Universe II (Signup thread, FT)

Please note that this was inspired by the Abyss, an idea Mindset came up with. It was also inspired by EII and GII, so kudos to the creators of those. However, Universe II, as I fondly call it, is based on an entirely different premise than the Earths, or the Galaxies, or even the NS we have right now, as it is.

It's something that I've created, in part, to help foster awesome RP and storylines, rather than endless number and techwank. I think, however, this entire universe can be explained more easily with the rules I am about to detail below.

The point list below these rules is both a condensed version of this, however, it does not contain all the updated rules. It gives a rough guide to UII, the full rules give a better one.

Universe II - Rules

1 - This one's a simple one. No godmodding. Furthermore, UII takes a very dim view of godmodding, so any godmodding will result in suspension.

2 - In UII, there's no limit to what you can have. None. Well, except one. The only limit in UII about what you can have, is what you can RP. And by RP, I mean write at least a two or three paragraph spiel on each of your colonies. As such, you will be allowed to claim as much as you want, at first. However, for massive empires and the like, you will be required to RP how the empire holds itself together, how the trade works.. being a massive empire requires a massive amount of RPing.

3 - There's no such thing as numberwanking. So long as you can justify your numbers by RPing how you got them, you can have them. If you just pull your numbers out of your butt, because you want to "winz0r teh warz lol!", that's not part of UII.

4 - There's no such thing as techwanking. There's only godmodding, and godmoding. Thus, planet-killing superlasers are fine. Planet-killing superlasers on all your shuttlecraft will end up with people not RPing with you. Also, keep in mind that FTL and FTLi are viewed as the proverbial weapons and shields in UII. If you have unbreakable FTLi, or FTL that ignores all FTLi entirely, it's godmodding.

5 - UII RPs will be posted here on Jolt. An RP Archive section will be made to store RPs that you want other people to read.

6 - Character development and plot are of utmost importance. If you're only interested in being the guy with 123454321 Star Destroyers, then you're not welcome. If you're interested in being the evil emperor who commands a legion of dastardly, morphing spaceships will steal children from other worlds to suck their lifeforce into your body as so to gain immortality, you're more than welcome here.

7 - You can RP any number of nations, character, etc, on UII. The only limit on your RPing is that you (obviously) cannot RP as someone else's nation. Also note that RPing a techset from a movie/book is fine. RPing characters directly from those techsets is not.

8 - Earth, Jupiter, etc, and its surrounding systems, are claimed. No other claims to the system will apply. If people wish to RP within it, or try and conquer it, they're more than welcome to do so.

9 - Claims have to be approved by me. You claim it, and if it isn't horribly ridiculous/stupid/wanky, you get it. It's just a screening process in order to weed out the.. well, weeds.

10 - (Update) Keep in mind that planet-killing, star-killng, and killng ANYTHING that belongs to someone else requires acceptance. Thus, you cannot RP planets and star blowing up that aren't yours.

11 - (Update: 8/7/06). There is no such thing as puppetwanking in UII. Seeing as you can create empires as large as you like, the entire idea of puppetwanking is redundant. However, again, such things must be reasonably RPed. If you simply pull puppets out left and right to win a war, that violates UII rules. If you have a valid reason for another of your UII nations to help you, it's permissible.

12 - (Update: 8/7/06)). Wars, vendettas, hatreds, alliances.. none of this is brought onto UII. If, in NS, you have a nation fighting another nation, and you 'import' them into UII, you may continue with your war. Wars for purely OOC reasons, or flamewars that degenerate into UII wars will not be tolerated.

13 - (Update: 9/7/06) The my eight-year old brother rule. This one's a simple one, and it has to do with writing. If my eight-year-old brother can do it, it should be in there. For instance, my 8-year old brother can use adjectives. (The blue cat sat on the warm mat). Thus, using adjectives in your RPs is a must. My eight-year old brother can't spell. However, I taught him to use a spellchecker. Therefore, this rule is immensely simple. Use basic grammar, spelling, and description. If you can't spell, or punctuate, there are millions of word-processing programs out there.

13.1 - (Update: 29/7/06) Keep in mind that claims that I cannot read with ease, or have to run through a spellchecker to decipher will not be approved. Simply put; this is a variation on the rule above, to sum up, if I cannot read it, you cannot have it.

