So here's an idea for an RP. It's the plot of XCOM, but set in the historical mishmash of the other Firaxis game. So the Earth has come under invasion and a secretive council of contributing nations has put together the top-secret XCOM project to combat the invaders. Everything that human civilization is and was is on the line, so the defenders are assembled from around the world.
In this context though, technology level and place in history is . . . . fluid. You can play as the special units from the Civilization games such as a samurai, a hoplite, or a rough rider. Or you could even play as a major historical figure such as Miyamoto Musashi or Thomas Cochrane. You need not even be a warrior or soldier, Archimedes would make a great addition to XCOM's engineering division. The strike team will be outfitted with modern weapons and gear as standard, but if the unit or person you're playing as is more comfortable with a sword, well, no one's going to stop you from carrying it as long as you follow the Commander's orders. Plus the addition of Meld upgrades will make certain approaches to combat more viable as the RP goes on.
You yourself don't need to be a historian to play but some familiarity with the person or culture you're representing beyond the basics is a must.
