ASTOR
1655676505355.png

(I do not own this image)

PROFILE
Name: Astor (Tor) Asar

Age: 25

Height: ~180 cm | 5 ft 11 in

Weight: ~145 lb | ~66 kg


Pronouns: He/Him

Physical Description: Astor has an angular face and dark brown hair which, when exposed to light, can shimmer with a golden hue. Similarly, he has bright, golden-brown irises and golden-bronze skin. Astor's physique is tall, slim, and fit. He has a few tattoos in Japanese, Chinese, and Latin, along with a few abstract designs.

Personality: My character is, in some ways, an optimist, but he lacks naïvety and instead views the world with a somewhat dour and bleak lens. In other words, Astor believes in humanity and its capability to do good but recognizes, understands, and has experienced the dark as well. So, Astor lives as he sees fit; he strives to personify his values — honour, courage, selflessness, modesty/humility, honesty, kindness, and happiness, among others. However, Astor isn't one to let his values get in the way of his survival: he's not going to give kindness to those he deems undeserving, and if someone comes at him with the intent to kill or maim, Astor will — depending on the situation — act in kind and disregard honour in favour of survival. A bit more about his personality is that he's easy-going, quiet, individualistic, emotional, and, at times, irritable and out-going.

CREDENTIALS
Level of Education: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Environmental Science with minors in Japanese and astronomy. Doctoral student in Environmental Engineering.

Prior Profession: Astor was a PhD student doing an internship outside of his schooling.

Useful Skills:

  • Conlanging (language construction), archery, gardening/farming, astronomy, mathematics, martial arts, sailing, fishing, and more.

ORIGINS
National Origin: Astor is an American citizen and his ethnicity is Egyptian/Middle Eastern, Italian, Greek, French, and English, take of that what you will.

What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past: Astor was completing his Doctoral homework and ended up asleep, face first on his desk, pencil in hand, drooling all over his notes.

Where in the world are you landing: Southern Egypt, west of the Nile and near Thebes before it was a city.


AUTOBIOGRAPHY/BIOGRAPHY
What are your intentions for this RP: My intentions for this RP are to have fun, advance my character, create something lasting civilization-wise, and gain new knowledge of the ancient world.

What do you think your Author will seek to accomplish: Astor will attempt to influence the world for the better. He'll most likely try to form some sort of kingdom and promote the ideas of individual cultivation (not Wuxia or Xianxia cultivation), education, environmental stability and co-inhabitance, freedom (financial, personal, etc.), community, martial prowess, philosophy, art, science, technology, self-advocacy, and more.

What people or places are you taking inspiration from: The places my character will take inspiration from are Greece, Persia, Japan, China, France, and, of course, Egypt, among other places. People-wise, you can expect influence from just about anyone from any time period.

Why did you choose to land where you did: Ancient Egypt's architecture, fashion, history, culture, geography, socio-political environment(s), etc. always fascinated me, and I've learned about the area before. However, I'm no expert on Ancient Egypt, so I hope the RP can help further my knowledge.

If you seek to establish a culture or civilization, what vibe should we get: The vibe you should get from whatever culture or civilization Astor influences or creates, is one of dignity, humility, education, exploration, freedom, conservation, and martial traditions (think tree-hugging-warrior-scholars).

What are your character's motivations: My character's main motivation is to find happiness; he's gone through some major personal problems and has come out of them stronger, carefree, and seeking to find his place in life. With his newfound immortality, Astor will feel obligated to work toward the betterment of humanity and he'll want to advance himself in any way he can.

What do you want to see in this roleplay; what would make it better: Expansion upon immortality, its effects, and neurological alterations — how will the characters be able to retain information, stay sane (if applicable), and deal with past psychological disorders.

Uh... Anything you want to say about it? lol Mitheral Mitheral
 
1655686975308.png
(Not my picture, obviously. lol)​


Name: Eddy "Ed" Pak
Age: 21
Height: Average
Weight: Lean

Prior Profession: Professional gamer
Level of Education - Formal or Informal: Eddy is a high school dropout, sadly. Therefore, he had no education.
Physique: Eddy's physique is somewhat lean but not too skinny.
Useful Skills: Considering that Eddy had no sense of educational values and the means of survival skills, he had none.

