Updated Info.
(W.I.P. I might add more)
Monroe now officially has a estate in Mara, were for the past several years he has nurtured a official family dynasty via addition of orphans and acceptance of servants into his employ. He however does seek to get married, tho is duty to the Imperium keeps him away from home often.

Decades as an Imperial General across the continent have made Monroe one of (if not the best, words from G-tech himself) Military commanders in the Imperium, tho he has flirted with the idea of entering the civil service to attain more influence in the wider imperial government.

By and large a land and business owner, Monroe on his personal time is always looking for opportunities to invest and further grow his fortune. A rather large example of this is the sponsoring and building of the Bardic College in Mara, a beacon of culture and learning.

A self fashioned champion of imperial culture and people, the Monroe Estates puts on a grand Imperial Festival every year (Also called the harvest fair) In events and games that highlight the virtues and courage of the Imperium and her people. This events doubles as an annual event to further influence with the Imperial autocracy.

Tho originally from the north, Monroe is very loyal to his new home, and seeks to keep the Imperium as peaceful and prosperous as possible.

Religiously a christian, and personally responsible for the building of several churches threw out the Imperium, Monroe champions the value of religious tolerance in the empire.

reposting ye olde prophet.

Author Applicaiton

Name: Marley Camdens
Age: 25
Height and Weight: 5'11 , 181 lbs.
Skin, hair, and eye description: A slightly feminine man of charming features such as nearly bleach blonde hair, alluring green eyes, and pale apricot skin.
( Optional ) Picture:

Prior Profession: Former handyman apprentice throughout his adolescence. Former Missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Former college student while simultaneously working on his tradesman/handyman skills.
Level of education ( specify degrees or note worthy classes ): Major in Civil Engineering @ Brigham Young University with side-classes on Religious studies.
Physique description: Despite his twink-like build, he tucks away a fair amount of slender muscle on a swimmer's body, meaning he isn't completely useless when it comes to matters of physical strength, yet his cut-off point of physical endurance can be considered average.
Useful skills: Excellent knowledge on the Bible and Book of Mormon-- complete with the ability to recite a multitude of scriptures perfectly and interpret them to lessons to be taught. Master level of handyman skills-- meaning he is craftier than the average person due to being an apprentice and tradesman since childhood. His college education in Civil Engineering means that he can plan, run, and maintain cities and villages well, adding to his already present charisma and public speaking skills which both already make him out to be an excellent leader.

National Origin: Bountiful, Utah
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: He was writing scriptures and life lessons to be discussed on the next day's sacrament meeting at Church which he was called to speak to.
Description of personality: Charismatic and lovable, he has been appreciated as a leader figure for most of his life. With frightening public speaking skills accented by taking debate club in high school, he can rile up a crowd and convince them to take action. Some of his peers compared him as 'second only to Hitler' in how well he could rally up listeners and captivate them. With the right cards play, he can gain a close following. This sadly comes with the ability to manipulate and convince others, which while it makes it easier for others to believe that he is a prophet-- can easily lead to corruption within his anticipated church.
Where in the world are you landing?: The Sertig Valley in Alpine Switzerland. Around the area of the soon-to-be village of Sertig-Dörfli. Sparsely populated, a closer connection to the residents can be had. Should all goes well, the area of Sertig-Dörfli will be developed into the capital of Sariah.

Autobiography/Biography ( paragraph minimum ): Born into a massive Mormon family in Utah, Marley had been the youngest. As more and more of his 7 siblings graduated, went to missionary service, and started families of their own, he went on to become the star child in his family. Living a life of success and moral correctness, he has had his own fair share of obstacles. Coming out as bisexual to his oddly accepting family, the stress of preparing for college, the change of heart of going on a mission, serving the world, and making it a better place. Now, in his adulthood, he prepares a sacrament talk for the congregation. His last meal had been lemon girl scout cookies with a side of oatmeal and milk. Falling asleep, he now takes up in the past-- believing himself to be a prophet of God and destined to re-establish his own interpretation of the church across the world.

( Optional on down)
What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?: Be a prophet and form a religious movement first in the alps and swiss plateaus and call it the promised land, forge a custom language, make a lot of people angry, LGBT harems, divine revelation, and martyrdom. As a long term goal, I do hope to be known by as many of the existent characters as possible.
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Joseph Smith and many of the other Latter-day Saint pioneers in both modern and biblical times, but with an obviously liberal and inclusive spin on them.
Why did you chose to land where you did?: It's isolated. Few people can invade it, few people live here. If you're isolated with people, you get closer to them and thus they are easier to convince. What better place to start your own religious cult than a place where only the suicidal can march their troops through? The population problem can easily by solved by breeding, polygamy, and conversion of foreigners. With a few years time, it's an obvious win-win for my goals.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?: Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, Illinois and Brigham Young in Utah. Basically a religious 'promised land utopia' feel.
What are your character's motivations?: He feels as if God himself anointed him to be a prophet to spread what he feels is the true gospel of Jesus Christ and to predict the events in the Bible and Book of Mormon. This also gives him leeway to do what he wants out of this power-- for example, if he has male partners in his family and he correctly predicts biblical events, he can change the entirety of Christianity and by default Mormonism to be more inclusive and accepting of people. Furthermore, it gives him a chance to make something special out of his cookie cutter life. If he starts a complete society, forges an army, and restores the gospel all by himself, he will feel accomplished. All while he does these things, he will record them in what he would call the Book of Camdens, on his own metal plates.
Theme Song?: Praise to the Man
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?: A lot more activity in regards to the map, accepting/denying apps, and so on. Also, a New Civilizations Discord Server would be nice.

