1918: The New War

Updates:

New Players!

- White and Red Russia have been reserved
- Japan is reserved
- Spain is reserved

New Mechanic: Unions/United Fronts!

Players can now start as two nations that have united or joined forces, examples being the Russias forming a fragile peace and common front against the Horde, and a Franco-British Union.

These unions will not really be unrealistic or overpowered given the circumstances.

Map in progress!

I'm going to start on a map. Woo.

Applications!

To reserve a nation, just... reserve a nation. Thats it. Post on here or in the discord. And though its optional, a blurb about the current situation with your nation would be nice. That saves me time and makes sure I give you the correct percentages the first time.

On that note, while I will give everyone their percentages, if you receive yours and disagree for solid reasons, you can persuade me to change them.

Discord!

Interested? Maybe interested? Probably not interested but think this looks cool and maybe just maybe you'll join? Join the Discord! There's some people there! Wow! Wink

Earth vs. The Giant Monsters

"I love San Francisco. There's so much food to see."

"I think you mean seafood."

"No, look, there's food, see?" Points to fleeing San Franciscans.

Earth vs. The Giant Monsters

The real question is: Is it physically possible to be a team of giant monsters and not destroy Tokyo first?

Earth vs. The Giant Monsters

YES

Mechanics

I will control NPCs, like the Vampiric Horde, as well as give events to the players. The players respond to these events and react to each other. There are some stats below in the form of percentages. Each nation will be given specific starting percentages, and will be able to raise or lower all of them through the course of the rp. Different events will happen at different percentages. Losing is a distinct possibility, and surviving will be difficult. But its not just hard for the sake of it. This is supposed to be a thrilling experience that has you on the edge of your seat.

___% Terror- This is the amount of widespread horror and fright of civilians in your nation. This is heavily affected by proximity to the Horde and how safe the people feel from it. The more land you or nearby nations lose to the Horde the more this percentage rises. At 100% your nation will begin collapsing as people try to flee the nation en masse.

___% Morale- This is the spirit of the military. Victories, more/better equipment, and other successes will raise it. Defeats, victories that are far too costly, and other losses will lower it. At 0% your military will go into total collapse.

___% Military- This is also about the military, but specifically how large and well equipped it is. 100% means that, for the situation you're country is in, it is the best it can be. Less than 100% means that you might have poor/inefficient number of equipment, and/or too many people in the field. At 0% your military is either all dead or doesn't have any weapons at all, though its best to keep it far above that if you want to survive.

___% Health- This is the health of the nation. At 100% you have a booming economy, enough food and materials for everyone, could provide some help to other nations without hurting yourself at all, and is generally excelling despite the situation. Getting beat up or surrounded by the Horde is a great way to lower this. If you aren't dumping an exorbitant amount of money into your military, or helping other nations despite not being at your best, then your health gradually increases over time.

1918: The New War

Its been decided that I am going with the WW1 Castlevania-ish idea. I have an OOC thread up for it now.

Join the discord while I'm setting things up. Feel free to give me some help/suggestions/etc. Go ahead and reserve a nation too.

List of Unreserved Nations:

France
Great Britain
Germanic Union of Prussia- Forced out of much of Germany and Austria, the number of Germans that survived the initial bloodbath has allowed them to retreat into and form a large last stand in Prussia. However, without strong leadership, and strong allies, this state is doomed to fall.
Yugoslavic Union- Similar to the situation with Prussia.
Italy
Spain
United States
Russias
Other Balkans
Scandinavia
Japan
Benelux

1918: The New War

It is late 1918. The war grinds to an end as the final German offenses have been denied by the last ditch efforts of the British and French. The massive American reinforcements continue to prove to be a deciding factor, outweighing the advantage gained by Russia's descent into civil war. The sick men of Europe lie on their death beds, possibility of revolution threatens to spread into Germany, formerly occupied nations plot to rise up against their weak masters, the world is on the cusp of a great transformation that will change everything as we know it.

But its not in the way anyone expected.

Sensing the weakness of Europe, the cunning vampire Dracula struck. With the many horrors of the night he tore into central and eastern Europe, forcing Germans, Slavs, and more to flee or be reaped for their blood. Within a few days, the Vampiric Horde, comprised of monsters, demons, supernatural beings, and the hierarchy of vampires under Lord Dracula had conquered cities, counties, and even whole countries that used to exist.

Some parts of the world had not yet gotten wind of Dracula's arrival, the rest was frozen in place, horrified.

The world wanted to be done with war, but war only wanted to consume more of the world.
