A Time of Heroes and Villains

It has been three and a half centuries since the destruction of the Galactic Empire's vaunted Death Star. A second Rebel sneak attack, in the very heart of Imperial Territory, erased any chance of the construction of its more powerful successor. With the removal of these terror devices, the Rebellion gained in power, with hundreds of worlds striking out against the still shocked Empire. With these new friends, the Rebellion took on a new name: The Freespace Alliance.

Still, despite their increased might, they lacked the power to fully collapse the Empire. The war bogged down, and became a quagmire of smoldering worlds and shattered fleets. Eventually, the cannonfire stopped, and a tenous truce developed between the two forces. It became apparent to both sides that an all out war would more than likely destroy so many worlds that there would literally be nothing left to fight for. So the two sides, Freespace and Imperial, shook hands, and agreed not to clash.

For a while.

They constantly watch each other, monitoring the border systems and demilitarized zones with unceasing vigilance. If any fleet movement is detected, an opposing fleet is mobilized to match. If some new technology appears in one fleet, a new technology soon finds its way into the opposing fleets as well. So it has gone for the past century. A state of Cold War between the Freespace Alliance and the Galactic Empire.

It is a time like this when the actions of singular men and women can achieve the most amazing of impacts, when tales of heroes are told around campfires and in cantinas on both sides of the conflict. It is a time of Heroes and Villains.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a Future Tech Campaign related to the Star Wars universe (with a small yet critical alternate future component). There are two sides to the war, the Freespace Alliance, and the Galactic Empire. Both sides are essentially equal in strength, and are highly reluctant to enter into direct confrontations with each other.

This campaign is HEAVILY Character RP oriented, and participation in related RPs requires permission, both by the main parties in the RPs, and by an application into the Campaign entire. We will brook no insertion of massive armies of Sith Knights out of Garbage bins or otherwise spoiling RPs that are otherwise just the stories of but a few people trying to make some BIG things happen.

Usage of External Technology is allowed (I.E. WH40K, Star Trek, Godulan Technology, etc). However, Planet Killers/ Sun Crushers are most definitely not, as the development of such massive projects would likely lead to a declaration of war, which, when Mutually Assured Destruction IS a major factor in the political climate, is NOT a good thing. Also, system-encompassing FTLinhibition fields get a negative also. It is a gimpy way to defend a system from external attack, and is also completely unnecessary. Imperial Interdictor Cruisers and Freespace Drive Scrambler Destroyers.

Usage of the Force, Psionics, Magic, Yadda yadda yadda is allowed, but only within reason. No instakill abilities, No "My guy vanishes from sight and escapes certain death neener neener neener" abilities, and Mind Control must be agreed upon.

Each Nation that wishes to participate in this Campaign gets to choose up to THREE main characters. These are the focus of the storylines, and I don't want them to get clogged up too much with swarm after swarm of red-shirt characters while the Nations most happy fun time character gets away scott free. Like your character too much to let go permanently in the event he's overmatched and cornered? Worry not? Come up with a REASONABLE justification of how he can resurrect himself, or be brought back, and you can fix up the whole mess nice and clean. HOWEVER, if your character(s) die in one RP, they are no longer allowed to act in that RP.

Finally, each participant nation may only have a small entourage, or a more impressive grouping if working with other main characters. These people are acting on their own or in concert with trusted comrades, and should only have as many people as they can reasonably maintain in small scale.

This stipulation has a secondary effect: Space Battles are gonna be nice and TINY. We are talking combat between fleets whose numbers never go into the triple digits COMBINED. Stricter rules on large vessels like ISDs as deemed appropriate. And no claiming Super ships as part of the entourage. Unless somebody is directly assaulting your nation's planets (a stupid move), Dreadnaughts should be kept strictly as flavor, and not firepower.

For all who wish to participate, I would like to start a sign up sheet for the various nations involved, their allegiance, and their characters + motivation for WHY they're wandering around causing a ruckus. There are three sections: Freespace Alliance, Galactic Empire, and Neutral. Membership in alliances external to this setting are not required. A member of Sith's Galactic Empire could conceivably be a member of the Freespace Alliance here.

I would also recommend against bringing National Leaders in as main characters. One, they're WAY too noticeable, and two, they have so many other things to worry about without paying attention to going on the occasional adventure.

Please Format as the following:

Nation: (This means you)
Alliance: (Freespace Alliance, Galactic Empire, or Neutral)
Character 1:
Motivation:
Character 2:
Motivation:
Character 3:
Motivation:

It is only required to fill out one Character section. Just remember you can have up to three. Entourage Sizes and Escort Fleets can be worked out later. Oh, Alliance membership needs to be equalized for RP sake, and you are not allowed to claim neutrality and then act with favor towards any one side. If you claim neutrality, you're out to make a buck or some other similarly innocuous purpose, and must not show favoritism to either side. Your nation is neutral because it doesn't want to get blown up, and knows that disturbing the balance by picking and choosing would likely make things worse.

I shall post a second part detailing several of the more generic Freespace Alliance vessels and Technologies later, and hope to work with Unified Sith on more recent Imperial vessels and Technologies.

