The Original L'Aigle Thread, for the sake of history. Be ye warned.

[Sharpe95th]

Name: George Williams
Age: 26
Nationality: Irish/English
Appearence: An athletically built lad,  blonde hair, a goatee/mustache lightly trimmed, blue eyes, short hair, and a nose that has been broken more then the hearts of his lovers. Born in a pub in Dublin, where his mother was bouncing between every lad that walked in. His father, who he never met, had previously been a soldier/officer in America, for the British, after being sent there for some punishment. George was mixed in with a tough crowd at a young age, and had a brother, by another woman whom he never got along with. While Bobby was very rough around the edges, and hated the Government, George was looking for an easier road to take to make a living. One rainy morning a drunk British Sgt approached him about joining. After the lectures, George said, "I would be a bloody fool to stand in line and fire, take fire, So the Sgt brainwashed him about the Glory of battle and rewards, along with the kings own Shilling, and told George of the Riflemen.
      George became quite interested and decided to join the British Army. Through the toughness of Training, the women that loved uniforms, love, lust, and low life as a common soldier, George gained rank through battles and glorious acts of courage and Bravery. He is a man of honor, a bastard some will say, but he will get the job done at the end of the day, nothing to stand in his way. This man will join your party as a crack shot, but you better have a damned good reason to use his valuable time, away from the women, and booze of course.

I'm giving it a go, based a bit off a historical fiction short story I wrote a few years back

Spoiler

Name: Karl Schenk (alternatively, "Schenk" or "Herr Schenk")

Nationality: Some sort of German, it is not really known, and he tends to randomly put together letters and add burgh at the end when asked where he is from.

Appearance: The upper part of his face juts out further than his jaw, that coupled with his very large nose (though more pointed than wide) makes him almost look bird-like. His hair is of a reddish-brown color and his moustache is done in a cavalier style. He also rather enjoys wearing the braids that are the sign of Hussars, though whether or not he was ever a hussar or not is unknown

Description: A very odd, yet very tough horseman, Schenk is one of those who appears to fight for nothing more than the fight itself, and of course the benefits gained from embellishing these stories to the lovely young ladies in the taverns. It is not quite known where he come from, but he speaks heavily accented German and prefers wearing a black pelisse, similar to the Leib Hussars of Prussia. Whatever his actual origins, Schenk claims to have fought under every banner in Europe, and recounts that his last adventure saw him rescuing a particularly buxom frau, that knew how to thank a man properly, from a rather insane Count in Montenegro, invariably including a good deal of sword fighting, several monsters, and a unusually helpful primate named Jim. He also claims to have laid with Marie Antoinette, bested King George III in a duel, and even to have smuggled Louis XVII out of France for a bottle of vintage 1701 Sauvignon Blanc.

In 'reality' Schenk is actually the son of a disgraced Prussian noble. He is an impeccable horseman whoring out his skills as a common sell-sword. While it is true that he really had fought with nearly every nation, his true allegiance lies with Prussia, where he hopes to one day return a great war hero and reclaim the honor his father gambled away. However, this is a long ways in the future, and for now, as Prussia sits under the French yoke, Schenk bides his time until he may return and help liberate his beloved country, but he does not share this knowledge liberally.

Basically: Eccentric Prussian Horseman (dialogue can use Preunglish, sort of half German half English, replacing w's with v's, the with z's, etc.) starts off with a Leib Hussar jacket, enjoys a good fight, harbors a well veiled resentment towards Frenchmen (one companion issue could be that he seemed rather more vicious than usual and cut down even those who surrendered if it's possible to make it so that this only triggers when fighting against the French, but even so should 'invent' reasons to have quarrels with the French members of the party) He enjoys a good wine, and even more so a good rut, which could also bring him into conflict with any party members that hold themselves to a higher moral standard. His best skill should be with the 1 handed sword, as he is a cavalryman through and through.

His reason for joining is obviously a search for a new commander, more women, and more wine, and his reason for leaving to go back to Prussia and help to liberate his beloved homeland.

If this piques any interest I could generate the face

At the age of 15 he ran away from home wandering Ireland constantly trying to find some "honest" work but when not found in a pub or prison was usually found in the gangs of Dublin. At 25 he took a boat over to Liverpool and drifted around the Midlands before finally arriving in London. Of course this being London in the 1700's it was quite easy "Crooked" Jack to find some "normal work". When Jack wasn't theiving he was a boxer and a very good one at that. Unfortunatly for Jack things took a turn for the worse when he got caught "doing a job for a friend". He was thrown into to prison and was senteneced to hang 'til dead. Then one day in a stroke of luck, a recruiting sergeant had come round to the prison tooking for those who would seek salvation from the noose in the Army. Jack naturally jumped at this chance and told the sergeat, " I'd rather die in the glory of battle then die doing the Hangman's Jig!". Afterward Jack saw time in the American Revolution, India, and in the Penninuslar Campign.
Dress: Light infanty corporal's uniform, kilt, and a top hat or shako. Personal weapons: Hussar saber, sea service pistol,and a Brown Bess musket.

[Drusus]

Name:  Carlos Jose Maria O'Con y Triolo  ("Don Carlos")
Nationality:  South American "Platinean" (from what will become the united provinces of the Rio de la Plata)
Age:  23
Appearence:  Short fashionable hair (a la Brutus), large Side burns, White pants, Equestrian Boots, understated but "Dandyish" tailcoat, straight sword, Pistol

    Carlos was Born on a large Estancia Ranch owned by his Creolo mother, and paid for in part by his mysterious and distant Irish father who sired him outside of matrimony....His incredibly Conservative mother brought him up a devout Catholic, while his somewhat estranged father stopped in to see him once a year and took a heavy handed interest in his education.....Carlos knows his father only in that he was a Jacobite who fought for France in the previous wars who imparted to his son a desire to suceed, a love of land, and a hatred of the English. 
    Sent to Paris to complete his education, Carlos became hungry for action as the current conflicts unfolded....what kept him from joining in the wars (until now) was his absolute confusion over which side to offer his services to....his hatred of the english, support of the one true church, or love of the new ideas of the rights of man and the audacity of Napoleon?  Today he makes his choice......

Skills:  Carlos specializes in Riding, One Handed Weapons, and Logistics
