The year is 1874. In the Colony of Natal, the world is a powder keg. While restless Boers and enroaching Zulu impis threaten the frontiers, Europeans flock to the coast, searching for gold, glory, and big game.

Amidst this turmoil, Canadian hunter, Crimean War veteran, and translator Richard Braddock scrounges a living on the veldt. But his peaceful life is about to be shattered once more. From Durban, a company of European adventurers and thier entourage have come, seeking to experience the Dark Continent as theu know it. Amidst blood, tragedy, and black magic, life for Braddock and those whom he guides, will never be the same.


For this RPG, I require a minimum of 2 other players. Braddock will be played by yours truly, and the other characters MUST be European. Not nessecarily British, but from the Continent.

~Characters~

Richard Braddock - Turwaithion
Sir Jim Mason - Lor en Estel
Lady Katelin Mason - Lor en Estel
Anabell Langly - Lor en Estel
Amelia Connery - Misa Amane
Calista Labeau - Lady Elenriel
Darius DeChaney - Lady Elenriel
Katalina Williams - Lady Elenriel
Morgan Llwyd - Shadowcat

As I said before, I'm interested! Give me a few moments to come up with some bios. Is there a limit to how many characters we can have?

I'd say 3 is an acceptable number, if you can handle them. But, I want no more than 10 characters total. It gets confusing otherwise.

Certainly you can! Just remember to keep them all active in the story.


Also, I'd like at least 1 male character besides Braddock. There are a few hunting scenes that I doubt women would participate in.

I'm going to say yes, but I'd also like you to have a European character if you do that, please. The thing is, we can't have an overbalanced (Africa-leaning) number in the Nataler-European ratio, or else the 'mystery' of Africa and the plot is dampened. So choose wisely, Will.
