Will of the Thengoz - An interactive Swêbóz AAR

[desert]

You haven't conquered ALL the tribes yet, as you will soon find out.

[Vasiliyi]

I'm in. I've always wanted to do something like this. Ill post my summary when I think of a name. Good luck!

[gamegeek2]

Ah well, here you go, now time for me to criticize you :)

[Olaf Blackeyes]

Sign me up. PLZ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!

Ok seriousness. This is going to be good, and i can finally get some constructive criticisms for my Sweboz AAR which is the only one ive seen in a while, (But in truth it has moved on and become a fanfic so there are really none ATM)

BTW until u conquer all the tribes the only two tribal membership open are the Semenozez (proper Swebozez) and the Markomannez (Swebozez sub-tribe)

EDIT: oh wait u already Blitzed Germania, ok so now i can form my character.

Character name (English for you convince): Richemer (An aside; most Germans of this period have no last names)
Age: 25
Description: 6'3" with dirty blond hair pale skin, a deep scar down the left side of his face, all the way to the collar bone, from battle and (due to a birth defect) piercing red eyes.
Tribe:Markomannoz
History:Born to the times before the Great Battle Wolf (the IRL moniker for Heruwulfaz) he grew up as a battle hardened individual, even receiving a deep scar during a raid from some Habuskoz warriors. His eyes are the most defining thing about him. He scares many of the people he meets when he looks at them. Some say he is possessed by demons, others say that he IS a demon. A fierce warrior and firmly behind the Sweboz Federation and its new "king". He received some lands from his raids at about age 19, married at age 21. But, tragically, his wife died giving birth to their twin daughters, Aluruno; age 2 (obivous rip from my AAR here) and Frujilio; age 2. Due to his fiercesome demeanor he cannot find another love, and has since stopped caring about that.
Interests: His daughters, killing his enemies, drinking, MOAR drinking, even MOAR drinking, and swordfighting. Oh and did i forget to mention drinking?

But i also noticed that your are forgetting the two tribes in the far north, The Crimbrii (Xembrozez) of ancient Denmark, and the Gautzez (Goths) of southern Scandinavia and Gotland Isle. I hope u dont forget to conquer them.

I hope this is as good as Maion's and i hope to see him here as well, along with the rest of the Makedonian AAR crew.

[HunGeneral]

Wow. This is great - count me in

I will post a character description in the afternoon - or as soon as I think one up.

[Maion Maroneios]

Excellent, Jaertecken. I've always wanted to see this in the making, since I remember you mentioning this in the past. Even though I'm not into smelly barbaroi (), be sure that I will follow this one

Maion

[SwissBarbar]

Great, very interesting, I'll gladly participate.

Character: Arnulf
Age: 19
Description: 6.1 feet, long dark hair but light blue eyes, bold features and very muscular body. Though he's a fierce and brave warrior, he sometimes just has a waggish sense of humour.
Tribe: Heruskôz
History: Though he's quite young, he already is known among his fellow men to be a good fighter and brave warrior. Since his father died early, defending his lands against the filthy Hábuskôz, he now is the patriarch of his family. He protects his mother, his younger brother and his teenage sister. He himself is not married yet. Hates the Hábuskôz with heart and soul.
Interests: Fighting with sword and spear, providing for his family and of course women.

Excellent, Jaertecken. I've always wanted to see this in the making, since I remember you mentioning this in the past. Even though I'm not into smelly barbaroi (), be sure that I will follow this one

Maion

you should read my AAR, though about smelly barbaroi the odoriferous Hellenic factions play a more and more important role, could be interesting 4 u ;-)

[Tyrfingr]

You haven't conquered ALL the tribes yet, as you will soon find out.

Actually, I have...You only have to unite the Heruskôz, Hábuskôz, Swêbóz, Háttôz, Kimbriôz and the Rugôz to get "Uniter of Tribes".

