War..
War Never Changes.


We have all heard the stories of how the world used to be. Fruitful, full of life. People were happy, smiling. You were safe in your home, not having to worry about being attacked. You had clean water to last you your entire life, never once did you worry that maybe today would be the day someone sliced your throat. The life of the people was peaceful, we had atomic cars and robot butlers. But then the bombs fell, and the world we once knew existed no more.

The bombs hit North America the hardest, the few were sealed away in radiation and blast proof vaults, walls of steel concrete and soil protected them and their families. But for the people on the outside who were hit in the blast were not so fortunate. The lucky ones died insantly from the blast, the not so lucky, died in the following days from the nuclear fallout, a slow painful death by radiation.

It's been two hundred and fifty years since the bombs fell, and since then, North America has started to rebuild. Remnants of civilization have reformed, and the continent has had many conflicts over the centuries since The Great War. From coast to coast it has been 360 degrees battle, enemies on every front and every day a battle of survival.

And yet, this is not where our story takes place.

Our story takes place on the other side of the pacific ocean, in what used to Japan, where a new Feudal Empire is rising, remnants of the communist China still stands strong, and forces from the Americas are searching for a new place to inhabit in the fairly non-radiated coast of Japan's mainland.

@Hillan

Hey Hillan, can I just check with you if the Nobunaga Order uses any form of firearms, or simply feudal weaponry such as swords and bow and arrows? Would no doubt be challenging to fight against though who use firearms and armour using such weapons.

They do use firearms, indeed, but they do stray away from laser weaponry.

Alright, I hope she's okay. If anything about her clashes with what the Junns should be, let me know, and I can fix it up. I was also struggling a little bit with weaknesses, so anyone is free to throw suggestions at me:






Yukiko Iwaizumi | 22 | Human

ABILITIES & SKILLS
  • Armed and unarmed melee: as a member of Major Junn's militia in Yokohama, Yukiko was trained in basic combat. While she is relatively young and still learning, she gets better everyday.
  • Scavenging/Scouting: her primary role in the Junns right now.

EQUIPMENT
  • Naginata, usually in her hand.
  • Her outfit is mostly dark in color: black boots, black leather vest over a white tank top. Occasionally, she wears a dark green coat over that. Most notable, though, is the bandages on her palms and fingers and bamboo arm and shin guards.
  • Binoculars: a small pair in her coat pocket or dangling around her neck.
  • A plain green bag: emptied before she ventures out so she can easily carry anything she scavenges for the Junns

LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES
  • Novice: she's relatively new to the militia and she's prone to making rookie mistakes. Due to this, she is eager to please and can occasionally bite off more than she can chew trying to prove herself.
  • While the average size for a Japanese woman, she is relatively small compared to men and women of America's forces. This puts her at a strength disadvantage should she ever engage in combat.
  • Dependent: she needs her community and--while she tends to do solo missions--she doesn't work alone very well, tending to second guess herself in high tensity situations.

SAMPLE POST
Yukiko leaned heavily on her polearm, breathing heavily as she recovered from the battle she had just barely survived. Slowly, she stood to her full height of 5'2". She swallowed as she eyed the three bodies around her: two men and a woman, clearly untrained in combat but desperate for the supplies in her green bag. Luckily for her, they hadn't been armed with anything more than swords and she was able to fend them off; however, she wasn't proud of the fact she had to take their lives. Soberly, she crouched by each one, closing their eyes and muttering in her native tongue, "I hope you find happiness in the next world."

After a moment of silence, Yukiko proceeded to search the bodies. If she didn't take the loot, she knew someone would come along and take it themselves. Besides the short swords, she found nothing of interest; and so, she slipped what she had in her bag before standing again. After a final, solemn look, she reshouldered her bag and turned to continue home.

NOTES
Yukiko joined the Junns after losing her parents as a way to fend for herself; she has since grown fond of her fellow soldiers and works hard to contribute as much as she can to Yokohama.

Yukiko Iwaizumi | 22 | Human


Mind a few nitpicking things I could point out, such as the choice of weapon isn't exactly something a 'amateur' would use. But it's the wasteland. Anything that's sharp or blunt will do, I suppose. Though, I reckon within the IC you should mention she uses a cruder version, maybe some form of sharpened farmer's tool that has a similar design?

Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. Yukiko is accepted.

@Hillan Nitpicking is totally fair! I want her to be good for the RP.

I'll find a better reference for the weapon and add her. I can definitely go with something completely different if you'd prefer. I just figured any weapon could be difficult to start with and I wanted something traditional with range. She'll learn eventually, lol, even if it's not over the course of this RP

| NAME: |
Aaron Ashworth

| EPITHET: |

| RACE: |
Synth

| AGE: |
16

| ABILITIES & SKILLS |
  • Aaron use's a weapon that seems to have not been used for over two hundred years, the bow. His skill in archery is most adept, even though ammo for this weapon is scarce, Aaron can simply make his own arrows. Aaron's travels have proved that most forests were left untouched (he didn't know that he was exploring dead forests for 22 miles), excluding the effects of atom bombs. Somehow he still finds it baffling that a bow and crossbow are rarely used as it is extremely easy to make.
  • Repairing contributes mostly to his bow, not wearing much armor, he finds it extremely awkward to wear those leather pads and he finds it slightly offensive when old-wear, much like baseball padding is used as armor. Aaron also adds things to what he has repaired, covering a hole with some sort of new material, anything like that he usually does when he finds the right source of material and time.
  • For survival reasons, Aaron has learned how to...make the most out of his food and beverages. He has a line between eating things like a mole rat, to a bloatfly. Both are disgusting, but...survival? He hate's eating in the Wasteland but he has forgotten that he doesn't have to eat because he is a synth.


