KNN-Khyzerian News Network has heard that Her Highness, Princess Elizabeth of Khyzeria has been kidnapped. Sources tell us that the fourteen year old and critically ill princess could be in the hands of "enemies of the State" and that she may be in danger. A doctor says she may pass away if treatment is not given to her, due to her illness. We will bring you more information as this story develops......

--------------
Hello there. My nation of Khyzeria is under a dictatorship and has been dealing with a upsurge of rebel activity. I've had some experience with role play and after reading some of the RP's on this forum, I've decided to begin one of my own, even though I am a complete newbie to NS.

The idea is that a rebel group takes one of the daughters of the figurehead Emperor of Khyzeria hostage and says they will release her if their demands are met. Though this particular group did not consider kidnapping, "zealous elements" went through with it.

The Emperor, Emperor Johannes VIII is considering implementing a form of the "Meiji Restoration", as he compares the reigning Government to be like the Tokugawa Shogunate.

However, there is a twist to the story. The rebels do not know that the Princess is ill with a "unknown disorder" and if not given the proper treatment, will pass away. The rebels are torn between risking capture and risking her death. They consider getting their hands on a doctor.

The RP can end in a variety of ways. I would like this RP to be the beginning of another possible RP which would have Khyzeria return to the more liked constitutional monarchy.

I am looking for people to play as the rebels. As for the ideology of the rebels, I am thinking of Communism, Fascism, possibly Neo-Nazism or just people who want reform.

Thank you for your time in reading this.

If anyone has a suggestion for my RP, then please tell me of it. Thank you.

To clarify on her illness, it is a form of diabetes that requires her taking doses of medicine. If she does not, then she will have problems eventually leading to her passing away.

OOC: I like to limit my external relations, but I'll giver you a little advice since you're new. Welecome by the way, this can be quite a fun game.
First it's customary for people to use IC and OOC tags in posts to distinguish betweeen being in character (IC) or our of character (OOC). It helps readers know when someone is writing the story of the RP, or when writing about the RP as the person and not the nation.
I hope that helps.
I'm sorry I can't get ICly involved right now, although I may later if things don't pick up for you. My nation ICly doesn't get along with European monarchies very often, and so rarely deals with them.
Once again, welecome to NS.

Thanks for the information, DL. My nation is not a European monarchy if you are thinking that. Anyway, thanks for the information.

I'd love to get involved with my special forces to help rescue the girl

OOC: Here is some information on Khyzeria under its government:

-Government is based on Japanese militarism, Tokugawa Shogunate and other influences.
-Parliament is mostly in line to the Party, the Monarchy is restricted but still exists
-Televisions are censored and only "acceptable matter" is allowed to be aired
-Groups of people are classified in a scale of one to five. Rapists, pedophiles and traitors are number 1, meaning "worthy of execution".
-Despite the "moral uprightness" of the government, according to a famous Khyzerian author, "Undesirables" as they are called work in the government. The groups mentioned above are some of the "Undesirables"
-Dissenters are forming groups and considering revolutionary activities.

I'd love to get involved with my special forces to help rescue the girl

That would be good, Kanami. Thanks for your interest. Also, I am considering to have the rebels torn between returning her and facing capture, letting her pass away and trying to get her medicine, perhaps by getting a doctor or trying to get medicine, even if it is not her prescription.

woah we posted at the same time! Anyway no trouble and welcome to the game.

That is quite a feat. Also, thank you (and to DL) for your welcome(s).

[OOC: Welcome to Nation-States, enjoy your stay. If you want, I'll roleplay the rebels for you. For an added twist, why don't the rebel group one fighting for a constitutional monarchy of sorts? But they are obviously unaware that their 'figurehead' Emperor is planning the same thing. So once they find out, it only complicates matters.]

Thank you for your welcome. I don't mind if you play the rebels. Also, I was thinking the rebels could support a different ideology, etc perhaps. Anyway, thanks for your welcome and thanks for offering to roleplay as the rebels.

[OOC: Ok then. Fascism and Neo-Nazism is too, in my opinion, close to the current form of government. Maybe that is what you want, so that public vote swings in favor of the Emperor's ideaology? Communism is the other alternative, which I don't mind to roleplay either. All I need is a rough-map, or a country that Khyzeria is shaped similar to. Along with how you'd like me to open this up.]

I will answer in pointform:

-I was thinking the rebels could follow a mix of systems. However, there may not be just one rebel group in operation....

-The Emperor has not revealed his beliefs, etc to anyone

-Khyzeria is shaped similar to the "nation" of Bergonia (http://www.bergonia.org/) but not in the same location. The only similarity between the two is the shape of the two nations.

-I was thinking Elizabeth could be kidnapped late at night while working on papers from her tutor perhaps. If you have any suggestions, you can tell me them.

OOC: I would also love to get involved as the rebels. I was thinking maybe having two rebel groups, thinking along the lines of Bolsheviks/Mensheviks with slightly different ideologies, but in this case they are both militant? Or a fight between three ideologies? Such as communism, fascism and the royalists.

If not Id be happy to find another role in this RP, such as foreign military aid for one side. Feedback?

whew it looks like I'll have some heavy oppostion

A fight between several idelogies would be ok. Also, the "royalists", etc would support a constitutional monarchy, as it was before. You could perhaps play another rebel group watching this event closely. If you have any ideas of what you would like to do, you can just tell me. Thanks.

[OOC: I see. As for how to kidnap the princess, I think your idea is best and most simple. Though to abduct a princess from her palace is not an easy job. It would require help from the 'inside', so maybe I could have some friends inside of the palace?

