Of course, you can play them. It's just that playing as Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu kind of hamstrings you since you have to play them as they are popularly remembered, that of a sadistic tyrant and a invincible, fight-happy warrior respectively. It applies to everyone, to be fair, but more so for this particular faction, since it'll be pretty OOC for them to make pragmatic choices where it matters most. :3

Well duh. I like a challenge, so trying to keep those two on path to not dying while also having them be themselves will be... fun. Everyone hates one of them and the other suffers from a severe case of chronic backstabbing disorder and bloodlust.

I look forward to it.

Physical Description (Optional)
Height: 172 cm
Weight: 60 kg
Likes: Alcohol, the rise of commoners.
Dislikes: Aristocrats, merchants, oppression of the commoners.
Personality: Calm, composed, but not outright selfish in his actions. He is more of a selfless person, though not hindered by his drive to make lives better for the people, ethical or not.

History (Compulsory)
Bios:

Zhang Bao was the middle out of his siblings, which included Zhang Liang, the youngest brother, and Zhang Jiao, the eldest. The three of them were born into poverty, as both of their parents were commoners. All three of them were born in Ningjin County, in Hebei. While Zhang Liang proved to be a confident, if reckless and violent-style man, and Zhang Jiao grew into a remarkable man with such intelligence, Zhang Bao is more or less the balanced one, calmly balancing his emotions as well possessed certain knowledges, though not to the deep level of knowledges like his brother Zhang Jiao. The three of them worked by selling medicines to help people, as their parents died when they were in teenagers-age.

When Zhang Jiao returned from the mountain with the book of knowledge about certain arts, he learned it relentlessly, soon collecting followers who were taught of the same way. The two brothers eventually learned the book, or attempted to, since Zhang Liang abandoned it in the early parts, while Zhang Bao was patient enough to learned till the middle parts. Thus, the three of them have varying degrees of certain arts, which in the later days would be referred to as "chemical warfare."

The followers grew larger, and soon Jiao named the movement as Yellow Turbans, with the unique yellow-colored turbans as a unique mark of the movement. Yellow Turbans is a movement determined to abolishes the Han Dynasty and established the people-based nation, where commoners are the leaders of the nation, and not the aristocrats nor the merchants. Bao was appointed as General of the Earth, in the process.

Additional Information (Optional): Magic in ROTK, in here would be labeled/referred as "chemical warfare"

Character Information (Compulsory)
Name (as known in the novel): Dong Zhuo
Real Name (if any): See above.
Sex: Male.
Age: 54
Affiliation (put 'neutral' if undecided): Himself.
Weapon(s): Mauser C96, dagger.
Appearance: Here.

Physical Description (Optional)
Height: 163cm/5' 4"
Weight: 80kg/176lbs
Likes: Power, inflicting pain on others, alcohol, women, indulging himself, oppressing people, witnessing suffering.
Dislikes: Commoners, bad news, peasants, merchants, basically everyone.
Personality: If one looked up 'tyrant' in the dictionary, one would find Dong Zhuo's picture. A cunning, ruthless and often rude sadist, prone to creating carefully calculated strategic plans that he almost immediately sabotages through impulse and instinct after his easily agitated temper is roused. Has no ability to comprehend others, thinking only of himself and his own goals, others are but tools to be used and discarded.

History (Compulsory)
Bios: Born into a military family in Lintao, there was only ever one path for Dong Zhuo; the military. Doubly so, owing to his skill in shooting from horseback and his own physical strength. But destiny, or so he claims, had greater plans for him. While serving in the Han Army, Dong Zhuo found a bloodstained dagger in the aftermath of a skirmish with the inscription 'slash the kings like logging' faintly visible. Dong Zhuo has kept this knife with him ever since, claiming it to be a good luck charm.

He became a soldier of the Capital Corps of the Han, being transfered there from his previous unit. He served under Zhang Huan in his northern campaign to suppress rebels, and was rewarded magnificently, being given 9,000 rolls of fine silk and a following slew of promotions, county magistrate in Yanmen Commandery, a divisional commandant in Shu Commandery, a Wu and Ji Colonel in the Western Regions, Inspector of Bing Province, and finally Administrator of Hedong Commandery.

