An Interdimensional Incident (OOC, CLOSED)

[Mirum]

I am interested, I am just concerned about the use of the term FFT.

Is this some universal union type stuff from Half Life? Or are we t take that the invader already controls their own universe, which raises a whole lot of questions.

As Mirum has stated, they control one universe and have influence over others. We also control one universe and have influence over others, mainly through coercion, diplomacy, and fear. My unofficial map is this, which takes place immediately before Drecha’s invasion. (Red is influenced by (but usually not completely controlled by) the Warlord’s Empire, blue is influenced by (but usually not completely controlled by) the Empire of Galaxies, green is Earth and where all NS nations located on Earth are if they choose to join this thread, two or more colors on a hex means influence is contested.)
It’s unofficial and likely rejected but is still a nice addition to the thread.

I was thinking something a little different, but, for now, that may be our 'official unofficial map' of the NS universe. Question, how many years in the future would your nation take place (or would it be modern time, but FFT Tech)?

[Valentine Z]

Ahh, so I saw that we are only controlling one universe, not our own multiverse. Not that I'm expecting bigger power, I just thought we would have a small cluster of universes on our own.

As per lore, Valentine Z needing to share the Earth is going to be conflicting, unless we just happened to be interdimensional negotiators and defenders that came from another universe that is unaffected by this incident. Like a multiverse (us) bigger multiverse (them).

Yeah, we might need to fix that.

Maybe the green could be a random nuked-out Earth, which is the “Main” Earth, and all other nations existing on Earth come from some other unmapped universe. Would that work?

Also, the largest “verse” which contains absolutely everything existing is the Multiomniverse. Not like we’re at that level, but I just wanted to add that.

[Valentine Z]

Yes, I think that could work, thanks for the clarification! ♥️

No, each universe would be its own. Sorry for any confusion. It is, in a sense, a NS multiverse, where there are different realities.

However, there are portals on each world leading to a nexus world that have yet to be discovered.

If that makes sense. I was just thinking of having a main NS Earth based off our own, and that being on the map.

Sir, I just want to confirm I’m not Mirum. I’m the epic mapmaker.

It does appear that Mirum has already answered you, so I’ll leave it at that.

Okay, can. Thanks for the clarification from both Mirum and yourself, still. ^^ I appreciate that!

So first concern, how tryhard will Drecha conquer someone? I'm not particularly willing to have such a vast swathe of my territory get conquered and irreparably damaged, but that does appear to be well within possibility if I join. On the other hand, this being a legitimate threat does mean that the mobilization of all of World Machine is exceedingly likely, which consists of a lot that isn't even named because most of the World Machine military might is character-based rather than generalized armies — not that they don't exist, but there's a pretty clear focus on characters rather than large numbers. Also, which characters would I have to apply for, in that case, since I would probably end up with a lot? Furthermore, my military factbooks are all sparse in terms of "actual" military; most of my writing is on the elites, but while the general grunts don't have their sheer power in isolation, they have equipment and teamwork to continue being a threat to their elites, if necessary.

Second concern is the sheer scale and tactics of World Machine. Random people crashing in and being lost or trying to conquer it has been fairly common, and the magical abilities of World Machine indicate that, at minimum, miles are traversable in seconds if necessary. In the off chance that magical energy sources are cut off, it is standard procedure that everyone has equivalent FT equipment that they're trained to use/embedded inside of them, both due to Foreign incursions often coming in with anti-magic and Native enemies using anti-magic and anti-tech, necessitating both options to be common, although all of my characters are more comfortable wielding their Native magic, which is probably around Tier 9 and 10 at the upper limit, while most individuals average at Tiers 6-7, although keep in mind this is using the descriptions to a tee. However, this power is also reliant on them being in World Machine; outside their home, their magic is generally much more pricey to cast, necessitating some logistics in supplying magical energy replenishment.

Thirdly, I may have an ally at my side who frequently has reality anchors and the like. I'll have to see if he'll have the time and activity to keep up... same with me, in general, in this roleplay.

If you want a full disclosure as to my power levels, I can write that up eventually, but generally speaking, something on par with the visuals and drama of FFXIV limit breaks is probably the usual idea of a "the person I am fighting seeks to kill me and this is my basic hit" spell or attack for most Adventurers/Domeses. For larger affairs, Psytronius — a floating city-state — is generally said to be able to create Supreme Commander experimental levels of weaponry if they have to, although their actual, unique weapons generally take more time.

To summarize my concerns, I am both worried that this may feel like an unfair fight if I do get invaded since World Machine wouldn't hold anything back, meaning that an initial counterforce would likely involve several Domeses and Adventurers immediately firing off their strongest spells, but I am simultaneously worried that I may actually be beat to a bloody pulp and end up revamping my entire writing world. The easiest solution I can think of is to involve myself mostly or exclusively in the Foreign incursions outside of World Machine, but that would beg the question of why not invade me if I, at least, exist. On the other hand, I'm really tempted to have a refugee plotline, but I don't know if sacrificing 200-300 characters and most of World Machine is worth that.

Send them to one of the Banks Orbitals in Hahoalki's domain. We happily accept refugees, and any system with a Banks Orbital or similar megastructure will be close to a wormhole. If something bad happens, initial reinforcements would arrive in a few days, and one of Hahoalki's Avatars would arrive within a few weeks at most. Your refugees and any materiel would be well protected.

Of course, if you use magic before anything goes wrong, Hahoalki will take an interest. That is a good thing, as E would view the refugees as an asset to be protected at all costs.

Based on what I know of Drecha, letting a magic user succumb to the Drechanian parasite could be catastrophic.

It's more probable that most refugees will be transported to any of several allied universes, but I won't discount the possibility.

Of course, if you use magic before anything goes wrong, Hahoalki will take an interest.

Exceedingly probable that my magic will feature before disaster.

Based on what I know of Drecha, letting a magic user succumb to the Drechanian parasite could be catastrophic.

I would be surprised if Drecha didn't have magic somewhere in their several hundred universes, but either way, there are a lot of countermeasures at play in World Machine that limit mind shenanigans, just because of how incredibly common corrupting substances have been throughout its multiversal contact. As stated earlier, though, my magic is more limited outside of World Machine, so it's of lesser value as a reward of conquest.

Well, in my headcanon here (same user as Drecha, telegram that account to confirm), they do have a bit of magic (~4th level) somewhere in their empire, but nothing too big yet. I'm currently working on my next post, please don't think the threads are dead yet. SIGN-UPS ARE STILL OPEN!

[Valentine Z]

I will put up one... soonish. Sorry, I got caught up with some things.

No real clue on when I will post next as Drecha, but I put one up for this account.

Accepted for now (we will see how this goes with so many FT nations and Drecha's current military). Please TG me the link to the document. I would prefer an NS factbook though.

I think this is a good omen in regards to my concern about if I would be getting squishfished or no; keep in mind that my power projection outside of World Machine is comparatively lacking, so that should mitigate how threatening I'll actually be in-roleplay, past any initial attacks on me. I'll hopefully apply soon. Heavens know how many characters I'll need to sign up for...

My characters are either equal or of lesser power, so even if Mirrum is buffed, I'd still be balanced. Probably same goes to you too.
