[OOC] Final Frontier(Sci-fi Faction Roleplay)

[Sigma]

Semi-Opened/Closed
Allow me to explain. From now on, entry into the rp will be PM-invite only. Be it from me personally or you coming to me. If you ask to join I require you pm me your sheet for me to determine if you're faction is either amazingly good, can contribute to the plot or both. However, If I myself sent an invite, such a task won't be necessary.

Chatroom
Since the beginning, man has always been fascinated by the stars, and always has sought to venture out, beyond the earth and explore the Galaxy freely. And by 2299, the time has finally come, as over a hundred sleeper ships leave Sol behind to new horizons. As the years go by, new worlds are settled, colonized and terraformed, humans are no longer chained to the Earth, and have entered the Final Frontier for a new start, a new future. However, as Mankind places itself on the Interstellar scene, they will face many challenges and dangers from one another, and and other species.

The far off world of Dacyira will be such a place to host such events. Located in the Naasu Sector of the Perseus Spiral Arm, it is a relatively unexplored region of space, thought to be barren as many of the words within were. But one persistent group of colonists would continue the search for a habitable world, and soon their efforts would be rewarded, at a price.

They found one, perhaps one of the few in the Naasu Sector, but unlike the dozens of systems they passed, there was planet viable for the colonists to settle. A few years go by after they touched down, they've adjusted themselves well, alerting their homeworld of the success of the mission. Dacyira was a vibrant world, Earth-like, and abundant in resources, the natives, while aggressive, were mostly keeping to themselves. It seemed like the Colonists would be living out Paradise, but that will change for the worse.

Others were soon aware of the planet, colonist ships from all corners of the galaxy traveling to Dacyira to stake their claim on the world. Once most of them arrived, it led to increased tensions among the various colonial settlements, even to the point of conflict. What was small skirmishes led to bloodier fights, the conflict escalated as the natives started to openly attack the colonists.

It had gotten bad enough that all the colonists plead to their respective Nations or Corporations to send aid. And so they did. Expeditionary Forces from across the stars traveled to Dacyira, preparing for war amongst themselves, and against the natives. The increased ship activity even started to attract more unsavory, rogue types, Pirates, PMCs, Freelancers, etc. All had flocked to this single world.

It is 2410, five years after all this mess started.

Welcome to Final Frontier, a new breed of NRP and much smaller scale. In which that, instead of playing nations, we play as expeditionary and corporate forces, Pirates, Mercenaries, the colonists, the native tribes of Dacyira, and all other sorts of things you can think of. A more personal and character-driven focus on the factions and people who make up the faction

[Avalant]

I'm willing to create a faction! I'll have one up tomorrow!

[Sigma]

Excellent, looking forward to it!

[So Boerd]

I am game. Sheet incoming.

[Skylar]

Jumping in this as a corporation with a bunch of private security and surplus military hardware to sell. This will be interesting.

[Sigma]

Awesome to have you aboard! :D

So, besides skylar. What will you guys make?

[NewSun]

Reserving a spot; thinking of going native.

[Avalant]

I'm doing something along the lines of the IMC from Titanfall. A larger coalition of companies wanting a piece of the wealth decided they would be far more powerful if they worked together, thus you have military contractor companies being sponsored by trade unions to secure valuable areas one the planet.

[Sigma]

Looks like we got two competing corporations, should lead to some great fun! :P

[eemmtt]

Im going to create a nation.

[Sigma]

Could you elaborate on that? There really are no nations(Colonies and Native Tribes sorta count as such, but much tinier).

[eemmtt]

Well a nation that established a colony on the planet.

[Sigma]

Oh, I see what you're saying. Cool. I have been considering to being a colony as well.

[NewSun]

WIPPING like a bawss.



"And as we set our eyes upon the land and overcame all that came to stop us, the world seemed to change and shift. It was then that we realised that the world was not ours to conquer. Our choices were to co-operate or leave; we are unwelcome here. The shadows in the forests stare at us from afar, watching, waiting.
This planet is cursed and we are not welcome."

