you can either play as Russia, Germany or, why not merge it all together to create a new superpower?
For the alternative universe part of your questions. I could say yes, but if you wanted to play as for example our real world japan, then that's fine. I set this to be a semi-realistic RP so pre-war history isn't really required. But, I encouraged that you would be creative and make your own nation instead or, better yet based your nation on a group of survivors and create your nation from the ground up.
Because of a failed experiment, several portals from another world, began appearing all over the world. and with them, endless waves of monsters and creatures began pouring into our world. They were endless and above all relentless. They laid siege to cities and indiscriminately slaughtered everyone in sight.
No nation was spared from the onslaught, weak, strong, poor, or rich. All was attacked, some survived, even fewer fought back but, most of them fell. They didn’t spare anyone Women, Men, and children were not spared. The invaders motives were clear, it was extermination.
Where do we start then?
Well, we all start at New Years Eve, A few minutes before the invasion started. So Everyone has little or no time to prepare. Even if they somewhat knew, what was to come. I did this to make the RP more interesting and also for balance purposes also.
I want us all to be underdogs in this RP, cause believe me their gonna come at us from all directions, all at the same time. Also, I want to see your reaction to such an assault. Will you survive? Will you fall? or Will you even fight back? Those are the questions I want to be answered in this RP.
Also and above all I want us to have fun and to learn new things. We're the underdogs in this RP and we need every edge we can get to reclaim our home from those that want to see us gone.
Those that won't work for the start
Radios
Satellites
The internet
Means of communications have been severed by the invaders. Satellite dishes are still intact, the same with radio towers. It seems like the invaders have jammed them, though the method has not been discovered.
Ships
The seas at this point has been conquered by the enemy with ships/creatures of there own. As a result all ships have been either destroyed, captured or still at sea but are heavily damaged at this point. They by themselves are fortresses (battle ships) at sea but, just like in land, under-siege by the enemy.
Nukes
You don't have access to nukes, cause the UN at this point has stored all the nukes in one place calling it dead earth point. Sealed shut from the outside world and only select few knows the location. This was known as the global nuclear weapons ban of the UN. But, if you follow it then you would be limited to a nuke or even 2 or more tactical nukes and since all communications have been cut up you have to manually fire them.
if you thought of something that could be game breaking, please ask me first.
Nations Sheet
Though, I recommended that we all use nations (real nations that we have in our world.). I highly encourage that you make your own or be creative, like being a small group of people that banded together just to survive and etc. (I'm hoping for something like sealand here. XD)
But, if you wanted to be very detailed. Like for example describe what they were before and how they came to be then that's fine. However if you wanted to start with a newly founded nation then that's also fine by me.
Name:
Flag/symbol:(Optional)
How you survived:
Technology:
military might:
History: (if your nation has history in the world and if your nation is new just write how it came to be)
Characters are your most important piece you could have here in this RP. Them being here in the RP means that they would play a big role in the future.
Name:
Rank/title:
Appearance: (If possible with a picture and a little bit of info.)
Weapon:
Armor:
Capabilities: (Is she/he a capable leader or is he/she a unbeatable warrior)
Background: (You can be every detailed here but, the most important thing that should be here is how he/she came to power.)
What if I wanted to play as the monsters or have a fantasy race.
Interesting to say the least. PM me for more information about that, I wouldn't want to give up too much information about them.
But, the answer to that is yes of course you can, just PM me first. Because you have to fill up another nation sheet for them. and you would be given role
What's the goal.
Well, Its to reclaim earth but the story won't end there. that's the only clear goal humanity has for now.
What if I don't like my nation?
Well, the world is under attack by hordes of monsters and the such. just tell me you want to change and I can arrange that.
What if I want more nations?
You can have up to five nations if all of them are small groups but, you have to play as all of them which is gonna be a hassle on your part.
What's are the portals.
The portals are essentially gates to another world but, they started as an experimental worm hole generators by the space agency, Legacy. The plan as published to the public was to cut travel time from hundreds, or even thousands of years to near instantaneous travel.
This technology was supposed to allow humans to colonize the galaxy but, due to unknown reasons the gates prematurely opened and with them beings from a new world, did it work as intended? nobody knows.
Are the portals destructible
The small ones can easily be blown up or even destroyed these ranges from the sizes of houses to small towns but, The big ones however aren't. these big ones have swallowed the "gates" whole and have remained. No means have been discovered to close them.
Do you have more questions just ask me?