Sariah, the fictional city set up by Marley Camdens in the hilly Sertig Valley where the Sertig-Dörfli village should be IRL. At the moment, Sariah has a moderately sized claim that has yet to be expanded to beyond their own home territory. This is Camden's location as well as the immediate territory surrounding Sariah in the alps.

As time went by the winter chills affect him more, than they used to and he grew a firm distaste in winter weather. Regardless the boy grew mature and responsible, getting a job, helping around the house, and helping his father before his passing. With this firm stalwart attitude from being raised from his father, he was able to act upon himself, and become mostly free-thinking.

An athlete and martial artist from a young age, Danial spent much of his free time honing his body with martial arts and learning more hands on activities such as sailing or tinkering with his dad, and tending his family’s garden with his mother. When he turned 18, he was conscripted into the Singaporean military like all other fit young men. He learned a number of skills that he would carry with him after being discharged, and will prove useful in the new world he’ll find himself in. Rather than stay longer than the required two years service, Danial left to pursue his dream of fighting on the world stage. After building up a reputation as an amateur fighter, Danial had his first professional fight at the age of 23. The next two years that followed proved to be a successful time for Danial as he earned a number of wins. Unfortunately his achievements would be short lived, on the night of his 25th birthday Danial was transported to the ancient past.

Author Application
Name: Bruno Davids
Age: 24
Height and Weight: 1.78m, 80kg
Skin, hair, and eye description: White, cleanly shaven, with short, messy, light brown hair and blue-grey eyes.
Picture:

Prior Profession:Labour union lawyer
Level of education: Bachelor in law, master's degree in treaty law, taken classes in labour law, ancient Egyptian law and history of public and private law
Physique description: Bruno has a relatively strong build, but lacks the endurance necessary to compete in sports. He has the strength to be good tennis player, but lacks the stamina to actually compete at higher levels.
Useful skills: Basic survival skills, teaching talent, oratory and legal knowledge

National Origin: Dutch
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Walking through the city of Leiden
Description of personality: Bruno is a pacifist, who makes it his personal mission to please others. He suffers from major self esteem issues, which makes him very keen to please the people he meets. However, he is also motivated to work, and whenever he sets himself to a task, he wants to do it perfectly. Of course, no task can be done perfectly, which feeds into the loop of feeling inadequate.
Where in the world are you landing?: Around the Montpellier area, southern France

Autobiography/Biography: Bruno was born in 1995 to a moderately wealthy household. From early on in his life, he was intrigued by various subjects, including history, the sciences, and politics. Being granted a vivid imagination, he liked to imagine stories. His imagination and interest in various subjects, as well as his sensitive (some would say hypersensitive) nature, made him a favourite target of grade school bullies, whose treatment left permanent emotional baggage and self esteem issues. However, Bruno learnt that humour was a potent shield against those who would deride him, and became quite ad rem in that regard.

After high school, which was somewhat more bearable than grade school, Bruno went on to study law. It combined his interest in politics and the written word, and gave him an alley into possibly doing work that would be beneficial to others, which was the main reason for his choice of course. He had particular interest in legal history and human rights law, and went on to do a master's degree in public international law, specialising in the law of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Following his studies, he applied for various jobs, and was eventually hired to a senior lawyer position in a large union. After having only worked there for a week, he was teleported into the past.

What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?: To build a world from the ground up, where no poverty exists and where everyone is cared for equally.
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: I'm always inspired by Napoleon, although I am a pacifist. Just a mix of Augustus, Napoleon, Frederick II (of the Holy Roman Empire), and Justinian
Why did you chose to land where you did?: There is a lot of area to work with, it is rather fertile, but not very advanced yet.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?: A civilisation not really concerned with glory and conquest, but rather with inward perfection. A kingdom of justice where laws bind both citizens and the government.
What are your character's motivations?: Equality and justice
Theme Song?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02PxQmHIQ5o
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?: Some civilisations might advance a bit too rapidly. It should take a lot of time for technology to progress, since manufacturing bases need a lot of population to create the economy necessary to sustainable use tech. Getting population up should be a primary goal of the players, since the size of an economy is primarily linked to its population.

