Freelancer: New Beginnings! [Alternative History Open Roleplay] - VincentX - 01-10-2015
It was the 23rd century ... mankind's darkest hour!
Hello, everyone. I am VincentX and I am your host for this Freelancer-inspired alternative history open roleplay.
We all know the story: the war between the Alliance and the Coalition had been raging for almost a hundred years! In desperation, the Alliance launched five sleeper ships; for them to begin again far from the war and the strife that had befallen Earth ... to start free from the prejudices that had divided us for so long!
... But what if history had taken a different turn?
What if the Alliance hadn't launched a mere five ships? What if there were many more? What if the Alliance had more time to prepare? What if more nations could have made the jump? What then? Who would they have been? Where would they have gone? What would Sirius look like now? What if you had been there at the very start of the exodus?
Which choices would you have made?
This is an open roleplay. This means anyone can participate, as long as they behave themselves and play by the rules. Anyone can join at any time, though depending on the stage of the timeline, some options will be closed. (For example: you can no long pick a nation and build a sleeper ship after they've been launched, but you may create a faction in any House once they've been established).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This roleplay will go ahead in three stages:
STAGE ONE: PRELAUNCH
In stage one, players can pick ANY Alliance nation and build a sleeper ship, limited to one sleeper ship per nation. This includes the nations in original Freelancer, so be quick if you want one of those! There is a limited timeframe for building sleeper ships. Stage two kicks off with the launch of all sleeper ships, meaning no more can be built once the exodus has begun.
STAGE TWO: EXODUS
Stage two is the journey from Sol to Sirius. In this stage, players will have to make the choices that will ultimately decide where their sleeper ship lands, based on what telemetry tells them. Landing site will greatly influence all future development of your House, so be careful what you pick!
STAGE THREE: SIRIUS
This is the real meat of the game! Once you've landed your sleeper ship, the developing fase of the colonies really starts! More details will be forthcoming later, just remember that it's a tough universe out there and your choices won't be easy.

HOW TO PLAY STAGE ONE: PRELAUNCH
1. Pick a primary nation. Nations which do not currently exist may also be chosen, as long as they're realistic (no space-Romans!).
2. Pick the primary language for your nation. (Should be a living language ... again: no space-Romans!)
3. Choose a name for your sleeper ship. The name should reflect a common idea or identity behind your primary nation. (Liberty, Bretonia, Rheinland, Hispania and Kusari are locked and cannot be changed into something else.)
4. Copy and add these to the infochart below and post.

[/font]Once you've posted your sleeper ship infocart, I will present you with multiple choices questions related to outfitting your ship. Your answers will determine what contents your ship will carry on your journey to Sirius and may or may not hold the fate of your colony in your hands. Pick wisely!
PRELAUNCH STAGE WILL LAST EXACTLY ONE WEEK. LAUNCH PROCEEDS ON SUNDAY THE 18TH OF JANUARY.
See you in space!

You are forgetting about something, that's why I put ROC adnotation here. We have IRL two Chinese governments (one of which has on-exile status) that lay claims to whole Chinese territory with slightly different borders (ROC do not claim Tibet as part of China, but they have claims to the Inner Mongolia).
As a ridiculous sidenote here, Poland does not recognize Republic of China, but trades with it.
