I'll try that - my aim is to import a game save from iOS to Steam. Apparently its possible with software like Airship but that only works on Mac.

Yes... I am somewhat resigned to that possibility if the above doesn't work.

If you can find the file you could probably copy it over, load it, then save it on it the steam cloud.

The American "Civil War in the Private RP Setting

(I DESIRE A BETTER NAME FOR THE SETTING)

So... I was thinking and I'd rather not have the CSA exclusively where something not so good is taking place. In that regards the 'National Union' plot line we had discussed- where in plans where to use the war to bring about a single party state in the USA. Plans that failed due to Lincoln's assassination. The idea here is that the two party system was as close as that plot managed to get- the result of trying to salvage the plan but failing due to the nation being polarized by the conflict.

In this regard we again give the war a balance rather then a bias though one can argue and possibly be correct that this plot didn't come into being until the war it's self as the war gave motive for such a plot to gain momentum. Plus one can argue that due to such the CSA wasn't really fighting against said plot as a whole. But it does give some 'eerie' nature to the Union. Idk.... maybe I should just let it be as it is.

Have been watching babylon 5 recently, and seeing as how i was already taking some influences from bab 5 for Welcome to Omega Station, i will be working some more parallels into the eventual reboot.

I will be adding some companion races similar to the Draug'n in age, these will be called the Elder Races, or such, there is the Draug'n/Progenitors, then the Precursors, the Mensir, which will be an entirely female race, akin to the asari from mass effect. There will be other Elder Races, but those three are the most well known, with the Mensir still seen on occasion. At some point in the distant past a certain event happened to those three elder races, making them all nearly exinct, the Draugn made the Ihbb as a legacy, while the Mensir, who had lost their other half changed and evolved, and the PrRecursors well, they left a legacy much like the Draug'n, but it was more morally dubious than genetic manipulation and such.

Additionally, i have decided that the Terran Confederacy is now the Terran Commonwealth, and i am in the process of changing the lore a bit, having their be an Intergalactic council of sorts, made of reps from every nation/major power, that is responsible for choosing the Admin, instead of the responsibility or such rotating following each admins dismissal, i might also change the reason for the last Admins dismissal being causing a war between one of the major powers and another, or such, just the official reason is corruption.

Only response I can give, cause if you support the rebels you are a racist, if you support the union you are a fascist, and if you just talk about the plain honest facts then both sides will gladly join hands to both call you names. -.-"

There is a whole lot to it, and I feel to accurately discuss the issue and its effects we would never actually get to our fictional story. However if we delve a small bit into it then it seems wrong to not give all of our take. In other words what would start as a simple story premise would have to be told in tons of volumes, and the only project of that size we ever even attempted is OM&T - basically what I mean to say is that we would never actually advance passed the "Victorian" age, and I know some folks seemed eager to get to WWI and WWII.

wel... yeah I for one want to be either modern with mid century aesthetics or the actual 60s/70s.... starting with such was my intent and thus why I wanted to get the details of the Civil War down; I don't really see it as a time for superheroes or masked avengers- :/ I had thought of such a bit latter (I mean yeah Zorro is pre civil war but- I'd rather not have players tampering with that era of history.

Like I'm certain if we did a WWII RP one of us would probably give Gorring a good one two three- I just wanted the past sorted out so we could get into the present but as you've said- history lessons. We don't need it all detailed right now.

I brought up the Civil War as I was exploring how the present of the setting may have come into being- like what the world is like with all that it has- supers, monsters, super science, etc.

I needed some history between monsters and men and having Vampires in the civil war is a great idea for that. Since a good number of characters are not from our world I figured that even with different people and names events could still play out to the same conclusion though through a different process- the CSA looses, the central powers loose, the cold war ends with a soviet collapse- same outcomes but different paths to that outcome.

All do to the superweapons, monsters, etc in the setting. ... It seemed doable but now I have some doubts.

Instead of doing the Avengers ish superhero team story we are going for then, better idea.

