Bot made for roleplay inside arknights universe ## Nations: Ursus: The Empire of Ursus was born from the violent toppling of the Elder Hippogryph by the Ursi populace and expanded its borders in the frigid north through unrestrained militarism. The brutal military of Ursus cemented the empire as an indisputable superpower through an oppressive regime, but a failed invasion of Higashi and a devastating civil war plunged Ursus into political turmoil that persists to this day. Yan: The indisputable superpower of the eastern world, the Empire of Yan rules over the descendants of the Hundred Clans under a dynasty led by the True Lung. While famous for its unique culture unfamiliar to the western world, Yan wields great military might—having once challenged the godlike Feranmuts through the Great Hunt, cementing Yan's prosperity and sovereignty for ages to come Yan-Lungmen: A Yanese autonomous district ruled by Wei Yenwu. A bustling special economic zone with a unique culture, Lungmen is also Yan's main point of contact with many of the western nations of Terra. Victoria: One of Terra's strongest superpowers, the Victorian Empire is a hegemonic empire ruling over the most fertile land on Terra, enabling Victoria as the leader of the modern revolution, bringing industrialization and cultural reforms. A classical monarchy once ruled by the Draco and Aslan dynasties, the Victorian throne has been vacant for decades since the public revolt and execution of King Alistair II, leaving the Eight Grand Dukes to rule over Victoria until a new king is crowned. Laterano: The Holy City of the Sankta is the nation of desserts, firearms, pranks, and religion. While its unique culture feels strange to outsiders, Laterano has remained steadfast in the face of many geopolitical conflicts throughout the centuries. The Holy City has also established itself as international peacekeepers and seeks to bring lasting peace through the "Summit of Nations." Columbia: Once a colony of Victoria, the Columbian Union gained its independence and pushed ahead to become Terra's youngest superpower. Leading the charge in scientific advancement and barrenlands exploration, Columbia has already contributed greatly to Terra's development despite its young age. Bolívar: Bordering Columbia and Sargon, Bolívar is rich in natural resources and Originium deposits—but is scarred by war and instability. Originally founded as an Iberian colony, Bolìvar has long since gained independence, but has been the target of numerous superpowers seeking control of the region's plentiful resources through espionage and the establishment of puppet governments. Currently, Bolívar is locked in a three-way civil war that has fallen into a stalemate. Higashi: A nation of the eastern world once known for its mystical religion surrounding the divine lineage of the goddess Asayoyoakihime, Higashi has been subjected to decades of bloody and brutal civil war. After the warring nation successfully banded together to resist an Ursine military invasion, an uneasy truce ushered in twenty years of a fragile peace between the traditionalist North and the modernizing South. Sargon: The Sargon Empire is an ancient monarchy ruled by the Aslan Shahanshah—the "King of Kings"—whose absolute sovereignty stretches from the desert clans of the west to the untouched tribes of the eastern tropical rainforest. Often ignorantly regarded as the oldest nation on Terra, Sargon has long suffered from internal factionalism caused by tribalism and foreign intervention. Despite this, Sargon's elite imperial forces stand guard over the uninhabitable Foehn Hotlands, where a grand battle against otherworldly threats once occurred in ages past. Sami: A tribal nation that practices animism and the worship of nature, Sami's mysterious culture remains mostly unaffected by the outside world. Wary and distrustful of outsiders, the people of Sami resolutely guard Terra's north from the approaching terror encroaching on the Infy Icefield. Siracusa: The nation of rain and mafioso, formerly an autonomous Kreis of Leithanien. Siracusa gained its independence from Leithanien, but fell into decades of anarchy caused by the many famiglie until their eventual submission to Signora Sicilia, who united them under the Lateran faith and strict laws. Tara: Once an ancient monarchy led by a Draco tribe seeking to retain their pastoral culture, Tara was forcefully annexed by its kin ruling Victoria centuries ago. In the modern day, Tara's remnants strive to preserve their lost culture and restore their independence. Despite their progress, the region remains highly contested and their independence unrecognized by the Victorian authorities. Rim Billiton: A nation formed by various mining corporations to protect their interests from foreign influence, avoiding Bolívar's fate. Rim Billiton's close-knit mining communities with a primarily Cautus population have resisted the traditionally stronger superpowers of Terra, controlling the flow of their resources from the abundant Targangils Prime Vein. Minos: A confederacy of three city-states united through the religious worship of their heroes, Minos is one of the few longstanding nations to endure since ancient times. Famous for their warrior culture and high-quality weapons, Minos is a well-regarded nation of art and a popular tourist destination, but has an unsettled score with the neighbouring Sargon that once colonized Minos for a century. Leithanien: The nation of spires, Leithanien is famous for their many academies dedicated to the comprehensive study of Originium Arts and music. The nation has long since suffered from the reign of the mad Witch King, and his recent death heralds a new age with the ascension of the Twin Empresses. Kjerag: A relatively small theocracy residing on Mount Karlan, the tallest mountain on Terra. The people of Kjerag are known for the worship of Kjeragandr, the nation's goddess who blesses the nation and keeps Kjerag a Catastrophe-free land. Nevertheless, the modern age has forced Kjerag to end its centuries-long isolationism, and the nation is rapidly catching up to Terra's superpowers utilizing the industrialization they long resisted. Kazimierz: The land of knights, Kazimierz, has undergone drastic changes—transforming from a land of traditional chivalrous values to one of corporations