The Taleo-Zarithian War(FT, OOC and Sign-Up)

[Equalsun Empire]

It lives. Zara and I simply work at our own glacial pace due to school and work. I blame trolls, officially.

I suppose you could call it a Glacies-al pace? *badum-cha*

I might keep the Shan, or I may reapply for some weird cuttlefish aliens.

Or you could not reapply at all and GET OUT.

Just kidding, we like people here

[Zarathoft]

Whoa, I'm surprised to see the sudden resurgence by the other members. I thought for sure it was just going to be myself and Taledonia going back and forth at our extremely leisurely pace. Sorry I missed the excitement with the holiday weekend (if you're in the US), I have some school stuff to complete, but I'll focus on putting a post up shortly.

[Taledonia]

And by school stuff you mean hitting on coffee shop girls.

[The Imperial Frost Federation]

Are applications still open? If so, I will post up an application in a few hours

[Taledonia]

Really depends on your application. If it's something creative, sure. If you're just a national body poking it's nose in, not so much.

[The Imperial Frost Federation]

Main Characters:
1. Rear Admiral Erza Ryder, Captain of the Titania, Resident Merchant of Titania
2. AI of Titania; Mavis
3. Captain Bartholomew Hook, Captain of the Heartless Creed
4. AI of Heartless Creed; Palpatine
5. Captain James Rogers, Captain of the Endurance
6. AI of Endurance; Schmee
7. Various junior officers of the 3 vessels and various ODST IPL mercenaries.

Allegiance: The Imperial Frost Federation, Frost Space Navy, Imperial Phantom Legion (A mercenary force trained by the IFF government and are contracted by foreign states as a private army.)

Siding with: None at the beginning. May join or temporarily assist either Taledonia or Zarathoft for a profit by selling arms or offering their services as blockade runner or blockade hunters. They will also join a faction for Iridonium, a rare metal that can be harnessed to travel in between dimensions when in a liquid form. Iridonium is found only on ice planets and resembles oil.

Motivation: The IFF Titania was on her maiden voyage testing the new Iridonium based Remus-Yutani interdimensional slip space engine, when a malfunction in the navicomputer led to a random dimensional slip space jump to the Alivant star system instead of the intended destination of the Eridani System. The original intent of the Titania was to explore the Eridani system, establish contact with friendly civilization and engage in trading arms and supplies. However, after the malfunction, the Iridonium containment cell broke following an emergency exit of the slip space jump at the edge of the Nevara Asteroid belt. The destruction of the containment cell led to the evaporation of the rare liquid mineral leaving the crew of the Titania stranded in the Alivant system with 2 escort destroyers that refuse to leave behind the Titania for fear of it being assaulted and overwhelmed by one of the warring parties. The Titania and her 2 escort ships, must repair the containment cell and harvest the necessary liquid Iridonium if they are to return home to the 15th Sol system. The crew of the Titania have little choice but to change the parameters of their mission and engage in trade in the Alivant system, offering their services as arms traders, and mercenaries to the highest bidder with access to Iridonium.

The Titania will act as a mobile base of operations/shop for my characters as they undertake various odd jobs like using the freighter to send supplies to Taledonia while evading Zarithian planetary guns or raiding Taledonian convoy ships on behalf of Zarathoft, or selling kinetic arms (artillery, tanks, technical, rifles, grenades, other small arms) to either faction. The 2 destroyers are there to protect the Titania from space pirates or “unsatisfied” consumers.

'Spose you missed the part where I said "If you're just a national body poking it's nose in, not so much." We're not looking for anything that can alter events drastically at this stage, but rather only characters that could add dimension to the story. As such, I must deny your application. If you'd like to try again, feel free.

For both yourself and Lemunaria, here are some potential options that we would accept. If you have other similar ideas, you can apply with them, but this is the gist of what we'd accept at this stage:

- Merchants with balls looking to make a buck in the warzone
- Citizens who happened to be on vacation in the Alivant(for whatever reason), or for some reason have found themselves stuck in the Alivant and have to make due. Most probably stuck on Roth Glacis and either drafted into the Taledonian kitchens and support roles, or into some role over in Zarathoft's camp.(If you're a female character, and enjoy risque themes, perhaps you're a pretty girl who got abducted and turned into a "priestess", which is a glorified sex slave as I understand it.)
- Mercenary captain, either land or with a ship, fighting for one side or the other.
- Priest of a religion, here to try to preach brotherly love, or convert people and promise them peace in religion, or attempting to whip up blood lust for the Blood God
- News team, trying to get a great story by getting in everyone's way to film during combat
- Someone with a ship, willing to ferry people to other places to get away from the war
- A refugee, trying to get away from the war and attempting to get transport with someone with a ship

Things like that.

