Eight civil wars, so far. This is my ninth, my last, and my final phase of perfecting Jenrak into something more than a series of conglomerate clans of religious turbulence. I have the economics done, the social system done, the abolition of the caste system and the general heightened respect for leadership as well as religious tolerance and outer city states under control. Now, who will lead? Hence, my last civil war.

There are two candidates, both equally valid as they are both descendants of the first king, Lord Vaaz'Harakauzru of the sixth dune. They also were both blessed as true children of Enkur by the former Tsellian representative Therax, and both are respected for their particular traits. So here are the two factions:

Arcarum Arborgard Serptine Dreskisk, 13th heir to the Tongue Throne, highest priest of the Hhrekkashaun Clan of the silver soldiers; high Sadicistra Lord and head of the Biological and Chemical Weaponry development project: Arcarum Dreskisk is the one who launched Jenrak out of isolation and inner fighting, uniting the nation into a single entity before widening its borders. Instrumental in defending against Sandurians, Rithos, Krejei and other unsavory foes, Arcarum is an effective battlefield and focuses largely on the maneuvering of logistics to allow him the first strike against an opponent. One of the four Eye of the Sadicistra, Arcarum is responsible for the many genocides that have occurred in the Aulok plains. His empire, West Jenrak, is vast, militaristic, disciplined and highly proficient in the use of Biochemical Weaponry and Toxic Warfare. His military consists of the Lancers, the Sadicistra, the Sirens and more traditional Jenrakian systems. He is a staunch supporter of the aristocracy, the nobility and the ideas of the caste system.

Suriga Kataask: The younger of the brothers, Suriga hails from the minor branch Kataask family, a tactician under Arcarum during the first Jenrakian Civil War. A skilled guerrilla fighter and intelligence gatherer, Suriga is proficient in economic warfare - the use of embargoes, leeways, loopholes and the application of diplomatic warfare. He prefers to apply high levels of incredibly advanced technology towards his military, focusing on the advancements of biotechnology and pathological research and development. He believes in the decision towards the people, and that a weak country with weak people should accept that condition and deal with it. A pragmatist, he eschews religion as merely nothing more than an excuse for corruption within the political system, and although Tsellian, does not worship Enkur as much as the normal Jenrakian does. Leader of the small, yet highly advanced and wealthy modern business corporation based East Jenrak, Suriga's military consists of strike forces designed to deal quick, decisive strikes to prevent enemy retaliation. His military consists of Menekrungo, Genkon, Sarakunjo and more. He believes in equality of social status and is a staunch advocate against the caste system, slavery, and most importantly to Jenrakian culture, cannibalism.

Now you have seen both sides. It's a matter of choosing the crazy, manipulative yet still loved older brother, or the younger, distrustful yet compassionate younger brother. As you have seen, it is a reversal of many revolutions, as the government in power (Suriga) is the one that employs guerrilla tactics to achieve victory.

Anybody interested?

Tag for interest, though I am not sure to what scale or capacity I would be involved.

Isn't tagging frowned upon these days?

I'm on the brink of war myself, but I might be able to deploy a small contingent in the war.

I don't know where I got the idea, but for some reason I thought Arcarum was dead. Did I miss something?

My nation, which is highly agnostic/atheist, would definitely support Suriga. I don't know how much, and I can't decide that until I see who else signs up. I probably WON'T be throwing hundreds of thousands of troops into the region regardless.

Sign me up.

He was lit on fire, but then jumped into the Viraigius River. He's alive, but he's confined in a wheel chair and smells like BBQ.

That's good. If alot of big, major players who can kick my ass get involved, I'll probably just fight a proxy war. If it's confined to nations that are virtually my size and a few larger, I'll do it officially.

I rarely fight using large amount of units, as anyone who fought me knows, so don't worry about it. A big waste of money and infrastructure when you're an economist.

what's tagging?

We have a subscribe feature now for threads. Originally posters would 'tag' threads they find interesting or want to refer back to later by posting some sort of 'tag' thread. It can be a blatant 'tag' or something more subtle like someone RPing their leader taking notice of something happening in another country. This way, when the person searches for threads they were in later, they'll see the one they tagged almost immediately.

Isn't tagging frowned upon these days?

Not entirely. Especially not in an OOC thread where someone is asking if anyone is interested; I could have left off the word "tag" and just written, "I am interested." I'd say it is more frowned upon in IC threads and something you just want to read rather than respond in.

If I had just hit subscribe (which I did anyway), you would not know that I was interested in participating.

I agree totally. It's hard to get any type of financial return then, as well.

Indeed. It's best to fight with things intact. The tongue is deadlier than the truncheon, for it is the devil's tool.

