Historical Character RP Group



Introduction:
Hello all, this is a RP group dedicated to the sadly oft-neglected topic of historical character RP. This is something of an off-shoot of the main Historical RP group, although most certainly a separate group. Feel free to advertise any historical character Rps here, as well as discuss history and plan future RPs.

Yeah... the reason I hadn't done mine already is that I'd pushed it aside to work on an RP that I hope will be my first successful one... if I can ever finish preparation.

Now to colonize some lands.

And religion. Spread the religion.

And probably some gold.

This time, I'll colonize instead of being colonized by someone.

On a more serious note, I was debating on merging the Character and Faction flavors of RP for a historical RP, specifically dealing with the Wars of the Tetarchy and the third-ish century.

The reason why this isn't a flat up faction flavored RP (how I envision it) is a more interactive version of CK2, where say, Constantine has his forces, but they have their respective commanders whose decisions may shape whether they stay in power, or die.

I chose the third century because Rome was on the tipping point of dissolution, but perhaps a few good generals could restore Rome's might. Not to mention the religious aspects of paganism versus the rise of Christianity, Barbarians versus Rome versus the Persians/Parthinians/Sassanians, absolutism versus a possible republic.

Now down to the nuts and bolts of the "character" aspect.

Say you are the Chief of a Barbarian Tribe, and your chillin with a vat of beer after a long day of pillaging... when a messenger comes in and says that there's this dude who's gettin the priests/shamans riled up by preaching somethin' called "Christianity". It is up to you as a Barbarian King to hear him out or (more likely) ignore or kill him.

If you're the Prophet Mani, and you've pissed off the Shah of Persia by preaching Gnosticism, and every Persian or Zoroastrian within the empire's out for you and your followers's blood, what do you do? You (as Mani) could sacrifice yourself as a martyr, recant, or run like hell with your followers.

Even OP/Co-Op/"God" is not exempt from this sort of potential snarkiness; as OP could create an "omen" (in the semi-legendary angelic appearance to tell Constantine (the person of example) to draweth the cross on your shields), Constantine could either comply, or decide that he shouldn't go back that wine seller ever again. He may even still win the battle through a means of dice-rolling and real time tactics that I've yet to formulate.

So, conceptually, am I asking to much of a standard RP thread? Or maybe this might be worth a shot?

It won't be a standard RP thread, it has the potential to be much more. I say go ahead.