| EQUIPMENT |
Aaron is equipped with a quiver and satchel. Within the satchel is purified water, elastic bandages, and various books that help him survive the wasteland. There are multiple maps he had created when he traveled, one of them was Las Vegas, though walking and adventuring so far he deems that map useless for now. The quiver hold's two different types of arrows, flammable and normal. The quiver only holds six arrows at a time, unlike traditional quiver's, Aaron has made a quiver that goes around his hips and when running or walking the arrows won't inevitably fall out as the arrows are strapped in against the quiver itself. There is also a bottle of oil that he use's to dip the arrowheads into to make flammable and! a lighter.


| WEAKNESSES AND LIMITATIONS |
Though, knowing how to fight he does not use his profession in archery as much. He cannot kill willingly without knowing if this person is truly deserving of death, basically a pacifist in the wasteland. Aaron cannot experience the emotion of aggression, without aggression he cannot derive the will to fight though he does have the ability to kill wasteland creatures but not the peaceful one's (the mutated deer). Learning from experience, Aaron know's that the world he currently live's in is extremely dangerous. He is always in the constant feeling of fear and cannot leave it without having the true sense of safety, thus he is bound to become timid around others and is less cooperative.


| SAMPLE POST |
Aaron leaned against the dead tree, snow falling lightly. The winds were blowing with a light tune and no one seemed to be in sight at the current moment. His fire crackled, the heat radiating from the flames. Aaron stared at the snow, each small speck falling to the ground. Aaron could feel the bitter cold against his legs as he sat, no blanket, no jacket, but the fire to keep him warm. Aaron was in a tough time and could not handle it for long-- his things were stolen and he planned to get them back, he didn't know how.
He felt guilty for letting his things go away just like that. All his hard work was gone but he shouldn't have left it so openly, even in the wild. There was this sudden urge to cry but Aaron was too stubborn and confident to let himself down. He'd have to restart, try again from point one, even if it means to steal.
His eye's began to flicker, flickering away much like the fire beside him. The whisper's in his head confused him but he couldn't put much thought into the current situation, his mind was slipping away. His mind taking a rest from the reality outside. " Shhh... "
The last thing he could remember was the crackle's of the fire and the tune of the wind. They both played so softly together, though in reality... the cold got to him. His eye's fluttered almost every second whenever he was conscious, his mind was dozing off into that sleeping abyss he was so casually familiar with.


| NOTES: |
Aaron is the replica of one of his creator's son, for experimental purpose's the creator decided to give Aaron a free-thinking mind to study how synth's gain the ability of learning. Of course, learning out of the bounds of what they are actually enlisted to or what they are set to.

I've got a question. Does the warriors of the Nobunaga Order wear samurai armour or anything like that? I mean they are modelling themselves after the ancient samurai, aren't they?

Indeed they do, they use metal armor modeled to look like that of Samurai's. It's a fair bit deformed and not really an exact match, as their ideas of what a samurai is really isn't more well informed than the Ice-Hockey fans in the Capital Wasteland.

And the elite warriors dons modified versions of T-45d Power Armor.

| NAME: |
Angelo Ortega

| EPITHET: |
| RACE: |
Human

| AGE: |
22

| ABILITIES & SKILLS |
Angelo has a talent in terms of charisma, he is able to convince people to go his way and follow behind him. He knows just what to say to get people to trust him and believe in what he is saying to be the truth. The other Talent that he has is stealth if he cant win people over with words then he will simply steal what he needs from them without their notice.

| EQUIPMENT |
Angelo carries with him a bandoleer with shotgun shells on it for quick reloads for his own combat shotgun that he carries in a holster on his left leg. If close combat isn't an option then Angelo also has ammo pack with ammunition for his long barrel hunting rifle that he carries on his back thanks to a strap on the bandoleer. He also carried a messenger bag for anything else he may want or need in the future.

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |
The reason Angelo needed to convince people so much is because Angelo has Coagulopathy a bleeding disorder so he has a weakness to actually getting injured if he doesn't stop the bleeding fast he could bleed out in moments if the wound hit a vital organ so he has less then tolerable endurance.

| SAMPLE POST: |
Angelo sighed as he was looking through the desk of an abandoned gas station. Angelo thought that it being a gas station that it would have at least a few caps or something interesting even some ammo would be appreciated. Unfortunately he found nothing that would help him just another empty building from the old days. Angelo then packed up his things and got moving he couldn't let this bad spot tarnish his treasure hunting. Once Angelo was out of the building however he heard the familiar sound of burrowing and he sighed loudly "why did it have to be mole rats" Angelo said angrily as he loaded his shotgun and started to move away but not before he saw the first one pop out of the ground near him and he quickly shot it in the face, that was one of the advantages of having a combat shotgun. Then he saw the next one coming towards him and because he was at a distance Angelo had to aim down the sights to take it down one shot injured it then the second killed it. Then their was one more but It popped up way to close and bit Angelo in his leg and he groaned loudly as he shot it in the face. When Angelo was satisfied that he finished them off he quickly pulled up his pants and saw that he was bleeding. Angelo quickly got into his messenger bag and grabbed some gauze wrapping it tightly around the wound to stop the bleeding. After a few minutes he sighed but he had to change it again because he bled through the first wrap. Once Angelo was satisfied with the second wrapping he went on his way looking for better things to find in this place....

Accepted.

@Chronothesis The synth would have matching weaknesses to the human it was modeled after. They are created to replicate and replace humans after all, he would have needed a 'base'. DNA to be created after. Besides, you said that he wasn't programmed to know how to fight, or to be aggressive, that's a weakness / limitation. Any weakness a human could have a synth would, too.
