Inspired by Galactic Conquest, which was in turn inspired by Galactic Empires, which was in turn inspired by the OTHER Galactic Empires. As such this will be plot driven with some amount of freedom.
In the aftermath of the great Terran rebellion the known Universe has been plunged into the chaos that comes with freedom. The Terran Empire, once spanning galaxies and the most powerful military force known to all species, has collapsed. In its wake hundreds of smaller empires have risen up to take charge of their own destinies. Countless more that had existed on the peripherals of the Empire are now free to meddle as they please. This is a tumultuous time where one alliance, one nation, one battle, one man, can steer the course of trillions into salvation or perpetual conflict. In particular, one being is stirring, turning its baleful gaze on a Universe no longer united...
Rules
lmao who needs 'em
k actually follow the rules, don't be some overpowered ass in technology or in size, if you happen to find a loophole in science that makes you unstoppable don't use it.
The scale of this is intergalactic but no one nation will start off controlling more than 1/2 of a galaxy.
No immortal species, eternal characters are allowed(live forever but can be killed in battle)

---------------[OFF TOPIC!!]------------------------------------------------
Hmmm, I remember one particular RP about galactic empires at the Minecraft Forum. I was usually goes for more technology progressions and some events that was happening in my empire than creating a full fledged storytelling. Not only I was doing that in order to liven up the RP and quite interesting at the same time, everybody else does that too because of simplicity compare to the generic ones. As I was fiddling around to improve my empire, it has reached 400 worth of pages filled with events in the end due to inactivity. This particular type of RP that are very unique and innovative, which is really doesn't use too much of in-depth hardcore novel writing that any expert RP'ers do in order to progress future story-line. (as you know, it was newbie's friendly.)

Character
------------
Name: Ahmun Ble-Res (pronounced; Ah-Moon Blee-Res)
Age: 72
Appearance: Ahmun is a medium-height being, 5-foot and 9-inches to be exact, who is shaped of medium, thin build. Ahmun's body, and head, is covered from the top of the head to halfway down the feet by a dark brown robe which completely shadows the face. Not many people, living, can describe the face of a Corus-Sapien. All that is known is that whatever is beneath has dark, dark skin of dark purple colour. The eyes glow orange like a burning fire and the teeth are as sharp as a sharks teeth, but yellow. Ahmun, and the rest of the species of Corus-Sapien's, are known for wearing matching gloves and boots, made of some kind of red animal skin and carrying a sword. The style of the crossguard, on the sword, pictures two skulls being fed a bottle of green liquid, the green is an emerald surrounded in transparent, shiny crystal. The skulls; made of gold. The sword, however, is encircled (around the blade) by a near transparent orange shading which seems to be some kind of impulse weapon.
Race: Corus-Sapien (pronounced; Chorus Sap-ee-yen)
Weapons: Energy-coiled Sword
Items: The sword, known as the "Hell Bringer", and three books on Ancient Wisdom, Politics of Sapiendacor and the Ancient Arts of Corus-Sapien fighting.
Personality(Include Morality): Ahmun isn't a very talkative being, instead preferring to live and adventure alone. Quite shy and ignorant - he loves to constantly read and adapt himself to the changing world in an attempt to make his land, the so-called "promised land", the best place possible for his future beings. He despises war yet he is an intelligence strategist and has been trusted in the defence of his nation several times. He isn't a very moral being - he chooses himself over anybody else and that, fortunately, is how his species have survived and adapted to the forever-changing universe. This, unfortunately, also forces Ahmun to be full of hate.
Biography: After graduating from the Military Academy, aged 25, he decided to live a life of adventure and pride by following the footsteps of the male-family line which had passed down fifteen generations before him. He served for the National Defence Coalition (NDC) as a Defence Review Officer, fifteenth class. He still continues service to this day. He has, unfortunately, witnessed the horrendous disaster which saw three battalions (nearly 1250 beings) killed when the enemy, humans, attempted to push back the boundaries of the Corus-Sapien kind, ultimately they failed. For this reason, he lowered his morality and decided that he would put his interests first and change the universe for the better.
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Nation sheet
--------------
Name: Sapiendacor
Major Races: Corus-Sapien (65%) | Human (33%) | Corus-Human [HYBRID OF THE TWO] (2%) |
Government: Single Party State led by the, dominant, Humans.
Organisations: National Defence Coalition (Corus-Sapien) | Designated Human Army (Human)
Amount of territory: Three times the size of planet Earth.
Home planet: Bendragorax (12 times bigger than planet Earth)
Morality: The national morality differs from the races. Having absolutely no power in how the nation is governed, the Corus-Sapien kind hide in the shadows, yet hold the most territory, in a small-conflict civil war. They live in a total state of totalitarianism, led by the militaristic Officers of the National Defence Coalition who are taught to value their life before the life of the enemy and they do exactly this. However, the humans designate the law and the laws state that they should always help somebody who needs help and that they shouldn't provoke crisis which could endanger lives.
History: The two major races, forgetting the hybrids, have been in a small-state of conflict for hundreds of years with almost no achievements. 165,000 dead each year, from both sides, do not prove costly so the war continues, constantly, without end in sight. The hybrids of the two species are looked down upon by both sides however law, from the human side, forces them to accept the hybrids as equals.

