The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

Caldwell stepped out of his jet and looked at the city in the distance. He nodded, squeezed the handle of his suitcase, and set off, accompanied by a short woman who appeared to be in her fifties. She wore a pink pantsuit, large glasses and had close cropped gray hair. They walked swiftly, escorted by whatever guards the Federation deemed necessary to protect the nation from these two aging diplomats. As soon as Caldwell got off the plane, he turned to the nearest guard. "I am Senator Woodow Caldwell, and this is my companion Del Rosenbaum. We are here on behalf of the Oculi. We ask to speak with the Dictator of the Federation regarding an urgent request from my organization. You can tell your superiors we offer an alliance, if they're wiling to make our deal.

As they were being escorted, Rosenbaum turned her head to Caldwell. "You know there's a good chance they're going to just kill us and be done with it," she whispered. "We represent change. That's never good for a dictator."

Caldwell frowned. "They'll only kill us if they want a full war with the Oculi. In seven months we've overthrown two major governments. I'm sure some of this Federation's leaders were at Bresson's funeral. Of course they know what we represent."

Warren Horrors

Sorry for the delay, I had internet issues. Apokalipse, your character is accepted. Lirila, I'm not looking for anything in specific. Any kind of power you imagine you could steal from a witch/warlock.

Warren Horrors

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
--1 Peter 5:8

When the West descended upon the New World, the Devil took fright.
For he would have no haven from Christendom's might,
So when the Indians fell to foreign explorers,
The Devil gave life to the Warren Horrors.

You are a citizen in the small town of Warren, Massachusetts Bay Colony in the year of Our Lord 1693. Only a few hundred large, Warren is a place where everyone knows each others' name. In many ways, Warren is just like every other town in the Colonies. It is dominated by the Puritan religion, obsessively so. The goal of most was to live a pious, respectable life. Then again, Warren is also unique. It is bordering a large forest, and on the other side is a large settlement of Native Americans. There is, for the most part, peace between the Natives and the Colonists, and even trade between the two, on occasion. Warren is also said to have been founded on the grounds of a huge battle between two warring Native tribes, and the mass grave of the battle lay deep beneath the town. Of course, many believe this to be an old wives' tale. The neighboring tribe vehemently denies this to be true. and gets furious when it is brought up.

As a citizen, you are just trying to live a normal life. What you don't know is that unspeakable evils are about to surface in the world: The Devil himself is coming to Earth to claim it as his own. Often, he would seduce humans into joining his cause with promises of power. This sparked the witchcraft paranoia of 1693, culminating in the Salem Witch Trials. Warren will have its own trials, but the citizens of this town are destined to open a box that they wish was left untouched.

Warren Horrors will begin historically, but will quickly devolve into an alternate fantastical timeline, obviously. Depending on your characters and how you choose to develop the story, you'll be engaged in an active war against the forces of The Devil.

You may create one family to play in this roleplay. This can range from one person to an entire clan. They will begin as a Warren colonist, but become entangled in Satan's struggle for Earth.

Background:

The rules for this roleplay are simple: No Mary-Sue characters, no godmodding. My usual policy is quality over quantity. Just because this is Advanced, doesn't mean you have to feel forced to write more than what you feel is needed. If you think you've said all you need to say to make it a quality post, it could easily be a few lines. Above all, have fun!

Great! I'll try to have an OOC post up tonight or tomorrow. Meanwhile, think about what kind of powers you'd like your characters to eventually gain, if any at all.

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

Caldwell Private Jet, Coast of Maryland

Woodrow Caldwell stared gloomily out of the window of his jet. He had not been in what had been the United States in three months. He hadn't even been in his home state of Georgia since the beginning of the third world war. His former nation brought dark thoughts to the forefront of his mind. He saw his face plastered across every television in America, in Times Square, his character ripped apart by Fox's Greg Gutfeld on The Five. Secretary of State Caldwell: This Generation's Chamberlain was under the pictures, followed by a recording of one of his conversations with a journalist: "I truly believe that the United States can avoid war, if we stay focused on the path of disarming our nuclear arsenal" over and over. Caldwell disappeared from the public days into the war. The government later admitted he resigned on day one, but it kept it covered up until a proper replacement, one who called for total war to show America had not lost its position as a superpower, was found. It was not long before the shamed man found comfort in the words of Jean-Baptiste Mercier, a longtime friend. Mercier and the Oculi movement represented everything Caldwell needed in his life. He needed to move on, embrace forgiveness, and accept change.

Caldwell opened the suitcase on his lap for the dozenth time and shuffled through the documents inside. They were a copy of the Oculus Constitution. Caldwell only prayed that the Federation was willing to see reason.

"Mr. Caldwell, we'll be in Washington in a few minutes," The pilot announced over the radio. "Radioing in the request to land. With luck, you'll be in the White House in half an hour, sir."

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

Why are we assuming the world after the third world war is identical to the world we're living in now? The world changed so drastically after WW2. It isn't out of the question for a Pope that calls for a peaceful coercion of a democratic constitution followed by him looking the other way if violence were to occur if the country was to say no.

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

I may be reserving The Vatican. I believe I'll have them join up with the Oculi soon.

Warren Horrors (A Salem Witch Trial-Colonial-Fantasy roleplay)

You definitely could!

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

Eight men and women sat around a table deep in an underground bunker, underneath the French city of Nice. They were the Oculus Senators, each responsible for overseeing different parts of the world in The Oculi's name. Unbeknownst to all but those in the room, one of these individuals was also the alter-identity of Cerberus, the leader of the organization. The Oculi was perhaps most famous for its collection of world leaders in exile from their home countries, and the most influential of these were appointed Senators.

"The situation in Italy is working out surprisingly well. We're working closely with the Roman Catholic Church to restore stability and allow for a democratic system to emerge again. The Papacy has become one of our closest allies," said Woodrow Caldwell, the former United States Secretary of State during the third World War and North American Senator. Caldwell tried to promote peace, and was shamed out of office when the war turned badly for the States.

"Now that Italy stabilized, I believe that it's time to turn out attention to other nations in the world," Maria Fernanda Espinoza said. Espinoza was the President of Peru before being overthrown in a coup by her top generals. She readily accepted a position as South America's Senator, and has been lobbying for a full scale invasion of Peru ever since she joined Oculus.

"Peru needs to wait. Your generals are expecting us, Maria. They're on constant vigilance," Caldwell responded.

"I'm not talking about Peru," Maria snapped. "I can recognize other areas needing out attention. Areas such as Central America. As they're Hispanic, they're obviously in my jurisdiction. They need our help."

"I'm not aware of any human rights violations in Central America," Birdie Conway frowned. Conway was a movie starlet in her days, just after 2010, reaching worldwide fame. In the 20's she retired from acting and became an ambassador and human rights activist from New Zealand. Conway joining with Oculi gave it a boost among older citizens who remembered the name Birdie Conway with fondness and respect.

"That's because there's nobody to report it," Espinoza countered. "There is no central government. Just feudalistic dictators doing whatever they damn well please, especially in Nicaragua."

"You'll have to look into that, then, dear." Birdie responded. "But little warlords aren't a threat to the world. We need to focus on larger threats. The North American Federation needs to be taught that a dictatorship won't be tolerated by our organization. Am I right, Woodrow?"

Caldwell nodded. "Absolutely."
