EUROPE 1924
What is this?
1924 is an alternate universe in which a number of key events in history took a different turn than what we are used to. A few of these changes is an ancient empire formed by England and France, a progressive Islamic state on the entirety of the Iberian peninsula, an Ottoman Republic, etc. While these changes have changed the global landscape and borders, our story will be focusing solely on Europe for the time being.
What's the plot?
The story of 1924 puts us into a world that has been at war for ten years following a rash of revolutions in central and eastern Europe. Following a succession crisis in Britannia and an economic downturn in the USSR, the German Empire, backed by the Hungarian Empire had declared war on both sides in an attempt to secure valuable resources, land and coastline. Technology has advanced rapidly since then, planes, tanks, automatic weapons and even a relatively new war machine known as 'walkers' have begun to dominate the battlefield in an effort to break the years of trench warfare that has ravaged the countryside. Many soldiers have died and while a number of shaky truces and treaties have kept a number of other superpowers in the area at bay, it is likely their eventual involvement will lead to more death.
But this rp will not be following these grand and gory stories of military heroism and bravery. Instead it will be focused on a group of civilians in German-occupied Russia fighting to survive on a day to day basis where the front lines change drastically. Food and water shortages, enemy troops and inquisitors, even your own countrymen are all constant threats in the eastern countryside. Things seem dire, but there is talk of hope, of a resistance movement growing in the northern reaches of German-occupied land, you want to fight, but you're deep within Poland, and a long and arduous journey awaits you.
Other stuff
This is meant to be a detailed roleplay, which means having a good grasp on the English language and a minimum of two to three healthy paragraphs per post. Post frequency is expected to be two to three posts a week as well. This is likely to be a rather dark and gritty RP and some rather tough decisions and situations will be presented to the group of survivors so be prepared. Other than that, feel free to ask questions!
Link to a collection of artworks that were a good deal of inspiration for me and gives an example of 'walkers'.
Brief histories of the current powers listed on the map.
