World War 3 was 300 years ago. The date is now 2350.
Humans have evolved to adapt to the new surroundings. The combatants in WW3, the Molotov Pact v.s NATO, spanned all the continents, cost about 6 billion lives, saw the usage of scores of unconventional weapons, and wiped thousands of cities off the map. The usage of nuclear weapons created nuclear fallout that caused disease and death. The once beautiful Earth became a wasteland.
Now, jungles, forests, wastelands, and blue ocean once more cover the Earth. But the human mind never gives up its twisted ways. The production of guns has begun, but the advancement of the 21st century and beyond has been lost. Guns like the Thompson SMG, bolt-action rifles, and simple machine guns are making a comeback, but advanced weapons like chemical gas, planes, tanks, or heavy artillery has not been re-invented. And the time of world-spanning empires has returned.
Your task: You are going to RP as a low-level soldier in one of the following empires,
-The Nordic Empire covers Scandinavia, The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, the northwestern part of Poland, Austria, Belgium, part of northeastern France, and some other territories.
-Mamlaka, the Islamic Empire, stretches from the five “stans” and north Afghanistan in the east, to Morocco in the west.
-Israel is the only nation that stands in Mamlaka’s way, protected by its non-aggression pact with Mamlaka.
-Hindustan has expanded from India, conquering Nepal, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and southern Afghanistan. Hindustan has taken extreme action against muslims and christians in the country, deporting them to Mamlakan territories in exchange for either Hindus or money.
-The Japanese Empire has exerted its dominance over the Pacific, the Philippines, Korea, and Indochina.
-The Yan Empire, which covers China, Mongolia, and parts of Indochina.
-Ruthenia covers Russia, and exerts power over Eastern Europe.
-Iberian Empire, which covers Spain, Portugal, southern France, Italy, southern Britain.
-Slavic Empire, covering south eastern Europe
-Indo-Malaysian Empire(Indonesian-Malaysian Union) a smaller empire with a powerful navy
-Britannia, based in Britain. Struggling to unite the islands and fight off the Iberians and the Nordics at the same time.
The once great superpower of America has become colonized by several powers. The coast of California has been conquered by Japan, the south mainly conquered by Mexico.
The rest of the world either exists as smaller free empires or kingdoms, or as colonies of the above powers.
When you have chosen one of the above empires, you must choose your weaponry. Choose one sidearm, one melee, and one regular:
Sidearm Options:
Mauser C96
Nagant M1895
Browning M1903
Colt 1909
Savage M1907
Regular
Browning Auto-5 (shotgun)
Gewehr 88 (rifle)
Mannlicher M1890 (rifle)
Chauchat M1915 (LMG)
Enfield 1917 (rifle)
Other (will be accepted if gun existed in WWI and research is done properly)
Melee
7” inch knife
Kukri blade (Hindustan only)
4” knife
Shashka (Ruthenian Empire only)
Katana (Japanese Empire only)
Thin sword
Broadsword (warning: makes combat unwieldy and reduces agility)
Once you have chosen the above, please copy the code below and fill in the necessary information.
- Code: Select all
[b]Name of soldier:[/b]
[b]Nationality / Empire of Origin:[/b]
[b]Regular Weapon:[/b]
[b]Sidearm:[/b]
[b]Melee:[/b]
[b]Personality (optional):[/b]
[b]Speciality (select one)[/b] Sharpshooter [ ] Tactician [ ] Strength [ ] Bravery [ ]
Note: The above is not to say is that if a soldier has one that he/she can’t have the other. It is just their dominant trait.
Rules:
1: I am the OP, my word is final, although as long as you are being reasonable and your posts are backed by actual facts (since this RP is WW1 themed, but with very different conflicts, you should have a general idea of the tech level), there won’t be any modding
2: You can’t be a general or an officer in command of 100+ troops. The whole point of this RP is to express the war from the point of view of a common soldier
3: No killing other players’ characters. You can wound them, not kill them directly. However, if the player wishes to have their character die for the sake of the plot, they can communicate that with you through either the OOC thread or telegram and your character could, for example, throw a grenade and indirectly kill the other character.
4: No out-of-person posts! Posts should be detailed and a reasonable length to induce the dramatic sequence of war.
5: I have the right to create more rules as I see fit in the future.
