Hello, I'm working on a fantasy kingdom for this nation roleplay and wanted to show you the area I wanted to claim for my faction. Now I know that the dwarves already own the mountains but I felt that having the mountains be a part of yet separating this nation could be interesting.
How you survived: When World War Three had passed, Europe survived the following World War Four - by simply being too demolished and broken to be considered a threat to those, that still remained to fight it out. During the context of World War Four - those that survived, had managed to band together and reunite what scattered remnants remained. In essence, World War Four provided Europe the distraction it needed to reform in a minute way.
Ships:
Carrier 'Chimaera' - flagship, a giant floating science facility/industrial workshop. Modules: hydroponics, hydrogen manufacturing, cultural library, laboratory, modest-industrial workshop.
Cruiser 'Ice' - living vessel. A reconfigured cruiser that is designed to utilize space as efficiently as possible to hold both people, a small hydroponics garden and a recycling department.
Cruiser 'Fire' - living vessel. A reconfigured cruiser that is designed to utilize space as efficiently as possible to hold both people, a small hydroponics garden and a recycling department.
Submarine 'Leviathan' - attack/scout vessel. An old diesel-submarine updated with a hydrogen engine and armed to the teeth, with cruise missiles, drones and a flak cannon. It also includes a science lab and an arms depot, with the latest human weaponry.
Technology: The European Coalition is based around long-term sustainability, even before arriving in Titania - Europe had exhausted most of it's mineral wealth and had been reliant on imported resources Thus they are heavily focused into recycling as much as possible, from waste and old equipment, to even air and water - as they have no idea, if the New World will have resources that they can use alongside their own. Nothing is wasted and everything can be remade and recycled on board their vessels - including the ships themselves.
In addition, as the last two World Wars devastated the planet and destroyed what remained of normal farmland - Europe had invested heavily into attempts to improve agriculture with minimal space and nutrient requirements - mostly in hydroponics and high-yield, small-scale greenhouses. While also leading the way in using hydrogen for fuel and energy - as they World Wars prevented any meaningful ways of extracting and transporting oil or gas.
Military might: The European 'Army' has around three-hundred people ready for combat operations - since the end of World War Three and Four, many of the armed personnel are former soldiers, veterans, survivors and special operatives. While this is likely a smaller group than what most possess, the Europeans have made sure - that those whom have been designated as combat personnel get the best gear they can; cut-off from politics or red-tape.
History:
The European Coalition was formed from the ashes of World War Three. As always Europe became the battlefield for the superpowers of Earth and the resulting war had demolished and destroyed many cultures and states. Although, the European Union and it's political structure managed to survive by the stint of Belgium remaining neutral in the war and luckily avoided getting hit by the dropped nuclear warheads.
Although, with World War Four quickly following after Europe was left alone to lick and heal it's wounds. Wounds that cut too deep, for any one state to fix. Thus without any other options, the European Union slowly started to restore order where it could and rescue what people it could. However, the nuclear devastation left many entire regions or states almost unlivable.
Still the believe of unity, remained in the minds of many - especially as Chancellor Veronix came to power. As while people were being rescued, whatever works of art and culture and books were as well. The wars might have destroyed the people, but if something was salvaged they wouldn't be gone forever. Near the end of World War Four - what remained of Europe and its people had united into the European Coalition. As works were attempted and re-continued with heavy government incentive and support to try and stabilize the atmosphere and work-out ways to ensure some measure of human habitability.
When news arose of a New World - the Coalition was the first to join the UNE, in trying to explore and colonize the new world, as Earth had become completely unlivable to some. While they abandoned Europe, they did take alongside them several works of art, culture, history and books. Namely while Europe was gone, the European culture that had existed for two thousand years wouldn't be gone. As those that survived vowed to rebuild Europe in the new world.
Name: Rachel Veronix
Rank/Title: Chancellor of the European Coalition
Capabilities: Skilled administrator, politician with a keen-mind for logistics.