Ah, makes sense.

Alright, I'm interested, but is it possible to get a quick summary of the previous wars that I understand have happened so far? I may not have the biggest nation, but I still lend my minor support to Suriga Kataask. And though the tongue may be sharp and the wit quick, the pen is mightier than the sword for it holds undeniable proof of what has been said.

I might join later, but I want to see what happens first. ;)

Quick summary;

1st Civil War: Arcarum leads rebellion against corrupt government. Wins.

2nd Civil War: Arcarum leads new government in defense against on coming Ssessloth provinces to the east. Loses.

3rd Civil War: Arcarum leads rebellion against Ssessloth enemies. Wins.


4th Civil War: Arcarum leads against rogue general Nahk Territurari. Loses.

5th Civil War: Suriga leads against rogue general Nahk Territurari. Wins.

6th Civil War: Saerus battles Ashili in aristocratic war. Loses.

7th: Jenrak engages in war against the Revenant and Gelectriax. Wins, though seemingly killed.

8th: Suriga's rise to power, battles against the heirs of Arcarum. Wins.

I might join later, but I want to see what happens first. ;)

Aight, man. Don't join too late, though, if you are planning on joining at all.

Alright! Thanks for the background. It helps set the stage. We can have as little or as much involvement as we want right? Or would you prefer us to be at/do something you have selected for us?

Okay, before I join I would like to know one thing. Where is this taking place?

My place.

My place.

Okay I feel like a dumb ass now. lol :D

I'll send a division or two depending on how large the war is.

Great! I've been meaning for a long time to get involved with on of the Jenrak civil wars. And I have an organization that is fit for it. I believe you can count in at least a corp-sized group of my Waffen SV to show up in support of Suriga. They like a challenge; and who better than the underdog?

I might join the younger brother, but i don't know a lot so...

Please clarify..

"The younger of the brothers, Suriga hails from the minor branch Kataask family"

don't the brothers hail from exactly the same branch?

hi ECC!

Ah, very nice. Although he is the current king, Suriga controls a small sphere of influence in compared to Arcarum. So yes, Suriga would be the underdog.

What don't you know?

Please clarify..

"The younger of the brothers, Suriga hails from the minor branch Kataask family"

don't the brothers hail from exactly the same branch?

The Kataask family is a shoot-off of the Serptine family after Kataask was ejected from the six high houses (Serptine, Herrikuarun, Orodome, Vijun, Klekkashuun, and formerly Kataask). The way the family system was structured in that there were six sons of the former Lord Kellak whom were all legitimate heirs to the throne. However, as Jenrakian culture each son born within the main family would be given a different name.

Kellak Serptine is the head, and such his first son would be given the name of Serptine. His next son would be placed under the Serptine name as a branch name of Herrikuarun. Although by blood they are still within the same family, Kataask is culturally and legally a shoot-off name of the Serptine family. Hence, although Suriga is Arcarum's brother, he is inferior due to being born after. Jenrakian lineage works differently than other lineages, but the culture is just built that way.

I don't think i know enough in general.. i read and it goes through one ear and out the next.

Hi back!

Exactly.:D Well, i think i have short term memory loss.

What the heck, I'll join the younger brother Suriga.

Hmm, it seems everybody is supporting Suriga. I'm surprised nobody is supporting Arcarum...

Suriga's my style...

Why don't you on the first page's reply put the countries and their sides?

I guarantee half of the people will post 1 or 2 posts and then disappear. So I'm not setting anybody in stone, because that will simply hurt my expectations.

I've already said why Suriga would be the choice of the Avisronian government. To put it simply, they hate religion. I really do wish someone would support the other dude though.

I'd probably use the Sanctum Mafia in this, so they would help Arcarum because Surgia is anti-religion (plus they'd hope to loot some of his advanced technology).

Rats! You start this when you know I’m taking a break and have little time to rp. I have been in most of those civil wars, too. The only problem is that I couldn’t pick which side to back with the United Dominion as Arborgard is the man that signed the alliance with my nation and his. Maybe that would be whom I back as the Count doesn’t like Suriga for what he wants to do to Jenrak.

I know where a few of my body will side, so I see blood going against each other. And that's royal blood, too. :D

Anyways, as I don’t have that much time, I can only say I’m interested. I have only started my second week of my five week summer course.

Ah, yeah, sorry about that. There's going to be a few of my characters going against each other as well. As a spoiler, you can also expect a schism within the Menekrungo Vizithkanju.

Heheh. The Sanctum Mafia doesn't have much in the way of high technology - just little bits and pieces.

Not saying it is going to happen, just that it would be their reason for supporting him.

