Hello NationStates!
Your friendly neighborhood Vodka here with Star Fleet's most advanced (and vastly incomplete) starship, the Starship Anschluss. We're currently in the TRAPPIST-1 Solar System.
This is a Discord-Based Character Roleplay.
Backstory
The year is 2317. These are the voyages of the Starship
At this time, there is currently a Cold War (Part 2 anyone?) between the Federation of Earth (Democracy, Capitalist, Advanced, Space Exploration-Oriented) and the Vladivostok Intern (Authoritarian, Socialist, Less-Advanced, Space Exploitation-Oriented). Years after a bloody 4-year-long war, the two nations are at odds against each other. Many of their high-ranking generals were arrested and put into prisons across several planets for war crimes committed during the war. One such criminal, our dishonorably discharged captain, stole a spaceship while in transit from one prison to another. And that is where we began.
Due to a series of unfortunate events, the FES Anschluss was destroyed in a nuclear explosion after the reactors overloaded. Because of this, the crew has been relocated to the FES Skyward, which is an experimental Carrier-Class Starship. Bigger, somewhat stronger, and actual weapons (yay). All new members will be joining as the crew of the Skyward until otherwise stated.

Rules
OP: Status Ion (Vodkaslavia)
Co-OPs: Thanatos Forea (GlobalControl), Thane
1] As per standard Roleplay Procedure, no Godmodding, Spamming, Trolling, Flaming, or otherwise nonsensical behaviors are allowed. OP and Co-OPs have the right to remove you for breaking this rule.
2] There is a basic story that we will be pertaining to, but for the most part of how we get to each “milestone” is completely up to everyone. That’s what makes the story more fun. While, yes, OP-word is law, it won’t be used too much as this story is supposed to be crafted by all, not just the admins. Just be sane (and heck, insane helps sometimes too if done right).
3] If you are unhappy with your character, please tell us and we’ll help you fix it. If you want to change your roles entirely, let us know; before you remove yourself from the other one, have a backup ready in advance.
4] Characters have no limits, though don’t make them invincible. Everyone will have weaknesses. There is no longer a requirement for them to be humanoid, they just have the ability to be able to do the job they’re hired to do.
5] Try to be active. We understand when life gets in the way, so let us know if you need time off, but if you suddenly disappear for more than a week and never gave anyone a reason as to why, we’ll open your spot back up for others. After two weeks, we’ll remove you entirely from the server.
6] In regards to Not Safe For Work Content. You must ask for a NSFW Tag. As we are unsure of everyone’s actual age (and please do not post it here to tell us) and the like, we do not want to be responsible for underage viewing / engaging in pornographic activities in the roleplay. The NSFW Tag ensures that all NSFW Content is kept to Hidden NSFW Channels. Asking for and being granted the Tag means that you agree you are of legal age in your home country to view/engage in pornographic content and none of the persons within the roleplay are legally responsible for anything you may view. This also means that the OP (Status Ion) and Co-OPs (Thanatos Forea, Thane, and any future admins) are not to be held responsible for you viewing content you do not like / agree with / illegally or legally view as you have consented to the above statements upon asking for the NSFW Tag.
7] If you wish to have a role that we have not mentioned, simply ask us and we’ll tell you if we will allow it or not. If you’re trying to be an enemy, almost anything you ask to be should be allowed. Joining the crew is a little stricter, just because we already have the ship designed for what we have. If the change / new role(s) / whatever is something we can integrate easily, we’ll more than likely allow it if it lets you enjoy yourself more during the roleplay.
8] Be sure to know what’s going on at least a little bit before you hop in. This is not based off the game Faster Than Light. Much of the technology that is seen in standard Sci-Fi films is experimental in this universe. Shields are brand new technology and as such very few ships (and those ships are solely larger ships) have it. Most people will be coming from (if you’re joining the crew) the Federation of Earth, although there are always exceptions to this part of the rule. All nations within this roleplay are relatively small compared to, say, Star Wars, as most only cover a few systems, not the entire galaxy. As such, larger ships are few and far between due to their expensive costs and resources needed. As such, larger ships are solely for the military, and bounty-hunter / civilian ships are on the smaller / cheaper end of the spectrum.
9] Touching the plane is expressly
10] We recommend that any characters you create are over the age of 18 (legal age to join the military) at the very minimum, though we do recommend that if you’re going for anything that is not expressly military-related to have had at least enough to get a degree or training in said field. (A person that is 18 with a PhD in Biology is highly unlikely, whereas a person that is 22 with a Bachelors in Nuclear Engineering is extremely likely.) The younger the person, the less experience they have in a field, obviously.
