If they've met or would know of each other in the original canon, they'd know of each other here. Unless otherwise stated by the player, characters are assumed to have experienced their canon events before being in the RP plot.
Hello all!
Don't mind me, I'll just be throwing a placeholder over here. That is, if that would be fine!
I still have yet to mull over my options in way of characters. I look forward to role-playing, with the few peers I know and new friends!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character: Harry Hart aka Galahad.
Attributes and powers: Harry Hart is perhaps the finest gentleman any self-respecting individual could come to know, prim and proper with a tailored suit to boot! He is also a Kingsman agent of the Secret Service, identified by the moniker Galahad. A man with many talents that belies his appearance; Harry Hart retains the fine arts of infiltration, espionage, assassination, close-quarters combat, spec-ops training, and more.
To this end, a gentleman isn't without his retinue of apparatuses. First and foremost: the suit, tailored to fit and emphasize the features of the wearer. It is also bullet-proof and tear resistant; the suit is an icon of the agents so there is some sentimental value attached. The next is the umbrella: a gentleman goes nowhere without it, kept on hand in case of rain and more. More in that it serves a purpose several-fold: an effective bludgeoning weapon, a bulletproof fabric allowing the furled umbrella to protect its user, and a multi-purpose projectile system. Following would be the simple lighter, utilized in igniting a cigarette or whatever else warranted thus... that doubles as a fragmentation device; a grenade in short. Last but not least of all: within the sole of their shoes lies a blade, coated with a fast acting neuro-toxin.
A Kingsman agent is more or less prepared for any given situation.
Character Background: Harry Hart serves as the secret agent Galahad, of the Kingsman Secret Service. Over the years, Hart's undergone many a sortie and operation, very much so behind the scenes. He adheres to the ideology that a gentleman only makes waves in the community when he is born, marries, and dies. To this end, he's kept memoirs: newspaper issues of the exact date of each and every operation, their front pages typically plastered with alarming news or nonsense.
He has been content with his line of work throughout the years, happy to serve and keep the peace. There is a duty that comes within being an agent; marking a candidate that could potentially replete the vacancy of a fallen agent. Such is the case for Agent Lancelot. It is here we come to see Galahad in action alongside a small unit, consisting of his candidate and Agent Merlin.
Tragedy ensues; the candidate sacrifices his life to save that of his mentor's and Merlin. Here, the tale begins with a remorseful Galahad bringing the news to the fallen's family, leaving behind a medal of bravery with his son.
Seventeen years passes and the need for candidates to replace Agent Lancelot arises once more...
(Go see the movie if you haven't!)
Adding a character for me to have a duo goin' on...
Age: +/- 30 years old
Attributes / powers:
No superpowers or anything of the sword, but Ser Loras is a very capable warrior. He can fight with swords, axes, morningstars, and is a known tourney fighter.
Personality / history:
Loras is a sweet and caring man, as much as he is honorable and protective of those he loves.
In his youth, he squired for Renly Baratheon, with whom he later shared a very intimate relationship. He was annointed knight shortly before Renly announced himself King of the Seven Kingdoms, hence Loras' most known title: Knight of Flowers.
--- Warning: Game of Thrones spoiler in here --
After Renly's death, Loras became part of the Kingsguard, swearing to protect whoever sits on the Iron Throne, currently Tommen Baratheon, whom his sister Margaery is married to.
His relationship with Margaery is a very loving and open one; they have no secrets for each other and love each other dearly.
Canon: Game of Thrones
Right in the middle of image collection, and you made me lolI'm sorry, you made me do this... #MurderMemes
These two apply if there are any more duo slots. This will replace the Emperor.

Ezio Auditore
Mentor of the Assassin Order
The Truth is Written in Blood
Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Age: 52
Attributes/Powers:
Ezio is an incrediably skilled fighter trained in a mixture of different European styles (presumably, it never goes into detail) and Assassination techniques. In order to assist him with this he uses a state of the art (even by today's standards) multiple purpose Hidden Blade which can fire poison darts, bullets, and has a built in hidden blade.
He is a talented tactican, having held off several attacks on his Assassin Dens and personal estates during his lifetime.
He is also talented free-runner, able to scale the tallest of buildings despite his advanced (for the era) age. Assasting him with this is a so called Hookblade, a device similar to a hidden blade that can extend either the hook or the blade. This allows for special techniques against the enemy, and will propel him far above his natural reach.
He has an ability called Eagle Sense, which allows him to literally see flickers from the past, where people will travel, and finally discern his allies, enemies, and targets with ease.
He also shares the Apple with Desmond Miles. It full power of the Apple isn't known, but it can control the mind and body of men. It has also been known to allow the user to create clones of himself and discharge enormous amounts of energy.
It is said that if enough people stand in thrall of the Apple, you can change the world.
Personality/History:
Ezio Auditore da Firenze (1459 – 1524) was a Florentine nobleman during the Renaissance, and, unbeknownst to most historians and philosophers, the Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, a title which he held from 1503 to 1513. He is also an ancestor to William and Desmond Miles, as well as Clay Kaczmarek.
A member of the House of Auditore, Ezio remained unaware of his Assassin heritage until the age of 17, when he witnessed the hanging of his father and two brothers, Federico and Petruccio. Forced to flee his birthplace with his remaining family members - his mother and sister - Ezio took refuge in the Tuscan town of Monteriggioni, at the Villa Auditore.
After learning of his heritage from his uncle, Mario Auditore, Ezio began his Assassin training and set about on his quest for vengeance against the Templar Order, and their Grand Master, Rodrigo Borgia, who had ordered the execution of his kin.
During his travels, Ezio managed to not only unite the pages of the Codex, written by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, but also to save the cities of Florence, Venice, and Rome from Templar rule.
