Discuss Dawn Generation

[Rei_Man]

This is an idea that came into my head a few weeks back, and has slowly changed and evolved since. It's an RPG set in the near future, 2038, on an Earth torn apart by war. The two factions in the war are the Eos Government, an order formed by the unification of all nations, and the Akhra Militia, a large force determined to shape the world as they see fit. On its formation Eos was divided into 3 regions, West (America, Canada, etc.), East (Asia, Russia, Australia, etc.) and Central (Europe, Africa, etc.). The Akhra have been steadily invading Eos-controlled territory since their emergence 4 years ago, and now occupy almost all of Central Eos, Former Europe now practically being under their complete control. The remnants of the Central forces battle the Akhra on land, with the few pockets of resistance that remain, while the East and West forces attack by sea and sky, unfortunately with no significant triumphs. As the war continues, the Akhra continue to develop more advanced weapons and technology, giving them an almost unfair advantage throughout.

The Akhra Threat – Recent Events
The siege of London came to a shocking climax yesterday as the contingent of Akhra soldiers surrounding the city broke through it’s last remaining defences, slaughtering all who stood against them. The city, which was the capital of England before the formation of Eos, has been under constant bombardment for the past two weeks. An estimated 80% of the population have been killed or seriously injured in the violence, and the city itself has, for the majority, been reduced to rubble.
Despite several attempted engagements by what remains of the Central Region Military, this latest defeat has left practically all of Old Europe in the possession of the Akhra militia. With many of the Central Region ports now under Akhra rule, it is only a matter of time before the West Region falls under attack – recent surveillance suggests that preparations are already under way. Though Russia’s Army, with the nation having declared itself a free state, is still putting up heavy resistance on the Eastern front, it’s defences will surely fail within the next few months, exposing the presently unaffected East Region to the onslaught. Some small pockets of resistance still exist inside occupied territory, but no force strong enough to halt the continuous invasion effort.
However, we must insist that the general public do not panic. The EWDB and the Military are doing all that they can to develop new weapons and strategies to defeat the Akhra invasion. Civil unrest would divert our resources from the warfront, and put you, the people, in unnecessary danger. Stay calm, stay focused, and we will succeed.[/I]

Though I have a pretty clear idea of the history of the war, the plot's still being worked on, and it may take a couple weeks to get it right, so I would expect this too soon. I've already decided to divide the story into 4 chapters. The first three, though they will be running one after another, will be set in the same period of days/weeks, on three different fronts, with different charcters. Here's the basic idea at the moment;

[B]Chapter 1 - (Title undecided)[/B], will take place inside enemy territory. An attempt to destroy one of their 'superweapons' and its production facility.

[B]Chapter 2 - (Title undecided)[/B], will take place on the frontlines (somewhere in Central Region)

[B]Chapter 3 - (Title undecided)[/B] No idea at the moment, help appreciated.

[B]Chapter 4 - (Title undecided)[/B] The final part, a culmination of the other 3 chapters. Though it will take place on the frontlines, it will take into account the events in the other fronts aswell.

As of character design, my character for the first chapter is completed, others are still pending. The character sign-up sheet will be pretty much the same for chapters 1, 2 and 4, with only minor differences. As 3 is a complete mystery for the moment, the signup could be different in the end. Weapons will be modern (guns) on the most part, though characters will be allowed to carry a melee weapon as a secondary weapon. Unlike my last attempted war RPG, player characters will be of the Eos Military alone, and not the Akhra.
Hopefully, I'll soon have a bit more to go on, in which case I'll add another post later. Any extensions/changes to information already here will be edited into this post, so be sure to check this post occassionally if you're interested.

Hopefully, if all goes well, I should have another update ready for the weekend.

(If anyone has any ideas regarding the 3rd Chapter, feel free to PM me)
