Order of the Star (NP2: Triton Roleplay Match)

[Guest]

Hello, like Rech's game (which sadly derailed quickly due to AFK AI's rampaging at people), Gollee and I have decided to open up a new NP2: Triton match. RP will be expected, and applications to join will be mandatory, there are six slots, four of which are open.

There are legends from a time long past, of a time without nations, when the galaxy was united by an alliance between all races. These are the legends of the Order of the Star, when warriors stood together in defence of all, and great wonders were worked in the stars. Though the Order held strong for millennia, it was destroyed at last from within, brought low by the traitors of the Night’s Dawn, war engulfed the galaxy and civilization crumbled. By the time the madness ended, all had been laid to waste. The Prism, the greatest wonder of the Order, shattered and scattered over a thousand thousand worlds. For the races of the galaxy, the fallen age had begun.

Lost, and devastated by the all-encompassing war, the scattered races of the Order travelled divergent paths, some staying true to the ideals of the Order, some following their own paths, and a dark few tread the path of the Night’s Dawn.

While the Order of the Star may have been capable of great feats, such technology and knowledge is just a dim memory after centuries of war, where once travel between stars took barely a moment, the scattered races must spend weeks, or even months, laboriously travelling from star to star; the great warp and wormhole networks of the Order lost to the decay of technology.

Terrible weapons were used in the war, entire planets consumed for want of devastating energies, stars turned nova to delay an advance. Such powers are long lost to the wasting influence of time and destruction, fusion has seen a revival in both energy production, and weapons and early experiments into antimatter, and it’s apocalyptic potential have begun in secretive laboratories.

 

Rules of Play (if accepted):

1. Make your name either your faction name or faction leader.

Is there a deadline the apps need to be in by? How many players will be let in?

[Gollee]

There are only four slots, as for a deadline... I'll discuss it with Xander.

Faction Name: Postride

Faction Leader: Palladium Postride XIV

Faction's Government Type: Tiered Council(Supreme Council>High Council>Sector Council>System Council>Planetary Council>Municipal Council)

Short/Long Description/History:

When the Order fell, members of one of the Empire's wealthiest families, the Postrides, attempted to shuttle themselves away from danger in a revolutionary prototype carrier vessel. The vessel utilized advanced warp technology, intended to compress space using immense gravitational forces. The vessel had not yet undergone extensive testing, but it was the Postrides' only hope. Aboard the ship were nearly two million, among them the entire Postride family and their staff, in addition to other citizens able to evacuate. The ship's inertial dampeners were not yet fully functional, so the entire population of the ship, including its crew, were forced into cryosleep. The autopilot was meant to take them to a distant habitable star in a matter of days, but when a critical drive error occurred, days turned to decades. By the time they reached the star, around 5% of the ship's population had died in cryosleep, and many others were injured or otherwise debilitated. Infrastructure was established by scrapping the ship, gutting its contents and setting up intensive subsistence farming on the Postride's new home planet. When hyperspace finally became feasible again, the Postride family established a system of governing councils for each municipality, planet, and system under their control, in addition to a High and Supreme Council, that would macromanage the entire Postride Empire. It took them centuries to get back on their feet, but under the leadership of Palladium Postride XIV, the Postride Empire now pursues enlightenment through the sciences, and above all, recovery of The Prism.

Faction Name: Faeliid Empire

Faction Leader: Sylvia Roseelt

Faction's Government Type:

The government system is primarily a theocratic empire. Rulers are decided by the acting High Priestess and a month-long commune with the gods, selected from a pool of candidates. Class does not seem to have a pattern within these selections, resulting in reduced corruption. Rulers last until their natural demise, Generals are appointed by the acting Emperor, and High Priests are chosen among eligible Cardinals as a majority vote among those of higher faith.

Empress Sylvia

General Maelai

High Priestess Vaelora

Cardinal(s) Baelo, Maessoli, Eirye, Loisua, Nalenu

Short/Long Description/History:

The people of the Faeliid were in dark times after the fall of modern industries and technologies. Nothing seemed unified and all was chaos, unrecorded history and civil wars were common in these times. Then, a unifying force was found in the Kaeliis, the Spirit that guided all of their kind. The Spirit spoke to them, granting Her blessing to specific individuals among their race, promising that they would be the ones to lead them to glory. Splinter factions did not abide by these terms, but it was the main unifying force in their race. As influence grew, as did stability, and with time, the Faeliid recovered from the fractured worlds and stars.

Now, they have recovered in full strength, promising their people and other races sanctuary from the harsh, cold environment of the void. For they believe Kaeliis is the one guide, the one true seer to returning to greatness. Kaeliis, with Her glory and wisdom, will birth life to the stars once more with Her seed, and once again shall the stars hum with warmth and beauty as they were meant to be.

