Okay people, this is the sign up thread for my upcoming FT civil war thread, however, I have the bare skeleton of the story set up, as I am actualy writing it out before putting it on the forums, a very time consuming process. But, to give an example of the story, heres some of those bare bones.


The year is 2458, the Union, a centuries old super power, has begun a drastic slide towards a different direction. Rumors abound in all walks of life, rumors of a silent coup, rumors of data purges, and more importantly, the faint echoes of rebellion, a small cloud in a sea of thunderheads. This is not a war of black and white, not yet, this is a war of grey versus grey, neither stands in total light or darkness, but in the end, both sides will be faced with a cataclysmic choice, one that could alter the course of the Sol system, and indeed, humanity itself.


(And just a note, Data Purges are essentialy "Black Vanning" someone.)

I'll be accepting anything, from a regular civilian watching the events unfold, to a crack commando team, however, I have a limit of four characters per person, to keep it manageable.

Name: Patrick Dougan
Nationality: Eastern Union (English-German mix)
Age: 36
Height: 5'10
Weight: 183
Hair color: Sandy Blonde
Eye color: Green
Occupation: UHC Marine Corps
Bio: Supposedly Patrick was the victim of amnesia that came and went, erasing his very identity. Upon awakening in a medical center during a minor rebellion, Patrick was entralled like a shool boy at the sight of the marines, going so far as to grab the gear of a downed marine and fight until he was eventualy exposed as a civie. he has a natural talent for anything involving combat, improvising suprisingly innovative tactics at the spur of the moment, then implementing them with brutal effeciency. This efficiency has earned him the nickame "Mister Death" amond the NCOs and Officers, a nickname that usualy causes the average marine to either grin in savage anticipation or cringe in fear.
Special talents: A tactical genius, Colonel Dougan often leads the Greys raider, so named for its memorable former CO, into daring victories and inflicting stunning casualties on the enemy.

Name: Brian Gordon
Nationality: Souther Union (American)
Age: 39
Height: 5'11
Weight:194
Hair color: Salt and pepper
Eye color: Slate grey
Occupation: Union Civil Protection (Police)
Bio: Brian Gordon comes from a long line of cops, stretching all the way back to the early 1800s, during the early days of the Union police force. Born into a close knit family with strong ties to Civil protection, Brian nearly identifies UCP as a surrogate family, sometimes refering to it as "Onkel" uncle, in german. Recently, the reports of data purges has only stengenthed his resolve in UCP, the Union has to be doing it for a reason, and he will follow that reason to the ends of the universe if neccisary.


(More to come)
Special talents:

Just for you to know, Mereshka is now well caught up. A couple emperors after Saya, it was decided to modernize Mereshka, and the country went through the ecenomical and military equivilant of a technology nuclear explosion. After a few centuries, Mereshka is now not only caught up in technological terms, but ahead of most naitons. Basically it underwent what Japan did in RL, but a bit more extreme. The military is still very different though, with swords still extremely common. The average soldier is something of a 'Stealth Samurai', utilizing nearly perfected stealth technology, as well as portable teleporters. The teleportation is still unstable, with the occasional Company dissappearing for no good reason, but it still makes Mereshka masters at Guirilla warfare.

Name: Avuora Sikeda
Nationality: Mereshkan
Age: 33
Height: 6'5
Weight: 183 lbs
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Bright Blue
Occupation: His real job is something of an unofficial spy for the Mereshkan Empire, but his cover job is selling Mereshkan nano-technology.
Bio: Avuora is the descendant of a Shogun, though the Clans were united long ago, and is still a noble in Mereshka. However, he seemed to find being in the government boring, and joined the military at a young age. He was soon put into a Special Forces team, speicalising in infiltration. He was soon renowned as an excellent scout and spy, and is now being sent to UHC in order to ivestigate rumors of a possible revolution. Avuora Sikeda is of course a fake name.
Special talents (If any): A master of the Hiten Mitsirugi swordstyle, also has the best stealth and teleportation technology the Empire has to offer.