National Origin: Hong Konger
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Playing video games for hours.
Description of Personality: Observant, stoic, callous, shy
Where in the world are you landing?: Zalantun, Inner Mongolia, China

Bio: Eddy Pak was born and raised in Hong Kong on December 25, 2001. His family came from a Yue (Cantonese) background. Despite him being a "Christmas baby", he was often met with a bad omen/luck and the cause of it remains uncertain to this day. Because he would often get bullied throughout his school years before finally dropping out of high school and he had an unhealthy relationship with his family, Eddy resorted to becoming a professional gamer one day to escape those hardships. However, it has since gotten worse, but for the better. He ended up playing video games for countless hours in his rented apartment while avoiding paying the rent as well as not going outside for a while.

Now at the age of 21, Eddy was in the middle of playing an online game on his computer called Yangshao Quest, where players could play as people living in Neolithic China and it was a simulation/roleplaying game. As usual, he played it for countless hours. Until finally, he fell asleep from drowsiness and his Neolithic quest began...

What are your intentions for this RP; what do you think your Author will seek to accomplish?: It's uncertain as of now.
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Oda Nobunaga, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, and Sejong the Great, probably.
Why did you chose to land where you did?: I'm just fascinated with Chinese culture and history in general. However, the region is roughly outside of the Chinese culture's sphere of influence.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and its culture, if you seek to establish one?: It's uncertain as of now.
What are your character's motivations?: To redeem himself through the value of hardship, change, and valor.

Note: Yes, I got rid of the physical description section because I couldn't think of anything based on the image that was being provided above. It's not that I'm doing it in a lazy way. lol

Name: Asaf D'Souza
Age: 22
Height and Weight: 183cms/79kgs
Physical Description: Asaf's of above average height, with a well-built athletic frame. He has a small birthmark under the chin and his jet-black curls hug the length of his cheekbones.


Prior Profession: Research Associate (Universität Bremen)
Level of Education - Formal or Informal: MA in Comparative Literature, with a minor in International Relations
Physique: Asaf is fit enough for your average male in his 20s. Although, he has seen a significant dip since his soccer playing days. He's taken an interest in rock climbing while at the campus in Bremen; it remains to be seen whether this too might be something of a phase.
Useful Skills: Middling artistic talent, decent memory.

National Origin: Irish (Konkani/Iranian)
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: catching an uber back from a friend's place.
Description of Personality: Asaf comes off as a friendly albeit slightly introverted person, meaning that while he's unlikely to strike up a conversation with a stranger, he'll not shy away from social situations.
Where in the world are you landing?: Indus Valley, modern-day Pakistan.

Autobiography/Biography: Asaf was born in Dublin to an Indian father and Persian mother. His dad was a doctor and worked at a public hospital nearby, while his mother who used to be a teacher, left work to take care of the children; Asaf and his two sisters. His parents had never sought to push him into choosing any particular career, so when Asaf graduated high school, he applied to Trinity College, to study literature. Here, he took history, language and politics as optional electives, fascinated by his own roots, and the almost primordial cultures to which he belonged.

What are your intentions for this RP; what do you think your Author will seek to accomplish?: Like all of us put in a situation like this, I think his initial goal will be to survive. In time though, I think Asaf might be interested in changing this world for the better.
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Khosrow I, Ashoka, Menander, The Harappan Civilisation, Tamilakam etc.
Why did you chose to land where you did?: Well, its a mystery isn't it? The IVC, one of earliest and greatest of world civilisations just up an vanishes by 1400BC.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and its culture, if you seek to establish one?: Pre-Aryan Indian, Centralized, Bureaucratic & Pluralistic.
What are your character's motivations?: I would suppose self aggrandizement at first, but would hope that at some point a sense of responsibility sets in. It all really depends on how the RP progresses.
Theme Song?: link!

