Basically, I want to make my enterance into mainstream NS by becoming a breakaway state, and rebelling against a country that originally occupied me. I will RP the rise of the independence movement to outright war or a peaceful seperation (Though I would perfer war)

I will RP as a country of ten million, though my population is much larger according to the NS stats.

Sure why not?

I'd be more than happy to serve as the brutal occupation force of the Crown Colony of Buristan.

I ask that each of you show me at least two examples of your RP skills, as to better equip me on my choice

*I'd be willing, though I may be a bit smaller than what you're looking for* I'm also in a conflict at the moment, so you may not have the full attention of my military.

The below is a work still in progress, designed to eventually become the first part of an ongoing thread describing life in my nation.

The alarm went off. Lord Alexander Dubruce hit it with one massive hand. It let out one final bleat and then shut off. Dubruce stood, striding to his wardrobe and opening it. He stood for a long while, until a dry voice behind him said, "Much as Clara and I enjoy the sight, you'd probably better stop waffling and put something on. Or did you forget, it's your turn to host the Lord's Conference, today."

"Of course I haven't forgotten, Paul," said Dubruce, turning to see his husband sitting up in bed, with his wife resting her head against his chest. He held a basic black silk shirt and a Throto, a sarong like piece of cloth worn by Kolvokian men on formal occasions.

"Let's see," said Clara. "Maddock can't come because he's in Carbandia. Halthor can't come because... he's off in the wilderness doing whatever it is he does that's earned him all of his tattoos."

The Orlon tattoos were one of the main symbols of the Kolshon. A Kolshon, boy or girl, could not be considered adult until they earned at least one tattoo. These were earned through acts of personal bravery, which had to be related to and judged by the Orloni, the tattoo artists, who were also masters of seeing deceit.

Alexander Dubruce had nine of them, twining around his chest and arms. Paul Dubruce had five, all located on his arms and legs. Clara, who still occasionally went hunting with nothing but a three inch blade, had twenty small tattoos on her abdomen and back.

Lord Halthor was completely covered in the red and black tattoos, to the point where there was no unadorned skin on his body. Alexander let his eyes linger on his spouses’ beautiful forms for a moment longer, before dressing quickly, and going to ensure that all was in place for the conference.

The Conference Hall consisted of an enormous stone table, one of one hundred such, one residing in each Lord’s Hall, and one hundred chairs. The Conference of Lords, appointed on a merit based system, served as one of the two legislative bodies of Kolvokia, the other being the Low House, made up of officials selected by the Emperor. The Conference of Lords was the higher house, able to turn over even decisions made by the Emperor himself, when it became necessary.

At any one time, there could be anywhere between ten and one hundred Lords (a bigender term, incidentally)

I would say that your work puts you at the top of ther list, though I would rather have someone who can devote their entire attention to me, and killing me, but I would rather have it be a nation of under 500 million, at least under 1 billion, as that is my primary gripe with NS II

SAMPLE

Ophu Naval Base

Admiral Dutch Churchill was breifing the special forces that were set to depart

"We have a task force of two dozen men and women, now let's go over rules of engagment and codes once more..."

"Admiral!"

"Yes Sir?!

"As you were. Admiral can I speak to you something has come up."

"No response what so ever?" Asked Admiral Churchill.

"I'm afraid so, Admiral." The Queen said. "And under law we can not mobolize into foreign waters unless we have their approval or answering a call from our allies, or if we become apart of the situation. As we are none of the above we can not mobolize"

"Yes Ma'am, I will inform the ranks."

"Thank you, Admiral you are dismissed."


Lone Vessel, Nationality Aqua Anuien

It was a small sailboat, that had been traveling around the seas. oboard two young newlyweds on their getaway for their wedding. One an Aqua Anuien the other a Kanamian. What should be a passionate getaway has been a disaterous trip. Frequently plaged by bad weather and faulty equipment. The ship had just come out of another bad storm and was sitting idel in the waters.

Roberto was trying to fix the damaged sails, while he let his wife Aya rest. Aya emerged from bellow deck and wrapped her arms around him. She was deeply frightend by the fact they were constantly getting lost and caught in bad storms. "Where are we now?" She asked solemnly.

"Near as I can tell, here, close to Vetaka."

Aya had a glimmer of hope. "Maybe we can dock up there. I know our compass if broken and so is our radio but they may be understanding and let us stop there w/o a passport."

"I don't know. Before we lost radio I think I heard a broadcast warning of piracy in this area."

"Piracy?"

"Aya, your from the country, you don't understand what it's like with sea life. Pirates are all to real in this day and age."

"We're 19 and broke we don't have a thing to offer to them. Please Roberto."

It went against his better judgment but he could tell his wife was frightend and he wanted to ease her fears. "All right." He said. "It's due north of our current position so once starlight comes, we'll be able to follow the north star."

And the odds of being struck by pirates were pretty low. Most pirates targeted big vessels such as cruise ships. Fortunatley the sky was clear the should be abel to sail north by star light

Well, I have plenty of time to RP, and I do have some nice shiny weaponry that would hopefully make up for the fact that I have some troops off fighting Carbandia (check my signature) at least given the fact that independence movements tend to be using second hand weaponry.

