[Active] Kochevniki - Nomads [Recruiting]

[Medvedev]

[mp3]http://puu.sh/mUJ0p/13ec2a1f03.mp3[/mp3]

Summary

The idea behind Kochevniki - "the Nomads" - is to represent Russian culture to our best ability and to offer a group for people that like to play Russian characters but haven’t found other people to RP with. The has been picked based on the fact that this name will probably be used when the group is mentioned in game. We want to distance ourselves from the “classic” concepts of Russian military groups, or left-wing radicals  and want to emphasize on a more simple civilian and paramilitary approach - more on that later. Just like many people are playing as Chernarussians, Kochevniki will play as survivors of Russian origin. This includes ethnic Russians living in the northern Parts of Chernarus and South Zagoria and the south-west parts of Russia.

Kochevniki is a passive group. This means that we will not actively engage in hostilities unless we are provoked. Self defence will be the focus. We stick to ourselves and have each others’ backs. However, internal hostilities are not prohibited.

The major part of the group will be the nomadic style of life. We will settle down in a major building, e.g. a Hospital, for a few days or weeks and then move on and find a better location. This is to on one hand offer a form of settlement to the community and on the other hand ensure safety from bandits and raiders.

The individuals within the group will each have their own sets of skills and knowledge, e.g. a local ethnic Russian would know his way around South Zagoria, meanwhile a cook would also know how to prepare food properly. This contributes to another concept of the group and that is internal RP. A reoccurring theme I have noticed in a lot of groups I have been part of during my time here, is the lack of role play between group members. The groups that have focused on internal role play allowed for great character development and stories to tell.

The Paramilitary aspect of the group will be based on:

• Everybody during this time of the infection more or less has knowledge of handling a gun. Members of the group may have a military background. Be it being an actual soldier in the past or from the civil unrests of 2014 in Crimea, Ukraine.
  
• The group has designated guards who are responsible for the group’s safety. Former soldiers will pass on their knowledge to other group members with drills and weapons training. Every role within the group should be able to host these mini events depending on the character’s skills and knowledge.

Background/Lore

Throughout history Russia had rather depressing appearance. Be it the oppression under the Tsar’s, the blood filled first democratic then socialist revolution or the Great Patriotic War, also known as World War II, when millions upon millions of Russian men and women lost their lives. More recently the weak economy due to embargoes by the European Union caused by the annexation of Crimea and last but not least the Infection itself. The vast country struggling to fend off the infected on the one end while the other isn’t even aware of it or fighting in Crimea for their independence. The infection conquered city after city, region after region until the whole country was taken in by it.

But even through these dark times the Russian people never forgot to look at life happily, to  celebrate the bright times, the victory over the enemy, or simply being alive.

It wouldn’t be a big surprise to encounter a Russian man or woman in Chernarus, considering the countries are neighboured and the northern regions of Chernarus are populated by ethnic Russians. Major cities like Novorossiysk or Sochi, known for the Olympic games of 2014, are just a few kilometers away from the small state of Chernarus.

This group’s origin lays in the city of Novorossiysk. When the infection made its way to the main city it hit hard. The local Airborne and Guards Motor Rifle divisions had fended off the first initial waves but once the main part of the local population was taken by the disease only a few handfuls of survivors still roamed the city. Eventually these strays would run into each other. Some of their greetings were filled with lead, others with relief and hope. Groups had formed after the first few weeks of getting used to the new world were over. Some stayed inside the city, claiming easy to defend locations, like the “Mikhail Kutuzov”, a soviet Sverdlov-class cruiser turned into a museum years ago, others ventured out to seek safer regions.

This group of individuals belong to the second ones. On one hand motivated by the dire need for supplies, on the other hand kicked out of the city by roaming raiders and hostile folks, they left the city in late summer. Not knowing the origin of the infection they wandered the way of least resistance: along the coast. Eventually they had the Black Mountains on the border to Chernarus in their sight. Thinking the harsh environment up in the mountains will drive away the infected as much as it will the bandits they decided to settle in the mountains.

However, the harsh winter that awaited them in the mountains was not what they expected. Not being used to cold winters the former residents of the coastal city suffered a high number of losses to the cold. Barely surviving the first two months of the winter, the tight-knit group realized that it had to go back to coastal regions with stable temperatures throughout the year in order to survive the next winter. And therefore they wandered south, into the small province of South Zagoria, known to them only as a region struck by the civil war of 2008, hoping they will find a better place to live in.

Thanking you for being a willing sacrifice.

Cheers. 

On a side note, I do know this will cause hostilities but I am pretty sure that both sides are mature enough to not let it escalate. At least not that much.

I hope...

[Emile]

But yeah, filthy ruskis, gotta remove you from our country as a Liska

[Medvedev]

I really appreciate the feedback.

Thanking you.

If you find anything that might make the whole group better/add to the experience, let me know.

[Husky]

Threads looking real good Fox best of luck!

[bunny]

Great idea! Good luck, watch out for those russian haters!

[oklama]

Too much Russian group man... Too much.

This group is actually one of the first Russian Federation type groups I have seen in a while.

Zbor and Cerna Liska are Chernarussian parties, they have no connection to Russia, just South Zagoria.

[JoffreyRP]

I like the look of the thread, The goals are a tad open ended. Does that mean you're more or less willing to evolve new goals depending on the members who join you? Or do you have a solid direction in mind?
