Behold - The Legion of Doom! (FT, organization of sorts)

So. I just transformed once again into a radically evil nation as is my wont.

Here's the low-down. I'll do it quick, so you don't get no slow-down.

If you're evil in nation form, and you've lately been disillusioned by the fact that there's not really much you can do without either
A) Ten billion "lolgood" nations coming down on your arse like a sack of heat-seeking sex toys
B) You crushinating everyone else due to your ridiculous nationsize.
Then this is the very thread for you.

Simply put, myself and anyone else who can be reasonably seen as corroborating with a middle-of-the-road evil nation such as myself (sure, we kill the innocent in an attempt to corrode reality so our deathless, all-consuming god may destroy this universe, but we're not horrible about it) can start off on a warpath against an improbable coalition of good foes.

Am I being overly vague?

Yes.

Is this a great opportunity to practice your RP skills whether large or small, get involved in what should hopefully be one heck of a major (transitory) alliance RP, or alternatively get involved with the younger NS crowd and make some new connections?

Yes.

Am I devilishly good-looking and do I enjoy long walks on the beach?

Also yes.

Fundamentally speaking, post your nation stats (size, evilness level, motivation for joining this Legion of Doom, and possibility for co-operation with other evil nations) and get involved!

Once we've hammered together a group of evildoers, we'll be looking for an alliance (hopefully with people who understand the value of a good last stand, being hopelessly outnumbered, and also betting their chances of victory on a single gambit led by flawed but ultimately capable heroes) to oppose.

Note that despite my present levity, this is going to be a serious RP. Nations who have excessive amounts of imperialism, religious fervour, or other reasons to invade other nations.

I'm looking primarily for nations who aren't well-established in conflicts already - Corewords, Chronosia, and your ilk, you've already got your rivalries and stories. What I'm really hoping to set up here is not only good storylines, but good (in-character) animosities to set the foundation for inter-nation RP in years to come. Obviously, established nations can join, but I'd really like to see some newer nations who don't really get the chance to do evil (because of the aforementioned clusterfuck every time you decide to go all Cruella de Ville on someone's butt) that often.

So, apply like so.

Nation Name:
Nation Size: (I'm not discriminating by size. It's just useful to know so that we can match up proper opponents later on.)
Nation Evillity: (Just describe why you do things considered evil or overly aggressive, and how often and with what drasticness)
Nation Motivation: (Why are you joining the Legion of Doom? It's not called that ICly, but why are you, an evil nation, co-operating with other nations? Is it just opportunism? Is it a chance to form strong alliances under which to shelter while you brutalize civilians and puppies? Elaborate)

Chances are I'll accept you. If you're a godmodder, ass, play-by-my-rules-or-I-take-my-ball-and-go-type, or you can't think up a legit IC reason to be here, I won't.

Other than that, let's get some proper invasions and atrocities happening, people!

Footnote: I know that there's a Shivan invasion on right now, but it's fairly limited by logistics - Sithy can only logically deal with so many other RPers at once. I'll probably be involved in that when the ESUS stage comes to pass, but it's going to be a long one, so I can safely say we really shouldn't be stealing much Shivan thunder.

Nation Name: The Fallen Legion
Nation Size: 10 systems, about 35 planets
Nation Evillity: Attacks neutral systems for no reason, uses mass slave labor, look sfor any chance to start a war between other powers, to mask expansion
Nation Motivation: The Fallen Legion see an alliance as useful protection in the event of war. Also, they see this as a way to form trade connections to bolster their war economy.

It's an interesting idea, and I've got one or two things I could join with. The first idea I have if (you'd be willing) is have a subculture of this nation join secretly (a bunch of space necromancers and death knights who seek to other throw the currently in power nation so that they can research and develop their dark arts without being secretive). If not, I have a nation of true immortals who are bored with life and rape and pillage for the fun of it!

Sounds fun. I'll apply.


Nation Name: (The Demonic Hordes of) the Vaxintorians (http://www.nationstates.net/nation=the_vaxintorians)
-Note that this is a puppet created because Jolt lost my forum account.
Nation Size: Slightly over seven billion people. A handful of star systems, along with a few nomadic fleets.
Nation Evillity: They like to kill things. People who can fight back are more fun, but civilians will do if they're the only thing handy. They also use slave labor. More or less an always chaotic evil (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlwaysChaoticEvil) proud warrior race (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ProudWarriorRace) with elements of the psycho for hire (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PsychoForHire).
Nation Motivation: Allies can help keep one from getting swarmed while killing things. Also, a good opportunity to evaluate other nations as potential future allies, or targets.
Lostmarauders
20-03-2009, 03:41
Nation Name: Lost Marauders, also unofficially known as: The Wraiths, The Reavers, The Oh Shi-, The “Oh god, no, NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT KNIF- AAAAAUUUUUUGGHGGGGHHHHH!!!!”

Nation Size: Composed of an unknown quantity of true immortals (estimated at being between a few hundred million to a few billion). Each one is stationed on a vessel of various power and technology, or in the process of acquiring a ship via whatever methods. There’s believed to be a few worlds that the Lost Marauders have unofficial control of that act as (relatively) safe ports for pirates and other mercenaries who can survive where the filth of the galaxy are welcomed, and rumors of various ships that are the size of planets, or larger.

Nation Evillity: They’re not evil! So much as indifferent… Sure they’re known for raping and pillaging anything that breathes (and quite a few things that have stopped breathing), torturing people for hours for the hell of it, impaling still living people onto the hulls of their vessels as they drive through a star or black hole… But that doesn’t make them evil, does it?

