Antediluvian Secrets (official POC worldbuilding thread)

Was my app ignored for something, or was it just missed? I might have genuinely forgotten to put something in, lemme go check.
EDIT: Nope, the stuff left blank is what I'm told to do by the app.

*Grumble*

Look, it's right there. Sam is listed as Foxtrot's driver.

@Ayreo: What language(s) do the Antediluvians speak? The Precambrians? The other nearby countries? I ask because it's relevant to the phonetic alphabet I'm making up.

English with a different name. No idea about the Precambrians, but I've been playing around with the idea that all the languages on the continent are pretty similar, so that people of different peoples can understand each other fairly well.

Great. So I'm assuming it would be safe to say that most RL Germanic and Romance languages (and maybe a couple other language families as well) are present on the continent.
Also, if you have any ideas about a name for the ethnicity of the majority Antediluvian population (or the ethnicity of the nobles, as they may or may not be the same), that'd be great.
Also also, some city names might be useful.
Also also also, what's the predominant religion of Antediluvia, and what are the predominant religions of the neighbouring countries? What are some historical religions?

Sorry for all the pesky questions. I just want the worldbuilding to be as realistic as possible.

You're on the Personnel list, so I'd assume so.

I'm curious to know if my app was missed, if so here's a link

[Gvozdevsk]

I must have missed your app.

Mortar team, yeah, I know... still thinking on it.

You didn't say accepted or anything, so I was confused. Sorry bout that.

[Old Craet]

What about my other dude?

Never mind.

Like I said, I mixed up the two when I made the key. Xs are supposed to be installations, Os are supposed to be major cities.

The one in the bottom left, right below the key? Oh, sure, that works. I thought you were talking about the X next to the purple line, since you said it was next to the Precambrian border.



If Ayreo wants, somebody could use Pimp My Gun to make one. Of course, assuming what he said in the Cafe hasn't changed, we're using 50s/60s tech here, so I don't think we could get away with a notM-16

Actually, I was talking about the one next to the Precambrian border.

Sorry, didn't get the memo about the mixup. I'l be fine with the one right below, as it fits the description as well.

Yeah, I just fixed it in PDN, will be posting the link to the corrected version shortly.

Also if I can't have a marksman slot I'll gladly be one of the riflemen in Charlie squad

Can you give me some names for the country to the west of Antediluvia, and one for the country to the east of Precambria?

Name: Ralph Stommik
Age: 16
Sex/gender: Female, but enlisting as Male

Rank: Levy
Years of service:
Civilian occupation: None (in High School)
Nobility:

Preferred role: Rifleman
Preferred squad/platoon:

Appearance: She has blue eyes, a rather sleek face, and, naturally, looks quite young. Her clothes are rather awkward, since she's (badly) fixed them up to make her look like a male, and she cut her blonde hair short. Also very small and lightweight.

NOTES: I'm not that good an RPer, so I was looking to get my skills up. Sorry if anything's wrong.

Just a question, but if this person is female, but enlisting as a man, why are you referring to them as a "she"? Kind of pointless for a woman to crossdress to enlist in an army that conscripts regardless of sex or gender, and its kind of weird to keep referring to a person as "she" if they identify as a man.

The western one could be Erathemon, the eastern one... Reioni.

No, I'm not quitting it with the old stuff vibe.

Can you quit it with not answering my TGs?

[Transoxthraxia]

Also; Religion. What kind is there, what's the deity(s), who do we pray to, etc?

[Lolloh]

Well, I simply refer to them as "she" b/c they are, in the end, a girl. She's not IDENTIFYING as a man, in the way transgender people do: She's cross-dressing so that she can enlist. Now, the one thing I was thinking might go wrong was just that: That women are allowed to enlist. Somewhat odd, since you aren't criticizing the age, but...

Okay, just cut the section about her dressing up and I'll enlist her as a common foot soldier in your military, provided I'm not too far behind...

Jeez, have a little patience, would you? I've a ton of stuff to figure out, stuff like...

I can help with that, I'm rather interested in any religions.

Okay. So, I'm thinking monotheistic or dualistic, something similar perhaps to Manichaeism or Mandaeism with a dualistic element of a single God that has a chaotic, evil side and a good, caring side, since boring old Abrahamic Monotheism is, well, dull. I can also go into myths, a holy book, stuff like that.

Oh, also, what measurement system do they use? Metric? If so, what kind of system did they use before?

If you'd like, you can just get me to make some of this up. However, I do need to know what language family (Germanic, Celtic, Romance, Uralic, etc.) the language of the ancestors of the nobles is from (assuming they're all one ethnicity), and if it's different for the majority population, the same for them. It may not seem like much, but given my vast knowledge of linguistics I can extrapolate a shitload of info from that.

Oh, and what's the central governing body of the country? A monarchy?

They're IFVs.

Well, Oorburg would probably have a more germanic origin. Though Oor literally means Ore in the language. But people there still say Oor, and speak a more germanic, Bavarian-esque dialect.

This weekend, probs.

I added images and adjusted the last names, because I like Cenricing better. Tell me what you guys think.

And to contrast that, the Precambrians, despite embracing magic, have this weird belief system akin to the Gaia hypothesis.

These would, of course, be just majority religions.

Matching Mithras' personality perfectly! Get back on your horse.

Sweet. I'll go to work on the dualistic one, then.
