Zaeon Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 OOC: well 4 hours of school with nothing to do (free day) so I guess Ill try my hand at making an rpg...lets see what I can come up with...also excuse any grammar/spelling errors...my brains to busy fighting off the flu right now...Ill try to spell correctly but Im having trouble trying to remember how to spell basic words lol... [Edit] there be happy, I took the time to spell check it once I got home[/Edit] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An Instructor stands in the shadows of a Darkened room Welcome students, today is your last day, graduation day from here on out you will take apart in our society. Each of you has been trained in various subjects to help you. Some of you will observe and record the flow of events. Some of you will actively participate in guiding the flow of time. The rest will keep our people in the field well equipped and with the best equipment the Five Empires can offer. In our society all activates are encouraged. We were formed during the First World War our planet has seen, we watched and took part during the Second World War. We recorded history, and guided the flow of events. We betrayed leaders, made friends with others then betrayed them. You will get attached to your charges, but remember you guide the flow of mankind to greater glory. We were there during the Third World War, and we failed our mission during that world. That?s when our secondary duty came, to save mankind and reteach its history and rebuild it, there we succeeded, as you all know. You are children of a new generation, but times are moving quickly, tensions have built. Through the restorative actions of this societies ancestors Mankind now process technology unsurpassed in any previous generation. Giant star spanning spaceships have been built, some of you have undertaken training to be upon those ships. These ships will reach out to give mankind new homes. The asteroid belt is mined for minerals and ores. Spacestations and colonies exist on Mars and Luna and in orbit around Jupiter and many of its moons. The Interstellar Spaceship Terra-Firma has recently completed construction and will soon set out from the Earth-Sphere Station Atlas to take mankind to a habitable planet in Alpha-Centarui. Some of you will form a branch of our society there, to record and forever watch over mankind. In other parts of space, great fleets patrol the solar system. In warfare space superiority has become a very important thing. Man's grand ocean fleets now maneuver in the grand game of tactics and strategy in the ocean of planets and stars, which I will now describe in greater detail. The largest of the ships would be the giant Carriers. They are typically armed with a pair or more of turret Mass Drivers and a few missile bays. There main purpose is to launch various Fighters. The most notable of these are the hybrid space/atmospheric fighters and bombers many nations choose to deploy. This gives them the ability to achieve spacial and air superiority of a planet in one strike. Comparative in size are the mighty Battleships. These often bristle with guns and can tackle nearly any other ship with relative ease. Cruisers are medium sized ships, many used as gunboats for indirectly engaging enemy ships, though there are some gunboats. Frigates are the smallest of the capital ships, ranging in size from barely larger then a fighter, to about half the size of a cruiser. They come in many shape, sizes and purposes. In planetary combat much remains the same as before. Infantry with protective suits and hover tanks are the core of most land armies along with various support equipments. From the airports come many form of aerial planes, although the most common again is the hybrid fighter, many nations choosing to sue these with the hope that they may be able to repel an attack from space or on the planet. Of many of the weapons used today I will describe some of the most common. As far as projectile weapons go the most common design is that of the mass driver. It is basically a giant chain gun, that fires compact uranium shells, that near the speed of light. These pellets can rip through almost any armor, and woe be to any who get hit by these without armor. Of beam weapons there are two basic designs, one is that of the laser cannon. I believe we all know what this is quite well as it is now also used in land combat as well, in the form of pistols and rifles, even in some of the more powerful nations as machine guns. The laser has been around for nearly two centuries but only in the past two decades have there been a fuel source necessary to power a lethal version that was compact enough to fit in a gun or even on a ship. The other weapon are the deadly Gamma guns. These are by and large anti personal weapons; they fire stored gamma rays that pierce the cells of a life form, causing mutations and often cancers. A continuous barrage from gamma radiation is almost always deadly. In missile weapons there are many variety. In space however the most common is nuclear missiles and bombs for capital ships and smaller warheads for fighters. Defensively capital ships have a screen that is useful for slowing projectile and beam weapons, sometimes even deflecting or slowing them enough for it not to matter, however is of no effect against missiles. Armors are made of Neutrium, a metal found in the asteroid belt, later refined in zero gravity to create a light weight and strong metal, the strongest mankind has known to date and is used in capital ships, vehicles, and armors for the personal suits for infantry. For power supply and fuel most ships utilize Fission and Cold Fusion reactors, fission being the older reactor and cold fusion being the newer ones. More efficient reactors are always coming out. Now I can see in many of your faces why I am reviewing the equipment, well beyond man reaching out to the stars, our