New Civilizations [OOC | Open]

[Ulls]

So G, why did I start in Iceland?

Didn’t you mention wanting your first post to be Jeb visiting Scandinavia?

Right, then I will need you to RP the King or someone close.

Yep. This I figured Jeb currently being in Iceland to launch the expedition would be most logical.

What is the largest city in Nom Sampai? And do they have the same tech as Norsca in the way of ships?

[Trinity Commonwealth]

Here I am!

Excellent, glad you made it.

*clueless shrug* Not-Oslo? I honestly couldn't tell you.

Tech, more or less. Longships, that sort of good stuff. They won't have the infrastructure to build or maintain heavy war-galleys like Norsca though; their state is yet newly established, after all.

[Pasong Tirad]

Full Name: Arsenio Lacson
Age: 25
Appearance: Skin tone's on the darker side. Light brown eyes. Hair's straight - not 2000s emo teen straight, but it'll definitely stand out from the curly haired Mediterranean folk (I'm just assuming that's what their hair looks like from movies - can be wrong). He's pretty lean, but more athletic-looking than malnourished-looking (he has Jesus' stereotypical body type, basically - kind of ripped but also pretty skinny). He was born left-handed, but he got his pointer and middle fingers stuck in a door hinge when he was five (had to get a couple of stitches), so now he's kind of ambidextrous and writes with his right but still throws with his left. He can grow a very thin moustache and a goatee, but he really won't be able to grow anything more than cat whiskers and chin p*bes - and he basically has no body hair aside from his legs, so he gets cold easily.
Height and Weight: 5'7" (which, if I've Googled it correctly, would be a little above average in the 3rd millennium BCE), 145lbs
Religion: Non-practicing Catholic
Field of Expertise: Theater, theater history, playwriting.
Skills and Strengths: He's quick on his feet, he thinks fast, has pretty good endurance (able to run a 15k easy, 20k if he wants to push it) and he's strong enough for a short and skinny dude. He's a good writer, able to do improv, is able to control a crowd (read: loud voice) and direct them (read: can sound bossy and authoritative). Knowledgeable about history, especially Philippine history and theater history, as well as knowledge of Philippine politics.
Weaknesses: He struggles with depression, has some mild anxiety, a bit on the anti-social side. He's kind of a coward, too, but if backed into a corner he does good enough.
Where in the world are you landing?: Athens, Greece (assuming it's already called Athens - but if the Wikipedia page is correct, there should already be a settlement there, at least)
RP Sample: viewtopic.php?p=32157284#p32157284 viewtopic.php?p=30782596#p30782596

A lot of self examination went into this.

Ah, excellent, good to have you. Yes, self-examination is one of the more interesting parts of this RP.

Just one thing about your application: that’s a lot of Fields of Expertise. To clarify, I’m looking for essentially years of experience in an area to qualify, like an undergrad degree, working in an area for a half-decade, and that good stuff. Whatever makes sense for you to RP most, if not all, aspects of that field accurately.

Sooooo more than elementary/aficionado knowledge should go in Skills and Strengths, not expertise, and I’m guessing you have some categories to move there.

Not sure I possess the necessary skills to be more than a stable mucker or some other variant of hole digger. I know a bit of history but at this point it's likely lost it's predictive value...

It's cool- plenty of room for everymen to hang out and change the world. Even just a normal modern person has a huge leg up on prehistory.

Can't believe Ego's 30 years old and it was able to pull off the things that it did.

Do the Authors come with preinstalled knowledge of their landing spots primary language?

Actually, all languages- though it is contextual. You can't just randomly speak whatever you want, but you can understand languages spoken around you.

Well, you've had a focus for Jeb since the beginning. That helps.

Oooh, you know theater? I do the tech side of theater, but I felt like it wouldn't be useful so I didn't remember it and left it out, haha...

[G-Tech Corporation]

There's your post, Ted.

[Ulls]

And thus the Sunset Invasion has begun.

[Pasong Tirad]

Oooh, you know theater? I do the tech side of theater, but I felt like it wouldn't be useful so I didn't remember it and left it out, haha...

I do! My main degree in college was creative writing with a specialty in playwriting, plus I took a minor degree in theater arts. Most of my experience is also backstage (stage management, mostly) and some tech, a little bit more acting and playwriting. I'm honestly still trying to figure out how I'm going to use that knowledge to my advantage and all I have right now is a very vague idea, but I guess I'll figure it out as I go along.

I'll be posting by the next three days!

[Ulls]

Then if anything, there will be a Skulk community near Franklin in case of an Outworlder invasion and to keep an eye on anything bad going to happen around your neck of the woods.



And this is why Ego fights for the pagans.

Will this be our Cold War? I mean Ted in the RP isn't really radical enough to fear or inflict harm on other religious groups, but if there was like a Cold War feel were there would be massive casualties on both sides, then he might pitch in due to feeling endangered.

Possibly, Ego isn't looking to be picking a fight without fully knowing what may get themselves into. They would want to establish themselves in the continent and cure themselves of smallpox before they could attempt a cold war against the Imperium.

That's pretty cool! I don't have a formal education in technical theater, but I've taken a few courses in it now, and currently do have a paying job doing the technical side of theater, lighting specifically.

Cool post Lab.

I hope you're ready for the pagan counterattack...

Also, the chances of a tribe in Mongolia having access to tin in 3000 BCE are about nil.

Well looks like i'm going to have to make do with copper. Also the pagans will have no chance against my holy warriors
