The Closing Act (FT, Sign-Up)

Amazonian Beasts
15-12-2006, 00:18
The Year is 2455.
The Earth is a different place now, no longer divided between fractured and squabbling countries. After the Third Great War in 2120 resulted in the devestation of China, Korea, Russia, and Germany, three blocs arose from the ashes, of the Americas, Asia, and Africa. War was sparked again in 2143 when the African coalition attacked the Asian national alliance, and lasted on for 72 years, until peace was brokered by the neutral American faction in 2215. The two blocs were devestated, and the American group, sensing opportunity, dove in, conquering both factions and uniting the entire planet at long last, under the Global Foundation. The Foundation's democracy, based from American principles, lasted peacefully for two centuries, as basic space travel was discovered that allowed the GF to establish small colonies on Titan, Mars, Europa, the Moon, Io, and Ganymede.
In 2416, what was considered a breakthrough was discovered: first contact with alien life, when a strange-looking organic exploratory spacecraft crash-landed at Ganymede Base. However, the contact was not good: a misunderstanding between the alien pilots and the human colonists ensued, which resulted in a small skirmish and the deaths of the aliens. The ship was locked down in Ganymede Base, and looked over for further examination. The Humans were not able to decipher any of the organic technology, and the incident fell from site.
It came back into public view when in 2450, three organic-looking ships jumped into the system. GF ships were sent to greet them, and were promptly destroyed by the three alien vessels. A massive influx of alien bioships ensued into the Earth system, as Ganymede, Io, Europa, and Titan all fell in the period of three years to the bukered defenders. In 2454, the alien fleet launched a preemptive Mars attack, but was repulsed. The attack was renewed six months later, and Mars fell. December 2454 opened with the first assault on Earth, and the government, still unable to adequately respond to the bizarre alien technology, was hit badly, and massive alien pushes into Earth proceeded.
Year 2455: The Global Foundation is in turmoil after the GF capital of Paris was levelled by an alien attack. The alien invaders are spread out thin across the world, but are a dominant threat, and to all intents and purposes, winning the war, though densest in the former Western Europe. This RP takes place as the aliens, dubbed by the GF as the "Torrent", begin the final push into free and unoccupied Human territory, the former USA and Canada. The GF government is based in Chicago, now the former US's largest city, and defenses have been erected across the landscape of America. Humans across the American and Canadian lands prepare for the worst as the Torrent gears up for a final assault. Will the aliens prove successful and will humanity fall, or will humanity's final resistance turn back the tide?

Brief Description of the Time's Technology: Technology, while advancing, is nowhere near Star Wars or Star Trek. Energy weapons, for the humans, do not yet exist, and basic bullet-driven guns are the primary infantry and portable man-wielded weapons, though have been developed up to allowing faster rates of fire, better targeting, longer ranges, and harder impacts. Likewise, vehicles are not hover-capable, but are still wheel-driven or basic walker/mech units, ranging from fast scouts to heavy, slathering juggernauts bristling with missiles and covered in guns. Aircraft is faster, sleeker, more maneuverable, though still uses missile and projectile weaponry. The basic Human spacecraft are basic. Energy is provided through fusion reactors, and weapons consist of high-powered, massive slugthrowers or nuclear missile launchers.
The Torrent, however, have the definite technological advantage. Torrent infantry and carried weapons are defined by energy weapons or plasma-coated projectiles, though while packing a larger punch then the human weapons, sacrifice rate of fire. Torrent ground vehicles utilize hover drives to propel them slightly off the ground, allowing for faster speed (though hover ability has some weaknesses as well). Torrent air vehicles are graded-up ground vehicles essentially, not as fast as human air vehicles, but stronger, tougher, and wielding more powerful weaponry. Torrent Space vehicles include sleek fighter craft to large starcraft and transport vessels armed with energy weaponry, though are only slightly stronger than human vessels.

A basic description of the Torrent physically: the Torrent consist of two types of alien creatures: Overminds and Spreaders. Overminds are large, powerful reptiles with all sorts of colored skin, averaging around two feet taller than the average human. Smarter, tougher, stronger, faster...Overminds are dominant, feared forces. Their weakness lies in number, however: the race is the clear minority, and usually only serve in command positions or in elite groups. Spreaders are the grunts of the Torrent force, serving every maintenence position and the bulk of the military. Roughly the height of a human, Spreaders are nonetheless fairly intelligent, though are as weak as the average human and slightly slower. Spreaders are multi-colored arachnids.

Sort of a Halo/Gears of War/Independence Day Twist here. If you can understand either of those, youcan understand this RP pretty easy.

Now, on to the basic RP overview.

1) I will play as Torrent Command, and generally as the aliens; however, if you'd also like to play as them, that's acceptable, simply create a Torrent Character through the below template (however, we'll need more human characters than Torrent characters).
2) You don't have to play as governmental or military forces, and I encourage you to play as vigilantes, civilians simply trying to get out of the way and survive, free-lancing traitors to either species (that's right-if you want to sell out humanity, or sell Torrent technology to the humans, go right ahead), or anything you can really think of for creativity and variety.
3) This isn't a war RP, in the sense of constant battles and tactical planning-simply a character RP set in a war-time scenario. Certainly, battles will arise and struggles fought, but in no war are battles fought night and day, every day of the year, and this is no exception to that rule.
4) If you have any questions, please post them, and I'll do my best to answer them.
5) This is pretty open to plot twists-go ahead and get into situations, stick in twists, etc.
6) Please set up your character with the template below.
7) Have Fun!