system, Sol, is on the brink of war. It is not definite that it will happen, but it is rapidly approaching the point of no return. I will now tell each of you the Nations of the Sol System, then classes will be dismissed and you will each be released into the world with your assignments. The largest of the earthen empires is the Union of United Earth. This union comprises nearly all of the nations that were once apart of the world organization N.A.T.O. It is one of the most advanced, and comprises all of North America, Most of South America, Eastern Asia, and Western Europe. It also included Australia, but as we all know whats left of Australia is now a barren and radioactive wasteland, where nothing survives. The UoUE is a democracy that much resembles that of the United States of America, who founded the nation during WW3 through scheming and alliance. It is currently allied with the Luna Corp. It is also in a rivalry with the I.U.S and neutral towards the Mars Collective. The I.U.S. is the other Empire on Earth. It was formed when many states of a religion once known as Islam unified all their countries then took over Western Europe, all of Central Asia and Northern Africa. It is lead by a dictator who claims to be the descendent of the founder of the religion and the empire lives on religious laws. It is openly hostile to the agnostic UoUE, the two often going into short wars over even the most minor matters. It is suspicious of the Mars Collective and Luna Corp. but is friendly to the Jupitarian Empire. All three of the space born empires are tense with each other, competing over the recourses of space. Luna Corp is a corporation, which became a nation. It is lead by the CEO of the corporation who is advised by the board of directors. They are the most advanced of the large empires, but also the smallest. All members of the nation are employees of the corporation, or everyone on the moon. It started out as Luna mining company and expanded into an entire nation, having a agriculture department, construction department and a defense department, to name a few. The Mars Collective is the Communism of Russia...gone right. It is a true socialism, everyone in it being equal. Everything is government controlled, and things such as money do not exist. Many of the nations are distasteful of the Collective as it often reminds them of an ant hive. In many ways the two are very similar, the nation is the least advanced, but owns an entire planet to it self. Everyone in the nation works for the betterment of the Collective and things such as personal ambition no longer exist. The only area the Collective excels is genetic manipulation...which is one reason why the socialism works correctly, for the population has been manipulated to hear each other?s thoughts and many are genetically designed to do the job they are assigned for life. The Jupitarian Empire is that of the first space explorers. They are humans who are smaller and thinner then your average earthling for they have evolved to the conditions of space. Many have never been on a planet, and most never will be, spending their lives in their spaceships and space stations. Exploration and Research have become a religion for them. The Jupitarians excel in spacial navigation and are valued for their piloting skills. The last nation, the Free Spacers...is not really a nation, now now I meant no offense to those of you who were born there, it is a group of nomads, with man lings of almost every nations, from defunct Collective members to Jupitarians to earthlings, who live together and travel the solar system. Almost all the nations view them with suspicion but they are by and large neutral and willing to help those that will help them. Currently they are allied with the Jupitarians and UoUE, both allowing The Free Spacers to dock and refuel, even sometimes-exchanging knowledge in return for services. I can see some of you have become bored, and for this I apologize, but it was nessecery for me to bring each and everyone of you up to speed, as since you have all been living within our facility for many years, some since you were children. As you all know you were once students of our public face, The school of Eon, which is valued as being the best school for nearly any subject...As you look around you will see that most of you are from almost all the nations, except the collective...the hive tendencies making them in able to be apart of the society...however you may notice that some Martians are from the Free Spacers. Now class is dismissed, many of you will return to your respective nations, serving s anything as diplomats to observers. One thing is guaranteed, you will all be apart of the high society, and you may often run into each other again. The gears of time are turning, and each of you will watch, record, and even take part in where that path of time leads. Each of you will have a symbol on you...for your branch of the society. Remember your goal is to advance and to serve mankind, to begin or stop wars. To bring advancement and survival and to record it for if disaster strikes again. Those of you who choose to work as operations for Society base will report Good luck. The instructor turns to leave as the students are approached by various society members, asking which branch they want to serve and where they would like to be assigned ~~~~~~~~~~~ ok well that was extensive I admit...for those of you who need to be reminded of what you are...