The Death of a Monarch

Welcome to The Imperial Jasmanian Empire...Our Great Emperor, Pu-Ling has fallen ill and passed on. Now the Imperial Senate struggles to find a new heir to the throne and factions throughout the empire are rising. In the native colony of Dunjal natives are hailing a mystery figure as their new 'Vox'. Within our very own cities the Zenrōkyō, a Radical-Left trade-union, has begun its ascent to popularity in the politics of the Empire as their leader Jackmier Karkaff declares 'The Death of the Empire and Rise of the Republic'. Now, as our empire faces its darkest hour. We see the effects of the death of a Monarch...

The Imperial Jasmanian Watch: The Imperial Jasmanian Watch, or IJW, is the policing faction of the Empire. Since the creation of the Empire hundreds of years ago, The Watch has stood guard prepared to defend their royal majesty and his/her noble ministry and senate. With the rising tensions in the homeland and in Dunjal, The Watch has been ordered to act as though Martial Law had been declared. Now corrupt in the ranks has increased and the brutality of the officers has become disgusting. Great change is at hand for the Watch and her royal service-men.

The Zenrōkyō: The Zenrōkyō is a Radical-Left underground trade-union that had been banned by the late Emperor Ling. Now with the death Emperor the Unionists have risen from their hiding places and begun rioting in the streets. With each drop of blood that is spilled on either side; tensions rise and more violence is caused. Within the Zenrōkyō group, there is already talk of armed-revolution at hand, but the issue is still under discussion...

The Native Dunjal Tribe: Many years ago, Dunjal was taken by Jasmanian Royal Navy on a expedition led by Admiral Park-Sung-Jen. Ever since the defeat of the Tribes to Jasmania, the people of the small island have been taxed, opressed, and many sent to labor camps. Now with the death of Pu-Ling, the Natives see the time has come to regain their rightful land from the Jasmanians!

The Citizens of Jasmania: Within the mainland of the Empire, there are two classes. The Nobles, largely Officials within the Senate and families that own factories and farms; and the 'Peasants' these are the lower-class citizens that work in the factories, shops, and all other types of employment besides Imperial business. The life of a Peasant is decent, as long as you are smart and avoid gangs and the Watch. With the death of the Emperor the Nobles fear for their continued nobility and control within the nation, and the non-Zenrōkyō Citizens see it as a dark time of change ahead...

Jasmanians: Jasmanians are the accepted nationality of the Empire, and are the majority race. Jasmanians are often looked better upon then say a Dunjal native or one from the mystic Far-Lands.

Dunjal Natives: The Dunjal had lived on their island for thousands of years, and only two hundred years ago did the Jasmanian tyrants appear on their beaches. After a bloody war the Dunjal island was declared property of the Empire and the Dunjal third-class citizens. Natives that live on the Jasmanian homeland are often laborers, cleaners and the like, and are treated as such by the Jasmanian nobility.

Far-Landers: Far-Landers are men and women from 'The Far-Land' a mysterious jungle-like grouping of islands that rests some ways from the Empire. Far-Landers are the oddity of the Empire's citizen ranking and are simply second-class. From Jasmanian exploration of the Far-Land, it is said a majority of the Far-Land people believe in Black-Magic. This is only rumor of course...

I was worried to post this in the OOC section with a Character Application due to the fact that this RP DOES have factions that I require people in from the start. So if I get enough people interested in being in a faction with a rank I will get a ranking system and applications set up and post the OOC (even though everything above this was the OOC).
