rex grunts.

~Darren Bartley: First Captain to the House of Arimius~
Darren noted with amusement the half crazed fanatic preaching his gospel as he set about purchasing the supplies needed to keep their merry little band of fifty or so men up to strength. His imposing figure and expensive plate armor as well as the sword he kept conspicuously at his side certainly helped strike a fast deal though he figured that the locals were hoodwinking him by a few silver pieces. He shook his head, alas it couldn't be helped. Next stop was the tavern, to see if there was anyway to refill the dwindling coin purse that was the House of Arimius's financial situation.

~Aaron~
Aaron watched as the Germanian barbarians marched past, his curiosity mounting as the column went on and on and the headcount of soldiers swelled to five or six times his own contingent. These men would be worth knowing. Gathering a handful of his most presentable men Aaron hustled out to one of the captains, the one who had seemed rather amicable despite the frosty gazes from his compatriots.

"Ahoy there! Northerners!" He called as he struggled to close the distance, his height making the spectacle slightly comical.
