I want to continue. A couple of posts that unite the characters, perhaps?Maybe we could make a titanpad for collab posts. We'll be able to discuss worldbuilding freely in the chat, too.

Aye. Perhaps someone can Co-GM until he gets back.

I meant Canon-StorywiseAs in the events that happened in the game weren't caused by what Aiden did. Aiden never existed nor did anyone that wasn't over important that would have known Aiden.

I have to disagree on that. This is a universe where Aiden does exist, but he doesn't have to be involved in the RP per se or take involvement in. I would rather like to see this RP as an offshoot (not a rewrite or continuation) of the official story.

> Congo> Advanced technology> I have my doubts

I can agree with this. The Congo is more likely to be a Chinese vassal state and have a stable military that is heavily subsidized. For itself however, I also express my doubts because I really don't think that having a military that can hold their ground against China without serious casualties and almost total devastation, yet alone having a 'advanced military'.

I'm also interested in this RP and even though I haven't played the game, I did watch a lets play from start to finish and fell in love with the story. If enough people become interested, I can form up a basic character sheet, but I don't really wish to become the GM.

Radio Free Metropolis

Since I don't see anything happening IC, perhaps I can put up my character app.

Name: Drake “Rat” Romeros
Age: 28
Gender/Sexuality: Male/Bisexual (Slightly Homosexual)
Main Skill: Chemistry (Drugs, Explosives)
Secondary Skills: Street Smarts, Pistoleer, Runner

Quirk: In the lab, he prefers not to be distracted and focus on his craft of making quality designer drugs to the client’s demands, to crude explosives out of household cleaners if necessity demands it.

Oddity: His crass and rude behavior. He’s not known to be a gentleman in any case, as his cynical and dark humor puts off as most people that label him mildly psychotic are right. To him, it can be a bit justified as the majority of Metro-Tokyo are just people who eat, sleep, consume, and die at the behest of their wealthy overlords.

Flaw: Short temper and Rebel. He is known for outbursts of anger and having fits around people who are either MetPo, who flaunt their wealth and status, and people who disapprove of his smoking habit.

Secret Weapon: Street Rat. Despite not being a native to the area, he lived most of his life down in the poorer levels of Metro-Tokyo where life was rough. He knows where to hide within the run-down anarchy where the police rarely enforce.

Goal in Life (Meta): Find a partner, buy a lab to make whatever he wants (obviously drugs), and provide himself enough cash to live comfortably.

Goal in Life (Immediate): Provide enough for himself and not get killed by trigger-happy MetPo thugs or gang members that would want him dead.

Reason-He-Will-Ultimately-Win: His knack for crafting drugs makes him valuable to gangs and individuals that are willing to pay the price for his services and the materials that he needs. Molotov cocktails, to car bombs, and for the right price, he can be a valuable asset as long they aren't too pushy.

Reason-He-Will-Ultimately-Fail: The lab that he desires are ones that are A) owned by drug syndicates, 2) owned by companies that work closely with the MetPo, and 3) ridiculously expensive that even your run-of-the-mill middle class man can’t afford. He knows that his trade might even catch the eye of The Metropolitan Armed Forces that will brand him a terrorist. He isn't even safe from pissed off kingpins with bigger egos than his biggest explosions with shorter tempers that would want his head if he attempts to flip out on them. But a man can dream, can he?

Theme song(s): Martin Garrix - Animals (Original Mix)

Description:

Short Bio: Although born in the Megacity of Metro La Paz, his parents were able to scrape by enough money to escape the corrupted drug cartel infested tyranny to find a brighter future on Metro-Tokyo before he could even remember, but to him, he sees little difference in where he lives now and where he was born. Perhaps, it’s the consumerism, something in the air, or the fact that living in a poor favela in Asia makes you stick out just enough? Regardless, he always stood in with a bunch of weird folks like him and recently earning a Master’s in Chemistry that was paid by a scholarship that made him move up just a bit above his parents status now. Despite having a formal job and a good pay, he is growing increasingly bored with the stagnating routine of his life and willing to make gang connections with his invaluable skills.

Huh, interesting.What is your opinion on what would happen to Japan?

Most likely population decline and Japan would have to accept immigrants from other Asian nations. Japan would be less Japanese and more of a mix-match of Asian cultures.

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

Athens – Greece

The Greek nation stood in morning over the passing of Nikolaos Michaloliakos, the First Leader of Byzantium and the Unifier of Greece died in his sleep as the army made preparations for the forthcoming funeral as they placed the wake at the Church of the Holy Apostles nearby where national and international news groups lived streamed the footage from Athens. The wake was heavily guarded to prevent whatever anarchist and anti-government insurgents would attempt to steal or desecrate the body. Greeks and Serbians, along with a few Bulgarians paid their respects, Veterans and soldiers saluted to the corpse as they made their way around him, while a few citizens that were mostly women and children kissed the glass of the casket before they were asked to move away to prevent them from being forcibly removed. The leadership stood by and watched over the citizen passerby and let their heads low in respect of their former leader while members of the Order watched over and gave comfort to the grieving family of the former leader.

