Hahaha, no! Not months, I promise you :P. Actually, I'll probably have time to get it started, even despite my busy-busy, over the next few days (1-3 days) or so. But being busy isn't why I'm holding off on starting, for the most part. Just waiting for a decent number of Axis and Allied characters to appear.

EDIT: For full transparency, I've just got some homework to do. It shouldn't absorb too much of my time, and I'll be free for a fair while once I've got it all handled. Nothing serious.

EDIT 2: I'll as much as possible facilitate drop-ins after the initial starting point, but I'd just like to start with a decent number of both Axis and Allied characters. If it looks like this is gonna take a while, I'll just give the understaffed side extra NPC forces to compensate and get started. Aiming for about 3-5 per side as a starting point, but this is not divine mandate.

Pretty much done, I want to expand a bit on the personal history bits to make them jive better as its pretty basic at the moment, but otherwise its good for review mon kapitan. It is late and I have a day of work ahead of me so for now I must sleep. I expect that in my tired state its gonna be rife with spelling and grammar issues but I can fix those tomorrow.

@Commodore Robot Top notch stuff. Accepted.

As an additional thing of significance to the rest of you, the rather clumsy name of "Office of Unified Allied Operations" has been retconned into "Office of Unconventional Joint Action", or OUJA. (Credit and thanks to Commodore Robot for the name suggestion!)

Hello there, I'm interested in the RP although I'm still debating whether to join.

Question - You know how in Italy and Japan, mythical creatures are real? Well I was wondering if that could apply to the Philippines. Everything was normal until during the Philippine Revolution against America. Here's a list of mythical creatures.

And then these, these things are bloody horrifying

I'd be more than okay with that! This stuff is awesome. Also, you've reminded me to make it more clear in the intro that people are free to write in their own stuff, and it's especially encouraged with minor nations and other parts of the world I haven't myself covered. Of course it needs to be ran by me first, but yeh. There's an element of collaborative world building to it, for sure.

EDIT: The note about world building is now in. It's in the paragraph under the nations listing, if curious. It's pretty much what I've already said. Also, the reserved post under the OOC was where I was gonna keep track of new additions to the setting, as well as future operations and other such things, so expect to see that in use real soon!

I'm finding it difficult to visualise what the biosuits for the USSR look like. Do you have a picture somewhere of it?

I'll fetch a few pictures. I was actually going to put together some reference pictures for a bunch of stuff at some point.





Doesn't necessarily have to resemble any of the above, of course. So long as you can find something sufficiently similar. As the description says, they come in many shapes and sizes.

Well hey, that'd totally work for a lighter bio-armor.

While I'm here, I'll fetch some pics of German stuff as well.

Panzerkleins, in their earlier iterations, look kinda like this. This is the sort of stuff you'd have access to at this stage of the war.



Later on, tons of other variants join the fray.





Beyond this, you also have the Gehenpanzer. Panzerkleins and Gehenpanzers alike follow the same rule for bio-armors, in that these pictures aren't the only things that exist, and you're more than free to find your own pictures, so long as they fit.

Damn, that makes me want to pick German. Those suits look cool as hell, like Wolfenstein meets Warhammer 40k!
I believe earlier on you mentioned that we aren't tied to just males right? Does that apply for both sides?

Absolutely. For the sake of player options, I'm inclined to allow both genders for both sides. Justified through the nations of the war making use of absolutely everyone and everything available to them, making them a bit more lax on gender issues compared to the real world, kinda like what you saw with the aforementioned example of female soldiers in the Soviet Union.

Additional note: The experimental transport aircraft you're getting for this mission are friggin' huge, so bringing vehicles along is completely viable. They're based off of the real world Me 323 Gigant, which was colossal and could carry tanks. Just don't go too crazy.

@Hans von Lek Alright, here's my character, took a lot longer than I wanted.
I took some creative liberties with the lore so sorry if I screwed anything up.
Please do tell if something needs to be changed ^^



Also, I'd like to suggest a new name for the OUJA, the Office of Unconventional Intelligence and Joint Action aka OUIJA.
You don't need to change the OUJA, but I personally just found that to be funny

@ClocktowerEchos A few things:

1) I like it a lot. Basically accepted, aside from some things that will now follow. Fortunately they're all pretty minor things.
2) The spelling is Griffin, as it's a reference to Doctor Griffin, better known as "The Invisible Man." Although this reminds me of some of the confusion that ensued when I first tried to run this as a campaign through Savage Worlds. A friend thought the British had the mythical lion eagles at their disposal :P
3) I'm iffy on the modified C-93 being the -standard- firearm of the MI6 hunters, but I'll allow it. Because why not? :D

And number four has absolutely nothing to do with your character, but:
4) I did wanna expand it to OUIJA, but couldn't think of a way to work an I in. I'll consider retconning it again. Thank you for the suggestion!

(ps. you're quite fine to put him into the character tab.)

@Hans von LekI'll change that into the "standard" to be like a Webly or something, the C-93 was actually from me looking up stuff from the Order 1886 (which I almost used for a picture till I realized that Bloodborne fits much better). The C-93 will probably be his personal weapon or something.

I'll probably be doing a bit of a rewrite sooner or later tho, nothing too much tho.

As for the Griffon spells, I ain't chaning that, too much work and I'm lazy af

Also, something came up that slipped my mind in a talk with another player. Characters are allowed to command some NPC forces of their own, be it a team, a squad, crew for vehicles (say you're using a tank or something), and so forth. Officer characters commanding larger forces I'd also be okay with. Just do so with an eye to balance, however. If you're gonna be, say, a major with loads of guys at your disposal, they better be pretty expendable mook-ly. This also covers summoners, necromancers with spooky zombie minions, and so forth.

@ClocktowerEchos
Hello there. Just one thing. I've been thinking on it, and would it be possible for you to perhaps change your character's outfit? I was on the fence about it at first, but it does seem a smidge out of place. Initially I was like, "well it's anachronistic, but a lot of things are in this RP." But I dunno. It's not like you're going to get kicked out of the RP if you can't find something else to replace it with, but it'd just be appreciated if you gave it a look.

Overall it's honestly not as big a deal as it may appear to be for me. If it ultimately stays as is, I won't be complaining and secretly resenting you forever and ever or anything like that.




Also, on a more important note, I've been considering perhaps just saying fuck it and starting this RP, even though there's only like one Axis character right now and several more Allied ones in the works. I could always just make things work with extensive NPC-ery on their behalf. The rest can be assumed to arrive in later waves or something. But I'll wait a while more before I make that decision.

Speaking of those characters in the works, also generally checking up on everyone's character progress. How are you all doing?

@Hans von LekThe reason I used that image was because I thought it fit the aesthetic the best; the idea of beast hunters just walking around in a suit didn't really flow well in my head. I also thought it looked cooler than a plan suit.

If you can find an image that might also work, I'd be happy to use that.