For now though, I shall simply list the nations and characters involved:

Neutral 'Communally Held Worlds' do not actually 'Belong' to the Neutral Systems, much as they are considered... well... Neutral worlds. Anybody can go there.

COMMUNALLY HELD WORLDS
(To Start)
Freespace Alliance: Bakura, Mon Calamari, Sentinel VIII
Galactic Empire: Coruscant, Corellia

Nation: Chronosia
Alliance: Galactic Empire
Character 1: Cabot De Drakan

http://uk.games-workshop.com/chaosspacemarines/kharn/images/kharn-art-01.jpg

Motivation: To support the Empire and acquire personal power in the aftermath of the Death Stars destruction

Character 2: Remiel De Drakan

http://www.tokyojupiter.com/reaper/cross33.jpg

Motivation: Son of the Daemon Emperor, he exists to further his fathers will and to maintain order through his Leadership of the Inquisition, and title of Warmaster

Character 3: Lucian De Drakan

http://uk.games-workshop.com/chaosspacemarines/typhus/images/typhus-art-01.jpg

Motivation: He seeks to gain favor in the eyes of his father, being the second most loved son of the Emperor. This Primarch goes to extremes to please his Master and the God's, yet is loyal.

Nation: Coreworlds
Alliance: Freespace Alliance
Character 1: Jake McNeil aka Daniel Masaki.
Motivation: To fight the Galactic Empire by any means necessary. Currently by hunting bounties and Darksiders.
http://interweb.emu-france.com/DVD_Edition/gundamwing/Duo_Maxwell_10.jpeg
(Daniel's 23 at this point, but he of course looks 18)

Character 2: Christopher Mackson
Motivation: Sort of under Jake's tutelage as a young sharpshooter, he too wants to collect bounties and fight the Empire.
http://www.wizarduniverse.com/_gfx_/magazines/anime/AN20030207-asl.gif
(He's actually 13.)

Character 3: Konohamaru Sarutobi
Motivation: Also under Jake's care. He's a ninja, so his missions often overlap with bounty hunters.
http://www.priv.twoje-sudety.pl/~shinobi/info/konhamruteam/ko1.jpg
(kid in the middle. Yes, I know he looks way too young, but let's just say that he got caught in an age-reducing spell or something. It appears that alot of us Coredians don't age as much as the rest of the galaxy...)

Would prolly help to put in my own allegiance and characters...

Nation: Triad Consortium of Godular
Alliance: Freespace Alliance

Character 1: Maximillian Foster
Motivation: Named Jedi Tutelary in the face of overwhelming Sith purges, he intends to take a more active role in turning the tables on the Darksiders, utilizing his own ruthlessness, skill, and powers.

Character 2: Kelvin Majestatus
Motivation: The son of a prominent interdimensional theurge, he seeks to live up to his father's expectations by eliminating those who would oppress and exploit the innocent. He does NOT like Maximillian Foster.

Character 3: Vector
Motivation: After a failed assassination attempt on a respected yet duplicitous Imperial Senator, Vector has found himself on the wrong side of 'the law' and found respite in Freespace. Now he seeks to exact revenge on who the Senator became: Emperor Palpatine

Nation: Techon
Alliance: Freespace Alliance
Character 1: Konas
Motivation: To fight the Empire and bring peace to the galaxy and balance to the force.

Character 2: Vinn Damross
Motivation: Konas's padawan learner. Also wants to stop the Empire.

Character 3: Sage Linner
Motivation: A smuggler who had nearly been caught by the empire one to many times. Has helped out with Alliance opperations several times in the past.

OOC: we are using the tech that the alliance we join uses, correct? it doesn't have to be based on what tech we use in FT? (as nations)

IC:
Nation: Trekys
Alliance: Neutral

Character 1 Andrew G. Johnson
Motivation: Makes a living as a Bounty Hunter, accepting bounties placed on people that live on both sides, the Freespace Alliance and the Galactic Empire.

Character 2 Jason Killworth
Motivation: Pilots Andrew's ship around the galaxy to where ever his bounty may go.

Character 3 Mary Bicksworth
Motivation: Follows Andrew around, learning the trade (if you will) of bounty hunting. Helps Andrew bring down his bounties from time to time, but is alittle clumsy with firign a weapon.

OOC: we are using the tech that the alliance we join uses, correct? it doesn't have to be based on what tech we use in FT? (as nations)
Usage of External Technology is allowed (I.E. WH40K, Star Trek, Godulan Technology, etc).

Considering that we have that little bit, whatever tech you use (in this case, ST) is allowed.

opps...i apologize for asking a silly question (and its Halo tech i use :p) trying to get a CS server up and i failed to post right after i read godular's post lol

Nation: Doomingsland
Alliance: Galactic Empire
Character One: Darth Greivous (aka PredAlien)
Motivation: Vengeance for all those times Daniel Masaki escaped him
Character Two: High Lord Marshall Skorm
Motivation: Commander of the 1st Imperial Crusader Fleet, he seeks to gain the Doom Emperor's personal favor and convert as many rebels as possible in the process
Character Three: Azaroth
Motivation: The first of the Chaos Converts, he seeks to 'cleanse' the human race, gain favor with the Emperor, force the will of the Dark Gods on everyone, yadda yadda yadda

I also intend to work up a small listing of Freespace and Imperial technologies in the event that some people want to acquire some more of the setting's ambiance.

