@WilsonTurner
I read that as sort of an optional thing that some people can grow from, although if you went into further detail in an interest check or something then I wasn't there for it. Either way, I'm not saying I'm necessarily said civilization, only that according to my history which can be ignored if people want, although I'll likely be mentioning parts of it IC, I could potentially have been around when some of these ancients were still around, at least as the original Roa'marii Empire. Sorry for any confusion as to that. My history may explain that further if you're interested, but as I said it's just a possible plot point that someone can throw at me if they want.

@WilsonTurner
I suppose I have 3 main reasons why my post is so open ended. The first one being so that anyone can choose to have me as their contact. I'm not the kind of person that likes to state things as absolute in an RP. I try to always allow the other person to respond or at least agree with me beforehand before I put a major event in motion using them. In first contact this translates to an open invitation. Whoever wants to make contact can choose to do so. I won't force it on someone who may not want me involved. This leads to my second point. You and Raidne are already in contact to an extent. Therefore I didn't want to force you into another contact if you wanted to focus on hers for now. Additionally, Duck's post didn't leave much room for me to make contact as he didn't meet anyone or send out a scout fleet or something. As for my third reason, my post is almost a direct copy from my first post in Stardust where my nation is the exact same. Edited to remove a stardust specific event, but still.

I know you aren't annoyed at me specifically, and if this post seems a bit aggressive that is not my intention. I know it's not that great when everyone does this, but the point of open first posts is not to be a major event, it's to set up your nation and open up possibilities for others to respond. That's why it's become a universal part of this type of RP. I have no problems at all with multiple IC posts by the same user in a row, not even somewhat short ones, if they are all important. I only consider unimportant IC posts that do absolutely nothing to be spamming. Also, ancients typically are used as a means of similar tech and language structures and don't usually still survive. If we take Roa'marii lore into full account, we could be considered an ancient evil that wiped out entire civilizations just because, but that's a big maybe, and Roa'marii tech wouldn't be laying around to this day either.

First post is up, anyone who wants to make contact with me is welcome.

Moonlight Castle, Arcadia

The Moonlight Castle stood atop the great Lunar Mountain, overlooking the capital city of Moonfall. The planet Arcadia was not a hospitable planet to those not born from its constant storms and long nights, but for the Roa'marii who populated it, Arcadia was the most holy planet in existence. The Moonlight Castle standing above the storms atop the tallest mountain the planet had to offer was the home of the gods, the Nightmare Emperor himself ruling from his iron throne, watching all those under his command. The halls of this castle were sacred, each civilian dreaming of walking through them, the moon's pale glow lighting the way as they came to a stop before the throne. Now, with the full moon shining through the glass ceiling, a single man in crimson robes knelt in a puddle of moonlight before the throne hidden in the shadows. Then the Nightmare Emperor rose from his throne, striding forth to stand before the kneeling man.

The Emperor's pitch black hair shone with the silver glow of the moon above, his skin shining as the moon shone on his pale face, perfectly sculpted. The Emperor wore a suit of black armor engraved all over with symbols of the past, reminders of past wars well fought, the seals of fallen nations commemorated eternally as the worthy adversaries they were. A cloak of dark blue cloth hung behind him as a black steel crown sat atop his head, a single purple gem embedded in the center. The Nightmare Emperor stared down at the man before him before a slight smirk showed on his face and he spoke.

"General Peltis, it is always good to see you once more. While your visits are always welcome, it seems you have something of importance you wish to tell me."

"Yes emperor, I'm afraid my visit is not merely a social one. I have received news from the recently sent out expedition fleet from Dullahan, near the empire's edge led by Commanders Hur'raci and Sil'soro. They happened across a system along the way that was inhabited by a rather advanced group compared to the primitive civilizations that exist along our current borders. They appear to be at a similar level to ourselves, if not slightly lower tier than we are, although it is hard to say without any real scans of their planets and defense fleets. The expedition fleet opted to cruise through the system with dark shields at maximum efficiency to avoid detection. It is not believed that we were noticed, although the possibility is there. I've spoken to Jer'rahd already and if you will it we shall send a small fleet to attempt contact with this new nation."

