Hmph.
Wanted to do a role-play from lots of times...
But still, I don't know what's all behind this, and I though that if I would of telling you one way or another, you would've simply tell me I am a noob, that doesn't understand anything.
Also, in shorter lines:
That knight was borned in a low-grade noble family. The family searched for the Elixir Of Life. They walked by boat, and there was a storm. This caused the ship to wreck, and the 16 years-old kid swimmed to the island they planned to go to. There he built a house, and was met by some dwarves. They gave him the Elixir. He was pure good, witch caused the Elixir to regenerate each time when used. That's why he looks young. Then, he was trained lots by mercenaryes and while serving the King. He heard rumors that there is a ''grail'' witch would make him richer. This caused him to leave the King, and be a mercenary soldier.

you know, you could just make a much more down-to-earth character. someone not so... special. Maybe Francis Marcus Apollonius de Calandrie's squire/servant/fan (maybe not) or something? Right now Titanus (Titanus? seriously?) is a bit too much. Tone him down to reasonable, believable levels. Be less Batman essentially.

@Neraus: yea, editing the flintlock part would be all I required from you.
Also nice sketch.
Like Kiryu's drawing as well.
Also, Noob, mikaya is a duchy within merinanth and was trying to separate, but this is such a trivial thing, which doesn't affect the game at all, so I'll let it slide.
I know that I'm allready acting like a complete ass and picking on small things.
and it was such a nice evening too. been to a theater the first time in forever with the Mrs. but that's going offtopic. but if you want to know I saw a historic drama revolving around Sigismund Augustus and his wife. an epic play in it's proportions.
now that we got that out of the way, here's what I think about our special overly enthusiastic special snowflake.
I do not accept this character of husham. but that won't suit anyone and OD would probably be pissed at me again for bullying people, so here's some elaboration on why.
the purpose of the game is not only to complete it's main objective, but also to write up an interesting story, which would be fun and interesting for everyone to read.
The PCs are not some jack of all trades, going one against an entire bleeping people's rebuplic of china and india combined(2 billion+ people. you get the idea, one kills all hollywood bullcrap), they do not possess some super powerful god like abilities or items.
My initial guess that Husham just went TL R on this and posted his character.
From the description of the said character I can conclude that he is some sort of superhuman who can do pretty much everything with ease and also has a sort of elixir of youth, which would probably be ever replenishing or something like that.
And I'm guessing that along the way even more riddiculuos abilities would come up, breaking one of the core rules of roleplay(no powergaming. well we've all been guilty of that at one point, but at least here, no one made they characters all powerful initially in the bloody ooc thread). and it would get out of hand, since our dear newbie has such a hard time listening to advice people give him.
This would be a game breaking thing, and people would drop out, because well, what's the point of playing, if husham would decide to post that he just teleported around till he find the game's objective, killed all the oposition with his pinky and ended up banging the princess.
So, due to the extreme possibillity of game breaking powerplaying I will not accept this titanus character created by Husham.
Read up RP tips thread opened by Mytical. it is there for a reason. so that new would be role players could learn a thing or two, and not be scorned by other participants of the game.
Also, if you trully wish to play, read the masterpost 3-4 times, have it in a separate tab or whatever. I made it so large for a reason. so players can have an understanding about the universe in which the game takes place. I will not accept any batmanesque garbage made up in five minutes.

I had to think of a way to make a connection between Zet and the Brotherhood, and this seemed pretty logical to me. If Mikayans had wanted to separate in this agressive manner, I guess they would have sent a bunch of soldiers to secure the perimeter. Zet just happened to bump into them, and they thought he was a Merinanth agent in disguise or a spy. Figures they would not want to let him go just like that.

As far as i can tell they're on damn good terms so it would likely not be a problem.
Kip, how would one go about lighting the match to fire a firearm? can i just pull it against anything or do i need something special, like a piece of whatever that would be attached to my belt? Would be useful for the rockets as well of course if they're allowed.

