Welcome to the sign-up thread for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms roleplay. The roleplay will be (mostly) realistic and semi-historical, which means no ridiculous Dynasty Warrior-scale massacres. Here are the guidelines for choosing a character and remember I will be confirming whether you get an officer or not:

-Created characters aren't allowed until all of the major historic officers are chosen. Created characters may be used after the roleplay begins! They may not have any family relations to historical officers (except being wives or husbands), nor have any important job history. These rules only apply with the first time you sign-up as him or her.
-You may choose up to two officers for now. Three characters will be available once we're well into the roleplay!
-You cannot claim a character who is already dead by 190AD.
-You cannot claim a character who isn't born yet by 190AD.
-You cannot claim Liu Xie, otherwise known as the Emperor Xian, as a character. I will roleplay as him if necessary.
-You may want to consider choosing officers that would be a part of one of the Three Kingdoms or a major power (e.g. Yuan Shao, Ma Chao), as independent forces will most likely become less important later on. More obscure forces (Zhang Lu, Bao Xin, Liu Zhang, etc.) will most likely be rendered moot much later into the roleplay. (Plus the famous officers are more fun to play as!)
-Keep in mind not all scenarios are going to include the basic trinity of a Sun clan leader, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, so it is possible to switch to another character once a scenario ends. For example, the battle of Guandu, Changsha, etc.
-You are able to kill other officers in this roleplay. However, it is only under a total upper hand that you may kill someone else. PM me to confirm that you are in the right condition before executing someone.

More general rules -

-When battling, whether you're winning or losing, please keep casualties to your army reasonable from the events in the skirmish.
-Lieutenants may be named (at a reasonable number) but in no case may they become actual characters, with personalities and dialogue.

To choose a character, follow this format:

Code:
 
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Any nicknames:[/b] (for reference just in case he/she is called anything else; the nicknames must have relevance to history/novel, for example: Man of the Magnificent Beard, for Guan Yu, which he was called by the emperor in the RotK; names from the games are fine too)
[b]Alleigance:[/b] Dong Zhuo/Coalition ; [their lord, keep it to who they were serving at this time, so for Huang Gai this would be Sun Jian]
[b]Weapon:[/b] ([i]allowed[/i] up to two, one heavy and one light, light being something such as a bow or pair of daggers... it'd be nice if people with known weapons such as Guan Yu keep that it)
[b]Personality:[/b] (crucial to a good character. describe what your character is like considering his friends, allies, any personality traits of habits)

Spoiler: click to toggle


Officers taken:
(Guandong) Coalition:
Yuan Shao - Xaldin
Xun Yu - smily man
Yuan Shu - Seraphil
Sun Jian - Keiki
Cao Cao - Lord_Cao_Cao
Lady Bian - Shiki
Sima Yi - Xaldin
Liu Bei - Bamboo
Pang Tong - Clown
Ma Teng - DarkDante
Hei Zheng - Lord_Cao_Cao

Dong Zhuo faction:
Dong Zhuo - Seraphil
Guo Si - KauSu
Li Jue - Fa Zheng
Lu Bu - Sanada Yukimasa
Hua Xiong - Bamboo - character is available to be signed up for
Zhang Liao - KauSu
Wang Yun - Bamboo
Huangfu Song - Xiuzhao
Diao Chan - Celestial
Lu Xu - Sanada Yukimasa
Li Zhie - Fa Zheng

Here are some alternative names that some characters might be called within the roleplay; it'll include style names, nicknames (such as the Little Conquerer for Sun Ce), and mentioned titles if applicable if applicable, respectively. For the most part, characters so far have been called by their natural names, so don't fret if you can't memoralize all of these -

Unfortunatly i do not know much about the Romance of the three kingdoms (i have the book but i havent cracked into it yet and the game confuses me (ipod)) so if you could give me a hand filling out the blanks for me that would be GREAT.

Alright well lets begin a new RP and hope to [insert religous figure here] that this survives the five page curse. (nothing makes past five pages lately at least)

Sorry to not be so clear. Your whole character doesn't have to be bsaed off of the RotK novel. His alleigance would most likely be to the Coalition, and I'll let you choose his lord be between Liu Bei and Sun Jian.

If you want to fight soldier upon soldier with a staff, you're welcome to. I'd recommend something sharper, though. ;)

The personality can be based on something but doesn't have to be. If you want to make him the skilled, carefree comedian from Dynasty Warriors that's completely okay, but it's your choice of how you want to characterize him.

Would you want him to be an adult for the roleplay? My sources (kongming.net being one of the most reliable) agree that he was born somewhere around 179AD, and the RP will start at 190AD, making him somewhere around 11 years old. So at minimum he'd have to be 18, but if I were roleplaying Pang Tong I would rather have him as an adult. Your choice.

Sure, thank you.

I'll update the character list with Pang Tong once Clown confirms the details.

Here's the current map of the battlefield. The officers under the You may want to consider choosing banner in the first post should start off specific locations before the battle(s) begins. I tried to respect geography, locations, and the like but still took some liberties (placing of Hulao Pass, the various mountains and landforms) to allow for some tactical decisions to be made by the faction commanders.

Master of the War Trident

Name: Dong Zhuo
Allegiance: Dong Zhuo
Weapon: Seven-Star Sword
Personality: Fat, arrogant, gluttonous, fat, commanding, fat, perverted, yet jolly about life(mainly his, but yeah.) Treats those he deems useless or an enemy like dirt, but actually rewards those who serve him as he deems fit... even if they don't want it. Loves women, especially his concubines and Diao Chan.

