The year is 3017.

50 Earth-based years ago, Humanity was at the height of its glory. Technology was advancing rapidly, war was nonexistent, and life was simply wonderful. After a strange disease began to appear on a distant colony, the fall of humanity began.

The Crawl, a strange disease which turned all afflicted into a rotting, amoebic mass, began spreading. Anyone touched became infected almost instantly. At first only distant colonies were affected, but as The Crawl grew greater, so did its intellect. It soon commanded parts of itself to attack and steer star-ships to infect new planets. One by one the worlds that humanity had taken so long to conquer were covered in dead, writhing flesh. Soon, all that was left was Earth. As the world fell under siege, armies desperately holding back the coming tide of death, those who could created a large mass of mobile space stations, took what they could with them, and left.

As the stations travelled far away from Earth, they found themselves alone, the last living things for light years, within the timeless darkness of space. The stations, suffering from lack of various supplies which other stations produced, soon interlocked into one. However, with unity comes conflict.

Will this last bastion of humanity become a place of peace, hope, and prosperity? Will war tear the station itself apart? Or shall The Crawl return to claim the last of its prey?

Only time will tell.

Thanks for reading! This roleplay is about a bunch of different people living together on a space station! However, you do not necessarily control in-depth individuals, but rather an entire group, with its own ideology and ways of dealing with things. The interesting part will be how these different groups interact, and how long they can last against the nearly infinite enemy they've escaped.

APPLICATION SHEET INFO:

Does your group have a name? If so, what is it?:

What sort of government would your group lead towards? (Feel free to describe in detail):

Does your group have what most would consider a leader? If so, what is their name?:

Does your group prefer peace over conflict?:

What is the general background of your station's inhabitants? Soldiers? Scientists? Farmers? Get creative!:

Does your group believe in benefiting the greater good or looking out for oneself?:

What area of space-survival does your station specify in? (Choose between Agricultural, Technological, Industrial, Military, or Exploration):

Did anyone in your station bring any items of interest? (This doesn't include normal rations, clothing, or tools. This is for items that you may not normally find on your average space-station; such as an orbital cannon, defunct cloning facility, or samples of The Crawl. Do your best not to make it too overpowered. For example; you can have an orbital cannon, but it either doesn't have ammo or is broken.):

HERE'S MY FILLED OUT VERSION:



*SPECIAL NOTE: It is implied that your station has at least 250 people, enough rations for one month, basic clothing, and possibly some work stations for construction, repair, etc, as well as ample fuel for powering the station.)

**ANOTHER SPECIAL NOTE: Try your best not to base your station off of what other people have. These stations weren't initially designed to benefit one another, they were their own separate entities. Keep that in mind.

That's all for now! If you need any other info, please PM or message me! We'll start when we have around 4-5 players, but no more than 5.

THIS ROLEPLAY WILL BE CLOSED TO NEW MEMBERS ONCE IT HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED! Take your chance now!

STATIONS:

1. Agricoli Terra (scifidude47)
2. Autocratic Union of Mars Nationalists (A.U.M.N) (Smoke With Me)

I love this idea and am very much interested. I'll be throwing down my sheet in a little bit and would like to use this post as a placeholder of sorts.

Group Name: Autocratic Union of Mars Nationalists (A.U.M.N)

Group Governmental Basis: Founded on the basic principles of fascism and republicanism, the A.U.M.N has formed a system of government that mixes the two ideologies. The group functions on a single goal: the advancement of those originating from the Mars colony, no matter the expense of others. Having felt oppressed and unrepresented by the governments on Earth and with a horrifying plague advancing, the colonists united in an attempt at carving out their own power in the galaxy's weakest moments. The foundation of the A.U.M.N can be traced to it's current leader, Sir Godwin D'Agincourte. Although there is no official documentation of rules and regulations, all authority rests in Godwin's hands and thus, his word is law. Seen as a supreme leader who saved the men and women of Mars from the destruction of the Crawl through the theft and reclamation of a government station, the Mars Nationalists offer their allegiance with little reluctance. The most loyal are given higher positions of power and authority over others, which has unfortunately created a political spectrum within itself where the appointed officials are sucked into a world of intrigue against one another in order to climb the ladder and gain D'Agincourte's favor. Godwin has no clear successor but it is assumed that the high officers underneath him will vie for dominance once the time comes.

Currently, previous officers of the law on the Mars colony are seen as the A.U.M.N's military force, training more civilians to handle weaponry and face combat should the need arise. Most of the colonists give them the utmost respect and a majority of these officers are given positions of power by Godwin, further reinforcing his rule with their access to equipment and their expertise.

