A general from Aboronian Standing Army that switches side.
(The Count's army is the Standing Army, is it not?)
I just made that up on the spot. A standing army is basically the home-based troops, I believe. The way I intend them to function is basically to keep Aboron in submission. Then there's the Aboron Family Home Guard, which essentially acts as the Nyord Sardi-stationed elite guard which protects nobility and the royal family.
What you're saying could work for a character but it might mean a lot of creativity on your part since anything along the line of the inner city or the culture of Aboron I am mostly holding on to until I need to divulge it. If what you create works, I might incorporate it.
Oh and I got a question about the environment and weather in Aboron, what climate is it? (Scandinavia-yish, Mediterranean etc.)
Temperate in the lowlands, the area south of the mountains and Nyord Sardi. As you travel towards the capital, it becomes steadily more arid as you near the higher elevations (sparse brush and vegetation, the grass is a bit browned, lots of loose rock, and so on).
Well, I'm getting tired of waiting on other people to join in here, so the projected date to start is this coming Sunday evening (EST). Prepare for the Battle of Nyord Sardi.
Thanks, I was going for a much darker backstory than the one I did in KotBB.
Turned out quite well, gonna need to refine it over the next week or so though.
And also! Posted a pic of the chain I was imagining in my character bio, it finally has a look to it!

Not insane, more along the lines of disturbed.
Several years being tortured would do that to you, you're not gonna waltz out of the dungeon and have a tea party with the neighbour's kids.
Gotta read your too, haven't yet.
Shit man, that's pretty good, like the battle sequence, don't think anyone else has included one :D.

It's perfectly fine if it works and it makes sense for the story and interaction with other characters.
And yes, real work. The kind that pays me to deal with often ill-tempered customers
Zhar: I read over your character's bio. It was entertaining, though I probably would have used more synonyms. Regardless, good work. It will go well with some things in the future. You have clear motives.
Yeah, as I said that was a pretty basic character bio, was planning on revising it to either add in more elements, or simply make the writing itself better.
Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear it'll jive well :D.

5) You will be surrounded by many thousands of Aboronian lower-class workers.
6) You will be fighting mostly the Aboronian Home Guard, the elite of the Aboronian military.
7) Think of your character, of its needs and desires, of how it would respond to different situations, of how physical attributes (looks, gear, etc.) would be relevant in any given environment.
So I have been reading the OOC discussion and the character creation thread for DoA. I realize that you said that all the spots were full, but seeing how about half the people that signed up actually posted characters I was wondering if there is a possibilty that I could still join in on the RP and make a character too. If not that's cool and I'll still probably follow the RP, but it doesn't hurt to ask
Certainly. I was anticipating a few to lose interest before this point so I see no problem with it. Just make sure you've read over all the important points in this thread and elsewhere and you should be good to go. If you don't have your character ready already, please try to have it done by Friday a little after lunchtime EST, as that will be the last time I can review them before the start of the RP (I'm going camping for the weekend until late Sunday, when the RP will start).
I also have a couple of questions about the Count's rule over the lands and all that.
Does he only kill the Asrai or humans too? I feel that he does kill both, but I just want to be sure for the back story that I have planned out, which can change.
Also, I just want to make sure that no one else was planning a similar back story.
Basically, I was planing for my character to work under the Count and for whatever reasons he decides to leave and join the rebellion against him. After his daring escape, because the Count wouldn't let him go/escape without a fight.
But I will have my character up by then. Either once I get to a real computer or tomorrow, since I'm off, I'll be able to sit down and brain storm.

Oh, certainly. He's maddened and homicidal. You can see that from most of the character bios so far

I think Zhar or someone was planning on making a character that formerly worked as a general in the Aboronian Standing Army, if you consider that similar. Also, I am going to assume that you do not mean that this character would have dueled the Count, correct?

Okie dokie. Good luck
OP UPDATED

I have gone and updated the Unemasulti with some theory that some of you may find interesting to think about and which may subsequently appear along the story line. You can take a reading of it [URL="http://daysofamyorne.host56.com/show_art.php?artid=12"]here[/URL'].
And RPM v1.5 will be done sometime soon. I'm adding more user options, some new data viewing functionality, and improving user authentication.
Ok then, I guess I'll have him decide his killing everyon is wrong and all that.
No, here would not have dueled the Count. The Count surely would have killed him. More like, throw him into the dungeon and set his execution for a later date. Maybe 'fight' wasn't the best word of choice.
It came down to making him a guard, which is too much like zhar's or a helper in his castle/fortress, such as a servent/cook/gardener or the like. I just wouldn't want to steal any of zhar's thunder by making him part of the Count's amry, even if he's just a guard
I'll read over it once I get home after my class. Before I go: RPM v1.5 is now up- new members can register themselves via the link on the right. A new member list page has been added, also a link on the right. If anyone has trouble with the image captcha tell me and I'll see if I can make it better. I kind of went nuts with randomization.
Are we talking an ex-general of the Aboronian Standing Army or an ex-general of the Aboronian Revolutionary Movement?

Anyways, mah character is up!

Just so that everyone can get mentally ready for the opening scene, here are some specifics:
1) We will be in the Glarryl Valley (see map section).
2) See this post for climate details.
3) Be sure to review the volume synopsis here.
4) It will be nearing dusk.
5) You will be surrounded by many thousands of Aboronian lower-class workers.
6) You will be fighting mostly the Aboronian Home Guard, the elite of the Aboronian military.
7) Think of your character, of its needs and desires, of how it would respond to different situations, of how physical attributes (looks, gear, etc.) would be relevant in any given environment.
8) Be creative but realistic.
