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!

Name: Heinrich Trommler Age: 18. Nationality: Prussia(Hessian mercenary). Class: Jager. Physical Desc.: Short and thin, with bright, alert eyes that are constantly darting around. Pale skin, marked with almost imperceptible pockmarks(from the smallpox) and multiple scars from one thing or another. Dark hair cut raggedly short and a somewhat pathetic attempt at a beard. Personality: Quiet and hardworking, but apathetic. 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. At the age of 17, Trommler left home and began a successful career as a hunter and trapper. Things were going relatively well until he was kidnapped by a press gang and forced into military service. Perk: Survivor: you have an innate endurance from that, +10 health --------- Weapons: Flintlock Musket with iron sights and bayonet, hirschfanger(a hunting dagger/machete).
