Universalist Totality
05-08-2004, 23:35
As some of you may know, my nation is run according to a unique ideology which my people call Universalism. For those of you who may be interested in learning more about the Universalist ideology, please just follow the link in my signature. It will take you to my first thread, where I thoroughly outline this perhaps controversial ideology.
Now, the back story behind the foundation of Universalist Totality is that millions of Univeralists from across the galaxy left their homeworlds and converged on the planet Forge in true Pioneer fahsion to build what they hoped would become a utopian society. As some of you may have noticed, this at once presents great RP potential, as well as many unanswered questions. Where exactly did they come from? Why did they leave? Where the repressed for their beliefs? How did they get to Forge in the first place? These are all questions that need answering. This is where you can help me.
I ask two things.
1) I am looking for nations who would be willing to declare that they have a small fringe group of Universalists amongst their citizens. This would help me establish where exactly my people come from, where their family and friends are. For those willing to take on this role, I can assure you that I won't be attempting to provoke some kind of Universalist coupe in your nations. But there are so many ways I could use this. For example, anymosity between different racial and cultural groups. People aren't perfect, and no matter how high their ideals, slapping together people from different backgrounds and forcing them to live and build together is bound to cause friction. If you are interested in this, a short post describing your people will suffice.
2) If someone would like to become more deeply involved in helping me create a backstory for my nation, for example by helping me tell the story of the exodus of one particular group of people, I would be absolutely thrilled to work with you. This way, the story of my nation could be told from both the perspective of the immigrants, as well as the homeland they left behind.
I hope you will all consider my request. Thanks for reading through, I'll be awaiting your feedback.
