Vim: Tales from Lumina (Fantasy/Arcanepunk/OOC)

[Britanania]

-Snip-

Oh, I wasn't worried about that. A lot of familiar names here. And I will checkout the discord, I was in it a long time ago, so I'm not sure if I have to rejoin or not. Also, what I meant is, I post very infrequently, so I was hoping to avoid getting others characters caught up in interactions that take a while to resolve, as the IC's pace seems to be fast than what I'm used to

Edit: The discord link in the OP no longer works

It's really not as fast as you might think, but here's the link https://discord.gg/nDt6hG

EDIT: And the site fixes the issue. Making my earlier statement false.

Thanks mate. Naval and I happen to be old friends, so I do at least know a bit about what to expect haha.

Have you got a link to the discord?

[Demincia]

Have you got a link to the discord?

yea, (from the OP)

The storm from my end knock over power lines so my presence in Discord is gone and my activity in here is reduced. Sorry guys.

You can try to contact me in here and I will try to post stuff but no promise on how active I will be until the power is back. I don't know when that will be.

[Naval Monte]

I got more info on my predicament. The blackout only affects my area. Family friends and relatives close by are immune. I may go to them to stay until the incident passes by.

Well that’s a wreck. I’ll pray that your power gets restored soon. I know the feel of losing power for several days due to a hurricane. Stay safe, don’t go outside and touch any downed lines, and hold onto the hurricane food in the pantry!

Late on saying this but I moved to relatives to stay until the power comes back because it turns out the damage down would take longer to fix. But another reason was because a good deal of the food actually began to rot due to the humidity and heat on the first day. I had to take the food that didn't rot with me to save it. Needless to say my house hold was not prepared for it.

Do you have enough food right now? Hold onto those non-perishables, they are lifesavers.

Me and my sister took a few stuff but our relatives have plenty of food because they were spared from the Blackout. Their area has less trees to knock over powerlines.

I will post something in here soon. Just waiting for some other replies first.

I may post more lore info later but for now I will wait for any questions on what I posted. Before anyone ask, no. You can't reverse time and travel backwards to shag your grandmother and kill your grandfather. That is rumored to be something the Old Magic could have done. This one is more of slowing down time to a crawl and accelerating it.

How Active Are you on NS: pretty active and attempt to go on at least once a day
Nation History: One of the splinter nations formed from the Cadian Empire, Mordka was once an independent and thriving kingdom run by the Mordon Dynasty, but when the Cadians invaded, it became annexed and the royal family went into hiding. The Sacred Ecclesiarchy of Una proceeded to enforce their beliefs onto the population, and foreign races came to populate it and mine it's resources. But when the empire began to crumble, the Mordons raised an army and took back the kingdom. For years a dark age consumed the kingdom as the Mordons ruled it with an iron fist as they unCadia Mordka, which resulted in a purge on non-humans, and the Ecclesiarchy in the kingdom. The discovery of Vim sealed the Mordon's fate. Always against magic of any kind, the Mordons declared it's possession of any kind, on the threat of death. The military secretly used it to create new weapons and technology, and after a coup took over the kingdom and drove the Mordons into hiding once more. A military government was set up and the Mordkan Republic was declared. The Republic began to modernise the newly formed nation into a technological power, and is currently built up it's military to began a conquest of Adra.
Description of Nation: Mordka is covered in big mines that cover the landscape as millions are send down as forced labour as a punishment for minor crimes, Non-human life is banned and any found are usually killed on sight, military service is compulsory for males at 18 and are required to serve for 12 years in the military, factories produce anything the nation needs but is polluting it in the process, propaganda is regularly broadcasts by the loudspeakers, and security cameras view every moment of there citizens to react quicker to dissent, magic of any kind is also banned as well as the possession of Vim outside of the state.
Relationship with other Nations: The Republic like it's predecessor has maintained an isolationist policy with it's neighbours, but it's military build-up is for preparing for expansion, Mordka has always distrust the Pontifical State, and if the conquest starts, then it would be the toughest opponent to the conquest.
How you fit into the world: Kind of like a mix between Nazi Germany, The Empire of the Isles in Dishonored, and a more totalitarian Terran Federation in Starship Troopers.

Right. The amount of people on your nation is far to large because the world's population is no where close to having something above 10 billion. Did you perhaps mean 10 million? Also mobilizing 60 percent of your population into the military will cripple your economy. For example, At the height of WWII, the US only mobilised 9% of its population to serve in the military. Likewise, Nazi Germany was able to mobilise 31% of its population. Also 12 years is a bit much as even Imperial Japan kept their conscription at four years.

How Active Are you on NS: pretty active and attempt to go on at least once a day
Nation History: before the discovery of Vim, Mordka was ruled by the Mordon Dynasty of kings who ruled Mordka with an iron fist, but when Vim was discovered, The king wanted it to be destroyed, fearing that it would be their end, but the military started researching it and started incorporating it into new weapons, and after a coup, took over Mordka and founded the Mordkan Republic.
Description of Nation: a fairly large nation, Mordka is made up of boiling deserts with hostile wildlife and walled-in cities, big mines cover the landscape as millions are send down as forced labour as a punishment for minor crimes, Non-human life is banned and any found are usually killed on sight, military service is compulsory for males at 18 and are required to serve for 12 years in the military, factories produce anything the nation needs but is polluting it in the process, propaganda is regularly broadcasts by the loudspeakers, and security cameras view every moment of there citizens to react quicker to dissent.

Seems Naval got to this first.

Aside from the stuff he mentioned, I think the history of the nation could be a little longer, and there are other nations of course on Arda (I assume that's where Mordka is located) so maybe including its relations with other powers would be nice. If you need help with any of the lore bits, feel free to DM me.