The Imperial forces are expected to embody the usage of massive amounts of firepower and durability, while the Freespace forces focus more on speed and breaking through defenses. There will even be a "Rebel" version of the Super Star Destroyer.

Nation: Rea Dan
Alliance: Galactic Empire
Character 1: Admiral Colin Valkors (Naval Leader) (http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9680/admiralvalkors8yn.gif)
Motivation: To gain personal wealth and power.

Character 2: General William Veers (Army Leader) (http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/1124/generalveers1cw.png)
Motivation: To further the aims of the Readanian Empire.

Character 3: Jonathon Smith [Darth Magnus] (Head of Special Ops) (http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/3606/elsokaris5qz.jpg)
Motivation: To further the aims of the Readanian Empire.
(Real motive: To become the most powerful being in the Galaxy.)

Nation: Draconic Order
Alliance: Neutral

Character 1: Kaiana (Kaia) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/azureink/PCPortrait03_284_300.jpg)
Motivation:
Kaiana, the second born of the First House, has a carefree, wild spirit. This is because, unlike her brother, she doesn't have much responsibility. Her attitude is that of a teenaged tomboy princess. Spoiled her entire life by their loving father. She, like all other heirs, has been trained in many fighting styles. She prefers the sword to any other weapon, thinking it majestic and untainted, and a true warrior's weapon. She has a razor tongue.

Character 2: Dracuran (Drac) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/azureink/PCPortrait01_284_300.jpg)
Motivation:
Dracuran, the first born of the First House, is the opposite of his younger sister. He is cold and disciplined, rarely getting into fights, but always ending them. Usually after inflicting severe injuries to the one who opposed him. He is always at odds with his sister, whom he sees as not worthy of the title born to her. His single-minded ambition is to become Duke so that he can finally be in control of his life, and those that most annoy him (especially his sister).
He has almost direct control over any major military matter of the planet-nation, since he is the son of the first house and controls the largest fleet assets.

Character 3: Captain Diovere (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/azureink/PCPortrait07_284_300.jpg)
Motivation:
She is the explorer. When Draconic Order leapt to the stars, she was the captain of the first warship, almost all-first contact was done by her. Her kind and friendly attitude won her support at home, so she gets sent where the unknown is.

Cut it down. I don't want RPing of National Leaders unless absolutely necessary, and that second character in group two would count more as a tagalong. The first three characters would work as the main characters, but the other three are effectively unnecessary.

Nation: Pyschotika
Alliance: The Galactic Empire

Character 1:
Name: Andre Oma
Motivation: To serve for the Empire and to hopefully rid of the Rebel alliance.
Picture:
http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/6605/os0398a8ul.jpg

Character 2:
Name: Loma Kicor
Motivation: To aid her friend Kyle, and is in love with Andre but keeps it a secret.
Picture:
http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/9973/animegirlsized9ru.jpg

Character 3:
Name: Kyle Rosh'ja
Motivation: To exceed the ranks of a Sith Apprentice and to one day become a well known Sith Lord.

I couldn't think of much of a motivation to use.

And I am going to use Star Wars tech...from the E-11 Blaster Rifle all the way down to the Lightsaber, plus some Force Grip...now and then...cough..

Bump

Nation: Draconis Nightcrawlis

Alliance: Freespace Alliance

Character 1: Zadeth Tyrneanea
Motivation: To fight the Empire and defeat the darksiders

Character 2: Gilraen Tasardur
Motivation: To avenge her parent’s deaths and fight the Empire

Character 3: Finn Enge
Motivation: To help Gilraen and to fight the Empire

Updated

ALSO:

Added in a section for Infrastructural Roleplayers. These can be filled up by people already tagged with main characters. The purpose of this position is to act as "The Man" with respect to each listed side, as well as the ones who play out the political repurcussions of each adventure. This is generally to ensure that people who do 'important' things, such as breaking into research labs, have somebody operating against them, so that no roleplay is a cakewalk.

On the Freespace side, it would be the Alliance Fleets, any necessary government officials (alliance councilmen and such)

On the Imperial side, it would be the Fleets, government officials.

On the neutral side, it would be any number of annoying pirates, smugglers, riff raff, randomized citizens, door to door insurance salesmen (which would be rather disturbing in hyperspace, ding dong!), and such.

It would be nice to have at least two people for the position on each side.

If you wish to take on this responsibility please say so.

