World of Chaos - Fantasy Crossover Invasion RP

@SillyGoyI actually fixed that up a bit just recently.
You may wish to check my previous post.
I included a "population" stat to account for the non-military people you could have.
Also made the "features" section a bit easier to understand. It's kind of more like a perks/drawbacks section, a cheat sheet for GMs to see how to handle your faction.

Where is the nation sign up

@Comrade Doge

Ooops. It appears I forgot to put that up.

Faction Profile Guideline

Faction Name: (What's your faction called?)
Origin: (which media/fiction it originates from?)
Faction Type: (Are you a country, a secret organization? What kind of faction are you?)
Leader: (who's the highest authority in your invader/explorer force?)
Population: (How many people you have? Mostly this is for your civilian count but it varies per faction)
Faction Rank: (work in progress, the GM will give you this)
Color: (Pick a color which will be your mark on the map)
Assigned GM: (Which GM is governing you and controlling the surrounding NPCs?)
Starting Area:
(Where do you start? You can describe it but I prefer if you draw a dot on the map, yup you're only a dot in comparison)

Faction Introduction
(Introduce your faction to us in brief. who are they? Why are they in Worluk? What is their objective? etc. Keep it brief but informative.)

Faction Features
(What are your faction's most notable features? Speak in general terms, preferably put them in points as a list of strengths/weaknesses)

Military
(Like it or not, armies will have some relevance here. If the faction is well-known just make it a unit list like 10,000 stormtroopers, 1000 Speeders, 400 AT-ST, 50 AT-AT. If it's obscure/fandom/original you gotta explain things more, often even giving a general description of the military NRP profile style)

This is just the "short form" assuming you use a faction from well-known franchises or something which is easy to relate to or guess.
Fully original factions require more than this.
I'll update the OP with even more information within an hour.

@Willy Vereb

Sorry, but I think I have to sit this one out and try my best not to over extend myself (something I'm particularly bad at lol). Best of luck to you tho mate.

@ClocktowerEchos

I see. Well, this game nearly always have open slots for people which reminds me I have yet to alert @Deathsaurer and @6slyboy6 about this.
May as well include players from the previous game, too:
@rush99999@Huscarl@Inkdrop@Dead Cruiser@Okra@Blackmist16@ActRaiserTheReturned@Terminal@Monkeypants@Avalant@datadogie@thorgili@Orcus@Sovi3t@Zadubadabu@Durandal

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!
You were showing interest in my previous game with a theme similar to this one.
http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/85373-braving-the-new-world-science-fantasy-crossover-nrp-co-gm-needed/ooc
If you're still up for the game then I welcome you all!
Of course with so many players I'd also require co-GMs, ideally 4-6 players per GM.

@Queen Raidne@ClocktowerEchos
Notifying you, too.
Let's kick this game into a decent gear!
I also post a few bits of lore here:

Worluk's lore - WIP

- Worluk: The planet of chaos situated deep within the gap between dimensions. It used to be an exotic plane dominated by non-corporeal beings but in one of the parallel universes a human opened a portal to this dimension and allowed matter to corrupt it. Nowadays it's a strange planet within interdimensional space which frequently receives visitors from other universes. This world has as many names as languages yet in other planes and realms it's usually known for the man who brought forth this calamity, the scientist Ivo Worluk.

- Yvorl: The God of Chaos. Former human scientist who discovered and opened a portal to a pararell world dominated by a whole different set of laws of physics. His actions resulted in upsetting the balance between both worlds which Worluk strangely welcome and gradually transformed into the godlike monstrous being nowadays known as Yvorl.

- Mark'Yhennon: Worluk's young assistant who fought him to preserve what little order is left in the world. He became Mark'Yhennon the chief god of Order and the patron of mages. He lives on Yhennon's Isle in recluse, preparing to the next war between Order and Chaos.

- Dimuran: Used to be the greatest continent of Worluk, Dimuran had the misfortune to host the Great Cataclysm, an apocalyptic war between the combined forces of Order and Chaos against the non-corporeal natives of this world called the Mhyor. The coalition won over the Mhyor but at a terrible price. Majority of Dimuran sunk underground while the rest flattened completely and became a sand and rock filled bland radioactive wasteland, lethal to anyone not wearing literal tons of lead as protection.

- Yennon's Islands: The land of Order and the mages, the dwelling place of Mark'Yhennon. The islands surrounding the central one are basically forming one giant fortress for protection.

- Upper Gerondar: The home of Chaos including Stormkeep, the dwelling place of Yvorl.

- Lower Gerondar: Home of Ork and Ogre tribes

- Draconia: The land of dragons and the home of various monsters.

- Jidor: The equivalent of Far East in this world, 10 islands and hundreds of minor ones priding themselves for maintaining their culture for thousands of years now. They're also known as xenophobic and slavers.