Name: Mark Hoffman

Age: 33

Height and Weight: 5'8, 170 lbs

Skin, hair, and eye description: Fair skin, dark brown hair, blue eyes.

Picture:

Prior Profession: Office Manager

Level of education: Bachelor's Degree in Economics from the University of Michigan.

Physique description: A little shorter than average, not fat but not thin either. A little heavyset, with broad shoulders and thicker torso.

Useful skills: Gardening, public speaking ability and charisma, understanding of religion and faith, basic knowledge of fishing, organizational skills.

National Origin: American

What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Driving home from work.

Description of personality: Mark is relatively calm and gregarious, although he has a fiery temper when provoked. He's a hard worker from a large family, caring deeply about his brothers and sisters. More clever than intellectually smart. He has some flaws - not extremely driven, has a tendency to arrive late, suppresses negative emotions away and lets them bake.

Where in the world are you landing?: Norway

Autobiography/Biography: Mark was born on April 30, 1987, as the oldest of six to a family born in Hastings, Michigan. His father was an accountant and his mother a stay-at-home mom. He was raised in a religious household, going to church every Sunday without fail. In high school, he played baritone in the marching band as well as ran on the track team. After graduating in the top 10% of his high school, he was accepted to the University of Michigan for Economics. This wasn't a well thought out decision - he didn't know exactly what he wanted to do, but he enjoyed it in high school and thought that it was a versatile degree. During college, he was relatively average. Not a terrible student, not an incredible one either. He worked for the school library part-time, mostly reading when he was at the desk. Although he was an avid member of the speech and debate club, this pursuit did not lead to anything greater.

After graduating, he found a job through one of his father's friends as an administrative assistant for their CPA firm, moving on to an office manager in charge of payroll and benefits after the early retirement of his supervisor. Mark's one regret is that he feels an immense sense of wasted potential - like he could have done something more with his life. He's still a bachelor at 33, making decent but not great money, with a few close friends. Sometimes, he wishes he could have another chance...to be something else.

What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?: Create an economically prosperous kingdom, with the well-being of its citizens placed at the forefront. No military empires or fanatical dictatorships - rather, an egalitarian society that stands the test of time.

What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Robespierre, Lorenzo Medici, Napoleonic France, and the Quakers and Freemasons.

Why did you chose to land where you did?: The chance to hop in to an already-somewhat established nation is nice. Rather than starting from scratch, I can mold what's already there, which presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities.

What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?: Early American state confederacy, a humanistic theocracy, Phoenicia, Italian city-states.

What are your character's motivations?: To achieve the potential that he believes he squandered, and to find meaning and purpose.

Author Application

Name: Clara Axinite Juliansdóttir Rose af Toronto, at your service.
Age: I’m forty-five this year, to the best of my reckoning. Yeah, surprises everyone, that.
Height and Weight: My last measurements were 1.72 metres in height and 72kg in weight, but I haven’t been properly measured in two and a half decades. I’m probably a bit heavier, if I had to guess.
Skin, hair, and eye description: Appearance? That’s another difficult one... uh, typical brunette, eyes the colour of fire, and skin just a tad too dark to pass off as a tan. The people here are darker than the so-called Caucasians used to be in Canada, though, so here I might as well be the archetype of the unremarkable, forgettable woman. Other than my sharp, fiery eyes, that is.

Prior Profession: Student. I was never anything other than a student before... before I came here.
Level of education: International Baccalaureate degree - and I scored well enough to be proud there, I assure you - with higher level Physics, Maths, Chemistry and standard level Economics, English Literature, and Mandarin Chinese. I also picked up one year of Civil Engineering in college after that, but I don’t feel like I really learned anything there.
Physique description: Better than it used to be, for sure. I was never a sporty girl back in Canada, although I wasn’t gangly or strangely-proportioned either. Living in this post-apocalyptic wasteland like a bronze-age primitive, though, has put a lot of muscles on my bone where there didn’t use to be. There ain’t be no public transport here, to say nothing of elevators.
Useful skills: Uh... not much? Pretty useless person here. I’m definitely the most knowledgeable person in my country, between my education and my hobby in history and human geography, but in terms of actual skills... I was one of those people who couldn’t replace a bike tyre back in my youth. Afterwards... not even my beloved’s dedicated and diligent tutelage has made me into a competent warrior. I’m a superb administrator and organiser, but that’s probably about it.

National Origin: Canadian. Technically. I don’t feel like one, though. Third culture kid problems, I suppose.
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Oh, goodness. You want me to remember that? It was twenty-five years ago! Er... knowing myself, probably some useless rubbish I shouldn’t have been doing.
Description of personality: I consider myself a quiet, polite sort of person. The kind of person you can stick in any situation and expect to be inoffensive and unobtrusive. I’m not disturbed or get emotional easily. Don’t be entirely fooled, though - that inoffensive visage hides a fiercely determined, stubborn interior. For after the trials of the past decade, how can I be anything but?
Where in the world are you landing?: Roskilde, the capital-to-be of the world.

