22:33:39 Oct 24th 08 - Lord Wolven Warrior: I was unsure of whether or not to post this thread here; I have posted it on another forum beforehand. For this Reason I shall post the roleplay, but on this site shall not take part in it myself. Posted for other peoples enjoyment only =) WARTORN
The world is in chaos, but then it has been for as long as anyone can remember. The reason for the war between the two different superpowers has been long forgotten, but it rages on. Attempts have been made to find peace, but all have failed. Even when a peace treaty has been signed, within the next few months the war would start all over again. The people of the world were too used to war; if there was no war, they reasoned, then what was their purpose in life? So the battle continued. Both sides were strong, but neither any more so than the other. When two powers, which were unequal in terms of strength, go to war, it usually ends after twenty years or so. But this war is too evenly matched, and it seems none can stop it. At times it seems none want to, but this is not so. There are always groups of people seeking peace, although it is almost impossible they will get it.
Some of those who want peace are simply tired of the fighting; many have lost friends and family in the violence. Others are the wives of men fighting in the war, sick with fear that their husbands will never come home again. They hold many non-violent protests. They are ignored. In a world of violence, nothing else grabs peoples attention. Even away from the frontlines, fights break out. No one does anything to stop them, the fights are seen as good entertainment. Often a barkeeper would pay two men to start fighting, or only pay whichever one was the victor. Even without these bribes fights would start anyway, the bribes were simply an excuse to start fighting even more quickly than they would have if they had been waiting for some accidental physical contact, a misplaced word perhaps, using these also as excuses to being a fight. As it becomes apparent from the fights I speak of above, there are those who love the violence. They are the majority; and this is why the war always restarts when peace treaties are reached. The bulk of both sides both want the violence to continue, and so when the peace treaties are made they will make up any reason they can think of to convince their ruling government to abolish the peace agreement. Around a third of the government of one side, The Olkun’ut, and around the same from the opposing side, The Kerait. Those people supported these appeals and eventually one side or the other abolished the peace agreement. But there is a third nation. Or at least there was. This nation had the misfortune to be in between The Olkun’ut and The Kerait. In the bloody conflicts they were imprisoned. Those who were useful were made to help the side they had been captured by, those who were not had been killed. The two sides had no place for those who were of no use, and who were also not their own. Some of this nation still survives, although it is a nation no longer. They are wanderers, herdsmen. They have no nation to whom they owe allegiance. They are now left alone for the most part, but they still remember the horrors of the attacks on them in an attempt to get to the real enemy, from both directions. Some wanted revenge, some wish to be left in peace. The two Nations are tearing each other apart. If there is any end to the violence, it lies in one thing for both sides. Complete and utter Destruction. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diplomat: If you take up this role, you will be trying to convince the leaders of your chosen nation to either stop the fighting, or arguing that the fighting should continue. There will be little in the way of action, in the form of fighting and such, but it will be an interesting role, forming debates over this issue, one that is present in some countries of the world we live in today. Soldier: As the name suggests, if you take up this role you are a soldier on the front lines. The style of warfare is as it was in WWII, the same kind of machinery and so forth. As a soldier you could also take the role as a commanding officer; this is a position that may be of more interest. Wanderer: One of the people who was once part of the third, smaller nation. This role could admittedly been seen as a boring one; but you could make it come alive. Perhaps you are captured by one of the two great nations, and are forced to work for them. Maybe while you are there you instigate a rebellion amongst the others who were once of the third nation. You decide Protestor: Someone who is staging