Blood & Iron [Modern Nation Geopolitical RP]

@Theodorable

While I must thank you for the ship, I can't help but feel a tad guilty about it all ^^;

Also holy shit, that is a lot of fucking detail, you going to do that for every ship everyone makes?

Also, I must insist you don't name things for me without a note of warning. I know you're GM and all, but still, a word of notification would be much appreciated ^^

Blood & Iron [Modern Nation Geopolitical RP]

Imperial Republic of Fuso

"A man looks to the past for inspiration, but looks to the future for progress."
~ The Book of Rising Suns

Spring 1911

---

---

Spring had come early this year. The cherry blossoms bloomed their bright petals earlier than normal and the people enjoyed such omens of good luck. The sakura cherry blossom was a unique tree found only in Fuso for the most part, the pink flowers long since represent a multitude of good things in Fuso's history; wealth, happiness, fortune, good harvest, there was a reason why it had been long considered one of the "holy jewels of Fuso". The populace would soon begin wearing pendants in made of sakura petals and trinkets crafted in the shape of the lovely flower in hopes of the luck and fortune it would bring.

Of course, those fortunate miracles were no mere acts of god. No, they had to be made by the labor of those who worked behind the scenes to ensure the progress, prosperity and protection of the divine Imperial Republic. For every new machine that promised to better people's lives, there were those who had to draft it, approve it, inspect it and produce it. For every new discover which would no doubt change the lives of millions, there was a legion of civil servants, researchers, officials, scientists and bureaucrats who carefully watched every step of the way.

It had been the pride of Fuso of being the "advancing crown of the east", but such things required a delicate touch to handle, a careful balance of speeches, displays and outside assistance. Most often in the form of those from the west whose technological capabilities had far surpassed that of the eastern lands. The Kingdom of Acheona often came up in such topics, either officially or not, the Acheonans had a long standing role in Fuso's development. And as of recently, several enterprising individuals came forth and offered a host of new products, theories and ideas in hopes of landing one of the coveted positions at the "Fuso Western Consulate". The FWC was the modern face of Fuso's western interests and those who sought to either assist or make a profit off of Fuso's situation.

People from Acheona occupied a respectable number of open positions in the FWC although that's not to say the minds of other nations haven't sought out a spot for themselves in the FWC. The organization was often attached to domestic research groups and institutes as aid and advisors to Fuso's own pet projects as well as acquiring any foreign supplements and equipment at a rate which normal trade could not compete at. Just recently the FWC had assisted the Meiji University School of Life Science with a new type of fertilizer, synthesized from western chemicals and enriched with native Fusan techniques. Such prospects was well received by both the Senate and the Imperial Court.

Regarding other news which received warm, cordial applaud from the government, Admiral Tananambo Tosuki, better known as Admiral Tanto by his own request, published his first major paper "Gendai no jidai no jūyō-sei to kaijō-sen, senjutsu to tenkai no eikyō" (the importance and influence of naval warfare, tactics and deployment in the modern era). Controversial in naval circles, Admiral Tanto's paper makes bold remarks on traditional usage and view of the Dai-Fuso Teikoku Kaigun, Imperial Fusan Navy or simply the IFN. One notable spotlight he casts in on the "Fireship Doctrine", an old tactic that has seen service in Fusan as well as select parts of Faresia since the age of warlords and clans.

"While honorable no doubt, heavily damaged ships can still be salvaged for use in other operations such a repairs or even coastal fortification... if we are to sacrifice the workable steel of an old ship and the men of a crew who have seen battle, then this is surely a foolish mistake in the long scheme of things and the big picture... what use is there for honor if there is no one left to tell the brave tale?"

Gendai no jidai no jūyō-sei to kaijō-sen, senjutsu to tenkai no eikyō

Such is only another story of a nation who seeks balance of old and new. Regardless, the Naval Command Committee has released its own version of Tanto's work containing only new ideas and tactics regarding the honorable IFN, stripped of any ideological or controversial subjects. Despite some hesitance from some officers, many Fusan captains are now going over the new tactics themselves as up and coming officers-in-training are now being shown the revised work in their curriculums.

The new work's official release is set to coincide with a recently built destroyer of the IFN's ever expanding force. Admiral Tanto has given multiple public statements of approval of the new Hashima-class's, the Chikihiro, "modern arms and advanced construction and engineering".

Let's question everything!

Free will does not exist, everything is done because something has influences us weither we like it or not. Bioshock Infinite actually does a pretty good job at exploring this topic.

Also, wtf is your current avi? Did you just take a picture of you pissing yourself on the floor a little or did you run over a smol blue jello lizard?

We'll figure out the Anderson stuff. Also, reminder. This ain't to aru anymore nor anything based on. This isn't also a sequel.
The Espers we have are more original. They don't have bullshit calcs nor hybrid BS. I'm more leaning towards Final Fantasy type of Espers/X Men mutants.

Magic is magic here, it has no relation to Espers. In fact, magic is such a wide ass topic to begin with,anyone can take whatever....etc.

We are the Alvarez Empire ffs, of course @NarayanK we can work it out. I, Haruna Zeref, Suku is my Irene..... Grey is my Invel xD Chux is my August, Leslie is Brandish.

@Masaki Haruna

I feel bad for not knowing this referance ;=;

I guess I should rephrase what I meant; Anderson was originally a much more crucial person to the plot. I forget the exact details given the time but I know that me and Jelly talked about this.

Originally in the original ACCA, Anderson would serve as the "final boss" of the whole thing. Everyone would have to try and storm his compound as he splits them up with into smaller and smaller teams with traps and stuff. Eventually it'd just come down to Ria and a few others to beat Anderson.

It would then be revealed that he originally wasn't like how he is and has actually looped through time many hundreds of times. However each one saw him failing at his mission or protecting everyone else from something else (I think this is what it was). Having started each timeline from the time he was given his watch, he slowly went mad as he kept watching everyone he tried to be friends with die. Thus once he managed to get himself together after several timelines of complete apathy, he developed an antagonistic streak as defensive mechanism as to not get too attached to anyone in the case he'd fail. He would also no longer reject his father's criminal business but instead become its heir and king in order to have greater power to adjust timelines but he still kept failing. His intelligence isn't as much natural born as much as its just that he's seen enough things happen enough times to the point he could "predict" what would happen next.

The "timeline" the RP was one would be the only one which Anderson would have successfully been line everything up in a way that no one else but him would have to take the fall, once and for all setting him free from the curse which was the time loop of his watch.

Something of a grandiose and stupid plot line if not sappy sad? Probably, but that was from a different time in my RPing life. I made Anderson be a very important character which made him slightly OP in my eyes and not to mention his influence and resources which most defiantly made him OP. And that's what I mean by him being OP and may require some adjsuting.

COLORS

@Masaki HarunaSo basically you want me to play Anderson again? xD

I'll read up more on this RP and tyr to make a CS.

How would Anderson's power play out tho, looking back he was rather an OP character.

@LauderI see, I was thinking of being in the same general area (a11-ish I think? its were the mountains are closest to the river) or being on the delta. Looks like we might be butt heads more often than first thought

Guess the next user's kink.

Ergh. Only when I'm high on bits of a fur suit.
