THE TRIDENT FOR NAUTRIAS






“We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones.”
― Jules Verne, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea




Nautrias was once a quiet paradise, glowing like a peaceful flower in the garden of the cosmos. Now, she is relentless and unforgiving. Her petals are slowly plucked by off-world corporations, privateers, and marauders. Despite the United Star Sector's attempts to police Nautrias, the ocean planet falls outside of their jurisdiction. The ruling species of the planet, the Droquilian, have claimed sovereignty from all off-world governing bodies. No one knows Nautrias like its own. Therefore, an outsider's rule with no droquilian voice among their senate has no say in Nautrias affairs. This attitude was heavily influenced by The Obsidian's Hand, a powerful corporation who promised a lucrative partnership in return for their loyalty.

Because of their greed and short-sighted hubris, the droquilians shook Obsidian's Hand, essentially handing over the keys to their domain. Twenty years later, the flood gates remain open for free enterprise, inviting any and all who wish to gut Nautrias of its riches ― for a significant fee, of course. The Obsidian’s presence on Nautrias is overwhelmingly insistent. Whether droning on the surface with their oil rigs, or mining down below with their underwater cities, they've built a home for themselves.

Yet, as they dive deeper into the abyss, the droquilian fear they'll discover what their ancestors tried to keep hidden since the dawn of their species...

A large droquilian contingent of anti-Obsidian outliers came to the United Star Sector for help. Through a political power play, a droquilian was inducted into the USS Senate within a matter of years. This allowed the USS the wiggle room necessary to operate within Nautrias territory. It also caused a civil war between the droquilian, igniting the seas into chaos.

We stare into mayhem from the plank, ready to dive feet first into Nautrias' maelstrom, to rid this planet from its corruption. We are The Trident, arbiters of the balance, and we will free Nautrias once and for all from Obsidian's grasp...





LORE















TIMELINE


2027: Obsidian’s Hand makes contact with Nautrias.
2035: The start of the first major Droquilian civil war.
2040: The Coalition is formed.
2105: Ugatchicora is the first Droquilian-Coalition to become a member of the USS Senate.
2120: The USS fully establishes their presence on planet Nautrias.
2125: Rear Admiral Gildeon Omarkei green lights the Trident.
2127: The Trident begins its second campaign.





Hello everyone.

As you've read above, we are part of The Trident, an active force representing the United Star Sector & Droquilian Coalition. Our objective is to police the friendly waters of our native allies, stop illegal drilling, hunting, and resource-gathering, from anyone ― especially from the Obsidian's Hand ― by any means necessary. Expect high action, drama, horror, and a fun time underwater!

Please keep in mind that I'll be looking for the following:

- Respect -
This is an easy one. We're all here to have fun, so any negative comments or attitudes expressed in OOC won't be tolerated.

- At least 2 paragraphs -
Posts will need to have enough on them for players to work with. Decent grammar and punctuation.

- Smedium-sized Group -
6-7 players max, including myself. If you don't get accepted though, don't worry! There will be an opportunity to join again.

- NO GOD MODE (KINDA) -
I’d like to to let everyone loose in small excursions against regular bad guys, but special events that usually drive the story will have posts that say: GOD MODE OFF. When that happens, you’re not allowed to execute an action and state the consequence, just the action. For example:

Regular action post: Aquaman throws Trident at Lagoon Creature, making it explode upon impact!

GOD MODE OFF post: Aquaman throws Trident at Lagoon Creature, hoping that if he hits his target, it’ll decapitate the monster for good.

GM REPLY: Aquaman’s Trident successfully lances the Lagoon Creature, however it doesn’t explode, it gets even more pissed off and turns SUPER SAIYAN LAGOON CREATURE BLUE!

*PM me for questions about this mechanic.

- Dependability -
I completely understand how RL can be. That being said, it's unfair for your fellow players if you outright leave without saying a word. I'm looking for long term players for sure, but most importantly, communicators. I don't mind at all if you don't feel like you can post, or even want to when it's your turn, just let me know so we can work around it. :)

Alrighty... Make sure to look over the OP as I’ve added a bunch of lore stuff, plus an additional rule. I’d say character applications will close no later than next Monday, but will definitely make exceptions if you need more time!

Edit: Please post character apps here and not in the character tab. Thanks!

@Jasper19Trident uniforms will be pretty casual compared to the USS.



Closest interpretation I can find, exception being a more lighter blue tone with a gold trident insignia patch on the left breast. I’ll try and draw the insignia patch when I get the chance.

USS have much more lighter colors, usually all white with darker accents like shone below.

@Jasper19 No prob!

I should note that there isn’t a strict dress code enforced since it’s basically a mercenary group. Only exception would probably be when Trident meets up with USS officials.

Typically, the second year members won’t care as much about wearing them, but the 1st years will most likely feel obligated to wear them.

@Jasper19 Looks good, I prefer a bit more detail, but you hit all the marks for each part! Only thing I'd ask to change is the year. My fault for not saying what it was in the op, but earth time is currently 2127, making Jules born at 2105. I do like the addition of Blurb into Nautrias lore! I'd imagine they'd be in seashell-type containers.

@vertigh0stYou're more than welcome to apply! Character applications stay open until next Monday! Please let me know if you have any questions.

@Jasper19As soon as I get all of the applications in by next Monday, I'm going to go through them all and start accepting who gets in, all at once. If we get enough before hand though, I'll start the process sooner!

@baraquiel Love the Quirina and lil Omni. A Creature-taming medic will be ideal for when the Trident is out saving creatures from poachers!

Don't know how much hands-on combat there will be in this RP, but I made a soldier char.
