The Electors​

As ordained by the Golden Penguin, one of the major reforms enacted under the illustrious and era-defining reign of the Emperor Frobisher (after whom the reform was named), the electors of the Holy Canterbury Empire number seven. As of the present time, they are as follows:* **

Three Spiritual Electors

-Kirei "Melchior" Kotomine, Patriarch of Alexandria

-Kirei "Caspar" Kotomine, Patriarch of Jerusalem

-Kirei "Balthazar" Kotomine, Patriarch of Antioch

Four Temporal Electors

-Kirei "Lex Luthor" Kotomine, King of Egypt

-Kirei "Takeshi Ruchang" Kotomine, Margrave of Mainland Japan [Cyprus]

-Kirei "Soma Yukihira" Kotomine, Satrap of Babylon

-Kirei "Paul McGann" Kotomine, Satrap Palatinate​

*As per Canterbury Imperial Records, Vol. CDXX, by Kirei "Kinoko Nasu" Kotomine (Astronomer Imperial)
**The claims that all the electors are under the control of an unknown agency or, even more bizarrely, the same person, are baseless rumour, and are classified as Type-Moon Saberist-Mechist nonsense; for which is proscribed death as per the Bronze Bull of Kirei "Tynodo" Kotomine, Year V.

 

[TheGryphonPrince]

Even though with the power back on Equus, the princesses could have easily been mistaked for godesses on their own right, now that they have been transported to another world, their powers have been greatly reduced, but they are still considered far above average from your average pony, or your average human. And while the princesses have been traditionally looked upon as the wisest rulers of the land, Celestia and Luna in particular, as both have lived for thousands of years, they are not so adequate anymore, now that they are in a world where war might break out anytime soon. The princesses still, however, wield a considerable amount of magic, and therefore, considerable abilities above mortal beings.

Princess Celestia

Spoiler :

Having ruled Equestria benevolently for more than a thousand years straight, Princess Celestia is still the spiritual leader of Equestria.

Name: Princess Celestia
High Concept: Benevolent Spiritual Ruler of Equestria
Trouble: Doesn’t Know how to Deal With Humans
Primary Approach: Knowledge
Scale: Personal (0)
Consequences: None

Stunts:

Princess Luna

Spoiler :

In the thousand years she has been banished to the moon, the sister of Celestia learnt to be though, and is now ready to use this to cement her role as the leader of the soon-to-be-resurgent military forces of Equestria. She does tend to come as too harsh to those who don't particularily admire her, though.

High Concept: Co-Ruler, Leader of the Equestrian Military
Trouble: Difficulty Socialising
Primary Approach: Cunning
Scale: Personal (0)
Consequences: None
Stunts:

Princess Cadance

Spoiler :

The Princess of Love cares for all her subjects, and will go to any lengths to protect them from harm. However, she hardly ever had the opportunity to prove herself a capable ruler, in spite of ruling over the once-nominally-independent Crystal Empire, and she can be too idealistic at times.

High Concept: De-facto ruler of the Crystal Empire
Trouble: Overidealistic
Primary Approach: Force
Scale: Personal (0)
Consequences: None
Stunts: Defender of the weak - Can spend Fate Point to boost 2+ (or 1+ for units on a scale bigger than 4) on defense towards other units. However, she takes an additional 2+ stress.

Princess Twilight Sparkle

Spoiler :

The Princess of Friendship is considered to be one of the most intelligent ponies in Equestria, and is known for her obsessive ways of organizing. In addition, she has taken the time to absorb every bit of literature pre-cataclysm she could find, even if she finds the history of humanity pre-cataclysm both depressing and irritating. If it weren't for the newborn Princess Flurry Heart, however, she would be the most inexperienced of the five princesses, and as such she prefers to stick to either helping at home or being a diplomat abroad, rather than leading armies into battle.