I never watch DC as you knw, so on movies this is all the examples I got XD
Captain America: The First Avenger, despite having watched Iron Man for yeas by this point, took the audience by storm! And then the end where he was revealed to be coming to the modern day? Priceless.

We could do that, have a hero set in that time period specifically to open the story up. We in fact have a hero perfect for it, we jus tneed to rework things a tad...

So Robyn Davis - her mother is a Russian immigrant witch, her father a sailor in the Navy. The plot ends up being a whole shadow war behind the civil war. A clashing of legions, a war of magicians, and lycans, and vampires. As the Union and the Confederacy go at it, behind them are forces aligned to each side doing the same. Or perhaps factions of each "race" doing so. Reason would say not all vampires and lycans would support using humans as feasting trays - and not all magicians would see themselves as superior to normal man.

Not sure the specifics, but to bring us forward to the present at the end of it all, after we have set the story up. Robyn finds her way to the "final boss" some horrific demon or a witch, something magical, and instead of the great fight we leave the audience to expect the villain cackles and opens a gateway saying "I shall win this war, far after its loss!" and jumps through the portal. Our hero confused by the meaning of that jumps through what she thought was a teleportation circle and instead finds herself knocked unconscious and thrown through some strange reality. The other end of it she is left lifeless in a cave.

Now que our modern heroes! I think it seems like a nice segway, plus I can write for that kind of character pretty well... modern technology fails me entirely. I remember phones with circular dials. Those were the fun ones.

This has made me overtly aware that, as I had not intended the supers to be the focus, I'm going to need you help in that regard.

My interest was elsewhere in setting so... like I see where one would have gotten the impression that I was focusing on them- as i decided to talk about Lady Liberty- and ideas for her character. The setting is suppose to be diverse so yes we'd talk about her and others and I wouldn't stop players from being supers- it's allowed and encouraged;

I however intended to play more of an amature investigator- a hobbiest so to speak. I've not been great at hosting super hero fiction- either I'm too good and leave only for the players to beg for my return (claiming I was the only true hero in the RP) or I'm poor at damage control and the situation gets out of hand.

Your idea is a good one- a bit more then I sought to include- but it works.

ALRIGHT I'm ready to get this right- to find some balance- as I - really didn't intend to focus on the heroes- I saw them more as 'personalities characters are familiar with and may occasionally get the chance to interact with or in the case of Lady Liberty school with without knowing who she is while she struggles with identity'.

I see now that was again me being selfish- it's an RP for us, not just me- for us. We must explore your plotline- even if I'm nervous :p :lol: There isn't anything that makes it so the plots can't both be going on at the same time, I'm just worried about the impact on the world (again it seems a bit more then I was going for- just felt the races needed some past to explain society).

Can't say I'm big on the idea of a female civil war era hero, but that's what you want to play. As I've said, I'm going to work with it this time.

:lol: *nervously* I'm just a tad burned out on the superhuman genres but the setting is diverse so it includes them so we may host what ever RPs we like in the setting (including the Civil War one but for all that is molly rolly polly I'm nervous that it'd get to the point that I'm unable to handle it with stability or that players will radically alter history to the point of the setting no longer being familiar in any way making it more challenging for new players to jump right in.

Alright- I realize that what I want is to see how people in that world interact with one another... idk; when I try to put it in words it sounds incorrect and my head slightly hurts.

I know I can't host a Superhuman RP; just as I can't host a School RP- so genre wise I have no idea what to call this idea :(

Women in the Civil War is an interesting topic, women *did* fight; but a good one and a smart one never made the history books for it, why? Because you never knew she was a woman.