About the GM
Just to start off, I'm not the best I know that and I have accepted it. I have not seen an NRP I could get behind, so I decided to make my own. I don't have the very best grammar as some of you or maybe most of you have already noticed from the very top.
So asking you all to have the very best grammar is a hypocritical thing for me to ask of you, as I continue to make the same grammar mistakes over and over again. I honestly just want a post that we can all read, understand, and enjoy. I just want us to have fun as we continue with the story.
For those that are gonna go out for some time, I wish that you all would tell us before you leave. I understand if you have something to do. focus on your family, school, and friends first before this RP I can understand as long as you tell us first.
The RP is set to mid-high casual, as I believe this is where my ability as an RPier I am currently at the moment, I also ask for your forgiveness for anything bad I may do in the future. I truly hope that you enjoy the RP.
Rules
I love surprises so make friends and make your plans.
Be cool and nice.
If your gone for one and a half week then your nation dies.
The first thing that strikes me with your app is the lack of any sort of organization, or coherency even. If your posts in the actual narrative are going to be defined by lots of single-sentence paragraphs as your app is then I'll have to turn you back. So at this stage I'll have to deny you.
You can certainly try again, but I ask that you clean your application up a bit and get it to read more organically and coherent. As it is it could be re-drafted as a set of bullet points and be no different. I want narratives, and I'd like people who at least show the capacity of writing them and have something of a flowing, non-jumbled post.
The Republic of Ram started out in way ward island or what remains of that island calling it the blasted port, because there was barely enough land for everyone the land was primarily reserved for shopping and the few remaining yachts were converted into makeshift houses the foundations of what would be later known as the confederations of the few lands.
Because of this system the confederation flourished as a result and expanded to more islands to come, this islands include the sugarcane island of sweet tooth, and the citrus island of broken rock island.
Soon after this prosperity however will not go unnoticed as a large group of raiders boarded one of their ship towns(what they call there ship borne settlements) killing everyone and taking everything of value later burning it down after, this event was later known as the sinking incident.
This incident was the start of the collapse of the confederation, as immediately after the incident slavers from the mainland started setting up shop in the area and started invading smaller ship town and without much resistance as the confederation on that time were bows and a wooden club at most.
Despite the confederation have tried to mount a counter attack against the slavers their inept in combat and being most of them were conscripted and without training, the attacks just added more slaves for the slavers to sell, after several failed defenses and campaigns by the incompetent leaders of the confederations collapsed.
With the collapse, the slavers in the area increased in power and was firmly secured and with the confederation gone they were free to operate in the remains of what was key west island.
Because of the collapse of the confederation and the continued operation of the slavers it would be several years later until civilization rose in the shattered remains of the island, the kingdom of Citirus or what would be later be known as the republic of Ram.
After the fall of the confederation most of the ship towns were either destroyed, abandoned or either was captured by slavers and raiders.
The remaining lands were still farmlands but instead of willing farmers, slaves and slavers are all there was left of them.
On the plantation of broken rock, a slave revolt led by Jackson Grey took place ending in the destruction of one of the surrounding ship towns and the defeat of the slaver gang the red spears, and with their victory the founding of the kingdom of Citirus.
After securing the island and its nearby ship towns, King Jackson led his men to the reclaim the other islands and to drive off the slavers from their islands, a campaign later known as the key west campaign a bloody war that ended in the destruction of most of the ship towns and the eventually the successful reclamation of all the islands of the confederation.
Though the campaign was successful the damage however was too much for the kingdom as the loss of the ship towns meant fewer housing and space for its people forcing them to migrate to the main land, Florida.
With a handful of makeship ships and ready hearts they sent out to find better lands, all equipped with their crossbow in hand they set sail landing on the south of Florida seeing and seeing its majesty for the first time seeing land that seems to have no end.
The land was fertile and teeming with fauna and flora from Hard wood to Soft wood ideal to construction and ship building, with the wood they constructed the town of Citirus landing the Capital now famous for its harbors that always teeming with activity.
But the resources that permanently made them settle in permanently was the discovery of bees and sugar canes in the region with they started farming immediately, Though the location was still primarily under the control of raiders.
If the kingdom of Citirus wants to take up roots they would need to annihilate the raiders that plague, Florida.
As Jackson and his men set out to get rid of the raiders the swamp lands of Florida where most of the bandits took up residents, the campaign ended with a few skirmishes ending in the defeat of the kingdoms forces.
