Description

TL;DR 1916 Realpolitik Light AWRP, in the aftermath of a Russian revolution that has installed a Provisional Government with socialist leanings. Threat of Civil War looms in the horizon, just as it has already begun in the eastern hemisphere against the Confederate States. Meanwhile the decadent European powers continue to play their many-sided chess game of politics and diplomacy. CURRENTLY ACCEPTING BALKAN NATIONS AND RUSSIAN FACTIONS.

Queen Victoria's Great Exhibition in 1851 brought all the right crowds, even those of the chess player variant. While on break during the very first international chess tournament in London, 21 June, Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky played an offhand match. It was dubbed the Immortal Game, and for good reason; Anderssen sacrificed two rooks, a bishop, and a queen in order to secure a checkmate. In our reality, Kieseritzky moved 20... Na6, but here he elected to move 20...Ba6. While Anderssen still ends up victorious, this one move creates a divergence, the results of which would, as the stepping upon a fragile butterfly would, alter the course of history forever, and thus the fate of the world as we know it.

Now, it is September 1916, and Russia stands in the aftermath of a revolution. Who instigated this revolution, you say, and against whom? More importantly, what was the outcome? All this and more must be answered by you, the player, and none other, for a civil war looms against the horizon, the likes which will change the face of the world from the taiga to the British seas and beyond. Such a burning propensity is felt in all circles, from the Reichstag of Berlin to the Parliament of London to the Cortes of Madrid to the Congress of Washington; the situation recalls an era of Blood and Iron, of ruthless pragmatism and diplomatic tact.

Gone now are the days of dull conflicts, peace, goodwill, and colonial concessions No, the days of plotting, scheming, and Machiavellian enterprises that might be expected in the realm of realpolitk rule supreme, and cunning, stabs-in-the-back (real or assumed), backroom deals, heated negotiations, political outmanoeuvring, and vague wordings shall be the weapon of the will of the state. Breathe now, in royalty, the air of sharp and dramatic turns of international relations and petty maneuvering of diplomacy and slick dealings and concessions rather than the dull trudging along of lightning landgrabs that make no mention of dysentery, malaria, yellow fever, pneumonia, etc, and shape the land as you see fit.

Maestro, choose your instrument, and let the music play.

Description

US-Mexican Border Region (New Austin/Nuevo Paraiso) - 1976

They say that the West is dead; that the new America has overtaken the open range, the cowboys, the wild nature of the frontier. They say that the Wild West now only exists in books, TV shows, and movies. What they fail to realize is that they have only forgotten about the existence of the Wild West, a spirit that is continuing to live on like the spirit of America. The Wild West has yet to lie down and be buried by the modern America. Compressed into the American state of New Austin and the Mexican state of Nuevo Paraiso, the Wild West has no intention of settling down anytime soon.

Over 60 years have passed on since former outlaw and bounty hunter John Marston, in cooperation with the then-Bureau of Investigation, struck down 3 notorious outlaws in New Austin and played a pivotal role in the overthrow of Nuevo Paraiso's military governor, and ultimately the overthrow of President Ignacio Sanchez of Mexico, before being gunned down himself by the government for his previous criminal record. Strong men of the West like John Marston and Marshal Leigh Johnston - and rebellious men like Dutch van der Linden and Abraham Reyes may be long dead, but the wide open wilderness of this region still exist to this day. Despite the best efforts of the West to hold true, the city of Blackwater, the plains of West Elizabeth, Thieves' Landing, and Escalera have all begun to modernize greater than most areas in the region, with Blackwater growing into a modern city of 400,000 and an important commercial hub with the rest of America to New Austin.

Surveying for oil in Cholla Springs County and Hennigan's Stead Counties, the Southwestern Oil Company has managed to discover oil deposits in the two counties, with the ranching and nature communities all raising concerns about their operation, and the law having to respond to growing violence between Southwestern employees and angry cowboys. Meanwhile, real estate developers in West Elizabeth seek to expand into Tall Trees and build ski lodges in the ever-snowy region, while the hunting community and the local Red Wolf Tribe switch to activism and even violence to end the development.

Where would the Wild West be without crime, right? The infamous bandit groups that once owned New Austin and Nuevo Paraiso have transitioned into outlaw motorcycle gangs fighting the law and other groups for control over the drug trade, with Laotian heroin losing its dominance giving way to Colombian cocaine and Mexican marijuana. The Cosa Nostra has been reported to have set up shop in Blackwater, with several families looking to strike up a deal with the Mexicans, trading guns for marijuana, though some of the Mexican cartels are opposed to this, instead choosing to distribute their marijuana through predominately Mexican-American gangs in cities throughout the US. The law and the cartels are also embroiled in a small border war, with the law cracking down on smuggling and illegal immigration.