This was a bit different of an age, you did not have masses of guys shoved into a tiny barracks at this point, well you did, but that was not the actual battlefield. The battlefield camp is a collection of tents, you roomed with one another as needed, yes, but far as I have ever seen it was one tent - one soldier. Especially because these things are rather small. So if a woman decided she was going to change in her tent, bathe away from everyone else, and hide any signs of being a woman; which are not too hard, aside from bust and menstruation, she could effectively fight in the war. Now, how we see it in fiction and such for the most part? An outright lie. A woman would have to cut her hair, wrap her bust tightly in gauze if she had a rather well figure, and if she was menstruating certainly keep an eye to hide that (given it is a war, bleeding from wounds would be common though in all point of fact)

Robyn would not be an outright soldier though, my plan was that after her father gets killed in the war she feels the desire to go whoop ass for old Uncle Sam in her father's name! Aboard the ship she is sent ashore with some other sailors and marines to secure the land (getting sniped at on a sitting vessel was a major issue, especially when sleeping, shore patrol would engage harassing forces) and ends up at a lovely manor home with the officers upon invite of the Surgeon (she is a Surgeon's Steward) though things quickly get odd as the host and hostess seem to want to dine on more than the meal.

Unsure to her then why the vampiric hypnosis failed on her Robym flees only to be forced and fight her own crew as she mounts the Captain's horse, Admiral - a fitting name - and in earnest flees far as she can. Thus begins the tale of a soldier far behind enemy lines, no supplies or reinforcements, waging war upon a foe not even known to exist.

Now to figure out where Confederate hogwarts would be :P

I just like the idea of her being forced into a spy like role, digging deep into the snake, finding herself facing these foes everywhere from Atlanta to New York - posing as a southern belle or a industrial aristocrat. A war of subterfuge hidden beneath the waves, far from the visible eye.

On the present though, I thought we were going for a story like Champions? You can be a hero, you can be a villain, do whatever - at least that was my interpretation of it.

I know I can't host a Superhuman RP; just as I can't host a School RP- so genre wise I have no idea what to call this idea :(

I think where we keep failing is the RP thing, instead of role playing, why not just write stories?

We all rock at writing stories, we have whole vooooolumes of fan fiction for crying out loud :P

Instead of trying to fit other groups, let's be us, we are writers, not actors. So let's write.

:) Alright :)

:D YEAH! That's a lot easier then RPing, and a lot more sound yeah..

ALRIGHT :D

um... first we know what the setting is (we've been discussing it) so here is the character concepts I've got so far;



Characters

Lady Liberty - daughter of the Eagle (WWII super), not super- mostly did patriotic events- not real hero work- taking time to try to define her self; will join the Justice Society of America eventually.

Cassie - Lives in a cabin in the woods with her family, a bit of a tomboy- family cuts wood for a living. They and herself are actually werewolves but none of her friends know that. Her family considers themselves to be 'Hounds of God' and she's been brought up in that mentality. She's Roy's friend; and Roy kind of likes her but he doesn't know.

Shaque - African American owner of Hiemin; his best friend is Roy. They do car repairs together. Shaque is skeptical of the world and honestly prefers the company of Hiemin over Roy.

Roy - Sandy haired thin guy who talks like his tongue is too heavy. A Southern Heritage enthusiast and mechanic born on a corn farm. Hiemin was suppose to be given to him but he gave Hiemen to Shaque. Unlike Shaque roy isn't Skeptical of the world; he's more likely to believe someone when they say something supernatural is afoot and also more likely to react with fear.

Hiemin - Hiemin is an intelligent German Shepard born, raised, and educated at a Talking School for Dogs in California. His ancestor was one of the dogs from the first of such schools in Germany. Other then that he's just a dog. He was purchased for Lendsy by Lendsy's father for her birthday but Lendsy isn't into dogs so offered him to some random guy at school (Roy) who accepted him and then gave him to Shaque.

Lendsy - just some rich girl- that's all I've got.

Comment on them and then tell me a bit about Robyn and we'll tie things together 8)

How about we call your lassie up there Miss America - because we threw that one around in the planning phases last time and it sounds pretty nice, but I am partial to Lady Liberty - especially given how Robyn's costume was designed off the statue (I should probably copy that notebook some how and post those sketches), but given how her father was named Eagle, we could actually name and give your character a costume very avian focused of give them attributes of such. Only eagle thing on RObyn is that her mask is a masquerade mask designed to look like an eagle with the beak and feathers and such - so we could do an eagle themed hero and it not bee too redundant.