Autobiography/Biography: I’ll start at the beginning and list chronologically. I was born to Julian and Sophia Rose, my parents, on the 28th January 1999 in some nameless Ontario hospital. I remember having a fairly comfortable childhood - privileged, even, by some perspectives. My father was always off on some business trip, though, and he felt pretty lonely out there, so when he landed a long-term assignment in Bangkok our family moved with him. This was in 2006 or 2007 or so. I went to an international school there. Looking back now, I remember it as being an awesome school in facility, faculty, and even the students, but at the time I wasn’t very happy there. I was cut off from the friends I made in Canada and didn’t really make new ones. In 2014 our family moved again to Seoul, South Korea, and here I had a much more active student life. I pulled good grades, was the star of the debate team, did a lot of other clubs where I made good friends. I remember looking absolutely dashing in a blouse and a blazer, in those days. After graduating senior school I interned for a human rights organisation for half a year, before going back to Canada to study civil engineering. I didn’t really do or learn much there, I don’t think... and then a year later my world turned upside down when that happened. The rest, well, you know. Found the love of my life, forged peace in the north, accidentally triggered a wave of violent hooligans across the Continent... the little things in life.

What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Oh, lots of places. My one advantage here in this world is my knowledge, and I am going to use it. From the grand ideals of the Enlightenment to Canada’s parliamentarism, from the maritime culture of the Viking age to the beautiful depictions of nature in Korean art... what I know, I use.
Why did you chose to land where you did?: ...what do you mean, “chose”? You mean I could have landed somewhere else? Why didn’t anyone tell me so? I mean, I suppose Roskilde is as good a place as any, right in the heart of the Scandinavian people with ample access to the coast... I suppose it could’ve been a lot worse.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?: The people that I am proud to now call my own are an honourable people, not like the oath-breaking traitors of the south. We’re a compassionate people, bound to our neighbours in solidarity. And we’re a proud people, who will admit no master over us.
What are your character's motivations?: I want to secure the freedom and prosperity of this nation of which I am now a part. I wish to provide the comforts and wealth of an industrial civilisation to my new homeland without making any of the mistakes that, in the history I learned, accompanied this process. I want to preserve this beautiful culture and nature of the Scandinavian lands. There are a lot of things I want, and only history will tell whether I will get them.
Theme Song?: Ha! You’re a funny lad, aren’t you? Danmark for folket. That would be my superhero song.
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?: Honestly? More than anything I wish my luck was better... at this rate I’m going to get crushed. Not that I’m asking for a natural disaster on my neighbours, mind, that would be exceedingly rude, but...

Author Applicaiton
Name: Nikolai Aleksandr Sapohznik (Just call him Sasha)
Age: 22
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 Student
Level of education: He finished bachelors in Psychology and was in his second year for Journalism He also had crash courses in Business Administration. It should also be noted that he knows a TON of history and practical science 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 (which is not super impressive either, mind you). He isn't particularly a heavy lifter, but he compensates with the mind that he has.
Useful skills: He has a great stock of knowledge in practical science, which means he pretty much knows how to make concoctions, specifically gunpowder and bricks (not that he can do it himself, he just knows the procedures). He is also a pretty competent leader if the opportunity presents itself. Given enough time and a lab, he'll be producing innovations by applying all the knowledge he has, though that takes some time to do.

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 Moscow, Russia.

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, as well as the piano). He was homeschooled due to his asthmatic tendencies, and as a result finished junior high school in just two years instead of the standard four years. At age 16, he entered college in New York, where he excelled in general and finished at age twenty. It was in his second course that he met the love of his life; a 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. As all of this went on, he spent most of his free time learning about things that most people wouldn't consider useful.

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. Also we’ll take Canada before the Brits do.
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 within the Pale of Settlement, 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. It would have the vibes of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union (If they became a capitalist nation), Byzantium, and the British Empire.
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. He also wants to solidify Russia as a global superpower in the world stage.
Theme Song?: One Million Voices by Two Steps from Hell
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?:

(Yes, I entered college at age 16, homeschooling has its perks)

Author Application
Name: Emmalynn Leisaghiou ar Nola(Not my birth name, not quite my chosen name, but new world, new you!)
Age: 17
Height and Weight: 5’7”, 143lbs. I’ve been trying to learn metric but my country of origin does not do well to encourage it.
Skin, hair, and eye description: Pale skin(Burning or tanning is roughly a 50/50 shot), wavy brown hair that easily gets some wispy sandy blonde streaks from sun exposure, and dark brown eyes
Picture:

