Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

Please hold as I attempt to contact the relevant parties.

While Evan's on that note I might as well put out an app for people like him.

Name:

Physical Description:

History:

The individual character app isn't really for anyone with a faction and you don't need to use it to introduce any characters within your faction. So don't feel obligated to do it unless you want to fill it out and keep track of your characters, like Evan and I's friend Vilage.

Most of that stuff could probably break down after a while. Knowing heavy equipment all it takes is some asshole to tighten a bolt too tight - or too lose - to start a reaction to ruin the machine. There'd also be the market in trying to sell those machines, if you can even run them in a world with no fuel or no electricity. I can see that you're trying, but I can't help but think you're trying too hard to justify wealth in having the parts for a large conveyor belt or the engines to a beached ore barge.

NMU is also incredibly tiny as far as universities go, and isn't even as major a research institution. Western Michigan is ranked even higher. But even in this realm the specialized equipment for research wouldn't be much use once the lights go out. But, surely you'd find decades irrelevant business research information relevant.

How Encrypted seems to picture Marquette:

Don't get me wrong... It has its iron mine. I think that's about it. I can't really see it it holding much left-overs in machines that its neighbors wouldn't have in already-stripped repair garages. It's probably only got broken-down mining equipment to its name and rusted frames of the above ground mine structures.

Oh, and something I was going to do earlier, but pre-Memorial Day things got in the way. So, without further ado, some "loose" NPC organizations that'd be relevant to this region:

[inheritors of] FEMA/The F5 - The former Federal Emergency Management Association had been created in the late 70's to manage disaster recovery efforts and to survey the damage for the federal government in Washington DC on the deceleration of a emergency in a selected region. The organization was split into eleven different bureaus to manage to the breadth of the United States.

However, the collapse of society and FEMA's ability to coordinate with itself and with Washington had greatly effected the organization's ability to operate. More so in the Great Lakes where nuclear fire reigned on Chicago, destroying their regional headquarters and further crippling their ability to operate to their full organizational potential. All the same they remain.

Scattered offices throughout the Great Lakes continue to operate, if with a crippled ability to coordinate their efforts. Loose, informal contact with the rest of what remains of FEMA continues on. Though as the generations within the organization change as they do outside, the use of FEMA as an acronym dropped or new names were given to them by post-black out communities across the region. Most popular of all being The F5.

The F5 continues a mission of teaching post-apocalyptic communities to survive in as loose a definition to before as possible. Though they may not hold the organization knowledge to keep combustion engines working or to even build new ones, the least they can offer is the ability to organize based in the rising Missionaries of the F5 and traveling medical care or training between communities. Often time the F5 serves as a politically neutral caravan, moving between communities to bargain between them the needs they both need.

From a political standpoint this keeps smaller communities from showing their hand to potentially predatory groups who would keep their distance base on the variety of unknowns this keeps. For the larger communities this puts in someone else's hands the methods to spread their influence through kindly donations.

Aventurier - Men of distant purpose, the Aventurier claim to be from a place known as the Kingdom of Quebec, though self-proclaimed. Often speaking the language of their own language in the post-apocalyptic landscape the actual intention of the Aventurier is a mystery of their own. Though their primary purpose seems to be that of scouts or explorers sent to learn and trade with the land beyond their own.

For the new communities of the Great Lakes, the Aventurier are a source of trade to and from far-flung places many of the new generation would never had heard of. Such places as Les Aungtupée or La Nouvelle-Orléans. Though their ability to find and sell such far-away materials is renown, it is hardly anything but a luxury market to many in the new world, and aesthetic baubles.

Though with a commercial role, many come with other services. A regimented, military society. The Aventurier may see fit to his own honor to contract his own services out. Though his true loyalty lies in that land of Quebec and its interests ultimately over ride its own.

The Aventurier hold a more central presence in the Great Lakes, and have set up their frontier forts at both Sault Ste. Maries and Detroit/Windsor.

Good enough.

You do realize a part of my faction's history lays on Germany having invaded Poland, yea?

You didn't answer my question. Why does an invasion of Poland have to cause the third world war?

Because we need a major event, and it's as good as any.
