"The Wind That Shakes the Barley"

"There's no peace to be found anymore. What once was yours, is now theirs. Are you going tae' roll over an' die for them? Are you going to let them take the land that your father's father was born upon, your inheritance as an Aednat? You have tae' fight for what is yours, boy. You have to fight just for the right to be who you are. Your son can grow up in the Empire, or he can grow up in Aiden. The choice is yours to make."

This year began in turmoil for the citizens of the Island of Aiden. After fighting long and hard with their ally, the Great Westerly Empire to defeat a threat that promised to destroy them both, they were invaded by the Imperial army in a ploy to "unite the kingdom." Within a month, a third of the nation had been taken from the people to whom it belonged. The Army of Aiden was all but destroyed as it returned home from its battle overseas. Now the Westely Empire has to do very little, but oppress what's left.

Without a resistance, the rest of Aiden will fall within but a few more short months.

The battle has since begun, and the fighting is heavy in the city of Betio and the surrounding countryside.

To arms, son of Aiden.

(What we have here is a largely free form war/civil war/rebellion/invasion Roleplay. I want the fighting to be nearly constant, and I want to get to know the characters before you kill them off. Make it tragic, and keep it tight, folks.)

"Kindle in our hearts, O God,
The flame of that love
which never ceases,
That it may burn in us,
giving light to others.
May we shine forever."


-The Rules-

Keep it semi-literate. I want to see at least two paragraphs and some decent spelling.
Cussin' is fine.
Violence is obviously fine.
Romance is fine, just keep it PG-13.
No godmodding.
What I say, goes.
PM me applications as follows:
If you apply to be a Son of Aiden make your title: "Son of Aiden"
If you apply to be an Imperial make the title: "Imperial"
If you get into a battle in the RP, fight it out, and I'll decide if it was legitimate. Whoever outsmarts their opponent obvious is the winner. If you get shot, it's your own damn fault.
The technology period is set in 1910-1920, so RP and characterize accordingly.
Have yourself a blast.

Gaianame: Sir Metzgermeister
Character Name: "Shame" is the longtime nickname he goes by. His given name was Leighe Arriat
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Character Picture or Description: "Shame"
Age: 20
Loyalty: Son of Aiden
Reason for Fighting: Shame wasn't concerned when Aiden was invaded, at least not initially. It hadn't affected him, and honestly, most people seemed to think that it had been inevitable for a long time either way. He had never considered himself a patriot, and when the Empire came...he actually was somewhat excited. Perhaps there'd be something else to do besides farm, with the new Imperial economic standards in place. This all changed when the Empire killed an entire village of Aednat civilians. Shame's village. The Empire did this to make an example out of those who would harbor rebels, as apparently the small village of Lehill had done. Leighe had been visiting family in the deep countryside when it happened, and returned to find that he had nothing left. What cut him deepest was the death of his fiance. Leighe vowed that from that day on, the Empire would pay for every last step it had taken into Aiden. The Empire would pay in blood and there'd be no remorse offered; at least not by the hand of Leighe.
Weapons: 7.63 Pistol, .30-06 Automatic Rifle, The Dagger "She" Gave him...
Additional Items: A Pipe, Pipe Tobacco, Cigarettes, Matches
Specialty: Shame is an excellent leader despite his initial apathy towards the invasion. After his decision to go militant, he became one of the Aiden resistance's greatest guerilla fighters. He earned the nickname from Imperial soldiers, "Blood and Shame."

He got his nickname by employing the artillery tactic "the wandering gun", in which a large caliber cannon would roam an area, stop to fire and then immediately start again, to avoid punishment.
Since the Imperial invasion he has never stopped fighting, remaining with whatever had left of the military, but sadly to little use, as 'ole Betsy was captured when the capitol fell, along with the rest of his crew.