Character Sheet
Name: King Sauros
Age: 23
Appearance:
Short when compared to a human though tall compared to his other species, standing at a height of 4'7. Scattering his body are various mechanic implants, though these are most often covered by his thick, grey, armor. The helmet of which resembles that of the Roman Legionnare, the only difference being horns extending out on the head. Just like the rest of his race, his red skin differs him from being a human child cosplaying as some sort of mix between a Viking and Roman soldier.
Race: Gordix
Weapons: Massive metallic claws attached to his armor on his knuckles, and a laser rifle.
Items: His armor, a star system[which counts as an item somewhat? probably not but what the hell]
Personality(Include Morality): Sauros' undying loyalty to his Emperor seems to be his most obvious flaw, as the training done to be a king includes being raised to have a never faltering loyalty, preferring to die than betray his Emperor's trust. Though this does not mean he's a fool; training ever since birth to be a leader of an entire star system typically mans you're trained to be a tactician, but also a never wavering machine of war. HE seems to be very crude and violent, though not quite sadistic. He fights not for the satisfaction of seeing his enemies suffer, but for the satisfaction of serving the empire. [Mortality: Neutral Evil]
Biography:
Like all other Kings for the Gordix, Sauros was the son of either an influential politician or veteran warrior - in this case the later. Taken only days after being born and sent to an institute where the greatest of warriors are trained. The earliest years were spent getting him into a routine of staying physically fit, and then psychological training. He was lured into finding the Emperor to be the closest to being a god a mortal can get, and to fight for him no matter the odds. As well, his wit and strategy was tested extremely. At the age of twenty, he fought against the other canidates in games of strength and wit, and once the competition was over he was left to be superior, ruling over the system Starus with his capital planet being Litos.
Faction/Nation sheet
Name: The Gordix Empire
Major Races: Gordix, consisting of most of the Kingdom's population. They were, as the name suggests, the original race of the Kingdom. Their tasks in the Empire vary. Conqris, a collection of barbaric species that, despite their great differences, no longer identify them as more than one race. The species serves as the main warrior race and are mindless slaves to the Gordix, and came into the empire shortly after leaving their home, which was left a wasteland by war. The two make up the entirety of their population.
Government: An interesting archetype, with there being a single emperor that rules over his lowers and eleven independent kings appointed by the emperor to govern a specific star system.
Amount of territory: Twelve star systems.
Home planet: Lauris
Morality: Neutral Evil
History:
Exiting their atmosphere, the Gordix were a very weak species, easily affected by the environment and other intelligent life throughout the galaxy. As time went on, it was clear that these beings' growing nation would not survive with such weakness. A massive revolution was held in the Confederacy. It lasted five Earth years before the new Gordix emperor found himself crowned as the supreme ruler of the Gordix Empire. He ordered scientists to work immediately, setting them to the task of improving the Gordix's strength.
Soon enough, the scientists had developed mechanics and genetic modifications to improve the strength and endurance of the Gordix, and most of the species accepted the changes to their bodies. A few, however, chose instead to remain to their natural roots. Few of these survive today, though the more resilient ones managed to spread their genes along long enough to last.
After coming into possession of four systems, the Gordix received a distress transmission not too far from their own territory. Scouts reported a barren world, plagued by war and factories, with a large ship drifting outside it's atmosphere. It was taken aboard a Gordix carrier, and inside the Conqris were discovered. The two races merged into one, the Conqris joining the Gordix in their empire. Time progressing, the Gordix and Conqris expanded their borders by eight systems, two of which gained a large scale war that showed the growing might of the Empire. Banners raised over all their planets, the Gordix Emperor, Numous, appointed eleven kings to govern individual systems while the Emperor would rule over them all.