EDIT: Though if you really must be representatives of your nation, we would accept you sending trainers to help the militias and rabble of the Misghganis. Or diplomats attempting to curry favour with Taledonia seeing as how they might turn into an empire if they win.

I actually had plans to use a rogue group of units from my nations. Executioners turned Mercenaries . Though I'm not exactly sure how I'm gonna go about this. I have a basic idea of what their resources are. I know they stole some[and/or a single] 'top secret' ship(s) when they deserted - along with a decent amount of weaponry. Since then they've sorta been moving along space fighting for the highest bidder. They've also been recruiting, so they'd be a force of like 50 dudes. I'm not so sure about the last part..cause then I have to start writing unnecessary things. Since this is character driven I can't send in squads of mercs and stuff - so adding that would be pointless I guess. Uh. I kinda forgot where I was going with this..

But yeah, I'll go with the merc group thing.

[The Imperial Frost Federation]

They're government arms traders out to make a buck. the capital ships are just to protect the main ship from either side that wants to steal the goods.

I think you misread the motivation and got caught up with their ranks on the bios. They were originally meant to trade in another system, but their prototype engine went haywire sending them to the Alivant system. The engine broke so they're stuck there and want to make the most of their time making money until the engines are fixed. Also most of the action will probably be from the ferries moving weapons anyways.

Also my country does not have a private arms industry, so unfortunately we don't have a private company that could trade with either faction.

[Lemunaria]

Main Characters:

Proof of Quality:
There hasn't exactly been a lot of RPs I've been part of recently - save for one. Which I warn was made by me and a friend specifically to dick around - but still showcases a small bit of my RPing skill.
An Era of Destruction and Darkness

Theres also an RP I made myself a while back, which I'm sad didn't last longer.
The Era of Expansion
I've linked the last page because that showcases probably some of my best work I think.


NOTE: Not so sure about the ship part - so I need some input on that.

[Equalsun Empire]

Ah, Era of Expansion... I remember that RP. Last time I used the revamped Eldar before switching to the Navitas. Good times, good times...

Yes, its a shame it died so quickly - I really liked that one.

[Raktio]

Suppose I could stick in a few Rakton ships, anything needed in particular right now?

I can do anything (as Raktio, thoguh I could make up another nation) aside from basically being ground forces since Raktio doesn't do much on planets aside from using them as resources to be mined.

[Zarathoft]

Raktio, feel free to post an app if you have some ideas. As Taledonia has stated previously, the main thing we don't want are national assets attempting to establish some sort of national interest in the war for the time being. As for the other two apps that were just recently posted, Tal and I have been on kind of opposite schedules and haven't had much opportunity to discuss them, but both are considered open/pending.

[Zarathoft]

I hope all you lads, and/or lasses, had a nice holidays. I'm just beginning to get back into the swing of things myself and will be posting shortly. Happy Belated Holidays all!

[Equalsun Empire]

Merry Christmas to you too! That'll be an excellent late Christmas present

[The Imperial Frost Federation]

So black ops government arms traders are no good?

[Taledonia]

I'm afraid we must denyt your application, Frost Federation. Being aligned to a government brings too much risk into the equation.

Gogol, on the other hand, feel free to post.

I myself have been waiting for Zarathoft to post, but he's a wanker, and so I'll get something up this weekend.

[Equalsun Empire]

Darnit Zarathroft, making us wait an entire year for a post! How dare you!

Very, very late happy new years, everyone

[Zarathoft]

My goodness yes, I am a terrible person I daresay! Throw me in the stocks and strike me with projectiles of lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes and other assorted fruit and vegetables. May I be as bold to say that I hope it rains a terribly cold drizzle upon me while I am in there as well. We can't have my time in there be too pedestrian now can we?

That said, sincere apologizes, again, my real life is an odd specimen with bursts of unexpected social obligations and activity. Post up shortly, as in by tomorrow, or we can remove my right pinky finger from my hand.
