Kazanjima: Secrets of the Rising Sun

I am interested. So, here are my questions:

1. Is this going to be an RL-nation only RP, or can I use West Aurelia?
2. Why is Unit 631 still around after the end of WWII?
3. Are all of the main Allies (US, UK, USSR, France) participating, which is why the Soviets are able to spy on them, or is it only the Western nations and the Soviets have spies among their ranks?
4. Are the Tseem going to be fighting against the Allies or alongside them?
5. What are each of the factions' goals?
6. How big is the Ku-Go (is it handheld or a giant death ray?) and what does it do to its target?

1. RL nation only.
2. They didn't surrender, as they dismissed the surrender orders broadcast over the radio as Allied Propaganda.
3. It'll be the Pacific Allies (Australia, New Zealand, UK, and the US, along with the Ghurkas), and the Soviets have a spy-ring.
4. I was thinking they might. I'm still developing stuff for them, so I'll get back to that.
5. Well, the Allies want to capture Ku-Go, Unit 631 wants to defend it, and the Tseem just want to be left alone along with the foreign troops leaving.
6. Ku-Go, is a massive deathray (I'm going to estimate about 28 meters), and it'd be more than likely targeting either Hawaii, Guam, and Saipan, or targeting Australia. The deathray (a really small testing version), that the Japanese did actually build, fried Rabbits at 16 meters away, so similar to that, just bigger.

[West Aurelia]

1. I'll probably play as Australia.
2. Wouldn't they be able to figure out that the Allies won via the news and other sources?
3. OK.
4. OK.
5. OK.
6. Jesus. Time to capture it to take over the world to study it!

1. Fine by me.
2. Isolated Islands don't have much in the way of News services. Really, other than the Radio, places like Truk (after Operation Hailstone) were totally cut off and just about abandoned.
6. The reason it failed: well, Japan wasn't fighting Rabbits who were sitting still at 16 meters at that point in time.

Hmm, I can't see any flaws with this RP at the moment. Reminds me of this one a lot for some reason.

I have most of the backstory, the morphers, etc. It would be similar to Time Force in that the Zords and Powers come from the Pokemon World, and channel into the Power Ranger world, like Zords and Powers came from the Future and channeled into the Past in Time Force. Basically, Jesse, James and Meowth were sent into this universe by Arceus as they were 'blasting off again'. Once here, they began to make plans to take over this world, as they felt that they could do it easier here than in the Pokemon World. I'm thinking that perhaps Professor Oak came over here at one point, sporting five Pokedecks, and discovered Team Rocket here. Unable to physically return to the Pokemon World, he began to work on a way to channel the powers of Pokemon into humans, so they could fight against Team Rocket's own Human-Pokemon Hybrid creations.

You have been condemned for screwing with official canon of multiple series, may the gods of the internet have mercy on you!

Hot damn, I love posting that link.

I have an Alt-History World War 2 scenario that isn't in any way grounded in realism (well, as much as Micro-wave Death Rays can be realistic) that I'll be putting up soon.

It'll be fun. Japanese Hydra (that's really the easiest way to describe them) vs Angry Islanders and the Allies in 1949...

Call them Orochi.

[Zeinbrad]

Basically Space Marines chapter, the Silver Eaters, gets sucked into a void of the warp and are stuck in their for a few hundred years occasionally coming out of the warp only to be sucked back in.

Then they find a way out but have to fight through a Tomb world which is filled with all kinds of Necrons So they fight a one year campaign (known as the Arrival of Silver) to get back home. Much of the Chapter will be lost in this campaign (which will be larger than most Space Marine chapters so we don't run out of shit, but we will be outnumbered.)

Thoughts?

RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST

RP's Overarching Concept: The concept of this RP is based on the Eureka Stockade(or Rebellion) in 1854, near Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.
Genre/s: History, Action, Political-ish
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: So it's 1854, and the Australian Gold Rushes are well underway, the government has increased the cost of mining licenses and has done other injustices towards the miners, searching for their fortune. Many of the miners are former revolutionaries from the Revolutions of 1848, who afterwards fled to Australia. This is set just before the Bakery Hill meeting with the speech by Peter Lalor, characters would begin shortly after the burning down of the Eureka hotel and then head to Bakery Hill for the meeting if they were the miners or if they were British troops, they would begin in Melbourne and then head towards Bakery Hill shortly after receiving word about the Eureka Hotel being burnt down. From there, it would be up to the characters(Mostly) on the result; would the miners be ready this time in their tens of thousands, or would the British triumph as in history.

