Immerse yourself within an in depth, constantly evolving server. The experience will be like nothing you have seen before, we’re bringing a unique take on an old tired version of servers. Give us a shot, see for yourself if it’s what you’re looking for. We’ll be waiting.
A couple key features of the server are as follows.
-A constantly changing server, New locations on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
-An evolving storyline that starts and begins with your input.
-Exploration is encouraged and heavily rewarded. Though it comes with its own risks...
-Custom lore, not built upon any pre-existing game. This leaves a lot of room to work.
-Intricately designed locations, crafted from the ground up.
-Hand picked plugins selected to make your experience that much more enjoyable.
-Quality staff that are there for you and ready to help at a moments notice.
- All staff are quite learned in their jobs, and will strive to make your experience here that much better. If you’re interested in joining the staff team, just show yourself to be a decent person. We’ll come to you, you don’t come to us.

- Every server has rules, this is obvious and used to keep order within. Refer to both the OOC and IC rules to gain a clear grasp on what is expected of you. Breaking of a rule will warrant punishment, the severity of which will depend on the rules broken. Rules are subject to change at any time, check back from time to time to keep up to date.
- OOC Rules
- -Refrain from Powergaming
- -Refrain from Metagaming
- -Think logically about your actions, and use logic when performing something.
- -Respect both your fellow players, and the staff members.
- -Use of client side mods other than Optifine or Mini-maps is outlawed.
- -Use the given resource pack.
- - Don't craft diamond armor. It can only be found, not crafted.
- - Once a character dies, It is required to make a new character application. Exceptions can be given out if a player has multiple deaths in a short span of time or other circumstances.
- IC Rules
- -Refrain from Powergaming
- -Refrain from Metagaming
- -Do not Kill on Sight or perform Random Death Matches.
- -Put "Don't forget your old shipmates" somewhere within your application.
- -Fights between characters are expected to be fought irp, not with pvp. The exception to this is when both parties agree, or in very large scale conflicts.
- -Do not enchant armor or weapons. It’s just far too overpowered most of the time. Enchanted items given out by staff will have certain properties that distinguish them.
- -RP death will happen at some point. When deciding if it’s a proper death or not use common sense. A shot to the head will kill you, you can’t ‘dodge’ out of the way. Try to refrain from killing other people’s character unless it’s fully necessary though.
- -Being evil for the sake of being evil is not a valid character motive, don’t even try it.
- -Trying to use a 'fake' gun in RP will result in confiscation and rollback of the RP. ( Tools are not guns )
- - Radio Chat and using /msg as an IC radio can only be done if both parties have a proper radio.
- - No ERP. Nothing past second base. For everyone's sake just fade to black.
- -Stealing from other characters can only be done when they are online.
Follow the server lore when possible, and use it when figuring out your character’s back story. Out of place characters and actions will be reprimanded. Lore is a first person account from the ship’s previous captain, what is written here can be known In Character. Current date of the server is 2080.
Well then… Let’s go ahead and get this started, shall we? Right off the bat, my name is Bartholomew Harrison. I’ve been captain of the USS Defiance for the past 40 years. I am 70 years old at this point… and I doubt I have much more time left in me. So I feel it would be proper to spend the last of my life making a proper account of our history.
Like any good story, we’ll start this one at the beginning. My ship, the Defiance, was a “Gerald Ford” class Air-craft Carrier. Forth of her class, she was launched in December of 2018. A proper gem of the United States Naval forces. She served mostly in a peacekeeping role within the Middle-East and parts of Asia. Defiance’s battle group was made up of two destroyers, a missile cruiser and an attack submarine. I’m getting off topic though… This is less than important for my goal. Let’s skip ahead a bit shall we?
We’ll get to the juicy bits now. Let’s see… In 2020 things started to destabilize globally. Tensions within the Middle-East had reached their apex and started to boil over into more of Asia, Africa and parts of Europe. During this time, the United States navy more or less gave up on the location and recalled most of their ships home. Defiance was among those recalled, she spend roughly a year in dry dock getting re-fitted with more advanced hardware. ( It was also during this time that the previous captain stepped down and I was promoted to the post )
Destabilization on a global level continued as the Defiance was in dry dock. Rogue nukes, bombing of civilian sectors, whole towns lit up like a bonfire… That sort of thing was even more common than before in the Middle East. And well… What happened next I still don’t know what caused it. Some sort of Cataclysm, an act of God perhaps? Whatever it was, it came without warning. The Oceans quickly started to rise. I don’t mean the tides came in, I mean the oceans just… the coastal cities were quickly flooded and washed away. Millions died and soon even more would fall. With no delegated course of action, Defiance was quickly launched from drydock with a skeleton crew on board.
Without official orders, we set about working as a rescue ship. Picking up those we could from the cataclysmic flooding… We couldn’t save everyone though… Many were left behind but we did what we could. The boat was full of people at this point, civilians… Most of them had no clue what was going on. Few had any more possessions than the clothes on their backs. Everyone watched as the land was slowly swallowed up, vanishing from view beneath the waves.
Shock, depression and sickness was rampant in those early days. A metal tub in the ocean isn’t the most hospitable place to spend the apocalypse after all. We waited near what used to be New-York, waiting for orders from… someone, anyone. But they never came and so we departed. Where to? We didn’t really know at that time. We just had to find somewhere, and keep these people safe.
We sailed through the sea, looking for anything that might assist us. We didn’t see much in those early days, a lot of ruined cities beneath the waves… even more bodies. Bloated and floating on the surface. It took over a year before we received a clear, proper signal, from Greenland of all places. This raised moral greatly and we quickly altered our course and headed there with all haste.
Upon arrival, we were almost out of supplies and fuel. We limped into port on fumes… It was worth it though. Greenland was rather “together” at this point. Or as much as you can be after the apocalypse. It seems they’d survived rather intact, I guess their higher elevation protected them from the worst of the flooding? Who knows, and honestly I didn’t care at the time nor do I now. The important part was they were alive and had survived. Many people left the ship that day, not able to stand it anymore. We received quite a few volunteers though, eager hands to assists on the ship.
A deal was made with what remained of the Greenlandic Government. We’d sail the seas, looking for survivors and directing them… home. In return we’d be granted fuel, supplies and manpower for the ship. It was a fantastic deal, and honestly our only option at that point. We spent our time at port, then set out to fulfill our end of the deal. We sailed around locating other survivor colonies as we did so, always spreading the news of Greenland to those that would listen.
Not everyone we met was as… hospitable as those in Greenland. Seems many people lost their civility and humanity, I can’t blame them though… Raiders and thugs were a problem, a major problem. They’d roam around in smaller boats and attack travelers, they’d even attack us at times. We were strong enough to repulse them more often than not though.
I’m getting off track though, let’s speak of the colonies we visited. The Major ones are as follows…
Our role has slowly evolved over the years, and with it the ship as a whole. We’re everything from a courier and a transport ship, to a defence ship or a rescue floater. Our flag is synonymous with society and freedom, people know it when they see it. The ship too hasn’t stayed the same either, we’re now a floating city. Buildings, Farms and Windmills adorn the flight deck rather than planes. Small towns crop up in the lower decks and the hangar… People build a home wherever possible. If I had to estimate… I think we’ve got at least ten-thousand people on board at any time. Sometimes even more….
Those are the major hitting points though, I think I’ve covered it nicely and left a good record for future generations. I know I’ll be gone soon… I hope my son can continue to lead our people into the future and keep them safe. Captain Bartholomew Harrison