Well, since you posted what you're current military, might as well post what mine is (followed by some characters)

First off, the Union went from large scale, frontal assault to a commando driven warfare, each soldier is a highly trained, extremly efficient commando, usually working in squads from five to fifteen, Union marines tend to prefer a stealthly approach, then, once all angles have been covered, unleashing hell on earth in the form of rapid fire plasma rifles, the result of which can be compared to a light artillery bombardment. However, when slick death isn't enough, massive destruction will work in the form of the Paladin tank. Two rail guns spitting death in a constant torrent of glacier blue and blood red is enough firepower to level a city block with relative ease, in brigades, Paladins are nearly unstopabble. So yes, the Union went all out on its military production and advancements, 3/4 of the colonial budget (The Union has multiple colony worlds) is spent on Military research and production. Rumor has it that some elite commandos have begun carrying automatic rail rifles....


Now for the characters

Name: (Flashback, I'll be using him at the beginning of the thread to explain his demise) Edward Harrison
Nationality: Northern Union (English_German mix)
Age: ????
Height: 6'0
Weight:179
Hair color: Dark Brown
Eye color: Red (Hidden by either his sunglasses or helmet)
Occupation: Union Marine
Bio: I'm not going to post the whole thing, his bio will be left up to debate over the story, as several sides view him in different lights.
Special talents (If any): As one of the few surviving humans infected with UH, Edward has an inhanced healing factor almost to the point where nothing can truly harm him, strength three time that of a human his size. And the ability to see in any lgihting condition. However, his unique skills come at a major drawback, the only thing that can truly kill Edward is high heat, and with plasma rifles being adopted as early as the mid twenty-first century in the Union, he went from being nigh invunerable to just another grunt with some interesting abilities.






Name: Patrick Dougan
Nationality: Northern Union (English-German mix), some Mereshkan
Age: 36
Height: 5'10
Weight:186
Hair color: Dark brown, almost black
Eye color: Hazel
Occupation: Union Marine
Bio: Patrick Dougan is the example of the Union warmachine at its finest. A tactical genius, efficient soldier, and utterly commited to the Union, his penchant for creating ingenious tactical maneuvers on the spot and enacting them quickly usually leaves little to no enemy survivors and a stellar victory for the Union, leading to the slightly unsettling nickname "Mister Death" Most marines either grin with savage glee upon hearing his name or moniker or cringe in horror. He has repeatedly lead Greys raiders, so named for there (In)famous CO, to astounding victories against all odds, the religious among the marines called it the "Blessed battalion", they have not suffered a single mortal wound in the past four years, the non religious call them "Cogs", referncing the fact that they can seem to keep the Union warmachine turning even when everything else has ground to a halt.
Special talents (If any): A tactical genius in infantry and light armor warfare, Colonel Dougan has been offered a comfy desk job several times, refusing under the statement "I know what the common soldier think, feels, and more importantly, his or her breaking point. Remove me from the battlefield and my advantage of knowing what my squad can do goes right down the tubes."

Bump

what are the factions, or can we make up one?

The current factions are Imperialist (Union) and Separatists (rebels) However, factions can be added that can asist one side, play both sides or seek to destroy them both or anything like that.

Hmmm... I wonder what a spy would be considered as?

Cut down on the undetectable stuff (Leave the chameleon thing but drop the cold blodded, ETC) and you'll be accepted.

Probably the nation he Represents, unless that nation has other factions (Like section zero)





And a note to those of you who have RP'ed with me, I will not have Edward Harrison in anything except a flash back and I will not have section zero.

yes , the WPR is a world communist movement, what's your country's name " Blank Proletariat Revolution"

This should be interesting, considering the Rebellion is attempting to overthrow the Imperial Union to reinstate the former Union, albeit the previous union had a gentler policy towards the average working man.

Heh... Not sure whether I'll back revolution or not.... I'll just make it up as I go along. :p

I think I'll pass on this RP then. His stature makes the other things neccessary for him to be a "kings best man". I mean really, one pair of heat vision binocs an hes done for. :(

Nope, so this'll be like the alliance between the Allied powers and Svoiet Russia during WWII, united against a common enemy, then divided by ideals and the like.

