Vapor: A Steampunk RP Region (OOC v. 2.0 -- CLOSED)

[Wirbel]

The Kaiser looks a bit like this. Try to guess who it is in RL without looking at the URL.

Panda

[Vitzenburg]

My guess was.... totally off.

[Sri Tschow]

Otto von Bismarck?

[Wirbel]

Otto von Bismarck?

Close. He is a German leader.

[Sri Tschow]

President Hindenburg?

[Fanaglia]

Hey, he may be old and religious, but he's smart and cunning too. Don't worry, I'll kill him off before long (he's like 60 something anyway).

Also, just going to wait for Inoroth before I make a post.

Lol, k.

When it was easier to spell and had a better ring to it than "Republic of New Voerdeland." Plus, why not? A lot of places IRL take their names from Latin. Look at "America," named after the feminized Latin form of Amerigo Vespucci (Americus Vespucius), who was falsely credited with discovering the New World by Martin Waldseemüller, the first cartographer to produce a map of the world that included the New World.

That makes sense because the Europeans ignored & erased much of native American history.

The only way Nova Voerda would make sense would be if an Amplectorian decided that Voerderland needed a rename.

Actually, after thumbing through Voerdeland's factbook and other posts on NS, I've gathered that his culture is fairly European -- sort of Anglo-Russian. Another reason I chose to go with the Latin. Also, don't forget that Nova Voerda was essentially established, or at least prodded into existence, by Fanaglian meddlers.

ARRRGH!!! Something is wrong with my Image Shack Account! Now I can's post the Newspaper Articles I have spent hours writing onto Vordenland... WHY? WHYYYYYYYYYYY?

Imgur.

This. Or PhotoBucket. Or just create a second Imageshack account (sometimes it'll get glitchy if your account uses too much bandwidth).

Wow...nobody posted on this the entire day...lets do another "Cyprum Xecuii asks questions about your people" thing again. Lets see hmmm......Oh!

How about:


What are you main characters in the vapor RPs and what are they like? (personally wise and their relations to others and such) Of course pictures would be nice; no need to draw or MS paint some person (unless you wanna), just a random picture on google images or meh will do.


you don't have to post all the characters from every RP, you don't have to post a big description, and you don't even have to post if you don't want to.

Just wanna keep this going...

RR Conference Characters:

Young and brash. Led a violent military coup against her father in 1874. Loved by most of her people, though there is some dissent from the more conservative populations in the north. Prefers to speak what's on her mind, sometimes without first thinking it through. Often depends on Miss Alans, her closest friend and most trusted adviser, to keep her mouth from getting her in trouble. Drink of choice: Johnny Walker Black Label.

Reign: Since 8 November, 1874 (11 years)
Coronation: 6 September, 1876
Predecessor: DiMarco
Heir Apparent: None
Father: DiMarco
Mother: Anita DiTicciano
Born: 22 October, 1854 (Aged 30)
Religion: Rothan Catholic

Chief of the Fanaglian Department of Agriculture, though her position nowadays has more to do with diplomatic relations than agriculture. Childhood friend of Queen Autumn, whom she still considers to be almost like a little sister to her, feeling a sort of duty to keep the young queen out of trouble. Often quiet, she is very calm and calculating, possessing an almost encyclopedic mind with regards to foreign nations, their leaders, their economics, and their cultures.

Born: 5 May, 1851 (Aged 34)
Religion: Rothan Catholic

Served under Captain Prospero in the Great Coup and led his crew to the end of the war following his death. Promoted to Captain of the Queen's Guard following the end of the war. Has grown to become close friends with her over the years and his instincts are well-trusted by the queen. Once rather shy in the company of foreign dignitaries, Queen Autumn's insistence on including him, as well as a romantic relationship with Analise Verouche, the empress of Patisserie-Goulash, has forced him to become more comfortable with time. His position these days is now more one of diplomacy than security, though his loyalty and sense of duty remains powerful. He would gladly die if it meant saving Her Majesty.

