Japan we could be the first European and be like a Angel to them, also shape the future of Japan and turn it into a power house

I'm going with Northern Europe if We get the Viking converted we can then sail to the New World and build on free land. Shape the whole New World before anyone gets there.

Write-ins will be allowed, and pretty much any decision may be made for our presently non-described Christian MC provided it falls in line with Biblical Justification.

Basically any choice needs to be humanly possible, and if a moral/theological choice be able to be backed up by at least some Biblical argument if pressed.

Wealth decision:

>we are but a poor humble man/woman who gathered our few valuables to travel from X - Y, we brought our family/small group of christians from our homeland who have been convinced by my visions to help me bring God's word to the people of XYZ.

>We are a normal man/woman who decided to move from X-Y and brought along some people to set up a church at Y.

>We are Wealthy and were convicted by God when reading scripture to sell our shit to start a church at ____

Then vote for different stuff. If going with sweden->sweden founding then I will have us hit by massive storms, losing lots of supplies before managing to land in a fairly closeby Jarldom of friendly vague relatives. (with more description ofc).

Quite a lot of combinations that give huge differences in setting and play style, so giving plenty of time for working out the generation choices will be very important.

400 AD Sweden seems to be the exact year that the Migration Period of the various Tribes started.

The Western Roman Empire payed off the non Hunnic tribes (this is 20 years before Attila Total War) in order to be able to hold off the Huns.

Character name: Wolfsbane Angatyr
Born and raised in: Eketorp Fort on the island of Oland (long island just east of the mainland).

Church Founding Location: Sodorkoping (south west of Stockholm.


We are one of the first Swedes to migrate from the south and coastline, to further inland.
You have decided you use the large wealth from Roman bribes for peace, to move north west (Sodorkoping).

The travel was fucking awful, it felt as though your former pagan gods were making sure you rued the day you converted to Christianity after reading the Gospels.

Or maybe it was Satan, furious that God had snatched a worshiper of evil from the hands of Hell, to become a man of God?

Whatever it is, your small group of 100 followers (all the people who decided to move with their former liege lord from the small island fiefdom) end up losing half their number and supplies before they manage to find an excellent area to set up.

There is a local pagan tribe of about 1000 who are friendly.


With that, we are probably all set to go for the full thing at 6-9pm NZ time.

:D

>>534520
OP come back

Wolfsbane Angatyr, former minor pagan lord's heir, now an Apostle of Christ. Your hair is light blonde, skin white, body very muscular, with sharp blue eyes.
>50 fellow Olander's, including a few cousins (they can be named, will get you guys to name some of them if you want to. Even write-in personalities and skills, potential for having more than one main character though will not do that until got my writers flow and style figured out)
While you are extremely intelligent with a deep understanding - both practical and theoretical - of many concepts and aspects of life - such as architecture, education, pagan myths now renounced in favour of the Gospel, and farming - you are poor at expressing yourself in an agreeable fashion. Something which sometimes forced you to do the more complicated jobs in your fiefdom on Oland; practical skills not just knowledge. Nevertheless, you were respected well enough at home to bring followers with you. The majority of Ekekorp did not have Faith enough to travel during the autumn storms, and chose to remain under your Father's leadership.
You are very slow on your feet, and, it would seem from your struggle with resisting a variety of temptations to sin - your Will Power - is equally as bad.

Okay, I guess Lust and Pride are Wolfsbane's sins.

You lead your battered disciples through forest and fen north west deeper into the mainland. Wolves howl in during the several nights. Wildlife was everywhere. Lots of good hunting. But the storms were like the old myths of Thor sending lightning down on earth and on the tops of mountains. Flash freezes took out a score of you disciples. Wolves took out a few. A flood took out some more while you were camping near a seemingly harmless river overnight.
While moving in the direction you feel the Spirit is leading you, you come accross a small village where you lose some of your disciples who decide that they will be missionaries themselves there instead of led by you.
Eventually you make it to large and verdant valley, with a large river which is connected to an even larger river that gradually widens as it pours out to the east. You cannot see the ocean, but you know that it is there. Somewhere, many lazy turns through some hills it is.
So entranced with the utterly magnificent view of Creation, you did not notice the smoke on the horizon, or the small group of armed men on small horses approaching your migrants. They look cautiously welcoming - after all, your group does have it's own weapons having seen no reason to be defenseless doing God's work. The man in front is clearly the highest ranking of the men, wearing an expensive pagan necklace and a coat with light fur trim.
"I am Aljamarkiz, son of Hrelgrmair, the brother to Jarl Tarokz. Who speaks for you, strangers?" you followers look at you immediately, Aljamarkiz meets your eyes directly and calmly, "We are one of many tribes who consider themselves Suione. Your presence here is a surprise, and, if you are friendly, not unwelcome. Who are you, and what are you intentions?"
>Respond with full honesty (write in key details that you want to make sure are put in)
>"We are fellow Suione, though from much further South (this is true), who decided to migrate to brighter pastures what with population on the rise and much conflict and there being a growing lack of spare land to expand to without stepping on toes. (can be totally true, or half true). We would like to start up our own community with a huge open space and much opportunity for our future generations." gesture at the landscape all ready for settlers, "I am ambitious and wish to put mine and my settler's potential to work far from the bounds of familial demands."
>Goes full preacher
>go full begging for a place to stay, maybe become become a part of Aljamarkiz's retinue and have your settlers become part of this new tribe?
>promise peace and a request for information and maybe to have lodging in exchange for stories, information, work etc.

72+30=102 Miraculous Success.