High Concept: Princess of Friendship
Trouble: NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD
Primary Approach: Knowledge
Scale: Personal (0)
Consequences: None
Stunts:

Princess Flurry Heart

Spoiler :

(original picture taken from here)

The youngest of the five princesses and the daughter of Princess Cadance. Though Flurry Heart learnt a few lessons in humility during the times of famine, once it was over, by virtue of being born a princess rather than earning the title like the other princesses, she was raised in every bit of luxury she could get on. She has grown vain over the years and the princesses have to constantly keep her in check as to not give a bad example to the rest of the population, but she is also both extroverted and charismatic, so she is often employed for dealings at home and abroad whenever Twilight is bogged in one of her big ideas, which is often.

Name: Princess Flurry Heart
High Concept: A Princess and a Diplomat
Trouble: Spoiled brat
Primary Approach: Charm
Scale: Personal (0)
Consequences: None
Stunts:

Discord, Lord of Chaos

Spoiler :

Discord, you are not a princess, what are you- Me not a princess? Everyone knows I am the BEST Princess! While he has no actual official share in power, being one of the few living beings in Equestria who can bend reality to his will, Discord knows how to get in the way and disrupt those that wish to oppose Equestria. Although he has reformed from his chaotic-evil ways for a while now, Discord can still cause collateral effects even when he is trying to help.

High Concept: Reality Bender
Trouble: Nerfed by GM
Primary Approach: Cunning
Scale: Personal (0)
Consequences: None
Stunts: Chaos, Chaos! I can do Anything! Discord may use his chaos magic to perform an action. Discord will not roll dice for this action and will perform this action as if he had rolled +4. When this ability activates, two Equestrian 0-cost Units will be immediately forced to take 2 stress that cannot be mitigated by other stunts.

 

[poketwo]

Name:THE HUUUUYGE TRUMPIAN MAGAtopian Republic
High Concept: MAGA 2nd coming of the Republic of Sereno
Trouble: Native resistance (mexicans)
Stunt:14D Chessmasters - You may pay a Fate point to add +3 to an advantage roll using Cunning if you describe how Trump used his 14D chess skills to kick of a series of extremely improbable events that eventuated in this advantage being created.
CLAIMS:

Spoiler :

Approaches:
Covert – -1(Leaks still plague the Trump Administration
Charm – 1(Trump is a powerful speaker, brings out the HYUUUUUUGE crowds)
Cunning – 2(Make way for a true mastermind. Trump invented 4d chess, and has already moved on to 14d underwater basket weaving while juggling a bowling ball checkers. Few can even come close!)
Force – 1(ICE and a bunch of US Military went with Trump in the strategic redeployment. This is a very forceful force)
Knowledge – 0(Scientists were not prioritized for the "evacuation" into mexico)
Thrift – 0(Unlike cunning, economics requires a large infrastructure to support. No one man can make a economic Juggernaut, even Trump.)
History:
Before everything, there was a man. A man with a will, the mission, to fufill every promise to his wonderful supporters. Almost every one had been fulfilled, except one. A cunning rusemaster, he knew exactly how to accomplish this. He convinced a poor protagonist by the name of Senpai to cook the HYOOOOOGEST meal for his harem, knowing what will happen. An extra side dish was created, and the universe shook. And when the dust settled, the man smiled. The Donald completed his final task, to make anime real!

However, there is always a cost to such actions. Soon in the Great U.S.A, chaos struck! Hordes of various monsters poured into the east of the Mississippi. Chaos filled the nation as they established their dark dominoun in the east coast. Even the White house had fallen, though strangely, trump was absent. The northeast escaped this, but due to another threat. In NYC, the army of the alien General Strum and BLACK HOLE. The mechanized forces quickly took the city, even Trump Tower! Yet, Trump was not here either? Where was he exactly? Easy, down at THE WALL.