non-violent protests against the war. The diplomats work with you and speak for you; protestors make up the main part of the people who wish to get rid of war. This role provides an interesting insight into the lives of the citizens of both nations also; you can choose the living conditions the war has caused. I am happy to let you choose some of those details; otherwise I will leave nothing for you to say in effect. Some protestors are violent, although only a small number. These seem to get the most attention; the nations live in war and anything other than war is unremarkable, something that is to be overlooked, or, at times, destroyed. two people can take the roles as head of the two nations, perhaps have a vote to decide who gets that position? Enjoy =) | ||||
00:59:40 Oct 25th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: [[Well here is my first shot at it.]] Name: Dak Perkins | ||||
03:03:27 Oct 25th 08 - Prince Tiber Septim IV: Name: General James Septim Description: Born in the city of Gerot in the third nation, his family was slaughtered by the Olkun’ut General Harold Yelevon when he was only eight. He was instead raised by his uncle, a former Commando from Kerait. He was taught to use pistols, rifles, snipers, and many other weapons. He was also taught the art of stealth. At the age of eighteen, he joined the Kerait Military. By the age of thirty he was already a Colonel, three years later he became the youngest General in the history of Kerait. By thirty-seven, he was given supreme command of the Kerait Military. To this day, his tactical knowledge makes him an invaluable asset. He has a scar running down his face from the night his parents were killed, his hair is brown, but showing signs of gray. He is a good friend of Admiral Francis Bakor. | ||||
18:50:40 Oct 25th 08 - Duke Ozai: Name: Bal'ut Argonar | ||||
21:17:39 Oct 25th 08 - Lord Wolven Warrior: (OOC: I will make occasional posts as the heads of both nations; but they will not be regular, fairly long occasional posts that will in effect sumarise events in the RP so far, put into the format of messages to the kings and their private thoughts.)) | ||||
09:05:47 Oct 26th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: Dak was about to load his things onto the transport when a messenger ran over to him and saluted. | ||||
15:51:08 Oct 26th 08 - Prince Tiber Septim IV: General James "Dragonheart" Septim was sitting at his desk when a man came in. | ||||
16:57:33 Oct 26th 08 - Lord Wolven Warrior: Yerchico frowned as he looked over the latest reports from the battle front. Things were going the same as they had been for as long as he could remember; they had not lost ground or gained any. This put him in a foul mood, and when the leader of the Kerait was in a bad mood anyone who was unfortunate enough to be in his present would be lucky to leave with his life. "Tell me, General" Said Yerchico, with deceptive calm "In the past twelve years you have been under my command, have we gained any ground against these accursed Olkun'ut? No, we have not" He continued, asnwering his own question. "Why could this be? is it that our soldiers are not skilled enough? we train them for many months befreo the head to war, so no, that cannot be it. Can you think of another reason perhaps? The only one in my mind is that their leaders are substanard. You are one of that number. Perhaps you would like to explain this to me?" There was no responce. The General knew would loose his life; and the thought terrified him. Yerchico rose from his seat and swept the scrolls on his lap the floor. He walked over them, and then towards his General. He whipped out his sword, in a flurry of steel and blood, decapitated him. Yerchico carefully returend his sword to its sheath. He knew it was a dated weapon, and others favoured guns, but when his enemies were hopeless he could not resist the lure of steel; the use of swords was a lsot art of war. With a sigh he returned to his seat. His nation would not fall, but neither would they gain more lands. He cast an irritable eye over the latest scout reports, then stood up. They could wait. For now he would walk to the top of the building, and look over his empire. There was nothing quite like being able to look over that huge area of land, and know it all belonged to him. ((I will post for the ruler of the Olkun'ut later)) | ||||
22:58:56 Oct 28th 08 - Mr. Manwe: Name: Ryo Hirani Faction: Kerait Ryo walked down the hall, his hood on, and his jacket zipped up tight. Rounding a corner, he heard yelling inside the room he was approaching. As Ryo was reaching for the door handle, the door opened, and a man in uniform burst out, muttering curses. Ryo swept past him into the room, shutting the door. In front of him stood Vermont, the notorious general. | ||||
