Sounds good

Also I'm on break so I will have plenty of free time!

[Elerian]

I think i'll join up.

[Elerian]

If I wanted to be leader or a mercenary company would I use an independent realm app? If not what would I do to apply for that?

Yes, I believe you would. You can probably delete the categories not applicable to you.

[Imperialisium]

Yes, the independent realm app, you need to fill out the sections pertaining to name, formation, leader, size and history. Feel free to include any laws specific to the group or it's hierarchy.

Alright thanks. Now another question; what's in the great desert? Like who inhabits it/controls it?

No players in that area I believe. So it's all NPC minus Ar-Ashalesh which got conquered by Damak Var who is the Paletine Republic

Nationstates Nation: Elerian

Character Name: Theomar “Theo” Uldryden

Character Race: Human

Character Age: 23

Character Dynasty/House/Clan (if applicable): Uldryden

Character Dynastic History (History of your family): The Uldrydens were once a prominent patrician family within the Paletine. Several of Theomar’s ancestors even attained the office of consul. However, Theomar’s grandfather lost everything at the hands of a rival family. They took what they had left and headed east, and only when the head of the family had died did they stop. Theomar’s father, Eldrid, found himself near penniless save for a few priceless family heirlooms, in a foreign land.

Character Physical Description or Image (as in Picture):

Character Biography: Eldrid found himself in a large tribal village named Verusea. Soon after he arrived and learned the local language Eldrid married a young tribewoman from a prominent local family. It wasn’t long before a child was born, and that child being Theomar. It quickly became apparent that Theomar possessed some form of magical ability. Once he was of age and had learned what he could from his father and mother, Theomar was handed over to one of the local shamans to begin exploring his magical talents. For several years he was tutored by the head shaman in the ways of magic. In those few years he was able to surpass his tutor and because of this, was sent on his pilgrimage a year earlier than expected.

Pilgrimage, for the Veruseans, is a rite of passage of sorts for the young tribespeople. They leave the tribe at age 18 to find their way in the world. And should they so choose, return to the tribe. Most of the tribespeople return within a year or two, some however, never come back. Theomar was one of those who never returned. However, before he left the tribe, Theomar was confronted by his father and given the few precious family items that remained. One being a fiery bastard sword named Infamy, the second item being an amulet imbued with magic, though its purpose was unknown even to Eldrid. And lastly a small golden ring inlaid with a single ruby the size and shape of a teardrop, it was worn into battle by the first Uldryden, and every Uldryden since. And with a last hug and goodbye, Theomar was off to make his mark on the world.

Theomar set out with several of the other pilgrims and wandered their way for weeks on end to the west. Eventually Theomar and his companions found themselves in Jaffsaha. Reluctantly Theomar parted ways with everyone save three of his closest friends, Kovarroh , Verro, and Amani. It didn’t take long for the young men to be penniless. So, at the behest of Theomar, the boys joined a small and, for the most part, obscure mercenary company. The company, named The Strangers, soon marched out of Jaffsaha to partake in a skirmish with another city state. Several weeks after leaving the relative safety of Jaffsaha, Verro was killed in an ambush. Theomar and the others took his death hard, but they trudged on. Several days after Verro’s death the remaining three boys took part in a bloody battle near a creek. On that day Theomar and his friends were no longer boys. The Strangers won in the end, yet the battle was bloody and they lost many men. It wasn’t long after that when Amani died of dysentery, and then there were only two.

Theomar and Kovarroh rose through the ranks and after a year were both made Sergeants in company. Once they returned to Jaffsaha Kovarroh returned to the tribe a man. Theomar, however, hadn’t had his fill of war.

After another year or so of war between the city states, The Strangers took a contract that brought the band to the ruins of Kallia, and thus near Volcana. Inside the ruins, as they cleared it of monstrosities, Theo found an egg unlike any he’d seen before. It was a dull cream color with a smattering of red speck. He took the egg and seeing The Strangers were losing the fight, left with several of the men left in his squad. From there Theo made a mercenary company of his own, financed with the small fortune they made off with when they left the Strangers behind. Theo became the leader of the new White Company whose morals, unlike The Strangers, were pure. After they had proven themselves on the field of battle and shown that they were, in fact, unlike almost all other mercenary companies, The White Company was highly sought after. Once their numbers had swelled with new recruits Theo took his men and took over the independent Hashar Fortress and made it their base of operations.

During his time as promachos of the company, Theo has greatly expanded his understanding and skills with magic. Along with that he's actively sought out mages and other magically inclined or created beings to join forces with to give him an edge against his foes. Along with understanding magic, Theo has discovered that the egg he found several years prior is a dragon egg. Since then he's done his best to try and hatch it, though, so far he's been unsuccessful. And while he has learned a great many things, he still has no clue what the amulet his father gave him does, or whether it even does anything at all.

Equipment/Important personal items (if applicable): Infamy (Bastard Sword), Amulet of fire, Gold Ring, Suit of Armor

Next question; what's your role in all of this? Cause I'm not entirely sure where to go from here and I dunno if you're running the various plot points or whatnot.

Aside from my own characters I typically also run NPCs when asked or required. Usually in the extent of major events like I am role playing Dur-Karz (as its NPC right now) opposite Krugmar's Durognarin.

I basically not only run my own plot points but help people move along wherever needed.

I also can help establish a plot line for people if they are stuck or write an event if they have writers block.

Well you lead a mercenary group, that lends some immediate ideas I'll shoot off

-Seek service, possibly in one of the desert cities feeling threatened by the Paletine Republic?

- War with a neighboring city-state

-Maybe something attached to the Dragon Egg? Maybe others have found out you have it and thus want to possess it?

-I was planning on a powerful dragon and servant of Avalar to awaken in Volcania or Helgraad (having been slumbering for a few centuries since last being sighted) and get involved with other players.

Any of those sound good. I was planning on having the Egg finally hatch in my first post so that third option might be best.

[Imperialisium]

I'm brainstorming a post, seeing who'd want that egg

me, and i thought you said that dragons were too OP

To be a dragon is to OP. Also I only let Elerian have one egg (so a baby dragon) due to the fact it'll be a pain in the ass. Imagine trying to tame something that is as smart as a human, but with superior senses, can wrend most armor like it's cardboard, and breath fire.

That and they are not invulnerable, a single ballista or enough arrows to the right area can pretty much insta kill.

Also it's low fantasy, supernatural creatures are a rarity and not cute and cuddly. Nothing is stopping Damak or anyone else from marching an army to try and claim that dragon. Which is the plot line we got going for it. Other people will want it, and try to take it.

Probably a couple posts journey time. It's pace of plot so there is not set journey times. But you can't travel the distance in one or two posts due to the rules. So people don't teleport all over the place xD

[Elerian]

Eh no one knows that Theo has the egg except theo and a few close friends. In addition I'd rather not get rofl stomped by Damak just after starting plox.