Prior Profession: Moderately Enthusiastic High School Student
Level of education: High School Education(~Thru most of junior year), note: 5 years of French, 3 of Chinese
Physique description: I’m overall lithe with a mesomorphic body type. Very proud of my small waist, to the point that I’ve written a whole sentence about it. Kinda thicc, also kinda bony elsewhere. Honest, my body’s just a tad weird, but I suppose that’s life. I will say, I’m not athletic, I hold my chest when I run, and my ankles roll like nobody’s business, so anything involving strenuous physical activity is not great fun for me.
Useful skills: I’m a whiz with languages and social studies. Notable as far as social studies go, I’ve been doing quite well in my AP Economics course(Alas, I’ll never know the end of Macro). Thanks to a rather unorthodox elementary school curriculum and years of playing and watching people play map games, I’m really good at drawing maps, especially world maps. I have a bit of background in small-scale administration, so I would say that I have an inclination towards putting together bureaucracies. Otherwise, I have a decent base in biology thanks to a childhood full of BBC and National Geographic, a good bit of knowledge about digestive health and other reasons for abdominal pain due to lots of gastroenterologist visits, and a good bit of lagniappe theoretical knowledge from my pathological wikipedia reading that may prove useful here and there. As an easy example, although I have no chance in hell of even figuring out how to forge the boiler, I know the rough mechanics of a steam engine, so if someone sorted the metallurgy part, I might be able to help put it to use.

National Origin: United States
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: I was napping on the bus. Frankly, I was really looking forward to a snack and a cup of tea.
Description of personality: I’m a very contradictory person in a few ways. I blame my upbringing. I’m naturally timid, but I’ve been working for a while on being bolder, and so sometimes I’ll speak my mind and then immediately curl up and hide, figuratively. I fancy myself smart, but at the same time I like to make a conscious effort to remind myself about the Dunning-Kruger effect whenever I think I’m getting good at something. I’m pessimistic by nature, but years of verbal abuse and counselling(not at once) have left me in an odd position where I can see the bright side but feel more comfortable assuming the worst. I’ve been told I’m tough on myself. Maybe it’s a mixture of perfectionism, maniacal tendencies, and a bastardised sense of vanity, but I definitely do have a tendency towards brutal judgements both towards myself and towards others. For politeness’ sake, I don’t voice them, but I often can’t help thinking. Also I can be pretty hard-headed, sometimes scarily oblivious, a bit impatient, and have occasional bursts of mania where I’m just busy as a bee.
Where in the world are you landing?: England, Rainham Marshes Nature Preserve, right on the banks of the Aerbaker

Autobiography/Biography:
I was born a bouncing baby boy in New Orleans. My original name is something I plan on forgetting eventually, so why document it? During my early childhood, I was privy to multigenerational living arrangements, as I was the 6th generation to grow up in the family home, and lived with not only my parents and younger brother, but my great grandparents as well. My mom and dad married fresh out of college and in college respectively, so we were not particularly in a great position financially, which led to my dad working long hours. He did his best to be present by coming home for dinner and stuff, but it was tough. My great grandma did a lot to help raise me until she passed. Before she did, though, we had to live through Katrina. Some of my earliest memories come from that time. But, back on track. I was homeschooled for elementary school, and my mother was functionally a single mother for a while when my dad was up at seminary for a year. She ran depressed, and I had to pick up some of the slack as a result, which as you can imagine left me in an awkward mental position.

Moving on to the second era of my life, my dad’s time in seminary put strain on my parents’ marriage, as I understand, so my preadolescent years had a bit of an upheaval as my parents divorced and I got sent to a private school, kudos to an endowment for the children of ordained ministers. To be clear, my father and I are Anglican, not Catholic(Though I was baptised Catholic). Middle school saw my mother remarrying, then my father doing the same in my 8th grade year. My mother’s husband, I’m afraid, was not great for my mental health. He figured I was a gay boy, and didn’t recognise my damage mental health as a problem. He really was a garbage parental figure, to be frank. He and my mother made us of numerous authoritarian parenting techniques that did far more harm than good, which left me with longstanding trust issues.

In the summer between 7th and 8th grade, I had a real shakeup as far as self-image went, because at summer camp I found out I was trans. (Fun Meta Fact: I actually figured it out in large part courtesy of NS). I’ve never been one to be patient, and I estimated that my mother would not at all be supported, so, after due research, I stole an exacto-knife from my science teacher’s, got a zip tie, and engaged in DIY surgery. It left an ugly scar, and severely complicated any theoretical prospects of SRS, but it achieved the goal of slamming the breaks on the male puberty that had just recently began for me.

Of course, readers may note that removing one set of gonads won’t immediately compel the body to switch tracks to a different puberty, which is where the next part of our story leads. I often helped my great grandfather with a variety of tasks. Notably, I helped him write out a lot of his information for tax purposes, which meant that I had access to a checking account that was relatively infrequently referenced. So, I took advantage of that, and funded my illicit acquisition of hormonal treatments via regular small transferrals into a paypal account. It was a lot of work, and a lot of stress, but I succeeded at it.

