The Ruthen Tundra, inhospitable to most known life, still remains an enigma to many researchers. The Holy Kingdom of Entsteig now proposes an open expedition into the Ruthen Tundra for the benefit of knowledge.

Objectives and teams have yet to be set, but doubtlessly this will offer an opportunity for people to explore the Ruthen Tundra, previously unexplored. If your country wishes to send a team, please fill out this form for each team member.

Short Biography:
The Commonwealth of The Seadonia Empire, a country known for it's young, but experienced explorers, wishes to send one of their best explorers to join Entsteig's exploration.

Name: Joseph Garlevor Hawkins

Age: 26

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 140 lb

Occupation: Professional Explorer.

Credentials: Official Seadonian Explorer (Meaning he makes money by exploring in the name of the Seadonian Imperial Government)

Appearance: A limber young man, has uneven, wavy brown hair and twinkling green eyes full of intelligence. His casual attire is a long-sleeved white t-shirt, and blue jeans, but, depending on the environment, when exploring, he has ALL the necessary gear, and then some, if he can carry it.

Short Bio: The only son of famed explorers David Hawkins and Elizabeth Garlevor, Joseph immediately fell in love with exploring. Many days and nights in his youth, he'd explore the forest right next to his backyard and, thanks to his early personal training, he'd always find his way back.

At the age of 17, he applied in the Academy of Exploration, at the urging of his parents. Excelling, he became an offical Seadonian Explorer at the age of 21. To this day, he has located 22 different islands of varying sizes in the Pacific, all of which became part of The Seadonia Empire.

OOC: I assume you have a plot in mind?

Name: Alphonse Quetzal
Age: 32
Height: 1.8 meters
Weight: 124 kg
Occupation: Professional billionaire
Credentials: 8 years in the Otagian Army Rangers
Appearance: Slender, white-blonde hair, one arm and both legs are augmetics.
Bio: Alphonse Quetzal is one of the many heirs to the Quetzal family fortune. As son of PRA CEO Daniel Quetzal, Alphonse lived a life of luxury until the age of 18, when he began his mandantory service in the Otagian Army. It was found that he had a natural talent as a Cov Ops agent. In order to develop this talent further, he enlisted for a further tour of duty in the Rangers. His tour ended in a tragic accident where a friendly artillery shell blew off his left arm and both his legs. Using his status as a Quetzal, he was fitted with a set of (then experimental) augmetic limbs. He has come to enjoy them, and has had them kept at the state of the art since the accident. He has considered rejoining the Rangers, but his current occupation of billionaire playboy is too enjoyable to miss out on. Still, the proper motivation would have him out of the door and back to adventuring in moments.

The nation of Jaghur would be honored to send a small team to help in the exploration of the Ruthen Tundra. They are all experts in their particular field, and they have worked together on other projects such as these.
