For demanding special treatment, for refusing to accept the authority of the co-ops, for blocking people on the Discord without reason, and for all in all being a nuisance, Morrallia is banned from this thread as well as the Discord server. Do not bother us again or we will bring in the moderation team.

[Morrallia]

Haha. Youre worse than the libs. Believe what fantasies you like. I got the screenshots to prove you're insane. Last time I try to be cool with a community of known pricks. Peace out, maricon.

Edit: I really don't give a damn about your sycophantic rules. I'll do what I want and how I want. If I got something to say, I'm saying it. The only way you're going to stop me is coming through that screen, ya heard me? That's on god bro. As for the group of this RP, I suggest you fix whatever personality issues it is you posses before you end up writing a check your hindparts can't cash!

When the OP of an RP tells you to stay out, you stay out. You do not reply with a flaming, trolling "screw you" post. *** You are warned for flaming, trolling and not listening to the OP when told to leave. ***

[The Palmetto]

Thank you Gon, I appreciate ya!

For anyone new to the thread who happens to read this, I hope y'all don't think badly of us because of this drama. It was an unfortunate situation that left everyone dissatisfied and disappointed, but luckily it is behind us now. This stuff isn't the kind the thing that regularly happens here, but unfortunately these things happen when an RP community goes on for long enough. Hopefully we can move on despite this, and all have a good time writing together.

Since Crow (Naval Monte) has said he wants to do a sequel arc to SOTR, I think I'll pop Scrappy in there. Thinking about giving him a big gun, just for fun. I had in mind something like a postmodern M2 Browning, which while absolutely massive for a normal human, would be alright for a 7ft tall robot. While it could definitely depend, how would be the attack potency of this weapon? If it uses bullshit futuristic ammunition, it could potentially be small building level, especially because of its rapid fire.

The power would depend on the type of ammuniation but I can see it being either at or surpassing wall level. Will the gun use conventional chemicals or are you planning on using something else like electrical ignition or a portable rail/coilgun?

EDIT: cross out the rail guns because they can't do rapid fire.

[Naval Monte]

So for those who have factions in the RP look at the selections on these links and pick which ones your civilizations or factions would have if they were in that quest's universe.

Government

From there pick the subtype you think bests fit your nation sense things like democracy, socialism, and stratocracy are to board to give a clear picture of the government.

Aspects

Now pick five aspects from this list that bests fits with the culture of your faction and add in two more that best fits with your factions history. You can make up your own aspects if none in the list fits your faction.

[The Palmetto]

Hmm, well if I'm reading that right I think the VCIS would be a confederation, in the name, after all. They'd be xenophilic due to having a large Alien population, if not being majority non-human. They're frugal, seeing as their military uses a lot of scavenged parts and is largely outdated. Definitely blunt, not like they're in a position to care about aesthetics anyways. Probably curious to some extent, given they live in the Outer Rim and would do a lot of exploring. Finally, probably seen as ugly. They have a massive diversity in species with a few droids in prominent positions (Like PS-T0), so it might be difficult for a person of any race to look upon the faction as a whole and think "Ahhh....that's hot."

Morrallia: Your little edit after my colleague warned you? Not a great idea. Considering your belligerent abuse of editing privileges and baiting here? *** 1-day forum ban and complete suspension of your ability to edit your forum posts, indefinitely; baiting and thread ban evasion through editing abuse ***

Please note: this ban applies to you, the player; any attempt to evade this ban will result in the deletion of this account as well as any evading account(s).

Furthermore, never post in this thread, or its In-Character thread again; that, too, will constitute a (thread) ban evasion, and will result in the loss of this account, as well as any evading account(s).

Those seem reasonable. Kinda wonder now how that will translate into stats if they were in that game.