18:09:53 Oct 29th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: "What the hell are you up to?" asked Septim as he entered Vermont's office. | ||||
19:26:35 Oct 29th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: Dak and his squad sat around the base, wondering when the higher ups would ever decide something. Dak sat on his cot cleaning out his bolt action rifle with his cleaning tools. He reassembled it and went out onto the firing range to test its accuracy. Phil Calsbi took his carbine rifle and disassembled it while talking to Finn Hughs, who was doing the same to his. Phil looked down at his gun and finished putting it back together. Ulren Wallace and Tom Olsey walked into the room. | ||||
22:37:27 Oct 29th 08 - Mr. Manwe: Ryo sat in his dim room, preparing for his mission. In his small backpack were a few explosives, a radio, and a disassembled sniper-rifle. Strapped to his belt was his pistol, and his knife was inside his boot. Zipping up his bag, Ryo stood and walked to the door. Opening it, he climbed down the steps toward the building's entrance. Nodding at the guards, he put on his hood and swept through the door. Less than half an hour later, Ryo stood outside the city, watching the horizon. As the sun sank, he picked up his pack and loped off into the sunset, prepared to complete his next mission. | ||||
16:41:56 Nov 1st 08 - Mr. Himanil V: Name: James Blake | ||||
16:52:15 Nov 1st 08 - Mr. Himanil V: While sitting on the heavily forested hill an indiscernible Himanil carefully watched Dak and his squad perform their drills resentfully. For some reason that he himself didn't know he liked Dak. He didn't look as the sort of guy who'd boast of herculean Rambo like feats in front of his girlfriend by the fire, he looked like an excellent fellow, cheery and amicable with friends but ruthless and efficient against the enemy. As he continued to silently observe them somewhere inside, his sixth sense told him that the intel he'd been given was somehow flawed, even though the thought seemed very dubious considering the place from where the intel had come. In the meantime he'd just have to watch and wait. | ||||
21:52:23 Nov 1st 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: Dak finished with his drills and then was given a letter from a man named James Septim. It asked for him to meet later that day to talk about his squad's status. | ||||
16:34:57 Nov 5th 08 - Mr. Himanil V: As James came out of the archives, his hands were trembling and his brow was sweaty, he twitched at every little sound even the flow of the wind caused his hand to snap towards his weapon. He was going through a route that he believed was unknown to all in the area after having crept in secretively into the Great Archives and come out after the most terrific firefight he had been in his life, he had encountered 17 and all lay dead with either a shot to their head, the complete destruction of their larnyxes or crushed basilar arteries. In the massive ensuing chase that followed he killed another 4 elite Kerait guards while avoiding the rest with great craft. The intel in his hands was one that would change the course of the war completely, the tiny object in his hands was what he had recognized instantly to be a cryptex, the code of which he had found after much bone breaking, neck splitting, covert work and the utilisation of his own wits. He marvelled that though it was a tiny thing, it was an object of such immense value the contents of which if revealed to the right people would almost certainly mean an unquestionably decisive victory for the Keraits.However his train of thought was interrupted and James broke into a sprint on hearing the howl of dogs and cries of men behind him hoping against hope that he'd find some trusted person swiftly. | ||||
23:42:43 Nov 5th 08 - Mr. Manwe: [[OOC: hey charley, maybe since i got sent by vermont and you by septim and they're rivals, we're supposed to fight each other but then urn out to be friends? how about it?]] | ||||
00:07:24 Nov 6th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: [[Septim has to do something first...otherwise I am still with Vermont...]] | ||||
00:19:08 Nov 6th 08 - Mr. Manwe: [[ok. ]] | ||||
15:54:25 Nov 6th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: Septim looked up and into Charley's eyes with the same look that had scared both recruits and commanding officers since he first joined the military. | ||||
