Question can we RP cannon ancients like Rome, Germania, Mama Greece ect. and still have a OC. FYI I'm claiming Pangea (AKA Mother Earth who's the mother/grandmother of the Ancients and some of the modern day nations) if that's alright. Although it may be hard to RP her because she doesn't really have a "culture" or "traded goods."

Hmm if you feel you're up to controlling three characters, then yes. And while it would be interesting to have Pangea as an OC, the problem with that is that she's too vague a character, considering that Pangea was multiple countries in one landmass. There's also the fact that she was precceded by other supercontinents. We'd have to make all of them OCs in flashback bits =/

And she has this kind of vague history. All we know is that she's very very old, is connected to nature, is related to all the Nations in some way or another (Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother) and can be found in images in all cultures as various Earth goddess. She generaly keeps to herself, but will occasionally pop up and talk to her family and give advice. She's still around only she's smaller and weaker than when she was younger. Does that help? I'm going to claim Mama Greece, mostly because I know alot about Greek history. For my other OC I'm going to claim Gaul. He's like Frances older braver more successful brother. Also should someone RP China? Because according to wiki he's about 4000 years old, and that would make him a child or young man at this time.

That helps somewhat; enough that most of her won't be this large blank space XD. As for China...I'm considering playing him myself, though I might choose to play the part of Mama Turkey instead, not sure yet. Mostly I'm going with this because Connacht isn't likely to have a significant role RP-wise early on.

Since the Turks were originally a nomadic band who's origins are in the Anatolian peninsula. (Though there's been debate on that as well.)

One could argue it does but not quite. I'd have to ask a Turkish friend more on the subject though.

I almost have my OC's stuff done. Only there isn't that much stuff on Gaul because not much is known about them.

Personified Nation: Assyria Human alias: Atalya Maria DoB (Date of Birth): WIP Survived to Modern Times (does this nation still exist today and in what form?): She's still around today, but at Alfred's house since she's been getting picked on back home at Iraq's. "Children" (counties--mostly applicable to places like Connacht, etc): WIP Occupation (as in what job do they have as a human, though it could also apply to any underlings they have XD): WIIIIIP Relationship to other nations: WIIIIIIP Favorite Human (could be a ruler or some other personage whose acts majorly affected the country): WIP DUDE

Though I suppose that maybe some of the Middle Eastern countries are her decendents.(Like Iraq or Saudi Arabia) And she definetly would not have Maria in her name because A) Maria is a LATIN name B) That name didn't exist in Asyrias time period. babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/assyrian-names.htmlAbove link to Assyrian names.
