Mitoua City.
Lovely this time of year, or generally.
This year, not so much.

Gemu chuckles as he re-reads the beginning of his open letter.
He continues writing, looking out of the window as a bird flies past, fish in its' mouth.
Unless you happen to have been on a particularly heavy drinking session in the Docklands district, or are deaf, you may have noticed we're under siege.
Gemu sighs irritatedly as the 'e' in siege smudges.
If you haven't noted the parchment notices around the city, you probably need filling in:
The Chief-Merchant of Mitoua, Okane Baggu, has decreed that any freelance guild who can succesfully break this, and I quote, 'fair city''s siege will be granted 500,000 gold, to spend as they wish.
As such, I am searching for four freelance fighters to assist me, with an 100,000 gold share if we succeed.

Gemu looks again out of his window, at the camps of the Orcish army beyond the city walls, lit up like so many fireflies in the night.
Attached are several signup slips, message them to... and we'll meet at the clock tower on the 16th of this month.
Unless the orcish army have managed to build a siege machine, and level it by then.


SIGNUP:
Name: *I use Romanji puns. Don't feel the need to.*
Gender: *Male, Female or Other, I suppose*
Age: *Keep it fairly realistic*
Occupation: *Job when not in battle. Could be mercenary if that's all they do*
Fighting Style: *Choice of swordsman, archer, lancer, healing mage, battle mage, bare-fist fighter, etc*
Weapon (s): *Don't overkill. 2-3 max. Mages generally use staffs or spellbooks*
Appearance: *No need for exact clothing, just a description of what they usually wear*
Personality:
History: *no need for a lot, paragraph tops. Stuff like early life, and why they got stuck in the city*

MY SIGNUP:
Name: Gemu Masuta
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Occupation: Mercenary (Currently unemployed)
Fighting Style: Lancer
Weapon (s): Iron Lance, short steel sword and shield, horse (Uma)
Appearance: Gemu is pretty tall for his age, and pretty slim from riding training. He generally wears light armour, to give his horse a break from heavy lifting, and a bandana around his neck to keep away dust and such whilst riding. He has grey eyes, and pale skin. His hair is black. He has a serious face. His armour and shield's heraldry is a bear, which has been part-covered with a sword.
Personality: Gemu can be short-tempered, and hates losing time. He is very money motivated, like most mecenaries. He finds other people amusing, in their interractions with one another. His work distracts him a lot of the time, and his social life is patchy at best. He doesn't really work as a team player unless necessary.
 
Name: Aleph Corin
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Occupation: Hunter
Fighting Style: Archer
Weapons: A basic wooden bow, medium-sized leather quiver filled to capacity with various types of arrows, and a small iron dagger.
Appearance: Wears a full suit of leather armour, with a leather hood instead of the more common helmet. He is bald, with blue eyes, though his hood does well to hide his face. Has slightly paled skin, from being in his armour more often than not.
Personality: Generally outspoken and honest about his opinions on most things, including people stood next to him or talking to him. Generally won't initiate conversation, but will generally have no problem if someone else does. Rarely removes his armour, even for sleeping, as he feels vulnerable without it. When it does come off, it is usually only for cleaning and other such maintainence.
History: Aleph's early life was nothing special. Starting around age 10, he would spend most of his days practicing with his father's bow, shooting at targets pinned to the outside walls of the house. As he got older, his archery skills grew, and he eventually left home to make a living selling hides and meat from wild animals. He was in Mitoua City selling some meats when the siege began, and so gathered his equipment to see if his skills could be of use.
 
@O5-7

Gemu opens the letter that's been thrusted to him by a frantic postal worker.
Shaking his head, he re-enters his rented room above a tavern.
He reads Aleph's application, pours himself some rum, then tosses it into the 'Accepted' pile.
 
Name: Reece
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Occupation: Blacksmith
Fighting Style: Swordsman
Weapons: Longsword, short sword, Dagger

Personality: Reece is a warm and caring person usually, though he has previously shown signed of abandonment. He never talks about his history, and feels a's though he can never truly trust people. He has a fiery temper, and will protect those that need it with his life..
History: abandoned a's a child, grew up for several years in the wilds. He was offered a place in the cities official army after aiding (and protecting) the captains 6 man team during a skirmish. Reece declined the offer and left for a personal mission. Has recently stopped for supplies and hasn't left yet.


How was that?
 
@RegiReece

The next day, Gemu awakens to another letter beneath his door.
He reads it carefully, takes a breakfast glass of rum, then tosses it into the accepted pile.
He leaves the room to go and feed his horse, Uma.

Appearance: http://789chan.org/fail/src/132315280291.jpg
Personality: Master Sonichu is very bumbling and silly, and can be quite childish despite his age. He also has somewhat odd mannerisms, such as always using odd or outdated turns of phrase. However, he's got a good heart, and is very determined.

Name: Lavender Blue
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Occupation: Police Officer
Fighting Style: Swordswoman
Weapon (s): A long, sharp sword and a strong, thick but light shield
Appearance: Lavender wears a police uniform when she's doing her job, of course; otherwise she has a leather vest and ankle-length leather pants that act as good protection over a black T-shirt and long pants that stop the leather from rubbing her skin raw, although her skin is rather thick and tough anyway. She has bright green eyes and pale skin.
Personality: She's very serious and extremely bright and intelligent. Once she starts something, she always gets it done one way or another.
History: She grew up in the city, both her parents were murdered when she was 15 by a serial killer. This inspired her to become a police officer and a swordswoman, so she studied both hard. She covered up the death of both parents, so everybody thinks they're still alive, although rumors spread that they were sick, insane, or on drugs because they never left the house.
 
@Grit Denied- Didn't even bother looking at the medieval setting.

@Xelda57- Accepted
 
OK, accepted. This means we have four players, and me, if the two from a while ago will still play.
I will vm them tonight.
 
I am unable to contact O5-7.
Would you prefer to start, or wait for another to join?
 
OK, we'll start tomorrow. I'm busy today :3
