Forums » Looking for RP » The resistance (steampunk/ww1 rebellion (closed)

There are two starting factions, The TFA (Tyne Freedom Army) and the Rostran imperial police force. The two factions job is to go around securing territory and increasing the morale of their own side. Players will be at certain points on the map and are able to move around in these locations interacting with the NPCs and each other all with the goal of trying to further their sides objectives.

Changed! From now on players will only able to join the resistance faction unless they really want to play as the police forces.

After certain amounts of time players will be able to move from their current location to another location within a certain range depending on their mode of transport. Say on foot you can move 10 tiles but on car, over roads, you could move significantly more. To go by sea you must be at a port or a location which your faction can launch ships from.

If people like the concept but not the almost strategy game like gameplay the rp would function around I can and do have a more linear plotline for players should they so wish. This version would be much more action based rather than focused on a more overall and grand experience.

There are only two races which inhabit the island of Tyne, humans which make ue 90 to 95% of the population and the species humanity has simply called the thin ones.

Humanity: A numerous race populating most of the continent of Awreala with their machines and technology. They unlike ever other species are not born with inherent magical power and only tiny numbers are able to afford the crystals which lie in other beings to gain the magical power inside of them. However, they mostly rely on their own tools and mechanised steam powered limbs which are widely available all over ever land controlled by humanity

Thin ones: Thin ones are a much less numerous race coming from the neighbouring continent of Orax. In appearance, they resemble tall thin humans with green iris' and bald heads. They possess minor telekinetic powers and are able to lift light objects up. As such they are highly prized worker for all humans no matter their side

The TFA is the latest incarnation of resistance in Tyne. It has widespread roots across the entire island especially in the north and west, however, in the south and south-east of the island the TFA has very little hold over the area with the population there being more in support of Rostra. Most weapons the TFA possess are light arms being both rifles and pistols which ex-soldiers kept after returning home from the Great Awrealan war. Any vehicles they possess are not armoured and very few are any better than standard civilian transport. All airships are of civilian make and have no weapons.

The Royal Rostran forces are the dominant naval power on the continent of Awreala and while they did not lose as many troops as other nations fighting in the Great Awrealan war it has still returned war weary and depleted. Most of the forces stationed in Tyne currently are recruited from loyalist areas with all the officers from the homelands of the Rostran Empire. A few contingents are from the extremely loyal Rostan island of Frostari. The Rostran forces have access to much greater weapons of war but have little to no moral.

There is currently only one Brigade of Rostran troops deployed within Tyne which sizes at roughly 4,500 troops.
This brigade is made up of five battalions:
The 33rd (Comprised of natives to Tyne loyal to Rostra)
The 42nd (Comprised of natives to Tyne loyal to Rostra)
The 21st Armoured (Comprised of a mixture of natives to Tyne loyal to Rostra and Rostran homeland troops)
The 7th Frostari guards (Troops completely loyal to Rostra)
The 15th Royal engineer corps (A half sized battalion mainly manning the airships and heavy machines)

For this map, which is curently in its very basic stage, red areas, cities town and villages are ones with a majority loyalty to Rostra or directly controlled by Rostran forces. Black areas which greatly outnumber the red are ones loyal to the rebel cause.
