[Tani Coyote]

Wow..

Welcome to the game regardless.

 

[GenMarshall]

Hmm, I might claim what would be the former New England. Though if possible to have a human majority (Since I have as the background for mines as Vault Dwellers coming out of the vaults, think Fallout series)

Though being a ninja, not sure if I can have a Shinobi Clan or just start my own.

 

[Tani Coyote]

New England'd be a perfect place for a majority human society; it's where the majority of humans/overlanders live in the comic universe.

Shinobi refers to the Shinobi Clan of Chameleon ninja in the Dragon Kingdom. Rival ninja clans being the Yagyu(bats), Raiju(lynxes), and Gossamer(spiders). Shinobi are known for espionage, Yagyu for theft and pillaging, Raiju for aggression and ferocity, and Gossamer for working with prophecies.

History:

After many years traveling in generationships. The human colonists from Earth have finally landed in an uncharted planet, though the planet itself is very vaguely familiar to many of the colonist. Almost to the point of causing a "Planet of the Apes" scenario. However, they came to not expect to see sentient creatures on the planet. The first contact was met with surprise and curiosity, though had to take time to gain trust of the locals due to the friction between the Mobians and what they term "Overlanders".

 

[Tani Coyote]

Excellent, another nation!

A bit of a factoid:

While humans and overlanders are similar in appearance(Overlanders merely have four fingers rather than five), their attitudes towards Mobians are vastly different. Overlanders grew up alongside the Mobians after the planet Earth was ravaged by gene bombs ages ago. Constant warfare has made the two races hate eachother.

Humans, by contrast, exist in those scattered settlements around the globe, having found some way to avoid the gene bombs. Due to being humans that survived the original Apocalypse, they are not only advanced, but also far more tolerant than the generally-racist Overlanders.

---

As for setting, I've decided that, more or less, this IOT should take place after the Xorda assault wiped out the humans, as Mobian life finally began to evolve...

Unless you'd all rather we'd make this a SECOND apocalypse's aftermath. Either one works for me.

Dominion of the Redeemers

Spoiler :

A confederation of human colonies whose people hail from lands that ruled the world in times long past. Its people are devoted to recovering the splendor of human civilization. Fascism runs rampant based on the belief in human superiority, and a new society has arisen whose culture imitates that of the ancient humans as best as it can. However, the majority of information about ancient human history has been lost to the ages. Much of what has survived are stories of valor and glory on the battlefield, giving rise to an extremely militant society. Frequent combat with the overlanders has only increased this. As overlander raids became common amongst the struggling colonies, the people's hearts were hardened towards the overlanders, who are widely viewed as subhuman beasts. These conflicts are what eventually led to an increased sense of unification amongst human colonies and the formation of a central government. Once united, the humans utilized their advanced weapons technology to crush the overlanders, who were enslaved. The same fate soon came to the mobians. After a large slave revolt, the populace's fears of the mobians grew, leading to their expulsion from the Dominion, upon penalty of death. This new civilization is built on the back of slave labor, and held together by the belief in human superiority, and thus, it is illegal to have a child of mixed human and mobian or overlander blood. In the rare instances that this does occur, the child is doomed to a life of slavery, and the parents are executed.

Government- Autocracy, ruled by Emperor Link
Economy- Socialist, with many social programs, and a vast legion of slaves owned by the government
Military- Emphasis on highly trained, human soldiers with advanced weaponry. The overlanders have poor weaponry and supplies, and function mostly as cannon fodder.
Capital- Novus Roma
Language- Many different dialects of former human languages, with Humanspeak as the official language. It is based mostly off ancient Latin based languages.
Currency- Denarii, in imitation of one of one of the most successful ancient humans civilizations
Religion- Ancient human religions are revered and studied, and their holidays are celebrated, but the majority of the populace view religion as obsolete and are atheists
Color- Green

Since Link didn't give a capital name, I've named it "Homo Magnus" (Great Man) and put it smack dab in the center...

===

Everyone else, please decide how much of your ten free units will be army/navy, and where your 10 income will go.

 

[Link]

I get military 1, 3 armies, and 2 navies.
Set my capital as Novus Roma, in my 3rd northernmost mainland province.

Capital: Santhiago (near the site of former Santiago de Chile)

Ethnic Breakdown: 78% Mobian, 16% Human, 6% Overlander

Government: Confederation of autonomous city-states, most of which are mercantile republics, but some are principalities or democracies. Most are ruled by Mobians, though a few are ruled by humans. Each state sends representives, democratically-elected or otherwise, to the Confederal Congress in Santhiago.

I'll update this post as I go along...

 

[Tani Coyote]

Wait, I thought that you can't claim Angel Island

You can't; can you imagine trying to claim the clouds with a galley at sea level?

Link had 11 territories anyway.

@ TK:

I was wondering when you'd show up! Your status kept saying you were writing a reply yet you'd keep poofing.

---

Anyway! This brings us up to nine players. Personally, I was expecting Tailless to choose Downunda. Is that a horrible stereotype?

The State of Santhiago is ruled by an expatriate Downundan (Sebastian of course. Or rather, I'll make it someone who looks like him and with the same name. I don't like my characters jumping between universes ).

Also, I'm of the opinion that Downunda is a terrible name for a country. If they want to mock Australian pronounciations they could've gone with Stralya.

 

[Mathalamus]

since when did the overlanders exist? anyway, now that i am fully rested and regret eating 4 slices of pizza, lets get this game started.

Expenses: buy econ 1, use the rest to recruit one army.

anythign else i need to do?

 

[Tani Coyote]

Nope, you're good.

 

[Mathalamus]

oh good. for the record, i'm not going to change anything about my nation. and i would like to thank you for providing a nice name for New Moscow.

 

[Tani Coyote]

You're welcome.

Prospective Players:

-Domination(Don't worry, the CB system will keep him under control and you're all free to attack him if he gets aggressive(belligerence CB))

-ilduce

-Aiolos (Liked Sons of Mars and did seem to show interests in IM)

-Mad Man (He's a forum gamer + he's in the Sonic group so maybe?)

Invites have been sent!

---

In the meantime, I'm designing a few NPCs, but they won't be as numerous as Sons of Mars' by far. At MOST, there will be one per human player. Unlike you know, the 4-5 per player Sons of Mars had going on.