Background: Chancellor Veronix had been originally a minor diplomat in Belgium, before World War Three started. The resulting destruction had damaged much of the European continent - the border regions in the East being most hardest hit in the war. With many states having been destroyed or fallen into anarchy - she helped coordinate the rescue and restoration efforts.
As things continued on, without any other form of governance the European Union slowly started to fill in for the numerous regional governments. Until by the end of World War Four - the Union had transformed into a Coalition, with Veronix as the head-of-state for the burned continent united under one flag. However, by that point the Earth had been burned and demolished too heavily to sustain the previous conditions of life - until a new way to a new world was discovered. With nothing to look forward in Europe - Chancellor Veronix put much effort into re-establishing the notion of Europe in the New World.

Yep you can put that in roster. Nice to have you with us again.
I'd be happy to change whatever you need, so just let me know if I need to make an alteration or omit something.
As for the concern with their lost technology, I think it's a nonissue. Bugmen technology has been nothing but chitin spears and clubs for thousands and thousands of years. In an early post, I intend to showcase how fire - what we humans would consider a basic technology - was only ever introduced to the bugmen when humans began to interact witb them. Bugmen have been operating at or even below caveman technology for hundreds of thousands of years. Glad to see you liked the rest of the application.
Wonder: The Red Hive: one of the last functional bugmen hives in the world. It is the size of a small mountain, built out of a plaster comprised of local red sandstone and the salivary excretions of a now-extinct caste of builder bugmen. A number of chimneyed minarets rise a hundred feet up into the sky were built originally to ventilate the Hive Mother and her eggs, but now they serve to maintain a cool and comfortable temperature for an interior bazaar operated by foreign traders.
History: Long before the humanoid races arrived on this world, before even the Otum or Kobtum had learned to stand on hind legs, Titania was ruled by a race of eusocial insectoids known as the Aboriginals. The Aboriginals erected mammoth hive citadels all across the planet, each housing hundreds of thousands to perhaps a million souls. These artificial mountains of plasterized rock and saliva were the only bastions of civilization on Titania for eons. Despite their extensive history, to nothing is known about Titania's aboriginal ages, as the insectoids did not develop writing until it was introduced to them by the humanoid races. Their society was believed to be alien and primitive, even by Titania's standards, as technological innovation moved at a virtual standstill over millennia of Aboriginal occupation. All aboriginal endeavor was fixated on the singular goal of ensuring the continued survival of the Hive Mothers and, by extension, their species.
The Hive Mothers were analogous to queen ants and bees on Earth. They were immortal beings, whose roles were to procreate and give guidance to their multitudes of children. The Hive Mothers commanded a primitive but powerful magic, and were capable of telepathic communication with all their children that fostered a profound maternal love within each of the Aboriginals. The Aboriginals lived and died in glad service their Hive Mother.
But the Aboriginals ultimately failed in ensuring the survival of the Hive Mothers when the Ghul arrived on Titania. Arrivals from another world, or perhaps monstrous demons that had forever lived deep under Titania, the Ghul were sadistic superpredators resembling giant corpulent grubs. Gifted with powerful command of magic and malign intellect, the Ghul easily bested teeming hosts of fanatical yet simplistic Aboriginals and reached the Hive Mothers in the inner sanctums. Their defeat was followed by violent episodes of gluttony as the Ghul devoured the Hive Mothers one by one. The loss of their Hive Mothers was felt by all surviving Aboriginals in the form of an agonizing trauma seared into the consciousness of the entire species known in their language as the Krzgagt: Great Sorrow. The Ghul were not satisfied with the consumption of the Hive Mothers, and used their magical prowess to enslave the leaderless Aboriginals to perform their bidding, whether that meant sending the Aboriginals to war against rival Ghul or simply ordering them to cast themselves into their open mandibles to be eaten. The Great Sorrow ended only when the Ghul had eaten their fill and left Titania, leaving only a fraction of the original Aboriginal population in their genocidal wake.
