Estro's done the intro, I think he's working on his IC stuff. I'm content to wait for turn two, since finding a GM has been difficult

.... Why didn't I wait untill they were all grouped up too missile the ever living crap out of them? I dunno. Hind sight, 20-20.
 
NOTE: @willyvereb , what do you think?
I added some elements of Warhammer Fantasy.

Nation: Noble States of America Cataclysm War Remnant
Who are you: Grail-Lord Alliera Brightshield
(Bronze Dragonborne, Very High Level Holy Magic, Mount: White Demigryph)
Why are you here: The Noble States of America got there start from Noble Families moving to British North America, and eventually helping the continental army in exchange for recognition of their titles during the American Revolution. After the US got it's freedom, the nobility was allowed to keep it's titles and land, and even started accruing political power in the south. As the northern states urbanized, the Nobility moved south and west, running head long into the strange wildlife of the North American Continent and their neighbors. Over the next decades, the Southern Nobility would expand their power over the southern states as America expanded westward, encountering things great and fantastic in the untaimed interior of North America. The Southern Nobility's subtle takeover of Texas during and after it's own revolution scared the US Government. Over the next 4 years, the US Congress would fight over a bill that would de-fang the Nobility's power over the southern states. The people that this effected the worst was the 'American Elves' that flourished under the noble rule, who would have an uncertain future under the Federal Government. When the bill passed eventually, war followed afterwards. The war was a grueling 5 years, the more elite noble military smashing against a numerically superior American Military. The war was eventually decided by the work of elves, more specifically American Elves that felt that the Nobility would see to their needs better than the US government would. In the peace deal, the NSA took several Mid-Western territories as well as New Mexico/Arizona. After the war, the NSA expanded into the Caribbean at the behest of minor colonial powers, and expanded it's colonial reach as well. In a British/Canadian War against the United States, the NSA joined in to make sure to keep it's former parent/current rival down. The NSA developed strong ties to Rome, some Noble family scions going to serve with the Varangians as part of their training, Roman Tawhidism even gaining ground in the NSA. Ties were maintained with the British and Canadians as well, gaining Maryland and some other minor territory from a later war with the US. At a point during this time, the NSA bought Baja California, Sonora, and Chihuahua from the Elven Empire; using the territory to develoup a pacific fleet. After the turn of the century, the NSA started more involved traiding with Ethiopia as well as Japan. The NSA is a power on the rise, it's small size being made up for by the mineral and agricultural wealth of its' territory and it's noble protectors. . In the late 40s, a massive war took place that shattered the world, literally causing a Catastrophy and nearly destroying humanity. most of the NSA surivived, and through prayer to God, found this new world.

Advantages:

The Skills and Benefit of the Noblity: To be a Noble of the NSA, much less a survivor of the Cataclysm, means that you have skill beyond people normally in your position. Martial Skill is no exception, so Knights are naturally higher skilled than non-Knight Units in the same category. Each noble also has a 'mount' animal that is armored comparatively to them, and that can act as a separate Infantry/Special Infantry Unit if the two are separated or the Knight is dismounted.

A Country of Equals: The NSA has many species among it's number; Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Dragonborn, and even Dragons themselves. All of these creatures live as equals in the Noble States, under the protection of the Meritocratic Government and the benevolent Nobility at the highest levels of it. All people under the NSA are protected by the Government equally, and given the rights they deserve as sapient creatures. No, the Orcs are not an exception, that many of the idiots really DID want to fight.

Power of God: The Noble States of America is a country blessed by the God of Abraham, and are followers of his Son's teachings. The blessings take many forms, from heavenly intervention in a particularly bad crop year, to swaying the tide of battle at the right moment. God also empowers many of the men and women of the NSA, and not just the humans, with power many would call magic. The most powerfull of this magic is the 'Grail', a metaphysical Object that can call to any Knight to go on a quest to prove themselves righteous enough for it. Those that succeed in the quest are made Grail Knights; The most powerfull magic users known to the nation aside from the Elder Dragons, who use the most ancient of magics.

Don't worry there are portal networks and other tricks all over the place so i'm sure you'll find some way to interact.

Portals? Well those are going to have to be torn down. I can't maintain a solid expanse of war-ravaged exclusion zone if armies just decide to be popping in behind my front line now, can I?