I’m getting off track though, let’s speak of the colonies we visited. The Major ones are as follows…
- United Greenland. Greenland stands alone as a beacon of hope within the new world. It’s a center for trade and commerce between those that remain. It’s got a proper military force and even a banking union… Surprisingly it remains standing. We served under it, in various capacities.
- PerChile. An alliance between the remains of Peru and Chile, nestled in the Andes mountains. Decent people and often receptive of visitors and traders. Real quality people, good surprise in this sort of age.
- China… China always has a plan it seems. They've survived mostly in the area around the Himalayan mountains. Their society is rather totalitarian at this point. I can understand the reason behind it. They’re slightly xenophobic though and only trade with outsiders when they must.
- United Union. Remains of Canadian and United States people. They’re hunkered out in the rocky mountains. It’s sad to see how far we’ve fallen… They’re in a sort of caste society now. It’s a mockery of what we once were. We still trade with them, and deliver messages though. You can’t be choosy at this point.
- Ethiopian Republic. Surprisingly, Ethiopia was in rather good shape. Guess their highland location paid off in the end. Not much is known about the current situation within there though. The whole colony is closed to outsiders aside from the docks. They’re extremely intolerant and suspicious of people. To even be able to dock requires a permit.
- South African Warlords. Ethiopia’s neighbors to the south. South Africa is mostly divided up among various warlords who all control a small sliver of the area… And yet they still continue on like before the apocalypse. Diamonds are still mined up using slave labor. It’s a surprisingly large trade still, I guess people will always want luxury.
- Middle East Conglomerate. Portions of the middle east survived, and they still continue to pump out oil from their deep wells. This loose collection of states charges top dollar for some of the last oil left, but who knows how long it’ll last.
Our role has slowly evolved over the years, and with it the ship as a whole. We’re everything from a courier and a transport ship, to a defence ship or a rescue floater. Our flag is synonymous with society and freedom, people know it when they see it. The ship too hasn’t stayed the same either, we’re now a floating city.