Rules - Simple Version

Claims
- You must be prepared to RP your claims
- The Sol system and its surroundings are pre-claimed
- Claims of any size are welcome
- You can RP as different nations (that you create), and so can make multiple claims, so long as you can RP them all.
- Population means nothing. RP skill means everything.

RPing
- Godmodding will result in expulsion
- Being unable to justify your claims, or RP them, will result in those claims being removed.
- FTLi and FTL are regarded as weaponry and shields. Invincible/unstoppable FTLi/FTL will be regarded as godmodding.
- Character development and plot are what it's all about. People who want to win for the sake of winning are not welcome.
- Any kind of tech is welcome.
- RPing techsets is fine, using characters from said techsets is not.
- Nothing too ridiculous. A race of god-like ninjas who can teleport between stars in an instance is over the top. You could claim this, but UII supports ignores just like NS does.

Off-site forums
- RPs that have been completed can be posted there
- Empire descriptions, factbooks, and claims can be posted there
- Universe II Forums (http://z14.invisionfree.com/UniverseII/index.php)

Looks fun mate! Might I join in?

I'll import my own nation if you don't mind, as I'm rather fond of Wanderjar now.

LOL! Its rather late over here, my brain isn't working right I guess ;)

Ok. I'll draw up a region of space for me to control. I'm thinking 5 planets initially. I'll name them the following:

Capital World: New Prussia
Major City World: Lugdunum
Agri-World (Agricultural World): Buchanan
Colonized planets, few cities: Bakeria and Guideria

I'll describe their landscapes when the RP begins. I always love dramatic entries of scenery into my RPs :)

unless you'd rather I not.

Hmm I have wanted to start an FT nation for awhile... Would hyperspace capible fighters be horribly ignored? My backstory will be my planet has decided to forgo the construction of any ship other then fighters/bombers and maybe carriers, thusly they have perfected the craft. I think other then a terraformed moon or two that'll be my only habitable planet. I must think about this.

Oh, and Yuk, you could be the UNSC, but without Earth. Just keep in mind that being the USC, with their governmental system, and weapons, is fine. Using characters from i is not.

(That was directed at everyone, by the way, just a reminder that using other techbases is ok, using other techbases's characters is not)

Again, so long as you don't wank it (Which basically means, if two people can't agree on who's is stronger, they're equal.), it's fine. Oh, and if you're Space Marines/Chaos ones, I won't expect you to take out your 'For the Emperor!' references. So long as the Emperor himself doesn't turn up and start whoopin' butt.

EDIT: I've put Yuk's claim up (Mainly because I'm invading him right now, and I know the extent of his resources), as he's RPing as himself, I believe. However, he'll still need to put a claim for his nation in on the off-site forums. Also, once you've claimed on the off-site forums, you can do whatever you want in UII. I'll kick us off in awhile, by starting a few RPs, I think. (Right after I reply to Yuk and my RP thread)
Arcadeos
08-07-2006, 01:17
I'd be willing to jump on this. If approved, I'll RP two groups: the Dominion of Arcadeos, and the Semi-Nomadic People of Jeshand. I'll have the info finallized Sunday night for you to look over. If you want, I have a work in progress describing the fleet of Arcadeos if you want to see that right now.
Hyperspatial Travel
08-07-2006, 01:27
All you need is your nation's population, a little spiel of history (this isn't necessary, but it does display some of your writing talent, allowing me to gauge if your claim is reasonable or not), and their military numbers/fleet to claim a nation. More detailed information can be posted later, if you wish.

I think I'll import one ship from my 'canon' NS-verse - the pirate ship Strelas'tha.

It's a Sharlin class warcruiser that went rebel after the Earth-Minbari war, and shows up every now and then to bother the Minbari Federation, the Earth Alliance, or pretty much anyone else. It won't have any permanent bases, and there are very few places in the galaxy where Strelas'tha isn't shot at on sight.

Is this cool with you?

Hyperspatial Travel

Just keep in mind that claiming too much, with too little description, won't convince me of your RP talent, and thus may not be granted.
Genites
08-07-2006, 03:50
Ok; noted; we don't have a huge empire; in my nations history (which is in my factbook) we went into isolation 700 years ago by decree of one of our gods (our gods are actually alive and amog us) so we'd have one system and a mothballed fleet; so could I RP expanding into two nearby systems to make it for now a three system 'empire' though we are evil. well trying to be; rping evil is hard. I can put a cut of my RP here if you want?
Taledonia
08-07-2006, 03:51
HT, pure genius with this thing. Mind if I import my nation...as well as the Republic as a whole until other guys sign-up? You know my tech and everything and usually I can pass your realism-nazi tests. Great idea bud.

