This story starts around 430 BC, just before the outbreak of the war between the Athenians and the Spartans. It's mainly for political and military strategy and the causes of our war will be the same as the causes of the actual war (Athenian aggression throughout the region and Spartan paranoia), but we can spin it in our own direction after 431 BC.
We can decide how far-flung and how lasting this thing will be -- it doesn't have to end with the burning of Athens in 404, but however we want it to end. No particular attention to historical detail is required, just maybe a few major characters (Alcibiades, Agis, Cimon, Perikles, etc.) and definitely some geography. Other than that, I think it would be best played as an open-ended free-for-all.

Feel free to have two characters, but please keep them both on the same side (Athenian or Spartan), unless one of them is going to get bumped off. In that case, you can have one from each side.
EDIT: I did RP very well a long time ago, but this is my first foray into the new rules of Fantasy RP. If you have any suggestions or corrections as to what gets posted where, etc., I'm always all-ears.
