The Vortexian Civil War [OOC][Open][FT]

[PetzConfederation]

so I got one question, how did a rebel group manage to get more ships and troops than the Royalists? That's just my question lol

Actually no, they don't have more ships and troops. As Eodor posted the applications for both sides it says that, for example, the Vortexian Loyalist Army has 750,000,000 Fusiliers while the Vortexian Rebel Army has 550,000,000 Rebel Fusiliers and the Vortexian Loyalist Fleet has 7560 Warrior Class Destroyers while the Vortexian Rebel Fleet has 4000 Rebel Warrior Class Destroyers.
The loyalist forces have 200 000 000 more standart foot soldiers than the rebels and also 3560 more destroyers than the rebels. But yeah, it is still strange how the rebels managed to block the planet if there is currently no engagements in space between the rival fleets. I think we should just wait for the OP's next post/s so we can know what exactly is happening.

So I've given it some thorought and I've decided I would like to throw my hat into the ring. No troops for now, just two characters in the middle of the action, and some theatre and commentary from my HQ back on the homeworld. If my troops become involved I'll of course discuss everything about them with the OP.


Nation Name: The Holy Kingdom of Tarsonis
Side: neutral.
Relations with Irenton Alliance: None prior. Tarsonis is a historically reclusive nation, much more so now than in the past. No outsiders have officially been allowed within its borders in years. It was strange for the Tarsonian Government to receive such a special envoy, requesting a diplomatic representative to attend the ceremony, normally they would most likely send no reply but in an odd display of diplomacy, they aquiested.

Name: Jessaria
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 130 lbs
Eye Color: Gray
Hair Color: Brown
Ethnicity: Otari Human
Physical Description:

Profession: Inquisitor

Bio: Originally born into the Otrai Clans, Jessaria quickly made a name for herself as a soldier. In a male dominated society, she was the first woman in memorable history given the title Draggonaught (a personal bodyguard/commander for the Grand Judicator), and at the youngest eligible age. However, during the Judicator's second Invasion of Tarsonis, she began to question the Otari motives. Her distrust and misgivings led to her discovery of the religious enslavement of her people by a group of non-corporeal beings called the Elder, and the shared ancestry of the Tarsonian and Otari peoples. As a result, she turned on the Judicator and sided her forces with the Tarsonians. After the sequential destruction of the Otari Fleet, the Otari Traitors were welcomed into the Tarsonian Kingdom. Abandoning her military career and title, she signed up with the Tasonian Catholic Church's Office of the Inquisition, a paramilitary intelligence and diplomatic agency, that often works side by side with the Tarsonian Navy and Tarsonian Government. Four years ago, on a top secret joint international assignment with the Tarsonian Navy and several other nations, she briefly met the man who would become her husband. During the mission he was captured, and she spent the next two years scouring the galaxy for him.

She is a master "jack of all trades" when it comes to military affairs. She is skilled in all forms of combat and warfare, excelling at recon and infiltration. Being a close friend of the Queen she occaisionally has been known to masqurade as a diplomat. She's tough, impulsive, brutal at times, and fiercely protective of her counterpart, who is both her handler, and husband.

Name: Seamus "Trip" McCarthy
Age:36
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 175 lbs
Eyes: Hazel
Ethnicity: Tarsonian Human
Brief physical Description:

[/URL]

Profession: Field Engineer
Bio: From an early age Trip showed a brilliant mind for computers and technology. Building his first computer at age three, Trip went on to excel through the Tarsonis Academy of Technology and Engineering and the Anarion Institute of Technology. Having Highest degrees offered from both schools at age twelve. Before the Cataclysm he was stationed at Elumarinia's Cyber-Tech division, designing everything from guidance systems to Ship on-board AI's. After the Cataclysm, his main job became to Reverse engineer Stolen tech before the Resurgence ten years later. After the Resurgence he asked to be stationed on the Battle Cruiser TSS Tiger-Claw, to get out and see the Universe. Four years ago, he was assigned to a top secret international project and captured by the Federation of Allied Governments. He was rescued, two years later, from a super-max prison, by a team, led by the woman who would become his wife.

Now, as I said, at this point, I don't intend to bring in any ships or forces. However for the knowlege of all playing I must mention that: at their wedding Keslia Solace, Queen of Tarsonis, was the Maid of Honor. Hunter Solace, Head of the Church's Inquisitorial Department and Keslia's husband was Trip's best man. And Kevin Kast, Father of the Queen, and Liegeman (Supreme Commander of the Tarsonian Navy, and Militaristic adviser to the Queen) gave Jessaria away. Should something happen to them, Tarsonis would probably declare open war on both parties. If that occurs, well, we'll jump off that bridge when we come to it. Another alternative is depending on how the course of the RP goes, my characters may side with one or the other. To start though they'll just be neutral.


Lastly, if it's alright with the OP, my intro post will be quite long, to cover quite a bit of background information.

Edit: sorry forgot examples.