Reserved as well... Are we still playing the old game? I'm actually winning against the AI. No one has bothered to talk to me regarding my status.

Faction Name: The Royale Empire

Faction Leader: LeChiffre Dynasty

Faction's Government Type:

Empire (Not Going to Be Descriptive but.. Emperors and such like Japanese)

Short/Long Description/History:

One mysterious man and another mysterious woman who's identity were unknown gave birth to a child, Vincent LeChiffre. They raised a family life which were busy and kept together, well known of their intelligence. They gathered citizens and putted them to work for the benefit of the economy. Sooner, the citizens and the LeChiffre Family decided to establish The Royale Empire on selecting the unknown parents as the Emperor and Empress of The Royale Empire and thus creating a heir, LeChiffre Dynasty.

The Parents and LeChiffre alone ruled the planets with great expectations. With Great Powers comes with Great Responsibilities.

I'm still playing on it; I was going to help Boyd but they handled it themselves kinda?

Also allow formal alliances and shorter turns please. Formal alliances is nice for helping allies without stomping their ships on accident.

Boyd is losing badly.

[Owen]

Faction Name: The United Edvanite Corporate Conglomerate

Faction Leader: Director Octavian Lars

Faction's Government Type: Plutocratic Oligarchy

Short/Long Description/History: Long after the fall of the Order of the Star, Octavian Lars was born into a wealthy family with large sway in their planet's democratic government. During his early years, Lars continued the wealth of his family by monopolizing many of the products produced on his homeworld. It was during those times that much turmoil was among the lower classes, there was often times violent riots or attacks on the wealthy.

When Octavian was forty-five years old, he was considered a beacon of hope for the masses as he employed many citizens, keeping them fed and "well-treated". During those times, a coup was in place to install the Lars family as the leading family of their planet. The political leaders were assassinated, causing distress and a stronger push for the installation of Octavian. After 10 years of a battle between many of the wealthy elite, the Lars family came out on top of their much less valuable planet.

Octavian proceeded to revolutionize the planet's industry, greatly increasing the quality of life to a standard level. Although the Lars family is in power over their planet, there are a few other, wealthy surviving families that encompass the leading government.

Updated the History of the LeChiffre. Let me know when this starts.

[canon35]

what, only four slots? If so, I might have already missed my chance.

[Guest Complete Garbage]

Owen, LChan, UM, and myself have all applied, so that's four. I'm sure you can still post an app, but I'm not sure if it'll get accepted.

[MagnificentMelkior]

Why not 8 slots?

Faction Name: Mimosa

Faction Leader: Consul Lindoril, a theologian, and Consul Vir, of the admiralty

Faction's Government Type: Republic, with caste system

Short/Long Description/History:

The Mimosan people are a very spiritual race. They are split into three castes, the religious/philosopher caste, the warrior caste, and the common caste. It is their belief, dating back to ancient texts, that life is best lived by accepting one's place in the universe (and caste system), and those who seek to escape their caste are looked at with pity. There are free elections for the senate, although only philosopher caste members may be candidates. There are two consuls of the race, one appointed by the senate, and one by the Warrior Caste's commanders, from among their number.

Having discovered reliable FTL travel, the Mimosan religion mandates that they explore the universe, and "leave no stone left unturned." So they zealously take to the stars, and through peace or through war, they are determined to fulfill their mandate.

[canon35]

Ah, fuck it.

Faction Name: Kushai Hegemony

Faction Leader: Hegemon Crux

Faction's Government Type: (Not really sure how to put it into words, but I'll try) Feudalism, strict castes.

Short/Long Description/History:

The Kushai are a very untrusting race. As a result of the fall, they prefer isolation from others. They see the other races of the galaxy as unworthy of trust and put their faith in their weapons and industry to carry them through these heavy times. Through Kushai tradition (Killing previous rulers in duels) the grand Hegemon Crux, prophet of the newly christened Kushai faith of Behidlin, the Kushai prepare their war gear, light their forges, and prepare their ships.

The age of the Order is gone, and now will come the age of the Kushai.

[Lucychan42]

I was kicked for inactivity because I didn't think it would start yesterday.

Absolutely fantastic, I didn't wait several days for it to start just to get booted because I had prom and then didn't realize it had already started :/

Can't even take over the AI again. Sigh. Have fun I guess this is... stupid. I dunno.

I kind of wish we were doing 24 or at least 12 hour ticks instead of 6 hours, it's really annoying :/

[Lucychan42]

It would've been better if I had an indication the game had started at all. I joined in and next thing I knew I was booted because I forgot one day. Which really sucks because I was super excited =(

[Gollee]

Boom, you have both had your access restored. You are no longer AFK.

[UnknownMurder]
