| 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. |

BOW BEFORE ARIES. To answer your question Miri, yes, that movie is extremely disturbing, but it is truly beautiful and brilliant too. There is an on-going debate as to whether any of the underworld labyrinthine scenes actually took place, or whether it was a fantasy dreamt up by Ofelia to help her understand the biggest monster of them all: her stepfather, and all the misery he caused to his family, as well as to the lands and people he had to oversee during the war. Have you ever studied Macbeth in detail? Pan's Labyrinth is horrific and beautiful in much the same way. Ironically Guillermo del Torro is the only person who I consider to have nailed the feeling of Macbeth in many aspects, while not even making Macbeth, even more so than any director that has attempted to actually do Macbeth, taking into account such greats as Roman Polanski. EDIT: If there are any horror fans here, I trust you've seen The Shining (Stanley Kubrick's version), The Exorcist and The Conjuring? Those are the best ones I've come across.

So I had a particularly large amount to smoke earlier if you catch my drift and read this thread, ended up having a weird idea for some kind of game. I was imagining it would fit the format of a pen and paper RPG or MMORPG fairly well, and the premise is that all player characters are technically the same changeling "race" but whatever form they take depends entirely on how the stars aligned on their birth, so whatever randomised birth date your character rolled upon creation their true base form would be some kind of mutated zodiac type creature. |

I'm Cancerian by the way, which is cool because it's one of the most badass looking in my opinion. My moon sign is Leo though supposedly, which just kind of looks like a pissed off furry which is considerably less cool. |

I don't think he inhaled any of that. I feel like he just kicked my cat. |