Charcter 1. Name- Hgar Yustilize. Motivation- To blow up things because it's pretty. http://hell3.ru/released/review/monster.jpg Galactic Empire Infrastructural Roleplayer is posssible

Charater 2. Name- Fred Fred. Motivation- bored- Freespace Alliance

Nation: Balrogga Empire
Alliance: Neutral
Character 1: Captain Foster
Motivation: Serving the Emperor and discovering clues to their lost past.
Character 2: Chrysta
Motivation: Finding clues to their past and having fun
Character 3: Chrystal
Motivation: Finding clues to their past and having fun

The crew of The Navigator are searching for lost civilizations and mapping unknown space. They are sent to this new galaxy to start the search here for lost Ta'Nar colonies.

I am planning on continuing the Voyage Thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=336946) here for this purpose.

After being accepted, I will make a post getting the ship and crew from Threshold System to its new location.

EDIT: Please note I plan on only using The Navigator and her crew in this series of RPs, unless she is destroyed. If that happens (I hope not!) I will have to come up with something else.

Zactarn Prime: Unfortunately, for the moment, we are gonna deny access. I'll keep an eye on you to see if you improve in time and might change the decision later.

Balrogga: Updated listing

Ok, I cut it down...

Okeydoke. Did you expand their motivations while you were at it? Looks more detailed than before.

Nation: The Horned Rat
Alliance: Neutral

Character 1: Morducator of Foul Peak
Motivation: He is on a personal quest for simply wealth, nothing less, and always more. He distrusts the two other teams sent out to find some antique crap.
http://us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/skaven/extras/name_gen/images/skyre_promo.jpg

Character 2: Plagrot the infected
Motivation: Pestlins dispatched him to find at least a trace of another artifact the skaven are after. If he finds it, Pestlins will easily dominate the other three greater clans. But others are after it too…
http://us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/skaven/painting/poxcauldron/images/quetch.jpg

Character 3: Thrake the stitched
Motivation: Moulder is a primary rival and ally of pestlins, so trying to stop their envoy from being unopposed, moulder funded two separate groups. One was a greedy warlord(Morducator) who will simply be used as a scapegoat if need be, while Thrake, a massivley mutated master moulder, is the one who must get the prize first.
http://us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/skaven/extras/name_gen/images/moulder_promo.jpg

So all three characters are pretty cut throat against each other, but aren’t below working together to get things done…

BTW, If no one else wants infrastructural RPer for neutrals, I’ll take it…

Okeydoke. Did you expand their motivations while you were at it? Looks more detailed than before.

Actually no... but the less there is, the more detailed the original looks.

I am assuming that we are to (or at least can) make alternate versions of our nations? That is what it sounds like. Obviously everything is downsized, which is fine because I always though that nations of 2 billion being able to controll massive intersteller empires was a little odd. So, on to the application, I will be using a few remakes of my old characters. (for nostalgia value and because I'm lazy) Hopefully that is ok.




Nation: The Great Forge of Gronde
Alliance: Neutral

Character 1: Master Kalgar
Motivation: Mantaining the proud martial traditions of his nation and seeking out new challenges to test his abilities. Prefers to go off on his own instead of staying at his citadel. He only makes major decisions on matters of state if absolutely neccissary

Character 2: Captain Shryker
Motivation: Leader of the elite mercenary group the Death Sting Squadron. Out for money as well as the challenge and exitement of the life. He is one of the best pilotes around.

Character 3: Space Marine Commander Syberius
Motivation: Climbing up the ranks of the Gronde Space marine chapter, upholding the honor of the Great Forge, and improving his own skills. He commands the exploration company. Due to this, he often travels abroad and encounters many interesting people and visits many interesting places.


Ok, there are two things there that would probobly get me denied on the spot unless I explained myself. First of all, Kalgar is there. He is the national "leader." However, the council makes most of the decisions. Kalgar usually goes off to do his own thing, or else acts as a general and/or ambassador. He doesn't like to be surrounded by too many bodygaurds anyways. He will provide an interested character who doesn't "fit the mold" of a typical national leader.

Second is I said Space Marine. I downsized the space marine chapters from 5 1 million strong chapters to a single 5,000 strong chapter.

I will be using my own wh40k inspired technology, though several things have been ommitted so that it abides by the rules of this setting.

National forces are not downsized, it is merely a restriction that the people being 'sent out' are only equipped with but a small portion of these forces, if any at all.

Each Nation is allowed to have a maximum number of ships with their characters, but these will have to be the last resort weapons, as it wouldn't exactly be nice for keeping low-key to jump in with a small war fleet and say you're just shopping for groceries.

THR: List Updated

Gronde: List Updated, however, keep in mind that this is to be a Character Oriented Roleplay setting. One of Sith's major beefs was that you keep nullifying uber-attacks and otherwise trying to 'get away with stuff'. Hopefully I have removed the impetus for such issues in this setting, but please remember, if yer gonna die, die, and be prepared to accept the consequences of having your national leader splattered/captured/blackmailed if such a situation should arise.

And try not to get into an argument with Sith again, please.

When do we start?

Whenever you want to, really. I've pretty much set this up to be sort of like a new NS earth, so you can pretty much start something up whenever. I made the setting, y'all get to make the plotlines. Although, I still need to work up the Freespace and Imperial ship stuff, as well as a list of Community-Held Planets for Freespace, Imperials, and Neutrals.