Gaianame: Karo Kiba
Character Name: Nafisa Mallarky

Loyalty: Aiden
Reason for Fighting: Nafisa's mother is from Arzanibijan. Her father is half Imperial, half Aednat. When she was one her Arzan family members murdered her mother as punishment for marrying a non-arzan man and having his child. Her father then took her to live with the Aednat side of his family. The Imperial side of her father's family never really cared for him or Nafis a. So Nafisa has always felt more of a connection to Aiden, even though she is half arzan and one quarter imperial.

Though she is not a pureblooded Aednat, Aiden is still her homeland.

Gaianame: XcoldhandsX
Character Name: Isaak Manfried
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Character Picture or Description: In Uniform
Out of Uniform
Age: 27
Loyalty: Empire
Reason for Fighting: Enlisting at age 18, he started out as nothing more than a gun for hire in all but name. Isaak spent the first two years in the service as cheap cannon fodder, fighting along side other low ranking privates on the front lines while the "real soldiers" were put in position to execute whatever plan the minds behind the battle had created. He showed an aptitude for surviving, something which is quite exceptional when your only purpose on the battlefield is to take bullets like a sponge. He slowly began moving up in the ranks, eventually deciding to apply for a spot in the Imperial Special Forces.
He quickly wound up in a recon division, a far stretch from his typical role in the trenches. Isaak had always been a good rifleman, but since joining recon he has discovered a real skill with stealth.
Weapons: Kar98k and Mauser C96 (no stock)
Additional Items: backpack, first aid kit, wallet, flask filled with water, cannabis, cigarette papers
Specialty: Isaak is a recon specialist. He is an excellent rifleman and can move quickly and quietly with ease. He has basic field medic training and is typically always well tuned in to his surroundings.
Likes: cannabis, money, silence, and the dark
Dislikes: extremists, excessive violence (anything beyond what is required), torture, bright open spaces, not getting paid, losing a squadmate, and failing a mission
"Theme" Song: Iron by Woodkid
Anything Else?: Isaak has no particular dislike for rebels, he simply sees it as doing his duty. He is occasionally prone to being merciful whenever it does not interfere with his mission in any way. He finds extremist imperial soldiers or hardcore loyalists to be annoying.

Leighe “Shame” Arriat

The time for blood would come as it always had, for time had proven that there was to be no such thing as peace among men. What fools they had been to believe in such a thing. Had the ancients not done battle, thousands of years before Shame had been born? Had there not been war but a short year ago, across the seas? Aiden had been an ally of the Empire then, and once upon a time they had counted themselves as equals. Or at least, the Aednats had counted themselves as equal. The Empire had no doubt seen it as not so. And why should they have? They were but a short hundred miles away by boat, much larger, much more experienced in the ways of "modern" war. Aiden had been full of fools not to see it; and to think that they called themselves warrior folks... It cut down to Shame's core and threatened to consume any little bit of patience and sanity that was left inside of him.

"O'er for the morning that comes and goes, with the great sphere's list and sea which flows..."

It seemed to Shame like he spent most of his days either fighting, or singing. If it wasn't one, it was the other. Sometimes it was both; and that's how it had been as of this day. Shame had been striking small patrols by himself, constantly, and then sliding back into the woods like a ghost. Before the Imperials could find him, he had already left. Such was the glory of having lived in the very same mountains his entire life, that he now fought in.

"Take my body as the wind bellows, don't let me be alone..."

But now it was time to sleep. The sun had long since set, and now it was night. Yes. It was time to sleep. Tentatively. With a firm grip on his pistol, Leighe let his head rest upon a bed of soft green grass.

"And on my breast in blood she died,
While soft winds shook the barley…"

Major Walter "The Razor" Reichert


Major Walter Reichert stepped out of his staff car onto the cobblestone street. He stretched his toned muscular body, having cramped slightly after the long ride. His aide closed the door behind him and he stood staring up at the army headquarters. He nodded in appreciation of the building. The HQ was located in the center of the city of Foldere in the center of occupied territory. It was an old building, with marble pillars making up the grand entry way. He walked forward slowly, his feet making a light clacking on the stone.

