Background

In the waking years of the second millennia of the Age of the Eternals, the Milky Way Galaxy has entered into a period of great uncertainty, and the galaxy is divided between five factions that vie for total galactic supremacy. Though of all these factions the strongest faction by far it that of the Eternal Imperium which has emerged as the strongest faction due to its technology and due to the sheer faith of its warriors who would gladly lay down their lives in the Eternals name.

It is within this atmosphere the setting of strife that the rp will takes place as you get to take a position of power within the various factions of the galaxy.

Factions:

The Eternal Imperium: Founded by a brand of radical Eternals, who believed themselves to be the highest level of any beings which they though justified their right to set themselves as gods of lesser mortals. So approximately five thousand years ago the Eternals landed on a certain world, now the center of the Eternal faith, and began to build an army of mortal servants there. For three thousand years they developed the religion which placed the Eternals as gods and built an army of radical mortals servants who were willing to die for the Eternals whom they belied to be their kind gods.

Using their army of mortal followers the Eternals, two thousand years ago, launched their invasion of the greater galaxy and gradually conquered the galaxy. In such a manner of conquest so that upon every world they conquered they utterly converted the local populace to the worship of the Eternals and by ‘purifying’ any worlds that refused to convert, which gave raise to the saying,” Faith, or Flame.” To maintain the loyalty of their subjects they developed the Inquisition and a powerful secret police force.

Alliance of Free Sentients: A true republic of free sentients who have formed a free confederation of people how are represented on the interstellar level by the Consortium. They have been united behind the common perception of the need to defend each other from the expansion of the Eternals. The Alliance has the founding belief in the need to grant great civil rights and freedom of choice to all intelligent life forms.

Due to the general freedoms of their society a number of protectorates have entered the Alliance and have supplemented the navy of the Alliance to a significant degree.

The Terran Domain: The last of the great human space empires. The Domain has had the benefit of possessing the great technologies of the old Human empires and is strongly united by the common heritage of being human. Due to the constant war with the Eternals the Terrans have adopted a belief that humanity most soldier on in order to survive and as such will not surrender to the Eternals. However, the war has forced the Domain to adopt a military centered culture, with the government dominating all aspects of the society.

Confederation of Free Systems: A confederation consisting of a large number of races that have come together to resist the expansion of the Eternal Imperium into their space. However, due to the independence of the various races and star systems there is no real central government, with the only real central authority being that the fleet command which coordinates the various fleets of the Confederation so as to best counter the advance of the Eternal Imperium into their space.

Lo’Ka Ti: A mysterious nation that lies on the exterior edges of the galaxy, yet now with most of the galaxy consumed in war the Eternal Impierum the Lo’Ka Ti are in a position where they would be able to seize much space.

Vaook Ner: A region of sheer chaos which is governed by different laws of time and space then the rest of the galaxy, based in the galactic core. Inside of the Ner all life forms are altered and madness sets upon all but the most strong willed, or blindly loyal, beings.

do you mind if i join?

do you mind if i join?Not at all, but to note please use proper grammer in the template.

A question: When you say mortal races serve the Eternal Imperium, does that include humans? Or is the Terran one the only one with humans?

A question: When you say mortal races serve the Eternal Imperium, does that include humans? Or is the Terran one the only one with humans?Mortals include basically any mortal race, Humans are one of the more common species in the Eternal Imperium.

Alrighty then, I'll post a character in just a minute, need to plan him out.

Name: Elendil Beowulf
Faction: Terran Dominion
Age: 27
Race: Oblivionate (basically Terran save for the fact that the Oblivion Race grew up in a different part of the galaxy, they are slightly superior to humans being given enhanced hardiness, more accute sight and hearing, and a slightly faster metabolism)

Rank: Lt. Commander
Height: 6'3
Eye Color: Hazel
Hair Color: Dirty blonde
Powers: all powers of an Oblivionate as well as limited pregognition (ability to see what will happen in the future, makes it seem like he just has really quick reflexes.)
Physical Traits: Hardy, muscular, handsome, fit
Personality: Honorable (won't kill a prisoner), truthful, gallant, Experienced
Bio: Since birth, Elendil was trained to be a fighter. He is a Lt. Commander in the Dominion Commando forces, commanding his own platoon at times. He is also an experienced fighter pilot, who can lend a hand when the Dominion runs short of Pilots. He wears a suit of powered armor which enhances his senses and strength. Inside the armor lives a Battle A.I. which keeps him connected to other soldiers in the Army. He wields a energy great sword, and a magneticly fired assualt rifle. (Think mass effect here people)

OOC: so if i'm a part of the Dominion is my nation still considered my nation and can send in fleets at my whim, or are we assuming that everything is the Dominion and we go where you as the mod tell us to go?

Alrighty then, I'll post a character in just a minute, need to plan him out.Quite good.

OOC: k so my nation is like just part of an alliance sort of deal. I get it. one other question. does this have any affect on current NS wars or is this sorta like a alternate universe kinda thing were if we lose all our fleets it dosent account for in NS?

Powers: Other than being a brutal fighter, particular in melee, none, normal human.

Bio: Alehkra was born on a small world on the fringe of the Imperium, that is very underdeveloped. It is still split into clans, and technology is low, making it easy for the eternals to subjugate them. He was conscripted into the army, and taught the use of modern weapons, yet still has an affinity for the swords and spears he grew up using. He is from the Wolf clan, the strongest of the clans on the planet. His name derives from the clan, his name means Alehkra of the Wolf Clan.

Also, to ask how pious is his belief in the Eternals and their religion?

He is pretty much a fanatic. The people of his planet used to worship a moon god with such devotion to shame the Medieval Catholic church, and once the Eternals found the planet, they destroyed the clan of priests, and the rest of the race gave the Eternals the same devotion they once gave the Moon God.

To note, though I wanted to reveal this later, the Eternals do posses a rather unique type of nanobots that are capable of replacing any cells, barring brain cells, so it would be possible he got his hands onto some during a mission so as to explain his vigor at his age.:p

I was hoping something like that was possible. Either that of this dude just ate his Wheaties.

I don't think wheaties are quite that amazing. Maybe fighting at 90, but 100?

I was hoping something like that was possible. Either that of this dude just ate his Wheaties.:D

It is, the Eternals have not been around for untold millenia and not come up with some call tech, though such tech is limited to a few individuals due to the expenseive nature of the material needed to make it, also because the Eternals do not really care about common grunts dying.:rolleyes:

So if my guy gets captured or something hes kinda screwed? Bummer...

So if my guy gets captured or something hes kinda screwed? Bummer...I was justing kidding around with that last statement, but to note the average soldiers would most likely die before being captured so it is not really a big deal to them if they die because they believe salvation would be theirs in return.

I was hoping something like that was possible. Either that of this dude just ate his Wheaties.By the way your guy has been added.

you and your Eternals :p

you and your Eternals :pYes, I spend a good deal of time thinking them up and as such like to use them when I am able.

To state people can be both a politican, or a religious leader in the Eternal Imperium, and a military commander at the same.

When'll this thing start mate?

When'll this thing start mate?Two or three days.

Alrighty then.

bump

Sorry, I have been rather preoccupied with other rps and private matters, so expect to see a IC thread up within 24 hours or so.
