Regiments from your nation in service of the Purpailia Crown

________________________________________________________________________________
The Kingdom has recently asked for other nations to serve the Holy Church, all christian nations may be free to come and hail their Knights. All non Christan's must be converted. Again we really hope this can be a great and future partnership between our Kingdoms.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Based on the Imeriata regiment thread.
So I did after a while of thinking and inspired by units such as the san paricios, various Irish volunteer regiment in the American civil war, the Swiss guard in France and the Papal state, the French foreign legion and similar units of immigrants that fought and died as true heroes for their new adopted nations did I decide that I would want some units like that myself. That is when your nation comes into the picture as the absolute royal federation is supposed to be a multinational nation with nationalities from all over the world, this was something that I wished to represent in my army and its single ethnicity regiments. So now do you have the ability to create a regiment or two (I do however draw the line at twenty) to help me color the royal guard with flavors from all corners of our great globe.

It should be noted that some of these regiments will likely turn up in RPs in the future.






Number of regiments:
Number of Knights/Grunts in regiment:
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow):
Do you wish to have a specific uniform:
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of Knights of the 5th to 15th century, later I will allow much later time eras to be used.),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself:
do you have a nobility back home?
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment?
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)?
What is the main religion of your people?
Will you Convert? (if not, your a front line grunt, if your a human, and Christan your a Knight):
Do you promise to uphold the codes of Chivalry?:
Will you fight for country, king and people?:
Do you promise to uphold the word of God?:
is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar)
Coat of Arms:

Number of regiments: 5
Number of Knights/Grunts in regiment: whatever a normal regiment in your nation is
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow): Generally close quarters assault. Machine guns suppress the enemy, while the infantry close in and assault the enemy with grenades, assault rifles, and bayonets. Specialized marksmen help to pick off enemy machine gunners and marksmen.
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: I suppose so.
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: will post image later
do you have a nobility back home? Yes
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? Yes
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)? Anglo-Saxon
What is the main religion of your people? Luthorianism. It is catholic Christian
Will you Convert? (if not, your a front line grunt, if your a human, and Christan your a Knight): We already are Christian
Do you promise to uphold the codes of Chivalry?: Sure I suppose
Will you fight for country, king and people?: Yes
Do you promise to uphold the word of God?: Yes
is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar): The Anglo-Saxon people are very warlike, serving in foreign militaries as regular soldiers, elite soldiers, and mercenaries throughout the world, in particular the Imerian and Nicksyllvanian militaries. The soldiers themselves are brutal and pragmatic, making significant usage of grenades and underhanded tactics.
IC Nation Name: The Glorious Empire of Luthoria

We have men in our nation interested in your proposal but they have issues about your doctrine. We have several religions in our nation including Christianity, Islam and the Jewish faith but we also have three of our on religions The Temple of the Old Ones, The Cult of Cthulhu and The Order of the Ogdru Jahad. Problem is even though all of our religions have different views each coexist peacefully due to their patriotism to our nation. They feel if they do join and you decide that citizens of The Necronomican need to be converted and possibly go to war that they will have to turn against you. They would love to pledge to God and fight for your nation but their loyalty to The Necronomican are sanctimonious and would instantly go to war against you. They would love to join but do not want to turn against you if need be.

Well it says in the OP that non converts are front liners. So I guess it is safe to do so, sending only christens would probably get a cool looking knight.

Well that's no the problem. They are afraid of any possible war against their own nation if they aren't of the Christian fate and this nation wants to convert them because they would turn without a second thought to defend the Empire. They are fiercely loyal and well whats the word I'm looking for?....oh yeah a tad insane but they are willing to commit just that they want to serve this nation but not have to turn against them if they have to.

Number of regiments: 1
Number of Knights/Grunts in regiment: 1,000 (metric regiment, each steup up from squad is x10)
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting: Heavy plate armour, a bias towards larger shields. Excellent defenders and shock infantry
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Yes
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of Knights of the 5th to 15th century, later I will allow much later time eras to be used.),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: predominantly white or dark grays with purple details, large, prominent 'floating' plates around the thighs and pauldrons. Prominent neck guard, no helmet. Ramset are exellent armour and shieldsmiths, and will often customise their armour
do you have a nobility back home? Only as honourifics.
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? There may be
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)? Primarily humans, though populations of elf, anthro, dwarf, and most any other race
What is the main religion of your people? it varies wildly, predominant through military culture are norse and egyptian pantheons.
Will you Convert? (if not, your a front line grunt, if your a human, and Christan your a Knight): Some may, some will already be christian. Regiment will end up entirely christian.
Do you promise to uphold the codes of Chivalry?: Of course
Will you fight for country, king and people?: Yes
Do you promise to uphold the word of God?: Only the parts where it doesdn't say 'burn at the stake all who believe in different gods'
is there something the regiments will be known for? They will outright refuse to fight in any war with a religious justification. Tuetonic Judicial Duelling Shields are also used by them as a primary weapon. They will also be known for flexibility, able to be used wherever a regiment of heavy infantry is required.
Coat of Arms: Shaped like an egyptian cartouche, featuring a jackalope in purple, rearing up and facing to the right, white-and-black dogtooth tesselation background.