The Nightmare Emperor spent a few seconds to contemplate this before responding. "This could be a good opportunity to open new trade routes. I want you and Jer'rahd to initiate first contact. Be prepared for hostilities. If they did in fact notice the expedition fleet, they may have raised an alarm and prepared defenses. You may well be mistaken for an enemy of theirs. Go now and rest from your journey. You will leave at first light to meet with Jer'rahd in Battlefleet Alpha."

"Thank you emperor."

Rhe'deri Peltis stood up and began walking back through the halls of the castle towards a set of rooms put aside for the five Immortal Generals like himself. The Emperor stood in the throne room before he raised his head to the moon, it's light gleaming on his face, the stars beyond hiding untold beings soon to be discovered.

<Snipped quote by 6slyboy6>

You've got to be patient, it says he is on vacation. And even then school is right around the corner for most folk/already started. Eventually if he feels like he can't do it then he will tell us.

Also @Zadubadabu you could use the original sheet but where it says what universe are you from you can just put original content or something, but you might need to elaborate a little more on your nation because it more than likely doesn't have a wiki page devoted to it.

@Orcus

Yea, I know I can, but seeing as Willy said he wanted a seperate form I've decided to hold up on it. I've mostly written it up using the existing form, but I only want to post it once so I'll make edits as needed once I know exactly what I need.

So... How's everyone doing? Any progress on the Original Faction sheet? Also, my offer to co-GM if needed is still standing.

New United Roa'marii Empire

Species

The main species among the Empire is the Roa'marii themselves. These creatures are humanoid and slightly taller and bulkier than the average Human. They have a pale gray skin and large cat-like eyes due to their home planet being half shrouded in near eternal darkness caused by large storm fronts that block out the sun on the majority of the planet's surface. They have elongated fingers ending in sharp claws. The Roa'marii have a distinct ability to call upon an energy that can be called magic and manipulate it to perform a large number of feats. While all Roa'marii have some magical ability, most Roa'marii only hold the capacity for weak telekinesis and little more. There exists a total of seven Roa'marii that hold the power of an immortal god. These seven are biologically immortal and have incredibly large pools of power to draw from along with a very quick healing factor. While they can be killed in combat, it is extremely difficult to do so. If a Roa'marii god is killed, his power is sent out and randomly enters into another Roa'marii. It is possible with the correct rituals to trap that power and funnel it into a specific person. The Empire is willing to accept any species into their fold so long as they swear alligence to the Emperor and prove themselves as formidable opponents in battle.

Description of Government

the Roa'marii Empire is led by an emperor who is always a member of the immortal Roa'marii gods. The current ruler is the Nightmare Emperor who has ruled with his five immortal generals since the founding of the New Empire. The United Empire is split into a number of smaller states that each have their own governments and are all subordinate to the Roa'marii empire itself. The empire is heavily militaristic and values military leaders who normally hold powerful political positions as well. Besides the Emperor himself, the five generals are the most powerful political leaders.

Description of Military

The Roa'marii military is set up in a number of Legions specializing in different fields. All citizens of the Roa'marii Empire are required to attend basic military training at an early age. From there, citizens can choose to advance into further military training or leave the military. This makes sure that in the case of invasion all Roa'marii citizens are able to rise up and defend themselves against an enemy force. Those who remain in the military are sent into further training to prepare themselves for a number of legion tests. These tests decide which type of legion the soldiers will be sent to. A soldier may choose at this point to stay in the basic legions of that type or receive advanced training to attempt to enter one of the elite legions led personally by the five immortal generals. The legion divisions are as follows:
42nd Legion: the elite land assault based legion led by Immortal General Jer'rahd Kaisur.
48th Legion: the elite siege legion led by Immortal General Ble'reu Escal.
63rd Legion: the elite airborne legion led by Immortal General Sta'falia Silvad.
76th Legion: the elite medical legion led by Immortal General Zer'icia Velkora.
96th Legion: the elite assassin legion led by Immortal General Rhe'deri Peltis

