"DEVOURER": Bronze, Blood, Betrayal

@pugbutter, I run two of my four games, actually.

"DEVOURER": Bronze, Blood, Betrayal

Yes, Nhir is the most important city culturally to this empire, although it is no longer the capital. "Nhirians" references their homeland and point of expansion/influence whereas "Ûzurenids" references the patriarch of their ruling dynasty, King Hezered. The two are interchangeable depending on your character's values.

Most the names and linguistics are very Sumerian, with the geography and culture more on the early Achaemenid side. But I for one envisioned Mneššebnar more like one of the crueler Assyrian kings (Sennacherib, Ashurbanipal) than Cyrus, who made far greater advances in diplomacy, administration, art, and civil rights. Not to say he's evil—no more so than anyone else in this world—but he makes a piss-poor philanthropist.

I'm not too concerned with being accurate to a certain region or era as long as the "feeling" of the world is preserved. I won't be surprised to see people pouring Viking inspiration into their Angaturiz, for example. So although I don't have a hard proxy for all the Semitic peoples yet, you could easily play out your favorite archetype from a wide swath of the world map.

@pugbutter

Thanks! Also, I don't have the time to join your RP (and might not do so for the foreseeable future), but you seem like an interesting guy.

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

The Anatolian culture you seek would best match the Ûzurenids/Nhirians, the largest empire on the map (which will be delivered in full for the OOC, although I can send it to anyone's PMs who wants to see the current progress). If you do choose to join I'll be very interested in seeing whether you are loyal to your homeland to the last, or a turncoat in the making ... best of luck to you.

@pugbutter

The Nhirians are the invaders, right? If so, what are they like? Are they closer to Cyrus the Great or are they closer to Xerxes (yes, I know he wasn't as demonic as he is portrayed in popular media, but even so)?

Edit: Oh, Xerxes.

Double-post: But just in case I want to have the time, I want to be Iranian/Jewish/Arab/Armenian!

I can't join right now, but I wish you luck - This is a very interesting and novel premise.

Noble Arms: Restoring Hope - With Gratitude to TheHangedMan

@Smike@MagusDream@Argonaut@Qrow Storm@rawkhawk64@Renny@Bob the Grunt@Nimbus:

I edited the OP to make the game semi-sandbox instead of just sandbox!

Edit: Also, note that as the game is semi-sandbox instead of sandbox, the Disablers and Hammers, as well as other villain factions, are slated to lose, though it'd take months of RPing IRL and they have every chance of bloodying the enemy. That, and if the heroes act like super-idiots, there's a chance that they can win anyway. A chance.

@Nimbus, Accepted, but the Co-GMs have to accept as well.

Kingdom Hearts - The Lights of the Multiverse (KH and Alternate History) [Full]

Gummi Ship Renovation's Might, Renovation

Tocsax should have known better than to approve of Felix's actions, but Felix/Psilvux was a friend and he tolerated a lot more from friends than he would from people who, despite their moral character before they met, were still strangers. Yes, this was a black mark on Tocsax's character; nobody said the Nobody was perfect. So he said to Ignitio, "Allow me to explain. Felix's tactics may have been - Okay, they were the worst thing he could have done right now, but we needed to get going before the enemy attempted another massive assault on the world where we were supposed to meet and prepare."

Then Tocsax was interrupted, and it was only then that he realized how his friendship with Felix had blinded him to the consequences of his actions.

As Vic lit the entire room on fire, Tocsax, without the time to pull out his Keyblade, lifted up his hand and shouted, "Mass Shellga!"

A blue aura then covered every member of the group except for Vic, before Tocsax turned to Georgia. "I... Uh... I might have helped screw the pooch here." His frustration and embarassment were genuine, as well as his awareness that he was partly to blame for this and deserved punishment. A flash of emotion - True Guilt. "Help me save the kid, Georgia. I don't want him to harm himself."

<Zekaraya,> The Angel's voice spoke again inside his head, <I will guide you to your next destination.>

An image of a globe much like his' own, only with the Sahara being a desert and large spots of darkness covering it. <A world forsaken by God. A world where Emmanuel was never born, and which still waits for their messiah. A world where those who follow the Law of Moses and those with black skin are persecuted, marked for extermination. The only saving grace is that our enemies are repulsed by it as well. Wait for them to defeat the blight that infests your destination - Then destroy them!>

A pause. <And above all, beware of The False Lion, Judah Ben Isaac, he who refuses all claimants to the Messianic Throne.>

@Renny, It is okay.

Bartimaeus and Ryteb have quit the game, so we need two more Co-GMs!
