Stories from Astyria (The OOC thread)

Aurora Confederacy wrote:Costa, its actually June 2nd in the RP with daylight around South Sands being close to 18 hours, with not that dark night times. Up in Peace Valley its close to 24 hour daylight, and in Barentsburg, the Summer Solstice is 3 months long with 24 hour daylight.

Thank you for the information. Am I reading this correctly? June 2nd? My storyline development does not predicate on responses from other nations, and thought it would make most sense to incorporate the solstice since I know it is a hue part of the local scene here in Alaska which I assume would share a similar climate to the AC. Plus, it was the smartest way I could think of to account for my absence while I was out enjoying Alaska this past week.

I guess what I am saying is does it matter to the timeline the role play if I continue to post leading up to the summer solstice without regard to the June 2nd date?

Also, I plan on introducing a character from a puppet nation, Coastal Communities. Cabe Sebastian won't play a major part in the storyline, but will take a paragraph. I figured I should let people know here so it doesn't look like I am overstepping my boundaries with somebody else's nation.

This is my national map. The Arctic Circle, though not drawn runs between Peace Valley and Barentsburg, as such it should give you an idea of the climate of the nation at this time of year, RP wise the summer solstice is in a few days time. This may take a few weeks or months of real time depending on activity.

Most day activity is time stamped anyway, and when the day Rolls over, it will be because the time of one of the IC posts goes after midnight. I am trying to keep everyone roughly on the same day that way it all ties in together.

by **Costa Aluria** » Sat Jun 21, 2014 11:24 am

Oh, I see. How then can one know what day is still in play in the IC thread? I labeled my posts as the 19th because I knew it would take a couple of IC days to lead up to the surf, and was hoping to catch up today. I've got the script for Teovasi's next few days written, just not typed up.

Sorry for the bit of overstepping on my part with the waitress. I did not anticipate an actual dialogue when I wrote the script since I did not designate it on the application, so I felt like I had to create a small dialogue to progress where I want Teo to get to. The idea is that he is struggling with the tyranny of the familiar and yet in a position in life where some changes have to be made. To do that, I needed to establish his slightly overbearing nature to tend toward something known.

Also, should I respond to what you have written now, or should I wait for the IC calendar to catch up?

you could edit the posts if you wish, that way you can continue rolling

I really don't know if I have enough material thought out to edit, to be honest. I have about four more IC posts scripted out from my time away, and it was really as much as I needed to develop the idea for Teovasi in anticipation of a GE&T thread coming at a to be determined time. I rather liked the idea of the solstice celebration too as I know how crazy the solstice is in Alaska. I have no problem waiting until IC calendar catches up, I just didn't want to be behind everybody.

new character, perhaps?

This RP is still open for new characters to come on board however.

by **Costa Aluria** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 1:09 pm

I'm sorry, I really have trouble following the the IC thread when it is not a character I have been invested in like my own. Do you think somebody could update me when the IC calendar gets to 19 June 2014?

by **Aurora Confederacy** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 1:13 pm

okay

by **Neu Engollon** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 11:41 am

Mcnernia,

Can you please get the information on my nation correct? There is no such thing as 'Zurich International'. It is Burgunden International Airport.
Any future national info you need is in my factbook, signature, or here.
If you can't find what you need, please ask before making something up to suit yourself. I will RP with you, but you are a guest in Astyria, so you're playing by our rules...
Meaning things need to make sense, be what the host nation offered as the setting, and fit into canon.

Thank you.

now in a few days, Scorpio and Joanne will be heading into your nation Gol heaidng to Schwartzgarden(??) for Schwyz Logistek for some parts, as such they will be coming from Beograd, so I could do with some information anyway as to the border post, routes, distances, traffic laws (like right on red laws)

This thread has been going on since May, but I'm interested in joining this character RP. The region seems interesting as well. I wonder if I can still join in this RP?

Introduce your character(s)
Nation Name: Lux Santus
Name of citizen(s): Sara Nu'phroni, Ron Solari
Age(s) of citizen(s): 22, 24
Language(s) of citizen(s): English, German, French, Cantonese, Latin
Occupation of citizen(s): Personnel of the Arcadian Military, posing as a tourist (Escort), 3rd Daughter of the main House of Nu'phroni
Visiting:
Sara: Running away from home and ends up onboard a flight inbound to Astyria. Wants to travel the world outside Arcadia against family wishes.
Ron: Begun as an assignment in search of the missing princess and was ordered escort her back to the capital as requested by the House of Nu'phroni. Ends up getting dragged along with Sara to the region of Astyria.

Bio (optional):
Sara Nu'phroni (short description for now, still making outline for my nation): The "troublemaker" of the House of Nu'phroni and third in the line of succession for the Arcadian Throne. In stark contrast to the weak body she was born with, Sara has an adventureous and outgoing personality and loves to explore and travel, much to her mother and older sister's dismay. Just recently graduating with honours from the University of Solari in Political Science and Psychology, family querrels between she and her mother lead to Sara running away from home.

Ron Solari (also short description for now, still making outline for my nation): Two years older than Sara. A captain of the Arcadian Royal Guards stationed in the Imperial Capital, graduating 2nd in his graduating class at the Royal Academy. Personally assigned to escort the princess back to Arcadia under request Sara's mother. His influence along with Sara's father's influence when the young princess was still a child was partially to blame for the young princess' adventureous personality.

RP Samples: I don't really have any at the moment, but I can start here.

Accepted. Go ahead and post in the IC thread

Those characters sound very promising. Send them to Burgunden or Panoli at some point, if you want.

Unrelated to Lux,
Mcnernia, I see you edited your post, but not the one single word I asked you to edit. Why? What exactly is the block on this?
I think I'm going to ignore it, and you, for reasons you know and past interaction that some may not know about.

Schwarzgarten or Schwartzgarten, with or without the 'T' is fine, but no 'D' in there. I have spelled it both ways.

Drive on the right.
Border Post will be pretty routine for Astyrian citizens from a friendly country (aka not Insula Fera, YSR, Casegene or occupied Glisandia/Adler).
If you didn't have the truck you'd practically be waved through.
ASTID will suffice in place of passport. Cursory, brief inspection of the truck. They will have the records of the police stop in Nikolia sent electronically, but still need to check that you didn't bring on anything extra since that stop.
If going through Konstanz, you won't be stopped at a Neu Engollian checkpoint until leaving the city entirely, like on the outskirts of the roads leading out to the smaller towns in the KERZ. Even though you are technically on Neu Engollian territory in half the city, it is assumed that you were already checked on the Nikolian side or at the airport.

'Right on red' is ok at small, non busy intersections, like rural or suburban. High traffic city intersections, generally not.
Road system is in my maps section in my factbook.
Distance, I'm not sure. I would need to check with Malt, but it won't be too far from the border at Konstanz or Neuhausen to Schwartzgarten. Maybe 200-300km.