As for ideaology and multiple rebel groups. It would be interesting to see something along the lines of me taking the princess, and once I realize she is going to die, try to get her to a doctor. However, the other rebel group siezes the moment and a semi-war breaks out between us. I'm trying to get her some help, and so are they, just after they kill my guys. It would help you in your future RP to overthrow the dictatorship since it would show the government as weak since two rebels groups are fighting over a kidnapped princess that they cannot seem to get back.

Humilation is the worst injury.]

Jagada, I would like to try your inside friends idea. I think it would be an ok addition. Also, as for the semi-war idea, that could work perhaps, it seems pretty ok for the RP. Anywho, thank you for your ideas, etc. Sorry this is a short reply but I have to go offline soon.

OOC: If we got what ideology we are fighting under sorted, I reckon this would work quite well. I didnt quite understand the semi-war thing in my sleepiness though, but I understand it enough to have a few idea. I think Ill unveil them when the time comes though.

Communism-Fascism-Constitutional Monarchists, correct? So who is who?

In this RP, there is only this rebel group for now. I am hoping this RP could have other RP’s branch from it so that we can RP the fall of the Khyzerian Government. I think Jagada is going to deal with this particular group’s ideology. Thank you for your interest, Aleard.

I am thinking of starting soon but I would like to know if anyone else is interested.

Anyone else interested in joining in? If not, then I will start soon.

i was thinking about joining...as rebels if i did..

If I join, I will not participate actively, but rather as supporting the rebels - our aim is nothing in particular, just something to weaken the existing monarchy and prevent the state from becoming too powerful.

I don't mind if you just support the rebels like that. However, the monarchy is restricted in power, due to the influence of the current government.

I think Jagada is going to be the leader of the group of rebels. Perhaps you could be a soldier or an officer or something?

I will serve on the rebel side as a commander/officer of a group under some one else...i will make a single charactor.

Sure, that would be ok for this RP. Note that in this RP we only have one rebel group. There may be two perhaps, still thinking on that. I am thinking of starting soon as well.

Best to start it as soon as possible

No trouble at all

I feel obliged now to keep it that way ^^

You don't want the monarchy to see the loosening of restrictions?

Actually, I don't really care - I just want something to do. As long as it's constructive ^^

Of course, I'll be pursuing anything that diverts the attention of your country upon its domestic turmoil. The state that is at war with itself ought not wage war with others (although in practice, it's been quite the opposite...). Heck, I'll finance both sides, just to make a civil war out of this :p

I don't think you know this, but I am thinking on having this RP lead to others that depict the fall of the current government. Thanks for your interest in this by the way. Also, your nation is based on Korea?

I read the introduction, I got as much information as I could, and I still think that it doesn't deter what I intend to do. Of course, as we all know, intentions do not equate to outcomes, and whatever I may want you to do does not necessarily mean that it is going to happen that way.

Of course, in the long run, I certainly hope that your country doesn't become a magnanimous cesspool of incessant civil strife. I can draw efforts to make that a reality, but hopefully the resolve of your people will be such that it does not last or is perhaps rebuffed and instead a stronger union is made. Whatever happens is up to you, but if by your permission, I may make strategic advances to support the measures that fit my country best, as long as it contributes to something in the RP that is equally useful and good to you in the long run.

If that makes no sense, then in layman's terms, I'll play bully while you try to stand up on two feet.

And yes, it is a Korean state, although not Korea precisely.

I am starting now. The title of the new thread will be "A Rose Among Weeds", referring to Elizabeth as the rose and well...you should know what the weeds are.

Just created the thread, it is "A Rose Among Weeds". We can now begin.

Also as a rebel commander can i attack some goverment troops on a road or somthing? to open up for my charactor?

Before you post, do you think we should wait for Jagada and the others?

I don't know about that, I think Jagada or one of the others may be doing that.

Well ok? but isn't there a Rebel offencive planned? it would be small unit action..nothing like taking a city! just an introduction....but what ever you think is right, it's your rp..

Also i need to know what this place looks like...

Thanks..

You want to know what the area around the Autumn Palace looks like?

Also, I think we should wait before any offensives are to be carried out.

Yeah i need to know what your nation looks like...

Also:

Sounds good to me, offencives can wait... :) ..i could just post a little about my charactor and what not..maybe once the Rebel commander posts? i dunno..maybe before?

Can I participate in this rp? It seems to interest me.

"Bergonia" is what I based Khyzeria on somewhat. This link goes to a description of the weather, etc of "Bergonia" but I may make changes to suit Khyzeria.

Also, you could post about your character, like an introduction, perhaps you could have him as a mercenary? I guess but don't have him try to take the Princess, for I think the rebel commander and/or others are going to do that.

You can if you want to. Do you want to be a member of the Rebels perhaps?

Alright.

Alright.

If you want, you can post a bio. Or, perhaps you could be an investigator. Or just be a part of the rebels.

I remain open to funding dissidents/rebels/people covertly.

Alright.

Good to see you Canadstein, yet another rp together!

I remain open to funding dissidents/rebels/people covertly.

You can fund the rebels if you want, I guess. You can talk to Jagada about that perhaps, I think he's leading the rebels.

Osteia, perhaps your character could be a mercenary?

I've given some information about Elizabeth in the thread I created. Just so you know about the person who the rebels will kidnap.

Osteia, perhaps your character could be a mercenary?


A mercenary for whom exactly?

The rebels.

Works for me... :)

I'm thinking about scrapping this.

Anyone want to be the rebels/rebel commander, etc? I want to get this going.

Does anyone want to be the rebels/rebel commander? If not, I'm thinking about scrapping this idea because we can't seem to get it going.

I'm going to scrap this, I'm thinking of starting a new RP or simply skip everything and just have the Khyzerian Government be replaced.
