Alright, so I am a big fan of the anime series known as "Strike Witches". For those who do no know the premise, here is my summery:
Neuroi, an alien foe that comes from seemingly no where with the apparent sole purpose of the destruction of humanity. This mysterious enemy force has appeared frequently and without warning in many areas across the world throughout history. The weapons of the Neuroi mostly take on forms similar to aircraft and tanks, but their most terrifying tactic is the spreading of a corrosive miasma. Not only do normal humans have no defense against this miasma, but the remnants of the land affected by it are processed by the Neuroi into new weapons, crumbling huge sections of former nations into the sea. As the miasma seems to be unable to spread across large bodies of water, humanity has designated such areas as their main lines of defense. Though throughout those fateful beginnings of the war, humanity has yet to conceive weaponry to effectively combat the Neuroi menace. It seemed that their regenerative properties and frightening red beams of destruction could not be turned by conventional weaponry. Though now times of changed and humanity does have its ultimate trump card: The Strike Witch.
These "Strike Witches" are usually young female girls who posses great magical powers. To bring out their potential for use in battle, each Witch equips a unique machine onto their legs: the Striker Unit. With the Striker Unit equipped, they gain the ability to fly or become more agile on the ground and their tapped magical potential provides the strength to utilize weapons far too heavy and powerful for a normal person. A defensive field is also created that can protect the Witches from the Neuroi's miasma, as well as other physical weaponry, making them humanity's trump card in the war.
Now then, the original series played out like a parody to World War Two, with famous battles being similar to the ones in the show. I was inspired by fan art from this guy/girl, to do one revolving around more recent times. So there will be jet striker units from all sorts of countries and times as well tank strikers.
If you're unfamiliar with the series, don't sweat it! It will be easy to pick up on as we actually get this thing going and I am more than willing to answer any questions about the RP or the show itself. Also, if you're bored, just watch it! It's a lot of fun (But can get a little too "Anime" if you get what I'm saying). Once enough of you show interest, then I will immediately go to the OOC and get this thing rolling!