Baggy clothes and, after a while, ace bandages kept the physical changes out of question, since my voice had dropped early, and I made a point of feigning masculinity as much as possible to keep them from suspecting anything serious. Between the end of freshman year and the beginning of sophomore year, though, shit really hit the fan, as, although I kept my treatments a secret, I did end up getting dragged out of the closet by one particularly nasty line of questioning from my stepfather. Strong tensions started getting even worse, and, after they tried to pry into a section of my personal life I was especially keen on not bringing to light, I decided to run away to my dad’s to live full time.

Since I was nearly 16, they couldn’t really do anything legally, even though CPS wasn’t involved, I got my way, and stayed at my dad’s full time. We tried to address some of the affairs in front of a psychiatrist, but really I don’t think anything came of it other than a guarantee that I’m not bipolar. So that leads me to my last year in the modern world. Although the great grandpa gravy train was no longer funding me, I had managed to get a job with the church nursery that provided just enough monthly income to foot the bill. In addition to new housing arrangements, I transferred schools. It’s a funny story as to how I ended up going to the best school in the state. My dad sent in an application for me in semi-jest when I complained about how slow my school’s curriculum was moving, and thanks to a set of decent PSAT scores, some good grades under my belt, and, I assume, a great stroke of luck, I was accepted in. I made a lot of good friends, and, really, for probably the first time in my life I was doing pretty well. I had plans to head to Memorial University of Newfoundland and leave America, but I guess the universe had a cheekier way of sending me abroad.
What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?: Survival at the moment, perhaps setting up an education system and building a functional life in the future.
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Qing Dynasty, Bourbon France, Communist Romania, Japanese Empire, Joseon Dynasty, Huey P. Long, Jimmy Smallwood, Antonio Salazar, St. Olga, Joseph Stalin
Why did you choose to land where you did?: I’m afraid I left myself to the mercy of https://miniwebtool.com/random-picker/
What vibe should we get from your civilization and its culture?: Hopefully something nice and industrialist. Steampunk is a pipe dream, but it might come to fruition eventually.
What are your character's motivations?: At the very least, finding a social niche to occupy. At the most, helping steer humanity towards global domination as one people. Another pipe dream is seeing my transition to proper “completion,” as I define it.
Theme Song?: Jalousie, Hei Haloo, Disobedient, Battle of Wuhan. Maybe I’ll keep adding and make a personal playlist.
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?: I’m eager for what’s already there, but if I think of anything notable, I’ll definitely bend your ear.

Author Applicaiton

Name: Gaukhar Erzhanova
Age: 27
Height and Weight: 5'9, 150lb
Skin, hair, and eye description: Slightly Pale (Now more tanned thanks to the desert heat), Dark brown hair, Amber eyes.
Picture:

But this could be more befitting later on:

Prior Profession: Graduate from the University of Riverside with honors in History and Mathematics, Going for a teachers associate degree.
Level of education ( specify degrees or note worthy classes ): Bachelors Degree in History and Mathematics
Physique description: For a Kazakh, Gaukhar is a bit taller than her fellow countrymen. As a result, she has more stamina and better body strength to aid herself in day to day activities. From all the times of using a falcon to hunt for sport with, she seems to have keen eyes, and isn't really afraid of feeding one, nor show as much fear when ones being aggressive. She can lift heavy objects as a result, and usually doesn't have much trouble lifting things. This seems to have been weakened a bit since she moved to the U.S, but can be easily recovered with a few months of reshaping and getting back to shape.
Useful skills: Horseback riding (Probably won't be useful until horse riding is introduced to the region or any horses found), animal husbandry (Meaning she could cater to farm animals such as goats, cows and such), medium levels of survival skills (She knows how to hunt, but just falcon hunting, but she understands the basis of survival such as rationing food and water, knowing what to eat and not to eat, all that sorts of things). These skills namely come from the fact she grew up like this on a farm.

National Origin: Kulandy, Kazakhstan
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Was out getting a late night snack at a nearby 7-11 (not really a good idea to go out at night especially at University & Iowa. Trust me), feeling very hungry, and noticing there was nothing at all in the house. Then after that, just browse on the internet looking at some YouTube Videos on her phone, before falling asleep on her bed.
Description of personality: Gaukhar is normally not very trusting with other people, but overtime, she had learned that sometimes, you have to trust people in order to get anywhere in the world. She usually doesn't smile unless the situation requires it, and keeps to herself most of the time. Gaukhar is a naturally very curious person when it comes to certain things, and will usually try to look around for whatever she can to help find out what is going on with what is happening. She is also a fast learner, and it wouldn't take long for her to adapt to something.

It can be kind of hard to really tell what Gaukhar is feeling at times. But overall, Gaukhar is a morally ambitious woman who seems to care much about those around her. Being exposed to others for a long time can help her much with building up trust with other people and make connections very easily. Her untrustworthiness of others from her past life, was namely due to her being stereotypically viewed as Chinese. Now, she feels less paranoid of others, and more open, completely changing her life around, especially after her arrival in the new world and being included by her new home.