On good terms with Diao Chan, Hua Xiong, Lu Bu, Li Jue, and most other Dong Zhuo-side people. Everyone in the Coalition can go die in a fire, though.

Name: Yuan Shu
Allegiance: Coalition
Weapon: Spear
Personality: Calculating, cunning, and sees himself as his number one priority. However, he treats his subordinates well, in particular Ji Ling, Sun Jian and Zhang Xun. Is quick to judge others on their shortcomings, but has an inflated sense of self-worth. However, it is a relatively justified opinion due to his own abilities as a general and leader. Is loyal to the Han... as long as it still deserves his loyalty. Has a special fondness for his son and daughter.

On good terms with Sun Jian and the rest of Wu. Flip-flops between good and bad terms with his half-brother Yuan Shao. Doesn't like Liu Bei and Shu. Neutral towards Cao Cao and Wei. Hates Dong Zhuo and his guys.

General
[ *  *  *  * ]
Name: Yuan Shao
Allegiance: Yuan Shao...I mean the Coalition.
Weapon: Sword of Honor
Personality: An arrogant braggart and a noble that thinks extremely highly of himself(and makes sure everyone within a 500 mile radius knows it), even so far as to speak of his fellow coalitionist as commoners, peasants, knave, insignificant, ruffians, and other things along that line. Though he treats his own subordinates with a little respect...assuming they grovel to him enough times.

On good terms with Zhang He and the others members of the Yuan Shao army and "thinks" he's on good terms with Cao Cao but he clearly doesn't like him at all. Good with Liu Bei, neutral with Wu, flip-flops with Yuan Shu, and bad with Gongsun Zan and Dong Zhuo.

I chose him because I don't plan on participating much so I'm pretty much just gonna have him order people around and preach how noble he is for majority of the campaign.

Shiki, you're welcome to sign up at any time. Diao Chan added as well.

@KauSu - yeah, it's completely fine to play as both. :mellow:

We'll only need a few more characters on each side and we should be good. I'm not a fan of using troop numbers in roleplays as I feel it disrupts the flow, but any objections I'll consider.

well i looked up some people here which i found really helpfull and i took a liking to Lady Bian who later baceme Cao Cao's wife. During the current battle however she is only a concubine of Cao Cao's.

Name: Dowager Bian (Lady Bian)
Any nicknames: Bianish, Lady Bian .
Alleigance: Coalition/Cao Cao
Weapon: Traditional Chinese fan
Personality: Lady Bian is a calm women who speaks softly and is incredibly beautiful. Being the wife of Cao Cao she is also very powerful. She excels is the area of strategy but lacks any real combat training. During battles she usually stays in the main camp or accompanies Cao Cao, if she is ever required to travel alone she always has bodyguards present. She is a women of average height and has a very slim figure. She usually wears a Kamino in shades of blue with various patterns on it. It is a shoulder less dress and trails behind her on the floor. She has waterfall sleeves but the don’t cover her hands. She is extremely loyal to Cao Cao and her family and will faithfully follow him no matter where it may lead them. Prior to her time with Cao Cao she was a courtesan and came from a poor family, she is not wed to Cao Cao until his eldest son dies and he divorced his wife at the time.

She gets along with and likes everyone she needs to and dislikes her husbands enemies.

More info her if i didn't explain her very well here

she seemed pretty importent and there is no one from wei so... :mellow:

More bad-ass warriors and less ladies, I say!
Where's Cao Cao!? The Xiahous? And even guys like Gongsun Zan, Yue. And Yu She! Significant people!

Ninja edit: Why the 18 years old thing? People in ancient China joined armies and so on at 15, and some took command even younger! I vote change the age setting to 15!

Everyone has been added. ^_^ Everyone recommended for the Coalition is taken, so I may need to roleplay as Lu Bu and Hua Xiong if no one else takes them up.

@KauSu - you're right, I didn't think about that before. Changed, and thank you.

Now, I think I need to ask everyone: How would you like to start off in the RP? Gathered in one area for character interaction and more characterization? Or immediately starting battle, with everyone to their respective bases and you may all work out plans in PMs or in this thread?

Added.

Name: Wang Yun
Any nicknames: Zishi
Alleigance: Dong Zhuo (in name) ; Han
Weapon: An ornate, bejeweled sword as the primary weapon. Carries a light bow and quiver.
Personality: Beneath his warm, frail exterior, he is unbelievably callous and paranoid. It is only because of Dong Zhuo's high-and-mighty position in the imperial court that Wang Yun has kept the insensitive side of him down under. He is genuinely afraid of the tyrant when in his presence but actively plots against him outside of court in steeled secret.

On the plus side, Wang Yun is a hardened veteran of war afraid of no man (except Dong Zhuo), and hates all evils and injustices. He is willing to work with any anti-Dong officers, has a close relationship with his adoptive daughter Diao Chan, despises any associates of Dong, and is currently trying to build a relationship with Lu Bu. Admires Huangfu Song for his past military achievements and is glad to share a mutual hate for Dong Zhuo with such a noble character.

Is currently Minister over the Masses, one of the Three Excellencies, three of the the highest civil positions of the dynastic hierarchy.

Expect me to tak up a Coalition officer soon as well.