Sex:

Physical Description:
History:

Here's a basic example, which will also serve as my primary character-the Torrent Protector (Force Leader)

Species: Torrent Overmind
Name: Itula Vasqi
Sex: Male
Occupation: Torrent Protector
Physical Description: Vasqi is powerfully built for an Overmind, with rippled, navy blue skin. Two bright, yellow eyes burn from his somewhat large head, and the creature is physically imposing, standing at 8'10"-tall for an Overmind as well.
History: Born as an Overmind, Vasqi immediately was in a position of ranking amongst Torrent Society. He entered the military proving grounds at the age of 7 (almost-maturity for the Overminds) and distinguished himself as an impressive strategist and tactician, as well as unnaturally charismatic and persuasive. More than anything, though, Vasqi was marked by a ruthless streak. When the Torrent Government decided to expand to localized systems, including the Earth system, Vasqi, a ranking Overmind in the military, was named Protector. He has come to despise humanity as an 'inferior' race, and wishes to exterminate or enslave the entire species.

I will update this post with everyone's character as time goes on.

Technically, this is NFT-Near Future Tech, what Halo is also classified as. Starship transportation and interstellar movement is certainly beyond the limits of PMT-PMT is simply MT with several twists and very basic space interaction. This isn't close to that-this is significantly farther down the road. NFT fits this bill, but since most people have absolutely no idea what NFT is, I simply labled it as FT.

MT or Modern Tech would probly go no futher then 2025, PMT or Post Modern Tech would go to maybe 2105, NFT or Near Future Tech would go to
2188, which is the year the constitution class starship was built. Future Tech would be anything developed after 2188. What do you think about this timeline?

I suppose that could work, given the current pace of technology development. I certainly wouldn't extend PMT anywhere after 2110 (See Battlefield 2142-that's NFT only 32 years later).

Following this timeline the Marshall Class Destroyer 2105-2155 / 225m / 22.7mil. kg / Crew: 157 / Second Gen Warp Drive ( Warp 3.5 OR 42.9 C is the cruising speed and Warp 3.8 or 54.9c is Max speed ) would be the most advanced ship according to the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology for the end of PMT and the beginning of NFT.
The ships during the beginning of PMT (2025-6 ) would be powered by Chemical or Chemical / Early Fussion Engines ( .2c to .35c ). Followed closely by Fission Ion and Advanced Fussion .35c to .75c ( 200 mil.km./hr. to 375 mil.km./hr.

AB I want to make sure I understand this correctly, the aliens have destroyed Europe and are now starting to assault America or are you saying that America has already fell? What is the statis of Asia, Africa & Oceania? Can you make a map of taken land, and positions of alien ground & orbital instalations and starships? :confused:

To answer all:

GDA: It can wait, that's fine, I'm introducing some new plots anyway.

Ravea: Sounds good. The punitive strikes into Arizona/NM/Cali will happen shortly. (tomorrow or the day after)

Kor: America, Cuba, and Canada are the last Free Bastions of humanity. Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia/Oceana, and Central/South America are all held by the Torrent.
I'll make a map, but I need to finish a poli-sci long paper before I do that...

Oh, and this is one of my two puppets I just made (I made a "The Torrent" puppet) that I'll be using in this RP. I may make another. So if you see "The One Amalgamation" or "The Torrent" it's me.

Ok, since it doesn't want to let my puppet nation do it, I'll log in as AB again...

GDA: That's fine, Quebec can wait as I move against NM/AZ and introduce the other storyline.

Ravea: Sounds good. Don't worry, action in massive proportions will be your way soon, too.

Kor: I'll make a map shortly. America/Canada/Cuba are the last refuges of free humans. Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceana, Central America (including Mexico), and South America are all in the hands of the Torrent. I'll get around to all the System a bit later, but Humans have been run back all the way to Earth and to those three areas.

I appreciate that AB, I have made my first IC post just moments ago. Please remember that the information in this post is unknown to the Torrent and is meant to add spice to the storyline and hopefully raise the chance of humans either eventually beating the Torrent back into space or for a small portion to escape to fight another day .. ie .. a second thread. My characters strongholds and tech mentioned in my post would surely be possible in 2455, and should be shielded from discovery by the earths magnetic poles and the depth of the ocean.


( It's now Tuesday, Dec 19th @ 10:55pm here and I have to go to work. I will post more sometime tomorrow evening, I need your information before I can go into details of any assaults that I might try. )

Sounds good. They're not too particularly interested in Antarctica as it is, as the Torrent are more warm-weather acclimated than cold-weather (not saying they can't do Cold, just they'd prefer not to, and since Antarctica has no major above-ground settlements, there was no point to even looking into it).

I say that you take Canada, and the GF troops in Canada rush to Antartica where they'll have the advantage, while America is in a desperate state for survival, btw i'm back. I'm still sick, so my friend is doing the typing, lol.

No problem. However, the Torrent is going to have some major...issues on hand before long (my most recent post is just the beginning of those). The remaining humans who can't make it to Antarctica will too...
America won't go down quick, nor will Canada, I can assure.

Well, unless you don't want Quebec, i'm retreating to North Western Canada. About two companies worth are already on their way. Of course they could just turn around if need change.

Hey AB I remember you said you don't like ST equipment but I found the Defiant in your reference. I understand it is a sweet ship but, whats up with that? By the way you haven't answered my last post.
