I'm working on a couple character ideas (I'll pick the one that turns out the best). I'm also going to take a bit of time to play through some of Valkyria Chronicles 1 again (it's been a while), before I write out a backstory. Please save me a spot while I work on it.

Also, do you know if anyone's made a character similar to Hannes Salinger, Nina Streiss, or Wendy Cheslock? I'm torn between someone similar to these three archetypes right now.

@Jotunn Draugr Not that I'm aware of. My mechanic is probably the closest, but he's just sorta generic boisterous muscle head. Take your pick.

EDIT: That was the other thing I forgot to mention. Everyone was supposed to be Private or Private First class as ranks. Doesn't really matter too much, I guess, since Lance Corporal puts you in line to be second in command (a position we're currently missing), but no one's allowed to go higher than that rank. Zark's gonna be in charge for a while.

Name: Jurgin Pierce
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Appearance: Darcsen, (AKA black hair), dark-blue eyes. Tall and muscular, burn scar on left side of face, incredibly pale skin otherwise.

Rank: Private

Class: Shocktrooper

Weapons and Equipment: Mags M1 (machinegun), Ragnaid (medical), B-Type M1 (grenade), Home-made Bayonet (designed for his Mags M1).

Personality: Quiet, obedient, all around peaceful man. Abhors violence outside of the front, but when the call to battle comes, isn't afraid to charge headlong into battle, almost recklessly so, to protect his comrades.

Bio: Born to Darcsen parents in Gallia, Jurgin's childhood was one of being bullied and mocked for his heritage. As his parents made sure to raise him to ignore the contempt his 'friends' gave him, Jurgin grew up simply tolerating the blatant hatred his peers threw his way in the form of verbal assault and on occasion eggs or even bricks in rare cases. He graduated from the academy, particularly focusing in infantry maneuvers and squad-based tactics typical of infantry.

Following his graduation, Jurgin had originally sought to settle in Bruhl before being called back to his family's side. Despite his best attempts to help comfort his father and mother in their old age, both passed away within weeks of each other. One to old age, the other of a broken heart. When the war for Gallia's independence began in earnest, Jurgin immediately answered the call to arms. While he disliked the idea of inflicting pain upon others (something his parents drilled into him endlessly), he continues to fight on in the hopes that he may represent Darcsen in a positive light. He fights to help, however slightly, improve the plight of his kin.

@Roxim Teaga Looks good to me (though, one little nitpick: Darcsens don't have last names). You can toss it over in the CS tab.

I'm off for tonight (it's waaaay too late and I need to sleep), but tomorrow I'll take another look at the thread. Once Jotunn has his CS up and accepted, I'll shoot you guys some more info and get you going.

From what i'd read they DO have last names....just that nobody uses them due to the 'incident'

@Roxim Teaga well they did get stripped of them because of the calamity, but eh. Like I said, it was just a nitpick. It's not gonna make any real difference in the RP, so you do you.

Evening ladies and gents, just dropping by to check how things are going. @Raven_Operative, the roster is up to date as of this message, so if anything else needs updating, just give me a shout. All going well, I should be able to start getting back involved some time in September, once I'm settled.
And a warm welcome to our latest batch of new faces; looking forward to seeing everyone in action.

Name: Fenrir Cheslock

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Appearance: Fenrir is a somewhat tall man, with a lean, but fit build. His hair is medium-brown and scruffy, with a matching light stubble on his face. His eyes are dark green, and the lines beneath them give him the look of constantly being tired. When going into battle, he wears a grey wool tuque.

Rank: Private First Class

Class: Shocktrooper

Weapons and Equipment:
-MAGS M10 machine-gun
-B-Type M1 grenade
-A small hatchet
-A wood-carving knife

Personality:
Fenrir gives the impression of a man who never stops moving, but never moves too quickly. Like a beast of burden, he trudges along, always being productive, but never being to excited with any given task. He's a man who, as young as he is, is already used to working long and hard.

Biography:
Fenrir ("Fen", to his friends), was born in a small suburban township in Northern Gallia. His family owned a small lumber company, and was able to send him and his sister to a prestigious school near the capital. His sister, Wendy, gained an aptitude for chemistry, and developed a deep fascination with the development of explosive compounds. Fen excelled at sports, history, and political science, and graduated at the top of his class. When their father passed away, Fen inherited the family business, and worked hard to turn the company into a sizable lumber-supplier in the region. His sister moved away, and dedicated herself to developing some sort of new "technology".
When the war began, and the Empire began moving forces into Gallia, Fen found that more and more of his customers were disappearing, and the supply chains he used to rely on were being blocked and subverted by imperial soldiers. Facing bankruptcy, he received a letter from his sister, letting him know that she was joining the Gallian militia.
Weighing his options, Fenrir saw the militia as a way to make some money while the war was stopping his business, and he hoped that this would be a way for him to keep an eye on his sister. His sister wound up being stationed in a different part of Gallia, but he was still able to request reports every now and then, letting him know that she was still alive.