With their Hive Mothers gone and their population decimated, the surviving Aboriginals were left hopelessly adrift. In the absence of the Hive Mothers' leadership, the survivors attempted to rebuild what Hives remained and care for what remained of the Mother's Brood, the vast stores of Aboriginal eggs laid by the Hive Queens as insurance against catastrophic depopulation. Though millions of eggs remained and could be preserved indefenitely, without a single living Hive Mother the brood was still finite. Once the eggs had all hatched, there would be no new procreation of the Aboriginals. While the eggs could be rationed for a very long time indeed, the species was ultimately doomed.
For a time, the surviving Aboriginals attempted to stave off their inevitable decline by rebuilding their hives and looking to their defenses. But with the arrival of humanoid races on Titania, who were more inventive and aggressive, the Aboriginals were soon outcompeted. The humanoids took to calling the Aboriginals bugmen, viewing the native sentients as beasts to be enslaved or cleared out of the way. What few hives remained were almost all destroyed during the rise of the humanoids.
Today, only a handful of hives still remain standing, and of those even fewer are populated by bugmen, mostly in unsettled and inhospitable parts of Titania. Among those is the Red Hive, situated within the desert badlands of the southern continent. Though a shadow of its ancient glory, the Red Hive is still ruled by the bugmen, who have learned to adapt to and coexist with the humans, orcs, and elves who now occupy this world. The Red Hive serves as a caravan waystation for traders crossing the deserts. Proximity with the humanoids has cultivated adoption of their cultures and ideas, although they are fanatically devoted to protecting the sovereignty of one of the last remaining bugmen hives and what is likely the largest egg brood anywhere in the world.
Word has reached the bugmen of the Red Hive of iron islands in the seas to the north, bearing another wave of newcomers to Titania with fantastic technology. There is some hope among the bugmen that these newcomers could use their wondrous technology to revive the Hive Mothers, a hope tempered by numerous tragedies wrought by new arrivals to the world they once dominated.
Hmmmmm... I like it but, the history got me. There's not much you have to change but, if this is what Titania was in the past then that could be a problem especially the technology they left behind. We can make this work with some of the dwarves having access to these technology but, ultimately not being able to use it in their current state. This would in turn would create a rivalty between you and the dwarfs or you could say that this is what they believe their origins were but, in truth they cannot prove it to the other races due to the lack of their technology laying.
If you have other ideas in order to solve this then its fine with me. Though I liked it very much to be exact, especially the wonder as what was an vital part of your race still continues on to serve your race.
Name: Werewolves are called Shaou Strimider in beast tongue but to humans and soft kin they are Shadow striders
Flag/symbol:
Race/Races: Werewolf kin
Magic: No true magic in terms of spells however the wolf kin have alchemists and shamans. Alchemists are as they are described potion makers able to create potions that enhance the wolf kin beyond their limits to become unstoppable in battle however they can also make lethal potions that when thrown explode on impact and kill those that are weak to poisons or diseases. Their shamans are closest to mages that the wolf kin have, they are able to control plants and vines in the area. However this can only be done on their own land allowing them to work alongside nature. In order for shamans to use their abilities outside their territory requires a pact with the local forest spirit.
How you survived: The clan are in touch with the earth and as such they avoided the rays of lightning. They used the earth itself to protect themselves from the harshest of the effects while avoiding to many losses to the clan.
Technology: Steel age: they use steel weapons and armor and tribal magic's
military might: Incredible military might when fighting on their own turf allowing them ability to keep their home safe from all invaders. Outside their territory they are a force to be reckoned with in terms of a straight up fight, when on solid ground they are able to fight in peak conditions however they loose more then half their fighting strength when in water or fighting air based enemies without shamans.
History: The ancient elders tell of the tales of how their kind came to be. It has been told that they were born of alphas males mating with humans creating a cross which to soft kin are known as werewolves. However since the first werewolf was born they have bred with only the best of breeding stock from both humans and wolves and their own werewolf kind. Through many different attacks against their kind from fearful humans they showed their strength against the humans and subjugated them into servitude and made them slaves the best were of course used as breeding stock while the others were left to do menial jobs.