Who would play an RP where you play as a literal god?
Here's my plan:
So this one god created this solar system, and created other gods for other things, such as planets, keeping the sun in order, asteroids, comets, and creating orbits. So basically the whole thing is you need to keep order in the solar system, and create a planet capable of life, which requires the correct distance, mass, and a circular orbit to keep the temperature. There's going to be a god of the Sun, at least 3 gods of Planets, a god of Orbits, and many more, depending on what people want.
Would anybody want to play that? Or is that idea bad or already taken?

There have been a million god RPs over the years; some have failed miserably, while others have been wildly successful. As long as you keep players interested, it should work just fine. I would suggest some sort of conflict, though; usually when there's a god RP in which the PCs create a world but there's no real conflict, it sputters and dies after a few pages. So maybe they have to fight against an unknown foe from the darkness beyond the solar system who would seek to destroy it; maybe one of the gods defects and decides to recreate the solar system in his/her own image. That's up to you. But from my experience, just creating a world isn't enough to keep the players interested for long.

Okay, so maybe split gods up into 2 different solar systems?
Like, very close solar systems, like maybe 9 light years away? That could work.

Zarkenis Ultima did a god RP a couple months back, and it was going well until people disappeared. I myself was in it as god of death, judgement, and stories.

But this RP doesn't have you be the god of emotions or whatever.
You're a god of ANYTHING related to space.
Either it's planets, suns, or even comets or asteroids!

Would they be competing then?

Yes, they would be competing to be the largest and greatest solar system.
Like, how many planets, how large they are, habitable planets, the most beautiful, and the one with the smallest amount of dwarf planets.

Interesting idea. That might work; I've never seen an RP like that, so I can't say whether it would be popular or not. Would the species' development on the planets also play a role in the RP?

Yes.
I will attribute life to a solar system if they do well enough, and the one with the highest IQ or most species will get more bonuses, such as extra comets the comet god can control, or asteroids.
EDIT: And these bonuses will be for whatever this god wants. Such as power over a planet if he has enough power in the system, or even raiding the other one. Also bragging rights.

Hm. Well, it's certainly an original idea. Again, I can't say how much interest there would be in it, but you may as well fill in an RP interest/feedback form and post it here.

Kaiju from all corners of our planet and the cosmos are destroying Man's final refuges. But none are as powerful as The King; Godzilla. There are five major organizations (Monarch, G-Force, CCI, Red Bamboo, and the Xilieans) who wish to eliminate their competition and survive in a world now dominated by monsters. The surviving factions wage war with the Kaiju and each other with their Jaegers and other forms of advanced weaponry.

This is it

Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: 2 groups of gods compete to have the greatest solar system in the galaxy.
Genre/s: God, Space. (Or sci-fi, if you will.)
Character or Faction Based: A bit of both.
Detailed Description: A god named Guardian was created to watch the galaxy named Maximus, created by other gods. He was created by Watcher, because watching these 600+ systems at once was difficult. Later Watcher defected to another galaxy. After Maximus was almost completely abandoned, because of a raid by other gods, Guardian decided to start from scratch. It took 3.4 mil years to erase everything he watched. And another 4.7 mil to create these solar systems. But after 23 thousand years of creating these two systems, he decided to create two groups of gods. Bent on pleasing the Guardian, they could have almost complete power of the entire galaxy if they dethroned Guardian. They will now have to decide how to destroy the others. Thus started the Tale of Two Systems. These gods can change planets, orbits, comets, asteroids, the temperature of the sun, you can even betray or defect to the other solar system. Create intelligent life, create moons, and even raid the other system. If it's impossible, you can do it!

Too much of an enclosed setting. Also, how would it even work? Would half the players be employees/night guards and the other half mechanical animals?
