So this is back, and I promise this time I will have the time to run this. Though I did make some changes to the intro bit but the rp itself remains the same as the first version in terms of concept and theme.
So you wish to be an adventurer? See places that no one has ever seen, explore ancient ruins of a long lost civilization and uncover priceless artifacts. Well, in this modern age, most of the world has been explored and charted. There is not much left to explore and discover something new.
But, what if I told you that there is still one last place on Earth where modern man has yet to chart? One last place where few would venture to, and others think is a mere myth. A lost continent, and no, I do not mean Lemuria, Mu, or Atlantis. But another older continent called Omon that few know about, and despite the status of the other lost continents. Omon is still standing and has not fallen under the waves.
Now I know what you are thinking, if Omon is still around and not sunken beneath the waves. Then why has no one discovered it and exposed it to the world? For there is a reason why Omon remains a long-lost mystery, and travel to this continent is very restricted. Not by a state or other power, but Omon itself seems to want to remain hidden or at least there are both weather and navigation problems with traveling to Omon.
However, I have recently found a way to travel to Omon, and I have determined that the safest way to reach the continent is by airship. Since attempts by ship are problematic at best, and there is a reason I am telling you all of this.
For I am recruiting volunteers for an expedition to Omon and using my vast wealth to fund such a venture. Which I will also be leading this expedition, as such an expensive venture demands my full attention and I will not miss out on this rare opportunity. Now I only have a few ideas what we will be facing once we reach Omon, based on what legends speak of Omon. But, I believe that we will not just make history with exploring Omon but be able to overcome anything that the lost continent throws at us.
Now, if you are interested in joining my expedition to Omon, then follow the instructions below, and I will see you there when we depart to Omon. Which we both will experience this lost land and see what discoveries and oddities we both will witness. I will see you there in this lost world.
Sincerely, Natan Wright.
Unaware to most, Natan Wright has another reason to visit Omon, and while his words are true about exploring Omon. There is something else he is searching for in Omon, and how this impacts the expedition remains to be seen.

Overview
Hello and welcome to the rp. So in this rp, you will be apart of an expedition to the lost continent of Omon. Supposedly located in the South Pacific and the expedition will be travelling by airship to Omon. Now with airships being a thing, the setting is Steampunk, but is set in the real world. The year being 1890, and this means while your char can be from a real life nation and be using real life weapons and equipment. Steampunk weapons and equipment will be allowed, just keep it reasonable.
Now, considering what roles would be available to play as. I will not be strict about it but, as long it makes sense for them to be with the expedition. But if you need ideas for what kind of person is being recruited for the expedition. Think soldiers, explorers, scientists, and engineers. But you can still choose what you want to play as outside of those four groups. Again, as long as it makes sense for them to be with the expedition, it will be fine.
Also, things to know about Omon, the lost continent. Dinosaurs are a thing and will be encountered during the course of the rp. Along with other extinct animals. Plus, a lost civilization, nonhuman sentients, and more will be waiting for the expedition to discover. Just keep in mind that Omon can be a dangerous place and sometimes things are nothing what they appear to be. Since magic while considered a myth in the real world. It is still alive in Omon but will not be as prevalent as it would be in a high fantasy setting. But it will still be around.
As for character pics, please go with drawn pics.
So that is it, and if anyone has any questions about the rp. Then feel free to ask.
The Atharane Islands, a small collection of six islands, with the island of Atharane being the largest of the six. A set of islands that most people have not heard of. Located in the Pacific and had a stint as a military outpost during the Cold War. Its value had gone away, but a small population still lives on the island.
These forgotten islands came back into relevance about a year ago when large deposits of rare earth metals were discovered on the islands. Making the islands an very important source of rare earth metals outside of China and the owner of the islands. The billionaire, Jamie Keywood, who himself is an semi local of the islands. He has gathered workers and engineers to mine the deposits. Even hiring a private military company, Highwater, to guard the island and provide security.
