Hey! With my new abundance of free time I've decided to start another RP but I'm juggling ideas at the moment. This is inspired by Rayonson's thread, along with Hiel's and Ascelpion's own interest threads. I'm just going to give a summary of each of the RP's and I'll give info for the ones that you ask for the most and what not. Any criticisms or suggestions are welcome.

[HEADING=1]THE PEACEKEEPERS[/HEADING]
(Art cred to bradwright)
In the distant future, humanity has bounded across the stars and laying seeds of their civilizations in form of massive cities and colonies. Nations have claimed their own star systems and brought their borders along with them.
On the planet Dia, a bloody civil was has erupted engulfing the resource-rich region in conflict. One fights for reunification and the other for independence with more major players in the background, keeping a close watch on the fight. But when an incident forces one of the watching powers to intervene, a multinational peacekeeping force is sent to the planet to cease the fighting.
The major nations left standing have acclimated into ruling space as opposed to earth and their names have changed along with it.
At least two more nations to follow!
=============================================================
This is going to be a more combat-focused RP and since it isn't PVP there are some more liberties allowed but of course some balance is going to be reinforced.
The Troops to choose from
Every professional soldier of the future are using either armored exoskeletons or advanced body armor but each nation still has distinguishing characteristics and aesthetics. With the exception of the Renmi, IFV's and Main Battle tanks have been replaced with more versatile Mech suits usually piloted by a single pilot but all the more effective.
Actual UFS ground troops are few and far between but what few boots on the ground they have make up for the numbers. Each soldier is equipped advanced armor unlike anything in all the other nations and trains extensively to be their own unit. A single UFS soldier is dangerous while a small squad of UFS soldier can wreck absolute havoc. Although on most combat operations only small squads are deployed consisting of only three soldiers. The UFS's strong sense of individualism is evident in their tactics and organization almost to the point of "Combat Darwnism", a term coined by the Union in regards to the UFS combat doctrine. They rarely welcome outside help but are fiercely loyal to whomever can "keep up".
The most distinguishing factor of the UFS is the extensive use of combat drones since usually they don't have the manpower for back up. Their combat drones are piloted at base rather than on the field for maximum effectiveness and for the safety of the operators.
Renmi forces operate with bare equipment and sometimes low-tech to make up for having such a large pool of manpower. Obviously, not all Renmi soldier can have the advanced armor that the UFS has but they give their basic infantryman the next best and maybe the second best thing. Renmi soldiers are trained with unit cohesion in mind and they build off each other rather than trying to outperform one another. The Renmi work in larger numbers than other nations and are less effective when there are only a handful to work with at a time. Roles in a unit are more emphasized leading to specialized soldiers for squads like Pointmen or Marksmen.
Union forces make extensive use of exoskeletons integrated into their body armors making for strong and sturdy soldiers. The most famous of all Union forces are the Union marines who fight aboard the ships and are the first to lead away teams along with any boarding action. Union marines are usually experienced and more combat-worthy of their ground forces making them a good choice for intimidation along with actual fighting. Union marines are trained to be tactically flexible and versatile allowing for their ship commanders to send them out whenever action needs to be taken without worrying about transporting regular troops from star systems away.
Unlike regular ground troops, Union marines are usually commanded by either a squad leader then, the captain of the ship they are stationed on although the situation on Dia has foreign commanders lead them for the most part.
Still more to come!
=====================================================================
Players will play as members of the peacekeeping troops sent to planet of Dia. There they will have to cooperate with soldiers from other factions to bring about peace to the unstable Dia. Will you use this unique opportunity to bring about a more united humanity or do you have other things in mind?
This is going to be a combat-oriented RP, mind you, but there will also be more to the game than simply shooting people. Y'know they say the best fight is one where no one fights at all.

