Luna Primum (Political/Character RP) - IC
"Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars! Let me see what spring is like, on Jupiter and Mars..." - Frank Sinatra, 1954
After decades of preparations, the first permanent lunar colony has come to fruition. Through years of collaborative effort by NASA, the ESA, the RSC, and the CNSA, a group of fifty-eight colonists from all across the globe have traveled to the moon, following the successful deployment of a lunar shelter. It is now the year 2025, in the very heart of the Sea of Cold, or in Latin, Mare Frigoris. Factions are all vying for control of the Lunar Council. These factions may form together as blocs, which are groups that still run themselves, but vote together on certain issues, for example, religion, or independence. These blocs also get a snazzy new name, and their own color. Everything else that happens to this colony is up to you, you who are the very first Lunar pioneers. How will the moon's culture, its government, its surface, and its colonies grow and develop? Can the first colony cut off ties with Earth, and survive independently? Will the colony remain loyal, or perhaps get a UN status? Will the colony fail, the moon doomed to remain like Antarctica, simply dotted with research stations, conquered by no mere human? With an initial fifty-eight colonists, anything can happen, even in the span of a month. With medical treatment falling upon only one or two colonists, the colony could simply shrivel up and die, ravaged by disease. You yourselves must decide where the colony goes, and how it fares. What will happen to the fledgling colony? How will it survive? Who will take control? Will we become anti-intellectual theocrats? A godless society doomed to civil war? A feudal society where inequality runs rampant? A corporate puppet, ruled by greed? Or a racist society of radical revolutionaries, at war with the Earth itself?