Alrighty, alrighty, I was saying that he was only a strong knight. I didn't said he was a SUPERHERO or a SUPERHUMAN. Edited it to be less ''supreme'', because the purpose was only to create a brave knight, witch worked for the king (also trained), and now works as a mercenary soldier. Titanus was simply his family name. Amigorus is his surname. How's about that ?
Also, edited it.
Accept it now, please ?

the answer is still no Husham. this dwarf character of yours also has 0 tie in to the world and it's not acceptable.
Did you even read the masterpost at all?
I think I detailed it pretty well. all the races and such.
All you have to do is carefully read that.
there are two possibilities here. either you husham are just a kid who is in his rebelling stage, and do everything the way YOU want, or you are in fact maybe Corribus in disguise who is doing a social experiment of some sort and trying everyone's patience and the ability to be polite..
I like when people add something to a created world which makes sense, like Kiryu's character having fireworks. since her background states that her character grew up in Kythay, a kingdom which is inspired by chinese, korean, japanese and other "oriental" cultures(except mongols, which serve as basis for the orcs more or less.) and gunpowder contraptions existed there long before the europeans fired their first hand-gonne.
also there is a bit of a bleep up from my side regarding firearms. all it took was an opening of one of my gun encyclopedias. arquebuses do use matchlock system. my bad.
So any character who wishes to own a firearm, it is a matchlock. but, as I said, those are still being developed further, and are supposed to be "rare".
Also to answer Kiryu's question. the matchlock firearms use a match, but it is not like the ones we have today. it is a slow burning fuse, and it's called a slow match. you can use whatever you want to ignite it.
early rocket stuff does exist in Kythay at least, something like a korean hwacha can be produced, as well as your common fireworks(look up ancient chinese ones. google is your best friend)
I'll start the IC thread once Geny makes his character.

So i have an "oldschool" firearm that could have the potential to get a matchlock system if i'm lucky/skilled enough to get one? Once i do i could also use it point blank in the middle of combat?
I'm ok with that

I don't see why not.we'll meet a lot of interesting people along the way, so there could be a possibility.
I don't believe old ones were converted to that system, but hey, it's a fantasy game, and we better don't start looking for brains in the arse.

While i'm not fully sure how the things work, i believe there's like a hole where the powder is and if you get some sparks in there it should work, right? maybe not as elegant or good as a specialized one, but good enough for a surprise bang once a combat i reckon

Name: John the Giant
Race: Half-Giant
Age: 53
Appearance: Black long hair and bushy beard, both lush but hardly taken care of. About 270cm tall. Giant-sized clothes are not easy to come by, so John has several worn-out custom made sets. These include brown leather pants, greenish-brown shirt and soft leather boots. He also has a short-sleeved chainmail, but only wears it when expecting a battle.
Personality: Reserved, but friendly. Overly protective of those he deems to be his comrades (which includes the whole Brotherhood). Likes to spend time with them, but mostly as a spectator, without too much drinking or talking.
Weapons: His main weapon is a human-sized club he carved himself from a fallen oak. Carries a big rectangular wooden shield on his back, which he made as well. On his belt carries a short sword (knife-size for John) which he uses mostly to carve wood, a length of thick rope and an axe (hatchet-sized for him). The latter two are used to prepare and set snares.
Skills: John is a man of the forest. He knows how to handle wood, use herbs for both healing and food, follow tracks (although smaller animals give him trouble), make traps etc. He is even relatively stealthy for his size.
Background: John the Giant was born to a human woman in a small village in the forests of Merinath. It is unknown what kind of relationship did that woman have with a giant, but he was never seen or heard from since then. Neither was he present when the woman died giving birth to their son. The villagers decided to raise her child together. Some did it out of sympathy to the baby, some out of respect to his mother, but mostly they all did it because they afraid that one day the boy's father will come back and wreck vengeance upon them should they let his child die. They named the boy John, never bothering with a last name for the orphan. And while John never really suffered, there was no love and affection in his life either. He spent most of his time alone, usually walking around the forest. When he reached the age of 13 he was as big and strong as any adult in the village and left to seek his fortune elsewhere. His strength provided him a variety of job opportunities, ranging from builder to escort to hired muscle, all of which he took without any regrets. He traveled the land learning something new everywhere he went. He soon realized that he was more intelligent than most people. He did not, however, know how to use it to his advantage, as the only thing he could not learn was proper social interaction. The fact that he soon towered above anyone he talked to did not help matters either. So, he continued his journey, amassing knowledge along the way. He learned to provide for himself in the forest and to carve weapons and other items out of wood. At some point in time he came upon the Brotherhood of the Tattered Banner. He joined at first for the same reason he took any other job: to make some money and move on. However, a few years after he joined the Brotherhood was contracted to quell the Mikayan rebellion. John fought along side others in that brutal war, and despite himself began to feel a genuine bond forming with his comrades. What was even more surprising for him was the fact that they regarded him as any other member of the Brotherhood. When the war was over, John realized that what remained of the Brotherhood was the closest thing to a family he ever had and decided to stay there for good.