(even I did and Im making it lol). Each of you is apart of the Eon Protectors, a secret society that works for the advancement of the human race and it survival. Those of observation record history as it happens and also work as the societies eyes and ears, they also write recommendations on how the society should react for the best of the human race. They move from nation to nation, not holding any real positions, some become diplomats for Empires to better observe things from that position. Operations are agents deployed to persuade history and move it in the way that the society has decided upon, they do anything from joining an army in a certain battle, to becoming a nations generals, to performing covert opts and setting up scandals. Advancement works by and large to provide the nessecery equipment to keep the society?s members on the leading edge and with the best training. They make the gadgets, largely work within the society?s school and bases, and keep everything in good repair. Many become teachers for the society, or set up various labs and shops, so that agents can get what they need practically anywhere. Also, Every member of the Eon Protector has an apartment room within their respective base, for whenever they are spending time at the base and not on assignment or journeying. Now...for the signups Name: your name Course Study/Skills: what you studied in the Eon School and society, and any other skills you may have picked up. Please keep it down to 2 or 3 max. Branch/symbol and location of symbol: the three branches are - Observation, Operations, and Advancement (Research and Development, and Mechanics). Operations Symbol of weapon within a Pentagram. Observation is that of Musical Instrument with a star. Advancement is that of Mythical creature. Also where and how its located, it can be on a weapon, jewelry, imbedded in your clothes, a tattoo, w/e. Nationality: basically what nation you came from and what culture of Human. Assignment: If observer which nation you start out in, Operations what division of the society base your currently deployed in (Eon protectors has two operations bases, one within the UoUE, and one within the asteroid belt. the school is located within Switzerland, which has continued to be a neutral country throughout the centuries.) Owned Equipment: keep this down; basically what you own, be it a weapon, a vehicle, recording materials. Keep it practical. Oh Frigates are the only of the capital ships that a society member can "own", as they only need a crew of 1-5 to operate. Bio: a SHORT history on your character, and a general description. Also might be nice if you included some quirks and traits... Everyone is a recent graduate of the school and a new member of the society, if you want to be something else, PM me and we will discuss it, but the majority of people must be Eon members. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Shawan Starsblood Course Study/Skills: Shawan trained in Computer Journalism and Government within the society. He learned how to pilot frigates and fighters in his free time. Branch/symbol: Observation/ He wears a necklace that upon it is a flute with a star around it. Nationality: Shawan was born in the UoUE. He is fair skinned and skinny, built like the original Terrans as compared to those born in space. Assignment: Shawan is setting out from his flat within the UoUE base, currently just going to travel and learn. Owned Equipment: He has a frigate kept in a garage to his name. He also has a number of small devices for his observation duties, from a small computer to a few spying devices (tracers, bugs, remote listeners) and a recorder. Frigate- can be manned by up to 3 people with a minimuim crew of 1. Shawan spent all his extra cash including some birthday money on buying the best Jupitarian engines and power supply he could get through the Eon facility. The frigate is lighter armored then most to compensate. She was chastened the Meteora by Shawan and Ken. Shawan agreed to continue paying for engine and power supply upgrades as he could afford them and half the repair cost. Bio: Shawan lived a typical life in the UoUE, raised from birth to only have faith in himself and those humans around him. He didn't have much cares and hasn't known much hardship, his family being of the middle class. His father sent him to the Eon School as a young boy of 10 so that he would receive the best of educations. The society recruited him for his open mindedness and his intelligence. He was a roommate with Ken at the Eon training facility and both pitched in together to buy a frigate. He often gets over excited over small things and can focus in on one thing, forgetting all else. This however makes him absent-minded at times, especially when he has "zoned in" as he calls it. Appearance: He is now 18, of a slender build, and generally prefers to avoid physical conflict, preferring to play with people?s heads and use his intelligence against them. He is 6' and weighs about 150 pounds. Often wears a black or white t-shirt with a dragon or other creature on it and jeans. ~~~~~ All right well I hope this works out; otherwise it was fun typing this up. Any suggestions feel free to send a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaeon Posted December 21, 2002 Author Share Posted December 21, 2002 Oh as a side though I figured Id throw in where the bases were... The Eon UoUE base is located on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean that appeared after the Third World War. Located directly Between North America and Europe, Roughly between Spain and the former U.S.A. The society bought the island as a school for maritime teachings and biology, along with naval training. Underneath the surface lies a command center and operations launching point, the dorms of the school also extend beneath the surface for those who live in the base. The asteroid belt space station was bought once man spread to the solar system. It was bought as refueling point for ships heading to earth from the various space colonies and as a school for learning military tactics in space, and various space refinement techniques. Advancement workers, Miners and many R&D operatives live mainly within the space station along with those who spend most their time in space for the society. All society space operations are launched from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
