Dragon's Ascent - An Eastern Fantasy RP

So im planning on sorta doing a "sorcerer" character who is an alchemist good at very precise manipulation of qi to perform complex tasks while using very little raw power. Is it possible to have like "Inner Balance" Qi? also would Heaven allow me to impart limited intelligence to objects or something? so I can make swords that talk and stuff.

Everyone is Jorde [Comedy / Fantasy / Madness!]

Hrmmm Thinking of going "Archlich Ghost trying to revolutionize society by killing death" or "Sentient Spell Trying to cause a technological singularity...with magic"

Everyone is Jorde [Comedy / Fantasy / Madness!]

W.I.P

Solsys Network

Name of nation: Solsys Network
Species: The Solsys network originated on Earth/Terra and has a large amount of terran derived population.

The Solsys network is a technologically advanced nation that wholly embraces cybernetics, AI and to a lesser extent genetic engineering, The difference between "AI" and "Human" is blurred with the Solsys network as most members are cybernetic lifeforms or fully digital. As the Solsys Network had its beginnings on earth the majority of them are at least based on humans Neurologically.

Description of government: The Solsys network is a sentient social network capable of making decisions based on the will of the people but also not a complete "slave" to mob rule. The Network is distributed throughout Solsys explored space and different "nodes" have some degree of independence. Reputation plays a major role in Network politics and economy, those with a positive reputation tend to get more support and thus greater access to resources. Those who manage to piss enough people off enough might hit rock bottom. Any conceivable thing can gain reputation. Generally, Higher Reputation entities are trusted more so that when they give someone rep the rep means more.

Description of military:
PMC Overwatch: Many Private military Contractors exist throughout Networked space, Protecting employers assets in exchange for sweet sweet reputation. Overwatch exists to police them, those PMCs who join overwatch are given better equipment and are generally better trusted due to the codes they have to follow. PMCs are still largely given freedom of who they work for but "Using force to acquire Reputation" is strictly forbidden. If the need among the network is high enough, Overwatch may organize PMCs into a true military to deal with threats to the Network as a whole.

CommGuard: Commguard is a paramilitary organization who dedicate themselves to defense of Interstellar communication and trade. In a society such as the Solsys network this job is considered of utmost importance. Commguard Security forces defend planetside communications equipment while in space they command fleets of escort ships to protect wormholes and traders.

Technological Overview: (WIP for now)
Cultural Overview: The Solsys is fairly multi-cultural however some ideologies have become more common, in general most members of the network are accepting of augmentation technology. Over the years the network has become more focused on information rather than physical objects. (WIP)
History: (WIP till Terran Union posts) The Solsys network traces its routes back to ancient Social media on earth, Early human AIs started to gain some rights through "Legal Shenanigans" one of these AIs was originally tasked with being a social network. This network gained a massive amount of followers becoming the dominant social network in the west. As the old government of the United States began to crumble from corruption and attempts to correct the corruption The Network remained. Under a new reputation based economy the corporate landscape underwent major changes, some old companies could no longer survive while others thrived. Eventually the network spread to the SpaceX mars colony and eventually the entire solar system becoming the "Solsys Network"
While having vast ideological differences with the Terran Union the Solsys network was its ally during the war against Fascism in Europe, The Solsys network and Terran Union still have qualms with one-another but very rarely openly fight, often working with one-another. The Solsys Network created a large interstellar communication network using wormholes that allows FTL communication between Systems close to earth, they plan on expanding coverage whenever possible, The Commguard protects these wormholes to ensure they are not sabotaged by hostile forces.

Rulers of Night

Figured I'd post again since no one else did :/

And @Lucidnonsense, that character concept sounds...interesting. Why not give it a whirl? :)

@Rawk

Oh, are the humans originally from earth? or natives to the supernatural realm, I was considering having him be from some future earth that had discovered the realm of the supernatural and the character would be like...an explorer/diplomat/scientist.

@Keyguyperson

Hey did you get my pm about some possible history between the network and union?

Rulers of Night

Would a cyborg human wizard be acceptable?

Epic Fantasia!

@Orion Well, if you want to be an Alchemist, I could give you some sort of ability that would allow you to create your potions with your own body. I mean, you devour several ingredients, your insides facilitates their reaction with one another, then you excrete the new substance through your mouth, pores or in any other manner you'd prefer? With that, you'd probably have some sort of increased tolerance when it comes to toxins and foreign substances in general.

@Lucidnonsense I get the idea that you want, but I'm not really getting a concise them from it. Its a bit vague since I can't really determine the scope of the abilities you're looking for.

@Scio

Alright so let me try to get more precise on the necromancer:

Would probably start off with powers that mainly deal with the recently deceased, Magical CPR and the ability to create "pseudozombies" by preserving the recently deceased and raising them as zombies that can fulfill basic commands. As he gains level, the requirements to raise a zombie become less, the amount of intelligence he can give them increases, he can gain the ability to restore the memory of the deceased and gain the power to "rebuild" people frankenstein style. At later levels he might be able to Become a lich, create truly sentient undead with full memory, raise incorporeal undead such as wraiths and even raise the dead en-masse hordes of zombies.

You know what? I am going to join, even known I am not a big fan of fantasy. I can let it pass as long as it includes sci-fi and I make my nation rarely use magic.

I might do something that based on the Order of the Diamonds aka The Great Diamond Authority from the show, Steven Universe. Here's their logo:

What do y'all think of that?

@The Spectre

Cool Cool, Would be very different from our nations probably as most of the other players seem to be going for more Sci-Fi style civs.

Well now what am I going to do now that that's off the table?!

@ImportantNobody

Blobs that have an interesting and well thought out biology and an interesting way of seeing the world that lends itself to creating a star spanning civilization. The Blob people/hive/fractals!

The level of organization we place preference on in human society may not be the only place to put it, we place it on an Organism, but what if a society placed more importants on the rights of parts of organisms? perhaps these parts may have more autonomy than that of a human, perhaps every part of an organism is seen as a person perhaps the group is considered a person, perhaps the universe is considered "person"