The major nations left standing have acclimated into ruling space as opposed to earth and their names have changed along with it.
Formerly the United States and a number of South American countries, the UFS is one of the first nations to colonize outside the Solar system. It would have been the largest of all the nations if it wasn't for a major pandemic that took the lives of many citizens. A pandemic caused by an alien virus found on a planet not thoroughly inspected before colonizing. When patient zero was found, the virus had spread to a number of their core planets and infected millions of people.
When the virus was cured only half of the UFS' colonies remained standing which prompted one of the UFS' more noticeable advantage over all the other nations. The mechanization of almost everything capable of being manned. Three quarters of UFS labor is electronic or robotic making the UFS one of the more scientifically advanced of all the remaining nations. Their military are also largely robotic with heavily armored drones and agile combat droid leading the way in their conflicts. Due to their small army, the UFS often engages in asymmetrical combat with their foes and are the leaders in counter-insurgency tactics making them vital in the civil-war on Dia.
The UFS kept a close watch on Dia because of the abundance of materials needed for their advanced computer parts and the planet's close proximity to their core worlds. Once it was known that the people of Dia held anti-Renmin sentiments, the UFS was quick to sympathize with them and secretly supplied the rebels in exchange for resources.

Roughly translating to "The People" in Chinese, Renmin is the more numerous of all the nations with dozens upon dozens of colonies set up and down the known universe. The largest of all colonies is set up on a once rich planet of Wei but now the entire planet is host to a single city roughly the size of the continental United States. The Renmin care mostly about profit at the end of the day and are willing to risk the lives of its citizens in order to turn a margin in the markets. But the Renmin are also known for their sheer determination.
The Renmin are notorious for their warmongering. They've had several skirmishes with just about every nation in the past and reason why the other nations haven't collectively destroyed the Renmin is because of their vast military. The Renmin has the largest military fighting force of all the nations but its constantly stretched thin due to numerous rebellions sprouting up wherever they decide to set up shop. But gathered in one place and the Renmin can take on any power.
The Renmin's main rival is UFS and they are constantly at odds over resources mostly out of spite. The UFS strongly believed that the Renmin even knew about the virus in the first place and could have helped them. While the Renmin is still bitter at the UFS for stealing its secrets in the space race and being the first nation to colonize a planet. The Renmin originally set up the colony but was driven out by its own colonists in one of the few colony wars that the Renmin lost. Now that the colony fallen into shambles, Renmin made a bold move of volunteering to lead the peacekeeping forces although it was mostly to regain its lost territory.

The Union is by far the more progressive of all the nations. They are more accepting than the Renmin and less elitist as the UFS. The Union are made of the major European and African countries with the exception of Russia. Although grouped together, they favor their own individual nationalities as compared to the UFS who see themselves completely as UFS or the Renmin who see themselves completely as Renmin, one can be part of the Union but call themselves German for example.
The Union has always been in the background but never underestimated. The big rivalry might be between the UFS and the Renmin which leaves some room for the Union to carve their own piece of the universe. Their colonies have a higher standard than most nations while keeping to the second most populous nation in space. Their military isn't as individually-focused as their UFS counter parts but enough to go toe-to-toe with the Renmin. The Union holds the strongest space fleet of all the nations. Since it wasn't the first to space or a hasty second, the Union took their time and crafted their ships to perfection resulting in impressive ships in the long run.
The Union has dubbed themselves the "Peacekeepers of the Stars" and consider themselves a police force for those who don't have a defense. They frequently step in if the Renmin are about the move in on a colony with no viable defense much to the frustration of the Renmin who dub the Union as the "Bureaucrats of the Stars". Dia was an exception because they saw the Dia rebels actually fended off the Renmin albeit with UFS equipment. The Union forced their way into the peacekeeping force as equalizers and arbiters so that there would be actual peace being brought onto Dia as opposed to a land grab by the UFS and the Renmin.