You, my friend, are living in this region during the West's final fight. In this story, maybe you are just another joe, working on a ranch in Hennigan's Stead, or an office worker in Blackwater. Perhaps you are a lawman, wearing the star of a Cholla's Springs Sheriff, an officer of the Policía Federal, or the shield and 5-pointed star of a New Austin Ranger. On the other end of the spectrum, perhaps you are a Mafioso arriving at the Blackwater International Airport from New York, looking to establish a base for your family in New Austin, or a cartel smuggler, exchanging drugs for guns and evading the law. Whatever you are, know that you have a role in the metaphorical war between two cultures.

Description
The Commonwealth of Gran Tierra. A population of over 4 million people. A former Spanish colony in the Caribbean that was ceded to the United States after they won the Spanish-American War, it's a haven for crime in the Caribbean Sea, more so than any other state or territory in the U.S. That is partly because the Commonwealth's government gets little funding from the Federal government, as most of their attention is diverted elsewhere, to other states. The Gran Tierran Unified Police Department, the regular law enforcement agency for the island and the cities in it, is horribly underfunded, and makes do with weapons from the late 19th century, cars that lag behind the rest of the United States, and a huge amount of corruption.

The capital of the Commonwealth, Nueva Esperanza, translated into English as New Hope, is a city of 396,000 people, and is known for its friendly people, good weather, nice culture and cuisine, and having a very good sugar industry in the hills surrounding the city. However, the truth is darker. Many gangs have gone to war in the years before, and in the process, killing many citizens of the city and damaging countless buildings. The Gran Tierran Unified Police couldn't do anything about it due to initial City Government reluctance, and they still couldn't take action until now.

The rest of the Commonwealth is mostly rural and outlaw country, except for a few cities around the coast and some inland. A United States Navy base and Air Force base are at the town of Fort Liberty, one of a few cities safe from crime in the entire Commonwealth. Some groups have formed in response to the overwhelming crime, one example is the Rangers of the People, a vigilante force. They have modern weapons directly "brought in" from the American Mainland and a flow of cash made from buying the sugar farms around the village of Divina.

Now, it's your turn, to either indirectly aid the struggling Gran Tierran Police in their quest to bring law and order to the lawless island, or you can challenge the Police and make your own profits in this world. Or you are just an innocent bystander in this cruel, cruel world, and you stay out of everyone's way. It's up to you.

Description
You are a citizen of Jericho. Whether a farmer, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a policemen or a day to day laborer you live here and will see the biggest change that a small Kansas town could see. Jericho is heavily armed with guns, however, hardly any residents are war veterans, something that helped Mayor Green win his election. Bailey's Tavern, the only pub in town located on main street is where you go for each football season and as a nice friendly hearted pub, families are welcome for dinner. The Mayors office is in the large town hall along with the sheriffs office. The Medical Center is on the other side of the central part of town. You live either in the Center of the town, the outskirts, or are a farmer. The biggest farm in the city owned by Stanley Richmond helps provide local food to the town and a salt mine which supplies it and Glen Bern with salt while exporting across the county. Several farmhouses run on generators but others don't and the wide majority couldn't last for more than a week or so without a decent refill.

Description

Warning the Background is pretty long.

Backstory

Ever since is creation, the issue of the "peculiar institution" had been a long-standing divide in American politics, every effort being made to preserve the Union by trying to balance the power between Slave and Free States, as a series of compromises designed to keep both sides happy. However, on one fateful day in 1857, everything changed. The Supreme Court decision "Dred Scott vs. Sandford" turned the carefully kept balance on its head, ruling that state governments had no right to ban slavery on their territory, declaring that slaves, as a form of property recognized by the Federal government, were protected by the Due Process clause of the Constitution and held above state law. This new opening of territories to slavery, combined with cheap farmland in the midwest and high cash crop prices, led to the rapid spread of the plantation system northward, rich planters from Dixie buying up land faster than the poor Northern farmers could and starting to push free whites off of the good land along the region's rivers, either forcing them into a primitive system of sharecropping or into the workshops and processing facilities in cities like Minneapolis or Chicago. In the Northeast, with slaves from Virginia pouring into Pennsylvania and the slave trade re-legalized in the District of Columbia, the conspiracy theory of "Slave power" began to grow in popularity; the idea that Congress was under the stranglehold rich slaveholders, who were dedicated to keeping the Northern vote divided and to crush the growing economic power and population advantage of their partners in The United States. Slavery, it was believed, would be the vehicle of this economic stranglehold, by crushing the opportunities of the poor immigrant or young man to gain their own pieces of capital, and bring down tariffs to crush the infant American industries. Across the North, Anti-Slavery societies began to grow stronger, raiding newly established plantations and slave farms in the night to burn down the owner's homes and free their slaves. Slowly, the Northern vote began to congeal into a single compact block, rallying behind the Republican party, an idea of "Yankeeness" beginning to form; the idea that true freedom could only come to a man who worked for a master of his choosing, had a culture where his ideas and entrepreneurial spirit could sprout in any direction it chose rather than being driven by feudal tradition, and that true power came from the routes of the European empires; through collectivization of diverse peoples and the might of industry, rather than the agrarian traditions of old.

