Is it because you're reading it on a tiny dim little screen?


No, I even notice it on my widescreen monitor.

I find it a helluva lot easier to read when there's something distinguishing my words. I purposely got lighter colors, since most of the site's theme was dark gray or even darker grey, but I guess they ain't so good. I didn't get any dark colors, after all. A light-ish brown and a light-ish red. It's easier on my eyes because seeing just a great big hunk of white text, always white text, hurts my eyes, and it's easier for me to read the burlywood and salmon coloring.

Even though it takes forever to format.

Sorry duck. It wasn't my intention to make your eyes hurt. I just found it pleasing and it made my own eyes hurt less.

As long as you do not make youe entire post colorful its fine. Using it to highlight just conversation is fine, I only notice strain when everything is color or if its not a bright color

It may be a few days before my next post. Or it might not. I'm not going to give a date so then I won't break it.

History is still in progress, but I figured I should put this here in case any of you have objections to things in the other sections. Sorry it's taken me so long, this year I actually need to do homework at home.

Name of nation: The Aurelian Reef

Species: The Kumare are biologically similar to humans except for their innate magical affinity.

Description of government: The Aurelian is a collection of small unaligned or hostile planet states.

Uuru- Monarchy- Rulled by the Gajda Royal family
Falkaide- No formal government exists
Halaal- The only pure democratic state in the reef, constantly under threat of revolution
Kaliks- The planet is ruled by the super corporation Hakke, technological powerhouse

Description of military:
Only the planet Uuru has a professional standing military, the other planets have small militias or “special groups” that conduct warfare when needed. The Uuru military is the largest in the Reef and it made up of elite heavy infantry, mechanized vehicles and armor. Supporting the ground forces is the navy, boasting a fleet of nearly 2,000 vessels, made up of everything from guided missile frigates to large capital ships.
( pictures to come, I don’t plan on waging war anytime soon)

Technological Overview:
All of the planets with the exception of Kaliks are in the beginning of their post modern era. Ballistic weapons and simple powered armor is common amongst armed groups, while energy based weapons are still being field tested. Faster then light travel is crude and unreliable, ensuring accuracy within a few hundred thousand meter radius. Drives must be cooled after every jump, or risk overheating and catastrophic failure of the fission reactor. Simple AI and robots are widely used wherever needed but are designed strictly to preform their individual tasks. Ships rely on armor to protect themselves due to the lack of energy shielding, making them extremely vulnerable to energy based attacks.

The technology of the Hakke corporation on Kaliks is far more advanced then the other three worlds. Magnetically accelerated and energy based weapons have been perfected but are rarely used and made. The Hakke corporation has developed multiple advanced powered armor designs but has no reason to manufacture them. Hakke vessels are excellent and the corporation maintains a moderate sized civilian fleet of 500 ships. Fusion reactors give the ships near unlimited range and advanced slipspace drives allow for multiple jumps before cooling. Few of these ships are armored however and even fewer are armed, limiting most of the fleet to civilian roles.

Cultural Overview:

Uuru- A strict feudal caste system is followed, with lords, knights and governors at the top of the regional hierarchy and peasants and at the bottom. Uurite society is extremely Victorian, both in social interaction and appearance. Architecture around the empire is a even mixture of Gothic and Victorian style buildings, with large squares and fountains making up the focal points of most towns and cities. The magical abilities of the people are rare and mostly unknown, except for the occasional miracle or accident.

Falkaide- The culture depends on the group, tribe or person you meet. The people have developed their own hierarchy and have split themselves into different factions and groups. Violence amongst factions is rare and diplomacy is commonly used to alleviate the frequent faction disagreements. Architecture on Falkaide can vary from a collection of simple wood cabins to semi large colonial style towns. Due to the rather chaotic nature of the people on Falkaide, space travel to and from this planet is rare. Magical ability depends on the person, some may be extremely magically gifted and practiced while others do not know they are magically sensitive.