Nation Motivation: Perhaps they consider it an opportunity to show how slowly, yet painfully, they could kill someone, or perhaps they view it as a way to just be brought in contact with new things to ‘enjoy’… Or maybe they’re just bored and consider politics the evilest thing ever created in the history of the galaxy, or at least the most distracting.

"What is good to the eyes of humans is evil to the eyes of Xenos."

I'm not sure if Solar Communes would fit in as "evil". They claim to be the "good guys" after all, and to be humanity's freedom fighters, but they still are as willing to commit Exterminatus against Xenos as the Imperium of Man would be. Anyway

Nation Name: Confederation of Solar Communes

Nation Size: A Type II civilization in a massively developed single system, it packs identical infrastructure, industrial and military might that some spread-out, interstellar civilizations have divided between different systems.

Nation Evillity: If you judge them by their means rather than ends, then they are downright "evil": they sent two species to extinction, one of them simply because they discovered their existence and considered the mere fact they existed a threat to their continued survival, annihilating the home world of such aliens in the process. Once they negotiated the trade of 10 aliens for one human life with the Mekantans as well, which would happen in a massive scale, condemning billions of aliens to an horrible fate so they could save human lives. Sometimes they exploit their anarchic nature to commit acts of war against supposed allies through organizations unattached from their "official defense contract", as organizations, including criminal raiders of alien planets, are left free to do as their please as long as their victims aren't human. There is arguably an involuntary allegiance with the Chaos God Tzeentch, because... Solarians are always changing and refuse to accept a permanent, orderly status quo, and thus supporting Chaos, and they do it even knowing it, and even being technically enemies of Chaos, as "Their ends and our means sometimes match". Khorne also likes some of their means, although their ways of killing Xenos aren't as bloody as he would like for them to be.


Nation Motivation: The same reason why they have joined ESUS: pure realpolitik opportunism, and the chance for pulling some strings in the future.

So, any chance we can get this renamed as the Ministry of Evil? It sounds so much more sinister than the Legion of Doom. :3

Legion of Doom is a better name than ministry of evil!

Legion of Doom calls forth the image of comical super villains ranting over the imminent, yet never accomplished, defeat of the super heroes while Ministry of Evil brings forth the image of people in a dark room whispering plans of the downfall of galactic civilization as it is currently known!

Then again, the former sounds more fun. Doom it is!

Okay, a few notes. By and large, when I spoke of nation size I actually meant your -actual- nation size, which is to say the number on your NS page. While it's fun to have super-galactic empires invade the Milky Way and then have a plucky band of nations fight them off, not everyone can be a super-empire. More importantly, it's generally accepted that power is roughly equal to population in FT terms, and we're not actually going to be making this an exception.

Comorostan, I'm glad I messaged you. You seem like the kind of person who'd make a perfect long-term antagonist for another nation or group of smaller nations.

NERV, I think you need a wee bit more tutelage. You're still in, but I'll probably be keeping you largely under my thumb until you develop a bit further along. Charzak, you'll probably be placed into this category as well. I imagine this means that once we find willing invadees, you'll probably be in a thread with me.

Vaxintoria, you're definitely in. You've got a working knowledge of tropes, which makes you reliable story-wise.

Lostmarauders/VR, likewise. True immortals make a fascinating antagonist, provided we spread them out so they're not overwhelming or wanked.

SC, I can see you in this quite easily just for the chance to exterminate some xenos. Of course, that means finding a decently powerful xeno nation who also has an affinity for hard sci-fi tech, but if that can be done, let me assure you that you get first dibs.

I genuinely think that'd be enough for now, and that Legion of Doom operations can begin as soon as we find a decent alliance to face us and set up some individual storylines.

(And yes, Legion of Doom isn't our IC name. Rather, it's to evoke the aforementioned image. S'the point.)

So, if you can find interested good/democratic/likely to oppose such a band of imperialistic and evil nations, point 'em my way.

My MSN is black_hole_army_13@hotmail.com, but otherwise if you can find good nations, ask them to post on this thread with interest. I'll be trawling through my own contacts to find a group of appropriate nations, but any help is appreciated.

I just wanted to make a small note on my True Immortals thing. They can be killed, it's just that there bioenergy/souls run off, find a safe spot, and recreate a body for them in the course of the next few days. I call it True Immortality because there isn't a way to permanently kill one (although you can disable/imprison one forever so long as you don't actually kill them).

Are you sure you aren't me, HT?
==================================
Nation Name: [Insert name here]
Nation Size: ~10 billion +/- 5 billion? NS says ~7.7 billion
Nation Evillity: Uses own civillians as target practice, "wut R geneva conventions?"
Nation Motivation: Opprotunist, making fun of abbreviations, have rough outline of FT somewhere and would like to 'procure' the more advanced tech rather than write my own statblocks of confusion, and lulz.
--------
Though I may place any further RPs on standby/hold. Including this one.

Since I'm doing an intro to FT RP on an offsite, some neaty little 'diet evil' nations are declaring war on me, not sure about the war with Pudu, and maybe a quarter-dozen other things.

Stressful fiscal year and all that...

Nation Evillity: Everyone is a citizen, citizens work to better the whole, citizens will be well trained and educated, at the age of twelve you get to join the military.... or work to build things for the military
Nation Motivation: contacts for buisness, alliances to hide behind, and we really like to shoot things....
