So, Pers, how many players do you think will be needed to start up an IC?

[Pragia]

APP:
NS Name: Pragia
Society Name: Pragian Alliance
Species: Human (70%, 30% Dwarves (more in middle mountains)
Claims: Non-Alps Italy (no Sardina or Sicily)

History: The Pragian Alliance was formed by a binding legal agreement between the Humans of the Northern Lowlands (mainly Milan-Turin area) and the Dwarves of the middle mountains (Rome-southern central parts.) . This alliance was formed after both sides had exhausted most of their resources fighting each other, and much blood was spilled. The alliance has only recently been formed, and the Council has just begun meeting in Aurum among the seven golden hills (Rome, 7 hills by Tiber river). They hope to usher in a new age of cooperation and advancement against the barbaric world around them.
Other: focused on technology, few magic users, very superstitious about other fantasy races
RP Sample: will get, but you know me.
*Maxs= Small Pop. 15%, Large Pop. 7% , Medium 10%

To better explain, the Vikings just start like districts in cities and villages all over Europe. Not that they own it, its just they are parts of the places they live. They typically fight for other peoples armies as mercanaries or Viking Units, so everyone can benifet from the Vikings living in towns.

NS Name:-/
Society Name: Sarelisian Imperium
Species: Minotauri
Claims: Cyprus, Crete, Rhodes, Malta, Balerics, Corsica, Sardinia, Gibraltar, Sicily
Population (the largest populations are about half a million): 432,918
*Military Percentage (this includes all that can be put in action such as militias): 1% in the Sarelisian Legions, 2% in the Free Companies, 2% in the Sarelisian Warfleet.
Government/Culture: Ruled by a council of the Kaiser, his heir, the Grand Legatus, Windmaster and Marshal of the Free Companies.
History: Sarelis is among the oldest nations still surviving, and has due to a mix of national pride and wealth. The Minotauri, originating from Crete where their current capital city and main port resides, quickly discovered their home island had a lack of resources; a lack that had to be rectified. Many Minotauri explorers, former Legionarries and people looking for a new life set out on voyages across what would become the Sarelisian Sea, due to their dominance over it.

Many of these colonies were established and failed for various reasons. Hostile natives, wildlife, disease and just being abandoned all played a part. But those colonies that did survive thrived.

Nearly all the surviving colonies were on islands scattered throughout the sea, and soon enough resources flooded in from the colonies, either mined by the Minotauri themselves or traded with natives. Soon enough, however, pirates began to appear. This spawned the creation of the Sarelisian Warfleet; one of the mightiest in the Sarelisian Sea. In a campaign lasting many decades, through a mix of ruthless punishments, bribes and captures, the Sarelisian Warfleet had all but irradiated the pirate menace from the Sarelisian Sea along the main trade routes.

Now the Imperium stands at its height; but it has far to fall, should it fall.
Other: Think Carthage with Roman organization but not equipment.
RP Sample: You know me (I think)

@Atorea, both of your apps are of extremely low quality, and I'm just going to have to say denied. Also it is filled out incorrectly and just seems poorly done in general. I do not believe that this is the proper RP for you. You still need practice.

@Lunas Legion, I've rped with you a few times. The history is a bit short. Write a little more and ill accept it.

For everyone else:
There are currently five accepted players. Before the IC goes up I would like two see at least eight. Potential co-ops may telegram me. I need one other. Person to accept apps and help run the RP.

@Shark Isle @Atornea
Can you write a little more? Both of the apps are borderline, but I want to know more about them. The culture and/or histories should be extended.

@Atorea it Atornea: (sorry if I misspelled it). Sweden and Norway were reserved. However Denmark is a good location, don't you think?

I edited my app.

[Caecuser]

Have any Minotaur or Beastmen species been accepted yet?

[Lunas Legion]

Have any Minotaur or Beastmen species been accepted yet?

I've got Minotaurs.

[Caecuser]

Have any Minotaur or Beastmen species been accepted yet?

I've got Minotaurs.

Hmm, I will find another species. One that eats Minotaurs for breakfast.

On an unrelated note, how magical can we get? I'm assuming the Conservation of Ninjutsu is at work in that the lower a population we have the more concentrated and powerful our magic is.

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

I've got Minotaurs.

You could always be a Werewolf species that wants to give all of its gold to the Vampires that run the Imperrin!, or, ya' know, just be a werewolf species...

Hmm, how about some Were-Dragons? Or Giants? Or magical-warrior monks?

Daralanish at the most extreme. That would be a very small kingdom with about 5%. In Avalon there are about 1,800 mages, for 100,000 to 125,000 people.

Euuh... well... that's original, I guess. Not quite sure if Were-Dragons could make for a good society, but that sounds pretty epic
