Money comes plentiful for oil, archiogical finds, new discoveries. The parts of the world more inhabitated by humans is always being sucked dry so where else is there to search? The north pole, in the frigid artic at the tip of the world.

But there is many dangers in the northern world, polar bears, blizzards, just the freezing itself. But for the rewards it's worth it.

What this will really be is a group of explorers and types traveling the north encountering many problems and deaths and whatnot. It is an andventure, which hopefully might beinfit the nations RPing in it if the find oil, new land, archiogical finds and what not. It's a maximum three people per nation RPing. We will need a nation to fund it, the funds will go to weaponry, tools, sleds, furs, food, tranportation, and insurance, because it will be very likely that a few people will die.

They will be traveling through an atric region that I made as a puppet especially for this. The nation is called Bolver Semperial and the region is Northern Warthorn. The nation isn't very organized. it has a central government but the people basically do what they want. There is three different native tribes in the area; Cerhivooks which are a bit more peaceful but when provoked will be hostile; Charkovs which are a very hostile bunch are at a a war with the Glovrkers who are also hostile and kill anyone that they know is not one of them.

Northern Warthorn

Bolver Semperial
Unorganized nation with no government and different tribes. Think a modern artic version of Sumer.

-Cerhivooks
Hostile when provoked

-Charkovs
Very Hostile

-Glovrkers
Very Hostile


Jigona Hevera
Large nation that covers most of the tundra. It has a central government which is dictatorial but only has power over people that are close to were the government is established

-Oppressed Jigonans
Very Hostile

-Free Jigonans
Hostile when provoked

Nilae
Very, very small nation that is ran by a dictator. This nation is in control of alot of the best mining in the region and unknowingly they are the ones in control of a resource that we are looking for.

Hostile when provoked

Modern tech means modern tech meaning now. Being modern.

Accepted.

We kind of have alot of protection can we have a bit more miners and archeologists and stuff, no matter what you are you will still get alot of action in fighting and other stuff. You can still sign up for protection I am just saying that group is a bit large.

My guys can do both :D

My guys will be bringing their own Arctic capable military vehicles.

As you are already getting into military hardware, I don't think it's implausible these three guys would "borrow" a Braunschweig Class (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braunschweig_class_corvette) to transport them to their destination and bring them back, neither that they would get their own vehicle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1117_Armored_Security_Vehicle) as well adapted for arctic climates, and of course, accompanied by others loaded with extra fuel and supplies.

Johnny assures you that will not be necessary, as he is covering all expenses. If you insist on bringing them along, at least let him buy them off you. This goes for everyone, if you insist on bringing your own vehicles, at least let Johnny buy them from you, as he is supposed to be the one funding this mission, and he feels it to be his only worthy contribution.

Sorry TSS our transportation is covered just the means of paying it wasn't until Johnny came along, and Yani do what The Beatus said, it will work out better for you if you do that. (You will get money for doing nothing, I've always wanted that happen to me)

No problem, I thought each nation had to afford its own means of transportation.

Our vehicle is the ASLT-31A Titanrev, valued at 7 million, minus 45%. Total of 3.85 million

No we just needed a nation or a group or a person to fund this expedition. Everyone will be going on the same ship (excluding Michael Roberts, Andrew Wodrif, and Johnny Johnson, they will be buying sleds, food, and needs for the trip) to get to a town were they will meet up then take a secondary boat farther. I forgot to say one thing about the Bolver Semperial, there is the three tribes but there is organized and non-hostile towns with people that could pass off as a Grestonian (not how they look but by how they act) these towns are more like city-states. Once into the tundra we will find no one like that unless it is an observatory.

There is also two other countries in the Northern Warthorn region, Jigona Hevera and Nilae. I will update the OP talking about the natives because there is alot of them.

The money is being wired to your account as we speak. If you could, it would be appreciated if the only markings on it were "Johnny Johnson Ltd. Arctic Expedition" spray painted on the sides.

bump

How many more people (characters not nations) do you want before we start.

bump

I will be RPing a few other people that will only be in the thread for a few posts at the most. (i.e. the gut providing transportation, store clerks, ships crew, and helicopter pilot.)

To Greston,

We were just wondering, when this expedition would be starting?

Signed,
Your Benefactor,
Johnny

this is OOC: and if we get maybe three more characters

this is OOC: and if we get maybe three more characters

DO we need three more?

Yes, Like I said people will die and I know from personal expierience that when you only character dies and you have to leave a good thread it is really annoying. So I will just make like six extras that will be the ones that we will kill off and a few other people. Okay.

Well, most people I've seen in this thread have at least two characters, so a few casualties are to be expected.

I know, I will start to make the IC thread.

Is it set in a year like 2008 or something nearer to 1920?

As Top Gear showed, it isn't really that dangerous to get to the pole in the modern era as opposed to the 1920's when most expeditions failed and perished.

No it is the natives that make it dangerous read the OP and you'd understand. It is in 2008 but because the guy who started it is relatively poor he is using transportation that isn't the greatest.

Aha, I see what you mean, fair enough. When does the IC Thread start?

Lookey here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=547300)