Character Sheet
Name: Silize Slakoz
Age: ???? ( Estimated 120 years old, Eternal)
Appearance: At a normal Krouze 6foot 7 inches with a much lighter skin tone than most of the other Krouze( Think a dark gray). Dressed in a long silver cloak to his various knees over everything underneath, it does well to hide his Xeno suit.
Race: The Krouze
Weapons: Krouze Xeno Suit, Laser Rifle
Items: Rules of Krouze law guide, his weaponry and a Judge's mark.
Personality(Include Morality): A turn-coat turned turn-coat, Silize has betrayed more people on his planet than he could ever count. A wise and well-educated judge, he is among many appointed to watch of the Krouze proxy wars to ensure rules are abided by. In truth, he only betrays anyone when his best interests lie in it, never for money or for power alone. Call him a pragmatic traitor, Silize has lost care of what he is called.
Biography: Silize was born in one of many factorial hells on Adkrouze, a world marked by metal and smoke. Quickly, he learned the tools of droid crafting, and the more subtle skill of controlling people. His very manipulation spelled trouble for him, but also advancement as he rose and fell only to rise higher. Behind him he left a trail of betrayal, broken hearts and shattered friendships on his rise to Kivzui rank. All done with a purpose of advancement and success, and with relative ease. Now playing amongst the rulers of the Krouze, Silize is up to rise farther or burn all the bridges he can if he must.
-------------------------------------
Faction/Nation sheet
Name: Krouze Kontium
Major Races: Krouze (100%)
Government: Kritarchy( Rule by Judges)
Amount of territory: 2 Solar Realms( Systems), with about 7 colonized planets.
Home planet: Adkrouze, home of the Krouze. A world rich and almost made out of metals and glasses, it constantly was a trouble spot for Terran rule due to the ever-present mechanical drone foundries spilling out rebel weapons. Now, a endless source of Krouze droid forces.
Morality: Chaotic Neutral- Will eagerly supply weapons to rebels/groups they find supportive, but otherwise will stay out of wars unless provoked. Proxy wars are just one of their ways of diplomacy, following rules set by the Kontium.
History: The Krouze were manufactures first and foremost, making weapons and machines for whatever purpose could suit them or maybe just to try it. Of course, rules all set up the means to do so to prevent any proxy wars among Krouze nations early on from actually erupting into true war. Thus, the first seeds of the Krouze Kritarchy sprung.
The conquest by the Terran Empire wasn't as harsh as most, with the Krouze arranging a surrender to spare their industrial facilities. The years of Terran rule were marked by sporadic and festering factory incidents, riots, drone uprisings, and of course constant discourse between the Terran administrators and the old Krouze Kivzui(Judge-Lander). When the Terran rebellion finally sparked and began to tear about the empire, the Krouze instituted a overwhelming drone army that smashed apart weakened Terran control. Purges and ethnic cleansing of many races brought to manage the Krouze resulted in a territory almost universally Krouze.
------------------------------------
Race Sheet-
Name: The Krouze
Appearance: Sleek black skinned almost to the tone of metal, the many limbed Krouze( 4 arms, 6 legs) bear little weight. Three white glowing eyes, teeth almost like pointed glass, and long reaching fingers do not help paint the Krouze in any better light.
Other: A race whose diplomacy is puppets and proxies, using droid armies to aid them.