World of Chaos - Fantasy Crossover Invasion RP

WORLD OF CHAOS

Welcome to Worluk, a fantastical planet found in the gap between dimensions. It's a magical world populated by drifters from across the multiverse, a chaotic planet with its own conscious and in the state of constant flux. You play as a faction from a different universe, leading an expedition to this strange new world. You meet new cultures, discover new races and experience things which goes beyond your wildest imagination. World of Chaos is an invasion-type game. If you aren't familiar with the term it means you start off in a relatively small location surrounded by unknowns and you have to gradually develop your empire (and perhaps eventually conquer the world). On the other hand I try to make this mostly narrative based and follow the Nation Game format. Which means little if any gameplay mechanics. Which is neat because you can enjoy the game for what it really is, an adventure while you play as your favorite faction.
And yes, barring extreme examples you'll be allowed to use practically any faction. Armies of Mordor? Sure. Galactic Empire? Why not? Metal Gear? Absolutely! Saiyans from Dragon Ball? It can be still arranged. Let just it be said that I have a way to balance things out. OP factions may be still stronger than lower ranking ones but not so much and if you play smart you have the chance to catch up soon enough.
So? What are you even waiting for!?

Game Info

Faction Profile Guideline

Base on its source this game can have 4 kinds of factions.

Canon - Straight adaptation from popular fiction. Short profile covers them.

Alternate Universe - Some changes happened in the timeline which also bore significance to the faction. You need to detail on these changes but otherwise it's the same as the canon.

Crossover - Your faction is the merge of one or more settings. Anything which isn't the same as the originals from either fiction must be detailed on. I also view these with scrutiny but of course decent crossovers are always welcome.

Original - Basically a faction which you made up yourself. It may drew some inspiration from certain fictions but it's mostly whole new creation by you. While not the same but ore obscure fictions sometimes require the same standards because the GM otherwise wouldn't know how to deal with them. Long profiles are designed for these.

General rule of thumb is that short profile content exist when the details of your faction and its capabilities are well-known. When there's something the GM (or preferably even if just the players) don't known, write it down. Of course it doesn't mean you literally have to spell out all the details, just what is important. Compare the short and long profiles to see what I mean.

Short Profile - Zanzibar Land

Faction Name: Zanzibar Land
Origin: Metal Gear
Faction Type: Sovereign Military Nation
Leader: Big Boss
Population: 40,000
Faction Rank: B+
Color: Olive Green
Assigned GM: willyvereb
Starting Area:
East of Malibderan

Faction Introduction
http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Zanzibar_Land
Zanzibar Land is a small but heavily fortified nation of soldiers founded after the conclusion of the Cold War. They follow the legendary soldier codenamed Big Boss who wishes for a world where soldiers are free from the gasp of any government and fight their own wars. At the beginning it appeared his aims to establish his independent nation which no power could remove was a relative success but by late 1999 it became apparent that the days of Zanzibar Land were numbered. That was when they discovered a portal leading to Worluk. Mobilizing all their remaining resources Zanzibar Land went to discover and settle down in this strange new world.

Faction Features

- Army without Borders: Big Boss collected soldiers from across the world and he plans to do the same in Worluk. He can
- Metal Gear!: Like its predecessor Zanzibar Land is known for its incredible speed ant R&D and production of whole new kind of vehicles, preferably walkers under the name of Metal Gear.
- Stealth Mission: Big Boss and his men are infamous for their ability to infiltrate highly guarded areas.
- Military Nation: Zanzibar Land only has very limited civilian population which makes it rely on trade and outside help to sustain itself.
- Limited Recognition: Zanzibar Land's status as a nation is questionable and its militaristic tendencies can give them diplomatic issues.
- What You Believe In: The philosophy of Outer Heaven gives freedom for its people to do what their heart says. Within certain limits scientists and soldiers do exactly what they want and at times even Big Boss lacks any control over this.

(usually try to balance advantages with equal number of disadvantages)

Time in Worluk

Each race in Worluk developed their own time measurement and calendar systems and locally these values can vary wildly. Still, there's a more commonly accepted system which most of the native factions at least know even if not necessarily use.
Their shortest measurement of time is the pulse which magi determined as the length matching the frequency of Essence waves in Worluk. Incidentally (or not?) this matches the human heart rate. Due to cultural mixing any references to "seconds" in Worluk are often actually meant in pulses

100 pulses equal a minute. The naming is influenced by human customs and so it's actually ~ 1.5 times longer than a minute on Earth. So is their equivalent of "hour" which is equal to 60 of their minutes (90 of our minutes). Similarly 24 hours equal a day which is by Earth measurements would be 36 hours instead.

