Emily of Kanata RP Idea

Edwardian England
09-05-2007, 03:44
I recently watched a documentary on a young English girl who was raised among the Natives in Canada during colonial times. It gave me the idea for this RP, in which a young English girl is tooken captive by natives and raised by them. It continues with her return to a "European life".

I need people to play the English girl's mother and father (I'll be the girl, the main character) and the native leaders. We will have the English soldiers and native braves as npc's. I do not want to have the mother/father to be slain though.

If anyone is interested, then please tell me. Thank you for your time in reading this. People can ask me if they need any more information.

Characters:
Emily Carver (my character, the English girl)
Mrs. Carver (Emily's mother)
Mr. Carver (Emily's father) (UK2)
Chief Ravenclaw (fictional Native chief) (Amazonian Beasts)
Ravenclaw's Wife (the new mother of Emily) (Kurona)
English/Native soldiers (NPCs)
(I'll introduce more later on)

Note-This RP is set in the time of the French/British rivalry in North America.

This sounds highly interesting. I'll be an English soldier.
Kurona

I'm willing to be the chief's wife
Edwardian England

Kulikovia-English soldiers are non-playable.

Amazonian Beasts/United kingdom2: You can be those characters

New characters:
James McGregor (a clergyman from Scotland who pays the ransom for Emily's release after four years)
John McMurphy (an assistant to Mary, Queen of Scots who falls in love and later marries Emily)
Mary, Queen of Scots (only appears once to congratulate John and Emily's marriage)
Mary McMurphy (Emily and John's first child, named for Queen Mary)

I decided to add in these Scottish characters after watching a movie on Mary, Queen of Scots last night. Also, note that Emily (as did Esther) will not see her mother again after she's been released.

Consider it done. Also, if you want to give her a name, don't hesistate to, I can't seem to think of one myself.

Can i play as an English officer? i think there should be one but it's your rp....

I had said that English/Native soldiers are NPC's, I guess that includes officers. However, if you want, you could be a Scottish officer under Queen Mary (I can have you as the father of John McMurphy if you want) or you can be something other than an officer.

What year is this?
Edwardian England
10-05-2007, 01:50
What year is this?

During Colonial times, when the United States was just the Thirteen Colonies still under British rule. It will be set in the Thirteen Colonies or somewhere around British North America during Elizabeth I's time.

Umm...what can i be military or w/e assosiated?

So we are talking 1500's, i thought it was later like 1640's.....
Edwardian England
10-05-2007, 01:54
Umm...what can i be military or w/e assosiated...

You could be a Scottish military officer (as I said earlier). If others want to be English and/or Native soldiers, I'll make them playable but they'll only be in the RP in one battle (in which Emily is tooken from her parents).
Osteia
10-05-2007, 02:02
Thats awesome, soo i will continue in the rp after the battle...

Soo....i don't have to any specific Scottish officer? i can just make my junior offier and post a bio for him and stuff?

Sure, you can create a bio and what not. If you want, he can be the father of Mary's assistant (who I said marries Emily).

I made a mistake on the title of my thread. Is there a way to change it? Kanata was an old name for Canada and since I said this was set in the Thirteen Colonies, I think I may need to make some changes.

10-05-2007, 02:12
Well in Canada....1754–1763..the French Indian wars...lots of things going on..

there could be one battle then ...all what you explained..

Or you could keep the time frame and work around your mistakes correcting it so it fits where you want it to.

Im also fine with being the father of John, a Scottish Colonel..or Major..

I was thinking we can keep it in Canada some how, if you can help with that, I'd appreciate it. Also, you can be a Colonel or Major, but if we have this RP in the 1700's, we can simply omit the Mary Queen of Scots part and what not.

Anyone else interested? Also, do you have a bio for your character, Osteia?

Name: Guaire McMurphy
Age: 43
Height: 6'2
Weight: 154Lbs
Hair: Dark brown, clean shaven
Eyes: Green
Nationality: Scottish
Loyalties: England/Scotland
Rank: Colonel in the British army
Bio: Born in Glascow, Guaire McMurphy grew up in a large, disiplined, noble family, his father an army officer, his mother a respectable lady known by many in both England and Scotland. Over the years Guaire followed in his fathers footsteps learning all the could about becomming a gentleman and a good soldier. He was an excilent student who learned all he could, remembered his lessons and put it to use when the time came.

As the years past Guaire gained promotion, after promotion for loyal, honorable service in the British military, it reflected well upon him in others eyes because he was Scottish and not many Scot's had obtained high ranking officer ranks in the British military and it was certianly somthing to be proud of.

Upon gaining the rank of Major, McMurphy was sent to the America's where he carried out his dutys making quite the name for himself, after some time and many battles he was now a hardened veteran British officer respected by many who had distinguished himself for the crown when the time called.

Major Guaire McMurphy returned to England a hero, took a wife and over the years had a son named Johnathan whom he loved with all his heart, it was his goal to make him a proper man, learning things such as loyalty, honor, pride, respect, bravery and compassion.