RP Sample:
Fen's axe landed with a hearty "thunk", as wood chips flew outward. The clouds above glowed magenta, as the sun began disappearing over the horizon. It wouldn't be long before the swarms of insects began coming out, dancing in the cool evening air. Fen's stomach growled, impatiently. This would have to be his last tree for the day. He gave another forceful swing.

*THUNK*, *THUNK*, *THUNK*

The tree was ready to go down, he dropped his axe and gave the trunk a push to help it along. With a cacophony of snapping and the swish of the air through the branches, it tumbled to the ground, landing thunderously.

"Hey Wulf! Adal!" Fenrir bellowed. "Come give me a hand with this one!"

"Yessir!" A voice shouted back, as two young men came running through the underbrush.

Another hour of chopping, sawing, and hauling later, and the tree was taken care of. The three men stood for a moment, looking over the clearing, proud of their work for the day.

"So what do you think, gentlemen?" Adal inquired with a grin. "Should we hit the bar?"

"Again?" Fenrir responded, wearily. "You boys are welcome to go. I think I'll call it an early night."

"You sure about that, Fen?" Wulf chuckled, throwing Adal a cheeky glance.

"What?" Fenrir asked.

"You remember Ava, don't you Fen?" Adal responded, smirking more and more ferociously.

"The blondie that was there last night? Of course!"

"Fen" Adal began, like a boy lecturing his little brother. "She didn't take her eyes off you that whole night. And I've heard she's hoping you'll be there again tonight."

Fenrir gave an exhausted sigh, as a slight blush hit his face.

"Alright, alright."

Wulf and Adal roared with approval, as the three of them went marching into town.

Awesome! Also, I'd totally be willing to be one of the captured soldiers that are going to be rescued, if it fits.

And two questions.
1. If we encounter squad 7, can I write for Wendy's character as well? Given that she's Fenrir's sister?
2. Is the story following the progression of the game, or the anime, or some mixture of both? (I'm thinking of characters being killed off in the anime, that didn't have to die in the game)

No captured soldiers, just pinned down. We're doing...neither. At least so far as it's been explained.

Ah even better, my group is pinned down, waiting for backup from your squad.

And the RP must be following something. Like, there must be some basis for the progression of events, right?

Oh, and would I be able to get an intro-post up? Just to paint the picture of squad 13 and 14, holding the line behind buildings and makeshift barricades.

Aside from following the game's timeline for world events, we're pretty well doing our own thing. Lennon and myself have hacked out a plot that we're following so it's not 100% seat of our pants, but we aren't following any of the game's/anime's stories.

As for the intro post, sure, I'll write something up.

EDIT: Sure, you can play wendy. I don't think we have any plans in the works for encountering squad 7 any time soon, but if we ever give them a cameo appearance, you're free to play her.

There, just wrote up a post to:
1) show the situation
2) show where you guys are located (the building to the left of the leftmost blue arrow)
3) give you guys some orders to build your posts off. Feel free to control the NPCs (including Smythe) during your posts, you don't need to wait for me to say something like 'the shocktroopers arrived and the imps started to retreat' to begin your attack.

This battle is also a little bit different from the other ones. The situation demands that this turn into a curb stomp in our favour, so feel free to power game a little bit. Our squad (and your section) need to be wildly successful in order to attract the interest of a plot development further down the line.

As always, if you need more info/clarification or have any questions/comments/concerns about the setup, please let me know.

Haha this feels like having my cake and eating it too. Looking forward to getting something up, and to meeting the so-called Lions of the South. Gonna read through all the other relevant posts again first, just to get the setting right.

Actually, just starting to notice a pick up in my own RP's progress (applications being finished and whatnot). While I originally was going to step in here, feeling that it had died off, I'd hate to give up on my first RP here. and I'd rather not juggle between posting for this one and running another until I get a feel for the usual posts on the site.

I'm going to back out of this RP, like I said, hate to do it, but I'd rather do it now than before I started posting IC.

@Raven_Operative Okay so what happens with Charlie Section? I was waiting on writing the reinforcements in until Roxim got a post up. I can write a continuation, finishing off the conflict so we're ready for your guys' arrival. Should Pierce be killed off?
