Aura Hyperia was originally created from the merging of the regions Bloemfontein and A Second Try, and then arose from The United States of Europe. Its former residents have rebranded themselves as the Hyperion Order, and currently reside within New Hyperion.

Founded: 29th October 2014

The regional roleplay has now started! Talk to Lord Aragonn about joining!
What is New Hyperion?
New Hyperion (NH) is a region of NationStates. It is an empire built on the principles of Hyperionism, our guiding philosophy.

Great! How do I sign up?
Hold on there, buddy, you haven't even registered yet! You'll have to scroll up (or just click here) and take care of that first.

After that, take a look at those four forums at the top of the list. The Low Orbit Welcome Wagon is where you can apply for Plebeianship and introduce yourself. You can undergo Patricianship if you're interested in leadership. For everything else, go to Imperial Service.

What if I'm a diplomat?
Go to the Immigration Desk instead, and we'll get you masked.

What's the government situation look like?
Our region has three main levels of command: the Imperial Council, the Inquisition, and the Hyperion Senate.

The Imperial Council (IC) consists of the Autarch, Chancellor, Lord Inquisitor, High Lords, and military command. It assembles when sensitive or secret decisions need to be made. Its members otherwise act separately as department heads and administrators.

The Inquisition is the law enforcement of the region. Inquisitors ensure that all members are complying with any requirements currently set in place, and, along with the Lord of Development, also controls admission into the Patrician caste. The Judiciary, our courts system, also exists as part of the Inquisition.

The Hyperion Senate consists of all our Patricians, and is the primary body of law and policy. The Senate operates somewhere between a democracy and a mob, and doesn't necessarily need hard votes to get things done. While the IC is technically superior to the Senate, it is more common for the Councillors to participate as Senators. As such, the Hyperion Senate tends to be the most important part of the entire government.

Is that it?
Of course not, that would be dry and boring. Granted, the Hyperion Senate is about as boring as a discussion on abortion, but you probably don't want to deal with its squabbles and silliness 24/7. That's why we have the Imperial Service and the military.

The Imperial Service consists of the various departments, such as Foreign Affairs and Recruitment. All departments are volunteer-only, though enlistment and training in the Hyperian Guard is highly recommended for all members. In general, however, you will be encouraged to join under-staffed departments.

Oh yeah, didn't your recruitment telegram mention an RP?
Why yes it did! While we allow other RPs, of course, our main RP is the one that sets the standard of our theme and culture. It's kind of complex and involved, but once you get the ball rolling it's about as smooth sailing as any other RP.

What if I need help?
Pop us a question. Our patience is legendary. ;) You may also check the Great Library of Trantor for answers to some of the more common questions.

Okay, so there's a new RP. My first question is... how the fuck does this actually work?

Um..... well.... for OOC, yeah that is going to an infrasonic WMD that will be aimed at Laurentus States or Frostmark. But of course neither of them know it :D

IC, yeah. We are using it for research. ;)

And does what, make people have mildly uncomfortable experiences?

You need a pretty specific set of circumstances for a "sonic weapon" to do anything to the point where it isn't really viable to call it a weapon. And why the hell do you need a radioactive isotope for this anyway?

Because different parts of the human body oscillate at different frequencies, with higher Hz and frequencies it could easily break bones and kill people.

Apparently 240 decibels is what you need. The article even says so though.

Don't look at my isotopes!

You would probably have to use something on the order of a 240 dB source to get the head to resonate destructively, and at that point it would be much faster to just hit the person over the head with the emitter and be done with it. So while we still cannot use infrasound to defend ourselves against dangerous severed heads and have not found the "brown sound" that would allow us to embarrass our friends, infrasound can cause potentially dangerous effects on living bodies—as long as you have a very high-powered pneumatic displacement source or operate in a very contained environment for a long time.

This is what I'm not understanding, you're attempting to use an overly complicated method of attack when you could just... send a nuke or something and get the job done faster. And how exactly do you think this will work, that you'll project the sound out of the sky somehow?

You can't just come up with an idea to do something in an RP and then just do it IC without fully explaining how it works and that you're actually developing it IC. You can't keep your isotope idea secret or you're as good as not even actually developing it in the RP. When it comes to development it's not the same as battlefield tactics and plans which can feasibly be kept secret from other players, tech creation needs to be specifically discussed beforehand.

Nobelium-253 literally has no known use except for research. So are you using it as a Phlebotinum?

Because nukes are frowned upon in RPs, I think this would better. It kills the same amount of people, just without the radiation. Plus, it's a weapon that is rarely talked about or used and it can work. Sound is already used in riot control, so turn it up and it definitely can kill or at least injure people and soldiers so badly that they just won't be able to fight anymore.

As well, I kinda forget what I wanted the isotope for. It was so long ago. I think I wanted to use the isotope to power the missile or bomb that would then kill the people. But honestly, I don't think I need it anymore. I might find another use for it, or I might not. Oh wait, I remember what I was using it for. Since that amount of sound needs a lot of energy, I was going to somehow use the isotope to power up the infrasound device. But that is silly since Hydrogen cells are a thing.

I do have a question for you Tau. I need that armor ASAP. When do you think I can get it?

In modern RPs maybe, but considering how this is FT with Imperium of Man tech not so much. You still haven't really explained how this is going to work, and until you do it can't happen.

I think I'm going to have to do something to make this clearer.

I do believe that the article says that the eye vibrates at a frequency of 9Hz. At a volume of greater than 300 dB, you could make someone go blind, even if it's only temporary. If you can't see, you can't fight.

...does the silence mean that nobody has anything to combat my argument with?

Check and mate. And I assume everyone's silence on my post means everyone agrees. Great!