The morning sun glinted off of his death's head ring he wore on his right hand, and the .45 caliber pistol that hung on his left leg. The ring identified him as a member of the Sentinel Group. The group was a military unit that was given the best and newest technology at the expense of results. Major Reichert commanded the group of strong men and cutthroats. After a hard fought victory against the Aiden army he had thought to be home long before Christmas. However, things now did not look so promising.

He walked with purpose, his steps measured in military fashion as he took the marble stairs to the entrance. His aide walked a step behind and to the left of him as was proper. He reached the door and two uniformed Imperial soldiers stopped him and demanded his identification. The aide scrambled forward and pulled both of their papers out of his brief case. He however, did so awkwardly having to work around the handcuff that prevented him from losing the case.

A few moments later Reichert stepped back out of the building with a manila folder in his hand. It was stamped with the Imperial Seal and was marked for his eyes only. He leaned against the back of the staff car as his aide seemed flustered by his apparent devil may care attitude. His unit had been given the weekend off after their recent successes and thus he had been forced to take one of the cooks as an aide. The result was the man was constantly trying overly hard to impress. Any of his men would have stood patiently at attention for hours if he had given the command. He shook his head as he pulled his stiletto out of the grey uniform coat he wore and opened the folder slowly.

* * * * * * *

It was late afternoon when his staff car stopped again. This time he was sitting in it near the last secure post in the country. The orders had forced him to recall his men from leave and head to the border immediately. They were not orders he had been keen to relay, but he did none the less. He stepped out and looked at the convoy of trucks behind him. He nodded to his XO, who had joined him in the car since leaving Foldere. The captain stepped out of the other side and moved to the first truck, giving the order to dismount. Walter looked around and took in a deep breath of crisp air. No wonder the Empire wanted this land. It was truly beautiful.

Catríona walked silently over the man that was sleeping on the grass and sighed. With the toe of her boot and jabbed at the small of his back, using the sensitive area to wake him up. "Hey...idiot, get up before lunch gets eaten by the dog..." She jabbed at him again and rolled one of her stones in her hand. It was the copper colored one with the flecks of blue that glittered in the sun. She opened her palm to look at it, a longing glimmer in her green eyes before she looked up at the green canopy above them. "Get up, Shame!" she growled and flicked a match at him, it landed on the grass by his face, dying a it ate the wooden stick and couldn't grab onto the lush, fluffy green grass.

Catríona watched as the small bit of smoke wafted up to his nose, sure that the sulfuric scent would wake him as she lifted her canteen to her lips and took a shallow gulp of the water inside of it. The blonde woman sighed and shook her head, she needed to refill it again. Catríona shifted on her feet, sliding around in her boots a little as they got loose again. There were so many things to get done, feeding this crazy man was one of them. But that wasn't getting done with him sleeping in the grass as he was.

He hadn't quite drifted off to sleep when the smell of burning...something, reached his nostrils. It smelled like a match, and then it smelled like...burning tissue. Burning hair. Some sort of organic matter. Shame immediately hopped up to his feet, unsheathed dagger in hand.

"God take yeh, waking a man up like that. Lucky I didn't carve you up like a harvest-time squash!!"

Shame had been startled. Perhaps it had what he deserved. Sleeping wasn't exactly the safest thing to be doing under any circumstances, and she had snuck right up on him. Good lord. This was the sort of company he had been keeping lately. His puppy dog and a girl he hardly knew were what made up his family now.

"Sorry I dozed. I've been a little preoccupied with things as of late, and it's been affecting my ability to concentrate on not sleeping."

He chuckled.

"And on my breast in blood she died,
While soft winds shook the barley…"

Carver crouched in the brush and watched the two and their lovely shenanigans as his men got into position. He leaned against a nearby tree and smiled. These two didn't appear to be a threat to anyone. He however, was not going to be taking any chances. They had been on the run north for several days and hadn't gotten much sleep or had time for a warm meal. He took a deep breath and looked down at his trench gun. He thumbed the safety off and took a deep breath. He nodded to the soldiers on either side of him. The rag tag group of combat engineers walked out of the woods in nearly a 360 degree circle around the two.