The defeat was highly due to being the terrain being unfavorable to the tactics of the kingdoms forces and the troops were fitted with gear not suitable to the environment if the kingdom wanted to eradicate the raiders they would need to reform their armies and their tactics.
After a few months of reforming the army, the Citirus rangers was formed composed by the armies most experience men, these men goal are to perform search-and-destroy tactics weakling the enemy and if possible elimination of the enemy.
Because of the rangers being better trained and much more discipline, Jackson started a new campaign to get rid of the raiders, one that he won easily, as the rangers easily eliminated the unorganized forces of the raiders erasing their presence from southern Florida forever.
This victory increased the sphere of influences of the Citirus kingdom in Florida as some of the villages have merged with the ever-growing kingdom and because of this the kingdom easily expanded in size, population and territory now up to what was once Miami.
As the kingdom expanded further inland, one of the villages near Miami was harvesting potash in the crater of what was once The city, Potash is a resource that is plentiful around the area but the kingdom heeds it no mind as it didn’t seem very important at the time.
At first Frederick Henry, (the kingdom’s master of the land a title Jackson gives to people he trusts enough to take charge of the resource harvesting in land) didn’t cared until they told him what was so important with it, it was salt.
Salt was hard to find around the kingdom and the demand was high, they had his interest and soon a small dedicated mining facility was soon established under the control of the village.
The introduction of salt to the kingdom was well received increasing morale of the population and with the annihilation of the remaining bands of bandits left, the populous was eager to explore and expand further inland in search of these resources.
Since the economy expanded and barter trade was too much and coral ain't good enough to serve as money anymore leading them to use bee hive pieces, hard to make and hard to duplicate and soon was used to trade goods this however caused the establishment of the banking guild.
Because of the following events independent groups separated from the kingdom have started to grow in size, these establishments were known as the Banking guild, the Exploration guild, and the Engineering guild.
The Banking guild were influencing the prices of the different products in the kingdom eliminating competition and after stagnating the markets as new products that didn’t have the banks approval didn’t have a chance.
The Exploration guild was using the populous pioneering fever to exploit hopeful individuals dreams of making anew out in the wilderness and because of this the populous exploration fever started to die off.
The Engineering guild unlike the other two was doing useful to the kingdom as they designed the first guns the kingdom ever had, thunder sticks they call it, and it had only one shoot before you had to throw them out because it takes forever to load them.
The guns were important because of the reason that they can finally teach someone how to point it at the enemy and hope for the best in a few weeks and with the kingdom having very little in terms of a dedicated military it was a god sent.
Though the borders were secured for the time being, Jackson is now old and is currently failing health, He and his most trusted friends held a meeting on what to do next as he is now old, this meeting was the establishment of the republic that we know today.
The sudden change of government had caused a few problems here and there but fortunately it didn’t end up into a full blown civil war, and soon the first voting of the leader was held and with Silvius gear (the president of the engineering guild) winning.
After the victory, the former president of the banking guild mysteriously disappeared followed by the exploration guild leader a few days after, all of which was replaced by Dave Phalanx and Frederick Henry all old friends of Silvius.
With the Trading guild supporting small class vendors now reinvigorating the economy once more and the Exploration guild now aiding and training the new batch of explorers and settlers.
After the restoration of the Republic’s vigor, soon several colonies have been established founding horses for the first time, being easily tamable the colonist’s used the horses to quickly transport equipment and goods from and to the one another and back to the Republic.
Soon the horse drawn wagons have been seen in the streets of the Republic carrying people, goods, equipment, and soldiers to and out of places making it possible to colonize further inland.
With the discovery of horses, the army went into a lot of reforms to integrate the horses into their military structure, soon they the Citirus rangers were now acting as scouts along as search and destroy units while the army also established their own version of the rangers called the colonial knights.
The Colonial knights, are the military versions of colonist as their goal is to find suitable places the army can settle in and to help the nearby settlers and explorers though primary settlers they have receive extra training making them a hundred times better than the regular grunt the army has.
After a few years potash was used in the republics farms increasing their output drastically, and honey farming was encouraged and spread thought out the land increasing the farms productivity tenfold as they start growing potatoes and watermelons.
Soon enough colonial knights discovered a herd of wild pigs just a few kilometers of their base of operations, and the engineering guild found out how to turn potash into glass and discovered how to make forest glass from the surrounding trees.
Soon the military established piggeries and chicken farms nearby their camps, and their fortified camps have been used to define the borders of the Republic as they are erect fortifications and multiply sentries guards the surrounding area.