Trump had made a batam plan when this happened. He had stayed along the most heavily fortified fortification the world had ever seen. THE WALL was garisoned by a hyoooooge amount of U.S army personel and border-patrolmen. Trump knew that he had to find a new place to.....Reorganize the United States to prepare for the reconquest of AMERICA. And so, he set out with 45 men (in prot) ICE troopers to take a portion of mexico. Using his massive cunning, he quickly took over Baja and Sereno, and so the tide poured in. US military personel and various other tough dudes quickly invaded mexico, anexing it into the US rump state. And millions of die-hard trump supporters followed, colonizing the area into a strong american province. Parts of Central America were also taken, but Trump knew that stretching his forces would not be a 5-d jango move. And after the duty was done, Trump announced the creation of his great dream. A United and strong America, that could take such threats like the beast-men and black hole like they were nothing. A America that was an industrial and service Juggernaut. A even greater America. The MAGAtopia. And millions cheered at the rise of their great leader!

 

[Robert Can't]

The Rt Rev Harry Luthor, Archbishop of Canterbury​

Harry Luthor, rightful successor to the Emperors of Canterbury and Rome, is a well mannered and happy leader with an easy-going personality. he loves croquet and hates posers. He worked his way up through the ranks of the clergy from humble origins as the son of a tabletop GM and her husband, a designer of flags. Since rising to the position of Archbishop he has tried to pursue relatively cordial relations with the fractured remains of the once might Canterbury Empire spread throughout the Mediterranean and though he does not recognise their legitimacy as empires he respects their existence as sovereign states.

George Brody, Emperor of Italy​

Emperor George is the figurehead ruler who's hereditary origins have made him very suspicious of other claimants to the Cantabrian succession. Since the ascension of Luther the two have clashed multiple times over foreign policy.

Prime Minister Donald Ruchang ​

This is Donald Ruchang, Prime Minister of Canterbury. He made a name for himself during the wars over Mainland Japan (Cyprus) in which he was responsible for significant gains in the early stages of the war but after a coalition of HCE princes descended upon him he was forced out of the island. His second invasion (Code named Demon Fish) was spearheaded by his ally the Prince of Istanbul who died on the beaches causing it to be an abject failure. Prior to a third invasion infiltrators from the Gamer Society killed most of his soldiers by poisoning the food supplies. This led to a quick peace with the coalition of princes.

Following the war he entered the political scene after marrying the Emperor's niece (Which many people called a political move) and despite being on a honeymoon in Cambodia in the weeks leading up to the election he won a significant victory over his poor rival Rubio.

Politically he is more right leaning than his main opponent and he believes in government spending as a reasonable thing. He also likes to support public services such as healthcare. He has a very isolationist foreign policy which clashes both with the Archbishop and the Emperor.

Robert Rubio, Leader of the Opposition​

Robert Rubio is the leader of the opposition against Ruchang and has a very low opinion of the prime minister. His hobbies include fishing and seizing the means of production. He likes bread and has never stolen any second hand coats.

The Rt Rev Herbert Leighton, Archbishop of Rome​

The other Archbishop. Unlike Luther Leighton has very little temporal power and is more responsible for the spiritual wellbeing of the nation. Before joining the clergy he enjoyed a brief career as a tea merchant and has long held very strong views on the subject. He does sometimes lean into the political sphere when tea is being discussed but otherwise stays out of temporal affairs.

Minnie "The Woolf" Maxine, Guardian of the Grail​

Born to a zookeeper for a mother and a civil servant as a father. Maxine was always adventurous and had an eventful childhood. One key moment in this childhood was uncovering the Holy Grail and used it to save the life of one of her school friends who had been cursed by an elder god.

Since leaving school she came to the attention of the government who she wholeheartedly supports. It seems she has some extremely strange and unnatural powers which are very useful in her role as Guardian of the Grail. Rumour has it she is immortal and indestructible and the only person who could ever beat her was that same god who cursed her classmate all those years ago.

Lord Hughes, Chancellor of the Interior​

Lord Hughes manages the covert activities of Canterbury. He is secretive and so not much is known about him.