Born: 20 March, 1849 (Aged 36)
Years of Service: Royal Air Service (1868-1870), Fanaglian Revolutionary Alliance (1870-1873), Queen's Guard (1873-present)

Little is known of this shadowy figure, other than that he controls the enigmatic Black Shield organization, of which equally little is known. Is always seen wearing a mask. There is some conjecture that he may not exist at all, or that he is actually several people working together. Whoever he is, he is a man of great wealth and influence, with much of the most state-of-the-art technology in the world at his disposal, as well as what amounts to a small, private army.

Born: Unknown

She was born the daughter of a wealthy Cadwal merchant in 1852. When the war broke out in 1872, she left against her parents' wishes to join the resistance in Pisiano led by Princess Autumn. Shortly after arriving in Pisiano, she received word that her parents had fled to Dehui, wanted by King DiMarco's Secret du Roi. Rushing to the then-obscure island colony, she discovered her father's dirigible moored in Quesani, but no trace of her family. After the war ended, she remained in Dehui, searching out any former members of DiMarco's Secret du Roi, to make them pay. Her search led her to the dark underbelly of Dehui's criminal world, where she made her way as a mercenary and pirate. Her growing reputation as a feared pirate of the skies together with her wealthy background left her in a position to bargain with Governor Allan, which in turn gave her a great amount of power, which she used to declare herself the "Pirate Queen of Dehui."

In 1883, Governor Allan was found murdered by Beaumont and her pirates for refusing to play by her rules. She proceeded to then assert legal authority over the island and independence from the Kingdom. Queen Autumn responded by dispatching an RAS fleet to deal with her band of brigands. Beaumont and her pirates were defeated, she was captured, and was sentenced to death. Unbeknownst to Queen Autumn, her execution order was not carried out and Jacqueline Beaumont was instead secretly locked up in Kraftenberg Maximum Security Prison until her covert release in the winter of 1889 by Black Shield agents.

Born: 29 August, 1852 (Aged 34)
Religion: Agnostic

Born to a poor family of cabbage farmers in central Voerdeland, south of the village of Pefalls, poverty became an intimate part of his life. When his mother fell ill, he joined the Voerdish army out of desperation in 1873 to try to raise money for her medical expenses. Despite his efforts, she died in the winter of 1874. While in the service, he witnessed that the poverty he and his family experienced was not unique to them, but a problem nearly universal throughout the nation. When he was discharged from the service, he ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the Voerdish Congress -- his defeats he blamed on corruption in the system. When the Voerdish Revolution began in 1889, he was eager for the chance to "level the playing field," rallying as many friends, family, and strangers as he could to join the cause. He was elected to serve as the interim president of the newly-established Republic of Nova Roma on 24 November, 1890.

Born: 6 January, 1853 (Aged 33)
Elected: 24 November, 1890
Years of service: Voerdish Army (1873-1879)
Religion: Mishmahigan Christian

It's more the 'I'm not in the workforce like you, I've killed myself and took too many AP classes for me to handle' Plague.

Just wondering- but if you get Jewish holidays off then...

Nope, Asian American (just had to say it to make sure you know I'm not from there heh) in the United States. It's just that the Jewish community is strong in america so we get that day off and they get their holiday. I'm Buddhist...Ideology wise, not religiously.

[Vitzenburg]

In all my years of schooling in Amurica, I've never had any type of jewish holiday get me out of the institution XD

[Cyprum Xecuii]

The Jewish community is huge where I'm at, most of them go to our schools so if they celebrate the holiday, the amount of kids going to school dips so they have to make it a full day off. (Montgomery County Maryland). If you were an Islamic extremist, the first place you'd want to cause havoc is here.

[Vitzenburg]

Welp, thankfully I'm not XD

[Inoroth]

Just read your post on the OOC: No ETA shall be given until further notice!

[Vitzenburg]

[Cyprum Xecuii]

Damn, I've made only one tiny insignificant post on the V-land thread. You guys need to lower your standards of posts :l

Sorry about that.

[Vitzenburg]

OUr posts should be so detailed now, it should take real time to go through days and weeks

Okay, so my first message is backdated. How long does it take ships/airships to travel lengthy distances---for example, from Mishmahig to Voerdeland?

[Inoroth]

@Vitz - I am taking forever, but I have almost no time to devote to an incredibly long and complex idea... maybe I'll just have to (gasp) cut it into shorter posts like Fan

Fear not. Plenty of time.

Operation Omega is about to begin.
