New Civilizations ( OOC, Always Open, Reboot )

[Plzen]

Whats a century of two in the scale of 5,000 years?

Last time around I made the Kingdom of Norsca it was pretty successful.

Quite a lot, at 5 years per IC page.

Clara with her Victorian-era history obsession will probably insist on "correct" place names for regions and towns (she will absolutely balk at "Norsca")... and of course that nice place to plonk down a city at the end of a fjord in Østlandet is called Christiania, no matter what any modern person says.

I only went with that because I was playing Total war Warhammer and it sounded cool.

yeah, I really hope the Timescale changes I don't like that at all.

Question- If one is an author in this, does one have to have a civilization develop around you? Could you take up the role of perhaps a researcher into better food and enviromental research, thus creating prosperity for a couple villages without creating an empire or kingdom? The idea of playing a physically weak and ineffective leader in this is interesting to me.

You can do that. I was planning on being the Marco Polo of the New World before becoming the leader of a nation.

Autobiography/Biography ( paragraph minimum ):Corbie was born to an upper-class family in Austin, Texas, as a twin in a family of three children. His brother died at the age of 7 due to a surgery on his jaw, and his sister committed suicide when he was at the age of 13. Neither of these events particularly effected Corbie outwardly, but the effects on his psyche would become evident as the years go on, leading to a depression that, following years of excellent grades, caused him to flunk out of college. This caused a rift with his parents, leading him to get a small job cleaning for an aquarium in Seattle, having gone to Washington for college. Eventually, after a couple of years, he was promoted to dealing with the fish tanks, keeping them clean and such. With this job tenuously held, he would be sent back in time, after falling asleep gazing at his favorite tank in the dark hours of the night.

What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?:To focus on their efforts to survive, their eventual acceptance of a lower position in a small kingdom in Rome, and eventual revolutionizing of the aquaculture industry in Italy, allowing their civilization to flourish.

Why did you chose to land where you did?:
What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?:Very similar to the Vietnam in this world, or whatever culture is established by the Author most close to their area (That would expand and subsume their modest village)
What are your character's motivations?:Survival, eventually learning to flourish in the past on a personal level.
Theme Song?:Austin, Atlantis, by Clark Powell.
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?:A perhaps variable timescale, with different pages counting for different amounts- perhaps a timeskip whenever people need it and a slow paced day-by-day year-by-year pacing when people think it well.

I'm changing where i'm appearing due to the number of people in europe and the idea of a more isolated nation being able to survive whole longer.

Edit- all being said, i would be fine appearing in a different area of the world, as europe seems to be crowded at this point. Anywhere upon water would work.

Edit Edit- I'm going to be editing my app to be starting in Thailand as there seem to be too many people in Europe, and i wouldn't want to displace someone.

Accepted.

And I like the originality.

Could you expand upon your character? In specific:

Could you be more specific in your skill set? Good negotiator? Risk? Good understanding of war? Also, could you expand on the biography? And, be honest with yourself, are you an masterful strategist? Or even a relatively good one? What would prompt this character to believe so - especially when compared to the three other Authors who were military personnel?

Author Application

Name: Clara Axinite Rose
Age: Clara is 20 years old.
Height and Weight: Clara is 1.72 metres in height and 72kg in weight.
Skin, hair, and eye description: Clara's skin is a moderate brown, which stands out from her otherwise European features. She is a fairly typical brunette, and her eyes are a distinctly reddish-orange shade of brown.

Prior Profession: Clara is, or was as of being carried away on the winds of time, a student at university.
Level of education: Clara has an international baccalaureate degree, and is two terms into tertiary education in civil engineering.
Physique description: Clara is of mediocre but not poor fitness, kept somewhat viable by her youth and some light exercise despite her otherwise highly sedentary lifestyle.
Useful skills: Asides from her education, Clara is an amateur historian (with a particular interest on the long 19th Century and the modern era) and human geographer, and has some basic knowledge relating to both. In terms of physical skills, however, Clara is largely lacking.

National Origin: Clara is Canadian by birth and legal nationality, but was raised mostly in South Korea and Thailand.
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Reading some light fiction novels online.
Description of personality: Pleasant, polite, and quiet; not a great risk-taker/daredevil or socialite. Not easily emotional, and strongly non-impulsive.
Where in the world are you landing?: Sjælland, near what is IRL today Roskilde, Denmark

Autobiography/Biography: Clara was born 28th January 1999 to Julian and Sophia Rose, upper middle class parents in Toronto, Canada, where she enjoyed a relatively unremarkable childhood, albeit with a relatively absent father due to his many business responsibilities abroad. She moved to Bangkok, Thailand in 2007 alongside her family when her father decided to take his family on another one of his long-term assignments abroad instead of leaving them behind in Canada. There, she continued her education in an English-speaking school largely for foreigners. Teachers' reports from that time paint a picture of Clara as an exceptional and intelligent student, but one which had considerable difficulties getting along with her peers. As his father moved again, so did she in 2014 to South Korea, where she completed her secondary education in an international school and graduated in the Class of 2017. She was more engaged in extracurricular activities in South Korea than she was in Thailand, participating in clubs engaging in such widely-varied activities as debate, civic advocacy, volunteer work, and electronic entertainment, and made a few genuine close friendships which would last well after graduation. After another half a year of work as an intern in an international human rights organisation, she returned to Canada to pursue a degree in civil engineering, where she practically retreated into her dormitory room, and from there was picked up by a mysterious event back into the past.

What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Dual inspiration; on one hand, Iron Age Finland and Karelia, one the other hand, modern/postmodern Scandinavian states.
Why did you chose to land where you did?: Relative ease of access to southern Scandinavia, an area which has a great amount of coastal access compared to land area and which interests me personally. Roskilde's historical significance as a former capital. Sjælland's status as an island, and therefore some degree of geographic isolation.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?: Honour, solidarity, community.
What are your character's motivations?: Clara wishes to return to the industrial comforts and conveniences to which she is accustomed, but still preserve the simple beauty of primitive culture and lifestyle.
Theme Song?: This lovely rendition of the Kalevala melody.
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?: Some mechanical guidelines; this scenario is so far-fetched that there will inevitably be arguments about what is or is not possible unless there are solid mechanics.

I almost forgot this app.

I love your characterization! Accepted!