Took me a little bit but I finally came up with a character.
Name: Isabella Merinnook
Race:Merinanthan Human.
Age: 48
Appearance: Around 176 cm tall, has dark blue eyes, and shoulder length brown hair that is mixed heavily with gray. Her face is starting to wrinkle in some small areas. Wears a plate breastplate over white robes as well as plate gauntlets, greaves and boots. She wears an old beaten copper ring on her right index finger. Her robe has a hood which she puts up in battle along with an iron version of a plague doctors mask stuffed with aromatic herbs to mask the stench of death. She has two satchels on opposite sides one for poisons the other for medicine and medical tools.
Personality: Often appears cold and distant especially to strangers. She feels as though the world has cheated her and will often make bitter quips about it especially in bad situations. Despite the relative emotionlessness and bitterness she shows to others she does care about the brotherhood and takes their losses often a little hard. She dislikes unnecessary cruelty but will still use pragmatic tactics to win when necessary. She will on occasion play games with others though is usually lost in her own thoughts or journal. She does have a mischievous streak and will occasionally play jokes on others.
Weapons: A standard unsentimental steel mace. She also carries a dirk and hand crossbow both of which she uses to deliver the poisons she carries.
Skills: She is talented in healing arts which she has been taught since she was young. She also is knowledgeable in alchemy using her potions to both aid in healing and poison enemies. Her fighting skills are decent but nothing spectacular. She knows and actively documents the names, appearances and smells of many plants, herbs and other ingredients with medicinal or poisonous properties as well as their uses.
Background: She was raised and trained by her parents both of whom were priests of Manara who traveled Merinanth offering aid to those who could not afford it. She ended up mirroring her parents occupation until she fell in love with a shoemaker whom she married and had three children with. All children perished; however, one died in infancy, another died of disease while twelve,and the third was killed by bandits at eighteen. Finally her husband died after being stabbed by an angry nobleman. She began traveling again to get away from the place where she had experienced so much misery. Eventually she joined the brotherhood hoping that in the company of others she could bury her grief.
Is their anything I could or should do better?

@Geny: that is quite fine, the skills tab is supposed to be a sort of "secondary skill" description.
Gryphs, can you elaborate on how your character's mask looks like? it is just to make a clearer picture of it, because when I read "mask stuffed with aromatic herbs", I personally think about a beaked plague doctor's mask.

Dragomir is the current leader.
The company has horse pulled wagons to haul majority of their supplies. They also own several pack mules, and mounts for some, but most of the remaining company mans the wagons or goes on foot.

I made the last character. Please let me own it, as now I rode the background, and this is only an adventuring knight. Will you give me ONE chance ?
Name:Johnas the Knight
Race:Human
Age:20
Appearance:1,80 meters height, has knight equipment while on missions, blonde hair, blue eyes, also has a little beard.
Personality:Likes to drink, doesn't like the evil knights, and also, can keep a secret very well.
Weapons:sword, and shield.
Skills:Good-Trained Knight, usually can cut good using his double blade.
Background:Working for the kings from the north for 10 years, he began to master the sword from a very little age. His skills expanded to crossbows and ballistas, but he still uses more the swords. After learning those skills, our adventuring hero began to look for a place to use them. The first place he noticed was a mercenary camp. The leader was an older swordsman, so he decided that, like him, in earlier ages, Johnas must proof he can master those skills. He finished this, and always much more tests given to him, and he always passed. Also, he created a friendship between him and the other warriors living there. But, there is much more. He was the white-knight there, but there were bandits that ambushed the village, so the battle continues. Later, he decided that he must go find other villages that must be defended, so he left. He was going to another villages, but he stopped to a tavern, to take a drink, and take a horse too. You met him and he telled you more. He was borned as a normal child, but he had a wish from earlyer ages:to become a knight. He then trained, but all he was doing was ''playing'' with a stick. He said that achieving such a title deserves more train that he expected, so he used to teach little children from some villages how to defend, and resist the attack of the bandits. Much people consider him a hero, but he always said that he is just a loyal member of King's army. That is what he trully is.
Also, the Free Company made an aqisition (Johnas got caughed, and kidnaped by rogues, and taken there), to take Johnas from the Rogues' Hands, in exchange for 500 gold, and Johnas had to work for them little (2 years) to pay. Also, they decided to pay Johnas, because they admired his skills.
