Where in the world are you landing?: Nanjing, China
Autobiography/Biography: Henry was born in the New England area roughly 26 years before he would be dropped into the past. If he had to describe his hometown, rural would be the description he gave. In the middle of the woods with the nearest large town being an hours drive away, it was a somewhat boring existence. His hobbies growing up involved the Boy Scouts and Fencing. While in school he hated math and science, he found that he had an uncanny gift for history and historical writing. Playing football and rugby, as well as skiing, for his school team helped him keep in shape while also engaging in a frankly unhealthy amount of video game and board game playing. Eventually, he left his New England roots to go to college, where he obtained a degree in European history. After college he tried his hand in the job market for a little while saving money to go to graduate school. Though he tried his hand at it for a semester while trying to obtain another bachelor's degree on the side, he suffered a bit of a mental breakdown, and after finishing the semester, he took a job at a ski resort in Colorado.
( Optional on down)
What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?: Probably become the Dragon Emperor or something like that
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Ancient China as a big one, probably a healthy dosing of ancient Hellenistic culture with a chinese flair to it, maybe some elements from fantasy things I/Henry like.
Why did you chose to land where you did?: Landed in China last time I was in this RP and it's the only region that's still somewhat empty.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?: Eventually a stratified and somewhat hedonistic society dedicated to their emperor, but we'll see if it gets there, or if it takes on another feel.
What are your character's motivations?: Survive and make the best of his new situation.
Theme Song?:
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?:

Think about it for a minute. The reason why the native americans got wipped out by European diseases is because they had no immunity. The reason Europeans had immunity was because for thousands of years they lived side by side with animals, pests in their large urban city centers. Think about what a lot of us are doing right now:
Separating animals from people, proper waste disposal, distilling clean water, treating food with salt, hand washing, exterminating pests, etc.
I think we might be stifling their immune systems...

Nah, it'll be good long run. Epidemics will still occur. Just better results for livability and herd immunity.