Group Leader: Godwin D'Agincourte. Born and raised on the Mars colony, Godwin's future was seemingly limited. Although he had dreamed of a career in the arts and had sought a higher education, his family simply could not afford the luxury of sending him to Earth or another metropolitan planet. Instead, Godwin spent most of his life as a colony police officer, following in the foot steps of his father and keeping the population of mostly miners and agriculturists under control along with the rest of the Mars security forces. It wasn't until the Great Mine Collapse, where PlexiCo's largest mining facility collapsed and had trapped over one thousand workers, that Godwin became interested in politics. While the corporations of Earth ignored the pleas for help from it's workers, the nations of Terra were too caught up by red tape to do anything. The colony of Mars watched as time went by and one by one, the workers succumbed to starvation and fatigue.

Organizing a political union of workers shortly after, Godwin worked hard at petitioning the Earth governments to grant the Mars colony independence from it's corporate contracts. The union was unsuccessful in almost all of it's attempts for years to come and the population of the red planet started to become restless as their plight was continuously ignored by those in power. Secession Day, a holiday currently celebrated by the A.U.M.N, was the day in which the workers of Mars and it's new politicians had come to the conclusion that they were a nation in their own right, and could no longer depend on others for political freedom. Deciding to strike out on their own, the Autocratic Union of Mars Nationalists was formed and officially seceded from the nations and governments that laid claim to the planet, and ignored all previous obligations and contracts to the corporations which employed and sponsored them.

Although large portions of the population disagreed with this rising movement, the A.U.M.N held various positions of power on Mars and cut those who refused to align themselves off from what ever they had originally belonged to. Despite the fact that the A.U.M.N was headed by Godwin at the time, he was mostly seen as a figurehead and adviser at the most, representing the spirit of those in the Martian plight. It wasn't until the Crawl began to tear it's way toward Mars that Godwin became something more, when he organized the raid and capture of a passing space station that belonged to the New Italian Government of Earth. Executing most of it's inhabitants, the colonists who had allied themselves with the A.U.M.N took over the station and escaped certain death, taking their families with them, and abandoning those who didn't pledge their loyalty to the cause.

Prefers peace or conflict?: The A.U.M.N's interest are of the highest priority and thus if their success depends on taking materials, supplies, or even entire stations, the extremely loyal population is willing to fight and die for the benefit their brothers, sisters, and leader, should the command be given. However, Godwin D'Agincourte is entirely willing to cooperate with other stations as long as his people benefit the most out of what ever deal is made.

Population Background: Although a majority of the station's inhabitants were simply colonist miners and farmers, a lower percentage were security forces and police officers with official training and equipment access. Seeing the possibility of rising hostility from the last survivors of Humanity, Godwin has ordered that this impromptu military force start regulating and structuring itself whilst also training other colonists for the inevitability of station based warfare.

The few Italians on board who were not executed are regarded as sub human among the A.U.M.N and are only left alive due to the interest in their knowledge. These people include the Head of Security, the Captain, Navigator, Plant Manager, and Head of Archives, along with a small number of factory workers to be used as expendable leverage. It is assumed that these men and women would betray the A.U.M.N at the drop of a hat, considering that they are prisoners. There is no doubt that they will be executed once they are no longer useful.

Greater good or self benefit?: The A.U.M.N is entirely self beneficiary.

Station's Focus: The station that the A.U.M.N inhabits was stolen from the New Italian Government of Earth. The station itself was seemingly created to serve the purpose of the military at an industrial level, the New Italians likely aiming to mass produce weaponry to fight the Crawl. The station mostly consists of factory levels, machinery, and assembly plants. Most of this is rendered useless as there are no materials on board the station. However, there are also two blueprint rooms which contain the schematics and information on how to make weaponry and armor from the Italians, a mess hall and crews' quarters for the previous occupants, and a very small armory for the previous security staff.

Items of Interest: Aside from the factory station itself, the current occupants brought with them a few things which could give them the upper hand if need be. The entire police force, consisting of thirty five men among the few hundred colonists, are each equipped with their own rifle and sidearm along with ammunition for both. However, they also brought enough sidearms to arm twenty more men and enough ammunition to last two firefights or so if all fifty five combatants are in battle.

Sounds good, Smoke! Adding to roster.

I was wondering, will there be empty stations that the players may end up fighting for/attempting to divide? Also, will there be NPC stations run by you or anyone who might claim themselves as an unbiased GM?

The existence of NPC stations is kind of undecided as of now.

As for empty stations, they will be a thing; and nations will need them for scrap metal and tech.

As far as your nation is aware at the beginning, however, you and the other Player-Stations are all that's left of mankind.

Since there have at least been a few views of this, I will go ahead and post it in the real Nation RP section and hope for the best.

Definitely interested...would I get an app up here or in the OOC?

Preferably in the OOC, thanks.

gowia, I'll put your sheet in, but please be sure to put in your app in the Char section of the actual RP whenever you can.
