For the past ten years, Antares has been locked in turmoil, locked in a bloody fight with the fledgling rebel state of Shaula. Dissatisfied with the oppressive nature of the Antares government, Captain Morrison decided to take action. Though President Thorne wasn't the most competent president in the history of the nation, there were plenty of people loyal to him, especially in the eastern areas of the country, so straight up murdering him wasn't an option for Henry, in response to this, he had done the only thing a sane rhinoceros would do. He had sparked a rebellion, starting in Hankala and Tardide, two cities arguably the most affected by the weak economy brought up by President Sebastian. Over the course of the next decade, the rebel state would absorb more and more cities, with their biggest catch being Chester, quite possibly the most important farming community that Antares had. The victory that led to the capture of Chester was enough to give Shaula legitimacy in their claim to independence, but the Antares government wasn't going to just let them take such an important city and now that Captain Morrison was planning to take Lerwick, a major port town in Antares, the government was getting serious. They had entrusted Captain Graham with overseeing the fight against Shaula, even promoting him to the highest rank within the Antares military, and though Calvin was not eager to eventually face his greatest pupil in battle, he had a duty to do...
The plotline splits into two possible outcomes here...
Now, with either plot, this will largely consist of frequent combat scenes, heavy violence (keep the gore to a minimum), plenty of tense moments. We can play either plot or we could do both in separate RPs. If it wasn't obvious, the plot is following the events of the Shaula Rebellion. Just let me know which you'd be most interested in, if you want more information, just PM regarding the plot you're inquiring about. I don't have too many requirements for the RP, but I'd like to ask for at least one, decent sized paragraph per post and some patience when RPing. Not everyone will be able to respond every day. I'm looking for 2-6 people to join me in this group. All combat is done in a freeform style, but please don't make yourself unbeatable. Strong characters are great, undefeatable characters are not.
Since this RP is set in a custom world, here is some information for you to read through when developing a character for the world. If you have any questions or comments or anything, please let me know. The world's technology is the equivalent of the United States between the late 1920s and early 1940s.
The plotline splits into two possible outcomes here...
Independence!
Though Captain Graham had many more years of experience, it just wasn't enough to defeat Shaula. The rebel army was getting more and more support. Foreign nations had even sent their support; Arcturus, Orionis, and Rigel aided the fledgling rebel state and unfortunately, it proved to be overwhelming for the shrinking Antares army. The battle for Lerwick had been a success for Shaula and with it, they added Moonbreak and Greenflower. Following this battle, Shaula had finally declared independence and had become the seventh nation of Tucana, but for how long? Will this once rebellious state thrive into the future or will it be reabsorbed into Antares in the future?
With this side of the plotline, Shaula will end up winning the war and will become an independent state. This RP will play out on the Shaula side of things for the most part, following along with their goals of separating from the parent state. Following the war, they'll soon turn their attention to helping out the Outlying Islands and will deal with the difficulties of leading a newly formed country.

Quelling The Rebellion
Though the Rebels of Shaula fought well, they were just outmatched by the experience that Captain Graham. The army of Antares managed to push Shaula back and prevented Lerwick from falling into their hands, and now, he's just working on dissolving the rebellion itself. Piece by piece, Captain Graham managed to tear apart what Captain Morrison had put together. Less than a year into the counterattack from Antares, they had managed to push them back to Hankala and Tardide, all where it initially started. Captain Morrison, his subordinates, and severals other were scheduled to be put on trial soon, with their fates to be decided by President Thorne. Calvin may have been successful in quelling the rebellion, but for how long? Captain Morrison's seeds of dissension had already been planted and they've since taken root, and like any weed, they're hard to kill. Will Shaula rise again in the future or has Captain Graham once again proven his mettle on the battlefield?
Unlike the other, this side of the plot will explore the Antares side of the story, specifically in a version in which they were successful in pushing Shaula back. This will follow Captain Graham and his army's battle against Shaula. Following their victory, they'll continue stomping out the flames of rebellion, arresting and imprisoning those who are still rallying behind Captain Morrison, and of course, they'll be preparing to determine the fates of the rebel leaders.