Halaal- The democracy on Halaal remains in a constantly fragile state, always on the edge of revolution. Pure democracy makes sure everyone gets to speak when a law is suggested or action must be taken. Halithians are fiercely loyal to the planets relatively new constitution and are prepared to defend by any means necessary. Large colonial towns, mostly gathered around lakes and other bodies of water, dominate the planets surface. Magically sensitive people are hunted labeled as witches and hanged.

Kaliks- Kaliks is rather isolated from the other three planets, cut off by an asteroid belt. Navigating this belt is hard even for the advanced navigation systems of Hakke, so travel to the inner three planets is very rare. Due to the rarity of ever seeing a Kalite they have a ethereal reputation amongst the other planets. Quality of life is excellent and life expectancy is 200-250 years old. The Kalites themselves are not isolationist by nature and feel that it is their duty to bring technology to the other planets.

History: ( WIP)
Other: (WIP)

Real rough, but this is the basic concept.

Note:All humans have innate magical affinity, its just that it depends on how well they have developed if its powerful or not.

Edit:@Keyguyperson I thought I said there never was a WW3?

I thought you said there wasn't then said there was, but never actually confirmed either. It's not essential, since I could just ramp up how freaked out everyone was about the Proxy War in Syria. Or just have Russia pull something that ends up quite large, but not actually a World War. Or maybe China pulls something and people lose their shit. It's just, you know, kind of nice to be able to dictate events that affect only my history.

No real complaints, its all fine.

@KeyguypersonConsidering I control Earth, it still affects my history. Espically since several of 21st and 22nd century events effected the Iscandarian's view of humanity.

Not really, considering the fact that human national borders don't exist anymore (as far as I can gather from your app, that is). Besides, would having a Third World War really change the Iscandarian perspective on humanity that much? Like, we've already had two, the second being much more cruel than the stated Third because of the holocaust (no major power would dare attempt genocide, nor have a reason to). Is there any in-depth reason why having a fully conventional WWIII would be so big a disruption so as to change how humans are viewed by the Iscandarians?

But you see, Keyguy, Duck didn't say so, and Duck didn't say that anyone had free reign over almost completely inconsequential matters, and so of course it really matters, and of course he'd have to make sure it's all right by him.

I'm sorry I'm so pissed right now, sorry duck.

Don't worry man, I'm exactly as pissed. I just had a Second-Grade teacher who made us do Yoga every day, so I use backspace way more often.

Right now is one of those moments when you really really need someone to just rant to and cry and have there for comfort and all that, but I don't have frickin' anyone because no one actually gives a shit, and the best I have is a girl that's just as socially awkward and clueless as me, who is just as socially inhibited as me, so the best we do is talk on Skype or some shit.

I normally just keep all the shit that happens to me wrapped up tight in a little ball in a safe locked away in the deepest parts of my consciousness, but today has been the shittiest day for a while and so it's all crashing back onto me and I really just want to slam my door shut and lock it, and barricade it, and refuse to come out until I feel better, which I know will never happen because I've had this shit for years, and I know that my asshole parents would just make it worse and I'm all breaking down again for like the fourth time and I really think I'm going to snap here pretty quick, maybe this next minute, hour, day, week, I don't know but I'm feeling really goddamn weak right now.

@WilsonTurner, I know what you mean. I may not know the exact situation you're in, but I've definitely felt similarly before. It can just be so hard to vent all your frustrations when nobody seems to care at all, and you don't want to be a burden on them. I don't really have many personal friends and even the ones I do have I don't tell anything about my personal life as they really don't care at all. In fact, Durandal is probably the only friend I have who I tell most of my crap to. I tend to just ignore everyone and put on a mask of boredom and disinterest for just about everything and as you probably know that doesn't really turn out great in the long run. I know I can't really help at all with whatever situation has you like this, but I'll still listen and try to understand so I can hopefully give some advice from my own experience. Only if you want to accept my help of course. If you just want to rant in a PM or something, I'll still read the whole thing and offer any input I can, or I'll just stay silent if you wish. Your choice.
1x Thank Thank

@Zadubadabu
Thank you, Zab. At the moment, I probably won't be taking you up on your offer, but I'd be thankful if it stays open. And if I do rant- do reply. All the people who stick around are people who do nothing more than say "mmm. Mmm? Mm."