Work out a few RP thingies with other key participants, set a limit as to how many people can RP in the thread (Like maybe six nations total or something. Wouldn't want it getting cluttered with 'and our ship was romping through the system at JUST the right time to see everything') and have at it.

Oh okay...coolZ!!!!

I"ll send The Navigator through a wormhole into this senario. If anyone wants, thay can build upon my Thread. I would like it to kinda link some of the RPs together.

Nation: Laskon
Alliance: Freespace Alliance
Character 1: Andre Huron, Jedi Master
Motivation: To break the years of tension between the two warring sides.
Character 2: Johnas Kaye, Space Force Commander
Motivation: Leader of the task force with Master Huron, wants to prove himself to his older brother
Character 3: Cardion Vascar, Space Marine Lietenent
Motivation: To keep his squad alive on the planet they were stationed on, which was attacked by unknown assaliants


Certainly hope there's room for me. I'll go look for the threads relating to this, then.

Yea, I'm going to have my three Characters out in space and have there ship break down and send out a distress signal.

Updated Listing for Laskon

Added proto-list of Communally Held Worlds, just to give a place for stuff to happen that doesn't require going into enemy nation's actual space.

Also, to avoid confusion, please add (Heroes & Villains) to the title of any RP concerning the setting.

Nation: Ageaol
Alliance: Galactic Empire
Character 1: Lazarus Mayal
Motivation:To defeat the Rebel Scum and further his own personal power.
Character 2: Lornal Murai
Motivation: To follow his Master and someday become a powerful Sith lord.

Well, three threads to start, looks good so far!

Oh, as an additional rule that I wish to make clear, as I am presently operating as Infrastructural in Klick Klack:

If a nation is RPing in a thread as Infrastructural RPer, they may not involve their characters. This is to avoid any potential advantages one may give him or herself should the urge arise.

I mean come on, it'd be like RPing with yourself. :p

Just to avoid any future difficulties, can we use Executer sized star destroyers? They seem to me to be less of a problem then the other SSD which contain superlasers or are incredibly large.

OOC: Only the GE (by which I mean Unified Sith) is eligible to have them in this RP. Of course, we'll be having our own answer to it, but that's another story.

The Characters cannot. Super Star Destroyers and Freespace Dreadnaughts are specifically communally held vessels and usable only by Infrastructural Roleplayers, if at all.

As an idea, you could edit in the current RP Links into the initial post of this Thread. That way we don't have to search through the entire Thread for them. When one is played out, you can delete it and edit in the new ones.

Just an idea born out of laziness...

A good idea though.

Thanks for the compliment!

A good place for it would be at the bottom under the "INFRASTRUCTURAL ROLEPLAYERS" list.

Listing updated to include Zatarack and the current threads. Also need to put in a few more rules, which I'll prolly do tomorrow.

Now that I think I know how this works, I would like to put one of my systems, Sentinal VIII, up for a communally held area. You will see why when you read the profile:

Sentinal VIII:
Sentinal VIII is a shady pirate sancturary. It used to be a small orderly Gronde colony until the 4th Space Marine chapter moved into the Camari system, thus driving out most of the pirates and outlaws from that system, who all took refuge here. There are a few Gronde research bases, but the rest is free territory and has few Gronde citizens. All of the planets with the exception of one, are either rather desolate or uninhabitable. The one that is habitable is moderately developed and is home to just about anyone who would desire to reside there. There are two outlaw space stations and some other bases. There is an astroid mining operation in the astroid field with about 100,000 workers.


I will be starting an RP set in this system as soon as I get a few extra hours to make the first post.

I have diverted my Voyage Thread to this campaign setting. I left the location the wormhole opened completely undetermined so it could be anywhere that I would be needed for the first RP.

Their mission is to :

1) scout the new area for possible colonies

2) try to find any sign of lost Ta'Nar colonies abandoned a couple thousand years ago

Nation:The Vatican Realms
Alliance: Galactic Empire
Character 1: Darth Rancorous
Motivation: Fiercely Loyal to the destruction of democracy.
Character 2: Darth Morpheous
Motivation: The Brother of Darth Rancorous. Also his best friend and partner.

I'd also like to offer one of my created planets for Galactic Empire rule.

Narkosia

A desert covered world with only a few small lakes. The population is greatly force sensitive. Though only a few ever leave the planet. Notable people are Darth Rancorous and Darth Morpheous.

OOC:

Lately it seems the Sith outnumber the Jedi although there was only supposed to be two according to the movies. I do not really follow Star Wars materials but am I correct? If I am, who are all these Darth (insert name) that keep showing up whenever you look in a new Thread?

You must remember, this is after the jedi purges Palpatine made. It'd be quite sensible that the Sith right now outnumber the Jedi, as even Palpatine would have wanted more Sith on his side then let the Jedi grow steadily stronger.

Edit:

The thing with the two sith was only because they were in hiding from the jedi after the Sith Wars and all that, and of course don't forget about dark jedi, and all the other kinds of force users throughout the galaxy.