His rise, seemingly unstoppable, was briefly halted by a defeat by the Yellow Turbans, but Dong Zhuo knew this setback would not last long for him. Destiny had greater things for him. After a few more minor defeats, Dong Zhuo realised the Han Dynasty's power was waning, and made preparations accordingly. His chance came when his superior ordered him into the capital to depose the eunuchs surrounding the emperor. The coup succeeded, but the situation in the capital was... Tenuous, at best.

So Dong Zhuo deposed the Emperor in favour of his own candidate, murdered the former Emperor and the Empress Dowager, declared himself Chancellor and bullied the Imperial Court into submission through brute force. Upon hearing rumours of an approaching army, Dong Zhuo ordered his troops to raze the Imperial Capital, Luoyang, seize anything of value, pillage the Imperial Tombs and then burn it all and salt the earth for good measure. He fled westwards to Chang'an with his puppet Emperor, and there he remains.

Character Information (Compulsory)
Name (as known in the novel): Lu Bu
Real Name (if any): See above.
Sex: Male.
Age: 44
Affiliation (put 'neutral' if undecided): Dong Zhou (in reality, himself)
Weapon(s): MG 34, Miao dao, M1911
Appearance (picture link is preferred): Here.

Physical Description (Optional)
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 88kg/195 lbs
Likes: Fighting, women, indulging himself, alcohol, being his own person and allowed to do whatever he wants, whenever
Dislikes: Thinking, tactics, strategy, patience, cowardice, resistance to whatever he wants at that time
Personality: Lü Bu is impulsive. Although smart, he doesn't really think; however, his reputation means this comes across as 'being decisive' rather than 'being an absolute moron'. He's hedonistic, taking what he wants, when he wants it, and everyone who tries to get in his way can get out of it or lose it. Has no comprehension of honour or loyalty, being a man governed entirely by impulse, but he's unlikely to bite the hand that feeds him.

As long as he remembers it feeds him, at least.

History (Compulsory)
Bios: Lü Bu first came to prominence as a cavalry commander in the Han Army at Henei Commandery. His service and life prior to this were largely unremarkable, save for his sheer size and skill with weaponry, demonstrated in a few minor actions against bandits. Were it not for the events of the time, however, he likely would have faded into history. But Lü Bu and his cavalry, under Ding Yuan, were ordered by the Dong Zhou to the capital to join his military coup against the eunuchs.

Ding Yuan and Dong Zhou fought over the latter's conduct in the Imperial Court, and Dong Zhou bribed Lü Bu into betraying his superior before he assumed command over Ding Yuan's troops, presenting Dong Zhou with Ding Yuan's head. He led Dong Zhou's rearguard in the flight to Chang'an, seemingly content for now do to as he pleases while nominally owing his loyalties to Dong Zhou.

I’ll admit I don’t really know that much about the Three Kingdoms, but I do possess both a basic knowledge of Total War Three Kingdoms and a willingness to do a heckin’ learn.

On that note, would Zheng Jiang (or Zheng and Jiang since apparently there were two bandit queens, and Creative Assembly combined them into a singular character) be available to drop a quick reservation on?

Is it only technology that has advanced to the 20th century?

Only technology for the most part. Otherwise, society is still pretty much in the 2nd-3rd Centuries, give or take a few anachronisms. You are allowed some leeway when it comes to introducing modern ideologies, but generally speaking, it's still going to be pretty feudalistic. Remember, it isn't just China that's stuck in Antiquity. The rest of the world is affected too, in which case:

To be fair, the trappings of the Imperial Court survived well into the 1920s, eunuchs and all, and most Chinese people lived the same way until the Communist Era, so I don't see the changes in historical setting as super breaking

So the only example of a republic is Rome and the Greek city states or would the people of China have no knowledge of what's going on in Europe apart from those who travel along the silk road?

I think the people of China would have a bit of knowledge of Rome (the Greek city states had pretty much been integrated into the Roman Empire by that point), based on what the Silk Road merchants say. It's just that Greek or Roman democracy in their various styles won't be nearly as popular. Besides, even Rome had become an empire by that point, and well on its way to the Crisis of the Third Century in a few decades.
