OOC: King's Islands Green

Current Introduction and Stuff
The King's Adrian Islands, or as they're known in Lanlanian: Keinan Adrianik Öslenva, is a small island chain in the Adrian Archipelago owned by the Holy Lanlanian Empire. Canonically, they've always been an overseas territory of the Lanlania--essentially in a colony, sans the name. The islands have been heavily Lanlanianized over the decades, to the point where they're now mostly Lanlanian and the native Adrianic culture is a minority (if even still present). The islands are recognized by the Lanlanian government as personal territory of the king--meaning that, while the islands are Lanlanian, the Lanlanian government forfeits direct jurisdiction over them...to its king.

He can't be bothered to exercise control over them, though, so the King's Islands are self-governing. They don't even have to pay taxes to the Lanlanian government--isn't that wonderful? My thanks for making Soren richer though, hehehehehe. (You pay him taxes. :) )

In any case, that effectively means that laws in the King's Islands might be different than those of Lanlania. It also means that 'politician' is actually a role someone could play and be effective at it. Though, the King's Island's laws might still be similar to Lanlania proper, so let's just go with those, unless someone lobbies for something different. Here are some general details on certain controversial topics, while here is an overview on certain areas of society; pay extra attention to the law enforcement...because I will be watching you, hehehehe.

Obviously, there are Lanlanian troops on the island. There's probably a major military base, given that Estovza is nearby and that it and Lanlania don't really like each other. There'd also be several minor facilities with electronic warfare facilities and a few cruise missile bases--this island is central for exercising control over the eastern seas.

Here is a Caprecia Minor Epicmap updated with King Augustus's Island (yes, I named that just now). That would be the name of the island, of course. Main cities and their populations are:

Augustusadag96,000The capital and largest city. Think Honolulu but smaller and cooler (both literally and figuratively). The local riksdag (officially the Keinan Adrianik Öslaner Riksdag; or 'the riksdag' to locals) is based here.
Harpafel24,000A hilly town in the center of the island. A lot of the island's traffic passes through here.
Surradag32,000The largest city on the southern coast. Sees adequate inter-islands shipping.
Vastmelldel18,000A city built around a castle. Said castle has long since passed into the Bonde's hands and is still maintained and occupied. Most of Lanlania's local operations are based here.

So, yeah...setting aside, what are we RPing, exactly? Real-life, yo. Crazy and backwards, I know, but, it'll be fun...really. :p

You guys will be able to pick up pretty much any realistic character you want and do whatever you want. If it's illegal, be assured that the Lanlanian Royal Marshals will be after your ass. I'll try to add some semblance of greater order, and I'll probably be RPing as the NPCs that you'll meet from day-to-day. The important ones, at least...you'll be able to exercise some control over NPC characters in the environment. Might be more fun for us if I do it though, given that I'm the highest authority on Lanlanians and their personalities and such, and it is more fun when you're RPing with another person. You'll also be able to form your own little groups and stories, but try not to destroy the society or I'll cut you.

So, without further ado:

This stuff is asking who's interested, yes. :P

It's also asking for just what we could do. You up for that school thing, or can you think of anything better? Mind, it's not really supposed to be a national thing, or really have characters from all over the world--it's a small island in some corner of the world, after all. Though, I wouldn't really stab anyone too hard over bringing in their nationals.

I suggest an international diamond smuggling ring (since you said no drug smuggling rings, diamonds will have to do) ;)

Back in the old country I was among a group that did a "diaspora" thread which was basically living the lives Of a bunch of foreigners living in my capital, so I've done the "regular life" role play. I wouldn't mind doing that :) this might be a good opportunity to learn something about the culture and lifestyle of the islanders!

I particularly like normal life role play because you have to be good and detailed, as you can't hide behind interesting or catastrophic events, because all of the events are... Boring. You have to flesh them out with thoughts and feelings. It's really hard but rewarding I think :)

So I'd support just picking an islander and role playing as them... Diamond smuggling though >_> only if you say so

Aye...might be an opportunity for me to expand on Lanlania and its culture and things, rather than just its...military, and...how it romps around using that military or whatever.

I'm thinking that there could be a few plot lines going around, then. Maybe Flo and Blac can have their regular people, while others are cops or something...I'm sure I could spawn a small scale situation. :p

King...there's no diamonds on the island. Don't see why people would be smuggling them into /that/ island. Same could be said for drugs, honestly...they're legal in Lanlania. :p

Some could play criminals though...basically, how bout a thread where you pick whatever character and romp around the King's Islands doing as you will? :P

Within reason, of course...I'll totally shoot your ass if you blow shite up. >_>

If that's agreeable, I guess I should draft a form/character sign-up shite for it? Some of you could also coordinate/have your characters be...in the same circles, or whatever. <_<

'course, I might throw some stuff at you guys too...or pick up a puppet myself.

'course, Nents. I don't have very much planned for this, so anyone who wants in can jump in. Ditto @ King.

I've updated the OP; it now has a form for you guys to fill out. Plox do so. Try to keep it separate from your other words, as I'll probably link to them from the OP.

I'll start up an IC thread for it once we have a few of you. I'm thinking of starting it with a small personally/'who are you' quiz...just cause, you know? :p

That cool?

NAME HERE
Image or Description:Basic Data
Posted ImageFull Name: Edvard Hiedvin
DoB/Age: 396 (25 in 321)
Occupation: store owner/merchant.
Known/Strong Relations: None
Short Bio: Edvard is a Lanlanian merchant based in the Keinan Adrianik Öslenva mostly because of the absence of taxes. He owns a small fleet of freighters, most of which he inherited from his dead father, that go to and for and deliver his shipments of... Stuff. He doesn't has a specific good, and he owns a large emporium in the main city, Augustusadag, where he sells his wares. Obviously he's pretty rich. He's always considered dabbling in politics but hasn't yet choosing instead to focus on his business, which is now thriving. When his family died he decided to leave Lanlania and the islands seemed a good spot to settle. He still owns land in Lanlania somewhere, but doesn't go there often if at all. He's lonely, mostly because money isn't good company, but now that his business is mostly stable he might have a chance to cure his loneliness.

Secretly, he's always had the dream to be a masked vigilante/superhero... <_< ... >_> ... But you didn't hear that from me ;)

By the by, do you guys wanna RP in first person, or third person? I think it'd be better if we were all on the same page for the point-of-view.

I usually use third. First gets confusing chronologically speaking. Using more than one person as "I" is weird for a reader