Klington: Updated Listing

Vatican Realms: Gonna withhold your name from the listing for the moment. I shall make sure that tabs are kept on ya before we decide whether or not to add you in. Sorta like a background check.

Godular, when are we going to start re-RPing in the Klick-Klack thread? I know we're waiting for the Imps, I suppose... :(

Well, someone Imperial get down to Godular's thread!

~Tag~

OOC: Could we wait for Ageaol to get back...this is kind of bull...your advancing and were paused...so we can't do anything by the time he DOES get back...so just wait for him to respond? That would be lovely ^_^, thanks.


Its certainly not like we were doing that ahead of you all, anything you do next will be at the same time, I suppose.

But you and Ageaol were doing your thing, so I decided to go ahead with my thing. Apologies, though, I should have stopped earlier, but you know, you get caught up in things... :eek: :p

Attention-Getting-Bump

Could use some more people on the Freespace/Imperial sides, y'all!

Sorry I'm just struggling to get into it at the moment, I just get a block when I try to write a post for this.

Nation: Greater Mactopia
Alliance: The Freespace Alliance

Character 1: Jedi Knight Kowani
Motivation: Great Grandfather was killed mercilessly by Anakin Skywalker during the fight in the Jedi Temple. Has sworn to take revenge on the empire that did such acts.

Character 2: Master Sergeant Keith Johnson

I was thinking of....Empire and Freespace interactions on a neutral world; tenuous peace and disputes; focussing majorly on characters.

Call me mad; but would anyone be interested?

HELLL YES!
It would be like Mannan in KOTOR. Good Idea Chronie.

Only if you keep your daemonblade sheathed in Jake's presence! :p

You make me sound so perverse :P

:eek: ! You sick mind, you!

You guys all have sick minds.

*runs and hides*

Ageaol shall be the first to feel my swords penetration! Gogo style!

See? Sick mind.

*flies away*

How kinky :D

Why thank you :D

Anyways, on with my idea!

Heh.

Well, someone Imperial get down to Godular's thread!

Someone should make a thread like a battleground on some remote planet, when the war really begins...

OOC= Out of context or what?

OOC=Out of Character, like your not typing as your country, you typing as the person who plays there country. P.S. Welcome to RPing! If you got any questions ask any of us and we'll help you around.

Greater Mactopia: Normally I would require more experience before allowing anyone in, but your characters do seem intriguing. I'll let ya in, but don't get into trouble, ya hear? So... Updated Listing

Moorington: Gonna withhold your entry for the moment. I want to see you get some more experience in general stuff before I letcha in. Send me the links to some other RPs you're getting into and I'll try to follow them.

People in General: We needs us some more imperials, yo! The side of the Emperor and his ilk is looking a mite outnumbered.

Fine. I'll try and kill one of CW's guys in a topic we're in. That should even things up more. Shouldn't be too hard seeing as he gutted one of mine.

OOC: Should you somehow succeed, you'll merely turn Jake to the Dark Side momentarily, and then you'd be in REAL trouble. :p

Hmmm that's not a bad idea! Kill Konohamaru, turn Jake evil, run the hell away, and let Jake beat the crap out of Andre and hopefully stay evil until he gets to his ship and kills everyone there.

Granted, I said you can only have three characters at any one time. If your character dies in one thread, all that really means is that you're pretty much out of the remainder of the RP.

No harm in coming up with replacements, is there?

Replacements? Oh no... Well if I by some miracle manage to kill CW's main character he'll be pretty hard to replace. He'd better not come back to life again either..

Actually, he DOES have a replacement lined up... Beware of little boy Travis.

DANNY NO BAKA! >THUD< *Masaki flies through several houses from the TK impact*

Oh yeah, I forgot about that little kid. Heh, I'd better pay him a visit. If I can't kill him I can still kill his mommy and possibly tramautize him to put a damper on his Force powers.

Oh, that'd piss Kelvin off...

Mmm... I like the plot idea.

Wait, I have a better idea! I introduce a third character that somehow manages to travel to alternate dimensions. He kidnaps like 30 versions of Travis and then all of them go DANNY NO BAKA! Danny goes bye bye from the major TK attack.

Uh... no.

Fine.. You sure you're not evil?

Attention-Getting Bump again.

Need more people, yo! And somebody needs to notice Balrogga's wayward vessel...

*wakes up*

Huh??

*dozes off again*



OOC:

At this rate I could have landed in the Imperial City unseen and taken over already with all the attention elsewhere...Oh, I already did!

You should Balrogga. Sorry for not checking in, bu I'm busily trying to wrap up like a dozen rPs across multiple forums. Stupid two nation RPing...

Attention-getting Bump

This is a bounty-hunter type RP set in Sentinal VIII. Anyone who is interested, start by posting the character(s) you will be using and possibly a short IC post of them considering the bounty.

I'm interested in getting in on this. Sign me up please.

Freespace Alliance

The Darchon: He dislikes the Imperials with a passion.

Mike O'Neal: He's a very well armed merc, he's in it for the money.

Thomas Catrone: Former Marine, in it for "duty" and "honor".