The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was the 1860 presidential elections; the hotly contested election was a competition between the Republican William H. Seward, the Democrat John C. Breckinridge, and the "Constitutional Union" party candidate John Bell (Who asserted that the North's concerns would have to be addressed if civil war was to be avoided, but avoided taking the radical stance of returning the rights of states to ban slavery, out of concern with his backers in Tennessee). In the closely contested election, none of the candidates managed to gain a majority of the electoral college votes, and thus the House of Representatives was set to decided... through a number of backroom deals, however, this resulted in the victory of Breckinridge, the fraud of the results leading riots to break out in many Northern cities, calling the elections a shame and demanding a decision by popular vote (which Seward would have won handily). When the Senate refused to allow the discussion, Massachusetts and the rest of New England left the union and formed the "Federation of New England", New England raised militias in Hartford, Boston, and Portland preparing for the inevitable attack of the United States.

When the newly-seated Breckinridge sent a flotilla of ships from Chesapeake Bay to sail up to Boston harbor and a battle broke out between New English and Union ships, resulting in the Union fleet being resoundingly trounced. Breckinridge then sent orders for the draft of a 100,000 volunteers from the Mid-Atlantic states to go up and crush the rebellion but already, the provisional New English government had been meeting with New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania's government in Philadelphia, commulating in what was deemed the "Third Continental Congress" and the secession of New Jersey, Philadelphia, and New York, merging with the Federation of New England to form The Free States of America; construction a constitution that banned slavery and both legislatures being decided by population, so no regional power could ever wield influence overstretching its population base again and insure all people had an equal voice in their government. The trend of secession into the F.S.A. spread rapidly, most formerly Free States joining in this new union and gleefully falling on the slaveholders who'd moved in, seizing their land, property, and freeing their slaves. Though the U.S.A tried to fight back, the writing was on the wall from day one; huge slave revolts in the South as men tried to run North, the overwhelming manpower, industrial, and naval advantage of the Federated States, left the paltry 3 year civil war as an effort in exhaustion for the Union, resulting in the Treaty of Jersey City, recognizing the new nation. Several other nations also managed to emerge from the chaos, as the United States lost control over its territories and states in the west, leaving North America a bitterly divided continent.

The waves of freedom and national identity have not stopped at the American border, however. Mexico and Canada have also splintered, as the ethnic and social chaos of both countries came to a boil, as the heavy European hand in both nations lead to their own Civil Wars, neither side being able to come up with a coherent government and the former nations splitting apart into various states. In way, North America is now as less-major example of Europe, semi culturally homogeneous groups divided by identity and political beliefs.

Now, seven years after the Treaty of Jersey City, it is 1870. The sun rises again on the American continent; the period of solidifying borders and stabilizing economies having come to an end. Europe, by its own accords, has taken a policy of non-intervention, and with the issues of peace and the pocketbook fully solved, the minds of Americans turn like those of the Germans and Italians; to the hopes and problems of diplomacy and reunification.

Description
"Few places in the world have a history as odd, or as poignant as Gunkanjima's. The tiny, fortress-like island (also known as "Hashima" or "Battleship Island")
lies just off the coast of Nagasaki. The island is ringed by a seawall, covered in tightly packed buildings, and entirely abandoned - a ghost town that has been completely uninhabited for more than forty years.

In the early 1900s, Gunkanjima was developed by the Mitsubishi Corporation, which believed - correctly - that the island was sitting on a rich submarine coal deposit. For almost the next hundred years, the mine grew deeper and longer, stretching out under the seabed to harvest the coal that was powering Japan's industrial expansion. By 1941, the island, less than one square kilometer in area, was producing 400,000 tonnes of coal per year. And many of those working slavishly in the undersea mine were forced laborers from Korea.

Even more remarkable than the mine was the city that had grown up around it. To accommodate the miners, ten-story apartment complexes were built up on the tiny rock - a high-rise maze linked together by courtyards, corridors, and stairs. Schools, bath houses, temples, restaurants, markets, even a graveyard, were built, all on a space the size of a football field, all encircled by the protective seawall. The island became known as "Midori nashi Shima," the island without green. Amazingly, by the mid-1950s, it housed almost six thousand people, giving it the highest population density the world has ever known. And then the coal ran out.