Yeah, I could see how that would work out. And then there's Sly'lioth and Authaulus and the other Temsplace Lords to contend with too. Even without anybody helping him, Arcarum is going to have alot of power.

:confused:

:confused:

What's with the face?

I'm losing track of the conversation-oh well.

And, what does MT stand for?

Modern Tech.

Technology feasible within our limits in the next ten years. Hard to discern because we're unable to determine what our feasible current technology is.

So true, just look at computers on the market right now. The instant they hit store shelves physically or virtually, there's newer, better technology out there that companies are perfecting to replace what's out there now. So not only is it nearly impossible to predict the future of technology, but it's also impossible to keep up with the technology of today. So if you go even 5 years into the future with your technology, you're neck deep in science fiction or at least science idealism.

You're right.

Yeah, I could see how that would work out. And then there's Sly'lioth and Authaulus and the other Temsplace Lords to contend with too. Even without anybody helping him, Arcarum is going to have alot of power.

To me, the only top Temsplace Lords are those two and Farkas. You know if the Count picks a side, I’ll attack everybody that aids the other side via my bases in the land around Jenrak. FYI to those whom may not know, I have colonies around Jenrak that I gained by aiding Jenrak in a few wars.

When you say attack, you mean attack the forces in Jenrak opposing the side you support, right?

(Which is what you do in war anyway...)

Yeah.

Suriga is pretty hard pressed.

The RP will start soon, probably on Sunday. It'll be told in a manner much like a flashback, so anybody have a problem with italics?

Nope.

Green Hawk will support Suriga Kataask because it will. :rolleyes: Also, for the fact that his fighting style matches Green Hawks', in an odd way. Since Green Hawk believes in some of the things Suriga believes in is also a plus. The truth is I like rp'ing the underdog or helping the underdog. :cool:

Something tells me Suriga isn't the underdog any more...

Suriga is outnumbered 10:1. Then again, one of his soldiers equate to 10 of Arcarum's, due to their extreme training, discipline and technology. So they're really, really strong, but difficult to replace.

So, they're equal basically.

So, they're equal basically.

Ah, but remember that war isn't simply that alone. If Arcarum outnumbers him with men, then he muster up an attack force much swifter since he has a stronger logistics line.

Good point, but i can never follow those things. I try, however.

That's all that matters.

Oh, and to everyone, I expect a good quality of roleplaying. I don't want half-assed roleplaying here. If you are giving me nothing but crap posts and OOC comments (which you by god should not), I will ask you to abstain from being in this roleplay. I'm not very strict, so don't worry, but I do have standards (as any sane person would).

It'll be labelled closed, but anyone who has expressed in this thread is allowed to join. However, if you are unsure of whether I allow you or not, it is better to ask.

I Like to think i am a good releplayer since i was in a game where you had to roleplay a certain character for 2 years so.. ;D

As Progressive Atheists, We want to move on from this conflict as fast as possible and hopefully the candidate we choose will make progression for his country the top priority.

Im planning in this roleplay to be called upon when you forces have been depleted halfway through. We'll be on Suriga's Side.

PS. Jenrak doesn't have many cities, but they are ranged from 18 million to 98 million. They're large cities, so if one falls, whoever lost it is usually fucked.

I found out I had a crapload of work to do on Sunday. They're not even paying me double time, the cheap bastards.

Why don't you make the map without all of the he is hiding here, random islands, stuff like that. It looks more professional.

Fine, fine. It'll take me a bit to draw it.

(Which is what you do in war anyway...)

Maybe I didn’t say it right, I’m bad about that sometimes. I’m going to attack everybody that aids the other side that I pick. Example: Say the Count and the United Senate vote to back Arborgard in this civil war, the Count will declare open season on all those whom aid Suriga.

I’ll get a post in soon. Let’s hope it doesn’t move to fast for me.

About my provinces near Jenrak, one is located in my Sanduras land called the Dominionite Protectorate of Habrigberg and the other is my Rithman-naar land called the Dominionite Protectorate of Wolfsburg. One is in the north and the other is in the south. Wolfsburg is coastal land and Habrigberg doesn’t have port, but it is mostly were my air force hangs out at. The army that use to be in Jenrak has been divided between those two colonies.

The distinction I was tryint to draw was where you were going to attack those that opposed your side... in Jenrak or in those other people's countries.

Likely I’ll attack those whom are in Jenrak or near Jenrakian waters. I should have said that already.

Not sure how long it'll take, since I am a busy fella. But I'll get one up.

Clearly that stab was a compliment in disguise :p

My ORBAT is going to look awfully small for the Mafia... don't have much to commit to battle.

