Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

Hello,

Is the Empire of Japan still open? I would very much like to enter as Akihito, if that character is also available.

Hate saying this, but until a better time comes for both myself and the rest of the active players, I will be putting this RP on hold. All work will be saved, and any accepted factions here will be carried over to the other RP, along with any work from WIPs.

Thanks for participating, and I hope to get this RP up and running again soon.

Excellent. I need to get my character sheet finished myself. Since I plan to be only using two or three characters actively, I'll simply make honorable mentions for the rest I've got featured in my faction.

The War of the Great Kingdoms (A Sci-Fi NRP)

That's very unfortunate. Well, I'll see you around though.

Alright, I got the first IC post up. Go nuts and make your intro posts!

The galaxy is teeming with life... and it's not as friendly as we might think at first sight. Vast civilizations from long ago have tamed the stars, only to wipe each other out in an effort to subdue one another. For thousands of years, these old factions eventually drove one another to extinction, never to be seen again...

In the ashes of the old world, a new one rises like a glorious phoenix, waiting to prove to all that it will be more grand than it was in its old life. It has been only a few thousand years since the old civilizations died out, leaving a gap in power throughout the galaxy. In the ages since, the races of the galaxy have risen up to claim glory for themselves and exert their will over the rest of the galaxy, at whatever cost necessary.

Vast civilizations such as the Glacian Empire, the Trangkar Imperium, and the Bhulhatur exert their influence over vast reaches of space, while others rise up to claim glory in various forms form their own names. Many civilizations exist, and many want to reign supreme... but only a handful will, and the question is constantly being asked -- and forcibly answered by both the strongest and smartest in the Galaxy.

In the War of the Great Kingdoms, you either rise to power and spread your name through the far reaches of eternity, or you slowly fade and die like so many others have. There remains only one question: Do the gifted people of the Galaxy have what it takes to carve their names into the memory of others forever, or will they fade like the rest?

Alright, but these are good issues to keep in mind as you're polishing off things.

@The Fair Lady: Excellent! I look forward to what you have to contribute to the RP.

The main reason I'm asking this is because 1) the term "responsible capitalism" and your description of it strikes me as a socialist government, and 2) I'm not sure where a clear definition of the stratocracy ends and the "republic" begins.

Furthermore, how is the republic a republic? Are certain people restricted from holding government positions outside of veteran explorers and military personnel? How do the elections work? How much does the government influence the economy? (More specifically, why is it a form of capitalism rather than a [semi] socialist economy?) How much influence does the military have on the government, and vice versa? I think these are major issues to address.

@Yog Sothoth: Please elaborate on what the following terms actually mean:

Responsible Capitalism -- What exactly is this? How is this different than the normal version of that type of economy which seems so common everywhere?

Hybrid Republic & Stratocracy -- ??? I don't even know what the word "Stratocracy" denotes, and how is it a republic when it seems to be an oligarchy consisting of veteran explorers and prominent skilled workers?

Yeah, character sheets are only relevant to your major characters. However, if you're going to use one often, just use as much of the sheet as you feel you need to, and simply trim out the rest.