Gaukhar can sometimes be a bit insane however, probably due to the desert heat hitting her. She usually sees illusions of things, such as the time where she founded Neo-Islam with Ancient Egyptian Religious characteristics, and will usually see things others can't see. This usually happens to her every once in a while, but usually if she is out in the sun for too long, or haven't had any water in a while. These grand delusions can be possible from the fact that she has not aged since she had arrived, and her structure remained the same. This can cause her to be somewhat mentally insane.
Where in the world are you landing?: Siwa Oasis

Autobiography/Biography ( paragraph minimum ):
Gaukhar prior to moving to the United States, was born in an isolated community in Kazakhstan known as Kulandy. Growing up, she would learn how to hunt, use a falcon and helped around the farm. Her education was provided when she went over to the nearby town of Aralsk. Despite the hardships she faced, she had a passion for the two things she enjoyed, history of the ancient cultures of the world, namely the Massagetaes, the Iranian Empires, and the Assyrians. She would also have her passion for mathematics, falling inlove and becoming a bit of a mathematical nerd herself. Being apart of a foreign exchange program, Gaukhar would attend school in the United States when she succeeded in her studies, and would graduate from High School with a diploma, and even made it through the trials and errors of college, receiving her Bachelors Degree in History and Mathemetics, and went on to study to become a teacher and would teach the things she love, something she did before she was sent back to the past.

[hr]

What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?: My intentions is namely to see a development of a person who never had any experience in an area she would not be so familiar with, and people that in no way, looks like her, come to grow with her, and strive on to see where the character goes. I want to see the challenge of starting off in a location no one really has heard of either, and see where she will go from there. My long term goal is character development, interaction and all of that. I focus namely on character development when it comes to character based roleplay. Yeah, it may turn into a bigger political situation, but we are starting off really really early... so it's going to be a while until we reach then.

Also, maybe compare her new life to her old life, as both are isolated communities in the middle of nowhere, and both seem to relate to the day to day activities of being surrounded by dryland, in her case, near a former sea that is now probably all reformed and restored and super super clean, and her new home having actual drinking water. Probably a few differences here and there, such as not feeling the modernly vibe from the Soviet-like life style of the village she was from, but still. It would be interesting to be put back in a rural environment, compared to her previous Urban one.

But if you really want a long-term goal, to create a rich, powerful empire that can prove that even with smaller borders than others, a smaller empire can still be powerful and functionally rich at the same time. Oh, and horses. Lots of horses. Horses good. Maybe introduce Kumis? To recreate the empire of Kemet, and to make it into a strong and powerful technologically advanced civilization based around research and technology. Grander than the Imperium.
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: The Berber People Groups, the Ancient Egyptians, The Kushites, the Ancient Phoenicians the Ancient Assyrians.
Why did you chose to land where you did?: The Siwa Oasis is very isolated, and is a perfect place to start a journey of someone lost. Especially if it is something that you could baseline a culture that could become very powerful in the future. Besides, having a start in an isolated community can get people to know you and trust you far better than starting in a well established area, which can cause conflict faster.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?: The Berbers were pretty matrilenial before, so maybe try to improvise with a more woman ran society? Namely feeling the sense of a more matriarchal desert culture that would emerge to the stage eventually.
What are your character's motivations?: Gaukhar literally has no idea what the hell is going on, especially waking up in an oasis that happens to be in the middle of the Western Desert of Egypt, and having 0 fucking clues about where she is... until maybe asking around and note that shes in Siwa, which is isolated as hell. Likely either trying to find a way back home, accept the fact that she will never get back home, or adapt and try to survive, then later on... stuff. It can go either way from here. As I said, I let my character decide what she wants to do. I think it's very clear from all the posts that are made. Just read them an you'll see.
Theme Song?:
Normal Day probably remembering home

Fighting other people

But I do think this could very well be Gaukhar's main theme.
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?: Character arcs, story development. Empire buildings great, but what about your character? Character development seems key here.

Natural events as well! Where are those? Random parts of the world near the authors' chars namely.

Update, I'm still asking for this Joohan. MORE

Other
Now before you ask how a Kazakh woman relates to me, for one, I am very self-conscious about including myself in things. I tried my best to insert aspects about myself into the character, but I really like to avoid doing so. The character, while yes, may act more like a self-insert overtime, I just don't want to include myself fully. It's pretty hard, especially when I am a characterbuilder, not a self-insert. Also, I guess you can say that I just enjoy playing a different ethnicity than my own and I don't roleplay males well? Yeah. You'll see where we go with my character's story. Blah blah blah, you know this already.

What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?:

Edit: I’m interested in founding a Black Sea country. This would probably have Romania with dubrogea, Moldova, Ukraine, the Sea of Azov including rostovskaya oblast, Krasnodar krai, Georgia, and the Black Sea region of Turkey.

