Drifters - The Battle (RP based on Hirano's Drifters manga) IC/Signup

Since the last RP handed to me plummeted, this is one that I have tried to see if this can work. Based on Hirano's ongoing Drifters manga, this RP is a sidestory game of a group of "Drifters" taken to another world to support the main group of "Drifters" led by Shimazu Toyohisa as they bring the fight against the Ends with support from the Oct.

Anyone interested to join must use historical figures since the Drifters' premise is based on this. Most of them are usually "taken" to the other world in the date/year that they usually die. If in doubt on whether your character choice is a historical figure and as such, can be considered as a part of the historical domain, please ask and I'll try my best to figure it out.

Word of advice: Look at the roster here and make sure that you don't take these guys since they are part of the game and are meant to be the characters "involved" in the main manga storyline.

The usual RP rules applies such as no godmodding, autohits or doing anything without the said approval of the GM unless permission is asked.

I've never read Drifters, but the idea of RP'ing as historical figures does intrigue me, so I may be interested. I'll have to think about this.

I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serial

@PR

- Well if you know where to look, you can get info and perhaps find a place to read it up on.

Otherwise, I await for anyone interested.

Here's how the PV of Drifters looks like and no, it's not out yet since no news is announced on whether Hirano will work with some anime company.

(Although it's a MAD, it is still official anime work released a few years ago).

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

Trying mine out:

• Name: Emilio Jacinto
• Picture: Only closest picture of him.◊
• Nationality: Filipino.
• Year of Death: 04/16/1889.
• Skills: Being in the Katipunan, he was the unofficial Secretary of State. He wrote several articles for pro-Katipunan papers under several aliases from the Kartilya to Liwanag at Dilim, a series of articles on human rights, liberty, equality, labor, government, and love of country. Although he was known as the "Brains" behind the group, Emilio was also a competent fighter in the field, using a bolo, a Spanish-made Mauser 1893 bolt-action rifle or a Smith & Wesson M1884 revolver during engagements against Spanish colonial forces in the Philippines. He is also proficient in speaking Spanish and Tagalog, although he preferred to speak in Spanish whenever it was possible for him to do so.
• Equipment: Emilio has a bolo with a sheath strapped on the left side of his belt when fighting in close quarters. He is armed with a S&W M1884 revolver holstered on the right side of his belt with a bandolier to hold revolver ammunition. Most of the time, he uses a M1871 Remington Rolling Block rifle with two rifle pouches on his belt to hold several .43 Spanish rounds.
• History: Born to a lower-class family, he lived with his uncle at a young age after his father passed away by his mother due to being unable to support him. Emilio first attended San Juan de Letran College before he moved to the University of Santo Tomas to study Law. He then dropped out in order to devote his time to the Katipunan full-time. During his time with the group, Emilio took some time to write poems, articles or papers for Katipunan members, mostly done under aliases to avoid being arrested for treason. After the death of Andres Bonifacio, Emilio refused to work with Emilio Aguinaldo and continued to lead Katipunan forces against Spanish colonial forces. He then died at the age of 23 due to malaria.
• Others: Emilio wears captured Guardia Civil Veterana shirt and pants with boots alongside his belt, pouches, bandolier and holster. He also wears a straw hat, owing to tropical climate conditions.

Is it bad enough if I bump this up despite being a week now? Never done it before.

Closed on request.

If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.
