Additional Notes: Our demonym/adjective is Quodite; Quintessential is formal and rarely used.
Quintessence of Dust has a long and incredibly not illustrious history in international football, debuting in Baptism of Fire 20, in which they finished fourth. They mounted six or seven scattered attempts at World Cup qualification (33, 34, 44, 45? 49 maybe, I think 50, possibly 51 or 48, perhaps). They failed on every occasion. They participated in a couple of Cups of Harmony, and reached the semi-finals of CoH 39, eventually finishing fourth. Quodite clubs had limited success in UICA football, although BobBank FC did win an invitational tournament. Football never enjoyed great popularity in a country more interested in rugby, skiing, ice hockey, and, latterly, baseball. The history can probably be best summed up by an episode in which the only DBC team ever to compete under a Quodite flag all died of starvation and/or cannibalism, being reduced to a single member gnawing on tree bark for sustenance. The greatest Quodite football achievement was having a Candelalalalalian club buy a couple of players. (A century after Candelalalalalia and Marquez’s disappearance MN Smith retains a fanatical following among Quodites despite no long actually existing.) Since rejoining the world of international football, Quodite teams have played in three Independent Associations Championship and surprisingly reached the semi-finals of the 13th edition, finishing... you guessed it, fourth.
Football is played by men and women together. A majority of players are male but some of the country’s greatest talents, including Jessica Jensen, Masami Tamagotchi, and Marina Sundqvist were female. Football is one of the more ethnically mixed sports in Quintessence of Dust: while rugby has been dominated by the Anglo-French majority, winter sports by the Fennoscandians, and baseball by Quintessential-Japanese and -Chinese players, just about every ethnicity is well represented in top level football. Drug use, ubiquitous among some Quodite athletes, is also less common in football. Quodites are morbidly secular and republican, and can come across as snooty. They tend to regard their society and its values as more advanced. This influenced a vaguely unpleasant strain of colonialism in the 20th century, and murky attitudes persist now, especially on matters of religion (for a time, made illegal by Congressional fiat). These attitudes, which those who recall Quodite sporting participation may remember, are if anything even stronger now. Quodites will react with furious scorn to claims of supernatural or divine intervention. On the other hand, Quodites are tolerant of non-humans and have even become more accepting of non-biological intelligences (also at one time illegal; Quodites like making things illegal). Slavery is – you guessed it – illegal and Quintessence of Dust hosts the headquarters of Antislavery International. Quodites will attempt to liberate any slaves they encounter.
You may RP or godmode any footballing event. You may choose scorers, assign cards, etc.
Events that will end a player’s participation in a match (e.g. red card, injury, exit pursued by a bear) are permitted.
Events that will end a player’s participation in future matches (e.g. flagrantly illegal or immoral action that would clearly lead to suspension, serious injury or death, running off to join the circus) are not permitted.
Please do not use photographs and say they represent my characters. However, I typically RP by generating pictures like this. If you do not want me to make pictures of your players, please let me know!
Otherwise, go nuts.
