The Coup of Coins
15th of January, 2019.
All is well in Brillemea. The elections have passed, and although there was violence and uproar, it appears to have been stopped. The President, Joseph MacGarren and his socialist party have made an alliance with the political centre and the moderate left, and attempts to kickstart an effective Brillemean Defence Force have been enacted, but collide with political interests of the centrists, who feel that military officers shouldn't be politized, while some of the Brillemean People's Party's representatives feel that army officers should be elected by their troops. Now, a group of militia leaders who've been trained by Limburgs legionairies are trying to enforce the law in the rousy rural areas, in which calvinist and reformed voters feel that the socialists have messed with the opinion results so that their favourite, Michael Gerrebrandt of the Patriotic Reformed League would lose. Most Limburgs forces have already left the island as part of their international agreement with Rhunnland and Oppermenia.
With Brillemea now left completely abandoned and the only form of a military being farmers with interbellum-styled equipment, Gerrebrandt felt that it was finally time to rise up against the oppressive government, just like Calvin used to preach. To finally retake the reins and actually lead the nation of Brillemea as a nation under God. To do this, he has two means. God and Gold. God, the shepard of his people and the motivating factor in most of the rural peasant's lives, will guide them to battle against the socialists, and will deliver them a grand victory. Gold, that he's received from foreign donators and farmers who liked him, will be invested into setting up calvinist international volunteer forces, who'll fight and die for Brillemea. His soldiers and mercenaries will wipe the Socialists off the face of the earth.
This coup/civil war is not your ordinary "Fly a bizarre number of soldiers into a troubled crisis area" RP. In this RP, you will assume the position of one character: of a mercenary hired by Gerrebrandt to fight against the legitimate Brillemean government. This will not be the Castro-like coup that most people know as "let's charge the palace, kill the dictator, and be done with it." This RP will mostly consist of serious combat against an ideologically strong enemy, who will not let foreign invaders take its land. Most of this RP will be combat.
Rules:
1. I am the OP, please respect my judgment and opinion.
2. All NS rules apply
3. There is no limit on the amount of soldiers you can control, but do please understand that there is an emphasis on character gameplay, not on group controlling a group or a nation or anything like that.
4. No Godmodding, please.
5. Players are to respect one another. I reserve the right to terminate your position in this RP if I feel that you're being disrespectful/agressive/nasty.
6. I'll try to be very strict when it comes to enforcing PM/PMT. I don't want to see any lightsaber-wielding soldiers.
Now, let's get to signing up. To sign up, you will have to create a character that's eligible to fight among the volunteers. Gerrebrandt is looking for young calvinist males who possibly have some connection to Brillemea, but most other volunteers are accepted. Catholics and leftists will fall out of line, though, and might be rejected due to IC reasons.
There's three units that've been set up to fight alongside other non-conventional militia forces.
