Interested. So... Spitfires or Hurricanes? Not too familiar with Lovecraft, but from what I can gather that will be a benefit to my personal experience. I suppose I should catch up on WW2 era British slang.

I mean if someone comes along and makes another character I'd be on it, but I guess people aren't as interested in the idea as I thought. But yeah its probably dead and should be considered as such. Sorry for wasting your time.

While Europe may need unification in order to stay relevant on a world stage, not all signs point to this being successful. It would be equally likely and possibly equally interesting to have them fall from the stage into obscurity and or infighting. Not that either result would really have anything to do with us.
America.... well, you could run it as still the top dog and have it be far from its founding ideas either in principle or practice.
You seem to have ruled out India entirely and give Russia too much credit.
Anyway before I get into everything a great way to shake up the power structure of the world would be with a good old world war. Well, two of them. World wars seem to come in two's if you count the Punic wars that were not just a single siege and conflicts between Greece and Persia. Sticking to a historical model would mean that an underdog wins the first war and starts to become a greater power and then they also win the second war, cementing their global dominance. Or you know, known world dominance in the earlier cases. And you could really do whatever you wanted with that as it would involve too many variables to reasonably account for.

Interesting. I do have a few mostly insubstantial questions...
----
Is the ceiling Flat? A dome would probably be more structurally sound, but in the case of a dome is the 5o00ft. height the top of the wall or the top of the dome?
Did we sign an NDA? does the NDA also specify that we cannot speak about having signed an NDA?
Does Care have a way to deal with common human desires to travel and deal with new environments? Is this a common problem that requires brainwashing on a regular basis for those adventurous individuals?
Are any of the residents really old? I imagine some have been here for the 78 years since they would never have the ability to leave or do they get purged at a certain age resulting in the facility only being at half capacity?
----
In the event that you don't like the above kind of questioning you should probably tell me to get lost now because it never ends, but assuming it does not bother you I'll be thinking of a character.

Alrighty then. I will keep that in mind and add him to the list. One more, and possibly a character from me, and we can get going with this thing.
@RadioLizard
Looks pretty good. I could probably accept him as is. I imagine it would be pretty easy to get him involved in things even if he is not associated with any of the political parties. Does he have any particular view on economics? Its fine if he does not, but it may be helpful down the road.

I was expecting fourish, hoping for a lot more. Really I thought more people from the interest check would have come over. I will bother them tomorrow to see if they're still interested. I know besides you two that two friends of mine are also interested and that should hopefully be enough.
@The Narrator Seems fine. I'll add it momentarily.
@The One
So the first problem is improper formatting. I know I did complain about my own formatting being less elegant, but I still want you to have an overview section instead of separate personality and biography/history/backstory sections. Since his backstory is more personality information this may actually help it be more coherent. Oh and just get rid of the other section. Okay where do we go from here...
Reptile is from a far off land. Where? What is it like? Does he feel any longing for it? Does he even know where he came from? If not does it bother him that he doesn't know? Why does he travel? Where has he been? Is there any reason he wants to travel to Uskary? Does something their interest him? Is he passing through? Is it just a checkbox on places to go? Under what circumstances does he find himself in the country. Where did he learn to use "all weapons?" Does he often find it useful? He's a salamander so he's pretty small, does he find weapons made for larger animals like rifles something he'd want to use, but can't? How does he deal with significantly larger animals like bears? Can he even fight significantly larger animals because it would probably be really hard?Does he find it hard to avoid fights in his travels? Has he not been travelling long enough to become more aware of other people trying to manipulate him? How is he good at understanding peoples' feelings? Did he just pick it up on the way or did someone teach him about people?
In general I want him to be a deeper character because it feels right now like a shallow attempt to make a generically good character that is removed from the troubles of the world, possibly to be this objective third party with fighting skills to boot so he's never in a bad situation really. All of these are things I wasn't really looking for in characters. There are to be no heroes and good intentions shall go without hurting somebody. I mean being able to fight is fine, but tacked on to everything else it sort of leaves a bad taste in my mouth. At least his gullibility can be narratively useful, but I would not mind seeing that axed in the name of making Reptile in some way more interesting.
And oh, I didn't realize that you were actually going to immediately post four more dudes. um... this is going to take a while. Why don't you focus on making one for now. I realize now I opened myself up to this, but... I guess I just didn't foresee it being such an immediate issue.
If I like any of the other ones I'll let you know, but I cannot accept Reptile and if the rest of them are of the same quality I won't be able to allow those either.
@Bright_Ops Yeah, I'll get right on that.

As many as you can make good and run effectively. I guess I will object if you have so many characters running around all affecting some master plan that you as a player cannot be opposed, but go wild until there's a problem I guess.
