Fires of Anuria(Reboot)

[Sigma]

For those of you who are unaware, here's a quoted bit of the old Interest check of the original creator.(Hope you don't mind Newsun :) )

I'm actually just throwing this out there as a potential idea. It's something I haven't seen done a lot (or indeed, ever) in regards of Nation RPs. Whether I actually take this a step further depends entirely on the reactions it gets.

The premise of this RP is as follows:

-The story focuses on a single planet that is desired by multiple nations and races for some reason or another. Probably resources or strategic advantage.

-The nations or factions involved are not in a state or cold war or near war, they are in all out war. We begin in the midst of combat.

-The RP focus is the war over this single planet

-The narrative is delivered -solely- through the perspective of expendable and temporary characters. Any strategy or attacks by your side is, say, expressed by orders from higher ups that you do not directly control.

-The idea is that you do not develop a race or faction that is solely composed of super bland, unoriginal individuals who, for example, all are super honorable and love war. We would be looking at a mix of characters who are launched on missions in the campaign and they all feel different about it. Maybe you have a squad of characters who want to rebel? Maybe a group that wants to defect to another side? A dutiful selection of other characters? Who knows. You will have some veterans, some newbies.

Hmm.

Any takers for something like this, or am I spouting what is essentially wet verbal poo all around? Because I'm not even sure if I'll do this at all.

We'll see.

And for those that were a part of it, I intend remake the rp :) So who's up for a global war? :P

[Skylar]

Interested. I'll have to shuffle through my nation concepts a bit, but I'm interested in the prospects of a global war through grunts eye perspectives.

[Sigma]

Excellent :) Just need three or so players to make the OOC.

[ASTA]

Maybe.

[Brink_]

Interested.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Also interested

@SigmaSounds fun, actually.
Though I suppose we still need to write a typical NS, right?

I have several potential ideas so I'll see which fits the most here.

BTW

@Sigma

While this is good and ambitious in the end all sci-fi factions are built around a certain theme. Of course like characters, decently written nations have multiple faces. But the way you wrote it may even imply more.
But yeah, the spirit of this idea is of course good.

@Willy Vereb You are quite correct, though the quoted bits are not my words :P

And with enough people. I'll set up the OOC in a short bit :)

[Willy Vereb]

@Sigma
Well, my ideas are:
1.) Alien invaders with strange mindset though certainly not bland across the board.
2.) Interstellar Corporate participating in this war for mining rights and future profit.
3.) Grim, gritty human aliens from a death world planet whose sour experiences paint their outlook on life among others.
4.) Space Hungary just because

There are perhaps more but these are the most preferred choices to me right now.

As for writing NS, I can help you come up with one which is simple yet has sufficient detail for other players to form a basic impression on your faction and its abilities.

@Willy Vereb While I do appreciate the help, I already have one :) (I'm reusing the sheet from the original version of said rp) However, I am willing to change the sheet if players find it unsatisfactory.

And some of those ideas sound good :)

And OOC's up!
