FAR II [FT Galaxy/Community][Open to Applications]

[Nore Empire]

Yeah, but with less authority, unless it's members want it to have authority, in which case we can consider it. It'd start as more of a super-embassy for all our ambassadors.



This is why I object to your application, you've been annoying the Council members with your insistent harping. Please, a little dignity will go a long way to your application being accepted.

Ah, objection for an invalid reason that you should be above...someone being annoying.

Ah, objection for an invalid reason that you should be above...someone being annoying. Mods in forum RPs have had their Mod power stripped away because of things like this. It usually turns into some useless argument between two people that ends in banning, warnings, loss of respect, and utter hatred and dislike between two people both of them trying to do everything they can to antagonize someone.

I have no desire to engage in some kind of vendetta with you, though your being annoying is a perfectly good reason for not accepting someone into a private RP group, which this is. This is a group of individuals who've formed an RP-group, they have a prerogative to decide who's in and who's not, technically they may with complete justice deny an application for no reason, however I believe they're probably nice people so they don't do that.

I just realized - We're missing a member of the council. Prem resigned.

I missed out on an entire conversation... Sorry 'bout that.

What are the prerequisites for nomination to the council?

Sorry I haven't been active, my hands have been pretty full.

No. They do not. They have the right to decide but they should be far above that and not act like children simply because someone is annoying. I will not be continuing this conversation any longer. I have to go read FAR Wiki.

Actually, looking at somebodies OOC personality and their attitudes can be a big factor in deciding whether or not to approve someone for a group based around OOC interaction as much as IC RPing.

[The Nuclear Fist]

You sound very offended, mister I'm adaptable against everything

Pfft, adaption is for cowards. A real man will meet his foes in battle, lance and shield in hand, and he won't run and change to fit his enemy, like some petty woman. /Helasianlogic

Alright, my last exam will be finished on Tuesday, but before that, I have three free days, except for tomorrow, where I have two exams. After that, on Friday, I may set up a global council thread. By that, I mean the Transoxthraxians will call in races they're interested in, and they will meet, and discuss diplomacy. I'm announcing this today to let all of you know this. It will be invite only, as the Transoxthraxians are generally considered to hate most of the galaxy.

I am interested. Hope the Transoxthraxians are interested in the Confederacy. Our races have technically met. But the thread has been rather slow.

Very interested, especially since it will be a relatively easy way to get involved in FAR.

Nore's App

Basic Information:

Civilization Name: Nore Empire
Denonym: Nores
Civilization Age: Over 60,000 years[30,000 years to get to FTL-tech 30,000 years of FTL tech]
Government type: Monarchy
Home/Capital planet: Nae
Government Information: The Nore Empire has several branches, the main ruling branch which has absolute power over all other branches and its respective charge[which is just general and includes military & science-based education], the Research & Development sector, which is obviously in charge of technology, then there is the branch for advanced military and science-based training, the main ruling branch only taking care of basics and slightly above basic education, it is obvious what that watches over, and countless other branches for each sector of the government. The system of which it is made of is very complicated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technology & Military

Military Doctrine: The Military Doctrine is built upon strict rules regarding first contacts[which is where it crosses over with Foreign policy], exploration[crossing over with Foreign policy again], and conquering other races. They will only conquer a race if they provoke or attack the Nore people first, after a war the will begin to inhabit their worlds and kill off their current leaders, replacing them with controllable clones under the direct control of the Hive Mind that will soon circle around the planet. All ships are required to enter into a type of Hive Mind, individual yet linked into a "central brain" or thought process that will act as an early warning system in case they spot something multiple times[such as a barely noticable speck on their sensors] or there are invaders on the ship.
Foreign policy: Relations with outsiders are watched intensly and the Nores are always ready to strike and take over any planet, system or government that would dear insult their honor or the Nores themselves or assault them in any way or even play a simple trick on them and kill their leaders. First contacts are managed carefully as is exploration, they will always terraform any planet, moon, astroid[they have technology to put it into a stable orbit]
Technological Age: Many, many years
FTL Age: Over 30,000 years, far over, due to the ruins of another species on their planet
Military Information: From their Hyperspace tractor beams to the technology taken from The Borg, they have a large space military and massive amounts of forces on each and every planet and base they are an extremely capable and adaptable people, their adaptability on land going over to their adaptability in space, like with adaptable shielding[taken from the Borg centuries ago, LITERALLY taken and reverse-engineered], transforming metal hulls[I got this from a book I read a while back, not sure what it was...might have been about Transformers O.O'), adaptable metal hulls, and several other technologies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Species, Culture, & Society

