~Pandora: Peacemaker Program~"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."Discussion topic here~Intro~
The elders say that there was once a time of peace, when humans lived in harmony with the planet, when there were no wars... When we roamed in the stars, exploring distant worlds... when there was no famine or drought… When one could hear the joy of children playing outside… When you could see butterflies dancing their colorful dance in the sky… When our species flourished in Earth’s joy.
It must have been a million years since anyone saw a butterfly, or witnessed the happiness of children playing. Oh, it seems like so long since I heard music…
It seems so long since I heard the sound of rain, or saw the white snow falling from the sky.
But the tides of fortune can still shift… There must be hope… somewhere… in this apocalyptic world… There must be a light to penetrate the darkness we all live in…
Well, what are you waiting for? Pick up your weapon, take a side and fight to either save this world… or destroy it… not like it’s worth saving…~Back story~
250 million years from now, the continents crashed once again, combining into a supercontinent, named Pandora. Most cities have been destroyed by then, and nomadic tribes warred against each other across massive deserts. Humans were ready for extinction when suddenly, the war stopped. The killing ended, as an enigmatic man named Tyrano united the tribes and laid the foundation stone of Trenios City, using information he found in a ruined satellite that crashed in the desert. It was probably millions of years old. While the city was being built, Tyrano built a program, the Peacemaker program, in case the Confederacy was ever destroyed…
That was ten thousand years before the time of this RPG.
The Confederacy, that ruled Pandora for ten millennia, was dissolved when Trenios was almost burned to the ground… The Great Council of the Confederacy was all killed in the fire, and the land was split in two… On the far north stood the Northern Empire, an empire ruled by Oniaka. She built an army of clones, genetically engineered to kill or die.
The rest of Pandora was ruled by Krelios and his Southern Alliance. Unfortunately, Krelios had no intentions of peace. He immediately marched at the Northern Empire, burning cities and villages, not looking at what he was killing…
And so, the Great War began a war that could destroy Mankind once and for all eternity…
But there is hope… it is rumored that the exact location of the Peacemaker Program was found… but it is in the middle of a treacherous mountain range, twelve miles above sea level… So yeah, it’s pretty unreachable… You might as well stay fighting… maybe one day you will be provided with the mercy of death.
~Locations~
Map:
ClickPandora:
Pandora is the supercontinent that was formed when Antarctica, the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa combined to form a massive continent, spanning one third of the Earth’s surface. This continent has harsh climates, desolate wastelands and ruins of cities long gone… all of the following locations are located within Pandora…
Deserts:
The Deserts cover most of the continent, other then the part that is covered in dense vegetation and the Anylayan Mountains. Whilst it is bone dry for the most part, the nomadic tribes living in the deserts are often hit by flash floods from the Anylayan Mountains… It is a treacherous place to be. Other then nomadic villages and the wall that separates the two factions, the desert is home to mysterious creatures that can kill an army with one attack of their massive tails. Also, there are lots of things around the desert, like dead bodies and ruined equipment from battles.
Anylayan Mountains:
A very high mountain range, twelve miles high. Its steep slopes are treacherous, and the highest peaks have never been reached. It is rumored that the Peacemaker Program is located somewhere on these mountains.
Trenios City:
It used to be the core of the Confederacy, now it is the only safe haven from the fighting. It is controlled by the Circle, a mysterious group that is trying to find the Peacemaker and activate it. Located in the middle of the Desert and surrounded by mines and high walls, it is nearly impossible to conquer. Inside, modern towers house people that seek peace, and are willing to fight for it. If you find yourself in this city while it’s under attack, you will have to fight, or you’ll be shot by someone.
Southern Peninsula:
This is where most of the population of the Southern Alliance is, due to the sea reaching so far inland here. To the east, there is a great ocean, and to the west there is a deep gulf. As such, the climate is moderate. Other then that, the western side is rich in sulfur and metal deposits. As such, there is a second line of defense inside the Alliance, protecting the peninsula from attacks.
Jungles:
The area around the coast, rivers and lakes is mostly jungle. It is a dangerous place, but most of the population lives on clearings in the jungle. It is damp, dark, and treacherous. Don’t go inside if you’re not crazy…
Tleritys:
A town on the southernmost tip of the Southern Peninsula, it has flourished in the time of the Confederacy, but now it’s not even important enough to defend. As such, it’s a great place to conduct shady businesses, but you can also get assassinated here if you have a bounty on your head. Anyway, lately people have been going south to fish with their boats, and never returned, but that is blamed on Oniaka’s sea patrols… perhaps. Also, there is a shipyard nearby, and there is a port twenty miles to the north which houses the seventh, ninth and tenth naval fleets.
Ostera:
Built as a headquarters for Oniaka’s defensive lines, it is a heavily defended city a hundred or so miles behind the border. Krelios thinks that it is the gateway into the Empire, and concentrates his battle effort on it. Also, frequent nomad strikes have left it cut off from the rest of the empire…can it hold, or will it fall, letting forces of the Alliance to destroy the Empire?