To be as professional and out of the box in regards to the Paint image made map...WTF? lol. I have no way of using it. There no key telling me what the red is, or even little black dots detailing the exact placement of a city. Theres not even a blue squiggly to detail a river...ok, enough bashing, I understand you did it quick...however a detailed map can make the difference between "my forces ran into yours out in the open" to "my regiment flanked around this forested hill area to the outskirts of the city" type of deal...its important...



*wipes forehead* Ok...sorry for the rant. Nothing personal Jenrak.

Yeah, I know. I'm thinking of probably just drawing it by hand. Probably easier.

Out of present curiosity, is there a river separating the area between Raphalim and Azku? I will have my men land near Azku if thats ok with you.

EDIT: Also, do you have some kind of city-map of Azuk, perhaps a framework of its streets? If you don't then I can draw one up for you using physical details you describe...

Jenrak I hate to say this, but I don't think I'm going to be able to join your rp. I don't really trust myself that I'll keep posting and I'm making up my own rp which will put Green Hawk out of shape for sometime. However, I'm tagging it and I'm going to read it every chance I get. To everyone who has posted thus far, simply wonderful. Bravo! :D

Since I'm an over-eager type of guy, I went ahead and made a practice city-map of Azuk for you to see what I can do. I included some wide "park" places and a curtain wall around the city (since you seem to incorporate some medieval things into your rps, like swords; so why not a massive curtain wall?) with towers and gates. I made a small distance measurement thingy you can see on the map too, to judge distance with and which I can raise if the city seems too small for Azuk's size. Personally I think I did a bang-up job.

I don't know a lot about your characters, but from what I've seen this far is really good. I wish I could make up characters and develop them like you guys. :( Actually, I've been working on this cool samurai like guy for a few weeks now, but back to the subject. Everything I read (including characters) is awesome.

Out of present curiosity, is there a river separating the area between Raphalim and Azku? I will have my men land near Azku if thats ok with you.

There are zero rivers. There are zero plains, mountains, nothing of that sort. Jenrak is one giant wasteland of a desert, nothing more than a dune sea. The Viraigius, highly polluted, is their only source of water. It's not a very pretty geography.

Two Hector class battleships ((UDN Liberator Shark and UDN The Courage Blade))
Twenty Sovremenny class general purpose destroyers
Ten Cassard class air defense frigates
A number of support ships that are good for a fleet this size.

Cool to use.

I'm surprise you actually drew one. You have more commitment in my thread than I do.

Alright - sorry for not hopping in yet, I was taking my time taking in the pleasures of the final installment of Harry Potter. And tomorrow I am gone all day, but do not fear... the Mafia shall arrive.

Very nice.

I’m thinking that a run in with Selene’s empire and DMG’s mafia will happen in the near future. Are you up to it, DMG?

I am up for whatever... though to note that the Mafia really don't have that much in the way of equipment and technology, so their tactics will be less than standard warfare.

Ah…well, your boys could always try to get a foothold in Jenrak, but that would be a death wish as Selene has control over mostly everything in the crime world.

Yeah, dunno... they are a strange type of Mafia. Kind of self-righteous, bent on bringing about the Kingdom of God, but participate in illegal activities too.

Yeah, they do sound weird and cool at the same time.

Aye, they are modern crusaders.

I'm not going to be able to respond for a week. Going on vacation. I apologize. At least dont let Azuk fall for that length of time.

Garr... I suck

I won't let Azku fall. I won't be able to do much anyways, haha. Just waiting for you guys to do something so I can reply.

Yeah, guys, I’m the only one really posting with Jenrak and that’s sad as I don’t have that much time to get on-line.

Oh believe me... I know, which is why I said I suck.

Thanks for clearing that up, haha.

Oh balls... I think - as predicted by Jenrak - I am going to have to drop out of this. Terribly sorry, but I got side tracked by other projects and I hate having to catch up and enter late into the RP. And while this was going to be the Sanctum Mafia's coming out RP, as I now think about it, it may have been a little too ambitious for their current abilities.

Anyway, I always liked RPing with Jenrak 1, so I hate doing this, but yea...

No problem. Even if everyone drops out, I still need to continue this anyways, haha.

My next post will be up tomorrow.

Very nice.

As a note, I don't care too much if no one posts. Though, if you're still reading, and you're wondering what the fuck is going on, you might need to do a bit of research to understand Jenrak. A huge fucking plot twist just occurred.

At the very least allow me to role play the siege of Azuk. Make a big theatrical land battle out of it. However I won't be able to post until Thursday. Work is hellish at the moment.

Me too. It's quite devilish.