[everyone]

interesting, I think I'll also participate

(hold on; I'll edit this post later in around 2 hours because I have to do other stuff now but somehow found myself on the .org )

Character: Theudanaz
Age: 30
Description: An intimidating man of large build and bold features
as an extra, I shall add traits: sharp/uncharismatic/vigourous, unselfish/pessimistic/loyal
Tribe: Heruskôz
History: Theudanaz, a patriarch of his family, large and extended. He has seen battle at an early age, joining raids on the lands of other tribes before the time of the unification; but when the Sweboz arrived, the then patriarch of his family had decided to aid the Sweboz; now Theudanaz leads raids in the name of the Druhtênoz Theudónóm Aláizôm.
More on his family, his father had deceased and Theudanaz is married and has two sons.

[Tolg]

Great idea, count me in as well (please ;) ):


Character: Segmer
Age: 39
Description: A little bit shorter then your average German and a comparetively weak build with a patch covering his left eye.
Tribe: Rugôz
History: Segmer is known for being one of the richest members of the Thengoz, he trades amber with the "civilized" people of the south and sees war only as a way to gain more and more riches. His reputation among the tribes is rather bad due to his "womanish" looks and attitude, his dishonesty and his avarice. Non the less he's also know to be a very clever and rational person.
He grew up among to lower classes of society but left his tribe when he was 15 and returned 3 years later as a made man. One of the many rumours surrounding his youth is that he poisoned another rich trader and his escort just before they reached their destination and took their amber to sell it as his own. Though this has never been proven.
Shortly after his return Segmer was attack by a nomadic tribe at the border to Taurike Chersonesos. The slightly drunk leader of the raiders left him with the choice to either keep his cargo - swords and expensive Greek armour - or his left eye. Segmer chose the cargo.
Ever since he has held a grudge against nomads and what he believes to be nomads.
Interests: Money. Money. "Greek" culture (Segmer doesn't differentiate between Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians etc.). Water as he doesn't drink beer.

[HunGeneral]

Ok heres my character:

Name: Hadubrand.
Age: 32
Description: 6.2 feet, rather short brown hair and short beard, dark blue eyes, thin but strong in stature.
Tribe: Samânónz
History: Born as the only son of an influential member of the Samânónz he was sent south with some warriors by his father (who believed his sons passive nature would make him unworthy of his heritage) to see the world outside the forest of Germania and prove himself as a warrior. They spent 3 long years as mercenaries in the service of foreign tribes and kingdoms…. Only a dozen of the original band survived.
Hadurand and his “companions” returned 5 years earlier to the land of the Sweboz laden with riches and slaves – the spoils of war earned in battle with blood. After his Father died of old age he constantly supported Hêruwulfáz in uniting the tribes of Germania.
His experiences in foreign lands thought him a lot about warfare and the peoples of the south. Since then he prefers to outwit his enemies in battle then to overpower them. Hadubrand has also learnt to concentrate on his goal… achieving it with any means he deems necessary be it "generous presents", "hired killers" or open war...
He is very ambitious and strives for power and wealth (since both go hand in hand) but is very loyal to the King since he believes a united Germania can only be in interest of all Germanic tribes. He and his "companions" also hope to gain more income from trade between the tribes and neighboring lands and to lead their warriors (and those of other Tribes or peoples willing to join them) to conquer lands outside of Germania - for more power and more wealth.

[machinor]

English is not my first language either, so bare with me if I write like a drunken fool.

You'd be quite in-character by writing like a drunken fool!

Sounds really promising. I will follow this and maybe join in later.

[Olaf Blackeyes]

I am loving these character desciptions

[Vasiliyi]

Character name: Volker (the wolf)

Age:49 (dull/uncharasmatic/vigerous)

Discription: Fought in countless battles of the Mackromannoz. Lost his left arm a few years back when he was outnumbered. Luckily he survived his wound. Now his weapon of choice is a huge age that he swings wildly. He is a proud veteran and will be loyal to the death to any man who could bring him to battle. Although he never met his father or grandfather legend has it that they were nobile decendents of the kings personal bodyguard, even though he fights with the commoners. The reason for him being in the Thengoz is because of great valor. His bravery on the battlefeild was seen by his king and he was award land and status.