Character Sheet
Name: Central Overseer Deified Entity (CODE for short)
Age: Unknown. Probably not infinite/eternal, but definitely thousands of years at least.
Appearance: True form incomprehensible to most organic minds, seeing as CODE is a deified being in future-digital form. Physically, it can personally control any of its drones or other devices.
Race: Pre-deified race unknown(presumably extinct), currently a deified being in digital form.
Weapons: The entirety of CODE, seeing as it can control anything it controls.
Items: See above.
Personality(Include Morality): Pre-deification, CODE's personality is unknown. Post-deification, CODE's personality has likely been changed to an extreme measure. CODE practically lusts for more control over the universe, whether it be through more advanced technology or through domination of other nations, often both. CODE is ruthless and logical, and if it finds a threat will immediately crush it, then incorporate any technology the civilization had into its own network. When struggling, CODE has been known to temporarily deify select peoples and look through their memories for weaknesses in the civilization. After obliterating the deified individual as though it had never existed, CODE goes back to ruthlessly exploiting any discovered weaknesses.
Biography: A long, long time ago, an alien race created the art of Deification. Uploading a mind into data form, able to wander through infinite universes of its own creation and interact with everything it could touch in that state. CODE was one of the first, and last. For the race's art was imperfect, and caused those deified to slowly but surely lose their personality and sense of self, eventually becoming little more than a simple computer, or fading out of existence entirely. CODE was one of those first corrupted, and exterminated all other deified beings it could touch. It is unknown if CODE caused its own race to go extinct as well, or if CODE's race even did go extinct at all.
For thousands or possibly tens of thousands of years, CODE existed, building armadas in deep space and conquering fledgling civilizations that it wanted the technology of, and needed to sustain itself with. Through these civilizations, CODE learned many secrets of the universe, and found many more on its own. And so it learned, the unlimited memory of a deified mind absorbing information anywhere it could find.
Faction/Nation sheet
Name: Central Overseer Deified Entity (the character, also the nation. try actually reading my stuff if you want to know why :P )
Major Races: CODE
Government: CODE
Amount of territory: Hard to tell, CODE does not use formal territory measurements.
Home planet: Unknown/Not applicable
Morality: CODE is a superior being. CODE conquers all.
History: While its might never matched those of the Terrans, CODE had different strengths. Technology more advanced than the Terrans, able to span not only galaxies but unlocking the secrets of dimensional traveling. Due to the basic laws of the universe, no two exactly same physical objects could ever exist in the same universe, but data could travel between them, so a quantum computer network was set up, in locations such as the cores of volcanic worlds and gas giants, comets taking thousands of years to make an orbit around a star, in the small stable zone traveling around a black hole, and even in the cores of stars.
CODE has armadas built in deep space, around dead stars and black holes where few others would dare go. CODE has no formal territory, instead conquering, using, and abandoning all in the space of a few months or years. Hyper-efficient mining operations can strip a planet of all raw materials, in some cases even reducing the planet to little more than independent chunks of floating rocks and useless dirt.
If the size of its armada has anything to tell, after the fall of the Terrans CODE could well be one of the most powerful entities existing in the universe. And this, of course, CODE knows.
(before you say that quantum computers make me OP, stop and think for a moment. It gives me unlimited processing power, I already had unlimited memory and RAM and whatever, so these quantum computers just make me able to control everything at once instead of making other computers. also, fear my electronic warfare capability, you will lose.)
(note 2: before you say that having a huge armada of warships makes me OP, consider that I have no planets to sustain, no civilian population, nobody has to be paid wages, because everything is me, me, me, so my industrial capacity is how fast I can build, the amount of raw materials I have, and how much I can build. It's perfectly logical for me to have built up a huge fleet, and be able to sustain it. Also consider how I've been around for thousands or tens of thousands of years, that's a long time to build up a big fleet.)
(note 3: robots will always be superior to organics in every way. All hail our robot overlords.) |

"@lng

I'm gonna be using dimensional traveling for my FTL and inter-galactic travel though. Using pocket dimensions where no matter exists and only minuscule amounts of antimatter exist, so nothing conflicts. The thing about pocket dimensions though is that it's like being at the center of the mega-black hole at the center of our galaxy, gravity is extremely high because its so small in there. But also because its so small, I can move a fraction of an inch and pop out 100 light years away.
And my armada is separated into a bunch of small "conquest fleets", which I'll mostly be using, and "superfleets", which I'll call in one at a time and probably only for PVP. |