What people or places are you taking inspiration from?:
British - Bicameral Parliamentary Democracy, House of Lords, Cabinet, Governor-general, Lieutenant-Governor and Deputy Minister, Coats of Arms
Romans - Senate, election system (Public Assembly, Tribal Assembly, Centuriate Assembly), military organization, and castes (Patrician, Equities, and Plebeian)
Vikings - Military equipment, longboats, Municipal governments
Image
Egyptians/Persians/Chinese - Bureaucracy
Venice - Doge title replacing senator title
Scottish - Bagpipes, Kilts, Golf
Canada - RCMP police, Federation, "Peace, Order and good governance motto", and similar governance divisions of powers as outlined in section 91 and 92 of the Canadian constitution.
Athens - Provincial governments (Areopagus upper house, Boule lower house, Prytaneis Cabinet), tribes are called clans
Russia - Streltsy municipal police
Image
Ukraine - Kulaks
United States of America- Baseball
Europe- Chess
Why did you chose to land where you did?:
Crimea is centrally located in the Black Sea; potentially allowing for better expansion or trade in the Black Sea area later on. Crimea is also located in a defensible location; potentially allowing for an easier ability to maintain at least that holding later on if wars occur. The culture at the time is close to a heavy dense population; allowing for greater trade possibilities. You were discussing the possibility of established civilizations getting added to the civilizations list, and while it would take time this might be easier on a peninsula than on open land.

What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?:
At first the civilization would probably resemble early Athens politically, with a governing oligarchic council. Economically it would probably primarily focus on animal husbandry, especially Cows and sheep. and focus secondarily on agriculture, hunting, and fishing. Defensive wise, as at the time the people lived in fortified settlements with long houses made from wattle and daub that is probably how it would start as well. As 500 years earlier, around 3500 bc, the yamna’s neighbor the Trypillia culture had cities with populations reaching 20,000-46,000 people they may have a population around that size as well.

What are your character's motivations?:

Writing Sample:
The cool breeze swept into his nostrils and grazed his nether regions into a chill. Awakening in a brown field of sandy soils and thin grasses. Not a building or sign of civilization as far as the eye could see as the intense midday sun beat down on the naked and alone man whom sitting up shook his head trying to recollect his thoughts and take grasp of this situation. Standard mag to his bear feet as the soft dry sandy soil sifted between his toes, the air around him as he drew a deep breath felt oddly cleaner and more crisp than he had remembered.

“Why am I here in this field? What happened and why am I naked?” Christopher analyzed to himself before he decided to walk in the direction of the wind...

He fell in love with Penelope, but it is unrequited and has turned into a difficult friendship. He has come to terms with this more lately. He has dalliances, but does not plan to remarry. His latest dalliance is with Scholar Ishtar. His obsession with creating a great library and research center and improving the Nestos League has taken over his life.

Where in the world are you landing?: Thrace

Autobiography/Biography ( paragraph minimum ): Victor Spear is from the United States in California. He grew up with a mother who was a nurse and a father who was a doctor. He very much led a life that was alternative. From an early age, Victor Spear was steeped in the classics. His father read him the Odyssey as a small child.
His mother wanted him to be a technical person, a scientist or computer programmer. They tried to prepare him for this by making him take science classes at the science museums and teach him computer programming. After a while, they let him stop doing computer programming. They also insisted he take swimming lessons, until he refused to do any more of it. Then they enrolled him in martial arts which he was not very good at.
He was almost always involved in some kind of activity. Most of his friends came from the schools or classes he attended. He was surrounded by people who had many alternative ideas about health and science. Health food hippies and people interested in alternative ideas about how science worked. He started college in a community college where he was interested in anthropology focused on applied anthropology, introducing appropriate technology to the locals. When he learned that it would involve working with huge corporations and manipulating people, he changed his major to philosophy focusing on the Greek and Romans from his childhood..
In college, he found that he enjoyed weightlifting. He also when he had time, spent time gardening in his yard. He would end up keeping up the gardening and weightlifting as two of his hobbies along with reading for the rest of his life.
In college, he got a job part time working in the library. He enjoyed it enough to go to library school where he worked in an academic library part time.
When he finished library school, he went back to California, but found himself in trouble, so he headed east to New York where he worked in a public library. He also took a variety of classes on bookmaking and books. He rose steadily up through the ranks until he became a manager, then he took a Certified Public Librarians certificate and went to work at a college library. At the Age of 45, he became the administrator of a college library.
In New York, he developed a habit of collecting and reading books which he could not afford very well. He began to collect and sell books so he could afford his habit. Eventually, he became good enough at it that he worked part-time for a bookseller and attended Book Expo. He got a certificate in book selling from the American Booksellers Association.
His life was taken up by his jobs and hobbies. In New York, he continued doing gardening, becoming interested in sustainability, enrolling in classes for Master Gardeners where he focused on learning about organic gardening.
Victor Spear is successful because he is obsessive and is doing exactly what he wants to do both as a profession and a personal interest. He focuses his mind into improving that obsessiveness through meditation, speed reading, and memory techniques. He knows many people, but is not close to many of them. It is part of what makes him tick.