Leretha:
Once a great city on an oasis, now it is hardly standing. Frequent nomad raids have left it in ruins, robbing caravans and killing people in the outskirts. Only the inner core of the city remains safe, but the defensive grids have been destroyed. As such, it is under direct protection from the Circle, so it’s neutral for the War.
Anyway, the core of the city contains a massive generator that feeds power into the relatively close Trenios City, along with a library. There is enough food too, as the surrounding area is fertile, but that might change if the Nomads decide to burn the fields.
Trenen:
A town in the middle of the jungle, lights from it can be seen for a hundred miles. It is a happy town, full of joy. It is a good place to take a break from the death and suffering. As it isn’t able to defend itself, it is under protection from the Circle, and neutral from the War.
Sentera:
A large city in the foothills of the Anylayan Mountains. It is the capital of the Empire. It is said that the Peacemaker can be activated from this city. It is harder to conquer then Trenios, and that’s saying something. In the middle, there is a military airport, which houses ten squadrons of fighters and fighter-bombers.
~Climate~
Due to the world being so much different from now, the climate is much harsher. The top peaks of the highest mountains are battered by winds strong enough to throw a building around like a toy. Due to lack of influence from the sea, most of the continent is too dry to inhabit, and only Nomads survive there. The heat overall raised by twelve degrees, forcing humans to adapt. The areas around the coast are so damp that there have been reports of people disappearing in the mud or drowning on dry land. The air pressure is also much greater, allowing massive birds as large as orcas to soar whit ease over the damp jungles. The seas, however, are a completly different story, and a massive current runs around the continent, making naval warfare extremly hard.
~Technology~
Due to this being 250 million years in the future, the technology has changed… a lot… There is no air travel, as there is no fuel that managed to take off into the air and hovercraft technology can’t soar that high. Most travel is done by hovercraft hovering on the Earth’s weakening magnetic field. Weapons are laser based, including melee weapons, which remind of light sabers but with invisible blades and a mirror on the end of the blade to maximize the power. The wheel was never used for travel, being replaced by legs before it got a chance. Computers are also highly advanced, and genetic engineering is pretty advanced too.
~Factions~
The Circle:
The Circle is a mysterious organization also known as the “Alliance of Global Unity”. According to rumors, they were created to keep the secret of the Peacemaker Program in good hands, until the family that had it was obliterated in a fire, along with the Council. That was when they appeared. While the war between the Empire and the Alliance escalated, the Circle took over three cities; Trenen, Trenios and Leretha. While they don’t have an army, they have highly advanced defensive grids. Their goal is to save mankind from being destroyed in the War. Nobody knows who their leader is.
Northern Empire:
The Northern Empire is ruled by Oniaka, a pacifist. She even allowed the Circle to exist and have its headquarters in Trenios City. In return, the Circle provided her with highly advanced weaponry. To further prove her good intentions, she sent her civilians into the cities protected by the Circle, when the Alliance started threatening her territory. As a sign of gratitude, a scientist gave her a genetic structure that she used to create an army of cloned soldiers, built for the war. But if Ostera, the headquarters of the defensive line, should fall, then the Alliance might just have a chance to win…
Southern Alliance:
When the rift in the Confederacy occurred, Krelios, now the leader of the Southern Alliance took over most of Pandora. However, he was forced to give a part of his land to Oniaka as a plot to gain critical supplies like uranium in the territory that Oniaka already had. However, Oniaka didn’t give anything, so Krelios attacked. It is rumored that the Alliance has nuclear weapons, and enough biological weapons to kill all of mankind several times. Most of the machinery is built by slave labor in top secret labor camps all around the Alliance.
Nomads:
Nomadic tribes still travel across the barren desert. They are violent, and often obliterate patrols and take supplies. Sometimes they even raid villages. Due to their tribal way of life, they often fight and destroy other tribes. They live from hunting.
~Game play~
~Rules~
1: No god-moding. That includes doing things beyond what is possible, traveling large distances with only one post (It makes time paradoxes, so don't, it gives me a headache), destroying stuff easily, and anything else that might be considered god-moding.
2: Use IC and OOC. IC is In Character; use it while saying something that adds to the story. Use OOC for anything else about the game.
3: No killing or controlling other characters without permission. And by the way, that permission will be PMed to me, and then I will change the controller in the profile section temporarily and PM the new controller.
4: Make your posts understandable. That means NO LEET, and reasonably good grammar. If you have problems with grammar, spell check it before posting.
5: Don’t spam. This includes: Posting non RPG related things (OOC isn’t an exception) and short posts whit no actual meaning to the game. (For example, posting that you just kept walking isn’t allowed, but in battles, posting that you shot at somebody, would be allowed).
6: Don’t rush battles! Let your opponent do his move before you continue.
7: You CAN die in this RPG. While you cannot be killed by someone else without saying that you want to, I can kill you if you let your guard down for too long, or let yourself venture into dangerous situations. Mostly, you’ll get killed for entering situations which it would be god moding to escape.