Why do you want to play on this server?
It seems like it's a nice roleplay server, and I've been looking for a good one that's not too controlled by admins

Nope
What does meta-gaming mean to you?
When you use something that you know from real life in the roleplay. Sulphur hasn't been discovered, but knows what it is.
What is your Role-Playing history? (Dungeons and Dragons, Elder Scrolls)
I've played a few sessions of dungeons and dragons ( That's what the sulphur example is from ). I only got to level 2, but I managed to survive a dragon ( by being knocked out the whole time )
What Role do you want to take on? (Warrior, Wizard, Priest;See Wikia for full lists)
I'm sort of torn between Necromancer and in the Wizards guild, both of them seem pretty interesting, but I think i'd wanna be a Wizard in the Wizards guild.
Can you show any on your Creations?: If you mean builds, then I've only got a few in imgur albums here and here
Where you learned of this server:
Just browsing the objective servers
Have you read the Lore?
Yes, it's very weird, yet still interesting
What Kingdom would you like to ally?
Dragonrend, seems appealing.
Have you joined our forums? (Optional)
No, but after a bit of playing I might.
Will you join a town or build one? (Must be a dedicated player to build a town)
I will join a town, as I don't like the stress of creating my own.
Your Timezone(For RP events)?
Est, Gmt -5:00
Will you be dedicated?If so how often will you play:
I'll try to play every day and can probably get a least an hour on each day
Info on your character:
Name of your Role-Play character(Will be your name in-game):
Aust Galanodel
Characteristics (Age,Appearance,Race,Etc)
Although Aust has a bit of Wood elf in his ancestry, he is mainly a human, but taller than average, and slightly sharper ears. He's got brown hair and dark brown ( almost black ) eyes. He's got generally clear skin, and a small nose. his hair is usually short, but can get slightly long if he goes off adventuring. Aust doesn't have the average skinny build, but is more square. He's slightly muscular, because he works out, but doesn't need it considering he's a wizard. Some of his nails are short, and others long, due to a nail biting problem. His legs and feet are of average size. Aust is currently 18, and has been for almost 4 months.
Short Backstory(Your origins, significant events in your life): [Optional, but really recommended]
Aust was born in the far away land of Elleniore. At age 10, he was sent off to the Fiant academy of wizardry ( the biggest and best wizard school of the known land ) and learned about magic until he turned 17. During his time at the academy, Aust decided that he wanted to explore the world. Only a month after he graduated, he boarded a ship, the Maria Love. On the travels, many died in a shipwreck. They landed on an area. The ship was repaired, and it went back off to sea. Aust however stayed at this land, the land of Arksandr.
Your alignment: (Lawful Good,Lawful Evil, Neutral, Chaotic Good, Chaotic Evil;Beware! Decision Will affect gameplay)
Aust has always had good intentions, but not necessarily good ways of doing them. Chaotic Good.

Humans were forced to move. Then came the angels. The creations of The master Angel that were meant to save the humans. Of course that idea didn't end well. The darkness got to the angels.

"I'm flash, you'll see why, Can't do it in public. You're obviously against the darkness, but you're not quite a power. We're resisting the darkness. The angels aren't all united you know? They all work in groups for the same cause. You've got good karma readings, too." *By the time he finishes explaining you're at what seems like one of those light military bases he was talking about.. it seems small, but when you enter, after he places his handprint, it's incredibly large* "So this is the base of the resistance. A trained group of good karma people in the War. I'll show you why they call me flash"
*Flash suddenly sprouts glowing wings*
"I'm an Arch-Angel"
