Hallo there. I'm Andreyich, your average status board annoyance, maker of special snowflake characters, purveyor of memes and guy who has yet to run an RP on this site cuz reasons. I like historical shit, darker themes but not in the le ebin buttsecks with a knife way, more in the way of making the world seem very cynical in stories.
So here is the premise of the interest check.
The story starts in China on the day of September 7th 1901, right after the signing of the Boxer Protocol. China is filled with foreign powers from Italians to Japanese, all occupying it in the name of their colonial interests. The Chinese have been forced to sign an unequal treaty, and now the Westerners squabble over what is their's. Russian forces have occupied Manchuria whilst Germans late to the party carry out punitive actions. You are a chess piece within the great game. Anything from a Preacher to a Cossack to a Samurai caste Officer to a Muslim Boxer to an Imperial Chinese Soldier to the British spy. This RP is largely focused on intrigue, and the players more or less trying to put their own side at the front, or are simply there to live out all the horrors. Foreign Soldiers might have to still fight boxers unwilling to surrender and boxers their foreign oppressors, Preachers and humanitarian workers would face ostracization in this foreign land for what their home power did to the land and somehow still help the people. There would be assassinations and maneuvering abroad. I do have a bit of a greater plot planned and some events may be just a tiny bit ahistorical but not to the point of catgirls or magic or some shit being about, just maybe some unrecorded skirmish happening or something of the sort. So, I hope there is some interest! The RP is High-Casual to low-Advanced meaning 2 paragraphs minimum but that is generally frowned upon and 3 is ideal per post. I will post about twice a week and if I do not I will make up for it by rapid firing a week afterwards.
