This is something I've wanted to do ever since my Fey'Dann RP (Land of the Red Sunset) went nowhere.

I want to do a future RP story about a space war, set exactly one hundred years in the future. I want to keep the number of participants to a very small number of people I can implicitly trust to keep it going. As of yet I don't know if I even want it on Fans, and I may want to do it on Meras to keep from pulling any punches.

One hundred years keeps this story as real as we can make it. Keeps the people involved identifiable. They'll likely have the same wants and desires that we do. The world they live in will be vaguely familiar to our own.

The gist is this: We've recently begun manned travel beyond our star system, traveling to systems beyond our own. On one such planet, we find not only our first contact with sentient life, but also the best supply of the fuel that will enable us to continue our interstellar travels. The conflict of interest is understandably great, and war is inevitable. When it begins, our participants are thrown into the fray as soldiers of the United Earth.

Let me know if you are interested in participating. Be serious on your intentions, and if you think you may not be able to post to this consistently, don't put your name in the hat. If you want to just throw ideas here instead, that is most welcome. I want to be extremely serious here.

The reason I'm wanting to do this so badly is because war is one of those things that is both disturbingly real and yet beyond a sane person's rational understanding. I read things like Starship Troopers that are technically sound, engaging books, but infuriate me for the dispassionate glossing over of the human condition. I intend to make humanity the showpiece here, and to butcher and preserve it in intimate detail.

This isn't a pro war roleplay, nor is it entirely a protest against war's horror. I want to stare as hard as I can at something which is insane and do my damnedest not to blink.
