VIVA LA DIVITIA!
Divitia: N. A world created by the Akin’Is for an unknown purpose. It is the home world of The Divitians.
Divitia, on the surface, is just another life-supporting planet. Nearly identical to Earth several thousand years ago. However, below the surface is thousands of miles of installation, creating a network still yet unmapped fully. At the center of which is a power core that keeps the planet alive. Due to it’s location, it’s year is exactly ⅕ of an Earth year. Now you may ask “How can a planet not be too hot that close to a star?” And the answer is: “It’s climate controlled!” And it’s true, always has been. The Akin’Is, a now dead race, built it close to star and wrapped what’s called a “Warp Shield” around it. This shield dissolves any matter that pass through it. It is sustained by twenty-four satellites places in geosynchronous orbit around the planet. These satellites also keep an energy shield around the planet, and give controlled bursts to the planet to keep it habitable.
The Divitians are polytheistic, and (As far as the Triumvirate is concerned) everyone believes in the same gods. (There might be exceptions, but those groups that might believe differently kill anyone that interacts with them.) The primary gods that are followed will be outlined later.
In Divitian year 4576 the Divitians finally achieved control of the orbital stations around their planet, which allowed them to explore the rest of their solar system. In 4883 (307 Divitan years later/61.4 Human Years.) a storage cache of Akin’Is space technology was discovered inside the planet, and the Divitians started basing their technology on this. Doing so gave them the ability to live in a symbiosis with the planet, instead of the way modern day Humans do. In 4922 (39/7.8) the first working FTL drive was developed. After that they explored the galaxy, colonizing where possible, but never ever starting a war if possible. The grandeur of the galaxy they lived in amazed them.
It is now 5342 (420/84). The Divitians have colonized most of the known galaxy. Having made many allies and many more enemies, they had not developed technologically for nearly two hundred years. There had been no need to. The Akin’Is left enough technology behind that they were far superior to any other race they came across, spreading Envy and Awe of them.
Fifteen years ago an unknown race calling themselves the “Halycon” declared war on the Divitians. Their forces are far inferior to Divitian ships, and have not won a single battle as of yet. But they refuse to parley or make any pact of peace. In these short years the Divitians have not located a single Halycon world, and still don’t know what their foe actually looks like. But so far, all that has happened is the mass decimation of their fleets. But you’re probably wondering. What IS a Divitian. Well to put it the easiest way possible, an animal person.
Yes, animal people. Don’t go running for the hills! I’m not talking one particular kind, Divitians have many different subspecies resembling various Earth-Like creatures. (Of course, Earth is an unknown place to the Divitians, as Earth is in a different Galaxy.) The ones you may encounter in this RP are (In Alphabetical order. Ones marked with a “(P)” are ones you can play as.): Aardvark(P), Avian(P), Centipede(P), Crocodile(P), Dragon(P), General Insectoid, Lizard(P), Millipede (Different than Centipede.), Porcupine(P), Spider, and Wolf(P).
For what I have in mind, I’m going to need at least 6 people (Including me.), though I will be willing to have more. Keep in mind the Divitians for the most part never have long wars, so everyone is a tad green combat-wise. I will need
Divitian General: Whoever this is won’t RP much, but will get to be the awesome guy in charge of the primary strategy of the Divitians. (I will fill this role if no one wants it. Doesn't require a character app, and all rping/strategy will be done in PMs, so you won't actually be posting anything in the IC chat.)
Divitian Soldiers: 4-7 slots, most RP, but I’m not big on promoting people, so keep that in mind. For the most part, you will be on a space ship handling basic affairs, though there will be combat. You will have to take on a second role on ship. (Such as Engineer, security, ect ect. Captain's messanger will be an Insectoid that will be played by me)
Divitian Captain: Commander of aforementioned Divitian Soldiers, will command an entire ship, because He’s cool. (He will get slightly more RP than the overarching General, but not as much as the soldiers.)
Divitian Researcher: Someone who goes with everyone else on ground missions. Mostly a liability, but you’re ordered to keep him safe.
(If I have a large excess of good apps)
Halycon Researcher: Someone who researches the Halycon, NOT an actual Halycon.
VIP: Someone that has to be saved at some point. Woohoo! You know something no one else knows about the Halycon. (I will PM you what you know.)
General Rules for OOC chat:
1. Forum Rules
2. Do not bring up issues that do not pertain to this RP.
3. Don’t use overly vulgar language, and no NSFW content or links.
Rules for Characters:
1. Your character has to be somewhat dynamic.
2. Your character MUST follow a particular god/goddess (Of your choice), but that doesn’t mean you have to constantly pray/worship ect. You can be a non-practitioner, but, there are several guidelines you still have to follow. Atheists/Agnostics/Anything else against religion is a no-no.
3. Racism is possible, but unlikely in some cases (Such as against Dragon subspecies. Or such as Lizard/Crocodile racism.)
4. If your character is Avian, he can’t be or have been in the two major Assassin groups (Ah’Kier and Dro’Kiyn). However, they COULD have been given the chance to join the Ah’Kier, and turned it down. (Dro’Kiyn just abduct you.)
5. Maximum (Except in the captain’s case) of ten Divitian years of experience in the military (Two Human Years).
6. I will have leniency on all of these, of course.
I might have said this before, but the technology is as follows for infantry.
1. Psionic guns (Have a limited charge based on number of crystals. Have a ballistic mode that can fire small scrap metal pieces or bullets, but this still drains the crystals and is not very effective at long range. Due to the fact that these guns use Psionic energy, there is no recoil and psionically gifted individuals can recharge them.)
2. The armor given comes in four tiers. "Scar" plating is the least protection, covering only the chest, head, and front of their legs. The plates are designed so that the armor makes no sound while moving, so the armor is often given to scouts. The armor also comes equipped with a shield with a psionic gem set into it. The shield comes as a bracer, and can fold out into a full sized shield, with a weak shield emitter.
The "Second Tier" Armor is “Shadow” plating. It comes equipped with a second gen active camouflage and a light full-body shield emitter. It serves for the same purposes as “Scar” plating, but it covers their entire body, and has extra psionic gems on the arms and legs, giving four extra full-psionic shots, and depending on the size of the shot, 20-32 ballistic rounds.
“Third Tier” Armor is the most common plating. It is moderately heavy armor and has a heavier shield than the other armor. It provides a complete immunity to psionic weapons, meaning friendly-fire is not a danger, and the armor provides some protection against ballistic weapons and animal. The armor is too heavy for most Avians, as their bones are hollow and not built for large amounts of constant stress. It has eight extra crystals around the belt, providing eight extra psionic shots and 40-64 extra ballistic rounds. However, the armor no longer provides the psionic immunity if it runs out of power.
“Fourth Tier” Armor is virtually power armor, with a full face mask and full body coverage. It has Fifteen extra psionic crystals, clips for larger weapons, Psionic immunity, and physical strength boosts. These can only be worn by Crocodile and Porcupine subspecies, and for the exceptional, uncommon, male, wingless Dragon. The weight and training of the armor takes to long and is too intensive for any other Divitian Subspecies. It has its own oxygen supply, two medkits, and an emergency psionic explosion, as well as a slot on the back for Rejuvenation kits to be used on.
3. Medkits consist of medi-gel and minor rejuvenation kits that can regenerate portions of the body as large as one’s hand.
4. Centipedes and Millipedes who have outgrown their chitin get a fake one about as tough and useful as the most common Allumptial Plating.