THE CARAVAN​

High Concept: ALL HAIL IMMORTAL CHAIRMAN SOROS​

Trouble: All the white qualified government workers were expelled from the land reclaimed by the caravan and as a result our anarchist totalitarian government lacks organization. At least Daddy Soros won't have to deal with bureaucrats

Stunt: Antifa Supersoldiers and Honduran-ISIS Thugs steal jobs from white people good professional Americans. (+2 bonus to thrift any turn following a successful attack against white people)

These are the current "borders" of the Caravan. Within these borders rational skeptics who just want to protect free speech are BRUTALLY SUPPRESSED. The anarchist government WILL STEAL YOUR TOOTHBRUSH AND ALL OF YOUR PLASTIC STRAWS. Big boi diaper babies ARE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO HOLD RALLIES ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES. It is basically the perfect neo-Marxist postmodernist globalist nation. And every. Single. Citizen. Is an immigrant.

Covert: -1 (Sadly, the Antifa spy program is quite unsuccessful. It seems they can't help but blow cover immediately whenever the people they're spying on say something super racist, and they react with POLITICALLY CORRECT JARGON.)
Charm: 1 (For some reason the REPRESSIVE ANARCHIST GOVERNMENT has mass public support.)
Cunning: 0 (MACHIAVELLI WAS A PROTO-FASCIST)
Force: 2 (They are literally JACKED despite their 100% soy diet. They will ACTUALLY SUPPRESS your speech with a PUNCH if you throw bananas at black people.)
Knowledge: 0 (Despite controlling the universities, ideological factionalism has prevented the Marxist academic muscle from fully flexing on the gamers so far.)
Thrift: 1 (They have somehow built an extremely efficient economy even though COMMUNISM IS AGAINST HUMAN NATURE.)

THE LEGIONS OF HELL

​

High Concept: Hell's Invasion of Earth

Trouble: "Limited Support from Hell"

So like, we're literally Hell, like that sould be the obvious trouble, but also overcrowding in hell, like there is literally No More Room in Hell, but someone else is doing the zombie thing so yeah, demon army time. Anyways, there is just too many sinners, and you [tier-2 swear word]ing humans can't stop making things up about us - you know that every time you come up with a new version of Hell or interpretation it only becomes real right? Like we're running out of space down here, the least you can do is give us some land to deal with all of the new demons you keep imagining up.

Actually, you know what, that's Hell's real problem, it's not the fact that we're hell, or that we're overcrowded. Its the fact that you Humans can't stop imagining new Hells, and NONE of them get along. Like we barely scraped together enough support to start this invasion, let alone have the resources to continue it.

Stunt: Portals to Hell - While the Invasion has just begun, there are multiple physical locations on the Earth that connects to the underworld - Primarily the Darvaza gas crater in Turkmenistan, which also acts as our "base of operations" on Earth effectively making it our capital. Functionally this means our units can quickly and easily be moved across the planet, and our demonic mages can create new portals to invade other places we don't directly border as well.

Granted I guess if another country obtains access to one of these portals they could also invade Hell... maybe... I'm not even sure what would happen if someone tried to invade hell though... Probably not good things, dunno. I mean most humans down there are already dead soooo yeah.

I mean we're also demons so maybe it makes more sense to have a stunt related to that like I dunno, demonic magic or weapons or something... We'll think about it.

Map:

(I know some of these claims are overlapping with other people, let's discuss this more, I just really liked the idea and wanted to put it out there)

Approaches:

Covert: 0 - Oh sure some demons can do sneaky stuff, sometimes people are just oblivious, like how King Zøg thinks I'm a cat? Anyways that detail isn't important, generally not our strong point.

Charm: +1 - Ever heard of a succubus? Or ya know a Faustian Bargain?

Cunning: +1 - I mean three words really: plots within plots

Force: +2 - We're Literally Demons, like... I'm not sure how else to explain that demon warriors are usually... ya know pretty [Tier-1 swear word] strong?

Knowledge: 0 - I mean sure, Hell has a lot of demonic sorcerers and the like, but also we're not any special with this.

Thrift: -1 - I mean, how do you want me to justify this? Like what? Three of the deadly sins are Greed, Sloth, and Gluttony, that doesn't really sound all that thrifty to me.



Characters to come later (TM)

 

[NinjaCow64]

@inthesomeday I was thinking that it would be a good idea to abandon your Mexican claims for the sheer irony of your nation being in the US and Trump being in Mexico. You can have more American land to compensate though.

