Space Nation/War RP with a twist

Ah I see, my mistake.

Mine as well

May as well let people see what I got done this morning before life took over. Expect much more tomorrow.

The Transorganic Alliance Party

The Transorganic Alliance Party, commonly just referred to as the Party, or the All Party began life as a political movement in the Arcturus Imperium several decades before its collapse. The movement was started among middle-class traders and among former veterans and current soldiers. These people shared one thing in common, what they as 'forced' cybernetic augmentation at the hands of the Imperium. Whether physically forced as part of their service or economically forced by circumstance, the founding members of the All Party fought for the rights of the early transhumans. It was however, a difficult fight to have in the oppressive Arcturus state. The Imperium began cracking down hard on the Party and overtime began punishing regular citizens for even a murmur of collusion with the organization. This dogmatic crack down only fanned the rebellious flames amongst the oppressed transhumans, leading to greater angst.

Necessity called for greater measures and over the decades the Party became associated with more radical movements, eventually becoming synonymous with transhuman terrorism. Although terrorism is an act, not a cause, many looked past the growing militant ambitions of the All Party and flocked to its banner across the Imperium. As more and more people felt the biting need to transcend their organic shackles, the influence and threat posed by the All Party grew significantly.

The OOC will be up soonish, I'm still puzzling through how to do this. I am henceforth closing the door for major powers. By the rule of first come first serve, the major powers at the beginning of the war will be Darkmatter and Azathoth's nations along with my own. Darkmatter and Aza, please send me NS's and race descriptions for your nations. Use whatever format you like, but please include two perks and three flaws, as well as number of planets etc etc. The Grand Duchy has eleven planets, loosely held under feudal arrangements, and your respective factions should have less than that. The Duchy is located in the Agamenos Sector, and presumably your factions are located within that sector, or nearby. Once we get the OOC moving I'll draw up a map.

Please recall that we will not be RPing as the factions themselves, and presumably everyone will have characters across at least some of the different nations. Also, I hope to collaborate a little with folks on proposed ideas for the history of interaction between all three major powers and the lead up to the conflict which will be the main focus of the RP.

If folks want to add factions, what I'm thinking we'll do is open the door for lesser powers allied with one of the three main antagonists, OR allow people to create subfactions and non-state actors if they are so inclined. Im open to suggestions on this point and will provide clearer instructions in the OOC.

We could use a crumbling former major power, in which all three other powers are meddling to their own advantage, a la the Spanish Civil War. If no one fills this role, I am going to adapt the Grand Duchy to fill it. Further, since we have two totalitarian states and a feudal autocracy, we could use a monarchy or republic or something as a smaller power, perhaps a fiefdom/vassal/protectorate of the Duchy. Something perhaps more sympathetic than any of the major powers, but that isnt just AMERICA IN SPACE.

This is a character RP first and foremost, and by submitting nation/faction proposals everyone agrees that other players are allowed to RP in, partially control and add to your creation. You will not necessarily control, and certainly not control entirely, any of the factions you create.

I'll take the role of the Republic/Smaller Power.

Expect my NS later this afternoon. It's 9:37 am now expect it sometime before 9:37 pm. Sorry I can't be more specific, I know I'll get time to sit down and type today just not sure when that'll be.

Edit:

The All Party Flag

[Flagg]

No rush!

[Darkmatter]

I like my flag flagg but the edges on the tomoe are annoying me

So just to clarify; you want number of planets, but do you want details on them? And two perks and three flaws? Do you want any other key info?

EDIT

Do our nations have to be strictly human, I'd prefer if it was transorganic as opposed to transhuman. Being racially diverse would help the All Party to sell itself as not being the oppressive fascist state that it is.

My nation is entirely alien.

Right. I'm selling my race as transorganics who don't care what they may have biologically been before.

You can give me as much detail as you like. Whatever you don't provide may be filled in by other players over the course of the IC. Not necessarily a bad thing.

[Darkmatter]

I'll keep working on it myself too, it's a concept I'd like to use in other NRPs down the line.

OOC will be up tomorrow. Sorry for the delays. Everyone check out the chatzy!

I do apologise, I am still very interested in this RP but due to real life responsibilities I am going to have to withdraw. I will keep an eye on the OOC however so that if there does come a time where I'm free I can still join - if that is okay with you.

No need to apologize! You're always welcome to jump in whenever you feel you have the time.

OOC is up. It's a tad incomplete atm, but that will be fixed by tomorrow. http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/4339/posts/ic