However, to make things easier for us, I think I'd like all the nations to be grouped together in a little bubble type thing, with Taledonian in the middle. If this is alright with you I'll make a description of everything on those offsite forums.

Hyperspatial Travel
08-07-2006, 03:58
Yes, I rather liked the idea. The problem with NS is that there's a set reality, and everyone has to fit into it with a certain population limit. Thus, most people enforce population = power, otherwise n00bs just build insanely large fleets, and it all goes to pot. In UII, you still have to fit in with reality, but, since you make reality, it's not really a problem.

However, if you want to shove the entire Republic in, that's fine. I'm assuming you'll be asking the other members to RP their own nations?

Also, since you can put your nations wherever you want, putting them all in a cluster should be fine. You could even make the Republic a bit larger, and have a few slave states sitting around, for dramatic effect, if you wanted.
Taledonia
08-07-2006, 04:04
Yeah, I'm planning on doing that. I'll put it on our boards and tell people to join. Not sure if they will though, but I'm fine RPing as them, we have to sort of anyways with the new legion system.

08-07-2006, 04:41
So long as you don't use their characters when RPing them (Without their permission), it'll be fine.

I just need to say one minor thing. Before you sign up on the forums, please post here, stating what you intend to sign up as, that way, it's far, far easier for me to match your Jolt username with your UII nationname, which makes the list expotentially easier to update.
Huntaer
08-07-2006, 15:52
Are you refering to a invisionfree forum, or are you refering to this thread?

Either way, you know both the Alliance and the Empire. HOWEVER, I just got an idea for UII and change it up a bit. This will be taking place after the huntarian civil wars, where the alliance won, and the Republic has been restored to it's propper position in the Galaxy.

I'm basically starting out the Grand Republic durring it's reconstruction efforts.

Remember though, Oteto, before it became Oblivion, hasn't been heard from in centuries. After the Warp storms (read the nation claim thread I wrote about it), noone ever left to go to other systems again, so it's kinda faded away as far as knowing of its existance goes.

grrr, I'll hate myself for this I know I will, k, I don't like FT but I'd like to sign up as the Tey'Pex'Yians.You and me both.

I've got reservations about this as well, since my preference is for hard sci-fi and not space opera, but I'll register the Vah (from Frank Chadwick's RPG 2300 A.D (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2300_AD). (for those unfamiliar with the game, the Vah are what humankind call "the Kafers" [and now you know where I got my nation's name...]).

Hey, can I sign up?

I'd like to be a USSR-style state, I think...


Edit:
The People's Republic of Soviet Colonies (PRSC)
Imperial Guard-style ground tech, with space forces based on my stuff from GII.

That's who I'd like to be.

Could I roleplay a supernatural character? If so, I want to play a character I've had thought up for awhile. Lupul, Incarnation of Shadow. His entire body is made up of shadow. When light hits him, it bends around him, giving him a sort of invisibility. He'll just try and influence universal affairs, causing chaos and discord.

Also, I'd like to remind Chronos and Huntaer that their claims need to be put up on the off-site forums, (despite the fact I both know them fairly well), and Yukatania's claim needs to be put up likewise.

oh okay need a factbook.....


Tarsonis.