Faction Sheet

Faction Name:
The Dacyirii

Faction Type:
Native

Dacyirii

The Dacyirii are an unusual race of natives, the most prominent life form on their home planet which serves as their namesake: Dacyira. They resemble ferocious, sentient, saurian lizards that are capable of moving bipedally or quadrupedally. Their technology and culture is far surpassed in complexity by the colonies and corporations that have come to claim their home as their own, still utilising swords and bows, steeds and wooden structures.
They are widespread throughout Dacyira, though their spiritual and cultural home is centred on the [REDACTED. awaiting on map of the planet before I detail this]. Many of the Dacyirii consider this area of the world as the cradle that nurtured and supported their far off ancestors, and is said to contain the spirits of all lost brethren in some capacity or another. They are an incredibly spiritual species, drawing strength from the prospect of glory and ancestry; even finding the courage within themselves to combat the invaders from the sky. This is usually an unsuccessful endeavour, but they continue to valiantly defend their birthrite with ferocity that few can match.
A Dacyirii is a monstrous creature to behold indeed, they stand on average between 9-10’ high, and often 15-20’ long, and are capable of moving at terrifying speeds and displaying physical strength that far outmatches that of any human. This is balanced by their obviously inferior technological state; but they are still a force to be reckoned with, especially fighting on their home turf. They are highly creative and will utilise Guerrilla tactics to fend off invaders.

Affiliation:
Dacyira

Leader(s):
There are many tribes of Dacyirii, including tribes of the Sea, the Forest, The Desert, The Swamp and the Plains, but I will be focusing and playing ReodeLiki (Ray-oo-deh Lee-kuul), The Mountain Tribe. (Roughly translates to ‘Mountain of the Beast)

UreReode (Yuh-Ray Ray-oo-deh), The Mountain King, holds precedence over all Dacyirii in the Mountain Tribe, leading through a mixture of ferocity and philanthropy, holding the respect of all his peers for his generosity and spiritual guidance, but also because of his peerless combat skill. Since the Fragiles from the Sky descended, he is said to have killed over 300 by himself, with many skulls for show to demonstrate such a claim. He is the most radical of all Dacyirii leaders in terms of wishing to free their home world from the influence of the Fragiles from the Sky. He will stop at nothing to see Dacyira liberated.

Military/Civilian Assets:
No guns, or powered armour or vehicles. The Dacyirii still use Iron Age Technology.
-Swords built from nigh on indestructible Thuikl wood, lined with shards of brutally sharp Dacyirian obsidian. Capable of tearing through trees like a chainsaw. Can tear through most armour given enough time.
-Bows built from an elastically treated form of Thuikl wood with strings made from flayed material of the same origin. The arrows are tipped with obsidian and lined with neurotoxins found in the bellies of the frightening Coastal Lurkers, a species of bird with some of the most potent known venom in the galaxy.
-Armor exists, but is made of stone, bone and wood. Negligible against modern weapons.
-Dacyirii ride several bests into battle, including the titanic Dacyiriaus, the banshee-like Doocyria and ferocious feline-like killer, the Iriasis.

|Military/Civilian Assets|

\AVA Corporation Assets/

AVA Mercenary
Typical soldier of AVA. While high quality uniforms, weapons, and armor are standard issued, Ava soldiers are usually free to customize or bring in their own weaponry on their paycheck. They are a diverse fighting group that usually carries backgrounds of former military experience.Usually picked from black operation units and companies.

AVA Light Armored Carrier (LAC)
An armored, all terrain, four wheeled vehicle that is commonly used for a variety of roles. It can be armed with a 12.7 machine gun to a point defense AA laser guided system. Carries up to eight people.

AVA Armored Personnel Carrier
This heavier all purposed vehicle is used mainly for transportation and logistical support, but other variations can range from AT purposes to electronic warfare roles. Typically armed with a 20mm Autocannon and machine gun.