However for the new leader, General Officer Feodor Anastasios, his successor was working in his office at the Capital as he was watching the live-stream of the event on the computer while he prepared a speech for the upcoming burial. He preferred to work on strengthening the international influence of the Confederacy and making the region prosperous, believing that he would rather honor his legacy than morning over his fellow leader as he seen much pain and sorrow over the slaughter of his men from insurgents and rebels from the Serbian Unification conflicts. His attention was briefly interrupted by a knock on the door of his office, taking a look of the security feed to see a young woman dressed in black with flies in her hands.

“General Anastasios,” the woman spoke at the door as her voice spoke though the security feed. “I have the files that you requested from the Council. They also said that they would like to arrange a meeting with them regarding the rebuilding of Sarajevo.”A short buzz from the door caused the double doors of the chambers to unlock as she made her way though as the General stood up dressed in his military uniform and medals, and gave a light smirk across the handsome general’s face. “Thank you for doing this errand for me. I was watching the wake on the national live-stream and needed time to reflect from the ongoing funeral.”“Oh no problem at all. It’s my pleasure. Is there anything else you need?” She asked in an innocent manner, curious on what he might want next walking towards him as she placed the files on his desk.

“No, I still got a lot of problems. Roads and towns to repair, cities to rebuild, perhaps later I can build monuments to him and myself. Plus, dealing with the Oculi and anarchists for their chance at insurrection always looms even after much bloodshed.” He said in a disinterested tone as he sat back down and began to read though the files, even if he was under a lot of stress. She looked down at the carpet just before she headed out the doors and thought for a bit before rising her head back up turning to him again, and gave an innocent glance at him. “Perhaps after the meeting, you should tour the world and make a few alliances to help the Confederacy prosper. The NAF and Russia are potential allies.” Listening in, he stopped reading and looked at her directly with the same smirk on his face. “Perhaps… Russia is a valuable trade partner that helped us during the war, but there is a bit of bad blood from the former regime and the U.S. as it is now. Personally, I don’t consider the NAF to be an ally at this time, but trade relations can close and heal some bad wounds for the moment. I am visiting Serbia soon so I can attend the meeting in Belgrade after the burial. You are dismissed…”

He then turned to the files and reports on his desk, before for a moment he was curious about the secretary’s name.

“Wait…” he spoke as she headed outside his office as the doors were still open. “…What is your name?”

She turned around and gave a smile as she froze in the doorway before the doors closed on her. “Anya…”

As the doors shut and she went back to her desk down the corridor, the general thought for a bit as a small feeling of joy came to him that grew a smile from his face.

“Anya…” he whispered to himself before he went back to work.

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

I finally finished my nation app.

My Nation App

Name of Nation: Byzantine Confederacy

Territories: Greater Serbia (Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro), Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey up to Istanbul. Major Cities: Sofia, Athens, Sarajevo, Belgrade, and Western Istanbul.

Government Type:
Pan-Nationalist Totalitarian Parliamentary Dictatorship. Politics revolve around a fusion of National Syndicalism and Right-Wing populism. The nations pledge allegiance to the Byzantine Conference that is the ruling body of the Confederacy, but often the main ruling and final decision is decided by the Supreme Leader of Byzantium (Ανώτατο Αρχηγό του Βυζαντίου). 3 factions exist in the high ranks of the Conference that generally have a different idea on how they believe the newly formed Confederacy should operate.

Factions:
Vanguard of New Byzantium (Militarist/Imperialist) is the largest and dominating faction that controls the military, most of the political discussion, and the confederacy’s propaganda machine. The conservative nature of their policies keeps the peace and prevents infighting with the other factions that try to step out of line. Most of their agenda is expanding their influence into Turkey’s borders.
The Promethean Council (Technocratic/Progressive) are the second faction that manage the bulk of the economic burdens of the Confederacy and play a major role in the maintenance and the improvement of its infrastructure. Controlling the major industrial and agricultural sectors, they also run a heavy military R&D program with joint oversight from the Vanguard. Their policies are aimed at relaxing the punishments and harsh penalties of the Confederacy’s laws and take a more progressive and technocratic approach, most of the opposition to change the laws comes from their rivals: The Order of The Orthodox Cross.
The Order of The Orthodox Cross (Theocratic/Reactionary) is the smallest (having less than 10% of the Conference membership) are the most vocal and influential group of the Conference, imposing their strict moral doctrine on the larger populace. However, the increasing opposition of the Promethean Council and their influence is becoming ever more paramount during the Greek recovery and the sedimentation of the Confederacy’s power during its peaceful reign. Their members mostly come from the poorer Serbian and Bulgarian peoples rather than the richer Greek archipelago, but maintains a good influence within the region.

