Alternate-Dimension World War RP

Orange = New Content
Blue = Old Content

Title: *TBA*

In an alternate dimension, Earth is engulfed by the fires of war. Warriors from every corner of the Earth battle to claim victory for their country, and also to find out who or what REALLY started this epic conflict.

Choose your country, your character and your fighting style! Even make up your own country!

Fight using subordinates if you advance up the ranks far enough!!

-----------

Facts:

I will be relying heavily on http://www.random.org/.

There will be PvP, but if one side should die, they get to reselect and fight again from their same rank, with most if not all of their previous gear.

There WILL be a point at which PvP is turned OFF.

There will be NO godmode. No controlling another player's response or anything else.

-----------

Rules:

1. No Godmoding.

2. If possible, end your post with something someone can respond to, to ensure continuous play. Example: An action that requires a response.

3. No Overpowered Countries! Example: A country inhabited by the children of deities or gods. They can do everything ever, and bring whatever they want into existence by thinking about it.

4. You mustn't start with an Overpowered character. Example: An expert marksman whose Titanium armor does not hinder his maneuverability, and makes him invulnerable to all but the most powerful attacks. Additionally, he starts with laser eyes and a handcannon! looool!

The conflict seems so large that your characters would be insignificant. Couple this with the fact that if you die you just make another character who happens to be almost the same as your old one and it seems like proper character development would never be able to happen.

In the past almost all of our RPs have been very character-centered, you seem to be trying to make an rp that is mostly based around combat.

Combat in rps rarely works well.

I'm not saying that this couldn't work, but the above are my immediate concerns around it. I also apologize if any of that makes no sense/is dumb. I'm at school currently and don't have a lot of time to type it out carefully. I would like to know more about how you would plan to do this though.

As you've read, Combat is a part of my RP, but not the only part. As well as combat, Participants will be doing some Investigator work.. The "Who started this war, and for what purpose?" type of thing.

The idea just started forming in my head an hour ago, but I've ironed out most of how it's going to go already.

This isn't quite a free-roaming RP, as well. There will be a plot.. Just a different type.

Notice how I mentioned subordinates? Maybe they'll play a part.

I can imagine a young, impressionable soldier taking the place of a dead commander whom he idolized, couldn't you?

Currently working on Rules, Systems, etc.

Noticing that I may require an additional Game Master to assist me.

PM me if you think you've got what it takes!