Population:Around 8 billion in each system,
Founding Species: Nore
Other Species: Nore sub-races, that merged with the Nore after they were assimilated into the Empire
Sphere of Influence Size: A little beyond their territory size
Major Civilian industries/Services: Science[general], manufacturing.
Society and Cultural information: Their culture is one built upon chivalry, honor, war, science, and mastering the knowledge of the universe. Their culture is one of scholarly warriors. Our culture is one that is united, intelligent, honorable, and brave. We wish to learn and to give others our knowledge. We wish to have a many great planets whether we gain those by terraforming or conquering. We wish to have a many great lands and people in our race, lead by our sword[essentially a light saber]. We are The Nore, a great people, but not yet the greatest, but we soon will be, we are united!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC information

NS activity: Extremely active
Technological Bases:Original, Star Wars, Halo, WH40K, Star Gate, Star Trek, dozens/all of the other Sci-Fi shows, FT, PMT, MT
Prior RP links:

Clash of the Multiverse

Summary of your nation: My nation is full of a proud, intelligent, honorable people. They are adaptable and they are salvagers, taking what ever they can from a battle whether it be experience, new tactics[gained by scanning everything with their A.I. and Hive Mind], or new technologies. They are proud to the point of arrogance, yet they do not go over the line and say they are better because they want to learn, they want allies, they want power, they want knowledge. They are extremely intelligent and they know this, they are capable of deciphering the unknown in mere days and capable of developing scientifically ground breaking technologies if they put their mind to it. They are a compassionate people, able to literally make their emotions show along with the energy in an area. My nation is made up of honorable people who will not kill children, who will give(or not give) mercy, who are great in mind as well as in body, who will help the elderly(of course not of their own race, there are none of those) across the street. This is what makes my nation great, this is what makes us proud, this is what makes us strong, this is what makes us honorable. We are The Nores, do not cross us for we are stronger than you.
Sum up your nation and government in a few sentences: My nation and government are adaptable and honorable. They are focused on science, exploration, and conquest and will not let anyone get in their way, though they will handle situations with honor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Territory:

Map Claim: The Nore Empire
Desired Main Color: Purple
Coordinates: Q, 29, just go outward from this
Desired Number of Hexes: 15, if that is too much, 14, if that is too much, 13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Species Information

Species name: Nore, named after the first of their species
Respiratory Gas: They do not need to breath, though they still have lungs and if they are exposed to poisonous gases or air-borne disease and decide to breath for meditation or to calm themselves[breathing is important in their culture as it helps calm their age, to meditate, and to think(which is what they do while meditating) all of which are huge parts of their culture) they will be affected by it, and die if it is lethal
Base Form: Humanoid, though they can change this at any time
Life span: Unable to die from age or disease, and can take any age due to their shape-shifting capabilities
Intelligence: 10
Natural defenses/abilities: Average members are always far above peak human physical condition, which is the standard by which they measure themselves. Psionic capabilities including a wide array of mental abilities[IE: Telekinesis, on a wide array of varying scales]. Capable of being in extreme environments, such as space, due to the genetic modifications on the race as a whole centuries ago, though while in space they may go into a trance-like state. an go for unnatural[for most races] periods of time without sustinance. Can adapt rapidly. Takes intelligence to an extreme. Take All have eidetic memories. All are capable of evolving themselves at a rapid pace. Can form a Hive Mind with their telepathic abilities, increasing intelligence and psionic capability overall. "Chamelon" skil that has evolved so far they are able to turn it off and on and it even matches the temperature and texture of the surrounding area, going with their extreme shape-shifting capabilities. They are capable of using something akin to The Force, specifically the dark side.It takes a lot of time and training to master the abilities of THe Nore, and to find the staggering weaknesses. There are few who exist that are able to use their shape-shifting capabilities to their fullest extent and even fewer who are master's of the Force AND of their shape-shifting abilities, less than 25 actually, those are the elite, and none will join their numbers for centuries, all of the less than 25 are hybrids and since there are only around 100 of those it will take a while before there is even a trained military of Hybrids, centuries in fact, they have already faced extinction three times.

