The Roleplay Character Thread

[History Guy]

OK, well, assuming we are playing Carthage (please!), then we'll need to re-post our Carthaginian characters here below in this...THE ROLEPLAY CHARACTER THREAD!

[History Guy]

The Clan History-Guy

They call me Senator Hamilcar History-Guy of the History-Guy family. I am a Pre-Renaissance Renaissance man. I live in a rather large villa overlooking the water, where I grow grapes, which I sell for exorbitant prices to wine makers to bottle Hamilcar's Last Wine of the Summer, which sells in a multitude of foreign ports. I consider myself as incredibly patriotic as possible, and have fought in many wars in the position of Major General before civilization even began. I am also a history, working on a biography of Admiral Hanno, and my flunky slave, the fat, greasy Gastronome Neecap, constantly follows me around. I also have large amounts of cheese in my vast underground sellers, and I have the constant habit of forgetting to take only one bath per day. How tarsome.

An excerpt from the “Carthaginian History Travel Brochure for 4000 BC”:

"The large History-Guy family has it’s origins in the ancient city of Tyre, from which we Carthaginians fled and assembled at the start of the reign of the Togas family, and we have traced back our lineage to one Disgustus History-Guy, a mule-skinner, and the first History-Guy. He founded the dynasty by making a commercial empire for his mule skins, and despite his assassination by the jealous mule-skinning Hasdrubal Hatfield family, the History-Guy family became an important one commercially in early Carthage. However, in the dark times of pre-history, the family lost all prominence in a bitter feud between the History-Guys and the Hatfields, which ended in the total destruction of the Hatfield clan at the 4th Battle of the Byrsa on September 4, 2109 BC. Emerging from that conflict was Asbrudal History-Guy, who abolished the private army of the History-Guys soon afterward, and started to attempt to rebuild the family’s social prominence to what it is today, and though the mule trade is no longer important, the History-Guys, headed now by Senator Hamilcar History-Guy, are back as one of Carthage’s many important clans. As well as having some political power, they also have economic powers, with a hand in the glass-trade, the lead trade, the dye trade, and even now in the lumber trade, with a small holding in the Atlas Mountains."