AVA All Terrain Battle Platform (ATBP, or just "Walkers")
One of the more heavily armed vehicles of the AVA arsenal, this armored quadrupedal vehicle is armed with twin linked 90mm railguns, four AT missile pods, sixteen 30mm rockets, and a 7.62mm Gatling gun. On top of the weaponry, the ATBP also carries four drone bays, radar systems, and four laser point defense system, protecting the vehicle from most projectiles (Such as rockets, or missiles. Can take out one or two at a time if you get what I'm saying.). This vehicle is not used as commonly as the rest, only really when faced with serious resistance. Crewed by four people usually.

AVA Unmmaned Ground Vehicle "Hunter"
This UGV is design to patrol with infantry squads and provide both tactical and fire support. As seen in the picture, it is slightly smaller than a soldier, but is known for their reliability in the field. This drone is generally autonomous, but can be remotely controlled by a soldier. It is armed with a turret that sports twin 7.62mm machine guns, two AT missile tubes, eight 20mm smoke grenade launchers, and electronic warfare counter-measures. It is fairly armored, being able to handle most small arms with ease, but a heavy machine gun or an RPG could take one out easily.

AVA Support Drone "Hornet"
This fairly sized drone is well armed with a rotatable 37mm Gatling gun and a wide variety of option armaments. These autonomous drones specialize in close air support and long range strike missions. They can be deployed from ATBPs or varies bases. They also are VTOL capable.

AVA VTOL Gunship "Viper"
This very versitle gunship is fairly nimble and quick, being able to essential become a strike fighter when not in VTOL mode. It can be armed with a wide variety of ordinances, but always carries a 37mm Gatling Cannon turret just under the nose. Flown by a pilot and co-pilot. Limited to planetside operations.

AVA VTOL Light Transport "Cobra"
This is the main infantry transport of AVA. Think of it as the Huey of AVA. It carries up to ten soldiers into a combat zone and is fairly armored for a quick VTOL craft. It usually is armed with two Gatling guns mounted on each side and is crewed by four. A pilot, co-pilot, and two door gunners. It can go into space.

AVA VTOL Heavy Transport "King Cobra"
The heavy lifter and backbone of operations planetside, this large VTOL can carry a wide variety of cargo, ranging from troops to heavy vehicles. Due to its large size and poor armaments, it is rarely used in any active combat operations. It is usually limited to transporting troops and supplies to and from the ships in orbit to the bases on the ground.

|Brief History|
Formed to be essentially the "Enforcer" of the I.F.E., the AVA Corporation has gained some notoriety on the Final Frontier. They are known to be one of the more professional Mercenary companies, and if anything, one of the more well equipped ones. It is often joked that some militarizes on the Frontier are less equipped or organized as AVA. Regardless, AVA has proven to the I.F.E. that is is more than willing to protect their assets and because of this it receives generous support from the I.F.E. in comparison to the other security companies employed by the same organization. They have come to this new, bountiful planet with the I.F.E. Civilian fleet for the sole purpose of "Ensuring all I.F.E. assets on the planet of Dacyira are well secured and insured productivity is uninterrupted with any means available." Natives expendable, the odds incredible. AVA has come here to bring the hammer down.

|Other|
AVA, while heavily backed and supported by the I.F.E., is still a independent company that base decisions on profit. Thus there assets are for higher and, if you have the money, can be bought out. (Just keep in mind the I.F.E also knows this and will compete.)

[So Boerd]

So, to be clear, technology isn't terribly far advanced?

[NewSun]

I don't think he's specified. Standard sci-fi tech applies as far as I know. Don't use my NS as a template, i'm doing this to myself on purpose as i'm playing a native faction. ;)

[Avalant]

My faction is done. I figured the tech would be more Titanfall/Firefly like tech were there wasn't any real laser based weaponry or hover tanks. Anyway, getting really pumped for this! :D

[Sigma]

Technology varies between species, some slightly more advanced then others in some way. But generally overall, Titanfall/Firefly like tech sounds close to what I imagined. Not to say energy weapons are restricted though.

Also quick question. What do you guys think of this for the world map?

[Avalant]

Map seems fine to me! Though maybe a good in depth description of some of the general biomes or regions would be greatly helpful.
