UltikanaRe

The Nations of Tethys

A little last-minute, but very interested! Expect NS by Sunday night.

The Calm Before the Storm

<Snipped quote by gowia>

Also I got claim over Pseudo-Germany

Bitch.

@duck55223

Too bad, so very sad.
You realize I can create any pseudo-Germany I want and rename it, right? I won't do an exact copy, but it will be a confident world power seeking to exit it's relatively humble cocoons. Also, I see no claim.

The Fires of Anuria

Thunkd about it some more, I will probobaly GM this. Do not expect a full format ICk until Sunday, but I have wrapped my head around it enough to think it will be successful.

Imegana - Closed to outsiders. PM to join

I would personally say not enough mountain and too little building count, but I understand that is difficult in mine craft.

Imegana - Closed to outsiders. PM to join

I can't find anything beyond photo editing. I might try GIMP, but it is not my favorite

Imegana - Closed to outsiders. PM to join

I lack access to a reliable paint tool.

Orion: New Beginning

I will get an NS up shortly. I will no be on tomorrow, so expect it up by Sunday.

Orion: New Beginning

Assimilatory Domains of Synkoto

They live! They live! the complex bio-machines of the Synkicorp had been completed. We knew not their fate, but they were to be the final state of perfection. All humanity watched in anticipation. How little we knew of them. We knew not the full extent of their sentience, nor their rue purpose. we simply knew they were to assemble where no human could set foot, and become the force of civilization.

Government

The Synkoto Central Assimilition Office is the leading force of the nation. At it's head is the 'Synkifed', a mysterious leader that takes the sensory input of all Biprocids (Biological Processors) and calculates the best decision for all Synkons connected to the 'Synkinet', a network connecting the consciousness of all Synkon.

Systems

Myhono

Myhonosol (Star), Kreith (Capital Planet).

Capital system of the Synkon. Cymonik in Kreith houses the Synkifed. A complex elliptical orbit means that half of the planet, is in perpetual darkness and blizzards, while the other is a superheated desert. The livable middle is a giant expanse of salt water. Ordinary lifeforms would be fazed, but the Synkon are not of flesh.

Agroj

Agrojsol (Star), Lythekian (Lush World), Iseki (Moon of Lythekian) Tyridik (Colony Planet)

Lythekian is the home of the Centrius Synkilab, a select group of supercomputers hooked up to the Synkifed. They test stimuli independently in various environments to create new technology. They are responsible for the Hypernius Beam, a solar transportation network. It transports matter instantly between planets in the same system.

Azur

Azursol (Star), Blutherion (Gas World).

A complex system of vapor rings and stellar void comprises Azur. The cloud-cities of Blutherion are the only developed structures in the system. from the vapor and exhaust of the Assembly Machines coms the Ebulon Rays, a solar object comprised of a complex chemical structure known to glow bright blue.

Military

As the Synkicorp knew the threats and dangers of the Universe, all Synkon are equipped with material disassemblers (devices that re-organize atomic structures into smoking vapors), as well as energy blades with grapplers. A few specified Synkon are equipped with heavier weapons such as Stellarcalls, devices capable of harnessing the energy of the nearest star into a device capable of melting asteroids. A few stations are armed with a larger version of this weapon, capable of destroying systems. Of course, very few exist and are far to large to be carried by any Synkon. Being they require no oxygen, Synkon are known to sail in giant Star-Barges.

History

The Synkon as a model of a perfect civilization so humanity could follow. They created one master Synkon to be leader, and from there sent the race to the desert world of Myhono in their home system of Kreith. They adapted quickly, but communications were cut buy a mysterious source after 100 years of the project. They continued developing, and created many new weapons and armors. They also created SynkCode, a deeper level of adaptation commands and files. After 400 years of Project Synkoto, the Synkifed remains.

Technology

They use a web of warp loops to get between systems. Although most 2 Dimensional depictions of the web would make the geography distorted due to the loops all being depicted as the same length when in reality they vary greatly in that metric, by that map their systems are connected by one warp 'loop'. they use perfected alloys mixed with BluVapor from Azur to create substance immune to atomic scrambling, and conventional weapons due to it's density.

The Twelve Labours

Interested---very interested.

The Idea Bank

Something I tried repeatedly, but didn't happen.

The L-Net

2432 CE: Genetic manipulation has reached its peak. IQs can now be specially engineered to 200. Hair color, eyes, and other features are for parents to control. Personality manipulation is the stuff of science fiction and can never be achieved.
2563 CE: Atomic manipulation is available. Atoms can be created and destroyed at will.
2585 CE: "The Dark" occurs. All metal in the world goes dark for 10 seconds, then humanity blacks out for 10 years while specially engineered drones and probes go around the world and insert an electric virus emitter. The virus is controlled by a man named Giov Morodimi. Humanity is aware only of the 10 seconds during which all electricity stopped and all metal went mysteriously black. Many speculators believe aliens, but this was disproved by NASA.
2654 CE: Giov Morodimi enters a cyrochamber where he will achieve sub-sentient immortality. His mind still controls the virus emitters and the viruses themselves.
2733 CE: Giov releases virus. His cousin, Derigm Morodimi, institutes "The Hack". All alter-egos are put in cryostasis and their personalities are carried by the infected cells to the virus emitters, who in turn "Upload" them to a mysterious supercomputer known as the "L-Net", standing for "Life-Network". It is now 0 LNR (Life Network Rotations).
0.5 LNR: Derigm voluntarily joins the L-Net to assimilate humanity for "The Return", when they will all be enslaved to the Morodimis. Derigm and Giov cannot figure out how to directly control personalities, but they know how to code it into their minds.
50 LNR: The Morodimis lose control. Nobody knows why. Legend says that Derigm's key to the Return is still hidden in the L-Net.
250 LNR: Civilization is reestablished. Various cyber-governments spring up.

