Many of my characters often refer to the Political Wars as some of the darkest times in Mokastana, taking place as the nation was torn apart with many of the ruling ideologies of that period. So out of boredom and fun I decided to make a small Charater based RP out of that bloody historical era of Mokan History.

These event happen way before Mokastana had any allies, friends or really much knowledge of the outside world. Also it was called Mokostan back then as well. Therefore any participation will be either in the form of mercenaries, private armies, or play as locals. The situation is like this:

The ruling government, lead by a brutal dictator named Alejandro Vallanta has been torn apart after the assassination of Alejandro two years ago. His top advisers have been a war for the nation, using the nations small second hand supplied armies and air forces. No naval power really exist, minus a few PT boats for river duty.

These commanders have committed genocide against anyone who does not support them. At this point in the war three of them remain.

However previously the cities of Mokostan had been flourishing under the last government. Companies such as 'Mokan Armas' Russuel Incorporated' and 'Northern Mining' have come into existence while the country side continued living in an impoverished existence. When the war broke out these companies and their leaders found themselves being torn apart by the militarist governments. They banded together to form a large private army, funded by Fez Banking, armed by Mokan Arms, and supplied by National Auto. It quickly became a contender for the flag.


In the country side, the peasants have been abused by Commanders, forgotten by the Companies who want to charge for protection, and left to their own death. Yet two men, Miguel Zapata and Adam Guevera, have formed a guerrilla army to combat anyone who tries to steal from 'the people.' In this small but growing army two young lieutenants, often refered to as the Villa Brothers, are preparing to go on a murderous rampage to avenge the death of their father at the hands of a Commander.


This is where your forces come in, one commander has gone international to try and hire effective guns to do jobs his forces cannot do. In response to this, The Mokostan Army of United Corporations has offered similar contracts to outsiders.


Factions:

Commander Fillipe Hordes
Commands the North side of the island, believes himself to be the rightful successor to the Regime. Claims legal cause and has evidence to support it.

Commands 35% of the military(mostly infantry)

Commander Ivan Gorbechov
A former Soviet defector who came to the small island nation to avoid persecution, because of his former rank in the Soviet Army, was allowed to command large portion of the Moko Army. Now is using that strength to muscle his way into owning his own island

Commands 40% of the Military (mostly air force)


Commander Ronald Xavier
A younger commander who was promoted to second-in-command by Vallanta shortly before assassination, believes he can use this chance to overthrow his two competitors and win the island

Commands 20% of the military (mostly armor)


Mokostan Army of United Corperations (MAUC):
Private army made up of workers and peasants who wanted a warm meal and the ability to kill the militarist. With the promise of better pay and imported food many lower army ranks are flocking to the MAUC.

Commands 5% of the military (no airforce)

Mokostan's People's Army: (MPA)

Peasants and working class citizens learning the way of guerilla warfare to try and combat all of the above, many have lost homes, farms and family to other factions, and want revenge.



This RP will be based around the town of Santa Clara, the border of Commander Hordes and Xavier is here, however the MPA has moved in to steal some supplies and anti-tank weaponry for the war farther south. A MAUC outpost in the town is the only thing keeping it stable. The contracts so far are from the MAUC to defend the town while Commander Xavier is willing to trade gold to help capture the town. Mercenaries will get any loot they find.

I would like to enter a few characters on the MPA side, if you don't mind. As this takes place before my civil war starts, it would be an excellent opportunity to create some backstory for the Workers Liberation Army and how they became on of the major factions in the civil war. If doesn't fit with your storyline or something, please ignore the following.

Character Info:

Name: Günther 'Red' Boden
Nation of origin: Zaheran
Organisation: International Red Spear
Official title/Duty: Captain
Specialties: Brilliant speaker, good tactician
Wishing to be employed by: MPA

The founder of the Red Spear, a militant communistic student union. Günther is a charismatic leader and a good commander, but has a tendency of becoming psychotic when things go bad.

Name: Andreas Jalowitz
Nation of origin: Zaheran
Organisation: International Red Spear
Official title/Duty: Lieutenant
Specialties: Medical officer
Wishing to be employed by: MPA

IRS's second-in-command and medical officer. Good at handling the practical details of warfare that Günther doesn't care about.

Name: Heinrich Schwartz
Nation of origin: Zaheran
Organisation: IRS
Official title/Duty: Private
Specialties: Good at creating improvised exploding devices and booby traps
Wishing to be employed by: MPA

Name: Gustav Schwartz
Nation of origin: Zaheran
Organisation: IRS
Official title/Duty: Private
Specialties: Machinegunner
Wishing to be employed by: MPA

Apart from those, there would be about twelve other IRS members, but their main function would be to act as cannon fodder, so I won't create any character bios about them, if that's okay with you.

I will send two men. Both are ex Osteian specialists. These two men have been in theatres around the world, although the Osteian goverment denys all knowlage of their existance some believe they exist for the better interest of the nation in which they operate, assist the fight for stability and peace.

Both soldiers are able to train the peoples army to be effective soldiers. They will be taught to lead, and learn to be lead.

Northern Chenko

Hey this looks like fun, 1979 is around 5 years before NC started its rebellion and breakaway from the Chrisman Union (He's another nation on here).


Character Info(can have squads):
NAME: Choi Song
NATION OF ORIGIN: Northern Chenko, a large province in the People's Republic of Northern Chenko
ORGANIZATION/GOVERNMENT: The PRCU itself is a Centrist, slightly right leaning government, but the underground in Northern Chenko is a more socialist minded force
OFFICIAL TITLE/DUTY: Choi is as what would be recognized as a captain in CPLA (Chenkovian People's Liberation Army), and has been sent by his superiors to the land of Mogastan to help the People's Army of Moagastan take command of their land, and establish them as an ally an a supplier so Northern Chenko could also complete their Autonomy (OOC: NC is practically a separate state from the PRCU at the mo)
SPECIALTIES: Guerrilla warfare and armoured assault are Choi's main specialties. Though while Choi's tank warfare abilities wouldn't be well cared for in the People's Army, his guerrilla tactics and his strong socialist views should be well catered for. Choi also is a good hand with C4, and has been dropped into the country with a few charges to help the People's Army destroy enemy held structures and slow enemy advancements.
WISHING TO BE EMPLOYED BY: The People's Army of Mogastan.

Hope that's alright. Sounds like a great roleplay!

ok then folks i think we got ourselves quite a team, of course more can join at any point, but I will get started on the IC post.

Plot will go like this:

you start out on trucks heading towards the MPA base camp in nowhere. talk and load up whatever,

meet up at the campsite and meet some characters you may recognize,

walk to the city that the two commanders are fighting over, combat may occur on the way

find anti-tank weapons, get out

walk to a new camp.

Any ideas Moka on how I could become involved in this? As a sorta prelude to our relations, as it were, and your current standing in the Fegosian Union (as a 'Senior' member)
Mokastana

actually this is a good idea to get started,

You can start by working for one of the other factions then after seeing what they do change sides to the MPA...

I plan on showing genocide, artillery strikes on civilians, etc...it was a bloody time

no doubt the MPA would be grateful for you switching sides and providing information, and you get to meet a 19 year old Nicolas Villa and his 16 year old brother.

if you want to jump right into it you can be the helicopter attack team coming in, hired by Hordes only to get shot down by the MPA and Xavier's forces. Get captured by MPA and watch the chaos ensue from there.


Historically speaking, this is the beginning of the Political Wars, which spanned from about 1977 to 1993. So it is conceivable that your forces would of started on one side then switch.
