Caveats: We seek to handle the discussed subject material in an adult fashion with respect to armed conflict. There will be upsetting things in this game. Please not that anything particularly heinous is just me writing a villain same as any other writer, and the actions undertaken do not represent my own personal views. _____________________________________________________ Hello Folks! As another RPG ends, another begins. This one would follow a world that isn't unlike ours in most respects, aside from having other sentient races. We would be planning to have this at 6PM on Fridays, Eastern Standard Time. We will also have optional side missions through the week. We intend to hold the game every other friday, for a duration of no more than 2-3 hours unless otherwise told in advance. Themes: Survival, Glory, Chaos, Triumph, Failure, Darkness, Despair Inspired by: Warhammer 40k, The Spanish 'La Guerra', For Whom the Bell Tolls, 1920's-1940's _____________________________________________________ Locations of note: Kingdom of Gallia (Royal France), Kingdom of Anslea (UK), Disef Republic (Germany under a Republic), Turkoman Empire (Ottoman Empire), Empire of Utes (U-tays, for pronounciantion, Russian Proxy), Kingdom of Hispania (Spain), and the United States of Washington (America), Azlatan Federation (Mexico/South America) (Map will be provided later) ______________________________________________________ The Setting: (Using real dates/months for familiariy) December 1, 1885 City of Casa Del Sol, Planet, Caliban It had been a long time coming. The collapse of the old treaties. The aristocracy. It seemed like the world was about to reform itself. This could have been a good thing or a bad, depending on who you were. What you know for sure is that you're a soldier in the Royal Army of Hispania, and that you have just completed your basic training. You are to be deployed to other places in the world, as you'd soon be needed. Disef and Utes threaten Gallia and Anslea, and if it escalates to war, all the old alliances stand ready to bring the world to ruin. But from the sudden burst of gunfire coming from the direction of the palace, and the people marching in the streets with pitchforks and rifles, the world may be coming to the ruin quick. Whatever your reasons, you have to make a choice, and make it now. Do you fufill your Oath and Duty to the Queen & Country, or do you take up arms with the Rebels and help create a new world order? It's sweet and fitting to die for one's country, isn't it? ______________________________________________________ Races: Note: All races are capable of making hybrids. Please check with me for how that would affect you. Mankind- Ah, the races of man! So heavily featured in all writing! Mankind is as mankind does. They are largely present in Gallia, Anslea, Disef, Turoman, and Hispania as the dominant ethnic group due to colonization. Each has a different look that is general to their real-history counterpart. Volk- A canid anthropomorphic race, hailing from the soutenr mountains of Utes, they are quite large (generally 6'5-7'5 in height for both male and female) and are robust and strong as a result. The Utean Aristocracy view them as little better than slave labor. There are a few of thse in other parts of the world. Fae- Not magic, or Fae at all. A slightly taller human, with skin that ranges from purples to blacks to blue and greys, and hairs that ranges from silvers, greys, and blue the Fae live in nomdic tribes against the Turkoman Caliphate. Náshdóítsoh- Referred to by "Nash" by anyone who doesn't speak their language, the USW is pushing them off their land and into reservations while fighting a war against their southern neighbor, Azlata.A feline people, Many Of the Nash seek out work as mercenaries after they are done with their contacts in the USW/Azlatan border. Atlanteans (no relation to Atlantis)- Appearing otherwise human aside from their light blue skin and unusual hair color, they stand in similar height and weight, though tend to be more muscular. Despite this, the race is known for being quite remarkably intelligent as a whole. Many of the brightest scientests are Atleanteans. They largely moved to Hispania after Tsarist Utes took over their homeland and forced them out. Bull Men- Anslea. Working farms, tending crops, a large race of both male and female bovines work inexhaustibly in the grain fields and mills of Anslea, a strong and durable breed, they work hard though some may be say they were a tad bit simple. Very few of these have found their way to the world. ________________________________________ This concludes the end of our little introduction of our world about to be at war. If you care to be involved in this, please contact me via notes, or leave a response with discord or telegram! We plan to start Friday the 27th, 2019.