Also, do you have a Discord account?

Talon​

​

(What? You expect the guys at Blizzard would offer Talon's own theme?! )​

Name: Talon

High Concept: Nation state terrorist organization

Trouble: Might Makes Right

Government:

Oligarchic Criminal Organisation. This Government is a unique form of oligarchy that's more organized and professional than a Bandit Commune. The Government is government is organised like a massive crime syndicate, where the strong prey on the weak and any neighboring states are seen as opportunities for their goals. The governing body is the Talon Council; Which consist of Amélie "Widowmaker" Lacroix, Olivia "Sombra" Colomar, Moira O'Deorain, and Admiral Lee Petrovsky and General Marz Dornan.

Capitol/HQ: Singapore City

Stunt: Widow would like to show you her design of an old Coruscanti Railgun Killsat she found after Sombra hacked CFC's servers

Killsat Doctrine - When Talon makes an attack using orbital bombardment from space, Talon may spend a Fate point to give +3 to the attack

Approaches:
Covert: +2 (Who would thought you could inflict major damage to your opponent in a global scale war by just pretending to have a German accent)
Charm: -1 (Setting the world on fire hasn't helped our PR)
Cunning: +1 (One word, Widowbutt)
Force: +1 (While we fight a shadow war, we still need a standing armed forces)
Knowledge: 0 (If only Moira had access to her high tech equiptment, oh well we'll make due with the basics)
Thrift: 0 (Ahh you thought China was a producer of really cheap goods. NO! It's India Talon cause I got a million guns boys! Come get one!)

Background: Was there even an Overwatch in IdIOT?! All I remember was something something Nationalist Republic of Coruscant or some crap. I think the tradition was to build off of some catastrophic event that caused present day 2018 Earth to have a blank slate for all of us to play on. Well here goes nothing...

Before the world was unleashed in nuclear fire by Gandhi's nuclear attacks to stop the Droid army of the CIS a growing Omnic crisis, Talon was established before the downfall of Overwatch with the goal of strengthening humanity through conflict , cause war, war never changes.

After the dust have settled, Talon established itself with it's base of operations in Singapore and it's core territories in Indonesia and the Philippines and establishing a central government with the Talon Inner Council lead by Widowmaker. The next goal in strengthening humanity through conflict, is to set the world on fire again.

Oh and some dudes from the Enclave are tagging along cause we felt bad for them getting their butts kicked.

Claims:

 

[NinjaCow64]

Oh my god I completely missed the Trump nation. My god I would’ve already done this if I’d seen it, my bad. And yes I do. How come?

Just that generally I communicate with people over the IOT Discord Server. If you have an account and are a member then just ping me in the #idiot2 channel.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

"Comrade, why are we lime green?"
"You see Ivan, if a colourblind Soviet reads the map, we will be indistinguishable from the USSR! Also there is too much yellow already."​

High Concept: What if Ukraine won RCW?
Trouble: No-Gulag November

Covert: 2 — He can run and plot at the same time!
Charm: 0 — Should've aired out his loafers before that UN session...
Cunning: 1 — More agile than Koba's cavalry mafia.
Force: 1 — CHERVONA ARMIYA VSE SYL'NISHEEEEEEE
Research: 0 — Most of the competent scientists defected over orders to incorporate corn into everything.
Thrift: -1 — Nepotistic profiteering contracts resulted in miles of useless walls, alternative medicine centers and a vast navy.

Stunt: Market Saturation

Flood the market with corn exports to boost Thrift and generate trade dependency in other countries. What if Thailand was the real socialists???

Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev

"Yes, comrades, I know it has a very familiar shape..!"​

Born to a gloriously proletarian family, trained in the art of mining and factorying, the Saviour of Mankind attended his first strike action at age 20 and quickly joined the socialist movement sweeping Eastern Europe. While his political career jump-started in Russia, his heart always lay firmly in Україна, and after Stalin "accidentally " bumped off all the Mensheviks and Trotskyists, Khrushchev departed to lead Europe's Breadbasket to a bright new future and 80 gorillion less starvations. Unfortunately, in between inciting communist revolution and destroying the Degenerated Workers' State, he only managed four years' formal education, resulting in most of his foreign and domestic policy orbiting around unhealthy fixations on bluffing nuclear brinkmanship and massive corn farms, respectively.