A year on Worluk is 300 days which is divided into 10 months, 30 days each. The length of the months perfectly matches the cycle of Worluk's moon (often referred as the Night Queen albeit simple Moon is also common). Each culture has their own name for the months but the ever-practical ancient Guarni called them as the following:

[1] Prima
[2] Dua
[3] Terce
[4] Quarte
[5] Penta
[6] Sesta
[7] Settima
[8] Octava
[9] Nova
[10] Decime

Similarly thanks to the Guarni's observations there's a certain stellar event of great importance which is repeated in exactly every 1000 years. This is the Covenant of Ice which heralds great chaos, war and also the chance for great miracles. It's the time of destruction and rebirth and some consider it as a way to test the mettle of the current generation and especially the leading powers. The interval between Covenants is measured in Cycles. Currently Worluk is approaching the end of the 40th Cycle.

Faction Introduction:

The Rising Sun

When the Japanese Empire geared for total war against the Allies in 1939, everyone, even herself, expected only moderate success. Though guarded by only colonial infantry, there was no doubting the impregnability of the fortresses of the East Indies nor the ferocity and skill of the cooperating British, French and Dutch navies. China, after the encirclement of most of her professional army near Menjiang and the surrender of the People's Republic, had mostly been child's play after that - an avenue with which to test new and experimental mobility-oriented doctrines and tactics. Japanese generals did not expect to perform the grand encirclements that saw tens or even hundreds of thousands of the enemy trapped and helpless at once; facing Perfidious Albion's notoriously tough soldiers in the jungle was different from surrounding demoralized Chinese conscripts. So when Japan declared war upon the Allies in June of 1940 and announced her alignment with Germany, she braced herself for painfully slow, grinding warfare across South East Asia. But instead, she slapped the world across the face and rendered it - and also herself - absolutely stunned:

She conquered Australia by 1942.

Then took Outer Manchuria and East Siberia from the Soviet Union in 1943.

Then annexed India in 1944.

Then drove up through Persia, Iraq, Oman, Kuwait, even Palestine in 1945, before taking the Suez Canal and landing an army directly into Rome to liberate Italy from British occupation in 1946. Mussolini laughed as he was returned to power. Photos of German, Italian and Japanese troops shaking hands in Florence were on the front page of every newspaper in the world. What a time to be alive.

Japanese soldiers, the rank-and-file, did not contemplate overmuch the ridiculous successes that held so much of the international audience in awe and disbelief. Veterans and recruits alike contentedly said it was because of His Divine Majesty's deeply enlightened rule and left it at that. Those of higher rank and better perception of the strategic image shook their heads, however. There were so many lucky breaks along the path of this glorious conquest, like when the Australians underestimated the presence of the Imperial Navy and attempted to land 50,000 troops to retake New Guinea, only for those poor souls to drown as the air groups of six carriers bombed and torpedoed their transports and escorting vessels, halving their entire homeland defense force and utterly crushing their whole surface fleet. Or when the Soviets clearly had enough firepower to break out of the Vladivostok pocket, but didn't, simply out of doubt. They instead waited patiently for an attack that never came, allowing the Japanese to reinforce, before surrendering on the verge of starvation.

While intellectuals might ponder about the alternate histories of such close-cut scenarios where the defeated simply did slightly better and won, Japan no longer had to rely on fickle luck to assert or expand her dominance. For the year is now 1947, and with her industry completely mobilized for war and for so long, she almost rivals the output of her returning trading partner, the United States. The new American president, Truman, had reworked the foreign policy of the dysfunctional Roosevelt administration and restored the commerce and friendliness with Japan that had been lost in that regrettable embargo. Supercharged by American steel and oil, the dockyards at Sasebo, Kure and Tokyo can now work on five carrier hulls at once while Mitsubishi's new factories churn out A8 Reppu aircraft and Chi-Ri medium tanks by the dozens every day for the Empire's scattered but still undeniably mighty military.

The Allies are on the verge of collapse. Britain lost 250,000 men in Italy and 350,000 in Spain, unable to evacuate them in the style of Operation Dynamo due to Japanese battle fleets patrolling the Mediterranean. Churchill's popularity wanes but he is desperate to reclaim their once glorious empire. Meanwhile, in the east, Stalin fights on four fronts. While the Red Army may have pushed back the Germans all the way to Poland, the Japanese invasion via the Caucasus and Central Asia were nasty surprises that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. Forced to divert divisions from the Western Front to these two new theaters, the Red Army at Hitler's doorstep falters and is slowly being pushed back again by a tired but determined Wehrmacht. The end of an era is nigh. The Axis victory is inevitable, absolute, and breathtakingly near.

Gateway in Egypt

The Japanese invasion of Egypt was a quick, albeit strange one. It had taken only a week and met only comparatively light resistance, specifically a veteran infantry division. Japanese intelligence and high command never questioned the far-off placement of so prestigious a unit as the 19th Mountain and brushed it off as mere British incompetence until their captured officers began to talk. And what they said was very, very interesting. Intriguing enough to pull back the 27th "Kyoku" Infantry Division from its redeployment to the Caucasus.

