I don't think I properly introduced some of my characters, so here they are. In addition, I am adding one more.

Point of information: Durlass was created by Nathan, but for the past few months I have taken him under my wing. I don't consider him an "official" charater of mine, yet he's got to have some background

Also, the recap for January will be up as soon as I can get it finished, which will hopefully be within the week

Name: Martin Humboldt
Age: 48
Background: Martin was born to a minor noble. At an early age he joined the Military Academy at Nutburg where he quickly adapted to army life. He never married and in the Falcon-Bull war he distinguished himself when his contingent unexpectedly encountered the bulk of the Bull army, nearly twice as large as his own. Launching a surprise attack, it was utterly defeated in a two-day battle. Upon this, he was then promoted from Lieutenant to a Major General, commanding the 2nd Corps of the Falcon army. When the military was mobilized just before the Bloodvaine saga, even more soldiers were placed under his command, mainly reserves and conscripts. He masterminded the attack on Royal Knight territory, using the same tactics that he had employed in the Falcon-Bull war only on a much larger scale, isolating key points and leaving groups of men behind to besiege them. When Black Knight territory was invaded, this proved more difficult as their infrastructure relayed on only three or four key points that were heavily defended. The battle of Rathoan and the siege that followed proved to be a catastrophe and the Black Falcons were barely able to escape. Another defeat occurred in Legolander territory but Martin’s genius once again kept the bulk of the army from harm. Lately he has been vying for the Falcon throne…
Place In Hierarchy: Leading General in the Falcon Army (In name)
Faction: Black Falcons
Looks: To be honest, I really can’t do justice to my conception of him in Lego. I imagine him of roughly the same set and looks of Winston Churchill.
Equipment: Martin usually carries a sword into battle, but rarely fights, preferring to mastermind the actual attack and make changes as necessary.
Class: Main Character

Name: Otto Neurath
Age: 49
Background: Otto is of mixed stock, his father formally being a Falcon trader and his mother a Crusader. He carried on his father’s business when he died, but has very close ties to the Falcons despite the fact he resides in Crusader land. How close is open to speculation…
Place In Hierarchy: Trader
Faction: Black Falcons/Crusaders
Equipment: Carries a dagger, but for all practical purposes, goes unarmed.
Class: Secondary Character

Name: The Marquis de’ Durlass
Age: 42
Background: The Marquis was brought up in a rich family, and hopelessly spoiled as a child. Ironically enough, this had no effect on him and he grew up to be a ruthless and scheming man, albeit a bit thickheaded in matters of foreign and domestic policy. Early on, he took whatever opportunities he could, elevating himself in the twisted and confusing maze of Falcon court politics. By the time of Falconis XXVIII’s death, he was the foremost noble and unofficially assumed command of the Falcon Government, using the young and weak Falconis XXIX as a puppet.
Place In Hierarchy: Major Noble
Faction: Black Falcons
Looks:
Equipment: None
Class: Main Character

Vincent Drake has the same face as "Reno", so you'll have to change that one, i guess.

Sry, I think you mean Draco, Reno has a pirate face so has Draco. But Reno has brown hair, and Draco has black hear. BTW, I think there are more characters with the same head, but they all have different torsos so that isn't a problem to recognize. Also, the pictures are only to give you a look on the characters, in the roleplay you use their names, don't you?

*edit*
Can I allready start posting? Since Lord_Of_The_LEGO said that he would update our pages today???

Greetings, Da Drake

Assuming you have read all the roleplay and assuming Nathan has updated you, go ahead. At least I can't see why not, though the boss is the boss.

On a side note: using the same heads for the characters is allowed, at least no rule has ever been against it. But again, the boss is the boss.

Just go ahead. Once you've read the rules and your character has been posted you're set to go. As for pictures, I'd like to do more of that, but oddly enough, I've started to envision RP as real life events, not in Lego. That makes it infinitely more hard for me to construct figs as Lego doesn't quite do justice to factors such as body weight, facial features, etc.

My goodness though, I will have quite a recap in front of me at the rate things are going - three pages in eight days!

You are correct. Having the same face does not create a problem. Bjarn and the Old Man have the same face. Bernard Quorandis and the Lone Falcon (and others, I'm sure) have the plain old smiley. Once you get down to it, actually, the Lone Falcon must be physically identical to thousands of generic, non-player, soldiers in the Black Falcon armies.

Kind of along the lines that Lemon_squeezer was talking about, although we use LEGO to visualise this story, it isn't "exactly" perfectly LEGO, any more than a LEGO game is perfectly LEGO. Think about it, can your figs actually bend their elbows, suck in their chests, have paunches? Not really... But Roleplay characters can, and do, have those attributes.

Put simply, LEGO is used to represent real life in the Roleplay in the same way that LEGO is used to represent real life in a game.