Oh, and thanks. -_-

The first one was nice, but I feel that the second one was a little scant on quality (of course, that may be because I am not a fan of news release posts)

SAMPLE

I like it, it is well done, the dialogue, if a little excess, comes naturally.

Please submit a second.

No offense, but if you are planning on tech wanking against me, you need not apply.

SAMPLE B:

The World Was becomming bigger, nations were growing in power, Queendoms and Kingdoms, Empires, and Aqua Anu was no exception. The Royal Ship Carrying her highness Princess Dutch M. Churchill II, docked up after a long trip. Dutch walked off the gainplank listing a little readapting to landfall. Her long and lovely violet hair waving behind her in the gusty wings. But she wasn't happy, the trip had been long and rough, they had to dodge a massive hurricane, to get back alive. They were here, but Dutch felt she would be going out again, this time to more open seas, as opposed to the safety of the newly discoverd Archpelico so near mainland. The guards stood upright and saluted, a minister came to her. "welcome Princess, how was your trip."

"Not well Amedeus. Very rough very stormy."

"Your mother will be pleased to see you and your results."

Dutch came in and knelt before her mother, a common custom in that era of the 1700's.

"Rise my child." Queen Dutch Churchill I. "Please the results from your trek."

"Yes mother." She laid out maps. "It's an amazing sight, so many islands near to us, claimed in the name of you my mother."

"Yes dear, that's wonderful news. But I think it's time to expand our Queendom, beyond our oceans. Take the seas and find what's out there, we need the resorcues, we haven't a freind in this world, so we have to take it into our hands."

"Yes Mother, but I fear the stability of the Interior, with the navy gone so long."

"Need not you worry dear, the navy is the strongest in the world, we can take any lands and slice through any waves. Now rest up before dinner."

"Yes mother."

Later that evening Dutch was dressed in her evening dinner gown. She was watching the storm clouds run in. Her haind maiden walked inside to call her to dinner.

"See outside Maria, a storm's rolling in. It's so much diffrent out at sea, at sea it feels like the clouds are closing in on you to destroy you. Hostel Natives, Pre-Claimed lots, this expedenture will be a nightmare."

She put a smile on and sat down to dinner with her mother they talked of her pending journey, and prepared. It was less than two weeks later, and they departed on the waters to claim new lands.

No offense, but if you are planning on tech wanking against me, you need not apply.

I have no intention of 'tech wanking'. I'm merely stating, that a modern combat force against an independence movement might serve to balance out the fact that my country is already involved in a conflict elsewhere.

BL, would you mind RPing with me a bit, by interviewing a high member of the Movement for a Independent Buristan (working name).

This does not mean that you are going to get to do the RP, just means that I would like to see how you RP with my style.

This is true, I just thought for a second their that you meant that you had some uber-guns, and if you ask me, I think that such a war would be a good motivator, especially if there was a draft unpopular with the Buristanis

Sure, thread will be posted in a minute. I presume you want a news interview.

yes, I do, I think think that his name will be Faroq Abdullah

Dr. Faroq Abdullah

BL, please put it in a story format, not as an interview, as such a RP would not allow me to see how we RP together.

Thread is up.

Are their any others that would like to have the chance, Kolvokia, Aqua Anu, would you guys mind RPing a charater or other type of RP with me, so I can see how well we RP together before I make my final descion?

sure I guess

OOC: Hi,

This is just the sort of RP I've been looking for and I would love to do this. Praetonia is a 19th-century British Empire-type nation, and seems to culturally fit the bill of the kind of country you're looking to occupy you. Praetonia is 6 billion or something ridiculous, but for various IC military, economic and political reasons (as well as for the sake of the RP), she would not deploy a force any larger than what you seem to be looking for - I would be more than willing to accept the possibility of a victory for the Movement for an Independent Buristan.

They look good, I was thinking about doing something with more republican nation, but I would not mind RPing with you due to your quality of posts. Would you mind doing a trial RP first.

I'd be happy to support you - Yafor 2 usually has an eye (or two, or three) out for nice little rebel-breakaway-types (and if you do choose Prae, it would fit into recent (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=512091) developments between us). Alright then, examples of my RP'ing include; this recent internal RP (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=506687), a past war with Generic Empire (albeit from a while ago!) (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=442037), and my most recent thread, currently ongoing and fun (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=515862). I can't guarantee enormous participation, but I will be able to post a few times, or more.

I trust you, as we are having quite the little tango in AMW Cyprus, but I would enjoy RPing with you outside of it.

I wouldn't mind at all.

I was thinking of having a Kolvokian mercenary as a recurring character. We could have something with him and a Buristanian criminal.

ok, you start it up.

Just to clarify, since it's a character RP, I'm thinking of starting it up with the guy in his custody, and them talking on the way to drop the guy off and claim the reward. Okay?

If you end up needing someone to RP as your "oppressors," I can give it a shot once my current RP wraps up.

Here's (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=512831) my current RP. Another relatively recent one is here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=465198).

I know you said you're not a big fan of news report-type RPing, but the recession RP I did had a LOT of people reading it, one of whom said he normally wouldn't be interested in economics-heavy posts or news accounts, but he said something to the effect of "but dammit, I can't stop reading it!" A political science professor even described it as being so real she almost didn't believe it wasn't really happening.
