o_o I have also forgotten about my character in the making. I will try to get it up by the end of the week.

Ughh so guys I'm really stuck right now. I spent a lot of time.researching Chinese History but I've only ended up more confuzzled. I was wondering if anyone could help me by providing info sufficient to create my character profile or providing me a link to a website simpler than Wikipedia xD
Thanks!

@Wonderwoman, although the links you provided provide insight to the general history of China, they will lead our friend @Dutiful astray from the specific time in China's history we will be traveling to.
This link I am providing is the precise link as to the exact historical event our characters will be going to, aka the Battle of Red Cliffs (208AD) You will also find all the other links you might need on this page (like the bios of the generals, background, etc)
I found some conceptual artwork of each of the characters we might meet in Han Dynasty China
Cao Cao (Qinhe's father)
Spoiler! :
Liu Bei (hero of the people)
Spoiler! :
Sun Quan (leader of the Wu Kingdom)
Spoiler! :
Cao Pi (Qinhe's brother)
Spoiler! :
Zhuge Liang (Liu Bei's high strategist and possible abductor)
Spoiler! :
Zhou Yu (Sun Quan's strategist, possible abductor)
Spoiler! :
Xiahou Dun (Cao Cao's strategist and cousin)
Spoiler! :
Zuo Ci (man shrouded in mystery, "neutral", possible abductor)
Spoiler! :
There are dozens others, like Liu Bei Sworn Brethren (Guan Yu and Zhang Fei), or Cao Pi and Sun Quan's lovers (Zhen ji and Da Qiao respectively), but they are not as crucial as the above pictures.
Also @Wolfie36 and @Pretzelsing, I think we should create a WFP for this SB, to gather all this information I'm dropping on everyone (don't even let me get started on the Hundred Years War!! We'd be here for days)

I shall supply a map on the siege of Orleans, and of the Three Kingdoms in 208AD a bit later, just so we all know the areas where the big events will take place.

I will try @Wolfare1! My home laptop is currently broken though so my weekend internet time is very limited at the moment. I'm hoping to get a replacement next week/ next weekend.
Wonderful, @Wolfare1, and thank you very much for grabbing them!!!! Welcome back

I finished my second character, too, so now we have a full cast for the Middle Ages. @TheWanderingWizard, @Dutiful, and @Pretzelsing, please get your characters in soon! I'm working on the first post now.
