New Civilizations (2nd Era, OOC, Always Open )

[Alaroma]

Idk man, they're seperated by an entire ocean and the Med, I'm pretty sure as long as you don't use them to your advantage you can do that, or something.

Nah, just send someone or your own Author down to Ur once the whole war is cleared up and we can talk about gunpowder and gun/cannon/rocket development.

Ngl gunpowder knowledge is kinda lame, hurts the vibe. Whatever tho.

Not really, I mean the Imperium will be in our neighborhood soon and the Near East needs whatever edge it can get. Besides it will take years to actually put that stuff into any sort of good weaponry.

I mean, fair. Either way, is there anything Aksum can do to help Sumer in it’s crusade? I feel that’s a fair question.

Supplies, coin, and volunteers. All will be accepted and paid back on a later date.

Maybe supplies and coin in the form of valuable commodities, however no volunteers besides advisors. Though Aksumites will be around as Merchants and Missionaries.

Nah, no merchants or missionaries I'm afraid. Advisors will help and valuable commodities can help buy mercs.

Wait you mean no other Aksumites in the country?

Oh no, I didn't mean it like that. Just that the government would be interested in sending you on to the frontlines making sure that no other rebel forces get through proclaiming they to are Aksumites.

Alright so no merchants or missionaries in Government warfare. I assumed that, but nice for confirmation.

But not I’m just saying what Aksumites May be generally doing in the area.

Just as a note the first crusaders are the followers of the Great Bull and the Celestial Goddesss who seek to destroy the dark waters of the Kraken menace. Remember you must not eat the devil octopuss, your soul will be saved by sunshine, the four daily prayers to the north, east, west, and south. The hammer of the righteous shall smite those foreign sinners.

Must panic a lot during directionless cloudy days now do you lot?

They go down to the ocean and beat the waves to drive away the darkness and evil spirits.

[Ralnis]

Commons, we need that cult for the gunpowder. Once the secrets are Sumers and/or Nestos' then do what must be done.

Meanwhile I make a post for the peeps over there.

Gunpowder, I was thinking more like tear gas and sulfur dioxide, something which I used earlier. The cult got away. Plant irritants picked, dried, ground up, distilled and boiled again until they leave a fine residue which is mixed with sulfur and pitch to make an irritant gas. Distillates of black pepper, onions and other plants. An upgrade.

Also weapon poisons, snake venom, aconite, hellebore, and other distillates for spears and arrows. All the way from incapacitants to killing weapons.

Maybe even a scene with a blowgun.

Something that fits with my botanical theme.

Also scorpion bombs.

I have a retired Hand who has named himself Snake who keeps a poison garden and a cages for venomous animals to think of.

The other thing is the double piston flamethrower which we were working on.

Also war dogs and probably a few African Forest Elephants in the style of Hannibal.

We have to hunt down the cult.

I will put the biography later. :3

Author Applicaiton
Name: Nikolai Aleksandr Sapohznik
Age: 36
Height and Weight: 5'8"
Skin, hair, and eye description: Nikolai has the fair skin typical to people of Slavic descent, though he has the black hair that his mixed Levantine heritage grants. His eyes are a dim grey.
Picture:

Prior Profession: College Professor
Level of education: Masters in Analytical Chemistry. He also had crash courses in Business Administration. It should also be noted that he knows a TON of history due to self education and YouTube.
Physique description: It can be said that Nikolai won the genetic lottery; he doesn't need to workout too much to maintain his form. He isn't particularly a heavy lifter, but he compensates with the genius mind that he has.
Useful skills: He is a master in chemistry, which means he pretty much knows how to make concoctions like gunpowder and cement. Also, his knowledge of administration and history lets him govern quite well, along with (very shaky given that the history of the world will be shaped by authors) being able to predict what will happen in the future.

National Origin: American; fourth generation Russian Jewish immigrant.
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: He was writing the next chapter in his book entitled "Never Forget", a collection of interviews on multiple Holocaust survivors that he spoke to. He was making it into a novel.
Description of personality: Nikolai is a clever joker, perhaps best known for his love of memes on history and science. He has many strange interests, and is seen as strange as a result. However, he is also a flaunter of his superior intellect and looks down on those that don't understand in his level, giving him a mixed reputation. Still, he is ostensibly caring and defensive for those he sees as a friend or as equals, but other people that are not as close don't receive the same treatment, and may even be seen with contempt if they had assaulted him in the past.
Where in the world are you landing?: Near modern day Krakow, Poland.

Autobiography/Biography: Nikolai Sapohznik was born in New York City as the first child of Piotr Andreevich Sapohznik and Isabella Clark. He had two siblings after himself: Grigory and Catherine. Growing up, he proved himself to be especially intelligent in the sciences, though he was a no show in the arts (except for singing, he's a crazy good tenor). At age 18, he entered Stanford University in Great Britain, where he excelled in general. It was in Stanford that he met the love of his life; a Brit girl by the name of Elizabeth Turner. What's more is that she was his first and last, and in their junior year he finally proposed to her while being surrounded by their friends and some professors, to which she said yes. It should be noted, however, that Nikolai is, for the lack of a better word, a pretty conservative person, and he pretty much forbade Elizabeth from night life. This produced some... Let's say, friction between them as they neared graduation, but Elizabeth would see that her boyfriend's thinking is for the best.

18 years on, they have been married for 10 years. Nikolai landed himself the position of professor in one of New York's colleges, while Elizabeth was being a painter in the house that got paid five digit payments whenever some organization wanted her to make a mural on their walls. Their first daughter, Yekaterina, has been doing well in elementary, until... The day came when Nikolai went up to their bed room and never came back...
What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?: To create a unified Slav nation stretching from Russia to Poland down to Bulgaria. Never mind that they haven't migrated to most of those places yet; these lands will be ours given enough time.
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: The peoples of Eastern Europe, of course. Oh, and the Levant.
Why did you choose to land where you did?: Düring the days of the Russian Empire, his ancestors lived near Krakow, and when anti-Jewish persecution heightened under the czarist regime, that is when they fled to America.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?: Take Russia and Poland and make them convert to Judaism (ala Khazar Khaganate). Also make them convert to Christianity when the time comes.
What are your character's motivations?: He knows most of the events that would eventually transpire in history, and when the time comes, he wishes for Eastern Europe to be a powerful safe haven for the Jews while the rest of the world persecutes them.
Theme Song?: One Million Voices by Two Steps from Hell
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?:

How dare your theme song not be the vodka-induced coma that is Rasputin
