Alas, that doesn't help me a lot. Religion is a fine thing, but I prefer a kind of cross that has a double function: point down into the ground for praying and grip in the hand for slaying: the sword.

Will this team be prepared to invest in powerful armies and talk the language of the fist? Or is it just building?

LOL I don't think the Templars are sissies. I see them as a strong minded, committed, rational and sophiscated religious grouping, with a purpose.
Peace to you brother.
Since when is religion "rational" or "sophisticated". I'm looking for raving loons not afraid to back it up with violence.
You know, religion.

We are rational and sophisticated when coverting our fellow man one way or the other, what more do you need.
And since when have I become "rational and sophisticated"? Just because Hercules is, doesn't mean the rest of us are

Looks more like they are surrounded on all sides awaiting certain death, actually...
Anyone can fight. Can you wage a proper WAR?
“Citizens of Meridia. I am UnOrthOdOx…”
“YOU are nothing but a common butcher! We have heard of Bilbao. Why don’t you step off that horse and face judgement like a real man, you ravenous beast! For in the name of God, you will be struck down, devil!”
It was an unusual sight. An apparently able bodies man in the middle of the rest of the elderly, women and children. Had he simply fled the battle? If not, why was he not there? I calmly dismounted, unsheathed my sword, and threw it at his feet. It was not until he stepped forward that I noticed the robes. Yet another man of this Christ. He bent slowly and picked the sword up, apparently contemplating his options. Finally, at long last, he must have decided that my death would be worth the sin as he charged headlong and attempted to thrust the sword straight into my chest with little skill.
I easily sidestepped the lunge, catching his arm at the wrist with one hand and striking at the elbow with the other, breaking the arm in an instant. He fell to the ground crying in pain, and I placed my foot upon his neck, slowly applying pressure.
“As I was saying. I am UnOrthOdOx, and I claim this town in the name of the Glory of War. There will BE no resistance. There will be no rescue. You will comply or perish. If by some miracle a rescue is attempted, you – WILL – be slaughtered. Comply, and I will allow you to live.”
The struggling beneath my foot had ceased. I picked up my sword and remounted my horse before looking over the populace. My point, it seemed, had been made abundantly clear.One who has a surplus of the unorthodox shall attain surpassing victories. - Sun Pin

ok, con don't want me arround.
Seriously. I understand the "religion concept" is strictly a roleplaying thing. (more's the pity)
Is there room on the team for me to roleplay a raving psychopath of a cult leader, quite possibly not recognized by the proper 'church'? (very likely going public with my ravings, damn the poll, let em ban me)
Or would you guys rather everyone on the team stick to this peace be with you bullsh*t?One who has a surplus of the unorthodox shall attain surpassing victories. - Sun Pin

I hope you'll join, UnO, and hopefully you can make some of that GoW time come alive again when you do. When I read those fragments or references you occasionally post, I wish I had been the "rat in the corner of th room", who secretly heard and saw it all happening from the inside instead of the outside. Because from the outside, no matter how much you hear from something, it is never the same as from the inside. All the descriptions are just the shadows on the wall of Plato's famous example of the Cave and the shadows. I'm sure you know what I mean if you're familiar with that example.
In anycase, I'll join this team, and my character shall have no other character than that of the meaning of my name, Aidun, Aidan, Aedan, Aodh: fire. A knight whose passion is with the sword."Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.