Here's one, the last post I'm particularly proud of: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=242069

And here's one I OP'd and worked with Rome on: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=221781

RP Example:

Beta Quadrant
Epsilon System
Planet Upsilon, Subsection H5
1300 Hours

Vizier Rek'ass Ni'laar of the Genetically Ultra-Enhanced Supersoldiers (G.U.E.S.S.) Power subdivision stood alone on a podium. The flag of the Dark Union of the Hydraic Empire was behind him, fluttering in the slight wind. Several million soldiers were in attendance, and many more were watching on the cameras provided. She gazed around silently, her hard eyes sweeping through the each of the soldiers in turn, making them feel as though they were being examined on the molecular level. As a brisk wind began blowing through the streets, she opened her mouth and began to speak:

"Soldiers!" She paused. "We have formed a New Order, the Order of the Blood Moon! We shall conquer this galaxy, through force if we must! I realize some of you may be thinking of the Federation. They will be formidable enemies, oh yes, however they are WEAK! They care for innocents!" At these words, a slight murmur rose through the troops, though it was quickly stifled. "It is true. They actually care! We do not have these weaknesses! We fight to protect our homes! We fight to protect those that we love! We fight for honor, glory, and power! We shall sweep through the weak Federation like a winter storm through fallen leaves! No world shall escape our touch!" A furious roar was aroused at these words, and Rek'ass waited for it to end before resuming her speech. "We shall not be alone in conquering the universe, for even we could not do it alone. We can, shall, and will work together towards a common goal, towards a common enemy, and defeat cowardice and all weakness that exists!"

She stood there for a moment, her passion infecting them all, then she walked off the podium.

Oh, for some background information, what was the cause of the ceremony? Like Coronation? Treaty signing, National Birthday or other?

[Greater Narkova]

I'm waiting for someone to respond to my post still

[Hydraic Empire]

I would, but I'm not accepted yet

[Eodor]

All accepted.
Yes NCSU I know you.

The ceremony was a signing of the Second Irenton Charter.

I'll accept this one. However I don't think naval vessels will be necessary.

Toussaing you need some sort of RP example.

While I'm not using ships at the moment, I'm still gonna have to protest Frankia's 50 AU FTL-I field. At best a fleet of ships without pre-Established infrastructure could generate a field of maybe 1 AU. A field of 50-AU would require an immense system of emitter arrays. The fleet might be able to disperse to create a field of that sized but the ships would all be alone and vulnerable.

[Tarsonis Survivors]

Socialist unions, in case you missed it there's an FTL-I field up arround at least the planet. I'm protesting its size of 50AU but even .25 AU would inhibit FTL around the planet.

The Amber Requiem has not been destroyed. The Eradicator has.

[PetzConfederation]

Then Admiral Jennifer setted the Avenger's orbital cannon to Avakon, after setting the levitator and ship anchor, which functioned to anchor the ship on one spot, one of the anchor landing on an Enemy force, killing it. Then she pressed the button, and a blue, luminous laser quickly camed out of the cannon, falling towards the orbit until it hit a Petzian base on Vortex, destroying it and killing their soldiers. The Kendorians then started to gain the upper hand as the tanks shotted down the Petzian force and some of the microbots are now commanded to incapacited the Petzian soldiers and vehicles, allowing the Kendorians to shot it down while the bunker is being repaired by the other microbots. Meanwhile, some Kendorian soldiers used their titanium steel club and piercers to pierce the Petzian soldiers power armor, killing them.

Kendor, the petz mercenaries do not have a base, they are just a small unit among the other Rebel forces. Also saying yourself that my, or anyone else's forces, have been destroyed is considered God Modding as far as I'm aware. When I first started RP-ing in the forums I did that mistake and I was immediately attacked by other players, so please, take note and don't do it. You can write is like a suggestion ( "The base was destroyed, probably wiping out the defenders.") or like a thought ( "With such a blast the commander assumed that all of the defenders should be dead now"), because this way you give your opponent the freedom of decision about his own story while helping him understand the scale of the attack and make up his own mind what type of casualties would be realistic after this event.

I write the base part because you attacked my forces, because it says bunker and turrets, which i created. I also though your force is large and have a base so i write your base being destroyed. Also, sorry for not specifying the dead soldiers part, not all of the soldiers are killed in the attack

I think what Petz is getting at is that, as a general rule (especially when dealing with smaller total numbers like petz is), is that very rarely do you want to mention actual destruction/killing of enemy forces directly. You can give a general sense of destruction (e.g. "The bombers rained hellfire over the city"), but you want to leave it at that, and allow for other players to state their damages/the effect the weapon has on them. This ensures that everybody retains control over their own stuff. For example, I ended my last post with a volley of laser fire, and left it to Eodor to inform me of its effects. As for the bunkers and towers, I'm sure plenty exist in the city, and they are not necessarily just yours being destroyed; with numbers like the vortexians have, it's more reasonable to drop a soldier or building from them than anyone else, although I tend to avoid doing even that when possible.

On an unrelated note, mind tossing us an update on the space battle Eodor? Us loyalists in space can't land and join the surface battle until this blockade is pierced or the fleet is destroyed

No,no...I was talking about the Vortexian defenses, not yours. The petz didn't charge at your positions, but at the direction of the wall of Avakon, because as far as I understand your forces are coming behind the frontlines. In fact, the petz did the opposite thing - they retreated from your forces and only created a defensive perimeter behind the main attacking group to try and hold your troops for the moment.

And about the death and destruction topic I ment that you should only state what is the type of an attack without writing the damage it inflicted on enemy forces. The damage part is up to the attacked person who should have, of course, some sense of realism and information on what the weapons actually do.

[Eodor]

The 50 AU FTL-I field is a bit too big. It will be limited to 0.5 AU at most.

I will not be posting tomorrow. IRL stuff.

But my troops have shield emitters, surgically inserted into their bones that can resist a 700 megaton blast 6 feet from them. That's pretty realistic ::nods::


Edit: on a more serious note, are we allowed to RP the death of a few mooks here and there or do you want tight control over the casualties?