McMurphy was sent back to the America's to command a mix of redcoat field regulars and their native allies, before departure he was also promoted to the rank of Colonel as he seemed fit for the task, new enemys threatened the crown and therefore they must be delt with swiftly by the might of England.

How about a French officer commanding a group of French/Native soldiers against the British/Native soldiers?
Osteia
10-05-2007, 23:14
Hehee, he might like that one :P

These natives are allived with the French right? yes..because they kidnapp Emily from the British. Im going to have Guaire there for the attack..is it going to be past tense..because didn't u say Emily was raised by Natives..or will it be just at the beginning of the rp?

The French indian wars are intense...ALOT going on..

And i have my Redcoats :) waahoo!..alot of good they are in the America's though lol

Militia are the better soldier for the scene at this time..

Emily will be kidnapped at the beginning of the RP (the battle is at this time). If you have any suggestions though, I don't mind you telling me. Also, thanks to you for joining.
Osteia
10-05-2007, 23:32
Ohh id say the escort would probably consist of Redcoat regulars, mounted officers...i doubt Militia would be present. The best place to ambush British regualrs are on their flanks hitting them hard with stealth..first eliminating their officers so they can't possibly fire as one, (They will fire at will..not very effective for their unit type)

Also for the ambush..i would say somwhere where you could keep an eye on the enemy, a field perhalps...but then again..they are wearing red.

But im sure you know how to set up an ambush aha, i look foward to this rp starting and it's a pleasure to have joined.

Colonel McMurphy had taught his son all he knew of the Americas, he would show no fear but he would be scared just as everyone else was...Guaire had faith in his son but would give his own life in a second so that his son might live.

Okay I'm really confused. How old is Emily as of right now in the rp? Because John is on the military venture with his father and is about twenty-three, so that might be a probably. I thought we were going to start out with the British finding Emily with the Natives.

9-10 for Emily is good too...it fits right in with the time line too, in 1759 she would be 15 if 10..up to you though..

9-10 for Emily is good too...it fits right in with the time line too, in 1759 she would be 15 if 10..up to you though..

Too young of a child wouldn't understand...

I've chosen 9 years old for her, I think it would work.

Okay I'm really confused. How old is Emily as of right now in the rp? Because John is on the military venture with his father and is about twenty-three, so that might be a probably. I thought we were going to start out with the British finding Emily with the Natives.

No, the British/Natives will fight near the farm and Emily will be taken by one of the Natives during the skirmish. Also, Emily is nine years old right now.

1754-1763 is how long the fighting went on....we could base it around the St.Lawerance river...HOT SPOT

We could try that, that could be a good location.

Okay then John is not in America. If he was then he is currently 23. Unless you want a 18 marrying a 33, then John is not America.

Ok ..there is a soloution for this.

In this era ranks could be bought in the military, the Colonel could have purchased Johns rank after sending him to school and all that..im confused too but we can somhow work around this...

The guy who wants to play as a French officer is going to create a bio for his character. Also, I was thinking of doing that, so people will go here for stuff like that.

We could start the skirmish soon, all we need is for the Brits to see the French advancing or vice versa, I guess.

Name: Alain Massena
Age: 28
Height: 5'11''
Weight: 186lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Hazel
History: Massena comes from a common family outside Quebec. His father was a merchant and mother a seamstress. All his life he was enamoured with the outdoors and the native cultures. He learned a language or two and became proefficent in hunting, tracking, and surviving in the wilderness. The young man's father wanted him to learn the trade but he yurned for something more, an exciting life. So, he left home and became a trapper, working in Canada and the Ohio River Valley, Laurel Highlands, there he was almost killed by a wolf and encountered several Indian tribes. Because of his knowledge of the trails and region, the French army enlisted him as a scout, which he proved to be invaluable to Fench operations in the area. After several years as a scout, they chose him to be an agent for the Army to the native tribes, supplying them with arms, goods, as well as other things. They also wanted him to lead Native war parties in their raids which was a secret mission. He's generally a good man with respect for the wilderness and the native peoples. He's a skilled woodsman, methodical, patient, tenacious. Also, he holds little respect for the British, due to their treatment and ideaology on the natives.

Maybe we could repel the attack then get another...McMurphy will be wounded in the battle but not killed, the farm house could be held for a bit..

Perhaps Emily could be taken in the first attack? I was thinking we would do one attack.

I think our charactors should interact...she could be taken when the British arrive at the farm after the fight, i would assume the natives and French outnumber us...but lets not make it an easy taking...

The British will arrive jsut in time to help defend the farm house then they will engauge in battle...im thinking Colonel McMurphy and John should interact with the family and what not..

They could hold the house while the soldiers with them try and hold out aswell...

That could work. I was thinking Emily could be captured during the skirmish or something like that if possible.

Sounds good! The British are gonna loose anyways.....the Colonel will be wounded and John..i dunno...

But some how John and the Colonel will survive....maybe some more British troops..just have the natives hit them hard and fast because British regualrs are useless without officers or a battle plan given the way wars are faught in North America...
