St. Ambrose University (MT, OOC and Sign-Up)

[Camelone]

To further relations with the rest of the world Camelone has opened up its most prestigious university for students of foreign countries to attend and learn about Camelonean culture and traditions. On orders of King Frederick I, the Shield of Christendom, Lion of the Mountains, Thane of Dronch, and Ordained by God to Rule, the first semester of St. Ambrose University will be the first host to foreigners. Though the Civil War of Camelone ended merely a couple months ago King Frederick is willing to show the world a recovered and powerful Camelone that is not afraid to enter the world stage. St. Ambrose University is prepared and the staff looking forward to welcoming the foreign exchange students but the students must watch out as in Camelone there is always something at work to tear down the Crown, and Raven, the leader of one of the larger rebel groups during the Civil War, is still at large and planning for any opportunity to take the throne for himself. Beware all who enter as safety is not guaranteed but adventure is.

Okay this will be a character driven RP where regular old college students from around the world come to attend St. Ambrose University as it is the first time Camelone has opened its borders to foreigners since they got the reign of the last High Thane. Camelone is a land that seems to be locked in a quasi-medieval world where feudalism and modern technology coexist beside each other and church and state are by no means separated.

[Ikath]

Name: Asande Soroche
Country: Ikath
Age (18-25): 20
Gender: Male
Appearance (Picture or description): Asande stands at six foot and possesses a somewhat lean build with broad shoulders. The dark skinned youth would be described as rather plain looking, almost unremarkable, being neither handsome nor particularly ugly. He possesses dull brown eyes and wears his wiry black hair neat and short. The young man prefers to keep his face clean shaven as well. He dresses as sharply as he possibly can, preferring grey suits and blue ties. A pair of half moon spectacles are a constant sight upon the bridge of his nose.
Personality: Analytical, polite, studious, tends to go with what seems the most profitable solution to a problem.
Brief Bio (Can be a couple sentences or a paragraph your choice): Asande was born to the founder and CEO of Soroche Technologies, a corporation of middling power and influence in the Ikath Corporate Assembly. From a young age he was given the very best of education and instruction, being groomed to take over the chair from his father when he was old enough. He possessed a very cold relationship with both his mother and father as both were often too busy to spend much time with him growing up. Nonetheless, Asande proved to be adept in the cutthroat world of Ikathian business and finance. He also grew very familiar with using less than legal methods to get crucial info from rival corporations. He also enjoys playing the piano and playing with his cat in his spare time. He identifies as a non-worshipping as far as religion goes but is rather fascinated by it as a field of study.
Liberalism vs. Traditionalism (1, very liberal and 10 very traditionalist): 5
Other: Tends to treat all people courteously but keeps them at an arms length.

[The High Tatras]

Name: Hryhoriy Kompanichenko
Country: The Kozatska Respublika of The High Tatras
Age (18-25): 18
Gender: Male
Appearance (Picture or description): He is tall, with a slim and slender physique. He is ghastly pale and has long flowing light brown/ dirty blonde hair, which he keeps in a ponytail held by a black silk ribbon during strenuous activities. He is usually bespectacled
Personality: Hryhoriy is very intelligent, hardworking, and studious, but he is also shy and bashful. He loves technology, especially aviation, and his heroes are Hugo Eckener and Howard Hughes. He has dreamed for many years of becoming a zeppelin airship commander in the Tatran People’s Air Forces, but he was too weak to pass the physical examination to enter a military academy. This has broken his heart and he has since fallen into a deep depression.
Brief Bio (Can be a couple sentences or a paragraph your choice): Hryhoriy Kompanichenko lives with his extended family in a small apartment within a “mikrorayon” in the industrial suburbs of the capital city. His father is a tool and die maker and his mother runs a small automobile and motorcycle repair shop with his older sister. His little brother and little sister raise chickens and goats in the yard to sell.
Liberalism vs. Traditionalism (1, very liberal and 10 very traditionalist): 6 (according to the standards of his own culture)
Other: He comes from a country that has remained largely technologically stagnant since the 1940s, due to relative geographic isolation and a lack of outside investment. He follows a form of (radical) Protestant Christianity that practices adult baptism, does not allow statues or images in churches, forgoes swearing oaths, holds "lovefeasts" and unprogrammed "meetings for worship", and has historically had some proto-socialist tendencies.

Accepted. I'll get the IC thread up tomorrow.

[Camelone]

We are ready to go.

[Camelone]

Bump, so people still see this thing.

[Camelone]

Bump. Can some more people please join?

[Camelone]

I was actually going to have Frederick reveal that he was the king in response to what was said by Hryhoriy.

[The High Tatras]

I was actually going to have Frederick reveal that he was the king in response to what was said by Hryhoriy.

Then I can un-retcon it for you if you wish.

[Camelone]

That seems acceptable and I think its a good opening for him because of the culture shock.

[The High Tatras]

In case you are wondering, the religion followed by most people in my IC nation is inspired by the Taborites in 15th century Bohemia and by the Radical Reformation in 16th century Germany, although it is sometimes portrayed as using the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar.

[The High Tatras]

Motokata, I am going to wait for Camelone to respond before our characters start a (most likely awkward) conversation.

[Camelone]

Bump.

[An Calagon]

Name: Andrast Vaire
Country: An Calagon
Age (18-25): 20
Gender: Male
Appearance (Picture or description): Andrast stands at six foot two inches, and has an evident athletic build about him with a tan from a lot of time in the sun. His features are strong and classic, but tends to look a little rough around the edges. His eyes are a vibrant grey that tend to take in everything around him, and has short brown hair that is always kept neat and tidy. He tends to be wearing either semi-formal clothing or athletic wear depending on what he's doing.
Personality: He is a very polite young man to everyone around him, especially those in authority. On the other hand, he does tend to keep people at a distance instinctively. He's very clearly a perfectionist, pushing himself to do his best in anything he gets involved in whether they be athletic or academic. As a result of his environment he also tends to be more than a little unsympathetic, though never in a way that is purposely rude. He tendso evaluate and act through logical thinking and analysis. All together though, he is rather socially awkward even for an An Calagonian and hasn't had too much experience just talking, or hanging out with others his own age.
Brief Bio (Can be a couple sentences or a paragraph your choice): Part of both special training from the military, and on the rigorous advanced track of the schooling system in An Calagon, Andrast has always been pushed to succeed. Not wanting to have wasted such an opportunity held against him by both his parents and the government he always pushed to meet these standards. However, this caused him to grow up a little isolated from his peers. When the school opened up to foreign students he was chosen to go as one of their rare diplomatic actions, thanks to his previous record.
Liberalism vs. Traditionalism (1, very liberal and 10 very traditionalist): 8
Other: Technologically speaking the nation is well versed but the public is highly restricted and monitored so while he knows the science there are many things like cars he's just not use to. He has been part of the military since he was a child, though he's never actually been in a battle. This is his first time out of his country as they maintain strict border control, and don't really like for citizen's to leave usually.