This arrangement would work well, and it seemed like the Atharane Islands would gain much wealth from this. Only it attracted the wrong kind of attention as a foreign group. A lesser known group called the White Hand, invaded the islands and took them over. Which part of the reason the invasion worked since the White Hand had agents in Highwater, and their sabotage of the PMC and even defections to the White Hand ensured the islands' conquest. Now taking control of the rare earth metal deposits and selling them on the black market and to certain clients in exchange for high-tech technology.
Now, when word reached the ears of the United Nations of what had transpired. Mainly thanks to the courage of a Highwater soldier. While it was clear that the Atharane Islands had to be liberated but, fearing that the White Hand could damage the deposits and kill the inhabitants of the islands if a UN-backed force invaded. Plus, the island's ownership and the deposits had been making other nations eye the islands to secure its rare earth metals.
In response to this, it was decided that the Spectres, a secret UN spec ops group, were to be sent in and liberate the islands from the White Hand.
Forty Spectres were selected and sent to the Atharane Islands by boat and later helicopter to make their final insertion to the main island of Atharane. However, the Spectres would unexpectedly get ambushed, and their helicopters got shot down before they could unload the Spectre operators.
Now wounded and scattered, the surviving Spectres must regroup and not just find a way to stay safe and survive as they are stuck on Atharane and at the mercy of the White Hand. But, find a way to continue their mission and hopefully get off the islands alive.

Overview
Hello and welcome to the rp. So in this rp, you will be playing as members of the Spectres who have survived the White Hand ambush and now are trying to regroup. While scattered and wounded, the remaining Spectres will find each other and figure out what to do next. They will eventually find the remains of the old military outpost in the form of bunkers, which will become the Spectres' base during their time on the Atharane Islands. From here, they will plan their guerrilla war against the White Hand. While being aided by the local resistance that remains on the islands.
Now, since the Spectres are a UN-backed spec ops group. That means your character can come from any nation on Earth. Even North Korea, if desired, under the right circumstances. But, as long as the nation has a spec ops group in it, then it is available.
When it comes to what equipment the Spectres have access to. The rp is set in 2025 so modern weapons, armor, and gear. Which is what you list in your cs is what you have at the start. If it is not there then your character does not have it. While your character can gain more weapons, armor, and gear during the course of the rp. By looting fallen enemies and enemy outposts.
Which it is possible for new people to join the rp after it starts. Simply, it was a Spectre operator that survived the ambush but failed to connect with the rest of the survivors and would be discovered later on their own. Or even a surviving captured Spectre that the main group finds out about, and a mission is arranged to rescue the operator. I am willing to help with getting your character into the group as long as it makes sense.
Now for character pictures, use real-life face claims.
That is it, and if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
Spectres
The Spectres are a spec ops that was formed by the UN in secret about six months ago in response to the rise of terrorist groups around the world. Being called Spectres, they were given the most advanced technology and weapons possible and were open to recruiting operators from around the world.
The mission to the Atharane Islands, being an important test for the Spectres since their formation. If the mission were to fail, then a much stronger and larger force will have to be sent to secure the islands. Possibly with the rare earth deposits being damaged and deaths among the islands' civilian population. Plus, it will be a black mark in the Spectres' record, and there will be doubts about the young group's capabilities if they fail.
White Hand
The White Hand for what is known about them, is that they are an up-and-coming terrorist group. Their first appearance was three years ago when they took responsibility for the bombing in Turkey. Since then, they have raised the scale of their attacks, and now they have managed to invade and conquer the Atharane Islands in a surprise move.
It is unknown how they acquired the manpower and resources to do this, but it shows how powerful and dangerous the White Hand has become. They should not be underestimated, and their hold over the Atharane Islands must be broken.
The Atharane Islands
A small archipelago located in the Pacific Ocean. The Atharane Islands contain six islands which the largest is called Atharane. Giving the archipelago its name and for most of its history. The islands have been left to their own devices and during WW2 and the Cold War. The Atharane Islands were controlled by the United States and used as a military outpost. After the end of the Cold War, the military outpost was shut down. However, it was still controlled by the United States and had a small civilian population of 5,000 that lingered after the closure of the outpost.
