MOCKZ
Backyard Warfare
The year is 2061, times have changed over the decades, and technology has boomed. Cloning, genetic tailoring, anti-aging, immunity to diseases, are all great leaps that have been taken. War, no longer exists, peace reigning over the world. But people need violence in their lives, the excitement, the adrenaline rush, the fear of winning and losing. So it was that the search for a new exciting form of entertainment came to be researched, and SuperGen was at the head of the race.
At first, some young Geneticists had developed a way for them to prepackage blank slates, for humans, no taller than an inch and a half, completely devoid of sex, or race, that could be developed by those who purchase them, and turned into the race, genders of the owner’s choice. They could create massive, yet tiny civilizations capable of great achievements, building cities, and creating their own art, religious beliefs, and Governmental systems. Unfortunately things would not stay that way, as only selling MockZ was not lucrative.
So SuperGen began to make lines of weapons, for the MockZ, Military Uniforms, Military Vehicles even, all of them completely and 100% real for the tiny humans that would be using them. This business tactic allowed them to sell more accessories, and sell more MockZ since so many would die in the combat to come. So MockZ owners everywhere began to arm their people with World War II tech level weapons, and vehicles, and began to wage massive wars in neighborhoods, making Alliances, and conquering the lands around them for their MockZ…
In this roleplay you will be taking on the role of a MockZ owner, a full sized human being who has committed quite a bit of money to purchasing, and advancing their MockZ civilization in both military might, and every day comfort. Your MockZ are regular human beings, except that they are between a inch, and an inch and a half. You will roleplay interacting with other owners, and having your MockZ interact with other nations of MockZ in a neighborhood sized area. There will be some game mechanics in the RP, such as controlling territory via a map, but the ultimate goal of this RP is to have fun, and create amazing stories.
MockZ, What are they?
When a customer first purchases their MockZ they will receive a sealed box, that Is container freezing that which is inside. When opening it, you will find so many tubes of frozen bodies, each of them a blank gray slate to work on. Then you will also find a console in which you can completely customize every aspect of these bodies, from skin color, hair color, to sex, build etc.
Now MockZ may be purchased from stores, and created in labs, but they are living breathing creatures, intelligent, and understanding of their own existence. When MockZ were first created, there was great debate as to whether the creation of these beings should be shut down, but money lining pockets, and promises of shares soon ended the debates and it was approved and pushed through, making MockZ one of the biggest selling products in the world, that was 10 years ago.
When MockZ are born (defrosted, and dumped out of their tube), they appear exactly as you created them, with knowledge of language, simple math, reading, writing, and your name. The first two weeks of their life is the most important, as that is when they soak up the most information, and knowledge you teach them, SuperGen has posted hundreds of education videos online for your MockZ to watch. Unfortunately these did not include War Tutorials, in which MockZ owners must find other ways to educate their MockZ in the ways of War.
Rules of Engagement!
Combat Between Mockz is very closely watched to be sure that no weapons technology surpasses that of World War 2, and that which would be considered WMDs, which are against the laws placed over owning MockZ small scale bombings, and such being allowed, but nothing larger than that. It is also stated that the owners of MockZ themselves cannot physically get involved in combat, and abusing such things would violate the purchasing agreement of MockZ, and cause SuperGen to come retrieve all your MockZ.
Building your MockZ
Yes, it’s realized that between all the different nation choices you may not want to stick with just one. That is perfectly fine, also depending on an Aesthetic aspect you choose for your MockZ does not decide skin color, and culture. You can easily have Africans who wear German Nazi Uniforms, and have a US style Democracy. Other than that, everything is up for grabs consider the anti-aging of the MockZ and the fact that they are essentially immortal when it comes to diseases, and dying of old age, staying perpetually at whatever age you created them.
Now, even though you can mix things, it is very important you be careful about what you mix. You do not want to buy your MockZ several hundred American rifles, then buy them a bunch of Russian Rifles, the learning of different weapons can be hard in a military environment, and makes it difficult for your MockZ to train. The same can be said of vehicles, etc.
Mechanics
MockZ RP works just as any other RP, it’s a freeform RP, with only a few different mechanics where you actually purchase troops. Keeping track of your troops at any given time can be difficult, but please keep up with as best you can. Everyone starts off with 10k dollars to spend on MockZ, and their accessories. Then every subsequent month in the RP you will receive 500 Dollars to replenish MockZ, accessories with etc.
Le Map
The Map is very important, to approximately understand distance from each other, how to attack each other, what we each have in our territories etc. Each player will save a copy of the map, and draw out a section on the map in a color not previously used, and submit it to me privately, so that I can add you to the map. In your drawn out section list several areas, listed by letter as different important places where you have building, a city, base, etc. On the map will not be listed underground tunnels as they do not actually hold ground. Rather your drawn out sections will only include ground held topside.
Price List!
Everyone Starts off with 10,000$
All MockZ purchases come with necessary food
(Disclaimer: I realize the prices are rather all encompassing, and that’s totally not how it would be if it were actual war. But this isn’t actual war, it’s past time entertainment for people, and they’re basically buying these things from a toy store. )