Interrogation had become an art form for Japanese intel divisions. Gone were the truncheons and the bamboo stakes that went under prisoners' fingernails until they howled out unit movements and troop compositions. Instead, there was food and plenty of hospitality designed to guilt the weary enemy into leaking information, and the method was very, very effective. It wasn't long until the British began talking of a secret weapons facility in the Upper Nile and the Japanese sent agents to investigate. When this was confirmed, a team of specialists was sent to secure the area. Turned out that they weren't needed, however. The facility's meager garrison and craven scientists put their hands up as soon as the commandos made themselves known.

Unlike the other major powers of the war, Japan never enamored itself with superweapons. Nuclear research was slow, and jet engines, even in 1947, were still in the prototype stage. After RADAR, it was thought that there was little else to invent and that energy should be redirected to refining existing technology. As such, the Japanese infantryman boasted the latest assault rifle, and the armored crewman sported the fastest, heaviest and the most deadly tank. Officer's manuals were thick and comprehensive, and watching an offensive on the operational level was like seeing a ballet. However, Japanese pilots and their A8's, much to their frustration, could only fight defensively against Gloster Meteors while outperforming Me 262's swooped in for the kill. And in the sea, the Royal Navy's acoustic torpedoes were making merry hell on Japanese merchant shipping and even the destroyer escorts sent to counter them.

These facts encouraged Japan to hasten their secret nuclear and jet engine research projects, but what they saw in that underground bunker complex in upper Egypt rocked the Japanese military's scientific community and forced them to rethink their conservative philosophies. British scientists, having no personal interest in the war other than government funding and actually possessed of right-wing beliefs, spoke freely of their work. There, in the deepest layer, in a massive cavern that could double as the perfect secret staging area, was a shimmering portal. Octagonal in construction, with the gateway 5 meters across and the same length high, it was claimed that it lead to another world. The commandos' CO scoffed, until he ordered a handful of British personnel escorted by some of his men into the supposed "wormhole," as one egghead called it. When he reported back to high command, an immediate spate of new Japanese personnel flooded into the complex within the month. Doctors, researchers, scientists and their families - construction workers to expand the place and even soldiers of the 27th "Kyoku" Infantry Division. With the facility's staff expanded or replaced, task is now to understand the science, replicate the engineering, and explore the alternate reality to determine its readiness for colonization.

Faction Features:

The Greater Japanese Empire is currently on an exploratory - but heavily armed - stance regarding Worluk. Filtering through the portal will be scientists, botanists, cartographers and other such researchers guarded by elite infantry. They are currently in the process of fortifying the gate's entrance on both sides, and 1/3 of the 27th Infantry Division is planned to be permanently based in Worluk's side of the gate.

Military:

Members of the 12th Infantry Regiment during Operation Downfall in China, October 21, 1939

27th "Kyoku" Infantry Division:
As of now, His Divine Majesty has allocated only the 27th Infantry Division for the protection of Project Chrysanthemum and the exploration of the alternate reality. European Operations High Command will send more units as necessary. The 27th Infantry is a veteran division with participation in the Chinese, Javanese, Australian, Indian, Persian, Middle Eastern and Italian Liberation campaigns. Composed of the 11th, 12th and 29th infantry regiments, and supplemented by the 1st Motorized Support Brigade, the division numbers 10,000 men in total.

The Division is only semi-motorized. Its vehicles are used primarily for transporting supplies and equipment rather than troops.

Due to the small size of the portal, the Division is having difficulty transporting supplies and heavier equipment into Worluk. As such, the first combat units to cross over can be considered as "light infantry," operating without equipment heavier than Type 11 Grenade Dischargers or Type 6 HMG's.

27th "Kyoku" Infantry Division Inventory:

25,520x Assorted Infantry Grenades
10,812x Type 6 Assault Rifle
2,504x Type 5 Service Pistol
2,248x Type 6 Machine Gun, Light Variant
1,636x 75mm Type 5 Rocket-propelled Anti-Tank Projector
868x Type 6 Machine Gun, Heavy Variant
798x Type 11 "Knee Mortar" Grenade Discharger
596x 81mm Type 99 Mortar
66x 4cm Type 7 AA Gun
54x 150mm Type 97 Infantry Mortar
34x 88mm Type 99 AA/AT Gun
16x 15cm Type 96 Howitzer

340x Trucks
800x Bicycles

@SillyGoy

Approved.
Albeit for added fun I may suggest moving to Jidor which is basically the equivalent of China/Japan in Worluk.
You'll fit in with them surprisingly well. Albeit keep in mind they are also one of the most infamous slaver cultures (maybe 3rd or fourth in the line).