Now with AEGIS. I know they aren't a nation but if I have to pick a government I would say the player made Meritocracy fits them. Now they are paranoid because they live in a conspiracy kitchen sink setting and truly have every reason to be paranoid. I would say they are frugal because they prize efficiency a lot and do make their tech to last and try to fix and recycle it as much as possible. Blunt because they care more for function over form, rather have something that is ugly but reliable than a flashy but buggy piece of crap. They are Curious because they want to know everything there is to the paranormal and their universe. Finally I would pick either Ruthless because they will do anything to achieve their goals or Adaptive because they adapt to any situation they are in.

Oh sense you picked ugly and it is a negative trait you can get another trait Jax. Also our factions share three traits.

[Rostavykhan]

Hi hi, Kyru.

-snip-

ICARUS would probably be Socialist. They'd be Xenophobic, however, as they're an organization formed originally because of Humanity's distrust of alien life, as an initiative to develop and arm Humans for the defense of Earth.They'd also be curious, because though they distrust most aliens, the technology and abilities that other species possess would be of great use for Earth, and anything that can be reverse-engineered or studied in-depth can and will be. They're also paranoid, as their most significant first-contact scenario involved a near apocalyptic war, and they're more likely to treat an alien vessel in Sol as a major threat than they are a curiosity. They'd be cultured, being made up of a large number of well-educated and intelligent individuals, wealthy businessmen and woman, and brilliant artists who consider themselves guardians of Earth and its civilization. Finally, ICARUS would be Weird, due to their unorthodox methods and tactics. Humans are pretty wild and unpredictable anyways, and with their organization being a semi-secret state-run institution that's often at a technological or numerical disadvantage compared to other space-faring species, they tend to look at a variety of different ways to conduct operations and combat potential threats to their world.

[The Palmetto]

Oh, I guess I can pick another trait. I guess they'd be paranoid, seeing as they've been living in an isolated corner of the galaxy with the empire breathing down their neck for decades, always preparing for the final battle to protect their nation. Luckily for them, it was mostly occasional skirmishes, and the Empire fractured. Still, likely worried about the New Republic a bit, due to being Separatist-wannabes and fearing a possible invasion by the NR.

Kinda interesting that our factions share three traits, now four, Crow. It'll be interesting to see the two groups interact in SOTE.

Yeah it is interesting how they share four traits. However considering AEGIS views themselves as the first and last line of defense for humanity against supernatural threats means they need to do everything to ensure humanity is safe. Look at those and them having some similarities was bound to happen.

[The Palmetto]

Yeah, it's the VCIS against the Empire and AEGIS against the supernatural. With the knowledge of dark, ancient gods, I'm sure the VCIS is more than happy to have more mortal enemies to deal with.

[Leaniz]

I've been trying to think of a way to rewrite Lukaes' story so that it fits in the Shadows arc, anyone have ideas?

[Naval Monte]

I've been trying to think of a way to rewrite Lukaes' story so that it fits in the Shadows arc, anyone have ideas?

You don't need to rewrite it to fit since he won't be in the Star Wars verse.

[Leaniz]

I've been trying to think of a way to rewrite Lukaes' story so that it fits in the Shadows arc, anyone have ideas?

You don't need to rewrite it to fit since he won't be in the Star Wars verse.

So he just works as is?

[Naval Monte]

You don't need to rewrite it to fit since he won't be in the Star Wars verse.

So he just works as is?

Well he would have a hard time in a war zone but one doesn't need to be a soldier fighting on the front line to be in the military. Though you can still have him join another arc if you don't feel so site on Shadow

[Naval Monte]

I just realize that due to AEGIS's history they might have paranoid and slippery as free aspects which means ruthless and adaptive can be added in.

[Leaniz]

So he just works as is?

Well he would have a hard time in a war zone but one doesn't need to be a soldier fighting on the front line to be in the military. Though you can still have him join another arc if you don't feel so site on Shadow

So should I go back to having him be the first character in an arc I create?

[Naval Monte]

I mean you can do that or have him be in another arc. There is I-Fel and DMP.

[Skylus]

I have an arc that's going to start up eventually, if you're interested.

