Of Gods and Kings: A Medieval Character RP [OOC/OPEN/REBOOT]

[Ravea]

Lol I had to rewrite my post because my apartment lost power. Right as i was about to post it too.

[Das Germane imperie]

Great thanks. I'll get started on my intro right away.
Say, you wouldn't mind if I had Richard hunt down Paul the Holy (likely on a contract from someone within Trinity) would you? I know he's another character, but if you guys want him alive, it could turn into some sort of rivalry.
Anyway, if anyone wants their characters to come into contact with Richard tell me.

Well, as the player of Paul the holy, I believe myself as the person to answer on that question. I play two characters, one is the grand master of a chivalric holy order (trinity) and the other is Paul the holy. If my other character can somehow meet with yours, they can hunt down Paul the holy (Also mind that Paul the holy has more than 100 000 followers). But yes, I guess that, later. And I believe that Paul will play a fairly important role in the early rp at least, but I don't know yet. The OP is our god.

[Chedastan]

I'm tempted to just make another post, like having Warren and his party enter the keep with their captive. I'm assuming that sounds well enough?

[Kosovo12345]

Appected or nah?

It sounds like a solid plan to me. Keep our teamwork possibility in mind then.

What would be an appropriate population for barbarians?

Ghondie said max pop is 200,000, but if you have that much, you should have a very, very good reason as to how your forces are so huge.

[New Jordslag]

Hello, is it too late to join? If I could, I would like to play a tribal confederacy of Atharthan barbarians.

Fite me bruh.

I thought he said that 200,000 was max army size?

There's a sellsword company of over 40,000. I was told it was 5,000 max for a company.

It'll for sure be past 5,000 for max army size though. 200,000 sounds right.

I'm still waiting on my application

Ha ha, no. Armies back then rarely approached anywhere near 200,000. A Barbarian horde, however; that's another story. See, like armies, Hordes are always on the move. Like Armies, Hordes pillage and loot wherever they go. Unlike Armies, Hordes aren't exclusively combatants. See, Barbarians had a habit of bringing along their Women and Children and old people, if they had any. This is factored into the 200,000 person count. Think of Hordes as an always-moving Sparta on steroids.

Yeah 200,000 is absolutely massive in terms on ancient and medieval warfare. The only way an army that size is going to survive without starving is to pillage absolutely everything in their path. Professional armies were much much smaller, but usually much more disciplined.

Image: Cant find a good picture, hold on
House, if any: Nice Joke, None
Personality: Dimitri the a person that keeps to himself most of the time and only opens up to a few trusted comrades including his second in command. When he doesnt get his way, Dimtri gets angry and will threaten the person or even go to violence.

Dimitri was given to a farmer who had 2 boys his age and he grew up with them, getting strong thanks to the many chores on a farm and he never felt mad at his parents as he never really knew them. One day, he heard about Christianity and converted, and joined a band of Christan Knights with both of his friends from the farm (he refers to them as his brothers). Over time and many battles, Dimitri ranked up quickly and became leader of the group.
Equipment: Chain mail with important areas on the body covered with plate armor, Lance, Sword, and a shield. He rides a war horse.

Him, I can't spot any problems, other than the odd fact of a Slavic Man being in England back in a time when International Communication wasn't a thing. But that can be explained. Accepted unless Ghondie says otherwise.

[The Nuclear Fist]

200 thousand.