Nation: The Fallen Races
Allegiance: Neutral

Character 1: AgentFade
Motivation: Is the firstborn son of a famous assassin, so his final lesson was to kill his father. Seeks the many worlds for bounties.

Gronde: Updated listing, the URL is now on the main post

Mini Miehm: Updated listing.
The Fallen Races: Updated listing, your post on Gronde's thread looks promising enough so I'll letcha in.

PRESENTLY NEED A FEW MORE FREESPACE AND IMPERIAL RPERS, THOUGH WE NEED JUST A FEW MORE IMPERIALS THAN FREESPACERS. WANT TO KEEP THE BALANCE, DON'T'CHA'KNOW?

I would get in and RP more if someone would notice the ship I have wandering through the galaxy...

What thread is it in? I'll see if I can deal with it.

The Voyage Thread listed on the bottom of the first post.

Thanks.

Ok, I'll try and get into it.

Edit: Just read it, not entirely sure whats going on. Can you give me the gist on what I need to know to enter?

The thread started out a year ago as a story about my nation going out to explore the stars in an attempt to find some of their lost colonies. In finding them, they hope to locate their origional home. I don't plan on having them even getting close for another year or so but it creates an underlying plotline I can use to direct their goals, technologies (temporal won't help me so I didn't develop any temporal weaponry), or even socialogy decisions. I continued the Thread here by having The Navigator being sent to explore this galaxy while other ships are out in others.

This gives everyone here a chance to interact with the Balrogga Empire. I will use this one ship with the three main characters aboard it in this RP Setting. There will most likely not be any other ships brought in to back them up except in extreme situations. They are basically alone. The ship is also powerful for it's 1000 meter size because of my unique technologies. I believe I might be able to take on a couple SDs if I had to but this is a RP thread, not a warmonger thread. (Tries to look small after that boast)

Right now thay are aproaching the system with the strange sensor readings. It could be ships from someone's nation, a battle, or a dimensional rip. I am giving someone the chance to post what I find when I get there.

I currently plan on taking a neutral stance. I am here to explore this area, not make enemies. I will watch to get the idea what is going on before I try to intervene. I know few here so this would be a chance to make new friends.

So far I have met Chronosia, Godular, and Unified Sith all In Character.

There's got to be some RP I can join.

Don't worry, I'm not a warmongerer. Battle RP's are my weak spot.

I am not afraid to pull out my weapons if I need to but I would rather RP. It is so much better and even interesting to RP something instead of slicing ships into peaces and devouring them into singularities. There is not satisfaction in that.

Anyone is welcome to join in my Voyage Thread (link in first post of this thread) if they want to do some good RPing.

I'm interested, just plotting a way into it. So this system they are now in could be one of mine?

I have deliberately left the description empty of where I am. Anywhere within the galaxy.

Posted, any problems with it just let me know.

Actually I am not cloaked. I am using my Dimensional Drive to Uplift into the 7th Dimension, or T-Space. You probably didn't know about my technology so I will overlook it for now.

I'll assume you were able to detect me by some anomoly in the area.

EDIT:

OOps, I mistyped that. I will have my origional post stand then because I didn't reread it. The Navigator was cloaked instead of Uplifted.

I am writing a post.

Ok, don't worry I tend to find mistakes long after I've posted as well.

Ok, I'm signing up so I can participate in a RP.
Nation: Jaratia, I guess.
Characters:
Jak
Motivation: No motivation, is a bounty hunter so is doing it for the money. Also, sees this a very valuable opportunity to gain eployers and contacts.
Felix
Motivation:See Jak.
Rol
Motivation:See Jak
Occupation: Bounty hunters.
Other notes: They work as a team, and split the money three ways.
Alignment: Neutral..for now?
Pic:http://www.geocities.com/chimpman.geo/NWN/BKRMilitary2.jpg

This looks fun...

Nation: Kendari
Alliance: Neutral
Character 1: Gorteth Mallorak
Motivation: Money, knowledge, entertainment. Gorteth is a pirate, a mercenary, and a bounty hunter, and successful enough that he can pick the side with the more interesting job even if another choice might get him more money.
He is a heavily modified Rogue MX-38 war robot, introduced in this thread: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=399995
He has the ability to upload his personality and memories to a remote location, where he can have a new body constroucted. He has never had to use this last-resort escape, though, and it would take him quite a while to recover.

Character 2: Xhertahk
Motivation: Kill things, gain power, crush freedom.
The result of a KaosKorp experiment that went horribly wrong, Xhertahk is far more evil than any normal Rogue. Most Kendaryn X-class robots have an ethics control randomly set within a range from neutral to very good; his was reversed. He will kill for the fun of it, loathes the very concept of democracy, and will do anything for power. He is also equipped with some experimental devices that even the KaosKorp scientists don't understand.

Character 3: Sara Morgeel
Motivation: Live up to her father's expectations, help the galaxy, protect Democracy
She spent some time in the Kendaryn army, where she swiftly became a minor legend, and now travels throughout the galaxy looking for good deeds to do. I probably won't use her as often as the others, since the Freespace Alliance currently has several more nations than the Galactic Empire.

