Midnight Tech: Sends a starliner decorated like a gala and staffed with only the most presentable servants

Zetans: Sends several science ships that immediately scan their surroundings, broadcasting a pre-determined message

Chosen: Prepares vials of formula N0042-313-1, keeps the ugly dudes hidden away for good diplomatic presentation.

ECU: Sends a stupid kid in a shuttle

@Tortoise The ECU clearly follows the YA protagonist school of first contact.

@MetalWeight How would you feel about Augustilia meeting the Vampires?

Rough draft so I can just throw my hat in the ring. I will be working on it later.

@MetalWeight How do you want to do this? Collab? Me writing a short post of the Starliner going into your gateway/meeting your people in space or on the ground?

@ClocktowerEchos Starliner going through the gateway, with any meeting taking place on the ground- it'd be befitting considering Augustillia is currently in [PANIK] mode and not really able to get anything up in the air.

@MetalWeight I see, is there anything in particular I should mention or where I should end my post? I'm thinking of having the ship hover in orbit above the largest city on the planet and end my post with the two ambassadors come down on a shuttle or some kind.

@ClocktowerEchos Oh right!
Not only the largest city, but I'd imagine they could land near/in front of the Imperial Palace that houses the king, given how much nobles like to decorate their residences one could imagine just how ornate the king's palace would be and in turn how easy it'd be to identify. It also makes things more dramatic

They can also easily observe the whole planet from the air, Augustillia doesn't really have aircraft and in turn, have no anti-air or air defense systems to speak of, so any starships wont have anything to be scared of.

Just to let y’all know my hat’s still in the ring. Don’t count me out yet!

Still a WIP, my apologies for being so late. Getting over a bit of a creative block.
Like what’s here so far though, it’s about half done

I like it so far. Slightly cyberpunk.

Now we just need a communist nation that you and Sigma can cold war with for the rest of the RP

Thanks! I'm really taking a lot of inspiration from Bladerunner, which is sorta post-cyberpunk cyberpunk if that makes sense.

Still a bit of lore to add to flesh it out

I'm surprised no one tried making something communist, I was considering the idea myself for a time.
As for cold war adversaries, there are the Zetans, which probably would find the stratification inherent to Cayrellian society tragic. Maybe the Ospa, since their society seems to be quite centralized. Really, Cayrel and Columbia might end up hating each other as well, depending on what each of them sees of the other— that said, Cayrel will definitely try to keep its uglier parts behind doors

The interaction between the FWC, URC, Zelrio and ECU would be interesting. I'd consider them the most "normal" factions here anyways :D

Very exciting, needless to say

I'm a little relieved, tbh. Almost anytime I see a communist theme in an RP, it's almost always word-for-word the same idea and the same RPing. I feel like as soon as I get the application, I'll already know everything about the nation and how it'll be played.

I understand the sentiment. Hopefully the exact opposite will be interesting, or at least I don't see it as often

Still here, broski?

@Aleranicus
Still planning anything?

@Sigma
Other than a short description of the Urkani, and a detailing of the Yulzan war, I'd say your sheet is about complete!

One thing that is weirding me out is the phrase, though, is the quote "unlike most insectoid species, the Aldzir are not a hive-minded race," in your description of the Aldzir. Has the URC run into enough insectoid species which are hiveminds that you can be sure that's the standard?

Also, I might recommend cleaning up the empty hiders in your military section.

But, those are both pretty small nitpicks. You can go ahead and move Columbia over to the Characters tab. Can't wait to see her in the game.

@Tortoise Regarding the Aldzir, it was more a general type of thing, like for most insect species, you expect them to be hive-minded. But I can fix that. And of course, since the military extras were extra, I just focused on the important bits before filling out the hiders. Now I can do the fun part and add a ton of neat pictures and small bits of lore :D
