Humans have colonised every planet in the solar system and are slowly expanding. Back in the year 2788, big companies had control over Luna and Mars, but the governments on earth where still trying to control them from thousands of miles away. No country on earth had enough money to colonise other planets like the rich organisations already up there could. And the people of the Moon and Mars had had enough of being controlled. So, a war ensued. America sided with the army in space, only to be destroyed when they tried to take Mars. The commonwealth fell with London, until the last survivors were India, who were eventually nuked because there were too many of them to capture.
For the last 900 years people have been in a class system. At the top are the golds, who are mostly from families that fought against earth and gained power afterward. Next you have the upper class, which consists of all the scientists, engineers, pilots, elite soldiers (Obsidians) artists, Businesspeople, and controllers of the media. Lastly you have the lower class, which consists of miners, simple soldiers, and slaves.
Ruling over everyone is the sovereign, Octavia au lune, who advertises herself as a “leader,” because the other golds don’t like the idea of being ruled over. The previous leader, Octavia’s father, was letting the outer planets like Jupiter and Saturn do what they liked without any restrictions. So, Octavia murdered her father in his sleep, and took his place. She then nuked Rhea, one of Saturn’s moons, to oblivion. That made the gas giants behave. That was 100 years ago.
The Augustus family, the head of which is Nero Augustus, are the governors of mars. Rumours have been going around, saying they’re not sending the resources they’re supposed to have shipped to Luna, but instead sending them to someone else. This has created a lot of tension, and a rival family, Bellona, want the position as governors of mars. This is where it begins. All your characters must have ambition, they must have a goal. Whether it be to rule, or have peace, it must be something hard to get.
Key:
Luna- It’s the moon. You can’t really call it the moon anymore, as there are so many colonised moons.
Obsidian- An elite soldier.
Hello Yondor and Vitus!
A few bits and bobs worth mentioning:
Post frequency: I would like everyone to try and post at least once a day, but if there is a day you can't post on, just tell me and you can take that day off.
Describing: Once your characters get to know each other, you can describe emotions and stuff that wouldn't be visible on the outside. But if you want to do something or say something about your past, and you haven't told the other player about it, the please PM me what you do. It is important that the other player doesn't know about your backstory unless you trust their character enough to tell them. And please, don't feel any pressure for your characters to be friends, Just roleplay everything to the max. That's all I ask.
Additional rules:
Crits do more damage: Trippel damage instead of double.
Duelling: When two or more creatures fight with finesse weapons, you enter a duel. When attacked by someone in a duel with you, your AC = 10 + your PB + your Dex + your to hit modifier. If you hit in a Duel, then you get advantage on your next attack if it's against the creature you just hit. That creature has disadvantage to on it's next attack. If your roll to hit is equal to your opponent's DAC (Duel Armor class) You instead enter a push, where your weapons are locked together, and you are trying to drive you weapon into them, whilst there trying to push you away. Make an strength athletics check contested by their strength athletics check. If you win your weapon strikes true, and you hit them with a crit. If they win they push you away and that's the end of your attack action. You can't Duel with a shield.
Stamina: If a NPC who is below level 6 or a creature that is below CR 8 is bloodied (Half hp remaining) then it must make a constitution saving throw every time it is hit. (DC= 10) On a fail it is knocked unconscious.
If you haven't already, please add one scorcher (It's basically a laser gun, Dex + PB to hit, 5d10+Dex damage) And a set of Scrab skin (it's a type of armor, 17+Dex AC) To your equipment.
Your shuttles arrive in Agea. The citadel, Augustuses home, sparkles in the sun. It has massive spires, and is painted gold, white and red. You land in a massive courtyard, two shuttles, side by side. Two figures walk out of each.
[[OCC: These figures are you two. Please describe what you look like to each other in your first post.)
And last but not least, Vitus, could you add your character to this Campaign? Yondor hasn't got a Beyond character sheet yet, so he can't add his.
Exiting the shuttle is a tall (about 8.5 feet) half-elf, from what you can tell, with dark brown, almost black hair, and strangely, golden pupils. His body is all muscles, but he walks with a smooth, steady stride. He is clad in scrab skin, and wears two shortswords, with a scorcher slung across his back. Underneath the armor he wears an outfit of durable, simple black clothes, with small, dark, emerald green symbols on them. He takes a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment, and soaks up the sun, eventually smiling. He glances around the courtyard, and then at the figure coming out of the other shuttle.

From the other end comes a figure standing at 7' 8". Not quite as tall as the half-elf, but a goliath nonetheless. From his head hangs wavy brown hair that doesn't quite reach all the way to his neck. Laced within the hair are metallic decorations resembling cybernetic implants. Non-function, but stylish. He is dressed in fine clothes with a color palette predominantly made up of black with some yellow highlights. At his side is a fine rapier and his hands a violin.
"Hello there," he says to the half-elf with a friendly smile accented by the stubble of his beard. "and who might you be?"
[[OOC: Two things.
1. I will say I find it amusing that the 8' 6" half-elf was called a Goliath considering my char is a goliath.
2. I couldn't see the Scorcher or Scarab Armor when trying to add them to inventory. I do have homebrew enabled in my character creation and could see a homebrew item I'd made before.]]

The goliath returns the handshake, "Garagas Gathakanathi." He takes a quick look at the city before turning back to the half-elf in front of him, "So what brings you here, Lazaren? Pleasure or business?"

A squad of foot soldiers in grey uniforms come up in front of you both. There's about 20 of them, and they look formidable. They all in perfect marching sink, and they have the massive citadel behind them. One of them stands out from the others, because he's in a red uniform instead of a grey one. He walks to the front of the squad and salutes both of you. "Greeting, dominous. Please follow me." And he and the rest of the squad filter into a door that most likely goes into the citadel.

You come into a massive hall of white, gold and red. The floor and walls are painted marble, and the ceiling is the clearest glass you have ever seen. The hall is roughly 100m long, 15m across, and 40m high at its highest.
Garagas follows and gazes in delighted awe at the fanciness of the Augustus residence. "Will Lord Augustus be joining us soon?" he asks the red-garbed man.
[[OOC: The Scab Armor doesn't seem be mechanically correct for what you're describing. Might I suggest to instead use (studded) leather armor as a base and give it a +5 bonus. (Might want to use +x as as the base item. I'm not a homebrew expert by any means either, but just thinking here.]]

"What do you mean?"He replies. "You have yet to prove yourself worthy of his presence before you can formally meet him. In the meantime,where would you like to go? And before you ask what Amenities we have, think about what you would like to do, and I'm sure we have it. You have 24 hours of leisure before the practice war."