Name: Jesiah Adams Norton
Age: 66
Height and Weight: 6'ft tall, 184lbs
Physical Description: A tall man of English heritage, Jesiah would best be described as a Caucasian, skin light. His hair is a premature grey, now trending towards a white hair with age, and cut short but neatly about his face, over a trimmed full beard of slightly darker character. His eyes are a deep hazel brown.

Prior Profession: Environmental Engineer, specialization in Geography.
Level of Education: Formal. Jesiah got a Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering (Urban Planning and Geography), Bachelor's Degree in Material Engineering (Ferrous Metallurgy) with a Minor in Sustainability Engineering.
Physique: Very broad through the shoulders - built like a lifter and dancer, not a runner, though not obviously deficient in legs. Thick neck and large lateral musculature, somewhat diminished by a beer belly come of age and inactivity.
Useful Skills:
1. Metallurgical and Environmental Engineering
2. Sustainability Engineering (although amateurly)
3. Engineering History (Medieval and Antiquity)
4. Medieval Smithing and Smelting; Woodworking
5. Urban Planning

//

National Origin:
United States of America; American with English ancestry
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Drinking alcohol with his friends at a most exclusive country club in Colorado called Vail Resorts Signature Clubs which is a collection of eight clubs in the Vail and Beaver Creek mountains of Colorado.
Description of Personality: Sociable, calculating, passionate, honest, centrist, self-aware, slightly megalomaniacal.
Where in the world are you landing?: The Ore Mountains, located within the Czech-German Border

//

Autobiography/Biography:
Jesiah Norton comes from an infamous Norton family, descended from Joshua Abrahams Norton who proclaimed himself as Emperor Norton, a resident of San Francisco, California, who in 1859 proclaimed himself "Norton I., Emperor of the United States" and “Protector of Mexico” by the time the French invaded Mexico in 1863.

While Jesiah Norton acknowledges his family’s bizarre past as far as before the American Civil War era, he pretty much lived a normal life. He didn’t struggle with anything in his life as he belonged to the upper-class family. How privileged. He then took up Environmental Engineering, with specialization in Geography and minors in Sustainability Engineering and graduated at the University of San Francisco. He then moved to Colorado due to the fact that jobs are aligned with his degree. He also took up a master’s degree in the University of Denver. He found someone and got four children (3 girls, 1 guy). He spent his life working in Colorado, creating connections with the upper echelons of the United States due to his career. That’s pretty much it. By the time he got into the 60’s, he somewhat retired and binged into drinking with his colleagues who have also retired. He’s living that sugar daddy type of thing until..

//

What are your intentions for this RP; what do you think your Author will seek to accomplish?:
Having a great time to be part of this roleplay despite being busy in life. When it comes to author, just progress progress progress. Guide humanity to a better place.
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Valkorion from Star Wars: The Old Republic, Atilla the Hun, Octavian, Alexander the Great, amalgamation of the Roman Empire (IRL) and the Eternal Empire (Star Wars: The Old Republic)
Why did you chose to land where you did?: Rule the Germanic tribes in Germania, conquer Europe, go south to Greece or.. to Asia? Who knows.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and its culture, if you seek to establish one?: Authoritarian humanocentric progress-orientated theocracy.
What are your character's motivations?: Broadly, develop a method of returning to the future (because that is the most practical thing to do for an author in my opinion). If impossible, develop the best life for himself as possible, and perhaps a bit of guiding humanity to a brighter future along the way.
Theme Song?: His theme song
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?: A bit concerned at the timescale (I assume this is a nation-building roleplay that is done by a single person from the future which is unique) as there were no details about it. There isn't really any room for characterization or depth of slow development at the pace of five years to a page, and I would rather focus in on those bits, as I think they will be most interesting.​

    Name: Devin Murphy
    Age: 32
    DOB: May 24th, 1990
    Gender: Trans Masc
    Height and Weight: 5’3”/135lbs

    Physique: Small and scrawny. Stronger than he looks, in that he can drag a 50 pound hay bale around, but he will be huffing and puffing about it after more than a minute or so.

    Physical Description: Small, slight, and covered in freckles, Devin's deceptively cute. He has a little button nose, big blue eyes, and shoulder length brown hair, as well as a little scruff of beard.

