I have a suggestion to add to what you wrote about a large part of war being not knowing what your opponent is up to; Alongside the seperate parties idea, we could disable player visibility on the map. Knowing where the enemy is is just as bad as knowing what he is up to.
Just so we're all on the same page, here are the people who are in. (Updated)
Linus - Tristram
Spartan4317 - FrostFang
Skateronu - FrostFang
GalacticCarpet - FrostFang
We need more people for Tristram lol
My character sheet Character Name: Sebastian Odinbrook Title: The Keeper Age: 25 Gender: Male Specialty: Sebastian specializes in hunting, exploration, and architectural design. Affiliation (FrostFang/Tristram): FrostFang Personality: Calm and collected, he is known for well calculated moves, as well as keeping the morale of his comrades up. Though he is usually an upbeat and joking young man, he drives home the importance of unification and loyalty. Biography: Sebastian was a warrior of high respect, even though he was only near the middle ranks. His attitude and mindset to accomplish any goal by any means earned him an invitation into the secret society known as FrostFang. This society was born out of necessity, and played many secretive moves during the war. Eventually, FrostFang disbanded, shamed by the atrocities they had committed in the name of 'peace'. Each member took and oath, swearing to never speak of the existence of the group ever again and destroyed all traces of it.
Four years had passed since the end of the war in Sebastian's world when another broke out. This time, an unknown enemy had begun its assault on the kingdom. Many lives were lost, and Sebastian had been taken as a prisoner of war. He and a few others were promptly framed for the murder of many innocent people in the neighboring allied country. With the unknown enemy moving up the coastline, Sebastian and his friends had been declared rogue agents that were assisting the enemy and thus, tried for treason; an offense punishable by death. However, a friend of Sebastian reasoned with the king of the country and instead had them stripped of their ranks and titles, and were immediately cast from their world, into another.
It was here that Sebastian had been faced with a new, more ruthless enemy; the Tristram. After surviving the first attack from this new danger, Sebastian found it necessary to re-establish the secret guild known as FrostFang. The only way to defeat a monster, was to become one.

Seeing the opportunity in this, he decided to join and quickly rose to a power in the Tristram Faction, becoming one of their most valuable assets for thievery today.
Your character sheet seems a bit one-dimensional. There isn't much to it, except for a handful of cliches. Rework it and add some depth to it.
Also, rule change:
-After discussing it in-depth with my associate, duplicating as a whole will now be strictly prohibited. If you are caught doing it at all, you're done. No questions asked.
Next up, announcement:
-In a little over an hour, my associate and I will host a sort of 'meet and greet' with those accepted into the game. This will not be story based at all. We simply want to get a feel for how everyone gets along in a party chat. So be yourself. Goof off, make jokes, laugh, curse, just have fun with us. We will also discuss the schedule for The Winter War, we will tackle any questions/problems, and we will take any suggestions you may have. So, I urge those involved to be online. Those who I have told to rework their character sheets are welcome, as well since final judgement has not been issued.
Character Name: Theriath Title: The Undetected Age: 16 Gender: M Specialty: Stealth Killing, Stealing. Affiliation: Tristram Personality: (Real Life): Nice, Respectful, Works well with others. (Character): Out of the way, sneaking, avoid conflict unless provoked. Biography: Theriath, a son born to two peasant parents. One was a miner and one was a forager, and in his younger years he was very poor. In his time, school was for the upper class citizens who could afford it. When he was only 6 years old, his mother and father were killed in a fire that swept the city, leaving nothing left but rubble. Theriath, survived by staying in the basement of the shack his parents lived in, being made out of stone, it was fire proof, and also below the surface. Climbing out of the basement, he was scooped up by a family friend, another peasant that grew up with the boys father. He told the young boy he heard of a distant town, much more suited and well built than the poverty-stricken village they lived in now. So they set out, dragging themselves through snow, rain, hail, and the brutal desert... until they saw it. The tall gates of the town were off in the distant, waving under the heat. But was it just a mirage?
Midnight. The boy wakes up among other children sleeping in there beds. What was this place? and why are the so many other children? The sweat on his face glistened in the moonlight shining through the small window. He looked out, it was pitch black. He saw these strange things, they were pale white, and extremely skinny. Why did they have those sharp arrows? He retreated from a window when a man opened the door and dragged him out of the room. He explained that his parents were killed in a fire and he found the child and another man passed out outside of the city gates. He told him he was in Boltom, the city of Stone. Each day from then on, he was given a slice of bread and a small cup of water. Living conditions were horrible. As he grew up living in the orphanage, he learned the mighty skill he posses today - Thievery. But plenty of kids stole things, candy pieces, extra bread and water, wool for blankets. So what set him apart? He was never caught. Theriath became known as the "Undetected." His peers adored him. On his 18th birthday, (he kept track with chalk marks on the wall) he escaped. Behind a painting in his room was a long passageway leading to the outside world. He took with him some bread, water, and a wooden sword he had crafted from stolen toy parts.
His journey continued through out his life, and his name became known world wide. He lived not as an orphan, or peasant as his parents had, but a nomad, living a good life because of the things he could take. Theriath was a brute known to all, spoke of in legends, but never discovered. Until now.

Your character sheet is better, but doesn't address how he ended up in this new world, which is a completely separate dimension from every place the other characters involved are from. Remember, just about everyone in the world had been ripped from their previous realms and placed here.

Other than that, you're good to go.
Awesome, thanks! I added you a while ago, my GT is GTTLxPRODIGY. And I didn't realize it was a different world. I'll update that for you.
It seems I have to make note of the fact that Tristram and FrostFang haven't been occupying this new land for years. At most, it's only been two or three months. So there's no way people could have had encounters with Tristram for years.
That being said, I like your character, Connor. Switch up the bio so that it flows with the timeline as well as the change in dimensions and you'll be fine.
Announcement:
-The Meet and Greet will begin shortly. Those interested in participating should be sure to add me on Xbox Live and send me a brief message so I know who to invite.

Sorry, I didn't see that part, I added my character sheet though! Thanks for the heads up.
He just reminds me too much of that one particular captain from Bleach. Try reworking it a bit and you'll be just fine.
