he 2070s and 2080s were the period in time where China commences a decades long operation popularly known as 'Pacification Missions'. These are essentially brutal military occupations of Southeast Asian countries and generally has resulted in some form of local backlash followed by brutal military crackdown, which can lead to even more backlash, leading to a sort of repeating cycle until one side breaks.

Some Pacification Missions were successful, such as the ones conducted in Vietnam and Malaysia. The military commander in charge of the region were wise enough that constant cracking down was ineffective, and essentially propped up a Puppet Government that are legitimate enough in the eyes of the population so that effective Chinese rule can be maintained, others, such as the case in Singapore, Cambodia and Indonesia, almost led to a total collapse of the Chinese presence there.

For Indonesia in particular, beating down a stumbling giant that was once the 4th largest economy proved to be an unenviable task. Resistance from the various University students, Indonesian military remnants, and Islamists (which may or may not be funded by weapons and resources smuggled from Australia) essentially led to the Chinese having to force itself to occupy only a small enclave of major cities, while the Indonesian countryside were left to their own devices. Historians were quick to note the parallels to the Japanese invasion of China during World War 2 effectively leading to a similar situation. While major cities were under control, the military could not get the countryside to bend the knee and accept rule under a foreign power.

In the case for Jakarta, pacifying such a a large metropolitan area is impossible, there are too many military installations that the locals can loot, and the University of Indonesia complex is more than happy to made new ammunition, weapons, and spare parts should resistance forces run low on supplies. Repeated Chinese attempts to destroy the University of Indonesia were failures, partly to the militarization of the Complex, and, during that one time where China tried sending in long range strategic bombers and ballistic missiles, were shot down by US Fighter Jets over the South China Sea. That period in 2083 led to a crisis and nearly caused a Second Continental War, whose escalation was only stopped when China signed an MOU stating that they would occupy only the northern part of Jakarta, cooperating with the rogue governor there.

The signing of the MOU led to a period of detente within the Chinese occupation, with curfews being lifted and locals free about to mingle with other Indonesians outside Chinese controlled areas. Still, this is a deeply unsatisfying status quo for everyone involved, and by 2095. Patience, whether that be on the Chinese side, the various factions vying for control for Jakarta's side, and really any power that has an interest in Indonesia, are running low. Jakarta is a ticking time bomb, almost ready to explode.

The only question is who will lit the fuse.

Hmm? .. this seems like a very interesting roleplay to be a part of. Hello, my name is Kira and I have only an hour each day to post a reply or two on here on the weekdays due to my job but if that is enough then I would be happy to join this roleplay. I do not use discord though. Can you send me info in my PMs but if not then can we chat OOC in the OOC thread on here. I am just not used to Discord. I already have my character sheet set up but can it be with any creature? like vampires or orcs or etc? I am into fantasy myself but I can be more realistic and change a few things around on my character sheet information. Most roleplays with groups I have had bad experiences and I really want to see where this roleplay goes off to .. if I am accepted into the group then I will be happy to put up my character sheet information but for now I eagerly await your reply and do the nervous and eager waiting game. I am eager to be in the group but nervous of messing things up.

Unfortunately this is a pretty Cyberpunk Real World RP. So yeah, no orcs for the moment. Still, I would be more than happy to guide you if you're still interested.

Do you know anyone that might be interested in this?

you have to adjust your character for a Cyberpunk setting and explain why he's where he is.

There's a character sheet for reference.

Name: Aari Campbell
Gender: Non-binary, but begrudgingly accepts masculine pronouns.
Background: Aari was a young man when he moved to Indonesia for to enroll in one of the many medical schools there. At the time time, 2053, Indonesia was a rich, powerful country and he enjoyed his days exploring the city, meeting other students, and studying what he felt was his calling. In 2065 the war occurred and Aari, a surgical nurse, was transferred to a military base to treat soldiers. These following years took a toll on Aari's young mind as he encountered violence, gore, and worse. In those years Aari hit lows, and drugs became a solace, mostly stolen prescription pills and cocaine. When Aari was relieved of duty he did not continue his contract with the military, but it hardly mattered. Two years later the war would end, and his addiction to drugs grew. As his life slipped into a cycle of debauchery and hedonism, his focus on work and school slipped. Eventually, he would lose his license to work when a fellow nurse caught him stealing pills.

Aari's drug debt piled up quickly and after a violent shootout, the Cobras came for him. They beat him senselessly and narrowly he avoided a gruesome death when he convinced them he could be of use. Aari now takes care of the wounded criminals and mobsters the Cobras employ. Bound by his debts, his fears, and his desires, he remains loyal to the Cobras and he been a major asset to the leaders. He keeps their men healthy and alive, installs cybernetics, and has been teaching others to do the same.

What is Aari's nationality? Just wondering. It's kinda weird having an American named person serve as a Medic in the Indonesian Army. You might wanna expand on that if he's not Indonesian (and explain how he became an Indonesian if he is)

@Kumbaris that's fair. I don't know much about the citizenship laws of Indonesia but this is an Australian who would have been living in Indonesia for about 5 years before the war started. He came to Indonesia for college (med school so I figured that by that time he would be a citizen in the country.

If it is an issue for the setting I can easily change that asoect of my character.

He can be an Indonesian citizen, but you would need to go into depth and research about Indonesian Social Norms and Mannerisms. Not the hardest thing in the world tho.

You can still maintain an Australian nationality also, but probably make him more 'native' since he's spent decades in the country.