    National Origin: American

Gu Wan

Age: 21

Height and Weight: 5'6 | 133 lbs

Physical Description: An average Asian woman for her age, she has long back-length black hair, slender dark eyes, shapely eyebrows, a willowy neck, and average-sized ears. A particularly notable feature is her gentle gaze.


Prior Profession: College Student

Level of Education - Formal or Informal: Formal. Gu Wan graduated from high school earlier than most of her peers and enrolled directly in college as a pre-med major.

Physique: Quite athletic. Not on the level of a sports athlete but she can decently hold her hold in any measure of physical activity.

Useful Skills: Basic First Aid, Decent Base of Medical Knowledge, Basic Agriculture, Acupuncture, Communication skills.

National Origin: China.

What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Reviewing her detailed lecture notes for class tomorrow.

Description of Personality: Gu Wan is someone that considers herself to be intelligent, after all the smartest person in the room isn’t always the loudest. She has the ability to take everything in, seeing that others missed, like subtle patterns. Rather than being rigid and worrying about something that's out of her control, Gu Wan remains mentally flexible and can easily adjust to an abrupt change or disturbance, no matter what gets thrown her way. She does things with a purpose, she doesn't just ask a bunch of questions for the sake of asking questions. She does so in order to gain insight that can help her better understand what she's doing, thinking, feeling, and anticipating. By asking the right questions, drawing the right pictures, and saying the right words means she'll never regret not asking someone that one question that's been on the tip of her tongue or finding herself regretting not being more observant, she adapts well to new or difficult situations and she's able to think creatively.

Where in the world are you landing?: Bangkok, Thailand.

Autobiography/Biography: Gu Wan, despite being a mostly average girl with two parents and an older sister was every parent's dream and every child's nightmare. After all, who liked constantly being compared to someone you could never match up to? But who knew such a lifestyle could be exhausting? Studying and studying. For the greater part of her childhood, it was all she knew. She had few friends and mostly never had time for them. So it wasn't surprising they gradually drifted apart. It was graduating early from high school that put the final nail in the coffin for friendships. No one could or wanted to keep up with a girl who they would probably never see again in their lifetime.

It was a bittersweet thing really. But Gu Wan doesn't regret it in the slightest.

What are your intentions for this RP; what do you think your Author will seek to accomplish?: My intention is just to have fun while Gu Wan wants to establish a legacy and ever-lasting dynasty.

What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Wu Zetian & Aegon The Conqueror.

Why did you choose to land where you did?: Because Thailand is beautiful and it has many natural resources!

What vibe should we get from your civilization and its culture, if you seek to establish one?: A scholarly yet beautiful civilization. Its culture would be very based around knowledge.

What are your character's motivations?: Ancient Chinese legends and stories, Gu Wan has always been interested in the past of her homeland.

Theme Song?: Link here!

What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?: Cultural effects and impacts from our little time travelers?

Name: Lucas 'Luke' Blake

Age: 24
Height and Weight: 5' 11" & 152 lbs
Physical Description: Lucas is a dark-skinned man, of above slightly above-average heights but a thin, almost lanky frame that puts him on the lighter end. He has dark, brown eyes, almost black, and thick, equally dark locks. He wears a ponytail of just a few inches and keeps his facial hair to a whispy trim. His skin has a few pockmarks of childhood trips and tumbles but he's otherwise quite unremarkable.


Prior Profession: College Student
Level of Education - Formal or Informal: Senior in College - Bsc. of Comp Sci.
Physique: Lucas hasn't been actively involved in sports since middle school; he's neither weak nor sickly, but also isn't as fit as he could be. He could get most types of menial labor done but doesn't have the stamina for demanding work. Years of working with technology have diminished his eyesight.
Useful Skills:

National Origin: Jamaica, Caribbean
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Review the mock-up for a client's Web Page design.
Description of Personality: Lucas is a relaxed and curious person. He's used to long, mind-numbingly tedious tasks and views himself as a good problem solver, and learner; all critical skills for a programmer such as him. His focus on science and technology throughout high school and university has led to an acquired, methodological, and experiment-focused learning style.