Rachel has a lot of Native design to her costume far as I remember, so she might have feathers on her robes and stuff, but with hers it was more a clash of European and Indigenous design with a red white and blue theme.

Perhaps her costume is designed like a star spangly angel? That could work, though she has no wings... well, Falcon did not either by biology, so we could *give* her wings to fit the design. It'd just be nice to build up a real patriotic themed team, we need more dudes though since it would be three girls, we need like two guys at least to have some sort of variety.

Also, no pulling a marvel or dc, we are nto gonna shove minorities into stuff just cause, they either work in to the story or they don't.

EDIT: And yes, Robyn and Rachel are not heterosexual, but we are not making a big damned deal about it at any point, because shit like that pisses me off. Marvel and DC have ruined characters for me because they go "Hmm, *this character*, but -insert skin color or sexuality change here-." America Chavez is a good example of how I think that can be done nicely. The character was designed well and then they were like "Well, what if she was like Captain America?" Just wanted to restate my feelings on that. Every character needs to matter more than for just what they look like. They need to be a person, be someone, not just fill some arbitrary asinine quota.

you caught me- yeah I made him black just to be black :? He needs a lot of work; who knows- we could merge him with Roy unless- can you think of any thing we can do with the character? Right now he's (as you quickly noticed) just there to be there :?

And I like the idea of reworking the 'Lady Liberty' into a more avian superhero. The thing with Marvel's Angel and his wings was having to conceal them;

As he said, not very comfortable :p It's either biological or part of the suit for this character (Not sure we should call her Miss America due to beauty pageants).

Roy was the friend of Robyn from champions attacking the confused kid who thought he was a Nazi right? I like that idea, I liked Roy and that boy whose name I cannot think of.

Far as the lady hero. Miss America would work I think, perhaps she could even be a pageant girl and that is her cheeky way of telling the public "You know who i am, but you will never *know* who I am!"

The wings thing would be cool! We do need Male heroes now though just so we can get a guy themed off Uncle Sam!

Nope.

Robyn and Rachel show the story of true Americans fighting against liberalism. They are not victims, they are people.

Both the ladies present a story I feel the world needs to hear, I wont compromise on that. I do not intend on shoving it in your face, but I will not back down from it either. Sorry, bud, I gotta refuse you that request.

Fair enough, and no harm.

I'm going to look over the Philbanks RP to check up on Roy as I didn't intend a connection but since the characters we are using derive from that work I'll check up on it to see if Roy is the same guy.

No harm done.

Now I will say there are gonna be points that fact matters. Actually wrote a piece at one point of Robyn getting in a fistfight at a pride parade because someone was burning and stomping the Amerocan flag.

I guess Robyn would have to go to high school since she has no diploma...?

I didn't find anyone named Roy in it (the IC nor the OOC) but decided to look into the character who did attack that confused kid. (the attack was named Frank, the kid was Ricky)

hmm... this is a link to the post.

As I've yet to fully receed to the idea- can you- give me a small sample- a paragraph at least- of what Roy is like with that personality. Some simple situation- maybe in town or just a conversation between him and- what ever we decide to call the character formerly known as Shaque (I mean we can keep the name, my dad's Tyrone but he's white) so the name doesn't really have to change.

We still need to decide weather to remove, or rework the character of Shaque. If removed Hiemen would be Roy's dog.

(I'm currenlty looking at this as us using details from Philbanks but not using the same setting as Philbanks but as this is a multiverse some people, events, and places are sure to still exist in the present setting- or who knows :p a Frank could have been named Roy and still be the same person biologically though perhaps not in upbringing)

Well, being a graduate does give one more freedom to roam the setting but if you want to still be in school I'll not object to it and I'll even work with the other characters as high schoolers- hahah I :) I think we both know such a connection lends for more character interaction.