Mitsubishi closed the mine, everyone left, and this island city was abandoned, left to revert back to nature. The apartments began to crumble, and for the first time, in the barren courtyards, green things started to grow. Broken glass and old newspapers blew over the streets. The sea-breeze whistled through the windows.

Now, fifty years later, the island is exactly as it was just after Mitsubishi left. A ghost town in the middle of the sea."

In 2010 people set foot onto the isalnd once more, not to restore it or raise it from the dead, but turn into a tourist attraction. XTreme Tours opened it's doors on the isand and soon, the adveture seekers, ghost hunters and the curisosites of man flocked to the ghost island to get a glimpse of the past. A small section of the island was deemed safe for paying customers while other sections of the island were left to rot, fenced off for liability purposes. The Japenese government damned such a thing-turning the island into a tourist attraction. Nobody would ever want to talk about the island, questions were met a lot of hushed faces, a lot of people would turn away at the topic of the island, almost like it was a leper colony or as if there was some dark froce that would be unleashed, an omen.

There is nothing pretty about it. There's nothing beautiful about it. The whole place is just death and decay.

Luckily for XTreme Tours, people dig that sorta of stuff and are willing to spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars, to set foot on the decrepit island. This is where you come in.

Description
It's January 1, 1940. You will play a nation in this time filled with internal and external troubles that you will inevitably come across and will be there. Good luck. Numerous events have happened in history, such as that during the Battle of Antietam, General McClellan decided to pull back his troops due to a lack of food and ammunition for a prolonged fight, a mistake in his planning. Lee pushed even further into Maryland, cutting off the Western Counties from the heartland of the East. Due to this astounding victory, the British and French decide to recognize the Confederate States in September 20, 1862, angering the US greatly. British ships supplying the Confederates with ammunition and rifles is stopped by the US Navy outside Sullivans Island in Charleston, South Carolina. Britain demands the release of the ships, its items, and its crew, and the US refuses.

War is declared three days later between the US and Britain, and a day later, the French join the British and Confederates. Strikes by the British from Canada in the North, and the Confederates and French in the south, the United States government sues for peace in November 3rd of 1862. Peace negotiations result in the CSA's original territories being released alongside Kentucky, Missouri, West Virginia, the Indian Territory and the New Mexican territories. Due to huge Mexican debt in 1870, the CSA enters in a deal to purchase the states of Chihuahua and Sonora from the Mexicans. President Buenaventura Báez of Santo Domingo asks President Alexander Stephens for the country to be annexed by the CSA, and the proposal passes in the Confederate Congress. The country is formally annexed in March 2nd, 1870. The lagging of the CSA behind the rest of the world in building a strong industrial power base is seen by President Edward Thompson in 1883, and the president took big steps to introduce industry, at the outrage of the backbone of the nation, the farmers.

Thompson, a big racist but a witness of African-American ordeals, forcibly outlaws slavery in 1885, and he is assassinated a week after. Frank Johnson, the Vice President of the CSA, takes power and establishes extremely radical and outrageous Jim Crow laws to please the White-supremacist hardliners, and it works. The outlaw of slavery is still criticized on, but not as strong as before due to hardliner appeasement from the Jim Crow laws. The industrial power of the Confederacy gradually grows over the years by the policies of President Johnson.

A war with Spain in the year 1891 results in the annexation of Cuba and small reparation payments to the Cuban population, the Cubans resent the Confederates, however, and request for independence. The CSA refuses that, but does give more autonomy and elevates Cuba to a full State in the CSA. In 1914, the European Continent went to war but the American powers didn't join them in the war.

Now, it is 1940. Europe has gone to war again, and it is up to you, the player, to decide what your nation's path will be, going to war, or trying to have a futile peace.

Welcome to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Constable. This is an RP that will focus on the RCMP Detachment in the (fictional) small Northern Alberta town of Fort Lafayette and the daily duties they have to carry out. You will respond to all manner of incidents in the city and surrounding areas, as well as exploring the affects these incidents might have on your character.


The city government of Fort Lafayette is underfunded, and because of this, they decided not to spend the money running their own police department. Instead, they signed a contract with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, having them erect a small detachment near the town, having 15 constables provide the police services for the small town.


The Fort Lafayette detachment does not have any specialized units. All 15 of the constables assigned to it are assigned to General Duty. A Staff Sergeant is the ranking constable at the detachment, with another sergeant acting as the night shift supervisor, 4 corporals (2 assigned to each shift), with the remaining 9 being constables.


Fort Lafayette is a quiet town for the most part. The only problem is the usual drunks and car accidents. That’s not to say there’s more serious crime in the area, it is only less frequent. Now, get out there and fight crime, constable.