After some time, the Atharane Islands were leased to a billionaire, Jamie Keywood, with the plan to develop the islands into an island resort despite the concerns of the natives. It was during this time that rare-earth metal deposits were discovered in large quantities, immediately making the Atharane Islands an important and strategic location. Which Jamie realizes the money that could be made from the deposits. He quickly hires a private military company, Highwater, to guard the islands and for workers to mine the deposits.
However, this would draw the attention of other powers, and a terrorist group called the White Hand would invade and take control of the island. Only through the actions of a Highwater soldier did the United Nations receive word of this, and due to the political and economic concerns, a secret UN spec ops group, the Spectres, was sent to liberate the island from the White Hand.
So after thinking about it, I think I will not launch the rp here. Since it will only be me and you. Unless rp the shows more interest. It is not happening here.
So far, Leo felt fine with Duke, and he was glad that his anger did not worry him. Leo is normally better at controlling his emotions, but whenever he thinks of his father.... Then things become harder for him to control his anger. "Yeah, I hope so since Ares wants me to be a proper warrior and... disagrees with how I control myself, but I think I am just fine." A lingering taste of anger was in Leo's voice as he said that. It was one thing being yelled at by a parent but a god as well. Even though his mother raised him and not Ares. So maybe if Ares wanted a warrior, then he should have been there from the start. At least that is what Leo thinks about the whole situation.
Then in a more friendly tone, "Okay, Hephaestus okay." Leo trying to not sound mean or anything. "Wait," Leo now sounding a bit confused, "Hephaestus never met you? Uh, I figured the gods would visit their child. I mean, Ares visited me." Maybe what Ares did was not the norm with how the gods interact with their demigod children. Though sending a letter was on par with what Ares did. Then Leo remembered how Sofia had never met or received any word from Hades. Maybe it just depends on the god, it seems.
"So, have you wanted to meet with your father? I know it can go south, mine did, but maybe yours won't." Leo trying to sound reassuring, "Your father is not the god of war, so maybe he will be more... friendly or welcoming than mine was." Though Leo had to admit that he did not know much about how the gods worked. This being his first real venture into the world of gods and demigods. Leo is not even sure if any campers can contact their godly parent.
But that thought was brushed aside as Leo made it to the armory, a place where he was bound to spend some time, seeing how training was going to be a thing. Leo asked one final question before entering. "Since your father was Hephaestus, and I know I got some power from Ares." Leo was guessing here, and that was clear in his voice.
"What can you do, and did you make the weapons and armor in the armory?" Leo then entered inside and went to explore the place.
"Okay, that is reassuring, and I hope this new leader will be better than the last one." While some of the concerns she had were addressed, it seemed already. She wondered if the new security can hold up to what else Hades has in mind. She did not like to think about that but who knows what will happen in the future.
Though with training, the apparent purpose of the camp going to start tomorrow, and how while she has some muscle. Sofia is going to learn quickly if she can keep up with the rest. Still, the idea of having a six-pack is one she likes. Sofia just wishes that training will not be intense, and this new leader is a good one.
Sofia crossed her arms and only, "hmmmm." Like she was thinking of her next move with Mason. On one hand, she would very much like to meet and talk with him. They are siblings after all, and Sofia always liked the idea of having one. But it sounds like he may be hard to approach and talk to, but that is a challenge that she is up for. Now she just needed to figure out the right time and place for it.
"That is very good to know, Heath, and well, I will try regardless to talk to him. At least once." A sly smile appeared on her face. She hopes it will not cause a scene, but it will happen if she has any say in it.
"But if I need more help...." Sofia thought for a moment and got back to Heath. "I think I am good for now. But if I need some help, where can I find you?" It is nice to know two friendly faces at camp so far. Heath and Leo, but she would love to know more people here. And the party tonight is sure to help with that. Maybe even see Leo and Heath if he comes to it. At least camp will not be boring, it seems. At least not today.

So that is it, and if anyone has any questions about the rp. Then feel free to ask.
Plus, I am looking for a co-gm and if anyone is interested in the role then say something by DMs.
Okay, I know what I said, and I know how this seems, but again, that problem I had it turns out is not over and I cannot run the rp right now..... I am very sorry for this, and while I will do this rp again. I do not know when that will happen. Very sorry for this and disappointing the people interested in the rp.