The key point however that made their kind strong was no physical weakness to silver or any of the other myths that surround their kind and without a clear mortal weakness the humans who were much weaker eventually died off as they expanded their kind. It was after the humans died in servitude that alchemy and came to be as werewolves died to poisons from the herbs their came those that learned to harness their lethalness in their own potions of course their were many issues and deaths from experimentation but after a hundred years of experimentation alchemy became a science that the smartest of their kind became a part of.
Shamans came shortly after as it was told that a young werewolf tried to harvest plants from a sacred tree far from the village that she met the local forest spirit. The young pup was innocent and was able to make friends with the spirit, as the pup grew up they learned from each other and she was the first shaman and as such learned how to harness the power of the earth itself. Shamans were then accepted allowing even the women of the tribe to help out in the cause as women are more in tuned with their emotions then men were. As such they became instrumental to defending the tribe against attackers.
It has been over 500 years since the events transpired and they lived with the land and were peaceful until the portals came and they became part of a much larger war...
Name: Aragonaus
Rank/title: Alpha: strongest of the strong and leader
Appearance: In Werewolf form he stands at an impressive 7 feet tall easily larger then the average human. He has razor sharp claws that rip and rend flesh and his eyes are an emerald green however when he is angry or under the influence of the alchemist juggernaut boosters his eyes turn blood red.
When he decides to go into human form when not to scare soft kin he stands 6 feet tall still somewhat taller then the average human. While most of his body becomes human he retains his wolf tail and arms and sides of his chest keep his wolf fur, his eyes remain green and finally he keeps teeth sharp enough to bite through flesh.
Weapon: mounted arm blades (the closest I could find for my image was this) These blades reach father then his arms and can slice through most armors and if not the sharp point can pierce through them.
Armor: steel plate armor over his shoulders and legs. It is believed that chest armor is a sign of weakness for scars and wounds are badges of honor
Capabilities: He is an unbeatable warrior able to fight any foe and because he is so strong he is considered a great leader for the pack and can lead his brothers and sisters into battle as he leads the charge. He is smart but that does not make him a great tactician.
Background: Aragonaus was born with a litter of his brothers and sisters to an alpha and their mate. He grew up learning to fight and hunt first along with his brothers and sister and he showed he had a high aptitude for battle and keen instincts. He kept fighting at a young age and learned how to fight the biggest and strongest of his kind and as he grew up a few of his brothers and sisters became alchemists while his sisters became shamans or mates to the betas. He however had a higher goal in mind, he challenged his father to be the alpha and the entire tribe came out to watch it as it was rare to see someone challenge an alpha. Aragonaus was a teenager but his father had aged of course they fought ferociously for 4 full days both were strong fighters and they kept slashing trying to get the best of one another but finally Aragaonaus won by performing the first move his father taught him as a child, a classic grapple move that flipped him onto his back and pierced his chest with his claws. His father died with a smile and his final words were "Bout time son" (translated from beast speech). The entire tribe howled loudly and celebrated the new alpha rising to power.
From that day onward Aragonaus proved himself time and time again hunting and protecting the tribe from threats until the event came that made them show a new world beyond their own...
Thw wolf father: He is said to be the very first wolf who loved a human and helped in creating the first werewolf of their kind. His body has long since been gone into the earth but his ferocity was enough that the spirits gave him infinite life and charge him with protection of the sacred tree. He stands 10 feet tall much taller then any of the werewolves but it was believed that with his immortality came the powers of the spirits themselves making stronger, faster, and larger then any beast that would dare challenge him. The only voice that he will listen to is that of the earth mother. When in a desperate situation of being outnumbered he is able to split his being into 5 other wolves each one smaller and weaker of course but note then enough to challenge any beast.