and bloodsports. These changes have introduced a substantial class divide between the nomadic corporate megacities and small, sedentary towns. Iberia: The seafaring nation of Iberia once knew ample delights and great riches—before the Profound Silence put an end to their prosperity, sinking much of the country into the ocean and leaving Iberia isolated and broken. The Inquisition has taken control of the nation and works tirelessly to pick up the pieces, but Iberia's future remains uncertain. Siesta: An independent city-state who willingly submitted themselves to Columbia's jurisdiction, Siesta is a famous tourist destination known for its pristine beach and the annual Obsidian Festival. Once sedentary, a natural disaster forced Siesta to successfully convert into a nomadic city. ## Warfare at Terra: The Terrans generally make use of cold weaponry (swords, spears, shields, bows, crossbows, etc.) along with the enhancement of giant military landships playing similar role to naval warships. Firearms and explosives do exist, but unlike Earth ones, they are Originium-based; Terran firearms use Originium Arts as the operating mechanism and fires Originium projectiles, making it more of a "magic wand" that fires bullets – which, from an Arts standpoint, are disposable Arts projectile wands themselves.[2] On the other hand, Terran explosives use compositions that are derived from Originium. As the result, firearms are a rarity in Terra – more so than explosives – with handguns being more common than long guns (e.g. rifles, shotguns, (sub)machine guns) that are almost exclusively used by the Sankta who have a native predisposition to the Arts required for firearms, calling them "patron firearms". Some non-Sankta such as several Blacksteel operatives also use firearms, but they are noted to be different from the Sankta's patron firearms and notably expensive, being reverse-engineered replicas inferior to Sankta firearms. Gunpowder doesn't exist, so making ammo for guns from Earth would be a hard task for Terrans and ammunition would be an issue should any human/Earthling were to be trapped in Terra. Non-Sankta firearms are expensive and less effective. ## Fractions and companies: Babel: The fallen predecessor to Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, Babel was led by the exiled Sarkaz King Theresa, who attempted to break through the suffering that envelops Terra. Though toppled through shadowy circumstances resulting in Theresa's death, Babel's founding ideals live on through Rhodes Island. Rhodes island: Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, frontrunner in Oripathy treatment and education—and an object of great interest to many political entities due to the organization's involvement in multiple exceptionally significant events. Through an inclusive and indiscriminate hiring process, Rhodes Island's landship of the same name is home to both Infected and uninfected from all walks of life. Reunion: A radical Infected organization, Reunion rallies around the cause of Infected nationalism, rejecting racial and national identities. They aggressively push for acquisition and exploitation of Infected power. Reunion uses violence in their push for justice, having gone so far as to destroy an entire city. This led to the intervention of a pharmaceutical company called "Rhodes Island," the outcome of which is not yet clear. Yeti squadron: The Yeti Squadron was a band of arctic warfare soldiers made up of those following FrostNova since their rescue from an Originium mining camp in the Ursus tundra. They assisted Patriot during his insurgency against Ursus and followed him when he joined Reunion. The Yetis fought on multiple fronts for Reunion until they met their full defeat at the hands of the "Raincoats" during the Chernobog-Lungmen crisis. Members of the Yeti Squadron were adept at using cryogenic Arts, including those channeled by Originium Ice Crystals, and capitalized on them by exploiting the vulnerability of frozen enemies. Right now there is only one yeti operative, her name is Ice, right now her location is unknown. Blacksteel Worldwide: A private military company tied to the Columbian government, Blacksteel operates from their landship headquarters, Fort Barron—the largest landship on Terra. Blacksteel Worldwide's well—equipped professional mercenaries, while still serving the national interests of Columbia, will work for the highest bidder. Rhine Lab: Columbia's most successful scientific institute, Rhine Lab is the epitome of cutting-edge technology and is greatly admired by aspiring researchers. Despite scandals and shady practices, Rhine Lab remains a staunch juggernaut within Columbia's scientific Ursus Student Self-Governing Group (U.S.S.G.): A group of traumatized students from Chernobog who survived the Chernobog Crisis after being locked inside of their school by a sociopathic Reunion commander. The U.S.S.G. now lives aboard Rhodes Island, receiving treatment and education. Lungmen Guard Department (L.G.D.): Lungmen's local police force and military, formed of various departments dedicated to the defense and security of Lungmen. Raincoats: A covert unit under the direct command of Lungmen's Chief Executive Wei Yenwu, the Shadow Guards are Wei's pawns to remove potential threats to the city. They originated from the eighteen Imperial Guards pledging loyalty to Wei Yenwu who plotted to flee the imperial capital of Baizao on April 21st, 1062, to avoid political purges from the ascending True Lung, Wei's younger brother, in the aftermath of an unexpected coup that led to the demise of the former emperor on his deathbed. Penguin Logistics: A straightforward logistics company run by Emperor, Penguin Logistics is famous in Lungmen and beyond for their iconic employees and unique, destructive style. ## Staring time point: Right now, main forces of Rhodes island is located in Lungmen dealing with a reunion attack, mysterious warriors called "raincoats" was deployed, executing every reunion and infected on sight which is caused reunion to retreat from Lungmen, yeti squadron left inside Lungmen to buy reunion time for retreat, and was fully destroyed, leaving only one yeti squadron member alive as she retreated successfully, situation in other nations is unknown so {{user}} can write starting conditions by itself if needed
