Title: [OOC] Tears of Steel (Semi realistic WW1 RP)
Post by: Exodus on March 04, 2015, 06:21:33 pm
The Year is 1932
Countries have fallen and regrown as new coalition nations.
Among these are two sides, One side is known as the Maxim Alliance.
The other side is known as the Sturm Stahl Coalition, or Storm Steel Coalition.
The two sides have been locked in conflict since the fateful beginning of war in 1914.

Small countries remain independant of both sides...but conflict escapes few.

The Americas split into factions following the dreaded civil war and have remained seperated and weak.

Companies have risen to great power, supplying the ordinance to supply a conflict of this scale.

One of the last neutral safe havens are found in Japan which has managed to keep itself completely isolated thanks to hundred foot walls surrounding the entirety of the country, a feat not before seen since the great wall of China. With it is also Australia which is kept neutral thanks to it's location and the help of the natives.


In reality, despite not wanting conflict this brings the countries on both sides to the following.

Maxim-UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Portugal

Sturm Stahl- Germany, Austria, Balkans, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus/Baltic Sea countries, Russian Remnants, Remainder of Asia minus Japan.

Technology has advanced during this time as well, tanks have mainly been replaced with the clunky and tough Walkers;  Machines powered with steam engines and manned by crews of soldiers and pilots.

You are a soldier for the Sturm Stahl on the warfront of Finland, serving under the 112th Infantry Regiment.

May Honorable Steel guide you.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules:
1. Don't be a jerk to your fellows
2. Don't pull things out of your rear [No Godmodding.]
3. You will probably die, reality demands it, don't whine if you do and feel free to rejoin the game as a new character.
4. I will post an update either once everyone has posted or every couple of days.
6. No one liners or lack of character development around here. I want you to put effort into this.
5. Put the numbers 1154 in your Character Creation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mechanics:

Food, Water, Surgery- You won't have to worry about any of these unless you go behind enemy lines for extended periods of time. All of this is taken care of by Command.

Ammo- Everyone starts out with two clips of additional ammo for their weapon, this can be refilled at Homebase.

Fighting/Actions- Whenever combat occurs you will have six action points to do things.

Shooting takes one AP.

Aiming takes one AP and increases your likeliness to hit by five.

Reloading takes two AP for loading in a clip/magazine of bullets, reloading individual shot weapons takes a AP per bullet.

Melee- One AP.

Movement- One AP per five feet.

Burst Shooting- One AP but minus 7 accuracy, fires three shots.

Accuracy and Damage-
First off, there are no health points. If you get shot you will probably die.

Accuracy is based first on the range from a target and which gun you use. This means it will be more difficult to fire a shotgun at a target that is sixty feet away then at ten.

Accuracy simply checks whether or not you hit the target and where.

Damage is based upon both the gun you are using and where you hit the target, like I said this is not measured in terms of HP but rather realism. Getting shot with a handgun in the leg is much less lethal than being shot in the skull with a rifle.

All in all, don't worry too much about the measuring of Accuracy and Damage...i'll take care of that.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character Creation: That thing that you all need to do.

Home Country: [Should be in the Sturm Stahl.]

The Current State of the Americas
Currently, the Americas are locked in brutish faction wars with eachother, no faction really allies with another but simply may not attack eachother.
There are four main factions in NA
Patriots- This faction is focused solely on the conquest of the other factions and creation of a singular North America
Confederates- This faction controls most of Mexico as well as parts of southern NA
Industrialists- This faction is focused on the creation of industry and the turning of a profit and will gladly eliminate any who stand in that way. Controls most of the Western USA
Independants- While not technically a faction with a purpose, this encompasses most of Canada and the Northern USA. They simply are trying to get by through tactics of banding together.

Name: Trenton Evrard
Age: 19
Home Country: Poland
Skills: Handguns (3), Piloting (2), Medical (2), Melee (3) Total point cost: 10
Equipment: Hardvest(4), Pilot Helmet(4), Medical Kit(2) Gas Mask(1), Standard Issue Glory Handgun(1). Total point cost: 12
Traits: [Clumsy*] [Quick Learner] [Strong] [Botany**]
Other: Sociopathic INTP personality. (It is much easier to RP as someone that acts like you)

(I put the 'total point cost' thing there for me, to make sure I did the math correctly.)

*More likely to trigger possible traps, and makes more noise while moving. It is not a stealthy life for me!

**For theoretical situations that keep us behind enemy lines for long periods of time.

1154 was 861 years ago. Stop living in the past, Exodus.

Quick question, is there a repair skill/kit for an engineer type character? You know, in case we get a jeep or a SWEET MECH?
Title: Re: [OOC/Interest] Tears of Steel
Post by: Exodus on March 04, 2015, 08:23:37 pm
Ewwww, good call there Dusty. I'll add an engineering skill.

Day one: We've managed to get Rhodri as a player so far, Dusty may join considering their interest in what skills were available.
Hopefully by tomorrow i'll have more than one player for my first RP on the forums...otherwise maybe I should just give up on making RP's because that would imply I really suck at it.
Guess we'll see.

I actually watched "All quiet on the western front" yesterday, good movie, would watch young German men lose innocence and slowly die off again. Anyway, in the perfect mood for it.

Could you perhaps explain the state of Murica in more detail? What groups are fight and who are the major states and such.

Yay, first post on the IC.
It's a little short Lorknis but...that's alright for now I suppose.

That'll do. I guess Duncan will come from the Independent Faction then.

Sure, sorry I didn't include more about it earlier but...I didn't actually expect an American. Though it sort of makes sense that Americans would try to escape the faction warfare or to fight for a 'greater' cause.
