Good characters, it's nice to see people wanting to participate in it.

Just for reference, Kulikovia will be where Poland is. Instead of Warsaw, the capital city is Jonensberg. I can't upload a map, sorry.

Canadstein, your character seems pretty young to be a general.

Name: Zeki Gizem
Age: 29
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 147 lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Violet
Position: Ravean Agent
History: An agent from the neutral, Ottoman-affiliated Ravea, Zeki is in Kulikovia on what he calls "Offical Business." Ravea, whose anti-French attitudes are well known, sent Zeki to Yuri Federov as an "Outside Advisor to the King." A compotent military man, an expert assassian, and a notorious tripple-crosser, Zeki has worked with the Ottomans, nearly every major European power, Russia, the Chinese, and even the Americans. It's completely impossible to really know whose side he's really working for. Zeki is completely unpredictable, dangerous, and clever, so it would be best to stay out of his way.

For now, he is simply an advisor and watchdog for King Federov II.

I changed so his a colonel.

Ravea, welcome aboard.

I might as well make another character, for the Frenchies.

Damn, I do love a good ol' 18th century musket battle, and better yet Napolean. Mind if I am a Prussian Major?

Name: Tuec the Red Hawk
Age: Unknown (Looks like he's 20)
Height: Two Meters
Weight: 89kg
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
History: Tuec was one of the few remaining Native Americans in Europe. His whole family had fough on the French side of the wars in America, but to save young Tuec's life they sent him over seas. There he decided to join the Prussian Army, un-benounced to the racism that persisted in these Barbaric nations. In his homeland no one hate another for their skin colour, but rather for thier tribe. Now it seemed that his new tribe was with these barbarians and he didn't like it. The men were always whining about their training while Tuec glided threw every bit of it, except the rifle, which was the only thing his counterparts didn't complain about. He had only seen such a thing when his father went off to battle, it was usually covered in blood when he came back. So he considered it a ritual but now, he knew it was a weapon. His marksmenship grew increasingly threw training, surpassing everyone in the ranks, even the Company sharpshooter.
Due to racism he was not given the position of sharp shooter, but rather Lance Corporal in the smoothbore, 2nd Platoon, 3rd Squad. His combat experience would be tested at the battle of Due Ponc Claire' (Fictional) where he and his platoon would fight for thirteen days as the French tried to assualt the Left Flank of the Company. Nearly the whole platoon had been whiped out in the battle, but Tuec and about a dozen more troops still stood at the end. These men where re-inforced at the begining of the next battle and were all cycled back to the battalion HQ, except Tuec. He was forced to fight with the new platoon and had some how survived to get cycled back to battalion HQ. This, however, showed him that the Wolf spirit had saved him. Just minutes before a small French artillerie' unit had sneaked threw the rear and had whiped out the whole HQ using grap shot. The French units had been destroyed, but the whole of Tuec's platoon had been whiped out. Therefore he was the new platoon First Lieutenant of 44th Lord von Bismarck's Brigade, 12th Vienna Fighting Men Regiment, 76th Infantry Battalion, C Company, 2nd Platoon.