Official Religion: Eastern Orthodox. Although anyone can freely practice any religion or lack thereof, blasphemy laws charge anyone openly attacking the church or criticizing the Order outside the government are fined, and if the action severe enough, imprisonment up to 3 years.

Military: The Military under the Vanguard of New Byzantium is tasked with patrolling and maintaining order within the Confederacy by defending both the Northern territories with its mountainous geography, proficient guerilla tactics and urban warfare, anti-aircraft defenses placed at strategic locations and key cities while it keeps the peace in the Southern Archipelago via police force. The Greek Navy patrols the Aegean and Ionian Seas from potential attacks and invasion from Turkey and North Africa. Perhaps the Achilles heel of the army is that it relies heavily on Russian arms and military equipment as the Serbian/Greek Conquest drained

Economy: The Economy of the Byzantine Confederacy is a mixed economy of capitalist economics and socialist oversight, nationalizing major sectors of the economy. Run mostly by the Promethean Council regarding R&D, agriculture, mining, and heavy industry, tax cuts for industries that it desires (such as weapons manufacturing, chemical processing, and plans to increase the output of agriculture via vertical farming).
Greece remains the wealthiest of the three nations due to having desirable tourism, their position as the temporary capital of the and merchant navy transport system, followed by Bulgaria due to trade with Russia via the Black Sea. Greater Serbia is the poorest and most devastated of the nations due to the Serbian Reunification and the destruction of Sarajevo’s infrastructure.

Exports: Shipping and Transportation of goods, Manufacturing, Bauxite (Aluminum) Ore, Iron, Gold, sulfur, Gypsum, Luxury items (Marble, Grapes, Olive Oil, Cheese), tobacco, wheat.

Imports: Military hardware and ammunition, petroleum, guns, consumer electronics, foodstuffs, chemicals, cars, uranium fuel, machine parts, and construction materials.

Foreign Policy: Politically Aggressive. Highly supportive of Italy and France in their fight against The Oculi of Mercier as they brand him as an overeducated anarchist and terrorist. Supportive of the Far-right movements and nationalist support from allies, but openly critical of democratic and liberal governments. They prefer to improve and mine the Balkans for mineral resources to rebuild their ruined cities and infrastructure via trade and negotiations.

Foes: The Oculi of Mercier, Turkey. Skeptical of the NAF and Iran, but see them as ideological foes rather than outright enemies.

Demographics: 79 million. 38% Greek, 50% South Slavic (48% Serbian, 25% Bulgarian, 12% Albanian, 8% Bosnian, 7% Macedonian), 12% Minority or Second Class status (Mixture of Africans, Turks, Armenians, Egyptian Arabs, and Kurds).

History:
The Byzantine Confederacy is the dominant Balkan super-state that spans from Western Istanbul to the Slovenian border and down to the Greek archipelago and its sister islands. Despite differences in language and culture, they share a deep history and shared religion with each other that unites them under one banner in the region, as the

Born in 2023 during nationalist uprisings in Greece by the Golden Dawn, the Bulgarian withdraw from the EU, and the Right-wing populist coup of the increasing liberal government of Serbia, a meeting was established between the three nations to decide what to do to prevent the undoing of their creations by what they saw as the degenerate, yet, powerful and well-armed Western governments of the EU and the United States. They decided that they would unify under the condition that they would support each other to ensure that the two regional nationalist powers stayed in control, while Bulgaria would support them by trading with Russia for weapons to quell any potential rebellion against the newly form pan-nationalist state.
For the first half of WW3, the three nations fought in a grueling civil war against the former liberal regimes and its allies in attempt to restore the democratic order from the nationalist forces. Unfortunately, despite better equipment of the opposition, they were outgunned and outmatched by the combined army of the nationalist forces, caused the civil war against the government into a prolonged war of sabotage and terrorism crushing them and driving them underground. They still partake in actions against the Confederacy and currently sided themselves with The Oculi of Mercier.
The second part of the war was mostly a war of conquest and conquering the lesser nations under the banner of the Confederacy. The Greek conquest of Western Turkey (that was pushed back by the U.S. and Turkish forces up to Eastern Istanbul), joined by Bulgaria, and the recently established Greater Serbia via conquest of the smaller and former Yugoslavia nations secured the territories and dominions under the Byzantine banner. Dominated by the three states, Albania has been absorbed by Greece and Greater Serbia, while the Macedonia was divided between the three powers.
