For the Empire
(Sorry for the generic name, I may change it)
Greetings everyone, and welcome to 'For the Empire,' this is a historic, multi-clan roleplay where you can create your character(s) and make yourself known as a part of an empire. These empires, all live in the same area, meaning that War, political disputes, and trading are all during the norm. So, if you read this far, and are interested, then please read on. I hope you will have fun roleplaying! Oh, and don't worry, you don't have to be a history buff to roleplay, just have fun. Also, The time period this roleplay is unclear, for a bunch of different empires will be in this, from a bunch of different time periods, but, there will not be any guns during this time period, only swords and such.
Rules
Before I get into any more detail, let's adress some rules. Some of these rules you probably have seen before, others, maybe not, be sure to read over them.
1. No bullying. Be nice please. Quarrals INSIDE the roleplay can happen, but please do not fight or argue over anything outside of roleplay.
2. NO powerplaying/no mary-sues, gary-stues. Please try to keep everything realistic. Don't make them have blue hair, or such. And please give your character some flaws, it just makes everything more fun and such.
3. Keep it PG-13. For a roleplay taking place in a pre-classical setting, there is sure to be violence. Just don't go too in depth over battles and such, just so that this roleplay doesn't get deleted. I'll give you a warning if you start going to graphic.
4. Please be historical. This is a big one! This is a roleplay set in a historic setting, so please try to be historical. Please don't use magic, or be super-duper powerful.
5. LGBT+ Welcome.
(I hope that wasn't too confusing, ask if you need help understading anything.)
(I know there were some murky waters in that, but I hope I didn't offend anyone.)
The Empires to choose from
(This list can be expanded if you suggest any other empire. I don't know many empires, so feel free to pitch in and give a bit more ideas. Help would be greatly appreciated in this regard.)
The Roman Empire
Ancient Japan (During the Edo period)
Vikings
The Roman Empire
the roman empire is a very prosperous and elegant empire, strong, hardy, and a prominant force in this world. It is one of the biggest empires in the world, and not one to mess with. The Roman empire is highly respected, either for it's leadership, or it's brutal military. This empire has tried to expand numerous times, but have been pushed back time and time again. The Roman empire is the first to speak at meetings, and it's word is highly regarded by each of the other tribes.
The Territory
When you walk through the Territory called Rome, you can see the rolling hills, and the vast city in the distance. Trees mark the left most border, where both Japan and Rome share the forest. Going more in land, you can see the giant marble walls of the roman empire. Walking inside, you will be greeted to a vast market place and many, many faces. Going south, you will see the ocean, where the Roman empire gets there fish.
So, looking to join, eh? Well, here is the hiearchy for the Roman Empire. Take a look and join.
Consils(2)-The Consils will dictate what happens to the Roman empire, what laws get passed, and what new polocies are stated. They fight in battles and are trained as soldiers, now, they work with the senate to discuss the future of Rome. (Sometimes, during the roleplay, there will be an election, where each person can elect someone to be consil. that seems like a neat mechanic I think.)
Senators/government body-These people help alongside the Consils to discuss problems in Rome. They usually don't fight too much, and are more to discuss policies with one another. Senators and Government bodies are usually the first people to go to if you have a problem with farmland are housing. Some can be understanding, and focus on the problems of the people, and others focus on the problems of the Empire as a whole.
Soldiers-One of the most famous and highly looked upon are the soldiers of the Roman empire. They are strong, trained in the art of war, and never back down from a fight. They are the pride of the Roman Empire, and is the bulk of the territory. (We'll go in depth of the different types of jobs inside of the soldier hieararchy in the Rome Page.)
Farmers and Fishers-Farmers arn't praised for their craft, but they do make the Republic function, and they are the back bone of the empire. As much as the soldiers boast about their hard fought victories, farmers are the ones that fed them, and farmers are the ones that held down the empire while they were gone. Farmers may live a thankless job, but it is what makes the world go round.
Citizens-This is your average citizen. With a prosperous empire like this, Citizens can do almost anything. Want to build and open a shop, just ask a senator. Want to trade, you can! As a citizen, anything is possible.
