The specter of war looms over the world. A shadowy ghost simply waiting for the reaping of young souls. It's been almost fifty-five years since the closing of the last Great War. A conflict that bruised Europe, both physically and spiritually. No great changes come, and the ineptness of the governments in achieving any one goal through the conflict was a great moment of questioning.

And as Europe stewed and picked itself up, the rest of the world rose. Asia. Africa. New contenders that have a chance in challenging the European hegemony. A new war is only inevitable, though the hopeful would retrospectively chime the Great War was the last true war the world would ever fight.

But they should know better. Through the last decade the ambitions of rising states have marched the old world or each other off the map. Empire have fallen, with new ones rising to take their place. And the old ideologies are to clash with the new ideologies. The Great War had not satisfied the specter, and he hangs in the shadows grinning.

There is a great reaping to come.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Precipice of War. An RP that has been running for three years. An RP that has called up to three forums now its home. And those who take part of it have become part of its brand. Precipicers. Precipricks. Whatever term coining from within or without based on your disposition now or later.

And now we're here, on our third home after leaving or second. We had gone through two years unmolested, though now the mods have taken a turn we're not liking. So as we did last time: we moved. And like the last time we're not restarting.

Anyone new who looks at this will be surprised to learn that we present many more quirks and conditions than presented in any other Nation Roleplay, or Alternative History world. This is a consequence of our fluid lore, ever marching forward. The story of Precipice has been deemed to carry on to its end, and many of us have contributed to it for long enough to have value in it; we now hope you will be a part of it.

As you will notice when the IC rolls is that the RP does not treat nations as a single entity, where all posts are written from the perspective of the state and actions written like a summary of current news events. Nations are treated as a collection of individuals and they are played that way, with any character we can produce being not only a piece but a means of exploring the world, our lore, and the society and greater story. In a sense, almost George RR Martin.

[b][u]APPLICATION[/u][/b]

This application format is for those looking to play as a nation or an sub-national organization/NGO (just flip "nation" for "Organization" to set aside that section of the app for the name/title).

Nation:
Leader:
History: (Four-five paragraphs if not more, otherwise I may not pay attention.)

[b]Application for participation dedicated to single characters[/b]

This is a relic of the old RP I'mma revive for purposes of nostalgia, or to have it as an option. The purpose of the single-character application is to allow someone to partake in the RP without having to get involved too deeply in international affairs and to work alongside the nation of their residence to explore and flesh out their home, since we nation or organizational players can't otherwise concentrate on normal activities or explore all aspects of a military front; we just don't got the creative energies to get so in-depth all the time.

As such this is a sort of out-sourced avenue for people to be involved and help explore the world without having any real weight.

"Single Character play/participation" is thus defined as anyone wanting to partake but to not take up the heavy mantle of being a nation or large organization which would theoretically allow you the rights to create and control thousands to millions of potential characters from any caste or roll within the nation.