Accepted, and if you could, please post a longer bio. It isn't required, so don't worry about it.

alright here's how its going down for me

William Jefferson of the WPR will convince a union area to become the UPR( WPR sub-faction) they will recieve support and compete with the goverment. General tactics of: United Proleteriat Revolution(UPR)

Gurellia Warfare

Protests

Violent Protest

Bombings(IED's)

Propaganda

small conventional conflicts

I'm guessing my guy will get caught up, most likely as a target by said violent protests, since hes an outsider.

so when are we getting started im bored, and are you gonna have a list of factions involved on the first page?

I'll be sending weapons to everyone.

how FT is this, like Halo, or is it advanced except there are no large fleets of space ships? give me an example?

I think its probably a bit like Halo, though probably a bit less advanced. They probably don't have warp drives or MJOLNIR armor for instance. UHC might, he was pretty futuristic back in modern even, but Mereshka doesn't, leastwise not quite yet.

alright here is what im thinking for body armor and weapons, the UPR will travel light most of the time, except for there few advanced groups.

UPR revolutionary: http://mcgibs.iseenothing.com/images/gallery/finals/sniper.jpg

http://mcgibs.iseenothing.com/images/gallery/finals/recon.jpg

UPR Revolutionary's usually are many in number but are not very strong.

Armor: Projectile and energy resistant plating on chest arms thighs and shins.

Weaponary: Union based weaponary: I.E: Small arms and anti-tank weapons.

Some UPR Revolutionarys have night-vision and thermal vision goggles, many UPR Rev's make good snipers.

UPR People's Army(also known as Red Army): More to come

how FT is this, like Halo, or is it advanced except there are no large fleets of space ships? give me an example?

Its close to what people would call extreme future. (For the Union at least) For example, all Union naval and civilian ships are equiped with an onboard FTL drive, while most other nations rely on Jump gates. Pretty much every nation has a naval fleet, however, since this RP takes place on a Union dominated version of the sol system (The union controls up to about 70% of the Sol system) space naval warfare will be out of the question except for small sneak attacks on Naval yards and the like. Also, teleportation is an unrealiable form of transportation, more often splitting organic matter into its base components than actually teleporting it. (Non-organic material like weapons and industrial products are unaffected)



Also, I'm waiting for two more people, then we can start. (Not two random people though)

so hold up, wait, is this world that were gonna be fighting on made up of multiple high-tech nations, or just one world that's all union (minus the divided factions)

Good question. Whats the word, UHC? And what you say about teleportation, its not nearly so bad with Mereshka. Like I said, we've made great strides. We don't have much of a fleet, and have only colonized one planet, but we excell at other things. Sure, its still slightly unstable, but it usually works.

He's built himself into fairly reputable dealer, as reputable as an underground arms dealer can get. Despite his criminal ties, he's fiercely loyal to his customers, but this loyalty usually seems to fade at the sight of money.
Special Talents: Manages to survive situations that the average person wouldn't. A very resourceful fellow.

There will be some other high tech nations. (If you want yours to be one of them) However, most of the fighting will between factions in the Union, hence the RP name, Shattered Union.

Name: Kwanba Deskala

Hair color:N/A
Eye color: Brown Picture Taken at age 27 in Resqwandi Civil War (http://static.flickr.com/44/148624174_9d9ff258cc_m.jpg)
Occupation: Herb Salesman (Possible Rebel)
Bio: Kwanba Deskala was born around 15 years before the start of the infamous Resqwandi Civil War. As a young boy, Kwanba was picked on by other boys due to his meager size. Inside him grew a dangerous anger. One day the class bully was found behind the school, with a gunshot in his back. This led to the beginning of Kwanba Deskala's life. He roamed, growing rapidly, always with his trusty pistol at his side, once his fathers. Anyone who made fun of him ended up dead by some means or another, usually execution style gunshots (or so it seemed). At the age of 15, war erupted in his home nation, and Kwanba was eager to kill. He enlisted as a rebel in the Razbi camp, and was provided with a new rifle. They tried to force a new pistol on him. 5 died trying. At this point, Kwanba was no longer so small. As a matter of fact, the only thing that kept him from being a sharpshooter was his size. He was, admittedly, hard to miss. He fought fearlessly in the war with a large machine gun that only he could wield accurately. His final battle in the war occured when his leg was shot 4 times by a sniper. He started 100 yards away, and limped the whole way to the sniper, then wrung his neck. This was the end of Kwanba's mean streak, and shortly thereafter, he moved to The Union, seeking asylum. He was granted, and settled down with a wife for the next 25 years. Then, rumours of war floated around his shop like the scents of his plants. He was shocked and horrified. This was exactly what he was trying to avoid. Then again, as late, the government had become incredibly oppresive. Kwanba went to the shed in the back of his shop (also his house) and pulled out his machine gun, able to hold it just as strongly as ever. He had some serious thinking to do.

