Which nation are you thinking of joining? There are a lot of Scottish Larpers around!

Iām still unsure, I kinda like Dawn or Varushka but since I donāt have a clear image of a character is hard to choose hahaha. I didnāt know there were a lot of Scottish tbh! Thatās exciting!
I wanted to create something related to healing, trading or rituals since Iām not bad at crafting on my free time and I donāt like direct combat but usually the characters Iāve played are quite dark and arrogant (I used to go more for politics and strategics) I feel kinda out of the comfort zone which is also funā¦ In which nation are you? 
Iām Highguard myself. I know of a few Scottish players in both Dawn and Varushka; if you join the respective facebook groups Iām sure you could find some people to connect with.

Varushka will suit a dark character, Dawn will suit an arrogany one

Thank you very much! Thatās quite helpful! (Iāll have to make a facebook account but hey it was about time I guess). Still, I will work on the character and create a more clear image.
Oh thank you very much! Iāll have that in mind (it kinda sums it up pretty clearly!).
I am coming from Canada and I do not know anyone in England. It be hard to get lost because I do not have a guide to show me. which way to EMPIRE.

Iāve been haunting the Profound Decisions website for about 5 years now, having never really had anyone closer than 3,000 miles who was into the same stuff as me. In spite of this last year I decided that come hell or high water that I would attend Empire, even if it meant popping up a one man tent and going in blind. I was scrolling through a few of the fabulous photo albums from the event photographers and spotted a mate of mine, who I had no idea went to Empire and sent it to her (which was amazing because she had the best stink face going). This was just before E4 last year and I was in no way confident enough with my kit to jump in that early but they and another friend of mine had been coming for years with the Marchers and really graciously said I was welcome with them anytime. Iād already been working on my Navarr kit and I knew I wouldnāt be able to sink as much money and passion into it if I switched nations just to be with them IC, though weāve worked out a story involving some treacherous land nearby a trod and helping the safe passage of some cheeky pigs which explains why Iām close enough to camp IC with them.
Even though everyone Iāve interacted with on the Facebook page has been more than welcoming, Iām very insecure about my kit and trying to drum up some roleplay with others from the Navarr who I have no prior connection to without putting my foot in my mouth! Iām worried Iāll make one tiny mistake and let it get to me and Iāll end up sitting in my tent in self-imposed exile. Iām hoping the roleplay Gods will come through and Iāll just stick it out but those first few minutes on Friday night are going to be a test!
I know this is an older thread but if you do still want to try and work out some vague plot as a starting point between Hiraeth and Lucia Iād love to hear more about her.

So your first language is Spanish? This is one of the languages used in the IC foreign nation called the Asavean Archipelago:
https://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/empire-wiki/Asavean_Archipelago
On that page it says, āThe focus of the Empire campaign is on the Empire and its citizens, and while this information can be used to create backgrounds or inform role-playing on the field; it is not intended that players portray characters from this foreign nation without discussion with Profound Decisions.ā
It might be worth discussing with Profound Decisions (email backgrounds@profounddecisions.co.uk to discuss) to see if you can play a character who is now an Imperial Citizen of one of the Imperial nations, but joined the Empire fairly recently after growing up in the Asavean Archipelago. If they let you, this would give a reason why your character knows an Asavean language very well but is not quite so fluent and familiar with the Imperial language.
