Take the free stuff.

@Zarkun

I don’t want free stuff. I want a backwards failed state.

[CitrusArms]

Which is, ironically, what attracted the visitor. They could always be backwards and failed about it, of course. More focused on the intruder than any benefit they're reaping, etc.

I'm missing something... Oh, our pirates! Hmm... They probably wouldn't be on a map, though...

[KitsuneWarrior]

Can we move this to an actual IC thread now?

Culture and Tradition: Once, the Teladi valued fair trade and mutual benefit. They saw the future in their business deals, and worked to create the most profit for everyone, so their entire society could rise as one. Slowly, these values fell by the wayside. Now, businessmen of the Teladi Company seek only profit in the largest numbers possible, caring not for service or business partners.

Whether this has come as a response to the changes in the political cosmoscape or independently has yet to be seen.

Kingdom of Glamic

Kingdom of Glamic

Founder, date founded: Chieftain Rangor, 500 A.S.
Current Ruler: Great King Mikan Rein
Homeworld: Norfain
National Ideology: Space hippies
Populations within Nation, approximate percentage of population: Teladi, 75%
Socioeconomic Structure: Spiritualistic monarchy
Culture and Tradition: Renaissance age hippies. There is less invention, and more discovery in old tech, though their discoveries tend to be more terrestrial and pedestrian them anything revolutionary. Art is celebrated, and technomancy, as it is called, is viewed as an art.
History: After having been separated from the Teladi Company by the Black Year, a primarily Teladi planet was left to it's own devices. Thanks to a thick crop of swamp grass present on the planet, among other factors, the people of Glamic are slow going and slothful, eager to use old tech to take care of their needs.

Teladi

Teladi

General Description: This reptilian race used to be cold blooded, two millenia ago. This is reflected in their ancient ship designs, which had heat lamps and warming beds everywhere. These are still incredibly popular features, but they do not tend to appear on military craft in the same way.
Notable Abilities: Some Teladi have the ability to camouflage themselves, like a chameleon. Others can climb walls and even ceilings. They make for good spies.
Sapient, Sentient: Yes and yes
Average Physicality: Somewhat weaker than a human, though their tails are strong. Strong, but not dexterous.

Imperial Office of Investigations

Case File 749.888.UL5-1

Subject Name: The Visitor

Report Filed and Issued to IOF by: Investigator Rauk Lau'd'fal

Investigation Period: 2 Month, 17 Days

Investigation Status: Ongoing

Cause for Investigation
*Overseer Murag was the first to say anything. I understand why his was the first report that anything was amiss or in need of attention. When the only complaint to be made is that the fields have been tilled and planted or that new, more viable crops have been sown, there's not much to complain about. I encountered a bit of friction during my investigation, if only because certain individuals failed to understand why anything was being investigated.

Subject Details

Classification | Affiliation Frigate | Unknown

Description According to surveillance footage, the ship in question is approximately the size of a frigate. According to our estimates, there should be room enough on board for a modest crew. The ship itself is composed of four distinct parts. There is a central sphere, surrounded by three spires, all made mostly of Luminium, with wood and metal complementing the design of the central sphere. *Despite direct surveillance footage, we cannot determine how the ship functions. There are no obvious weapons or engines to speak of.

(Image Here)

Known Encounters Interviews with individuals who have encountered the ship's crew all report only one individual. A human woman with the ears and tail of a black fox with white tips. The woman offers help and quickly achieves the labor she takes on before moving on. According to some reports, the ship reacts without her issuing orders. *This is on the occasion that the ship and it's crew make contact with locals. Often, work will be done under the cover of night and the ship with move on before anyone can make a fuss, or so it seems. *She speaks some strange dialect of English

Evidence Besides the work that has been attributed to the visitor, there are other pieces of evidence that can indicate the ship in question has been somewhere. Luminium deposits are often found nearby, wherever the ship has been. Reports confirm this trend. Locations experiencing trouble with aggressive wildlife or other side effects often attributed to Scourge exposure see these incidents decrease sharply.

Capabilities Gauging the ships capabilities on this little information is difficult. Surveillance has seen the ship separating into parts that operate independently to work a field overnight, before the parts rejoined each other and the ship left to its next destination. The ship used active shields and lasers to accomplish tasks, with no discernable hard points or weaponry visible on the exterior. The spires do seem to be the tools of the ship that accomplish the most work, with the central sphere acting as a command pod, but this is just conjecture.

Conclusions

*Most investigations sanctioned by the empire yield more data. I believe the technology that operates the craft in question is something we haven't seen before. *The allegiances of the subject cannot be determined at this time, though The Visitor seems to have benevolent intentions. There has never been any complaints of theft or other damages in the wake of the subject's passage. Few complaints of anything bothersome have ever been made, regarding the subject, and even then, only those of minor inconvenience. According to interviews and reports, the subject has only ever been negligibly negative in effect. *The subject seems to be self-sufficient, never needing to consume more than a meal at a time from the local economy. According to limited data, these meals tend to be large. *Those who have met the sole identified crew member of the ship have minimal unique information to offer. Beyond their physical descriptions, they say that she came as quickly as she went, staying only long enough to eat and work. A polite and to-the-point young woman who offers her labor in exchange for a meal and disappears in a Luminium ship. *The subject has managed to evade contact with military forces, though the known crew member may have made contact with some at some point. *The economic value and viability of regions the subject visits unanimously increases, and as such I recommend against any hostile actions if the subject is encountered.

Oh, right. I should link this.

Still breathin', people, just had some unfortunate disappearances. A few folks who expressed interest have just not been seen again, for example. I want another person or two, really. And maybe I should make some finalized sheets.

@CitrusArms

I might be interested. Are psychic powers permitted?

Edit: Note that I might need to make sure I have enough time and energy for a new game first.

[CitrusArms]

Not really. Zark's race has some bender-type powers, but they rarely occur. Wide-spread or naturally occurring psychic powers would be rare and... I dunno. Maybe. You'd have to really sell me on why your character or race should have psychic powers.

@CitrusArms

Understandable. So, what would you personally recommend? A character or a nation?

Can a character build a Nation or take over an NPC one?

[CitrusArms]

Whichever you like. There are existing nations you can create a character within, or you can write up your own. I'm not gonna say what to do like I'm recommending a lunch course to you. Taking over an NPC nation would be rather difficult, though I suppose not strictly impossible. As for building one, that's up to your writing, isn't it?

@CitrusArms

Yes, true. Are there any relatively anarchic places where I can carve out a nation from NPCs?

[CitrusArms]

There are a few pirate clans scattered about, but nothing worthy of forming a nation out of. Anarchic space is going to be synonymous with dead space, ruled by Scourge or pirates.

@CitrusArms

I see. Hmm, to be honest, give me some time to try and get inspiration - If you don't hear from me after a while; assume I didn't find any for this RP.

Edit: Sorry too if I was rude; that was not the intention.

Edit 2: And... I saw an opportunity to join an entire site dedicated to a single ASOIAF RP. Sorry about this, but it seems I might not be able to join this game - Apologies/Sorry!