The "Force": It takes training to use this and though all are sensitive to it not all are able to use it the way others do, some may not be able to train to use it, while others become great warriors. There are several force-resistant materials, the most prominent being Flowmetal[I thought it would be wise to read up on G-tech's tech and it was, he is able to combat my abilities on an extreme level >.>'...I will remove this if you want, G-tech.), though only one race is known to have this.
Aggression: 6/10. they have trouble suppressing their rage and disappointment in races at times
Information:

Includes clarification of abilities

There are two types of Nores, one has mental abilities, and one can shape-shift, both are equally intelligent and able to adapt[though it is arguable which one can adapt better with their respective abilities], and both have many, many sub-types that have portions of the abilities of the root race, there are also hybrids, though these are as rare as the sub-types which have just begun to pop up on different worlds after ages of living, evolving, and permanently adapting there, though they can switch back. The are a rage-filled people, though this has been suppressed by centuries of meditation and thinking. They appear human except for their white irises and pale skin(like the extremely human-appearing race on Defiance, the pale ones, Canthans, Cainthan, not sure], though their pale skin is barely so(like a black person that stays inside, AKA me), it is smooth, soft, and warm.

Weaknesses of Adaptable Shielding:

Well, let me show you the weaknesses. Our shields are energy based and they change frequency when they adapt, so something that could interfere with the change or a blast of weapons fire at the right time could stop the adaption or even damage the ship/shield generator or make the technology back fire and change to a frequency that actually makes their shields more vulnerable to that particular weapon. Our ships have shield generators put in sectors so it isn't one generator or even one shield, it is multiple shields put together so they would just have a weak spot in their shield, this was developed after a battle where the adaptable shielding tech's weaknesses were taken advantage of in an extreme way. All ships had to be replaced or modified extensivly and if they find a weakness to the current set up then they will have to put out a skeleton crew around important systems[very small] and every other system will be open to attack.

Either way, there is still a massive weakness if you take advantage of the weaknesses of the adaptable shielding tech.

Then if you watched Star Trek and saw my mentions of taking the Adaptable Shielding from the Borg[though we just made a lesser version] you would know its weakness, energy weapons that change frequency were used against The Borg to counteract their adaptable shielding. This can be used for personal shielding[still in development] as well. The tech wasn't ACTUALLY taken from The Borg, they don't exist here, I just mean the general idea.

Simply changing how fast your projectile weapons fire or what ammunition/projectile weapon you use could render the adaption useless and have to start the process all over again.

I am still on the fence. I have reviewed the app again and while I found some improvements. Like the Civilization age. Adding the dark side of the force really threw me back. I understand Nore pointed out it is very rare and very few use it but still. Its the Force. as much as I love Star Wars and all the things I would love to adopt from it the Force is at the top of the God Mod potential list. And the basic immortality while I am not a fan of I can safely assume it only applies to age and disease. So a bullet to the skull can kill I hope.

I am still willing to work with Nore on the app, as he sems to really want in but I will need to clear some things up or see if he will alter anything before I can cast a yes vote with full confidence.

I know I don't have a vote, but the immunity to disease thing is really bizarre and a bit OP to me.

I am interested. Hope the Transoxthraxians are interested in the Confederacy. Our races have technically met. But the thread has been rather slow.

I could remove the Force, since that and their Psionic capabilities...well...it's overkill. Either way, could I keep the Force and remove Psionic capabilities? My race's combat style is based largely around the force, and per 1 army/fleet there are usually 2 force-sensitive's[Master, Apprentice], so you won't have an army of them running around. Is there a way I could modify it yet still keep it, my whole culture, combat style, and a lot of my technologies are based upon the fact that my race is force-sensitive. If I remove that I will have to redo the entire application or find some way to use Psionics in my technology...okay, the last one doesn't sound too bad, such as psionic explosives that fire out solidified projectiles[Yes, like Crystalline tech >.>'], but the rest would just be overkill. Nore psionic capabilities are essentially a mega-version of the Nore version of the force, which is toned down extremely, there are also multiple things able to combat the force and lightsabers, which I use both. So, can I keep the force and remove the psionic capabilities? I will tone the force down even more, if necessary.

[Nore Empire]

Force Capabilities regarding the senses:

Force Powers

Nore Force users can use all of the Sense-related force powers, though apprentices can only use around half of those. Below is a list, and there is one in the link above as well[though it is just a list of force powers, look through that to see if they are too OPed], with specifications on who can use the power.

