| Folks, this is my ultimate brain child. I need a total of three, dedicated members. The setting is a modern day war, we are a squadron of the country of Yeng, on the continent of Arcenia. For full details on history, location, and other stuff, read spoiler marked story. Story. - Spoiler:
Arcenia, this continent, located in the seas above Eurasia (Picture sort of, a longer earth, Russia below it, no ice caps have been raised too). Several sovereign nations have taken foothold, whether it’s the totalitarian government of Rectrus (RED), or the diplomatic socialism of Whinsper (WHITE), the diversity throughout the region has often times made hostilities be ever prominent.
During the middle ages, only three powers were in the region, Rectrus, Whinsper, an Oralen (ORANGE). Wars broke out as the oligarchy that is Oralen tried to expand its borders, soon controlling the entirety of the northern mainland. However, Rectrus had a natural border protecting them, the Mesian desert, located between the two (yellow sand color represents deserts). So, Rectrus simply waited out the Oralen attack, using their foothold in the desert to an advantage to outlast the mainly forest dwelling peoples (dark green are forests). Immediately after the Oralen king order a withdrawal of forces, the Rectrus launched their campaign, sweeping through much of the southern forests with little to no resistance.
It was about this time the Whinsper made it’s first explorations of the southern coast line. Their ships landed at the far southern tip, in the mountainous region (mountains are borwn, usually connected to form ranges) referred to as The Gaunlet, both in ancient time and in the modern world. Whinsper had been able to flourish, having no restrictions, they roamed the land, making technological advances, which still holds true today. They met the Rectrus by stumbling upon their capital, the Rectrus immediately mustered a force, and road out to attack. They were utterly defeated, the Whinsperians showing great valor, and superior command. However, after this victory, they sent forward diplomats to clear up the confusion, and so an alliance was formed. Elsewhere, more ships landed in Oralen, Oralen weakened as it was, immediately sent forth it’s own diplomats, and a second alliance was formed. Oralen wasted no time in telling it’s newfound ally of the war raging in the southern lands, and hearing about this conflict, Whinsper sent conscripts back to it’s mainland, returning with the bulk of it’s army, This army marched to the front, where it stopped the Rectrus forces in their tracks, fearing a repeat at the capital. Diplomatic solutions where eventually found.
And so relative peace lay over Arcenia. But during this time, Rectrus grew ever greedier of it’s neighbors, Oralen with it’s fine timbers, furs, and agriculture. Whinsper with it’s overall stability in it’s region. And so, about the time of the American revolution, Rectrus sailed a massive fleet. It was during this time that gunpowder was first being employed, so large frigates, cruisers, and ships formed this huge armada. The plan was, to make a landing in the sea of Carcio (dark blue’s are deep oceans, light blue, shallows, mostly impassible to ships unless careful navigational measures are taken). But, as the armada sailed, a great general, Yeng, who knew the advantages of the three states remaining allies defected from the main force. In a dazzling display of military tactics, Yeng forced the bulk of the remaining hostile Rectrus fleet into the shallows along the coast, where a great storm by chance smashed them against the craggy shore line.. Those who escaped, returned to their nation with the story of Angire (AHN-JEER), the great god of the sky who had defeated the entirety of the Rectrus army.
General Yeng, after reporting to Whinsper high command, sailed off with his fleet, and inhabited two islands in the south sea, Seryna, the eastern island, and Whey, the western. It is said sometime after, they sent ships back to Rectrus to get their families and loved ones, and bring them too to the islands. They named their nation after their great leader, Yeng.
However, Rectrus refused to admit defeat, they launched a ground operation deep into the heart of Oralen, taking the capital and burning the city to the ground, killing every citizen they came across. The Oralen army drove the Rectrus invaders from their forests, and Whinsper sailed it’s army across Carcio, joining with Oralen to push and capture the whole of Rectrus. Peace once again reigned throughout the land.
In the time leading to modern day, several developments have taken place, Rectrus has gotten back it’s full independence, that means Whinsper and Oralen now have very little to do with their everyday doings. There were drawbacks however, Rectrus was highly unstable in it’s early years of reformation, and a schism took place. Protica (PINK), upon finding large deposits of oil in the desert, gold, diamond, and silver deposits in the north, felt it unfair for the totalitarian country Rectrus to benefit from this. In recent years, Protica has made a move to split it’s own country in two, forming Baltika (BLACK), furthering the economic benefits of both. And a second nation broke free of Rectrus, Greisen (GREEN), a sea faring nation, producing much food for the whole of Arcenia. They also have the biggest deposits of offshore oil, which further benefits their country.
And so, the modern age has come, tanks, machine guns, missiles, jets. And it seems that a conflict of some sort is looming on the horizon. Will the nation of Yeng, relatively quite, usually dealing with only Whinsper be able to survive the coming storm?
As for the look of the continent. - Spoiler:
The layout of the terrain. I think in the story I covered the color code pretty well, and confusion, feel free to ask. - Spoiler:
The location of major cities in each country, not to say the war will only be fought at these locations, but still. - Spoiler:
This is a culmination of all map elements, I felt this is important as some cities and regions have natural barriers that will come into play. - Spoiler:
It might be hard to spot some of the cities, so reference with the other picture to get a location pinpointed.
Okay, as you see, this'll be good. If you couldn't guess, war is about to break out, and with Arcenia in it's current state, Rectrus being so divided and having gained all these new countries, who will pop the cork? For character sheets, don't make a character sheet. Write, I don't care how long, if you tell about background, appearance, bio, I don't care, but pretty much the meat of it is, your character will be stationed on Whey, the western island of Yeng, at the air force base there. The thing about pilots are, don't put, they fly -blah-. As squadron leader, I'll choose planes according to missions, or planes may be lost, shit, pilots might be lost. So, if you're not accepted into the original three, don't feel hesitant to write about a character anyway. A mention of flying strengths might be good, just don't take it too far. Example; Leon could outgun any pilot in the sky, precisely bomb any target, and defend any place. Yeah, go, make this thing as awesome as it's going to be. Edit; mistakes riddle the story section, I'm slowly moving through and picking them out, so please, no need to point them out, you can get the gist of what I am saying I hope. And if you can't, then I don't want you in the rp anyways.