"Well now... looks like a couple 'o lovebirds swooning in a nest. What shenanigans are ya all up to up here alone?"


He stepped forward and bowed to Catríona elegantly, a twinkle in his eye.

"And pray tell, what's a fine lass of the old sod doing in a place like this?"


He had a large grin plastered all over his face. Several of his men had started laughing when he said the s word the first time, and he turned back to them and nodded.

"An lass... that's a right fine smell! What do ya hav' cookin there?"

Leighe “Shame” Arriat

If Shame hadn't been pissed to have been woken up, he was definitely pissed now. Some group of ragtags had walked into his group of ragtags's camp and was now making fun of him. He was the ragtag in charge here, and he was in no mood to let anyone forget it! Shame groped around in the grass beside him and retrieved his BAR. He pulled back the charging handle with a very audible click and held the gun at his hip...pointed directly at the shaggy haired kinsmen who had been doing most of the talking,

"Stop the lights, and a good ********' evening tae' you too then. Who's the ol' sod now, bonnie-boy?"

No doubt all of their guns would be on him in an instant, and even with that being the case, he wasn't concerned. That wasn't the point.

"Your boys might be killing me in a rush, but not until I've made you a bad dose of lead poisoning and acute swiss-cheese-'a'dermia. What kind of world do we live in where a man can jus' walk into another man's camp and go making accusations of avian love making?"

Shame couldn't keep a straight face any longer and burst out laughing. He set his machinegun down and lit himself a cigarette.

"Ae' you boys. I didn't know we'd be expecting company, and I'm betting that she didn't either. Yer welcome to be making yourself at home though and we'll spare what we can."



"And on my breast in blood she died,
While soft winds shook the barley…"

Catríona -- That's all you need to know


She twitched as he entered her space. She lifted her twin swords from the scabbards in her knee high boots and glared at the men rightly. Listening to the man, she straightened when he spoke her to and she growled, "Nothin' fer yough!" she started and then she turned her head in a semi circle to look at some of the other men. "Find your own food... and then I'll cook it." She said, not denying anyone a fresh, hot meal, but not willing to give up her hard work to let for poor b*****d have it.

Catríona moved one step closer to the man that approached the two blondes and lifted her sword to be level with his knee. "Who are you, and if you're Imperial spies, I damn swear I will kill you before you can even take another breath." She growled again, threateningly, not being one to take anything lightly, especially being snuck up on like a Deer.

Upon Shames words she relaxed a little and shook her head. "Don't have enough to share with everyone... less yeh can grab something from around here, you won't be eating much. Just a moment after she spoke, the dog - Risi - walked up looking proud with a bone in its mouth. The bone still had a lot of meat on it, and thus alerted Catríona that the lunch prepared for Shame was now in Risi's belly. "And there sits Shame's food, as well," she said with a sigh and a palm pressed to her forehead.

Carver locked eyes with Shame and his grin did not falter. When he leveled the BAR, nine or so weapons were aimed right for his head. The jostling and chambering of weapons made a series of clicks that were quite recognizable. Carver looked the duo up and down and then burst into laughter. He held up his hand and the rest of the group lowered their weapons.

"Avian variety! Ha! Lad that's a good un!"

He held his stomach and let out a weeks' worth of supressed laughter. The rest of the group joined in and Carver walked forward slowly. He let his trench gun fall to his waist. It rested in it's sling around his neck as he extended his hand to Shame.

"Carver McGrath, an lad yer a sight fer sore eyes. My boys an I been running from the Imps for three days now."

He cringed a little before laughing again when he heard Catríona's accusation.

"Woah now lass... you're far too beautiful to be killin anyone... though I suppose 'hats a mark o' the times. An as fer the spies bit... if we were you'd be ded aight bout now."

He snapped his fingers and two men who had been hidden in the brush came out and stepped into the glade. Each carried a deer on his back and set them down next to the camp.

"We would be quite happy to break our fast with you fine people. Nah tell meh... have ya seen any 'Mperials round these parts?"
