This seems to be shaping up to be an interesting bunch of characters. Are you going to push people together or have everyone go their own way? Because if the latter, my hat's off to you. Nine plotlines would be... interesting to manage.

Everyone on their own, as I did with Imperial Japan. I think a group consisting of Imperial Soldiers, Boxers, Bandits and Eight-Nation Soldiers would end badly.

Though I do imagine players will run across each other at various times, though what they do when they happen upon each other is up to them.

Looks good, I'll just wait for you to decide his faction.

Texas has been Texas for several decades by 1900s, so it's just Texas. :P Don't worry, foreign geography is hard. I saw in your profile that you lived in British Columbia and thought to myself, "Is that in South America or Europe?" Then I looked it.
WOOT AMERICAN EDUMACATION

Also, he has 6 -'s but only 5 +'s. That means he should get a + in agility, is that cool with you?

Whoops, just changed it. Thought there were only 11 stats, so we had to choose 5 (-) and 5 (+) and leave the last blank for no bonus. And I see where you would get South America and Europe. Lol.  :P

Oh, and I had a question, TCM. Can I be from both the Bandits faction AND the Neutral Foreigner one? Or should I just say Bandit (US)?

Bandit (US) is good.

Also, I'm just going to assume each character has a rudimentary knowledge of the Chinese language.

I'll start writing stuff up when a certain Filipina gives all her character info. :3

In the meantime, anyone have any questions?

Filipina - term for female filipino. Though I prefer it being filipino woman instead, or essentially, just filipino (unless the speaker is using it in Tagalog) - this is based on what I've heard the dictionaries have given to it... you know, our history and all. Guess TCM shortened it but I'm ok with that, though I've never heard any non-Filipino use that. :P

Edit: sorry for bad quality though in biography. XD

I was wondering if our characters were going to be leading other men, like in your other RTD Blizzard Inferno?  Oh, and do you think most of the action will take place on land or will there be a chance of naval combat as well?

I guess I'll waitlist for this RTD as well. Might pay off later.

More part of a group than leading it, or going solo. This is more of a big war game than a survival one.

There will be less, but it will still occur. Naval combat was a much bigger part in Japan since it's islands, as opposed to China which only has ocean to it's south and east. Although there are a lot of rivers and ships on them.