Lucas is friendly, but not particularly talkative unless the conversation shifts to one of his interests.
Where in the world are you landing?: Venice, Northern Italy

Autobiography/Biography: Lucas is an only child but belongs to a large, extended family. His childhood was unremarkable, but he was a surprisingly frequent traveler and migrator; although he hadn't been outside of North America, he's experienced living in many of the major countries in the area and a few of the minor ones; this history of moving around has made him rather adaptable and receptive to new cultures and traditions, but it's also given him a strong sense of cultures and practices he likes and dislikes.

What are your intentions for this RP; what do you think your Author will seek to accomplish?: Creation and sustenance of a 'noble' empire; has admittedly fanciful ideas of an Arthurian-style court and empire.

What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: Crusader Kings III, Europa Universalis IV, Fate/verse, etc.

Why did you chose to land where you did?: Easy access to water and what better place to start a Civilization than smack in Europe?

What vibe should we get from your civilization and its culture, if you seek to establish one?: An Imperialist culture with strong principles of noblesse oblige, liberal ideas, and a sprinkling of meritocracy.

What are your character's motivations?: He's a fan of military history and no stranger to RTS games based around military conflict; furthermore, he believes there are many events that could be mitigated or avoided entirely with his foreknowledge of history...if he can still remember them in 5000 years' time.

Theme Song?: Lucas' Theme

What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?: To see how characters act and react to major world events and see whether their actions help, hurt, or throw off the rise of various empires, disease outbreaks, and otherwise! Also very interested in some geo-political intrigue between other OCs.
 
Name: Liliana Brooks
Age: 24
Height and Weight: 5'4 (161cm); ~130lbs
Physical Description: Short and stocky, Liliana is a true Irish/German mutt that bares characteristics that pulls from more than just those heritages. Thick and wavy brown hair that falls to her hips and the trademark German brow to match. Despite the fierce slant, the chubbiness to her cheeks makes it difficult for her to come across as anything but childlike. Liliana's Irish side shows up in the brown freckles dotting her pale skin and sea blue eyes.

Prior Profession: Full time student, part time grocery stocker
Level of Education - Formal or Informal: Was previously attending college for a nursing license
Physique: Good enough to continuously lift 10lbs boxes over the course of about 8 hours. No running stamina however
Useful Skills: A general knowledge on biology and how the body works.

National Origin: Eastern USA
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: Passed out on the couch while watching random youtube videos
Description of Personality: Liliana is a quiet girl that prefers to listen and observe before speaking. She is generally socially awkward and nervous, adding to her silent nature. She deals with quite a bit of anxiety on a day to day basis and is prone to overthinking. She does her best to be polite, caring and thoughtful. Lily thinks of herself as a compassionate individual if a bit timid and slow.
Where in the world are you landing?: North America
Autobiography/Biography: Liliana grew up with her mother and two sisters, moving from place to place every year or so. Her older sister was always best at making friends with her bright and cheery personality. Lily found herself 'sharing' that friend group while they went to high school together. As a result, the brunette never learned to make friends herself and never was able to keep a friend throughout her life. This left her perpetually depressed and lonely, making her revert into herself even more. Even as a college student, she still has difficulties approaching people.
What are your intentions for this RP; what do you think your Author will seek to accomplish?: I'm not sure what my own intentions are. I'm kind of 'go with the flow' type of writer. At first, Liliana will probably try and figure out if there's a way back home. Once she finds friends, her focus will be passing over what knowledge she has on medicine and biology to improve their health. Beyond that, I guess we'll see?
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: I'm going to be looking over articles to try and get as firm a grasp on the time period as possible but I'm not really sure about where I'm drawing inspiration from. I might update this once I do the research though.
Why did you chose to land where you did?: Because I really like the idea of being around trees and I know quite a bit about what kind of animals and plants I'll see there.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and its culture, if you seek to establish one?: Due to Lily's knowledge on medicine and her focus on that, it'll be showing strongly. Otherwise, I'm not sure yet
What are your character's motivations?: At first, to get home. But as she grows attached to the NPCs and making friends with them, it'll be improving their lives
