I'm actually just throwing this out there as a potential idea. It's something I haven't seen done a lot (or indeed, ever) in regards of Nation RPs. Whether I actually take this a step further depends entirely on the reactions it gets.

The premise of this RP is as follows:
    -The story focuses on a single planet that is desired by multiple nations and races for some reason or another. Probably resources or strategic advantage.

    -The nations or factions involved are not in a state or cold war or near war, they are in all out war. We begin in the midst of combat.

    -The RP focus is the war over this single planet

    -The narrative is delivered -solely- through the perspective of expendable and temporary characters. Any strategy or attacks by your side is, say, expressed by orders from higher ups that you do not directly control.

    -The idea is that you do not develop a race or faction that is soley composed of super bland, unoriginal individuals who, for example, all are super honourable and love war. We would be looking at a mix of characters who are launched on missions in the campaign and they all feel different about it. Maybe you have a squad of characters who want to rebel? Maybe a group that wants to defect to another side? A dutiful selection of other characters? Who knows. You will have some veterans, some newbies.


Hmm.

Any takers for something like this, or am I spouting what is essentially wet verbal poo all around? Because i'm not even sure if i'll do this at all.

We'll see.

Meh. Maybe. Doesn't really sound like a NRP, though.

Sounds interesting that's for sure.

I assume the nations would be character made?

Naturally! It's just a little idea I keep coming back to now and again after reading an article on, like... a different interpretation of Star Wars. Lame, I know, but it discusses what the whole war would have been like from the perspectives of basic grunts, and the real effect it would have had on those who do the fighting; rather than focusing on the heroes and the great leaders involved.

That was my basic idea, past that, who knows?

I am creating the ICk now. I assume you are OK with that, you expressed that you were hoping somebody might like this and turn it into something. Also, sorry for the delay. Viruses.

It's an open idea, you can take it if you want.

@GreivousKhanI might still take this idea up, it'll probably be pretty easy considering all the hours i've lost at work (owch). If you'd be interested in working with me on something like this, hit me up?
