All right, so with the start of the follow-up of Into the Black looming, I'm posting the discussion thread now for sign-ups and plot intro.
Racing the Storm will be set six months after Into the Black. The story will take place primarily in the city of Corona, a massive metropolis dominated by several major weapons' manufacturers. Corona is part of the Ivitz Federation, which has been struggling to rebuild the planet in the wake of the Scorched Earth War. They were recently put to the test in the aftermath of the war when a warlord known as Rex Sardolemuel, a former hero of the war, launched an all out attack on the federation in an effort to conquer the planet while the federation was still recovering. Before he could achieve total domination however, his fleet was checked by a final offensive from Ivitz, and Sardolemuel was killed by his subordinate Kalis during the battle, Kalis assuming control of his former master's fleet in the aftermath.
Kalis has been biding his time, but after his bombing of Lanthae, he's been growing bolder, and been employing ruthless tactics in raiding Ivitz territory, and one month ago, he scored a massive victory over one of Ivitz's main fleets. With such a disastrous defeat, things are looking grim for Ivitz. Kalis meanwhile is desperately searching for something he feels will be key to his victory, and if he obtains it, he's confident he can overrun the federation and conquer the planet.
Our characters now find themselves racing the oncoming storm, and trying to stave off total catastrophe.
So yeah, that's the plot intro, and at the start of this RP, I figure the Straccis have relocated to Corona, with Tony assuming a larger role in his family's business. Vergil has been traveling for a bit, trying to find out more about his past and his connection to Sardolemuel and Kalis. He'll be heading back to Corona at the start of this story.
Interested parties, let me know and I'm looking forward to starting!