You stand tall proud, a shadow of the glory of God shining from your face. You begin with identity, then into your faith and calling.

"I am Wolfsbane Angatyr, a disciple of God who was once a pagan from Oland. Until one day, I was fornicating with a local petty noble-woman. Suddenly a bright light filled the entire room, and a voice said "Repent of your wicked ways, only through Christ and following God's word may you be saved. Obey me, and I will make you fishers of men." You shift your gaze deep into the eyes of each of the dozen patrollers. They were amazed, and eyes were full of wonder. "I have been sent here by the grace of the one who died on the Cross of Calvary, that all pagans will repent and be baptised. I see that God is working through me to you...

>"...You must burn all false gods and graven images repent, and bring us with you to live among you and assist us as we bring God to your people"

>"Jesus Christ is an all loving and patient and powerful image of the invisible God the Trinity, I would like to bring my people to live with your people that we might give you the Gospel, so that you might have full understanding with your own copies of scripture that we will help you write down. Every person is equal in the eyes of God, so all must have access to God's word"

>For this reason, I must be given the roll of Parish leader, you must build us a large church and surrounding properties, servants and follow my teachings of what God says in the Bible, for only I am qualified by God to understand and preach here."

>Mix and match above things

>write in.

(This will push towards a more sacrificial, non-violent and educational path for this Church.)

You preach for about one hour, covering Jesus life basics, and His Message. You are a bit clumsy and it is almost certain that if your charisma was even average you would of only needed 30 minutes if that, to be God's mouthpiece. But nonetheless, God works his wonders as always.


Everyone is slain in the spirit. Either lying on their faces, kneeling, or with their hands and faces up to the Heavens. Speaking in tongues, words of vision and even some prophecies.

You also are deeply effected by this.

words of wisdom,
Discernment of Spirits. /
Faith for miracles,
Healings,

Tongues,

>Go with Aljamarkiz nephew to Jarl Tarokz once everyone is ready.

>Talk more with the dudes/ write in?

>>536573
Faith for miracles
Prophecy
Can you give a rundown what each one does?

>>Spend a couple of hours looking around the area to see any interesting things (like what the fish are like, soil softness, any minerals out in the open, good location for setting up a settlement later?).

Prophecy will give us hints about the future, and sometimes what God wants/sees us doing. It will get stronger the more we trust the prophecies (and regular prayer will strengthen our Will power and gifts over time), though it will have some drawbacks (the closer to God one is, the more powerful, but there will be temptation to abuse the power - well, anons might calculate in the future making a sinful decision, risking the gifts for a time perhaps).

Faith for miracles: finding stuff, basic magic type things. Google miracles and that will give you a sense of what this gift does. As with all things in the Quest, being a good Christian (and based on our choices, focus on being loving and just will be key) will power up our gifts.


Discernment of spirits: you can tell if someone is demon possessed (will happen at some point, I need to think about it though), and also have a better sense at if someone is Good or Evil (Show Alignment equivalent). The more you are able to follow Christ, the more sensitive this becomes. May even cause you in the future to think someone is dangerous when they have just a fetish or something but not actually doing anything physically dangerous.

Healings: mothertrucking healings! based upon rolls (with modifiers eventually), can probably do some resurrection.

Works of Power: Not sure, but I think will be something like "powerful miracles that are spontaneous and unexpected and uncontrolled with a big random element" or "whatever the fuck QM wants to do with this XD"

Tongues: praying/speaking in the language of the Angels/God's language, stronger prayers though you do not have control over what you say and you do not know what the purpose/will do until it either happens, or someone with the gift of Interpretation is present.


Words of wisdom: God has given you the wisdom to generally know what is wise and what is foolish, and handle situations better. Charisma is still needed to express the words of wisdom in an effective way.

Words of knowledge: Things ahead of time, comprehension of character - well, having knowledgeable things to say anyway. Not always immediately helpful, but if you or others take your words to heart they can get more stuff from it? or things make sense later.

>The Gift of healing, and Words of Wisdom.

After most of the crowd stood back up, praising Jesus, you mention that you are going to scout the area for things of interest.

You and a dozen of your people, with a couple of Jarl Tarokz men to be guides once you are ready to meet him at his town.

The rest make their way home in great joy.

>searching check
>wise words check (special resources found)

>>536423
aside from pic related, your 55/100 roll lets you pic 3 geographical features (like forests, caves, springs?)

68/100 gives a few special resources you can pick! (You can pick basically anything. Triple gold mines with kilometers of pure gold, with just a covering of dirt and rocks that have kept it hidden all this time. This will of course have big repurcussions like a gold crash and your greed sin might erm get worse)

>>536647
We didn't pick greed it was lust and pride

>>536650
oh good.

Well, you can always gain sins if you make the right/wrong decisions.
And we can gain gifts eventually.

Should I move this to anonkun? The writein and voting is easier and faster and there arent many anons anyway.

>6666
Two hours pass as you and a handful of your people search the area chatting about our findings. A large rift valley is found hidden nearby, with hot springs half a kilometer away. A small volcano with minor amounts of smoke is found too. Upon inspection, there is lava bubbling sleepily, easily accessible due to a fairly gentle trail from the top of the crater.
While looking down into the molten rock you have a brief vision of a black dragon circling the land, watching for pray to catch. 'hmm, I feel a powerful Demon has been sent to try to thrawt the efforts of God. We must remain ever vigilant'.

Pick as many you want:

Talk about God tell them how could anyone make this land, if not the God. Talk about God stuff.
>have your newfound allies guide you to their settlement.