Special Talents: Very strong...almost inhuman. Great Shooter.

He is wandering through each country serching for people who can use his help, and also in serch of his family's sacred heirloom, a said to be un-scratchable, stainless blade, made of the metals from a fallen star. He gets arrested by one of The Union police when he stoped at a local bar.

Special Abilites: Uncanny sword realted reflexes, and Gun related reflexes, He can also percive Almost anything no matter how fast it is going and usually react to it. Can move at high speeds, can run for long distances


Tone down the extreme reflexes to a bit closer to normal level (Like he has a faster reaction time then your average person) and your in.

Hmm... Another katana wielding dude. Fun.

By the way, a bit more characters to add to the RP for me.

Name: Frank Green

Age:Physical, late 60's, biological, hundreds of years
Height: 5'10
Weight: 210
Hair color:Grey
Eye color: Blue
Occupation: None
Bio: One of the oldest humans in existence, the Union continues to deny that he is who he claims he is. According to him, he was a auxilalry pilot on one of the first FTL jumps in the history of mankind, something went wrong while he was in cryo sleep, leaving the UNC Olympus a torn hulk drifting in space for hundreds of years before eventually being found by a joint exploratory fleet in the outer reaches of the sol system. The cryo pod preserved him perfectly, unfortunatly, with an unrecognizable union, and his best friend long dead, Frank has been reduced to nothing more then a drunk old man, thrilling younger people and children with tales of the old union, which most disregard almost shamefully as the invetions of a drunken mind.
Special Abilites: Was once one of the best pilots in the Union, if those skills remain intact has yet to be seen.

Is this the same Frank I know and love?

Its the same one, now go post on the RP! (I need development for patrick before I can post a response to NC)

I did....

There are some more new posts in the RP, in fact, I just saved your characters life from shrapnel after the WPR blew up a warehouse.

???? When did that happen? Hmm.. Okay.

the WPR are supporting this sub-faction United Proletariat Revolution( United= Union Proletariat revolution)

I'm going to justify the alliance with the rebellion (They come into play after this first thread, everything is building up to it) by using the simple roman saying "An enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Posted. I feel proud. :D

Well, my new post is up, as you can see, even a man nicknamed "Mister Death" has a conscious. And NC, I gave you a little plot development with William, might want to take a look.

cool, okay thanks.

Once again, my post is up for those of you who don't activley check, I gave a little backstory to it, the US was absorbed by the Union during one of its (The US) economic crashes. Until then, the Union controlled most of canada and parts of the Northern US.

okay i agree, but the west coast of california, oregon, nevada, and airzona are Calavers, or in PMT WPR territory.

And Mereshka was one of the few to not take advantage of the nations weaknesses. Well, there was that chunk of Hawaii, but thats not much compared to entire mainland states.

Allright, officialy listed as "Contested" by the union.

Chunk of hawaii huh? Oahu maybe...?

And the Union has been wanting to admit the US into the Union for years, and several times it has nearly come to military subjugation.

Hehe, we figured that that was the only place we could really get away with attacking with muskets and katanas.

Whoa, how long ago was this, yesterday? :p

(and my new post is up, its introducing the rebellion pretty much)

Hehe, several hundred years ago. Just roll with it.

Eh, I'll roll any which way,as long as the Mereshkan military doesn't have bolt action rifles, I'm good.

Nah, just teleporting stealth samurai. For some reason, even though the rest of the technology skyrocketed, they never thought to increase their weapon technology. Wait a second... Why exactly do you want to know about my military?

uh.... keep this on the DL, but I heard rumors of an impending Union Invasion of mereshka.... sssh!

Oh, don't worry, I won't tell those guys. Wait.... WHAT?!?! :(

Oh, don't worry, I won't tell those guys. Wait.... WHAT?!?! :(

Yeah, its going to be a major back drop for the rebellion, essentialy what allows the rebellion to step out of the shadows and take action.

