This will take place during the ancient times (During Rome's reign pre-marian) where you play a soldier who has just volunteered with little money for equipment in the great armies of the ancient Civilizations.

During the timeline men in armies had to supply for their own equipment to join the army, so unless you came from a rich family you started off with little equipment, and with money gained from fighting, they purchased better and better equipment.

Prime Example: (one of) the lowest units in Roman armies were the Velites, men had no armor other than a Parma (round shield) and had a few javelins with a sword. Then the next up was the Hastati, with Lorica Segmenta (Chainmail), a Scutum (iconic Roman shield), Galea (Helmet) and a Gladius. Then to the Principes, and then the Triarii


But you get to play a soldier from any army, just pick a class of soldier (If you need help, just tell me what type of soldier you want, and i will give suggestions. But remember, you're a basic class.) and fight your way up through the ranks.
Please remember when making a character, not all soldiers were 6 foot, over muscled meat heads. Just because you're tall doesn't make that a good thing, and not every soldier was in perfect physical condition.

Physical Desc.: 5'6", 200 pounds, Strong Arms
Personality: Calm, Determined, Fearless
Trait: Better at throwing
Bio: Adrastos came from a very poor family who earns just enough to feed themselves. He is nimble and quick with his feet but most of all Adrastos can see far things clearly. When he grew up he hunted for food with his family, his special skill made it easier to shoot the animals. He continued doing this for years, until his family grew too large and the food he brought home every three days wasn't enough. He then joined the army with the equipment he bought with the money he earned from selling animal hides, he just risked his life this for the pay and for his family.
Perk: You can see further things more clearly.

Before you can the enemy retreats back and stops about 10 meters down the hill, your line does not pursue

you go back and find about 3 wounded nearby: one who was hit early in the battle with a javelin in his leg, he is about to lose consciousness and moaning lowly. another with a stab wound to thigh, he is screaming and bleeding profusely, the third, one of the celts has a large gash in his chest, he is not doing anything, just trying to get up, but fails and falls back down


the commander yells "All Psiloi! take the wounded back!"

people start dragging men back. when you reach the camp. One of the healers runs up and leads you into a large tent where the sick and wounded are, he leads you to a table to put him down on, then says "You...were you hit?" to you

"hmm, well get to your tent, and get rest, i'll have you awakened every hour"

well the battle is over for you, from what pay you get you can afford to become a sling Psiloi, get a shield or save up for a more expensive class (Sling will lead to the bowman)
