Aim: To collaboratively construct a reputation of Keverai and its’ people in character and to trigger further roleplays from storylines used in Open Minds.
Intro
The Revolution is over. The Recovery? It continues.
Open Minds is a character RP following individuals of both great and regular importance. The one common thread they share is Keverai - a nation struggling to find its way in the Isles it used to think it knew so well, and a country trying to shape an identity for itself after the largest point of instability in its’ history.
Today, people search for a way to thrive in what they do - whether that be maintaining Keverai on the windy road to a liberal democracy or simply living a happy, normal life in a nation which is anything but. Some people may also choose to use this time of discontent and recovery as a chance to exploit the nation for financial gain…
Intentions
- I’m thinking that we spend most of November discussing and talking about this, and then perhaps in the last week or so start posting?
- With this RP I’m really looking to include a lot of newer nations and newer roleplayers. Whilst this may not have immediate impact on nations, I truly believe that this provides an opportunity for a lot of skill-building and possesses a lot of potential to be wide, broad and collaborative in doing that.
- I’m also looking to spice up Central Argus a bit, providing a sort of playground I guess to characters who may cause some more trouble…
- The intention also with this is to provide a slower RP with a looser storyline than I previously have had with High Life and the Unraveling. Also, I’m looking to tie up the loose ends of these two RPs a bit more.
- In closing up these RPs, I also look to try and make OM a RP that sparks future roleplays in both Argus and in Keverai.
What I’m thinking:
- First of all, if you have any ideas or suggestions please comment on this OOC thread. There’s a lot of scope in this RP and I’m looking forward to a lot of that being utilised well.
- Also, if you’ve got some unethical businesses that weren’t implicated in The Unraveling who may still have money in Keverai, you could explore the plot line of living and operating in a post-Unraveling Keverai quite well.
Immediately when I was looking through this RP as an idea I could explore, there were a few existing Keverai connections that I saw as potentially being candidates to incorporate into this so let’s talk about them:
- Aizcona: this could be an opportunity to ‘buddy up’ with the Keveraite Government and exercise some of that soft power you were talking about.
- Scantarbia: Perhaps this could be an opportunity to better explore the palm plantations in Keverai and in particular the Leafy Valley incident.
- Ostehaar: It’s common knowledge that you have spies in the nation, or had least had spies - like you do in most places.. Perhaps this time they could pose as farmers and settle into Keverai (Although they start questioning their real home as a result and begin to negotiate the double allegiance they may have grown)
- The wider general/poor nations of The Western Isles: If you potentially think that people may have migrated to Keverai to work in sweatshops that were wound up in 2019 due to The Unraveling, this could be a good opportunity to better explore the consequences of this move by the Keveraite Government.
- New Totzka: Keverai’s always had a bit of a hushed reputation in organised crime, you couldn’t possibly have some dirty money or henchmen in the nation perhaps?
- Roendavar: I’m thinking people who may be associated with your cults drop by

Somewhat FAQs:
- What is the relationship between PMCs and assets of foreign corporations? - If they're in the green zone, there's no need for PMCs however in the yellow zone they may have PMCs and in the red it's likely they'd use them or hire local gang leaders/criminal organisation leaders to ensure security.
This roleplay is for members/nations on the map of The Western Isles only.