Ok so I'm slightly confused by what's going on so far. Because I'm not sure where to put my character in all this.

Does it have to do something to do with the entire Edward being a Shogun thing? Or do you just have something agains teleporting samurai?

Nope, just pure unbridled imperialistic conquest. After all, with only a few countries not under Union control, don't you think they could just trot right over those that weren't?

Don't worry about it, the next time North Calveras' character holds a rally, thats where you can come in, or if you find a perfect point, like a riot or something.

Well, it'll be harder than they think. My rather odd army is very good at homeland defense. Well, I've got to get to bed mate, G'night.

Well, my new post is up. And just to note, I've axed the Union invasion of Mereshka in favor of a buildup for an invasion should the plan come to pass, but the idea of the rebellion coming around at this time is still used, as men and material are being drawn to active deployment on foreign bases and Union territories.

Well, whatever works mate. Long as you didn't start using orbital bombardment, my army'd be able to hold you off if nothing else. Wouldn't be able to take the fight to you, but I'd be able to defend.

Why use orbital bombardment when overwhelming armor, air and infantry will do the trick. ( I believe Nazi Germany prefected this tactic) and lets not forget most if not all Union military vehciles nd infantry are equiped with at least basic stealth, not enough to fool scanners, but enough to fool the naked eye, which is sometimes where it counts.

The WPR is cabable of of full scale war, but it dosn't want its presence known within the union just yet, once the union figures it out, they would rpobably declare war, which would drag the union into another battle further helping the revolutionarys.

Sounds like a good idea for the Union to focus even more attention on. However, if I decide to have the rebellion to win the war, could an uneasy truce be set up between the new union (Haven't come up with a name) and the WPR for the sake of restoration? Remeber, this is only if I decide to have the rebellion win.

wait, who is going to change the goverment, my communists or who(maybe both win?), tell me then i can give a idea of what i can do with it.

Ah, but what good is armor and air and infantry, and even tanks, when the enemy force never stays long enough for them to really fight? The way we handle attackers, is, since they still don't like using guns, is to teleport right in the middle of the attacking force, usually with very good stealth, and make some chaos, then they're gone. Every once in a while we'll do the same thing with a tank, but not very often.

Well, if the rebellion does win, most likely those wanting to reform the Union will take control, with the WPR probably becoming a sort of influence on politics (Such as a Union Communist Party and the like) And the leader of the rebellion is a yet unamed figure, who some of you might find familliar. At least, who he's decended from. (NOT EDWARD HARRISON)

oh, so like the new-reform would be a major party, and the Communist party would be its rival perhahps, maybe parts of the country are communist while others are reformed, maybe the country is split into two countrys?

Cut and run tactics, eh? Good to know that they don't use guns, most of the soldiers could use the target practice. (That is not to say Union soldiers are nigh invunverable) the Union military typically encourgaes a somewhat sibling-like relationship between soldiers, meaning they stick together in large groups, even when off duty. For example, its not unusual to find some Squads with the nickname of <Insert Commanding officer's name> Familie (For example, Grey's raiders is alos known as Grey's family, familie= family in german)

Well, not split into two seperate countries, more like the States and territories closest to the WPR are solidly communist while further away they become more and more reformed Union.

okay, what of the capital jointly owned, maybe split?

Yeah, the capitol would probably be split like Berlin was at the end of World War II, with a Union sector, and WPR sector. (And even providing the paradox that made Berlin so Unique, instead of being located in a Communist controlled sector, it's located farther to the north east, in what was once Maine)

EDIT: Another case of Jolt time-warping, first time ever in this RP series (Including OOC thread)

Is the RP still open?

if so I'd like to enter:

But for regular men and women to be forced into chaos for the unholy ambitions of others, and the suffering of those left by the wayside of war's rampage that was what Leone couldn't stand. So when news of the UHC upheaval broke out, Leone decided to pick up his violin and head there. Maybe he couldn't end the war, but he decided that if he could help a few shattered lives here and there, any other troubles that come would be worth it

Yeah, the RP's still open, and I like the idea for this character, help give a more human face to the war, as well as a civilian perspective.

Thanks much, I'll be waiting in the wings for the opportune moment to insert my character :D
