Warfront: Excessum ex Machina
The year is 2440, and mankind has colonized their own solar system, the neighboring solar systems, and almost all of the Milky-way Galaxy.
When the popularization of local space travel reached it's peak around 2100, the advent of a lightspeed engine allowed our species to spread across the stars like wildfire.
Lifeless rocks were impregnated with Earthborn vegetation and animals, creating entire new worlds which germinated from the initial dome-cities that strewned the landscape.
Countless nations emerged, trade flourished, and the availability of galaxy wide resources led to the creation of massive cities, a massive boom in technological advancements, and a massive surge in population.
Welcome to your Galaxy...
The outer colonies have their own United Nations which works hand in hand with the Sol-Earth United Nations, which conists of all colonies within simple navigation distance of the Sol solar system and Earth.
Then there are dissidents, rebels, pirates, renegade colonies that fill in the cracks and gaps UN-Space Colonies (UNSC) and UN-SolEarth (UNSE) have not occupied or secured.
Many of these pirates have banded together to defend their unrestricted way of life. They are joined by rogue scientists Who are looking to conduct their research unnoticed. Because of this, pirates are often the leaders in prototype technology.
Lack of efficiency and production, as well as their need to resort to patchy scraps to save resources often leaves the finihed work dangerous to use and limited in its full potential.
To protect theirselves from pirate invasions, planetary governments depend on land-based, all terrain, heavily armed assault machines.
You may know them as:
Mechs
Machines capable of giving one pilot the capability to destroy entire city blocks whilst choosing to preserve targets or resources of interest.
The heaviest of fighting mechs is capable of standing against battalions of infatry, columns of tanks, and squadrons of fighter jets. They range in all sorts of sizes, from miniature-unmanned, to staggering 50 story tall city destroyers.
Although formidable fighting machines, Large Mechs are too costly to be implemented on a wide scale, so a regular military infused with medium to personal sized mechs are the current tactic of modern armed forces.
Despite all the resources spent on protection and military might. People continue to live their lives in a regular fashion. They are living the ideal metropolitan lifestyle that accompanies a booming galactic-wide economy.
RP Rules:
Okay, if this sounds interesting you should read this.
I'm pretty relaxed about the approach to this. I do have a general storyline not described above but it's very very loose and allows RP members to pretty much do as they please.
All basic RP rules apply here. Like no god-modding, but other than that, it's open play. I only ask that you try and incorporate yourself into the story when the time comes.
Adapt to it, make yourself fit in, use common sense. I don't want to have to lead anyone by the hand.
Basic Rules
1-Be courteous to fellow RP members, take a hit, give a tap, interact acceptably (no forcing your will)
2-No God-Modding (you're not invincible, you're not all powerful, I AM!!!)
3-Intimacy between characters is allowed, but don't give us the details of it, fade out when you want to do the nasty nasty.
4-Swearing is acceptable, but shouldn't be 50% of your dialouge. Use common sense and moderation.
5-Standard Gaia TOS rules that pertain to Spam, Hacking, password sharing, ect.
6-I am allowed to make up rules as I go if i should need to. (and i hope that I shouldn't)
Details about the RP:
You are seriously free to do whatever you want, wherever you want, as far as your character's story is concerned. Be reasonable and logical, I don't want to see DeathStars or any character going on a rampage. As far as your character is concerned, this Universe is real, there IS law, and the law in this universe will not hesitate to make an example of you. If you put your character in mortal peril and die, that is it for your character. Feel free to make another as you please.
Whatever I say goes here. If I bring a war to your planet, the war is there. But you can approach that problem however you want. Fight the war, run from it, follow it, interrupt it, i control the events but you are still the master of your own fate and story.
I encourage you to stick with the storyline if I happen to bring it near your character. Although you're not required to do this, it will promote interaction between characters and enhance your experience in this RP.
Make an effort to be here. If you go prolonged times without posting, I will assume you've abandoned the RP and will narrate the death of your character unless you PM me with a legitimate reason.
Keep OOC (out of character) chat to a minimum when in the story. I want it in small font, italicized, not more than two sentences long, and hanging off the bottom by at least one blank space.
I will have a seperate OOC chatroom available *here*.
A couple last details before I get to profile skeletons. Pay attention to the Galactic bulletin board you see below. Your character can be whatever you want and is not restricted to a military role (although military or politically related is preffered) as long as you can make your character fit in then it's fine.
and no aliens. You can't be an alien. Mankind has found no intelligent alien species, other than plants and strange animals on few other planets there are no non-earthborn beings in the Milkyway galaxy "yet"(maybe someday, but not in this edition). You can be a self aware robot, android, cyborg, human experiment, or human. No aliens. Any faction you want, no aliens. got it?
I do not have a map of the Galactic Factions (yet), But try to imagine an oval with two circles placed inside, one is the UNSC (Space Colonies), the other is the UNSE (sol-Earth), the empty space not taken by the circles within the oval belong to the Pirate Coalition. The Coalition should have a territory shaped like a curvy warped capital "I" if you imagined it right. Feel free to PM me if you don't understand.