Created after the Terran Dominion, Led by Achturas Mensk, collapsed. Revolutionaries took Mensk from his palace and executed him. What ensued was a massive blood bath. in 3450 one faction, the Sons of Tarsonis, put an end through means of diplomacy and military action, to the Warlords and Waring Systems. They united the whole System under the rule of Kerfieg Caleeb. However in the Alanorian Wars, in the year 4488 in the Tarsian Government had been beseiged in the capital city on Korhal before it could muster its Starfleet to come to the rescue, The ruling family was publically executed. Marcus Corunus took over in the the Kings place Today in the year 4567 His son Cerifis Coronus is now the king. He has created a Fuedlistic military society. All citizens of Tarsonis are given military training. They are workers first, giving to the Economy of Tarsonis, however in the need they become soldiers. Most of Tarsonian Spending is spent on the development of Space weapons and ships, thus leading to the Incredible size of the Tarsonian Royal Space Fleet.
In 4515 Tarsonis went to War to stop the Spread of the Zerg, a species that has been eradicating life since before the Tarsonis Government took over. In that war they Recovered Draconis, an angel who was seccond in command of the Zerg. Scientists managed to reverse the Infestation and he became a powerful force in the Tarsonis military. However in 4517 he was exiled due to accusations of trying to assinate King Cerifis. In 4530, Tarsonis fought with Kevcompman against Zaft in the PLANTS REVOLUTION. Tarsonis was defeated by the pure resolve of the ZAFT forces. In 4531, Tarsonis went to war to defeat a Rouge Faction in the Federation of Amazonia attempting to take over the Government. The faction was destroyed, but however the Leader being a skilled force learner, took over anyway. In that war, Droma leader of the Dominion(the rouge faction) employed the Use of the Zerg. Dreaded creatures of the Xel Naga. However, Draconis, sacrificing himself, retook the infestation, and Became leader of the Zerg Again. However he is not as he was before. He remains a faithful Ally to the Tarsonian Government. In 4533 Tarsonis went to war with the Dominion of Amazonia Again. Though the war was ended with no winner, The alliance with Zaft grew much stronger and the two have been strong allies ever since. Recently one System of Tarsonis, the Anarion system. Attempted to break free. A cease fire was implemented and a treaty has been signed. However Tarsonian forces remain in the system to counter a suspected raid from the Dominion of Amazonia.


The brood of Darkness.
(for all past rpers, i changed a few things up)

Created in 4531 The Brood of Darkness, was made from the Remnants of the Zerg ships Droma used in his Coup de tat. However, in 4558 Draconis, Leader of the Brood came into contact with the Xel' Naga the race that sired the zerg. Many thought the Zerg had been created from small uncomplicated life forms. They were wrong. The Zerg were the results of Expiraments on a Tribe of Fallen Angels. These Holy Creatures turned evil, became a mutated and twisted from. Draconis, working with the Xel' Naga, found away to reverse the Mutations. Thousands of Years of Mutations reversed over night. The Brood of Darkness has changed. They no longer stand for infestation, but For Truth and Justice. The angels with the help of Tarsonis, have all been given Valkary Fighters, each with their own Hyperdrive, so now the Angel's can fight in space. These Valkary's however are not the huge blocky tanklike ones of the Tarsonis Mornarians. These are shapped with such smooth texture and Grace, that mimics their pilots. Currently they patrol the Tarsonian/ Amazonian Border, to steam roll any invasion attempts.


The Anarion

Created in this year of 4567 the Anarion is a protectorate State. Under the command of Governor William Wolfhowitzer it is still under the jurisdiction and Protection of the Tarsonian Goverment. The government is currently trying to Get all its things in order.

According to my Black Crusade, which is going to be revealed soon (you'd know if you'd seen the planning thread on the offsite forum), me and HT decided that my eventual goal is to be Earth and the Solar System, as it is the "Cradle of Man". My goal is to destroy Earth.


Right now of course, I just want to eliminate all life from the universe.

6 - Character development and plot are of utmost importance. If you're only interested in being the guy with 123454321 Star Destroyers, then you're not welcome. If you're interested in being the evil emperor who commands a legion of dastardly, morphing spaceships will steal children from other worlds to suck their lifeforce into your body as so to gain immortality, you're more than welcome here.

what is you wanna be both the evil emperor who commands a legion of dastardly, morphing spaceships will steal children from other worlds to suck their lifeforce into your body as so to gain immortality, and who also happens to have a fleet of 123454321 Star Destroyers

Keep in mind that big fleets are fine. Xessmithia has a fleet that dwarfs every other UII fleet put together and doubled. But, he realises that, in an environment where everyone else is really small, no-one will want to RP with his giant navy, so he's self-limited himself to make the RP more fun.

Oh I doubt he could defeat the Systems Commonwealth, rightful power over three galaxies from the Milky Way to the Andromeda to the Triangulum, Light of Civilization and Glory of Liberty, in battle. At least that's what we tell everybody, in reality though, our 10,000 year-old empire lacks the infrastructure to mobilize against an outside invasion en masse... ehem...

BTW, the Alaskans use very different technology from Warhammer. Their power lies in spaceships, not land troops (the Alaska system has no planets, merely asteroid fields). I see them not as a true combatant, but as a support nation - they possess nearly inexhaustible mineral wealth.
