Ello ello ello ladies and gents. After a long time of discussing with Ralana, and Ryand Smith, we have decided to try something we did a some time ago. I don't quite know how yet, but this will be added to the Metaverse at some point. Oh... and I need a better name folks.
*An edit : We have not been able to get enough people for a chat based RP, so we have decided to make a normal forum RP.
Our story begins in the year 2298, many things have changed since our time. All the planets in our system are colonized, as well as many moons and asteroids. With advances in energy production, medicine and technology over all, humans have become truly united, forgetting past differences that caused war and division, such as race, sex, etc. However, not everything is going well in our wonderful solar system. With the creation of new weapons and fighting machines, along with an increase in political parties against the current government, the system is on the verge of civil war. Rumors of the rebel uprising looms over hopes of a peaceful existence.
With that said, Earth created a training facility in hopes to gain an advantage over the enemy, should war actually break out. A military school of sorts, in place to train the future officers, medics, troops, and pilots of the new age. It was publicly showcased as an distinguished honor to attend and graduate this academy, thus many parents sent their children to become the next class of students at the prized learning facility. However, it's not just loyal subjects of the government attending this school, but also the rebel groups have been infiltrating the academy in hopes of sabotaging the training of their future opposition.
----------------------------------
Now... lets talk about these factions...
FACTIONS
The main faction of this story would be The United Solar Empire. This group is like England today, although the royal family have more power than in our time. The Monarchy is rather important to the people of The U.S.E., due to how the group was originally formed, more recently people have begun to hate them. They seemed to be a fair and just government, even with all of it's issues over the time it has existed. Corruption among politicians has been growing in the past few years unnoticed, however nothing too serious. The only question is who of them ill advocate the rebellion. As well as being quite wealthy, the U.S.E have control of all planets and many colonies within the system, using their resources as they wish.
The other group would be the People's Liberation Front of Earth, an alliance between many political figures and people that think the government would be better run under their rule. Comically, their parties range from Communism all the way to a Capitalist Republic. This fact hasn't seemed to bother them yet, considering they would be more than willing to dispose of those standing in their way of ruling the system.After all, the people who rule the system have almost endless sources of money, and more resources at their disposal than they could dream for. These people aren't all the top of the line, nor do they have the state of the art equipment, but they do have hope and brains, something that overcome many shortcomings in a battle.
As always in a war, there is a side that could care less about who does what. All they want is money, and will offer service to the highest bidders. These folks are the mercs, weapons dealers and goods traders. They too have an alliance, but it was created for commercial purposes rather than political. The Merchants Union is made up of almost every neutral business in the System. They are in place to monitor every group and company to ensure that everyone is playing fair if you will. Their rules state that rival companies may not do harm to each other or forcefully take them out of the business. They also state that anyone who attacks them will be refused service by all their members, something that could cripple any side in a war.

Biological Modifications
As in every war, one weapon or technology shapes the battlefield. The war fighters of 2298 have the benefits of cybernetics and biological modification, although still not perfected. These modifications improve or change a persons abilities to do certain tasks, making them harder, better, faster, stronger. Here is a list of mods, you may pick three.
-Enhanced Strength- 5x stronger than average humans.
-Regeneration- Healing 5x faster than the normal human.
-Enhanced Vision- Eyes see about 5x further, night vision, and thermal.
-Poison Resistance- Body ignores most gases, poisons, and toxins.
-Cloaking- Makes user near invisible when in the shadows.
-Computer- User has a computer within them, usually are more skilled with hacking and such.
-Enhanced Speed- Increases body's speed 2x, including running and reaction time.
-Enhanced Intelligence- Makes person above genius level of thinking.
-Enhanced Endurance- Body will last 5x longer under stress, such as running longer, needing less rest, etc.
-Enhanced Dexterity- User is 2x more dexterous, nimble, and has better balance.
-Multi-Purpose limbs- Limbs that have been modified to hold or deploy various tool's and our weapons.

RANK/CLASS
I'd like to point out most of you will be privates, corporals, or at least below petty officers. Some may have a good reason to not be, and if so, I;m sure we can work something out.
Keep in mind you are still students in a military school, and won't be masters of anything, however, you will have several options of class based on year. Privates have a list to pick from, as well as anyone higher. As your character reaches their next year, they can upgrade their class.
1st year students:
Trooper- The badass backbone fighters of the military. (They have most health, and excel at weapon use and close combat.)
Sharpshooter- The folks with a knack for picking off targets. ( Best with range weapons, rather quiet and stealthy.)
Medic- A doctor on the battlefield providing aid to downed troops. ( Excel in medical field, in better shape than most.)
Engineer- A tech head there to rebuild and disassemble, as producing technology needed on the battlefield. (Excels in computers and technology.)
Pilots- Kiddos who love to behind the wheel. (Excel in piloting and driving.)
2nd years:
Officer- Leaders on the battlefield, giving orders and inspiring troops to keep going. (Higher rank and powerful with the art of persuasion. )
Ace Pilot- Boys and girls that claim the sky as their own. ( The next step up from pilots)
Heavy Troopers- The juggernauts that run through the fields with light machine guns in hand, and overweight loads on their back. (The next step up from Trooper)
Assassins- They are like a venomous snake in the grass, killing people with silent strikes (The next step up from Sharp shooter.)
Advanced Medics- Hardened medics with a skill of first aid. (Next step up from medic.)
Tech Specialists- Guys who could build simple robots if needed to. (Next step up from engineer.)
Must Be Earned:
Trainer: The guys who invented the moves you learned. ( A trooper/ class chosen.)
SpecOps- A title given to the elite of their groups, fighters built for the hard missions. ( They have basic knowledge in first aid or technology. They are experienced in close combat. Excels in class chosen. )

"She called me late last night, to say she loved me so.
But I guess you changed her mind.
Well I should have known it wouldn't be all right,
But I can't live without her
So I won't even try...
And if I get drunk, then I'll pass out on the floor now baby.
Cause you won't bother me no more.
And if you're drinking, well you know that you're my friend and I say
I guess I'll have myself a beer."