| Modifications could be made in order to change the time tables, but going backwards is out of the question. Since we'll need rapid transportation since the story is fleshed out all over the continent, and then most of it would be us, on a boat. Boring.
Edit; I added a poll to see what the people want. Since we have few members and there's no way in hell I'd release an rp this good on FTT, I'll let you guys choose some possible settings for this. | |

| Like I said, the entire story I have written works best if it is a flight rp. So I'm pretty much set on that. I guess I'll just wait until some people show some sort of interest. | |

| The problem is though, puttin a humanistic mecha in usually leads to a bad rp. It tends to allow people easier options with there battle sequences, like, I swung the left arm down on his chest. And in my rps, I like the action to be the driving factor. | |

| That last time I remember someone trying to get their mecha to punch someones else's in Code Geass, the mecha's hand got smushed to nothing against the chest armour and he couldn't use the hadron cannon any more. Naturally, he died. | |

| I was busy.
Yeah, I voted aircraft. It seems pretty cool, I had the mindset of something like the game Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, but with less revenge and more military. All in all, I think if we get some smart and skilled people, we can pull it off.
EDIT: It MUST have gunships: huge flying gunships with multiple turrets. | |

| FUCKING DUH!
Ace Combat 4, 5, 6, and 0 all played heavily into the writing of the story. Pretty much, joining up into this rp puts you into a convoluted world of treason, technological monstrosities, and all sorts of fun. | |

| Need to defend a strategic airspace? - Spoiler:
The four members of Yeng's leading squadron taxiing down the runway in their F-22's, any opposing air force would be foolish to face them.
Enemy installations need clearing? - Spoiler:
Clearing any area will be a breeze in Su-34's. Although, we might need some squadron members to fly air support.
Launching from a carrier? - Spoiler:
The F/A-18 is one of the best. Land, air, attacking or defending, we can handle anything with these.
Flying close air support for ground operations? - Spoiler:
The A-10's sweeping mini gun and missiles will dispatch any threat to our ground forces.
This is pretty much to say, as the squadron leader things shouldn't be as difficult as some might think. Although this would never fly (PUN-n-n-n) in the real Yeng Air Force, if you just have the basic knowledge of bank, turn, barrel roll, missile lock, fire, etc., then you can do fine in this rp. It has a compelling story that will keep it going for some time and never get dull. So, knowing this, is anyone else interested? | |

| You know Bread, with such little interest from anyone, I could make a major tweak to the story, but would have very little effect on the storyline. That is to say it'd be all the story (if not a bit more) just minus two people. If there's no solid show of interest by anyone by Sunday I'll go ahead and open the tweaked rp in the begginners section sometime during next week. | |
