Right, so this game will take place in the Napoleonic wars, and before, during muskets, cannons, and the early grenades. All that good stuff.
Now the general time period will be 1700-1815, ending with the end of the Napoleonic wars, you will play a lowly soldier (or an officer, but it's first come first serve) you will get promotions if you do good, and be upgraded as the battles fight on, as the troops are outfitted with better equipment.
a few suggestions for class and origin
A Prussian (German) Skirmisher An Ottoman Janissary A Russian Line infantryman (Line infantry were basically the grunts, the backbone of the army) a French Grenadier (Grenadiers are also limited to two players) An Austrian Dragoon or A British Artilleryman
if you want a suggestion for what to play, ask me
to the sheet!

Trait you get a small boost when you run Bio: Trommler was raised in a very poor family in Germany with several siblings of whom he was one of the youngest(more than a few of Trommler's siblings died off of disease or starvation as he grew older). By necessity Trommler was forced from an early age to hunt for food in the nearby woods with his older brothers. Trommler very narrowly survived a bout with smallpox when he was about 7 years old, and from then on he was frequently ill, though never again as severely so. In addition to lightning reflexes, uncanny senses, and excellent abilities with a rifle, through his childhood Trommler acquired a certain mental toughness and resiliency that was never present physically.

Trommler looks around for anything that could help him. This guy isn't much of a stand-and-fight type. He's clever and agile, not strong, and prefers to use his surroundings to his advantage.