I'll be using Kendaryn technology, which has a fair amount of magic integrated into it, but this isn't likely to be significant.
Am I in?

List updated for Jaratia and Kendari.

We need more people for Freespace/Imperial. The Good/Bad people are starting to be distinctly outnumbered...

Sorry about that, but the Kendaryn government usually follows a firm policy of neutrality when possible. Unforced exceptions are quite rare, and if they did pick a side it would be the Freespace Alliance, which already outnumbers the Galactic Empire by quite a bit. Xhertahk is quite definitely evil, and Sara Morgeel is firmly on the side of good, so Gorteth is the only one of my characters that's purely neutral.
By the way, I count 8/5/9. Neutral is the largest group, but not by much.

I think I should check Xhertahk's ship with you before using it in anything here. If it's too powerful, I'll be happy to tone it down a bit.

The Harvester is a very heavily modified courier ship. Xhertahk simply took the largest ship he had available and enhanced it with all the spare parts he could get his hands on.

Capacity: Up to 50 passengers and a fair amount of cargo.
Armor: All the battle-steel Xhertahk could get to stay on - enough that it can ignore most small fighters, and take several hits from vessels quite a bit larger than it.
Steering and propulsion: The primary engines from eight smaller ships went into the Harvester's secondary steering system, giving it remarkable agility in battle for a ship of its mass. Its primary steering system has been replaced with four arrays of nine engines slightlly smaller than the originals, and the main drive has been augmented with eight steering engines.
Shielding: While it is not as heavily shielded as most warships its size, the Harvester is capable of weaving multiple shields together for greater strength. It possesses nine shield projecters, and can use up to five of them at once.
Weapons: 2 front-mounted Type IV cannons, 14 Type III turrets, 60 Type IIs, 100 Type Is, 2 missle launchers, and a mine dropper array. Standard Kendaryn ship-based energy weapons are ranked by size from I to V, where I is a standard light fighter-cannon and V can be used to create volcanos from orbit. Fixed mounts can, of course, be mounted on considerably smaller vessels than turrets.

The Harvester also carries three one-man fighters, which have been refitted for remote control. They have also been armed with a single Type II turret each, which takes up most of the space where the cockpit used to be. Xhertahk uses them primarily for scouting and observation, but also as a surprisingly effective light strike force.

What do you say - will that do, or is it too much?

The Navigator is a lot more powerful than your ship so I don't see a problem with it. The others might have something to say about it but I don't.

Seeing as I am from a different galaxy I will keep my ship's abilities secret for now. Godular and Unified Sith has ideas what I can do.

Nation: SeaQuest
Alliance: Neutral

Character 1: Kosh
Picture: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b91/SeaQuest_Sim/Babylon%205/Vorlon.jpg
Motivation: Ambassador Kosh wants to guide members of the younger races to true enlightenment.

Character 2: Thor
Picture: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b91/SeaQuest_Sim/Asgard/1087121371asgard.jpg
Motivation: Thor wants to expand his knowledge of the universe and how it works.

Character 3: Apophis
Picture: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b91/SeaQuest_Sim/Jaffa/apophis.jpg
Motivation: Apophis is the commanding officer of the ship tasked with transporting the other two. He wants to keep the other two safe. He is also a member of the Goa'uld System Lords.

Please note, the SeaQuest homeworld is in the Pegasus galaxy.

Also, here is the ship my characters will be flying around in, the Valkyrie.

Bump, for interest.

Updated directory.

Still need more FreeSpace and Imperial People...

Updated directory.

Still need more FreeSpace and Imperial People...

I'll see if any of the other nations in my region are interested.

Nation: CorpSac
Alliance: Freespace Allaince

Character 1: Alex Smith

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/corpsac/Nationstates/p2.jpg

Motivation: Bounty hunter, his main role in life after leaving the Colonial Marines was to make a living. Knowing that he could do this useing his skills as a bounty hunter he did so. Even tho CorpSac itself as a nation is freespace allaince he and his team are more then happy to hunt anything in any alliance. His team have a stricked code, never give last name, never give infomation to the other sides no matter what it is, Always attepmt to bring the target back alive (more money), never backstab a team mate. Even with them rules Ash is still a good guy at heart.

Character 2:Kayla Smith

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/corpsac/Nationstates/kayla.gif

Motivation: Best Friend of Ash, he doesnt know her past infact its as if she never was born. No record of her can be found within CorpSac tho other places (like Coreworlds) seem to know of her somehow. Her powers are grate and one of the few Magiks users in CorpSac, tho others call her a sith. She seems to take offence to this and most of the people who called her that dont have all there body left. Her Motivation is simple, cos she can or thats what she says really its to pay for her crimes in the past.

Character 3: Evan Smith

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/corpsac/Nationstates/Evan.jpg

Motivation: Evan is strange, her motivation for joining Ash's Bounty hunter group are unknown. Shes been a good influance on Ash since she joined but like Kayla her past is shadow, there is no records of her anywhere in the galaxy. Shes a grate hacker and even Telepathic, for this reason she knows the truth of Kayla and understands more then ash can ever.