You have the ability to cast 'spells' in the format of a computer command. Only a small nobility has access to these.
Format:
///:{[CommandNameOneWordAbbreviationsAreLikelyALLCAPS]:<Target/Message/PointA/PointB/AnyThatMayApply:<Whatever>>}(security code clearance-command channel)

Examples:
///:{[IMSG]:<Message:<Hello>><Target:<UltikanaRe>>}(0-ulti'schannel)
Sends the message "Hello" to UltikanaRe through the "ulti'schannel"
///:{[DEATH]:<Target:UltikanaRe>>}(7-End)
Kills UltikanaRe through the "End" command channel

Security Code Clearances
0-7, easy to hard to learn the inner code. 7 is unknown to most people.

Levels of code
0-7, 0 being visible when you enter the command line, 7 being accessible only by hacking into the inner core of the L-Net. Depending on the clearance of the command, you must know that layer of inner code.

File extensions
An User (Command-wielder) may create files of varying power depending on the commands used in that file. Here are some common file extensions and their clearance:
.doc: Document, 0
.img: Image, 0
.dsp: Display, 0
.adsp: Animated Display, 1
.wor: Superficial world (looks and feels like just a game), 1
.wedit: World Edit (Minor), 2
.lnk: Persona Display Link, 2
.ccon: Optionial Control Link, 3
.ssc: Self Structure Change, 3
.wrd: File ward, 4
.endoc: Encrypted document (Minor), 4
.nedit: Net/World Edit (Medium), 5
.enfl: Encrypted File (Major), 5
.core: Net Edit (Major), 6
.aurhak: Hack into persona without permission, 6
.moro: Contact to the 'mythical' world of Earth, 7
.rel: File pertaining to "The Return", 7

Netaliases
All personas within the L-Net have a Netalias, which is essentially a name. Users have an Useralias and a Netalias. For most commands (specifically minor ones), a Netalias is required. For the most advanced commands, they may require an Useralias.

Netcodes
All personas have a Netcode, which is essentially a password. Users have Netcodes and Usercodes. Again, these are required for commands and accessing files well as the L-Net itself.

All humans are users, the other 5/6 of the populace are net personas. They are engineered to be the Mrodimi's military ideal citizens. They're looks and features are based off of a random User.

You will play a user, and feel free to make your own commands. If I see something OP I will tell you, but virtually anything is possible with the right clearance.

The posting requirement is 8-14 paras a week, distributed however you wish. When you are making your character, think about the world (file) you are in. Nothing is perfect in the L-Net, so feel free to come up with a few mega-dystopias. You may also decide you want your native world to resemble a high fantasy MMOORG. That is totally fine. I want that diversity. You are required to also fill out the world sheet unless you have the express consent of the world builder. Anything used without permission will not be accepted, be I do not accept world builders who decide they no longer want to work with the other person at a deeper level.

Character Sheet

Netalias/Useralias
Netcode/Usercode
(Image if you would like)
Race/Species
Occupation
Appearance (2 para)
•Race/Species
•Race appearance details
•Attire
Backstory (Not really the place for a lot of character development, more of a timeline with plot hooks. Try to approach it objectively. 2-3 para)
Personality (2-3 para. Please reference backstory for why she is that way.
Alliances/Organisations/Employers/Nations (A few lines each, no more than a para per...whatchamacallit)

Worldbuilding Sheet

Name of Cyberworld
List of prominent nations and cities. (Please distribute about 24 lines between them for descriptions.)
Geography (This may have been somewhat covered in earlier sections. You may skip if you feel you adequately described it. Be sure you also included climate, topography, wildlife, terrain types, and bodies of water. Please make sure you have about 3 para in earlier sections if you skip it. Also, it would be nice if you went by nation/province/region)
History (This an overview of the world. You do to need every war that happened between some nations, but you do need large societal trends and massive conflicts. For example; for our world I would probably list the Enlightenment and WW2, but the American Civil War would most likely be left out as it did not affect too many other nations. 3-4 para)

You may switch up the order of anything in those sheets.

Please do not go too far over those maximums. I do not really want novella-epic-per-post or even in CSs (although I did intentionally add a lot to the CSs and Worldbuiling Sheet). I feel this belongs in advanced because I do want 2 or more paragraphs a post, I just want less than 10 (per post).