[HEADING=1]Scourge of the Necromancer[/HEADING]
Day 10
They came during the day but when they reached us it was night. We slew as many as we could but we lost the outer wall and now the inner walls are breaching as I write this. Our arrows and swords barely affect them. It is nearly impossible to see two paces in front of me. One can only see their red eyes. Their deathly eyes glow so bright in the dark. It is the only way to see them but once you've seen them up close you are already dead. These things bring the darkness with them and hell follows closely. They are heading north... towards the Great city. I pray that the Emperor's forces can hold them. My dear Tess... you may never get this message but it brings me great solace that I love you. I pray that I will see you above.
The darkness comes... only shadows follow.... night is brought to bear on the light. Who can end this plight?
It is the 10th year of Empress Aela's reign. She holds all the power in her land but even that pales in comparison to the plague that lurches towards her great city. A broken blood pact with the unholy demons has awakened the most feared being of them all. The dreaded necromancer. Day by day the unholy plague marches through the land, killing everything it touches and turning its inhabitants into undead nightmares. Orcs, Elves, Dwarves and humans alike have fallen victim to the plague's advance.
Help from the other kingdoms are scarce, fearful of the necromancer's reign. The Northern Orc kingdoms figure the Empire of Man to be the only kingdom that the necromancer seeks to destroy but the Elves of the south argue for containment. The Dwarves have only been the kingdom to send help thus far, experiencing a similar outbreak when excavating deep into the caverns below. The Dwarves send their fearless warriors and automatons to help humanity but it is only a matter of time. Neither musket or pike have significantly stopped the advance so far.
The Four Kingdoms of the Old Valley
Dwarves coming soon!
===================================================================
Desperate, Empress Aela has called upon the Valley's most bravest mercenaries for a journey east towards the mountains to escort the dwarven secret to defeating the horde. The dwarvish nobles have agreed to relinquish their secrets to the Empire of Man so as to stop the reign of the Necromancer once more.
Now it is up to the Empress' mercenaries to fetch the secret while her remaining troops prepare for the Necromancer's horde of undead warriors.

The Four Kingdoms of the Old Valley
Long ago, the Orcs settled in the valley to the north of the fruitful crescent. Up until the Valley, they were largely nomadic and followed big game into the valley. Much to their surprise, their game stopped moving out of the valley so they stopped moving as well.
The Orc tribes were strong warrior cultures that fed off of mostly meat so hunting was a necessity. They were united under one leader, a large and intelligent Orc by the name of Ortho. Ortho reunited the tribes to form one collective kingdom as opposed to a number of scattered tribes. The Orcs consider him their greatest leader and the Orc kingdom grew.
Sadly Ortho's son, Ove brought about a terrible war with the elves of the south resulting in the deaths of millions of orcs in the process. The elves also suffered as they lost a large swath of land along with thousands of elven lives as well. Elves and the Orcs are still resentful of each other and are continue to be wary of each other.

Men have forever been the longest resident of the Valley. Their lands cut the valley in two and acts as a buffer between the Orcs and the Elves while the Dwarves keep to themselves in the mountains to the east.
The Empire of Man also spent a large amount of its existence fighting themselves. The last man to expand the Empire's borders was the great Emperor Covus. Covus was a great general and pushed his forces west to the other end of the large valley and even past the valley itself. There are tales of Covus leading expeditions outside the valley and creating outposts in lands never though to have existed.
When Covus died, the lands fell to his generals and a civil war followed after. The civil war has long settled but the Empire of man pales in comparison to their status in the past. Its territories outside the valley remain long forgotten but perhaps its secrets yield a cure for the oncoming plague.

The valley extends south then transitions into a fertile grassland. The Elves effectively control the south with their swift riders. The elves have been in the valley for as long as the humans, and orcs have but because of their nature, they consider themselves much more entitled to the valley due to their connection with nature.
Dwarves coming soon!

Humanity's first steps into space were messy at first but it wasn't just humanity's own mistakes that made it messy. The endless variation of space yielded many anomalies previously thought to be impossible. Broken Sun is one of them.
In this RP you won't be playing as war heroes or wizards. You play as the pioneers of the space. Humanity's first explorers of the stars. Specifically you will play as astronauts of the S.S. Juliet. You will be from a number of countries, nationalities and beliefs but what you encounter in the stars might change that. Space is simply limitless. How will space affect you?
