OK, I hope this RP will be good. It will involve fullscale battles, single battles, adventures, and, most importently, cover the events leading up to the fall of Rome.

The massive figure of Hadrieans Wall was a forboading sight, tucked away in the rolling hills of England, Maximus though to himself. The sun was peeking out from behind the tall Check Point Tower, just like it did every day. The warmth it spread was enjoyable, a final repreeve from the cold British nights. Maximus yawned, streched his arms, and flexed his armour. He had the misfortune of being picked for the night watch that day, and was extremly tired. A bright light blinded Maximus, if only for a second, and managed to catch him off guard. The light was reflecting off of the armour of his supirior officer.
"Centurion, you are relevied." The man said, not pausing, simply shoving past the man lieing on the cold, damp grass. Maximus simply accepted the comment, stood up, as best he could loaded down with forty pounds of armour, and slid down the hill, to where the small camp was nestled. The makeshift ramparts were quite forboaiding from this view, wooden stakes bursting forth in an orginized fashion, stratigicly placed to impale the foolhardy. Maximus didn't see the use for such a precaution, especially on this side of the Wall. Hasn't been a barbarian in this region for thiry years. Guess thats why we earn the name Marious' Mules, Maximus thought to himself. His fellow legionairs bustled around the busy camp, orders from the Tribune keeping them on their toes. Some were already loaded down with their gear, over eighty pounds of it, and waiting to begin the march. It would be a difficult one, Maximus knew, and a pointless one. They were ordered to reinforce this section of the Wall, due to the rumors of increased Barbarian activity in the badlands. The gate swung open as Maximus neared it. He gave a friendly wave to one of the legionairies, but didn't stop for anything. His tent was larger then the average leggionaires, him being a Centurion, but it was still damp, cramped. But at least he didn't have to share it with three other guys. A sudden uproar from outside the gates drew Maximus' attention. It was an odd sound, like soft thunder. A horse. Stepping from his tent, Maximus watched as the gates were swung open. A woman, riding on a beautiful brown horse rode into the center of the camp. The woman was hunched over, barley clutching to the horses main. Men clustered around her, a uproar of questions spewing forth. One man emerged from the swarming crowed, the woman cradled in his arms. This man was a member of Maximus' Century, and a friend of his.
"Who is she?" Maximus asked the man, stepping forward franticlly.
"I dont know, she hasn't said a word. She looks badly hurt, the wound is just above her shoulderblade." The big man replied, laying the woman down on the bed in Maximus' tent. Her beautiful eyes fluttered open. She moaned loudly, arching her back. She was in alot of pain. Maximus examined the wound. It was definatly a sword wound. Not a traditional sword, though, it had to be large, crudly made. Barbarians. Maximus should have known. He had froggoten somthing very importent. His mind flashed back to when he had woken up. Every day there had been a man patroling the walls. Their was none today. My god. The barbarians ahd taken the wall. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Ok, so that is it. Basiccly it folllows the Legion Brittanicus, as they try to survive as a unit during the collapse of the Roman empire. It will start in Britan, and slowly move into Western Rome in the final chapter. [/COLOR]
