Gah forget it. No time for this RP stuff anymore.

Aw man. It sucks to hear that. I hope things are okay.

Sorry to see you go! @Ink- no problem! One character is fine, and doesnt mess up anything. We now have room for a vice or rear admiral character to anyone interested.

So is there a state religion? can I make one up?

The Kingdom is fairly religiously tolerant. I mention a common religion among the aristocracy under the faction section that's sortve the defacto state religion/religion of much of the human aristocracy. It is loosely confuciany in flavor, but it's not exclusive of other religions and it's not an established church or cult. You can feel free to make up common/powerful religions in the Kingdom though! I'd rather stay away from 'repressive medieval church in space', but otherwise go hog wild!

hmm well an idea of mine was to have the captain of my vessel from a family heavily rooted and supportive of a particular religion/cult and that would influence how his ship runs, mandatory sermons, screening new crew to ensure only faithful are permitted to serve aboard. And as the ship underwent it's numerous re-fittings and repairs over the last thousand years it influenced how the ship looks. Gothic angels/ gargoyles or whatever as figureheads and even gun ports. Added probably on the dime of the my characters family. I don't know. it's either that or something else.

Interested in joining. Any particular fleet niche needs filling?

someone who can bring me my coffee But seriously now, it was mentioned that we need a rear admiral a bit ago. So maybe one of those'll be swell. Also, welcome!

finally got my char transferred into the Char tab.

So, how soon until we can post in character?

That sounds good to me! I mean, you can flesh out the existing religion or as I said make one up! It's social/political power etc etc is up to you. Basically I'd rather not have a version of the 40k Ecclesiarchy be a thing, but other than that anything is fair game. Combining the gothic aesthetic with something more based on graeco-roman or Indian religion might be interesting. Stocking your ship with bulls for sacrifices before a battle :) @Skylar: Frankly, more human captains of cruisers is what we need. A rear- or vice- admiral is a possibility as well. As for ship types, feel free to innovate and play what you want to play!

I'm working on the IC now. This RP took off faster than I expected, so I'm scrambling a bit to keep up. I'll try to start the IC by tomorrow.

Enalais, is your character going to be aboard The Rook?

Enalais, is your character going to be aboard The Rook?

I think so, since it mostly is a carrier vessel right? It makes more sense to be there. Unless commodore explicitly states they want my guy on their ship.

Yeah. It's mainly a carrier with long range weaponry. Sounds good to me.

@Skylar: Frankly, more human captains of cruisers is what we need. A rear- or vice- admiral is a possibility as well. As for ship types, feel free to innovate and play what you want to play!

Roger that. Logistics-centric, hedonistic aristocrat rear admiral on the way.

Sounds good, Sky. @ all, I've had a somewhat busy day. I will try to get some progress made tonight on the IC intro so we can get this shindig moving and keep up the momentum. For those of you who want to get started on their IC posts, all of our characters will begin the RP at a strategy briefing in the Orbital Fortress Invincible in orbit over the fortress planet of Odros in the Valyrian System. Some things your characters would know: - the King has just declared the Reconquest, to much fanfare. He himself will be leading the first royal expeditionary force into the relatively lightly defended Ur System. - Your character has been assigned to the second royal exp. fleet, under the command of Admiral Rutherford and the overall command of the Grand Duke von Ravenstein. This force is bigger fleet wise and ground force wise than the first royal exp. force, but it is tasked with taking the Maalik System, which is known to be a strategic nightmare and home to the most powerful remnants of the Arian Jihad. - the Kingdom just barely survived ten years of intense warfare, and not everyone is eager for more. - in the interests of keeping things moving, the talking part of the strategic briefing will be minimal. Have your characters show up and I will take it from there. The Grand Duke will not be inviting questions. Don't worry if you don't introduce your character in this way, it's not required that your character attend the briefing or have an IC post describing attending. - the Second Royal Exp. Fleet will be large, with plenty of NPCs. It's composition and command structure will be detailed at the strategic briefing. - please work with your fellow players to work out pre-existing relationships among our characters, and keep in mind that everyone has been fighting together already for ten years. People have been doing a great job already of this, so keep up the good work. - the RP is still open, no immediate pressure for people to finsh CSes before the IC starts. New characters will be able to enter the role-play at any time.

If anyone wants to establish a relationship with my guy beforehand just Pm me.

Same for me.

Hm, I've been wanting to do an RP of this style for a while now (Controlling fleets instead of warships, but hey, I'll take what I can get). I'll write up a character sheet, if you guys still have room for one more.

One of the RP's players decided to make this chat: http://us23.chatzy.com/35039413585443 From my understanding, it's temporary. Being that the RP belongs to him, I'd imagine that Flagg is more than welcome to create his own chat room once he's able to, so I'm hoping that no toes were stepped on.