Description
The Video Game Multiverse is a world existing on a super computer. The super computer has a data base of all video games. The data base serves as a central world, and in the data base is an entrance to each of the individual video game worlds. In this RP, everyone will RP as a real life video game world and all of its inhabitants. Individual characters can only be killed permanently inside another game world. If killed in their home world, they will just respawn in accordance with the rules of their world. If killed in the central data base, they will respawn back in their world. Also, each game has a World Sustaining Source Code (WSSC). The World Sustaining Code is basically a floating sphere of data (located somewhere in the world) that sustains the game's world. If the WSSC is destroyed, the world will slowly be deleted in about 5 minutes. Characters, however, can escape this by leaving the world before it is deleted. If a character is killed and their world is deleted, then they will not respawn. I think that's all the information you need to know, let's get started! Remember, you can't make up your own game. You need to use an already existing game.

Description

Set in 361 AL, 61 years after the events of A Dance With Dragons, Westeros has prospered under the rule of the good Queen Daenerys Targaryen. The RP opens the instant after her (seemingly) natural death. Having left no heirs, the realm fears that it will tear itself up once more in the name of the throne. Players are expected to take up a house, be it a powerful Great House that rules over a realm or a humble house of landed knights that struggles to keep it's own. With this house, they will play the game of thrones. Where they either win...or die.

It has been 60 years since the Second Long Night, and the death of the last of Daenerys Targaryen's dragons during that conflict. The War of the Five Kings had all but ended by that point, with the Lannister-Tyrell alliance having a secure hold on the Seven Kingdoms south of the Neck while the Boltons struggled to hold onto the north against Stannis.

Bar raids by Euron's Ironborn along the coast of the Sunset Sea and continuing attacks on the Iron Throne's forces in the Riverlands by the Brotherhood without Banners, peace had returned to Westeros.

That was all shattered within a year.

It began with Aegon Targaryen's landing in the Stormlands, swiftly followed by his marriage to Princess Arrianne of Dorne, who's armies marched to join Aegon in the Stormlands. The Lannisters, their forces destroyed during Robb's campaign in the Riverlands, were powerless to prevent Aegon overrunning the Rainwood and besieging Storm's End, and as such the Tyrells, led by Ser Garlan, marched against the Golden Company and lead elements of the armies of Dorne.

The Tyrell host, augumented by various Stormlander lords that threw in their lot with the Iron Throne rather than Stannis, broke Aegon's host at the Siege of Storm's End. Scattered, elements of the Golden Company under Captain-General Harry linked up with the Dornish forces that had arrived in the Stormlands too late to join the battle and prepared to fight a defensive war in the Prince's Pass and Boneway, while others under Jon Connington retreated into the Rainwood where they harassed the Tyrell army.

Of Aegon, there was no sign.

However, the invasion had the desired effect. Daenerys Targaryen, after appointing Shakaz mo Kandaq Lord of Meereen, marched west with her armies and her dragons. They reached the Narrow Sea around the same time as the Siege of Storm's End, and proceeded to invade Westeros in 4 distinct groups; Tyrion Lannister's loose mix of defected sellsword companies landed in Duskendale to march on King's Landing, Ser Barristan landed in the Vale with the Unsullied while Daenerys led her Khalasar and dragons into the Stormlands in search of Aegon and Victarion led his fleet of longships, augumented by sellsails from Lys and Tyrosh and 3 dromonds as well as many smaller ships under the self-proclaimed King of the Stepstones, Aurane Waters, to attack the Arbour and defeat whichever of Paxter Redwyne and Euron Greyjoy's fleets emerged triumphant following the former's fleet sailing west to smash the Ironborn.

Daenerys' initial attack went well. Petyr Baelish, de facto Lord of the Vale and Lord Robert's regent, revealed Sansa Stark to the rest of Westeros after marrying her to Harold Hardyng shortly before declaring for Daenerys. Tyrion's landing in Duskendale was met by little resistance, the Rykkers unprepared for a invasion, and soon enough a old friend reunited with him.

Bronn, now Lord Bronn Stokeworth, reunited with his former master's armies after marching his own army to join Tyrion a few days out from Duskendale, when after a brief reunion, continued their march on King's Landing.

When they arrived, they found the Red Keep had been turned into a bloody mess. Almost half the Kingsguard in the form of Ser Robert Strong and Ser Boros Blount lay dead along with Queen Margery Tyrell and her handmaidens, Lady Olenna Tyrell, and various others who had been attending court that day. The bodies of both King Tommen and Cersei were mysteriously absent.

On the Iron Throne, they found Aegon, smiling slightly, Varys standing slightly behind the Iron Throne. Varys, ever the cunning eunuch, had smuggled Aegon into King's Landing with the aim of launching a coup inside the city with the aid of the Gold Cloaks and the newly-reformed Faith Militant, which he had done after bribing the Gold Cloaks and Varys convincing the High Septon that King Tommen was indeed born of incest, a practice which the church had despised ever since the Conquest.