He ensured the future travels of Christopher Columbus to the New World, liberated Rome from Borgia rule, and prevented the rise to power of Ercole Massimo's Cult of Hermes, helping spread the Renaissance and Assassin ideals of independence and free will throughout Italy.
In the years that followed, Ezio began a quest to rediscover the lost history of the Order. Traveling to the aged fortress of Masyaf in order to learn more of the Assassins before him, he discovered it overrun with Templars and made his way to the city of Constantinople to uncover the location of the Masyaf keys which, as he discovered, would unlock the fortress's fabled hidden library when brought together.
Charming and clever, in his youth Ezio was a ladies man. Well actually this continued late into his life until he finally found his final love, Sofia Sartor. He was also an incrediably loyal friend, and would do next to anything for them when asked.
If someone he loved was killed, he would devote anything, everything to have revenge on the culprit. Even years of his life.
He was also incrediably charismatic, in his life not building one, but two separate Assassin Orders in Roma and Conistintanople respectively.
Character Name: Desmond Miles
Age: 25
Attributes/Powers: He has all of the same abilities of Ezio in theory, as he once 'bled' together with his ancestor to absorb his abilities. He also has the skills and abilities of another ancestor, Ratonhnhaké:ton. This means that he is more dangerous than even Ezio's decades of experience would suggest.
For combat he shares the Apple of Eden with Ezio, although he has a much greater control over it and doesn't suffer feedback from use of the device.
In combat he primarily uses a Hidden Blade in combination with a Tomahawk or knife if he has them available. Ever since he left his native universe he has expressed a distaste for guns, even passing one up in favor of a simple dagger.
His Hidden Blade has no extra augmentations on it other than the ability to let the blade pivot, and the ability to inject it with a poison or sedative. He also has a small of Reaper Anesthetic left over from the so called awards show.
He also posses a weaker form of Ezio's Eagle Sense called Eagle Vision. It allows him to observe the world and the people around him and even discern their true motives.
Desmond Miles (1987 – 2012) was a member of the Assassin Order and a descendant of numerous familial lines that had sworn an allegiance to the Assassins; including individuals such as Aquilus, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Edward Kenway, and Ratonhnhaké:ton.
By age 16, Desmond became tired of living in hiding and aspired to pursue his own dreams. Using the minimal training of Assassin skills he had obtained from his father, William Miles, Desmond fled from the Assassin compound he had grown up in and managed to travel from South Dakota to New York City, where he found employment as a bartender in the Bad Weather nightclub.
In September 2012, Desmond was kidnapped and incarcerated by Abstergo Industries, a Templar organization, and forced into a machine called the Animus to relive the genetic memories of his ancestor, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. It was Abstergo's aim to acquire a map that detailed many "Pieces of Eden" spread across the Earth, which Desmond was reluctantly successful in doing. Following this, he managed to escape Abstergo with the help of Lucy Stillman, an undercover Assassin, and joined an Assassin cell in Italy, which consisted of herself, Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane. Utilizing an upgraded Animus of Rebecca's construction, Desmond relived the memories of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, in order to improve upon his newly obtained skills.
Eventually, with the knowledge gained from Ezio's memories, Desmond and his fellow Assassins obtained the location of Ezio's Apple of Eden, which was located underneath the Colosseum. Though successful in obtaining the artifact, Desmond's body was taken over by Juno, a member of the First Civilization, and was made to stab Lucy after Juno revealed her to be a traitor. As a result of the shock, Desmond fell into a coma, and was placed in the Black Room, the safe mode of the Animus, in an attempt to stabilize his condition. With help from the virtual construct of Clay Kaczmarek, "Subject 16" of Abstergo's Animus Project, Desmond was able to regain consciousness, and found himself located in the state of New York once more, this time with Rebecca, Shaun, and his father, William.
While in the Grand Temple, Desmond relived the memories of Haytham Kenway and Ratonhnhaké:ton to find the key to the sanctum containing the device needed to prevent a devastating solar wind. He also undertook field missions to retrieve power sources for the Temple, coming into conflict with Daniel Cross. After his father was captured, Desmond rescued him from Abstergo's Roman facility, and assassinated Cross and Warren Vidic in the process.
After finding the key, Desmond opened the sanctum, but discovered he had been misled. It was made known that the device would save the world, but also unleash Juno, who had been imprisoned because of her hatred for humanity; using the device would also claim Desmond's life. Regardless, Desmond chose to sacrifice himself for humanity's survival, while expressing faith that his fellow Assassins would find a way to stop the new threat.
MGIV and aftermath
Desmond is rare in the multiverse. He was chosen for a Murder Game by the mysterious shadowed man. He died in the game, and didn't come back to life like the others. When he finally did come back it was an odd pocket universe that was almost immediately erased alongside its occupants. Its more than likely that Desmond is not actually the same Desmond that was in MGIV, but rather a copy like most of the others there, one that managed to escape with his new life instead of being erased with the others.
In the intermission Desmond has been traveling the universe, hunting for a mysterious man that the shadowed man sent him after in between gathering allies for his new Order.
Together with John Crichton and River Tam, the three of them created something of an ad hoc Assassin's Order to hunt for the mysterious man and help against the Akibahara threat. They don't have many members, and have been mainly focused on hunting for that mysterious man.
Brash, sarcastic, and with a grim outlook on life, Desmond has been through a lot. He is not fond of the easy answers, often taking the harder route to his goal just because its a "dick move". He is bitter towards being manipulated, constant death and rebirth, and those he trusts betraying him. He trusts his allies in the new so called "Assassin Order" that him and others have built up to protect the multiverse, but is doubtful of whether its even right to have such a dangerous organization in existence.