Weapons and Armor

The standard weapon for infantry is the mana rifle. The mana rifle uses streams of highly energized mana that works in a similar way to plasma weapons. The rifle draws mana from the soldier who wields it. The weapon does not require strong control over mana pools or even a large mana pool, but as mana rifles are tuned to the signature of the Roa'marii soldiers, they cannot be scavenged from the battlefield by enemy forces. Specialist forces of the Roa'marii use a variety of other weapons such as snipers, rocket launchers, or flamethrowers. High power magic users among the Roa'marii wield special armor made from a material known by the Roa'marii as Lunar Steel that amplifies the power of magical attacks, making it far less taxing on the individual mage to fight for long periods of time. Battle mages typically specialize in high powered ranged bombardments as well as illusions used to make armies appear much smaller or larger than they actually are. Every soldier is equipped with a short power sword and a pistol in addition to their other weaponry. Standard issue armor is made of an under suit of carbon fiber covered by a suit made from a heavy titanium alloy. High ranking officers such as the Immortal Generals wear armor made from an alloy of a material known as Arcadian Steel that is found in incredibly low quantities on the Roa'marii home planet of Arcadia. This metal is able to absorb incredible amounts of mana and is incredibly strong. The metal is capable of blocking magic and is one of the few things that can easily kill an Immortal Roa'marii god. The metal has been used to create special swords and daggers wielded only by the Immortal Generals and the Nightmare Emperor himself.

Technological Overview

the technology of the Roa'marii Empire revolves around the magical abilities of their people. Vast ships known as mana-link arrays are a major piece of Roa'marii mana tech ships. These ships are made up of a large group of much smaller ships in a swarm-like formation that are connected to one another through beams of mana. These ships are able to split apart and reform at will and can combine power in order to fire devastating beams whose power goes up greatly the more ships join the array. These arrays are mainly used in combination with portal technology to send blasts of mana through space and bombard enemy fleets or planets from many light years away. The main ships found in the Roa'marii fleets however do not have the mana-link properties and are instead known as the Dark Fleets or Void Ships. The Roa'marii ships are made specially so that no light is given off and the hull is completely black. Special systems in the hull cool it down to the temperature of the space around it so as to greatly reduce the effectiveness of heat tracking while cloaking devices block most long range scans. These ships excell in remaining unseen until the time is right to begin an assault. The main weapons on these ships are mana cannons that fire beams of mana stored in mana batteries much like those on board mana-link ships. The ships also use railgun tech to fire large projectiles at incredibly high speeds.

History

The Roa'marii people evolved and grew on the planet Arcadia, which deals with near constant global storms that block out most of the sunlight on the planet for very long periods of time. This led to many ancient Roa'marii nations hiding under the shroud of darkness and storm fronts to raid other nations for much needed food and supplies. By the time the Roa'marii finally achieved space travel and relative unity, there were seven nations of the Roa'marii people, each ruled by an immortal god. These nations competed for territory in their solar system. A number of wars took place over time that eventually ended in a single empire ruled by a sole immortal emperor. This Roa'marii Empire began to quickly spread out across the stars until a fairly large chunk of the Galaxy was under their influence. This prosperity ended with the reign of the Mad Emperor Cru'belis. This emperor led the empire into a war against an ancient power it could not compete with. The armies were successful at first, but we're soon pushed back. Then began the decimation of the Roa'marii Empire. In the end, the Roa'marii were subjugated under this enemy and forced back into their home solar system. Centuries later began the Nightmare Rebellion. This rebellion was led by the new god after Cru'belis who still reigns today as the Nightmare Emperor. By stealing an important relic of the enemy's the Nightmare Emperor gained immense power for the price of sanity and was able to strike back with a devastating blow. Armies of magically enhanced soldiers marched forth and retook the old empire's territory. But the New Empire didn't stop there, it attacked and all but exterminated its foe, starting a series of extermination wars on all other factions nearby. After many centuries, the Nightmare Emperor broke free from his insanity and withdrew the Empire inwards, allowing others to take its place. Since then the Empire has served to protect smaller factions nearby by absorbing them into the United Empire and hitting back against their foes. The United New Roa'marii Empire now stands to protect fledgling nations as reparation for their past devastation of the cultures around them.

Easiest co-GM I've ever had. Anyway, I'll post it when I get off work later tonight.

Ashes to Ashes, a freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP. (Always Accepting)

So, thinking about joining this cause I'm bored and need something to do. Can I just copy my nation sheet from Stardust: Andromeda here and use them again? I ask because this seems like a repeat with many of the players here having been there at some point. I'll still copy it to the OOC and make any necessary edits of course.
