Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Antarctic Termite may I ASK how long you had been working on this?

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

So seems like we have a plan. This little holdup gives me a lil time to finalise my Character Sheet and officialy Post it.

[IC/OOC] God and Country - A low-fantasy renaissance NRP of religion and discovery

<Snipped quote by Drunken Conquistador>

The one in Dagoth's sheet is probably better, as it includes Choedal and Qaelun to the north, which aren't in the OP map. That said, Mille-Sessau and Sevanne are pending, as I haven't heard from their players since the intcheck:

@Aristo

which would give me access to one of the bigger rivers, a prime location for my Capital...

@Drunken Conquistador I am a bit unsure as to this too. That's why I didn't include a map claim yet.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

@Klomster yeah that's right, I am right now reading in. Might need a few days as I mostly read on my commute to university on my phone. But I might start working on a Character earlier, right now i am still juggling Ideas.

I am working on a post with @Kangutso. I'm not sure what Kangutso's current progress is on his avatar creation post, since he lost the first version he wrote.

That massive space sci-fi post was my post which I had been working on and tinkering for ages.


@Muttonhawk@Hygswitch@poog the pig@Double Capybara, I have a plan for the new demigods. Tell me what you think. Teknall decides to go to Illunabar for help, since he needs someone who is good at making personalities. There is a period of collaborative design and negotiations, in which Illunabar/the divas realise they could do with some help in making Lifpraville. At this point it is decided to make two demigods- one to help the Rovaick learn metalworking (Conata), and one to bring machinery to the first city (Kinesis). The rest is straight-forward.

@BBeast

As I just read to the end, and have the entire picture now (or what I can still recall, lol) I do approve of this. With Illunabar having been quite creative and proactive in designing stuff lately, she is a good one to have a hand in Kinesis creation.
Anyways I am now officially ready to start working on a colab post, but will before anything is posted rework my character sheet today or tomorrow.

Okay I couldn't help it and started writing a Nation up. As you see it is still very much WIP.

Indacissima Republicca Turchina

Nation Name
Indacissima Republicca Turchina

The Bluest Republic of Turchina

Flag

coat of arms


Nation Overview
Starting out from a number of Villages around the swampy estuary of the River Fiore in Ancient Times, a Trading city took shape after the building of the Grand Bridge. The Blue City grew over time, as her Ships, ever following the Coast, brought in the exotic riches of the Orient. Spices, Gems, Tapestries and Carpets, Silks, but most of all Indigo. The Blue Colour was highly sought after and even though it was beginning to be cultivated in the vicinity soon, none could match the Vibrant blue of Turchinas Indigo. With wealth came the rise of the great families, and soon Turchina sought independence from the Noble Lords, and was granted it. The Republic grew rapidly thanks to the wealth to raise armies and Build fleets of Ships to conquer a few Oriental Coast towns as Trading Posts and Contors. But along the Coast other Cities joined the Republic mostly without bloodshed.

Geography
Map Claim
(It would be very welcome if those claiming most of the coast now could cede a few smaller coastal areas to Turchina)

History

Society
While steeply stratified between the Noble families of the City, and a mass of unfree workers, most of the Cities populace is free, and quite a big part of the populace does quite well for itself. While there are notable Churches all around Turchinas Domain its people are said to be not quite the most pious, but very worldly in their outlook. Due to the wealth there is no shortage of festivals and balls in Turchina, the most famous of which is the great carnival in spring, with its masque ball.
The Architecture shows quite some Oriental influence, and some say this influence and trade relations with the heathen east might have tainted the blue city.
While Originally being ruled by a Doge elected by a council of the Noble Families, house Marcellaii has managed to make this office heritable about 120 years ago.

Economy/Industry
Turchina controls most of the Sea trade routes for luxury goods, and mainly spices but also has some agricultural land of its own around its cities. Without its trade it’d be hard pressed to feed itself comfortably though. Most of the small Landmass controlled by Turchina is wooded though and worked as sustainably as possible to ensure enough wood for the ships. As a City State the handcrafts are blooming and the Arsenal could be seen as the greatest Industrial Complex of the Age. Also the city is rich beyond compare, housing most of the big Banking houses of the Continent. What Turchina is lacking is access to own mines for Ores.

Military
The Indigo Navy is a sight to behold, with their great number of Caravels and Carracks. Most of the ships are very ornate and quite a few are not used for trade at all, but armed to the teeth to keep the trade routes save. On the Arsenal Island are the great shipyards that, by a very efficient system produce up to one new Ship a day, thus Turchina stands unchallenged at sea.

The main City itself is guarded by a professional City Guard.
Commissioned Officers wear entirely Blue Uniforms, if they can afford it with a lot of golden Embroidery.
Warrant Officers wear white or yellow Uniforms trimmed with blue.
The lower Soldiers wear white, grey or yellow Uniforms, Corporals with a blue cravat around their neck.

Most of the Noble Families maintain own household guards, sometimes reaching company size that mostly wear their houses colours. As these often incorporate Indigo and Gold their Clothing differentiates in other ways from the City Guards.

The smaller Cities and Colonies mostly have less prestigious non professional Guards.

To Supplement these a number of Mercenary Companies serve the Republic. Some of them since generations.

Formaroth {Battle for The Throne} - Now Recruiting

@TheDuncanMorgan I take it there is still the opportunity to join this? As to what I read your RP quite intrigues me. I have to admit though, while I have years of Roleplay experience most of it is from Pen & Paper and Chat Roleplays. The portion that is from Play by Post was rather Casual, or more focused on worldbuilding, but if you would still be willing to have me try it with you guys, I would love to do some work and write up a House and some Character Sheets.

@Antarctic Termite Don't we all have that one post we've been fiddling with for eons? ^^'
edit: or..maybe..not

@Kho

I don't....yet.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Kho neither have I seen or done this. But It's been some time since I found an RP that intrigued my quite like this, and for most stretches it's a better read than you guys realize if you ask me.
Zephyron in his pompousness is hilarious and I totally love to hate Jvans eldritchness, or see Toun grind himself to rubble on his own aspirations. Also this RP has the great advantage of being already established. After some time you really get sick of investing a lot of thought and time and love into a new starting RP and then seeing it grind to a halt without ever having picked up sufficient inertia to keep going.
