Default 2500 (always open, freeform mostly)
It is the year 2500.


Mankind has spread across the galaxy, and using hyperspace modules can cross its entirety in less than a day. EMC - Energy/Matter Convesion - produces most things, and military technology has advanced to the point where everything is basically lasers. Aboard ship, as guns, all use laser beams. Nuclear missiles, though stronger than the ones we have now, are also commonly used aboard battleships.


All is not well, however. There are two superpowers of the galaxy, Earth and Utopia. Utopia, the "perfect" world, was the second planet outside the Earthling solar system to be colonised, and done so by the persecuted of society. And, a century later, it became powerful and with it delusions and arrogance. The leaders of the planet decided to declare war on Earth, and though few battles have been fought there is an eternal power struggle. It keeps advancing its military and strength, and has an empire of over three hundred planets, equal to that of Earthling rule.



You can either be a neutral planet in the Gamma or Beta quadrent of the Milky Way, ruling a planet of the Utopian empire in the Delta quadrent or a planet of the Earthling empire in the Alpha quadrent. If you choose to be part of the Utopian empire, then expect the Utopians to have overuling power if they don't like your plans but also to give you great protection. If you choose to be part of the Earthling empire, you are free to do what you wish but don't forget Earth can't protect you that well if you ever come under attack. If you are neutral, you protect yourself and are free to do what you wish.



I will be playing as Utopia, and the GM if things get out of hand but overall it's freeform.
If someone wants to play as Earth, send me a PM. You're free to adapt Earth and its laws however you want, to a reasonable extent.
Show updates however you want. A news broadcast (my preference) or simply a post, or anything you come up with .

To join:


-Give a description of your race. Are they human? Are they alien? What are their personalities like? Here you have basically free reign, so long as you don't give an alien species a massive advantage.

-What is your planet like? Do your people even live on one? You can set your home upon a planet or a group of asteroids. It's up to you, as long as it's not nonsense (like in a black hole) :p.

-What do you specialise in? Are your people fair and diplomatic, or a harsh dictatorship?

-What alliance are you, Earth, Utopia or neutral?

-Where are you? Keep in mind, though, that if you join one of the two alliances you must be in their quadrent.

Playing

When you're playing, the key to survive will be to advance in some way. Develop new weapons, a mass of ships, new technology, advancing is the way forward. But also make sure you try to make alliances with people, for extra protection and RP. Don't be shy to wage war, but don't get upset when someone does.


((OOC:
Well, I hope this is a suitable RP. I checked through the stickeys, and it was made (but slightly different) on another forum where it has done excellently. I'm a fairly new RPer here - well, completely new to be honest - but I RP a lot on another board.))

Utopian Broadcast


Our new king, King Barzak, has been crowned following the assassination of our former monarch. As his first act, he has declared to teh galaxy that he will not rest until the Milky Way is under the Utopian rulem and expresses that this is not only a desire but a dream, yet a reachable one. He has also issued plans for his Dome of Eternity, his meeting place for major decisions. We haven't been told much, except that anything he says in there will not be leaked to the outside world, on pain of torture and death.


((OOC: Sorry for the short opener, but not much can be done this style in a single player format, not at the beginning at least .))

Uhh, what exactly do we need in an app?

The humor of a story on the internet is in direct inverse proportion to how accurate the reporting is.

Bah! Sorry, like I said I'm used to another forums with a different style.
I've edited it in.

I am not going to lie, I am intrigued by this, but might I recommend you look at some of the actual RPs instead of just the stickys? So you know how to GM here and how to set up your first post? I might make up an app, but this doesn't look like it'll be well run, no offense at all intended.

I have looked at some, I haven't joined since I don't really like being a latecomer to an RP. I'm wokring on a new design though.
