Faction based Crossover RP? (With Umineko elements)

Flamelord said
Hm, I'll say I'm interested. Ideally, I'd be the Colonial Defense Forces from Old Man's War, but if that's too OP (which it may be), then I'll think up something else. Maybe Atlantis from SGA (Sans ZPM for fairness sake). Or Zeon from Gundam UC. But let's see if the GM thinks my first idea is OP

SGA and Zeon may be better simply because just having a military alone in this generally isn't enough. Given, cat eye'd body transferred old people is really good, but a civilian population that goes with your faction is recommended.

That aside, I'l be putting up the RP OOC sometime tonight. You'll need to apply your faction and faction leader, so be prepared for both. There'll also be an example faction to make it a bit easier to make.

Alright, that works out perfectly then.

Faction based Crossover RP? (With Umineko elements)

Sure, but that'll make you the leader of the UDF. You kay with that?

A Log Horizon faction would be directly competing for Japanese home territory, so I'll drop it. I could go UDF with the Atlantic Federation in Europe. It would actually make much, much more sense geopolitically now that I think of it, since it is essentially NATO. But that also means a good portion of Europe, and I'm hesitant to go for it since I'm sure that would close off a lot of factions for others.

It depends on what you want to do. You can always consolidate them to one or two countries in Europe, rather than taking all of it; you don't have to bring your entire faction into this. As of what I've seen, Asia seems to be the popular area right now anyway.

My faction's kinda small, so I intend on taking a simple, small location somewhere that I can launch air missions with relative ease. Not sure which Coalition I'll put my hat in with.

Alrighty~

Seeing what lands the coalitions take may help you out on that.

The problem is that my Faction has many autonomous states in it. . . so it has to be in Copenhagen. ::Shrug::

That's fine. You can keep using what you have or app a second faction. What I said was basically just a suggestion at this point. I'm just worried about the other two coalitions having people in them.

Faction based Crossover RP? (With Umineko elements)

Alright. Most members are going Copenhagen Coalition, which is the neutral faction. I'll allow a second major faction to be apped if you have a faction in the CC, then you can app one in the Directorate or UDF. We really need more balanced coalitions at this point.

Also, we need leadership for the UDF and Directorate. If no one is applying the leader of the UDF, I will make their leader faction as an example for the application process.

I would prefer you use an established land mass, and Australia probably works best considering the amount of land you get. Also, everyone remember that the resources on Earth are exactly like ours and are placed in the same places. This means that special elements or materials that only exist in your factions universe don't transfer over. However, there will be a solution to factions that heavily rely on their special materials early on in the RP, so don't let this discourage you from using such factions.

In regards to land claiming; we're not at that point yet, but you guys are free to draw borders among yourselves. An Earth based countries homeland always takes precedence; for example, if I apped the United States, I would get the US' current borders, no questions asked. Or, if someone apped CnC USSR; they would get Russia, no questions asked. However, external holdings such as the USSRs ownership of eastern Europe will only be given to them if no one else claims those lands by the time that faction is approved.

Another thing to keep in mind is faction size, and there will be limits to how large a population your faction can have. Having a larger population means you can own more land, but there is a limit to that as well; you simply can't claim all of Europe for, say, a fictional USSR. Satellites to your nations homeland(For example, South America to Code Geass' Britannia) may be allowed depending on size constraints of the roleplay, the case in question, and so on. Britannia is guaranteed the United States and perhaps Canada if applied; whether or not it gets South America depends on if anyone else wants it and factors present at that time. This is of course, just an example.

But yes, we need moar people in the other two coalitions.

I'm debating between using Log Horizon or Valkyria Chronicles. The factions in both of them should be pretty interesting in this scenario...

Yup! Either should present an interesting aspect to this.

Alright BB-ojou-chan, I've stayed quiet for a while now, but I need to voice my objection to this premise. exactly is going to be making the tea and cookies for the party?

Games don't need hosts, just players!

Would a technology-based or magic-based faction be more appropriate in this? Judging by how modern the Coalitions are, I feel that my fantasy factions I had in mind would be ill-suited.

Yes, and no. Fantasy factions alone tend to be under powered in faction based crossover roleplays. However, the intent of the coalitions is to allow factions to cover each others strengths and weaknesses by solidly working together. Fantasy versus something more modern would usually mean modern would win. However, if fantasy has a modern ally, they both become far, far, far stronger. It's all about balance; just fantasy alone will not be enough. Team it up with a modern or sci fi faction(Which is the intent of coalitions) and the story becomes very different very fast.

You can freely modernize or stay in your current tech level if you so choose. The infrastructure from Old Earth is still around, so with help from coalition members it shouldn't be to hard.

We'll be starting today if all things go as planned. Please submit any questions you have via PM or on here.

A quick question to all those interested; what faction are you going for, and what coalition are you placing them in? (Assuming you have decided)

Faction based Crossover RP? (With Umineko elements)

Alrighty! I'll add your name to the opening post as a co-gm

Also, the coalition information has been added to the opening post.

If we get a few more members, I'll prepare the OOC tomorrow.

If you posted the Coalitions, I believe I would have a better idea of what I want to play. Quite torn between several ideas at the moment.

Sure! I'll update the opening for the interest check to add them in.

Hell-o. Interested.

Long time no see! I'm glad to hear, hopefully this will be an interesting roleplay.

I am here.Hi.

Welcome! I do need a co GM(Perhaps a third, after the RP has an actual OOC). Since you helped make the RP, do you mind taking the first spot?

I'm down with this. The big question is whether things like Mortasheen or Awful Hospital are too outlandish, are they?

Mortasheen probably doesn't fit the theme very well in a pragmatic sense; you wouldn't be able to interact with others very much due to the nature of the roleplay. Awful Hospital is a possibility. If it's in terms of characters and not factions, they're both fine, just realize this RP has a fair share of conflict, so you'll need characters and factions prepared for that. Coalitions make it somewhat easier to app less combat oriented people, so also keep that in mind.

I want to be DEADPOOL. As for a faction he could join it would be one about making money!!!!!!

He actually fits really well in this RP, good pick.

Faction based Crossover RP? (With Umineko elements)

Yes, you can apply factions. There will be three coalitions that are made up of multiple factions that exist in this RP. You can still apply just characters, and have them work for one of these coalitions or the factions within, or they can be neutral(though this isn't recommended.)
