[The Orson Empire]

Name: Johna Cornelius
Age: 40
Birth State: Massachusetts
Description: A tall white man with black hair, but no facial hair.
Allegiance: Union
History: Johna Cornelius was born in 1821 in Boston, Massachusetts. His father was a merchant, while his mother stayed home to raise the children. However, Cornelius knew of his family's military history, as he had ancestors that served in the American Revolutionary War. Inspired to continue his family's legacy, he joined the military, and he graduated from West Point Academy in 1845. When the Mexican-American War broke out, he served willingly and distinguished himself in battle, which eventually got him promoted. After the war ended, Cornelius joined the Abolitionist Movement, which supported the establishment of slavery. Cornelius absolutely disgusted slavery, calling it a "barbaric and cruel institution", and wanted to do everything in his power to see it permanently go away, and he also helped establish resistance towards the Fugitive Slave Act. Once the American Civil War broke out in 1861, he pledged his loyalty to the Union and organized a corps, which was assigned to the Army of the Potomac.

Not my best work since I decided to experiment with writing methods.

Would it possible to be a railroad baron instead of a factory owner?

@Orson, I do believe one must pick negative command skills as well as positive ones

You can just add two positive traits without any negative traits, feel free to remove two negative traits from your Santa Anna application.

When will the IC start?

[Pimps Inc]

We still have many positions that need to be filled.
We need a Lincoln, a CSA president, and at least a few mmore commanders, I'd say.

[Republic of Coldwater]

Keep in mind that one can play two or more characters, as long as they aren't in all three theaters, and don't take up more than one corps in an army. (So basically, you can play as Lincoln, Samuel Colt, and Irwin McDowell at the same time)

[Republic of Coldwater]

Also, Pimps INC is now a Battlemod, and a Co-Op, so he shall be able to accept applications, and can moderate battles in either the central or eastern theaters.

Having so much trouble deciding what to do..

Western Native American Division.. or Eastern Artillerist...

You may do both, unless lack of time IRL prevents ypu, then I would say maybe go for the underdog position and pick Native American. However, its all up to you, though I don't see what you mean by "Eastern Artillerist"

Eastern Theatre with the Gunnery School and Quartermaster

Western Theatre Native Americans would be my first choice obviously, but I could see problems for it should some real force show up from the East.


Would it be possible to do a commander and a civilian?

Yea you can.
If a real force came from the east, just Geronimo them and go guerilla warfare. I'm playing as a small force led by Santa Anna, suicide in most cases, but I'll see what I can do. That's the fun of it.

Name: Tekamthi "Little Osceola"
Age: 32
Birth State: Florida, USA
Description: Tall, dark skinned Creek-Seminole Native American.
Allegiance: CSA
History:

Born October 11, 1828 in the Panhandle of Florida along the Apalachicola River to a Seminole mother and a Creek Father, Tekamthi was raised as a member of the Seminole Tribe. 1829 was a bad year to be an Indian as the Seminole's old foe Andrew Jackson had been elected President of the United States. His father went off to fight in the Second Seminole War against the United States, leading the Village's warriors under the command of Chief Osceola. In 1837, under a flag of Truce, Chief Osceola as well as his companions, Tekamthi's father included, were captured by United States General Thomas Jesup. The resulting deaths of the imprisoned was hard on the young Tekamthi who was only nine at the time of his father's death.

By this time he and his mother had moved into the central part of Florida where there were it was safer for them to be. In May of 1841 fighting had all but stopped except for small skirmishes. A twelve year old Tekamthi decided he had to do something about how his people were dying. He was able to join with a warband led by Chief Tiger Tail. He started working as a messenger and then as a scout in 1842. By his 14th birthday, the fighting had all but stopped. The warband led by Tiger Tail was down to less than twenty warriors and Tiger Tail himself was very ill. That was when soldiers arrived and began moving them west to the Indian Territory. With little choice left, and no idea where his mother was, Tekamthi moved west.

The Indian Territory proved even more hostile than the swamps of his homeland. The Creeks raided the Seminole villages to sell slaves to the Southern Planters in the area. Fortunately for Tekamthi, he was a good leader and a better warrior. Soon his prowess at command had gotten the attention of even the Creeks who would avoid the villages under his protection. After securing an alliance with the Creek by declaring his father's ethnicity and his lineage he was able to calm the situation in the Indian territories down by 1846, which proved almost useless as the Mexican-American war was just about to begin.

The Mexican-American war began to the south of Tekamthi's new land. However, a warchief of the Creeks went with the Americans to fight Mexico. Relegated to home defense duty, Tekamthi was able to stop several Kiowa Apache raids on his people as well as prevent them from going into Texas proper to do damage to the delicate balance he was keeping with the White settlers there. By the end of the war in 1848, Tekamthi had become a prominent figure among many of the Indian Territory tribes known as the Five Civilized Tribes. As tensions rose in the lands around them, Tekamthi was able to steer his tribe as well as the Creeks out of major conflicts with other tribes or the Whites. As the Comanche and Texas fought in a war Tekamthi was forced to fight once again.

This time, he had to go on the offensive. In an attempt to thwart Comanche strength from overrunning the Indian Territories, Tekamthi joined forces with the Texas Rangers, leading several dozen of his finest warriors he would go forth and attack the Comanche who were bordering Indian Territory. Unfortunately, his Seminole warriors weren't the only Indian Allies of the Texans. Another tribe, The Tonkawa, were present. They were reviled by all of the other tribes for being cannibals. And upon victory over the Comanche their vile nature presented itself as they decorated horses with bloody body parts from their fallen foes. Returning home once again in 1858, Tekamthi had very little time to rest before the new set of Crises beset his people.

In June of 1861, the Southern half of the United States declared its independence from the Northern half. During this time there was discussion among the tribes as what they should do. While many wished to remain with the Union or remain neutral, others remembered the cruelty of the United States and wished to see it harmed. They began arming themselves and sent a delegation to the Confederate Capitol to be recognized as a State. While doing this a rival tribe of the Creek had done the opposite and declared themselves for the Union. Led by one of the most influential diplomats of the Creek People, Opothleyahola. In response, Tekamthi sent word to the CSA commander in Texas for support in rooting out the pro-Union chief Opothleyahola. Tekamthi began receiving supplies and arms through Texas, though was not told he could legally raise troops just yet, but to "Prepare for imminent warfare with Unionist Sympathizers."