18:38:33 Nov 6th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: Dak sat silently for a minute after hearing Septim speak. He then looked at his squadmates before speaking. | ||||
20:41:35 Nov 6th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: "Of course. I can either have you transfered to my command, or you can do a bit of spywork for me," said Septim with a sly smile. | ||||
21:46:43 Nov 6th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: Dak folded his arms and leaned closer to Septim. | ||||
00:36:00 Nov 7th 08 - Mr. Delran: Name: Delran Dark | ||||
00:55:12 Nov 7th 08 - Mr. Delran: Captain Sharpe, Delran's aid entered his office with a sad face. | ||||
01:25:10 Nov 7th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: "For the spywork, you must recieve your orders from General Vermont, and the work I will give you is simple. I am forming a new unit, in it will be the best men from several branches of our military. They will be called the Dragons. The decision is yours to make, I am just trying to save lives, be them Keraitian or foreign..." said Septim as he leaned back in his chair. | ||||
01:39:52 Nov 7th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: *Dak looked at his men and then back at Septim again* "I am not good at spying, only doing what I have been trained for. I would rather take orders from you than Vermont...I would like to join your unit instead of being in his." | ||||
01:46:29 Nov 7th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: "Good, some new armor is waiting for you, and yes, I said armor. We've developed the use of a strange new fabric called kevlar, it stops bullets, should be useful. We're working on an attachment for guns too, we're calling it a supressor, it's not finished yet, but it'll be done by the end of the year. Go downstairs to the quartermaster for your new toys, then keep in training. My guys are working on something big. Now, I need to take care of the transfer, you're dismissed..." | ||||
02:04:32 Nov 7th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: "Alright sir" | ||||
03:44:55 Nov 7th 08 - Mr. Manwe: [[OOC: so charley, how do we come into contact and fight or do whatever we're going to do?]] | ||||
04:06:37 Nov 7th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: [[May just play this by ear...we may or may not meet depending on our orders...I am under Septim's command and for the future...please message me instead of posting on here]] | ||||
04:24:22 Nov 7th 08 - Mr. Manwe: [[hey wolven, would it be ok if vermont was trying to take over kerait, so he wants me to assassinate septim? oh yeah and septim would it e ok if i attempted to assasinate you but you use your amazing skills?]] | ||||
05:07:26 Nov 7th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: [[OOC: I'd be fine with it...but I'd like to write the assassination scene and send it to you...see what you think...:D]] | ||||
05:21:30 Nov 7th 08 - Mr. Manwe: [[ooc: yeah, i like it. just don't break my arm :) ]] | ||||
05:30:53 Nov 7th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: Septim made the appropriate calls, and he soon had Dak and his squad under his command. He expected a call from Vermont, but he never got one. After retiring to his room he read a bit before going to sleep. *** General Septim laid in his bed, he was asleep, but he was a light sleeper. Suddenly, he awoke. Under his bed was a .45. He grabbed it and looked around, seeing nobody, he smiled, for he knew that just because he could not see an enemy, does not mean that he isn't there. He listened for the slightest breath, and still heard nothing. His bodyguard was outside, or so he thought. Suddenly, from his right, an assassin attacked. Septim shot off a round, missing, and rolled out of bed. He then got up and shot off a few more rounds. The assassin stabbed his knife at Septim, at which point Septim dropped his weapon and dodged sideways, he grabbed the arm as it stabbed where Septim had been a moment before and twisted it. Pulling it up, he elbowed the enemy twice in the ribs and threw him to the floor. The assassin yelled in pain, but his intense training prevented him from giving in. The assassin yelled again as he struck the hard tile floor of the bedroom, but he still did not give in. The assassin drew his pistol from his boot holster and aimed it at Septim, and Septim moved forwards while going to the side, grabbing the gun, he pressed the clip release as his enemy shot off his only round. The clip fell to the floor and Septim kneed his enemy in the face. The assassin finally fell to the ground, out cold, and Septim picked up his pistol. He kept it aimed at the assassin as four soldiers entered the room. [[OOC: Manwe agreed to this...]] | ||||
