CoPS RP Group Recruitment (FanT/AnyT)

[Sinovet]

Hey all, I'd just like to ask a question. As you know, there are a large number of what might as well be called 'NPC nations' on the map. Nations whose players have either left, or were created as an NPC nation to begin with. RP has been slow in the region as of late, so in hopes of kickstarting things, I would like to propose a kind of 'open season'. If you'd like to use one of these NPC nations in an RP, and you can't find the original player to ask their permission, post here, and let us know. If we still can't find the original player to ask their permission, then--in good faith--we'll allow RP to take place with that nation as the active player sees fit. Of course, we'll have to have guidelines in place for nations that have some kind of established history, but I hope that this might allow some kick starting of RP in PL.

And, of course, if the NPC nation is controlled by a player, then ask them. This policy would only be meant to allow us to RP with those nations who no longer have a player around to ask.

What do you guys think?

Which nations are the NPCs?

Which nations are the NPCs?

At present, all the other nations on my continent are NPCs. Every other one would have to be determined on a case by case basis.

[YellowApple]

What do you guys think?

I'm personally down with it.

[Doppio Giudici]

So long as that means I can buy and sell, maybe set up a military base in the area.

I would really like to expand my nation's mythos in magic.

EDIT

If The Iienan Solar Empire is in use and/or has lore anywhere would someone let me know?

Ranisath/ The C'tan has done some backstory work on the ISE. He's the one you should ask on that front.

[Doppio Giudici]

The World thing says both nations are gone.

Any idea where he or she posted the information?

[Lubyak]

The Ctan. Sorry, forgot he didn't keep the apostrophe.

[Shrillland]

I like the idea. Whether I shall partake in our new imperialism, I cannot say.

[Doppio Giudici]

The Ctan is still using the NPC.

[Verflucht]

Nation Name: Verflucht
Why do you want to RP with CoPS?: I've lurked timidly for awhile, and I've always wanted to be in an actually active RP group. I also have a couple of friends who're in the region so I'd like to join them.

Please link us to Some RP Samples you have: I don't have a lot I can link, but the one thing I have is the other half of Leonez's post (I'm Moogolia in his example).
If none exist, please write a short story in order to demonstrate your writing abilities. A prompt is available upon request.

Please link us to any factbook or NSwiki page about your nation:
If none exists, please tell us a little about your nation, in as much detail as you would like, but more is better.

Verflucht is a pseudo-Germanic industrious nation situated in a environmentally devastated wasteland. What few forests remain are constantly dwindling from logging and even the farmland air is hard on the lungs. The ground is pockmarked with mines of various sizes and purpose, with many cities having grown up around them. The government itself controls very few things in the nation, mostly focusing on military, emergency services, and agriculture. It is governed as a technocracy, with leaders being appointed depending on their mastery in a given field. Only the best of the best constitute Verflucht's small governing force.

While citizens of Verflucht live a very free albeit politically restricted life, there is a constant rebel force endangering its citizens. Until just over three decades ago, Verflucht had a smaller neighbouring country named Zentrum. Ancient rivalry eventually boiled into an attack on Verflucht, who retaliated brutally, annexing Zentrum in its entirety. Many militants fled into the wastes and formed the terrorist organization, the Kinder der Nacht. They're presence brought about the darkest hour in Verflucht's long history.

When a loosely antagonistic nation unleashed an unexpected bioweapon in the heart of Verflucht, the Kinder der Nacht exploited the momentary weakness of its military to capture and detonate a nuclear bomb in Verflucht's capitol. In doing so, they made a significant portion of Verflucht entirely unihabitable. However, the radiation mutated the deadly bioweapon, resulting in a telepathic biomass capable of taking over newly dead bodies. This biomass, dubbed the Fleischgeist, currently cooperates with the new Verfluchtian government, meaning the nation now, in essence, has zombies available for menial labour.

And that is the macro view of Verflucht's current state.

What are some RP ideas you have? How active do you think you would be in CoPS? I was hoping to mostly just latch onto other RPs, like a remora or something. One thing directly involving my nation could be the detoxification of the dead zone where the bomb went off. As for how active I'd be, I'd say I'd check anything I'm a part of daily.

For what it's worth, I think this sounds interesting. I support this.

[Malgrave]

I've seen you lurking in the IRC and I like the idea of the zombie workers. I approve Verflucht.

[Gawdzendia]

I just realized there's been a whole new recruitment/signup thread since the last time I signed up.

Do y'all wish for a second application, or can I just keep rolling as if nothing is the matter?

Lubs, why you gotta be like this. I made you a beautiful map and everything.

[Sinovet]

I should really get back to making that retcon RP was planning a while back.

I know, I know.

I have a critically short attention span, you see.

[Doppio Giudici]

In the middle of the night a few days ago, I wrote four thick paragraphs about this character who was coping after a war. Since the RP for said war ended when most of the sides CTEd, I had James confused as to what happened and dealing with loss.

I just wondered, what would happen if him and his band of rejects started exploring other places where things didn't work because people quit. I knew a guy who made a huge off-site factbook about his radiation filled, walled off, wasteland from hell; but the weird thing is his factbook mentions a period of long quiet that suddenly happened.

He hasn't been on in like two years, so maybe it would be interesting to go in and explore. I bet the rabid humans are still there and everything.

Plan is to use nothing but written source material for inspiration. Maybe the land will even be magically cursed.

Lykosia is a wasteland that no one wants to live in, we could nuke a few of his islands

On a serious note though this sounds fairly interesting, but why are they going to explore, are they being paid to look for something, is there some mythical golden city etc etc?

I am not a wasteland!! D:<

[Doppio Giudici]

They are just wondering and trying to get away from where they are from, to find some place they are longing for. I think the idea is that something is drawing them towards the location, as if they are searching for something and don't know it yet.

On the same topic, the area has lots of interesting walls, broken down towns, and other areas that I think would give the RP a magical Fallout 3 feel. We're going in with modern weapons and tech, but will let the 40 foot, 20 feet deep walls around the border be. I think that part is where the fantasy comes in, the rapid humans who don't need to eat, the radiation that makes people rabid, and the little towns that make it on nothing but hunting or digging up roots.

[Felucian Planetary Republic]

Nation Name: The Representative Democracy of Felucian Planetary Republic
Why do you want to RP with CoPS?: I have seen various threads involving CoPS in the past and I have decided to try to strengthen my RP skills with an RP group for the first time (that hasn't failed). This is due to my very little experience in roleplaying.

Please link us to Some RP Samples you have: The only RP I have taken part in up to date.
If none exist, please write a short story in order to demonstrate your writing abilities. A prompt is available upon request.

Please link us to any factbook or NSwiki page about your nation: There is a lot of info on my nation's factbooks, so skip any unnecessary factbooks.
If none exists, please tell us a little about your nation, in as much detail as you would like, but more is better.

What are some RP ideas you have? How active do you think you would be in CoPS?: I have no ideas for an RP at the current moment as I am currently dealing with personal matters outside of NS. Seeing as I have lots of spare time, I could be highly active, but I would actually be active in CoPS every now and then, but not taking too long in between each time.

[Doppio Giudici]

You seem promising, but need a lot of work I think.

[Sinovet]

I read Lubyak's little fackbook thread about his military, specifically their doctrine, and I had but one thing to say.