With Daenerys having linked up with the remains of the Golden Company in Dorne and besieging Storm's End, Ser Ilyn Payne found mysteriously dead several leagues from Casterly Rock after escorting Cersei and Tommen there, the Vale declared for Daenerys and the Riverlands in anarchy, eyes turned northwards.

The North had weathered the latter stages of the war well; with Tommen content to leave Stannis freezing at the Wall, it was left for Roose and Ramsay to smash him outside Winterfell. A task at which they utterly failed. Without the betrayal of the Karstark men, and with Manderley taking Winterfell after they marched out, the Boltons and their army froze to death in a blizzard while Stannis sheltered in Winterfell, and after Rickon was returned by Davos, the North soon declared itself for Stannis alongside several Riverland lords, as they claimed the Sansa Stark revealed by Petyr Baelish was a imposter while 'Arya' later confessed she wasn't.

Stannis, however, was unable to capitalise on this advantage, as soon enough the situation at the Wall once again worsened. With Jon's death, and the Watch split into factions between his supporters and those of Bowen Marsh, Stannis had to waste valuable time restoring order to the Watch before he could march south. Jon, however, was resurrected by Melisandre who traded her own life for his, and he soon began the reorganisation of the Watch in preparation of the coming war.

That was time the Freys, Lannisters and Tyrells used wisely. With Daenerys and Aegon still bogged down in the Stormlands and the Crownlands respectively, the forces loyal to Tommen used the time to dig in against their enemies, raising new armies and confident of holding their remaining territory in the Riverlands, Reach and Westerlands.

With the Iron Islands, Euron had been beaten back from the Reach, and reduced to launching oppitunistic raids along Westeros' west coast, until the Redwyne fleet faced off in battle against the Ironborn fleet off the coast of Casterly Rock.

The battle itself lasted mere hours, but ended with both sides disengaging; the Ironborn having captured many of Paxter's galleys, while the Redwynes had sunk over half of Euron's longships, and it was against these weakened fleets that Daenerys' armada under Victarion would fight.

The first battle was against the Redwyne fleet off the coast of Oldtown, between it and the Arbor. The Redwyne fleet, augumented by the galleys of the Hightowers and the few elements of the Royal Fleet based out of Oldtown, numbered roughly 120 galleys, facing off against Victarion's 45 longships, 80 galleys, and crucially, Aurane's 3 dromonds.

The Battle of the Redwyne Straits resulted in the routing of the Redwyne fleet, forcing it to seek safety behind the formidable defences of Oldtown's harbour walls, but it would ultimately contribute to Daenerys' fleet's destruction by Euron by forcing Aurane's dromonds along with half of the remaining galleys to blockade the Arbor and Oldtown.

With Victarion's death in the Battle of the Sunset Sea between his fleet and Euron's, the Iron Isles once again emerged as the largest naval power in the Sunset Sea while the remains of Daenerys' fleet scattered, heading back east towards the Stepstones and Free Cities.

Shortly after hearing that her fleet was defeated and Victarion killed, Daenerys began her campaign against the Lannisters and Tyrells as the first stage of a plan that had required a near month of preparation, during which the Freys and Stannis battered each other across the Riverlands, eventually resulting in the fall of the Twins and the subsequent massacre along with Riverrun's surrender to Stannis, while Darry and Saltpans were occupied by the armies of the Vale.

Daenerys' campaign was quick and brutal. The fields of the Reach were soon covered with blood as Daenerys, leading her Khalasar and Unsullied in a march on Highgarden while Aegon, accompanied by Arrianne, the armies of Dorne, the Faith Militant, Tyrion's sellswords and the Golden Company marched on Casterly Rock.

The Tyrells, much like House Gardener, chose to give battle before the walls of Highgarden. A 45,000 man army under Ser Garlan, by now a seasoned commander from the battles against the Ironborn and Daenerys, mustered against Daenerys' 25,000 and her 2 dragons.

The battle played out much like the Field of Fire; the Tyrells pushed forwards as quickly as possible, eager to engage Daenerys' outnumbered forces up close where she couldn't risk using her dragons for fear of killing her own men. Daenerys, however, was smarter, and used her Dothraki to harrass the Tyrell army, pulling it into smaller and smaller bands which the Dothraki destroyed with ease while the main body marched towards her Unsullied. That was when she committed her dragons.

The Reach's army was obliterated. Ser Garlan was burned alive, along his father with many other knights and lords of the Reach, and Willas Tyrell, the new Lord Paramount of the Reach, surrendered to Daenerys to prevent Highgarden being razed. With the Reach subdued, Daenerys turned north to the Westerlands.