Rodion Yakovlevich Malinovsky

"No, Comrade Khrushchev, refusing to honour your 2-for-1 coupon is not a valid pretext for nuclear war..."​

Designated Only Sane General Staffer, as Commander-in-Chief and Minister of Defence Marshal Malinovsky is responsible for crafting the Ukrainian armed forces into the very model of a modern major milita...ry (sorry, it sounded better in my head), largely through sheer force of will—no small feat, given most of the country is farmers. Malinovsky also plays a vital role in tempering the General Secretary's more delusional strategies (to varying success), such as the plan to achieve strategic weapon supremacy through mass-production of intercontinental ballistic corncobs.

Nestor Ivanovych Makhno

"Once you go Black, you'll never go back."​

Distinguished as the closest thing to an unperson the government can brand you short of a Russian, Nestor "Kill all Whites" Makhno is a notorious anarchist and Master of Antics, plaguing the southern half of the country with better schemes to redistribute the wealth than the Politburo's. Despite numerous attempts to bring him to heel, he has consistently evaded capture with his souped-up tachanka fleet, which can truck to Moscow faster than iSorrow and doesn't need Motorized research (read: totes OP pls nerf kthx).

Mustafa Abduldzhemil Dzhemilev

"Oh, the Russians feel oppressed? How long was Putin barred from his home?"​

A pretty humble guy. Has lived in Crimea his whole life. Thank Marx that petition to join Ukraine back in 1920–something resolved without incident. Man, wouldn't it have sucked if Stalin had been in charge, evicted all the Tatars from the peninsula, and then they couldn't come back 'til two years before the whole USSR collapsed? As Chairman of the Crimean Mejlis, Dzhemilev is entrusted with the power to summon ancient Tatar magics (but only when it aligns with the paradigm of Socialist realism).

Hirohito

"You can't imagine how much more work I had when I was a god."​

Emperor of Japan by birth, marine biologist by passion, no-one really knows how he wound up in Ukraine, much less why the Communists let him stay. He is, however, one of the few remaining published scientists living in the country, plus it's a universal law that Hirohito is present for every alt-history and Japan already capitulated to the animus. He enjoys long walks in the park, discovering freedom in England, and not being surrounded by a bloodthirsty general staff.

Claiming Australia. Will have signup post asap.

Try #2 at this. This signup overrides basically everything in the past one. Mostly.

Name: The Alfian Lake Lakeocracy

High Concept: Awakened Lake Elves Hate You: We have slumbered for a ten thousand millennia, peaceful and serene as we are; but then, suddenly, this "Senpai" created what is called a "side dish" and he once more gave life to us. A thousand million bloodshot eyes came out of the water, awakened once more, because of this person's actions.

The only conclusion is that we must end this farce, once and for all.

Trouble: Humanity!: This "Senpaii"'s offsprings and their related races are all around us, and maybe, if we wage a brutal conflict against them, we could get the bastard who did this terrible act of creation.

Stunt: The Lakes, They're Alive: The forces of the Lakeocracy can travel through the lakes of this forsaken world.

Covert 1 - You're just swimming through your lake or maybe even your river, when suddenly, BAM, someone rips off your legs and you horribly die.

Charm -1 - The Alfians think that they're the most beautiful and pretty things to exist - which, while, objectively true, does not reflect in the way they act, mostly because they're murdersome psycopaths who want to murder you.

Cunning 0 - They're smart. Like a snake. A snake that can come out of the water. A snake that is also capable of casting spells.

Force 1 - Alongside with us, a race of sentient starfish warriors emerged out of the waters, who were also very pissed off about being awakened by some goddamn [tier-1 swear] idiot.

Knowledge 2 - The power of magic is within our fingertips and we're not afraid to use it to end this nonsense!

Thrift 0 - Magic doesn't really make you thrifty, I guess.
