Lore Impact (Small/Medium/Large): Medium Team Purview: Human Short Description: A planet to represent most, if not all of Southeast Asia, which may or may not include Vietnam because they're under New Hai Phong maybe. How will this be reflected on-station?: Does this addition do anything not achieved by what already exists?: Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team? Yes Long Description: Personally, I don't think myself of that good of a writer. I'm more of a broad strokes kind of guy, so I hope the Lore Team is fine with me handing over some field notes of what I want to do and handling the finer details. It's honestly why I've been apprehensive about posting this, but I hope it's good enough as a foundation. Anyway I'm going to repost it here for the vibes. MAPHINCI(1).mp4 Primer : A loose federation of city-states on a humid, inhospitable ocean jungle planet, right in the middle between Sol, Biesel and Coalition space and beside the busiest trade routes between the three. A regional power, it wants nothing more but to play the powers against each other for their own devices. History : One of the last planets to be colonized by Sol, before the collapse, populated with colony ships from the last few economically viable states of the Southeast Asian countries, with a smattering of refugees from India and China. Due to the inhospitable landscape and treacherous terrain, they had to congregate into large, walled-off city states to withstand the near constant hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis and deadly wildlife. During the Interstellar War, Sol and the Coalition scrambled from planet-to-planet trying to gain as much control as possible. With an extremely small Solarian garrison present and scrambled Coalition forces racing for the planet, it was swept with independence and revolutionary movements, with each city-state having varying degrees of Solarian, Bieselite and Coalition sympathies. Unfortunately for the quarreling powers, none of them could ultimately gain a foothold as their positions stabilized. They are now under Coalition protection, but they do not have the same utter disdain for Sol, much to the chagrin of the other member planets. Characters : The natives of South-East Asia, Eurasians. Chinese (so you can play a non-Solarian/Dominian Chinese character) : A wide diaspora, those who fled the tumultuous periods of China, to the descendants of those who migrated long ago. Uses Wade-Giles naming convention to differentiate. Indian (so you can play a non-Gadpathurian Indian) : For those who don't want to play soldier. Leaning Bengal/Pakistani/Sikh to differentiate. Diplomacy and States : As close to you can get to non-aligned. Maybe in NBT2 we can actually have non-aligned factionless planets, but under CoC for now. There are actually many city-states on the planet operating mostly independently with a mutual détente between them to stay out each other's internal affairs and government. Some may lean Solarian, Plutonian to be exact - the command economies of the Golden Delta States. Some Bieselite, the interventionist Lightside Technocracy, and others are just keen to buy weapons from the Dominians, such the kleptocratic junta of the Pearl Archipelago. However, they are still united in a bloc to achieve common goals.

welcome back geeves

This is kind of ancillary from the Loremaster stuff, but what are your plans for your Spriter/Dev roles after you get Loremaster?

This is only tangentially related, but I also think some of our older items could stand to be modernized and integrated. Things like tracking implants, which is woefully outdated, and GPSes, which had questionable amount of usage.

If this isn't on the to-do already, the app is absolutely massive. I've had to fumble with it WAY TOO LONG while juggling playing the game. It needs to be shrunk down to at least Crew Manifest App size.

Custom items for myself

Bump. Hangar Tech suits (For TGW) Zavodskoi Prosthetics (for Borya) Grupo Amapola uniforms (for Necuametl) Reade/New Gibson stuff (for Kermit)

Oh, to specify, "unable to be ripped off" should be "unable to be harm-intent ripped apart as a poster would". You can only take it down by using tools.

The Dominian Greatcoat? and nothing else. Pictured below.

Could be a toggle.

I agree.

BYOND Key: Wowzewow Discord Username: alsoandanswer Character Name: Zhong-Zheng Zhao Item Name: Epauleted Greatcoat Item Function(s): Counterintuitively, coded like one of the capes, so he can attach it over his suit accessories. Item Description: A normal greatcoat with a rather dated Parade accessory attached, long decommissioned. Brings a warm nostalgia to some, confusion to others. Why is your character bringing this item to work?: "You know, the first thing that happens in a confrontation is how you present yourself. Having broad shoulders helps." - Z.Z. Zhao, on escalation. How did your character obtain this item?: "I got it as a gift from a family member." What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: "Well, it looks absolutely dapper. Reminds me of home. You know, Napoleon had one of these." Sprites: ZZZhao_Epauleted.dmi Additional Comments: I'm evil.

BYOND Key: Wowzewow Discord Username: alsoandanswer Character Name: Zhong-Zheng Zhao Item Name: Portrait of a Zhao Item Function(s): It's a poster, basically. Except it can't be ripped off the wall. It's a framed painting, after all. Item Description: A painted portrait labelled as "Z.Z. Zhao". Why is your character bringing this item to work?: "Well, the Nobility's got to show some degree of pomp and circumstance." How did your character obtain this item?: He painted it. What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: "Both the Martial and Literary arts must be achieved together - that is the essence of being a true Gentleman. One must master both the Sword and the Pen." - Z.Z. Zhao, when asked about his downtime as a Head of Security. Sprites: ZZZhao_Painting.dmi Additional Comments: Wow. I feel super powerful making custom items for myself.

Thanks for the feedback

Stuck near and around the Not-Pannonian Plain in the legally distinct Not-Austria-Hungary-but-Not-Kinda-Rome, lies a small borderland village. Fertile soil, Virgin (probably) land (totally not stolen). Ready for settlement! The Feudal Society (Departments) - The Rhaetians (Command) Rich from their many gold and silver mines and well protected by their mountain passes, lower nobility come down to rule these peasants and collect taxes. - The Illyrians (Security) Generations of families that have lived in the hills, fighting off the vile Huns and Turks. Their duty is to protect the town, but loyalty can be fickle if the pay dries up... - The Venetis (Engineering-Cargo) Merchants, artisans, craftsmen. Making a hell of a killing selling spices and goods galore. Although, radical thoughts of Republicanism stir within...will there be a free Veneto (Cargonia) one day? - The Umbrians (Med-Sci) Clergy from The Big ChurchTM, they're here to spread the good word of God. And provide leeches and bloodletting to those who need it. - The Pannonians (Service) Regular old peasant folk. They just live here, man. The Vile Invaders (Antags) - The HUNS! Tremble at their horses! (Mercs) - The TURKS! Cower at their great bombard! (Nuke Ops) - The GAULS! Hey, what's that magic potion they have? (Ninjas? Wizard?) The Events - Hey, some smelly man from Germania nailed a piece of paper to the church door... - You know, the Turks have an interesting religion. If we convert, they promise us a discount on spices and carpets... - The Noble With No Heir : Who wants to get adopted? This is stupid.