Aegon had been making slow progress through the Westerlands; the mix of raids by deserting soldiers and the well-garrisoned and fortified Westerland castles had slowed his progress considerably, resulting in him only reaching Casterly Rock by the time Daenerys had engaged the Reach outside Highgarden, despite his larger host.

The Lannisters, under Cersei, did not give battle and instead retreated behind the walls of Casterly Rock, while Aegon prepared for a lengthy siege, not wanting to risk his dragon to the ballistae and crossbowmen that lined the walls.

In the Riverlands, meanwhile, the Freys had made one defiant stand against Stannis' army in front of the Twins; only half of their 20,000 men could make it to the battlefield, however, as the Brotherhood without Banners launched a coup in Riverrun, having infiltrated the town and castle and then settling in for a siege while other elements moved against Petyr Baelish's Valemen.

Stannis, honouring a promise he gave to the Riverlander lords, proceeded to execute all the Freys within the Twins for various crimes as well as freeing Lord Edmure, who had been kept in the dungeons following the fall of Riverrun and Walder Frey's refusal to hand him over to the crown, before reappointing him as Lord Paramount of the Riverlands and winning the rest of the Riverlands, as well as the Brotherhood without Banners, now led by Thoros of Myr, to his banner.

In the Westerlands, both Cersei and Ser Meryn Trant were found dead despite the castle being under siege conditions, and Casterly Rock surrendered to Aegon just as Daenerys arrived with her army.

That was the last act of what had begun as the War of the Five Kings and ended with the Targaryen Reclaimation. Stannis, a wiser man than his brother, chose to bend the knee to Daenerys in exchange for remaining the Lord Paramount of the Stormlands and that all lords which had followed Stannis would retain their lordships, as well as being free to worship R'hllor without interference from the Faith.

Peace had once again returned to Westeros. Daenerys ruled from the Iron Throne, her dragons chained away in the Dragonpit which was being rebuilt. Aegon and Arrianne ruled from Dragonstone, although Prince Doran's death later in the year meant they moved to Sunspear. Roslin, the last of House Frey after being spared on Edmure's orders from Stannis' violent massacre at the Twins and the following hunt across the Riverlands by the Brotherhood without Banners, joined Edmure in ruling from Riverrun. Tyrion gained Casterly Rock and would become Hand of the Queen, while Rickon ruled the north with Wyman Manderly as regent. Stannis had retired back to Storm's End. Petyr Baelish was defeated by the Lords Declarant after he poisoned Lord Robert, resulting in Harald Hardyng and Sansa Stark ruling the Vale. Harry Strickland of the Golden Company was granted the Dreadfort in reward, while Brown Ben Plumm was granted The Twins, Darrio Naharis Castamere and the other lordships that had been left empty such as Darry or Harrenhal were granted to others who had served the Targaryens in their reconquest or before. The Iron Islands, under Euron, retained their independence while Asha remained with Daenerys, waiting to take the Isles for herself.

Peace, however, was once again fleeting. The Second Long Night began exactly a year to the day since Melisandre sacrificed herself to resurrect Jon, and the Others invaded without mercy. The meager forces of the Night's Watch, although augmented by the Wildings and some Northern forces and lords sent to the Wall, fell within days, but those few days provided time for the armies of Daenerys to gather together.

The North, weakened by the War, was also defeated shortly but continued to bitterly resist, even after Rickon was sent south for safety and Winterfell fell. By the time Daenerys' army was gathered together, numbering some 90,000 men, the Others had advanced into the Neck.

Daenerys' army and the Others clashed on the Ruby Ford, the same place that Robert had crushed Rhaegar. Daenerys let the Others come to her, taking a defensive position along the riverbank and forcing the Others to attack across the fast-flowing water. The battle lasted for what felt like days, the dragons carving swathes through the ranks of Others and wights while Daenerys' army held the line, letting the dragons do the work.

The Battle of the Ford ended with all 3 of Daenerys' dragons dead, and Westeros bleeding from the bloodiest years in it's recorded history. Aegon was killed during the battle, fighting back to back with Jon Snow after Rhaegal was killed when the Others grounded him. Jamie Lannister, having been forced to become a Black Brother, also perished, alongside many others. Daenerys moved her Dothraki moved beyond the Wall, to watch for any signs that the Others were not yet spent, while the realm licked it's wounds. Daenerys, however, after that war and mourning the loss of Aegon, swore never to take a husband. The consequences of that decision are about to be reaped by the realm.

Description
The year is 2048, and in the span of 7 years, Asia has gone to shite in just about as spectacular a means as possible.