[Naval Monte]

Another question for factions using that same quest this time directed at their military, mainly on the type of troopers and style of warfare. Note that not picking a form of warfare gives you the generalist style by default.

Military Organization

For AEGIS the fact they are a secret group means that swarm warfare is out but the enemies they face pretty much means that asymmetric warfare won't do them any favors for long. Therefore I can see them using their limited resources and pushing them to their very best.

So Elite/Universal, that fits them.

However I will like to add that due to Moble Specialized Teams and Agent Cells individual members aren't alone and one soldier can prioritize a role over others. Actually the squad dynamic reminds me of the Clone Troopers now. Do I need to make a new type of warfare for AEGIS?

---

I actually forgot about the Celestial Order, time to correct that.

For Government the CO would probably fit as an Oligrarchical Confederation. The former aspect die to the Grand Masters ruling the Order and the latter because the Order is basically a network of independent actors, cabals and sects made by the Order, and cults, secret societies, and ancient bloodlines who pledged allegiance to the Order.

They would have the Paranoid and Slippery traits as historical bonuses like AEGIS. They would have Curious as they are known for being the scholars of the occult. They are Conservative as they have a lot of old traditions, rites, and hierarchies to go through. They are Spiritual too because they still hold mystical and metaphysical attitudes towards the paranormal while also trying to keep a scientific mind on their studies. They would be Cultured because not only are there powerful and wealthy families and groups on the Order but them being composed of intellectuals and philosophers would mean that writers and artists would be drawn in, especially those related to the anomalous art scene. I would put Weird as the final trait because of their very nature.

For Military still deciding on that. I think we can safely say that the Celestial Order is the excat opposite to AEGIS baring from three traits. Working with the CO was harder because unlike AEGIS who had the quasi nation state vibe the CO was more of your classical secret society.

EDIT: for Military I would go for the same style AEGIS has.

[Leaniz]

So should I go back to having him be the first character in an arc I create?

I have an arc that's going to start up eventually, if you're interested.

I'm interested. Just let me know when it starts and I'll work more on getting my app accepted.

Brief Bio/History*: Lucas was born a fraternal twin to his slightly older brother Claus in the village of Tazmily. Their mother Hinawa, was very loving and caring, and showered them in love and affection. Their father, Clint, was the closest thing to a sheriff the village had. He was always busy with village matters, but still came home as a loving father each day. This changed after a horrible accident struck the village of Tazmily. A forest fire burned down the trees around the village. Hinawa, who was coming back from a trip to her father's house with Claus and Lucas, was lost in the fire. Clint searched through the burning woods for them, but only found the dead body of his wife, and his crying son Lucas.

Years pass from this event, Clint began to go out more and more, desperately searching for Claus. Leaving Lucas to mostly fend for himself in the rapidly changing village of Tazmily. Setting out on his own one day, Lucas had a fateful encounter with the Magypsy Ionia, who saw the Psychic potential in Lucas and awakened latent power within him. Using this power Lucas began to fight the corrupt and evil New Pork Empire, and assembled a group of friends to fight against them. After several adventures around the world, Lucas learned of the existence of the Dark Dragon, sealed away by the Seven Needles stuck in it's body. He was tasked by the Magyspsies to pull each of these Needles, as the Dragon was said to awaken, and for each Needle pulled it's heart would become pure if the puller was also pure of heart. Lucas and his gang of friends set out across the world doing just that, until eventually reaching the seventh and last Needle. Claus, who had been found years ago by the Pork Empire, had been re-purposed into a PSI weapon and had been harassing and fighting Lucas's group throughout their adventure. Lucas was forced to defeat and free his brother's soul, at the cost of Claus's life.

Peace returned to the Earth, and to the village of Tazmily. Lucas has grown up a bit from his adventure, but still has much to learn...
Brief Personality Description*: Lucas can be timid at times, he was always a quiet boy, and although he finds many situations intimidating. He's never given up on anything he's set his sights on.