07:00:11 Nov 7th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: [[OOC: Sorry for double posting, didn't leave much room for anything...and since Wolven Warrior didn't establish a date, I'll make one up. I'll just use today's, it's November 6th, 7563. (The reason the date is so high is because they don't use BC like us, the year that the first major civilization was founded is year one. Don't ask why they use the same months as we do...I didn't feel like making up new months!]] "Sir, we have no idea where your bodyguard is," said the sergeant. Name: Specialist Ryo Hirani "Why the hell did he bring his ID on a job? Oh well, helps me out..." muttered Septim. | ||||
07:27:55 Nov 7th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: Dak was laying in his bed when a man barged into the barracks. | ||||
08:40:38 Nov 7th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: "At ease sergeant," said Septim before leaning close to Dak. "I want you or one of your men watching the prisoner at all times, notify me when he wakes up. If anybody tries to get in to speak to him that isn't the damn President, then I want to be notified, I'll be in the archives..." said Septim before leaving the holding cells. He then walked to the archives where he began researching his would-be assassin. | ||||
09:02:29 Nov 7th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: Dak saluted General Septim as he left the holding cells and then turned to his men. | ||||
09:56:19 Nov 7th 08 - Mr. Delran: The door knocking was so intense that from the moment Delran heared it he got up. | ||||
15:41:03 Nov 7th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: Septim was reading on about his assassin's past, the person who ordered the hit hadn't even burnt the files. Suddenly, a Captain entered the room and saluted. Septim got up and returned the salute. | ||||
16:22:23 Nov 7th 08 - Mr. Manwe: The assassin hung his head, his black hair covering his face. Slowly, he raised his head and began to speak. I will tell you all. After waiting for the soldiers to pay attention, he continued. Yes, I was sent by Vermont. He convinced me that he was a better leader than you, and i would do anything to accomplish the Kerait cause. But now, I realize that he was a fool, and just doing it for himself. I will join you if you let me...if not...I'll probably continue my life killig Olkun'ut. But first, no matter what i do, i must kill General Vermont. He is a fool, and if he lives, he will kill us all. | ||||
16:30:25 Nov 7th 08 - Prince Validus Septim: Septim walked in moments later and a soldier relayed what happened. Septim approached the bars and knelt down. | ||||
17:31:16 Nov 7th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: Dak, along with Phil and Tom, were quickly alerted and made their way to the holding cells. They saluted General Septim when they saw him and regrouped with Ulren and Finn, who were already there. | ||||
19:11:02 Nov 7th 08 - Prince Validus Septim:
"Good, follow me, and keep your weapons aimed at him," said Septim as he pointed at his prisoner. Septim led Dak, his team, and his would-be assassin through the base until he reached his office. Septim closed the door behind them and sat behind his desk. [[OOC: Feel free to fast-forward to the mission! :D]] | ||||
19:46:25 Nov 7th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: Dak and his team arrived outside of Yelvon, careful to keep out of the eyes of others in the late hour. It was dark and was perfect for the operation. Dak was carrying the sniper rifle, being trained in the usage for many years. Dak brought Phil, Tom, and Ulren with him on the mission. Phil carried a rifle, Tom carried the machine gun, and Ulren carried the submachine gun. While Tom was not trained in the use of a machine gun, he was trained in hand-to-hand combat and would prefer it more. The group sat outside of Yelvon and waited several more minutes to move in. | ||||
21:38:30 Nov 7th 08 - Mr. Delran: Sharpe entered Delran's office. | ||||
23:11:19 Nov 7th 08 - Mr. Manwe: Ryo prepared his gear as ordered by Dak. He trusted the man and he thought if they had lived in a different life, they would've been friends. But that was useless. they were where they were, and there was nothing to do about it. Dak was a Sergeant and Ryo was a prisoner, not usually types that befriended each other. Ryo jerked upright and continued to prepare, breaking off the thoughts. | ||||
06:43:38 Nov 8th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus: Dak waited several minutes and then gathered his squad close together. | ||||
17:01:16 Nov 8th 08 - Mr. Manwe: Ryo nodded. "Yes, I'm ready." His fists clenched. | ||||
