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)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Red_Cliffs

@Dutiful, I would recommend you read the last link @Wonderwoman gave, because that is still useful to research.

I found some conceptual artwork of each of the characters we might meet in Han Dynasty China

Cao Cao (Qinhe's father)

Spoiler! :
Image


Liu Bei (hero of the people)

Spoiler! :
Image


Sun Quan (leader of the Wu Kingdom)

Spoiler! :
Image


Cao Pi (Qinhe's brother)

Spoiler! :
Image


Zhuge Liang (Liu Bei's high strategist and possible abductor)

Spoiler! :
Image


Zhou Yu (Sun Quan's strategist, possible abductor)

Spoiler! :
Image


Xiahou Dun (Cao Cao's strategist and cousin)

Spoiler! :
Image


Zuo Ci (man shrouded in mystery, "neutral", possible abductor)

Spoiler! :
Image


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.

Since it's just been sitting awhile, and the spot is also quite essential plot wise, I'ma snatch up the Han Dynasty Kid. :3

And who needs research? Dont follow that motto, kids.

@Rydia, if you find a free moment this weekend, help me come find you xD I have questions. Lots or questions.

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.

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.