Tree of the earth mother: Said to harbor the very first earth spirit, it is said that all fairies that speak with the werewolves originated from her and her tree is known to be sacred. It is said that if the tree were to ever be destroyed the very forest itself would die. The tree itself stands talls and above all other trees making it viewable even at a large distance. The tree harbors the Earth mother and like the tree she is unable to move from where her tree is but her roots expand the entire forest to calm and help her children. She mashes all the spirits that live in her forest stronger and those that pick roots closer to her are much more potent
Nice to have you here bro you can easily put that in the character sheet knowing that you are going to stay with the same race.
A few days before the dropping of nuclear bombs on the islands of Japan, the spies of Japan received information regarding several transportations of nuclear bombs across a few major countries. The Government was loading everything and everyone onto their latest ships when the first nuclear bomb hit Tokyo so only those who managed to go onboard were safe. The ships actually returned to the islands of Japan after a few years to see if there are any survivors but unfortunately, there were no survivors left.
Flagship:
JRI Yamato(大和) - A reconstruction of the previous IJN Battleship Yamato. Self-defense weapon. Torpedoes, missiles, radars etc to keep the enemies at bay. Nothing too overpowered as only minimal self-defense weapons were allowed when she was built. Fleet Factory. Serve as a place to repair, build or scrap anything like vehicles, ships, ammunition, weapons etc. Harvesters Farm. Produce food and drinks for the citizens. Laboratory. Everything about science and technology. Combined Hanger. Station for the fleets and aircraft.
Two Ship:
JRI Nagato(長門)
A reconstruction of the previous IJN Battleship Nagato, also the "older sister" of JRI Akashi. Nagato was previously a container ship full of resources and equipment. After they moved everything out from the ship, Nagato was redesigned to be the home for The Emperor and his royal family, regular citizens and a few sectors were redesigned to become the school, park, hospital, and sports center etc. The reason for the building of the recreation sectors was because Japan had always believed that humans have to rest/relax enough to be productive, nothing good will come by forcing them. Equipped with basic defense weapons just like Yamato.
JRI Akashi(明石)
A reconstruction of the previous IJN Battleship Mutsu, also the "younger sister" of JRI Nagato. Akashi was previously a fleet repair ship, she was equipped with the latest equipment in case of emergency during any missions. She can also conduct "underway replenishment" of ammo, food, supplies etc for the stationary fleets. Some of the sectors were redesigned into factories for future use just in case. Equipped with basic defense weapons just like Yamato.
Escort:
JRI Shimakaze(島風)
A reconstruction of the previous IJN destroyer Shimakaze. Known as the fastest ship of the entire fleet due to her small size, but she's very fast and easy to maneuver around. Shimakaze has basic defense weapons just like those on the flagship Yamato.
Technology:
The JRI did not focus on the technology and invention of new powerful weapons because of the WW2 treaty. Even thou that their technology for the weapon is lacking, they're trying their best to catch up to the rest now. Medical, biotech, food and agriculture technology, on the other hand, are more advanced compared to their military tech.
History:
After the defeat of Imperial Japan during WW2, a new government called The JRI was formed with the terms of completely disarming the entire military forces. After that, Japan has focused primarily to improve the country's prosperity and harmony. After WW2 with the guidance of the other countries, Japan's tech improved and the industries were prosperous after WW2.
Japan was allowed to participate in the world trade game and she can build anything under only one condition - Only minimal defensive weapons were allowed to prevent Japan from re-arming for war.
Everything looks good for Japan until the fire nation attacked the dropping of a nuclear bomb right above Tokyo.
Greetings fellow humans and monsters others, this is Grand Marshal Mitsunobu speaking. We are the loyal subjects of our Heavenly Emperor. We mean no harm as we Japanese citizens only wished to conquer seek true harmony and eternal peace with each other. We like to conduct inhuman/inelf/indwarf experiments secretly, do not tell anyone. Harmless until provoked.
I like it but, I'm confuse with Nagato. Is it literally a floating palace as I am envisioning it to be. XD
These blades reach father then his arms and can slice through most armors and if not the sharp point can pierce through them.
