OOC: Links
These are some sites that you may find useful for playing a character from this period in History:
Age of Sail - A livejournal community with links to icons, meta and essays
Wikipedia on the French Revolution - Self explanatory, really, but a good place for checking facts and figures, and probably the best place to find information.
The Pimpernel Phrase Book - A guide to the language of the time, including curses, government organisations, as well as slang terms used by the lower-classes and by revolutionaries. Also full of some very interesting facts.
Historical Locations - Images of the places around at the time in which the game is set, useful for descriptions or photo-posting or both these buildings and also of similar (fictional?) buildings of the same period. Locations in both France and England.
1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue - On the Gutenberg project a book of slang from around the time period. Very useful for swearwords.
