Moon Base Missions are over this way! Until we come back to Exsilium, please consider using the short form first. Click on this link for more information!

Small Group Missions
Mission Request form last updated 08/19/13.
These are missions for groups of two to eight characters (though there may be some flexibility on that character limit).
Do you want some unexpected forced bonding time? A group training exercise? Here's the place to get that! By requesting a Small Group Mission, you will be given an opportunity for your group of characters to be sent on a mission by the Initiative. These missions will be small in scale compared to the game-wide missions -- a game-wide mission could change the tide of an entire war; these missions will often be seemingly inconsequential, but could potentially have long-reaching effects.

Perhaps your characters will be sent to the French countryside in 1723 with the instructions to raid a carriage and steal a small wooden box inside of it, or to the Reconstruction-Era United States with the instructions to find a certain man and invite him to a bar with the purpose of getting him so drunk that he passes out, or to simply walk into a library in Egypt and collect several scrolls. But perhaps that small wooden box contains an important treaty that is being transported to be signed. Perhaps that man is, in fact, a US senator who will now be late and miss out on voting on a new law. Perhaps those scrolls were housed in the Library of Alexandria and only days away from being destroyed in the fire.

When assigning missions, we will be taking factors such as the size of the group and the particulars of the kind of mission you, as players, want to see your characters on. The more specific you are, the better we can meet your needs!

Solo Missions
Solo Missions are much the same as Small Group Missions, but are undertaken by a single character. You have the option of writing out a solo log about the mission, or simply handwaving it. These missions can be used for character development purposes and/or as a way to explain your character's absence when you go on a hiatus. Please state exactly what you want your character doing for this mission.

MISSION REQUEST FORM
<b>Character(s) involved:</b> <b>Preferred Location:</b> This field is optional. Do you have a country, biome, or otherwise specific setting in mind for this mission? <b>Preferred Time Period:</b> Again, this field is optional, but if you have one, please state it here! Double check that your time period is not in conflict with your preferred objective. <b>Preferred Mission Objective:</b> Specific detail is highly suggested. What do you want your characters doing, and why? What objective would they have? What can you see the Initiative wanting? (You don't need to know this so much!) Having a clear idea of the sort of mission you want and what you hope to achieve from it helps us get back to you sooner! General statements like "I'd love murder, please" are not so much helpful; "I'd love to go on a murderous rampage during the Civil War in the United States, on the side of the Rebels" is better, and we can help find the importance of it to the Initiative. <b>Expected Mission Duration:</b> If you have an idea, or would like the mission tailored for something that takes a longer or shorter period of time. Played out mission times don't need to match the actual duration of the mission. That is to say, you may have your characters go on a mission for three months in the past, while only one week to a month passes in the present game time. <b>Additional Notes:</b> Anything else you'd like to add.

Character(s) involved: Death Knights! Thassarian, Koltira Deathweaver, Sevilla Brightwing, Thereth
Character skillset: Death Knights are good at killing. It's what they're made for. This mission would definitely be suited for them- it's highly unlikely that they would be able to contract the plague that hit Athens. And even if they did somehow, I'd sure it would only make their own diseases more virulent.

This is basically just a teamwork exercise for the Knights here in Exsilium! Like a company picnic, but for Death Knights!
Preferred Location: On a boat near Athens!
Preferred Time Period: 430BC
Preferred Mission Objective: The scenario we have in mind revolves around the Plague of Athens! The plague arrived at some point through the city's port. Well, the Death Knights are going to go and stop it from ever arriving.

The mission would ideally take place on a ship bound for Athens, where infected passengers and sailors are carrying the plague. The Death Knights will need to cull the ship and make sure it never arrives in Athens. So, probably, kill everyone, light the boat on fire, and come back before they become too crispy.

Doing this would either make Athens win the Peloponnesian War or greatly delay their defeat, resulting in a more unified Greece for a longer time. Possibly making them able to resist the Roman conquerors and separating them from the Roman empire Either that, or just prolonging the "Golden Age" of Ancient Creece and giving us more philosophizers or something. Unsure of the long-term consequences, sorry. ;;
Expected Mission Duration: Just one night.
Additional Notes: Nothing, really!

THE MISSION:

Hey guess what the Death Knights are allll going to 430 BC to experience the potentially-literally breathtaking views of the Plague of Athens! Owing to their... Particular talents, and their personal states, the Initiative has chosen to just send all of them to ensure the eventual success of the mission. The group will simply be transported to a boat approaching the docks of Athens, but yet far enough out that anything released aerially should a fire... 'happen', won't affect the city itself. The task is simple: be Death Knights in an enclosed space.

THE FALLOUT:

Several things in recorded history took place due to the Plague of Athens, but few seem more closely related than the Peloponnesian War. The ultimate result of the lack of this plague is indeed a more unified Greece, as the war comes to a much more narrowly accounted defeat. Owing to the plague having also originally spread to Sparta, both nations ultimately wind up decimating each other, but remain stronger than they would have otherwise. However, the result the Initiative is hoping to achieve is actually religious. During the plague, as it struck both those who did not believe in the gods as well as avid worshipers, the Athenian belief in the pantheon was shaken. Without this, the Greek pantheon survives until much later; rather than being entirely overtaken by the Roman, the two become one, and withstand Christianity's eradication of both. This shifts the ultimate site of Christian power from Rome to Constantinople later on, allowing the city to withstand invasion from the Ottoman empire.

THE NOTES:

You guys basically wrote it yourselves idk why i was even here