Force Listening-Master, Apprentice though the apprentice can only enhance their hearing and can't understand languages

Force Meld, Master

Force Sense---

Precognition--Members of the royal family[there are 4, as of now]

Battle precognition--High-tier masters[there are 12]

Shatterpoint--The Queen of the Nore[one]

Psychometry:--Court of Hearts[top tier masters, 12 people]

Force Empathy--masters

Farsight--Replaced by Precognition, no longer usable by the Nore race

Force Sight--masters, apprentices

Force Vision--Members of the royal family

Telepathy--only able to read minds, Masters
-Comprehend Speech, masters, apprentices

Shadow Vision--Royal family, Court of Hearts

Force Listening provides increased hearing capabilities--

Force Meld melds the mind of two force sensitive's to draw strength from each other, though after use they are exhausted which is why only Masters are capable of using it, and even then they are exhausted to the point of collapse

Precognition--already explained that they are ONLY able to get force visions through meditation[which can go on for hours or days] or through dreams about future events, not actions

Shatterpoint--I am removing this one

Psychometry--they are able to touch an item and learn its history, though with Nore the specifics are taken out and the ONLY piece of information they get from it is a face without a name, literally, this is only usable by 12 people after an edit

Farsight--didn't I take this out?

Force Sight--the ability to increase the clarity with which you physically see, the distance at which you see, the ability to see in low light, and overall it enhances the sense of sight

Force Vision--removed

Telepathy--ability to interact with another's mind--the Nore are only capable of communicating with consent
-Comprehend speech--ability to understand another person even if they are speaking in another language via a telepathic link

Shadow Vision--Users of the ability could use the Force to gain low-light vision, allowing them to ignore the concealment of others, specifically those rendered invisible. --Making this only usable by the royal family, they get this , maybe the queen, not sure

[The Nuclear Fist]

Nore, please explain what all those abilities actually do. If precognition is what I think it is, I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable with the idea of you literally being able to determine what others are going to do before they do it.

[The Rebel Alliances]

I wont promise the others will like it but I will work with you. But i am just one council member.

If you really want to keep the 'Force' you should remove the psionics. Like you suggested. But using the force means that all the other players have to accept its existence in some way even if they dont use it. So We need to clarify a few things.

First: What is the source of you particular 'Force'? I would recommend something that is unique to your species rather than the explanation used in Star Wars.

Second: We should clarify exactly what your force abilities can do. Because some force abilities are rather quite OP in any RP other than a Star Wars. And I believe you said it would be a toned down version. So we should clarify what and how it is toned down.

As for you list. Precognition and battle precognition strike me as a no. And some of these such as Force Meld and Psychometry I am unfamilier with.

I am not so big on Dark Side powers. More of a Jedi guy myself. So forgive my ignorance.

[Nore Empire]

And the basic immortality while I am not a fan of I can safely assume it only applies to age and disease.

I know I don't have a vote, but the immunity to disease thing is really bizarre and a bit OP to me.

Sorry for triple post, replying

How is it OP? Each individual cell of theirs acts as something that pushes out disease, it's hard to explain for me for some weird reason. There ARE ways they can be affected by it though, they have the capability to breath, and since that/meditation are a large part of their culture they can be affected by toxins and disease IF they decide to breath. If their lungs got punctured/eroded they would suffer and possibly die from it, because despite the need to breath not being necessary they are nearly identical to humans and it can and will affect them the same way it does humans.

[Nore Empire]

Nore, please explain what all those abilities actually do. If precognition is what I think it is, I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable with the idea of you literally being able to determine what others are going to do before they do it.

You should have read, there is a reason I posted a link, so I will not explain.

Again, only 4 people can use that ability and they CAN'T use it on people, they can only use it for events, such as deaths, wars, things like that, Battle Precognition[for them] is essentially something that can only be used in battle...yeah, I'm removing the last one, it is OPed >.>', it is essentially the normal version of precognition[not SW precognition] but just shitty and a dirty move.

[The Nuclear Fist]

You should have read, there is a reason I posted a link, so I will not explain.

I did read the fucking post, actually. You said the powers were toned down, so please go ahead and explain what the fuck they do now.

The Precognition is only usable by the royal family, which there is no way in hell you will have to fight unless your stupid enough to go to the capital, storm the heaviest guarded place you see, and if you somehow get in without dying and face the royal family will you ever meet one... They are unable to use it for battle, they cannot tell what people are going to do next[if they could I would have to ask and receive permission from a Council Member or the person RPing the character], they can only sense things such as events, they can tell the future but it takes meditation or a dream. Grr, can't explain...They can sense if a war is going to happen, if someone is going to die[though not always who], and it takes around an hour or sometimes a day of meditation to get details, so it can't be instant in any way...

I didn't say read the post, I said read what was inside of the link. It would help, then I could explain how they are different/less ridiculous and corny.