A decade ago, violence exploded between India and China, and since USA and Russia had ties to both, they really couldn't do much to help, though they eventually both sided with India. Just in time for the two nations to really start going at it and unleash nuclear hellfire at each other. This hurt everyone equally, even Japan, which remained neutral in the war even up to its end in 2045, when Beijing fell. Huge regions of India and China are either destroyed or irradiated, Pakistan and Taiwan are gone, and the United Korean economy has been severely damaged in trying to repair both the damage from its involvement in the war [on India's side] and trying to repair the empty husk that its northern half had been transformed to by almost a century of Juche. Piracy, too, is on the rise in the South China Sea, though they haven't made much ground on Japanese shores.

Now, several years later, Japan remains in an economic slump as the rest of Asia licks its wounds. Activity from nationalists, communists, and Republicanism is at an all-time high, and terrorism going up with them, especially in the capital of Tokyo. As a result, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police has authorized the creation of an elite division of officers - Special Law Enforcement Division 5, or SLED 5 - who will work with the most state-of-the-art equipment, including a set of four mechs - the only ones in any police force in the world, and to be used exclusively when shit truly hits the fan. Which is entirely possible from both sides of the political spectrum, with the Imperial Diet planning to pass a bill to repeal Article 9 of the constitution by the end of the year - which would finally make the Japanese Military more than just a self-defense force.

Description
(Please give a brief overview of your RP. Include any information you feel is necessary to attract players to your game.) The Three Winds is about a continent that had a king who couldn't have children for a long time. His evil cousin saw it as an opportunity to take the throne, but eventually the queen gave birth to triplets. Furious that his plans would be ruined now that legitimate heirs had been born and because of a prophecy saying that the power of three would defeat him, the cousin decided to steal the infants and scatter them across the continent. He has sent assassins across the continent to kill them, but each has been adopted by a different family. The triplets are now twelve years old and are completely unaware of their royal heritage or even their real names. Players choose whether to be on the side of the king and help find and protect the children, or be on the side of the evil House Draegar and try to seek and kill the heirs. Or you can be on your own and kill them to try to take the throne for your own.

Description
On the night of January 23rd, 1975, a heavily mutilated body was discovered on the side of Bray Road, in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, holding a video camera. The video seemed to show some sort of large wolf attacking the man, and the cause of death was attributed to a wolf attack. One of the police officers investigating the incident became convinced something bigger than a wolf committed the killing, and began to obsess over the case. A year later, his continued investigation off duty into a closed case resulted in him being fired, and any further talk of the incident was curtailed within the Elkhorn Police Department.

The problem is that in 1981, another body appeared under similar circumstances. This prompted the local police and sheriff’s departments to launch a massive campaign to find and eliminate the wolf responsible. For the next 15 years, the local law enforcement agencies offered bounties to whoever killed a wolf big enough to have committed the incidents, as well as sending periodic patrols into the woods around Elkhorn to try and find it. This proved ineffective, as the body count continued to rise to 8 by 1996. By some miracle, the attacks stopped after 1996 until 2013.

In 2013 a “militia” group calling itself the 321st Constitutional Rifle Brigade took up operation is some backwoods about 10 miles outside of Elkhorn. A week after their founding on December 27th, one of their 6 members was found maimed and dead near their base of operations, with the leader, Brian Cavanaugh, convinced that the attack was perpetrated by Federal Agents with knives in order to intimidate them. What happened next is not entirely clear, as every single man in the campsite ended up dead by the next morning except for Brian, who was found mumbling on the side of the road when local sheriff’s deputies arrived to investigate reports of gunshots in the area. The police decided to treat the incident as a case of mass homicide, suspecting that some sort of serial killer was trying to imitate the results of the earlier wolf attacks. This resulted in the FBI becoming involved.

Fast forward 5 months and there are little results to show for the massive investigation into the incident, except for 4 more deaths and the FBI leaving behind a fraction of the original investigative team due to lack of leads.

In this RP, you will play as an FBI Agent, local police officer or sheriff’s deputy, or a resident of the local area as the attacks by the beast continue and the police do everything in their power to stop them.

Additional Info
Based on the beast of Bray Road

Description
Welcome to the Congo. The year is 1900. Belgian rule over this part of Africa has never been stronger, and that is evidenced by the town of Stanleyville. This town, deep in the heart of the Congo, is inhabited by little more than two dozen white settlers. These settlers have lived in peace for decades, only bothered slightly by some skirmishing between Arabs from the east and Belgian forces.

But there is a darker side to the Congo. The locals tell of terrible gods and dreadful curses. The curse of the living dead. They say that their 'voodoo' gods punish those who sin by giving them the burden of eternal life on Earth. But this eternal life is hardly life at all. These are the nzambi, the walking dead.

In this RP, you will be a citizen of the Belgian Empire dwelling in the town of Stanleyville. You have heard strange rumors from the east, of the dead rising and walking again. The rumors are getting closer and closer, and become more and more worrying. Do you have what it takes to escape the Congolese jungle, to warn the rest of the world? Or will you become... one of them.
