The world of Fortus has forever been seen as a world gifted with prosperity. Human evolution, in all of its brilliance, had reached it's near peak over the course of time. Building up in civilization, humans created and adapted technology to help them in their everyday needs. However, even humans of Fortus are prone to warfare and technology was no exception to it. During the year 2167 R.C., a group of scientists, engineers and mechanics from different parts of the world created the first mechanized assault suit. They were called “Valkinai Suits” named after Professor Valkinai who headed the project. This suits were meant for exploration of the oceans and dealing with areas that hazardous to humans.

Around the same time, the country of Licentia and the land of Priscus united under one banner and formed “The United Nations Federation” or “UNF” for short. Together, with the technology created by Professor Valkinai, they charged themselves with world peace and began fortifying their army with these bipedal robot suits. However, in the year of 2174 R.C., many incidents of people committing acts of violence toward the UNF started to trinkle in. One large group of offenders started calling themselves “The Ordo Sanctus”.

The Ordo Sanctus felt that the UNF was made on corruption and deceit and should be punished for their misdeeds. A respected diplomat by the name of Fadio Ginsburg saw the corruption first hand. After many shady and unclear dealings, Fadio, who was a front runner and looking to take a seat in the UNF council, disappeared from the ballot and not even given proper representation. He was furious with this and said he would declare war. This was thought to be just a mere threat from a lone man but this man became the leader of the Ordo Sanctus.

At the moment, the UNF see no threat in this terrorist group and are dealing with them with minimal effort. Time will tell where that may lead. As we approach the beginning of a new year, where and how this conflict ends, is now up to you.

Licentia Country:
A country made of opportunities and freedoms. It was built upon barren ground many years ago, settled by a group of individuals and became a powerful country in no time. Many centuries has passed and their technological prowess is quite advance, making things in normal everyday life simple. Despite this, they are not the most advanced country in the world, and thus still have many “primitive” technology scattered about. They even have their own branch of the UNF Headquarters.

Speria City: A big city with loads of opportunities. Many people from across the world gather here for various reasons. If you want to see the wealth of this nation, this is the place to be.

The UNF Headquarters Licentia Branch: The Licentia branch of the United Nations Federation. It's a lot smaller than the main branch but it is just as prestigious.

Priscus Country:
The largest and oldest country on Fortus. Here is where the UNF Headquarters is located. Many buildings, high and low, of all shapes and sizes. Toward the outer fringes of the country, lies lower villages that survive on scrap from the cities. Despite some city and town looks, it is a very prosperous country. People born here are usually of nobility or from a great family name. They support the UNF.

Opes: A nobler city with history dating back 1,000 years. Many bureaucrats and government officials live here nowadays. Beneath the jade and gold, however, lies some rot and decay and even such a pleasant area like this holds dark secrets. Tread cautiously.

The City of Regalis: An old city that still stands among the common era. Enhanced by technology, this classic looking city feels fit for anyone with passion, intelligence and status.

Quas Palace: A former palace of the King of Priscus. During an intense battle, it was damaged heavily and now lies abandoned. It serves as a constant reminder of the past.

Congelo Country:
A country known for their harsh winters, Congelo is one of the lower countries. It's very primitive, having to do a lot of work by hand or relying on fossil fuel to power their transportation and living conditions. Congelo is located toward the northern pole of the the world and is about average size compared to other countries.

Concilio City: Factories around every turn. Churning melting steel along with the clanking of old machines creating new weapons of war and attempting a better life. This City is a sign of how much Congelo, as a nation has to go. The fires of creating keep the place warm enough not to freeze over at night but is still dangerous to not wear warm clothes.

Navitas: One of the better cities in Congelo. Surrounding the city is a dome like structure to prevent the harsh cold winter from getting in. Rumor has it that members of the Ordo Sanctus are hiding out here.

Inops Country:
A country that is notably the smallest of all the countries. Despite it's size, the people of this country have produced many great technological achievements. Many scientists, engineers and mechanics work on experimental Valkinai Suits here for how separated from the rest of the world it is. They have a small militia to protect the secrets held here.


Scientia: A city devoted to the creation of new science. Even the simplest of machines has to do with something scientific. Many of the scientists that worked on the first Valkinai Suit reside here.

Unus Town: this city is small but is heavily protected. Less of a town and more of a fortress. This city is also the home of the Inops Militia.

The first is the Small size. This one is only about 35 feet high max. It's main purpose would be it's speed and recon but some still use it for head on offense purposes. It's not recommended, however, for the durability of smaller size Valkinai wouldn't last long in a one on one fight. To help with this, it uses energy more efficiently and last longer than other types.

The second is the Medium size. This is the most common of the Valkinai types, standing at 75 feet max. They are the most versatile and are commonly used on front lines. There have been those, however, who adapt for stealth missions. The drawback with this type is they are not really strong in any particular area on their own. For them to have any specific trait they need to be customized for the situation. Such a trait can be seen as a weakness but also a strength.

The last type is the Large size. This type is the most durable of the three and also known for having the most power. It stands at 150 feet at the max but, it is very slow and takes a lot of energy to even move effectively. Pilots must be cautious when using this type of Valkinai.

Speed Boost:
Though at first a simple concept, it is actually a worthwhile skill. With speed boost, you have three extra levels of speed that you can reach. The best part of it is that it does not take as much energy as it would normally to do this, optimizing the energy usage so that only 50% is used instead of 75%. But, use the speed boost wisely, if you use it three times in succession it could have the reverse effect and take more than you wanted. Think carefully and use this skill wisely if you choose.

Assault Barrage:
The Assault Barrage specialty allows you to fire off multiple beams/bullets at once in a unrelenting onslaught. This specialty also allows you to lock on to multiple targets, whether they be in the air, on land or anything in between. It is very effective against large forces or when trying to overwhelm a single target. However, in order for this specialty to be used efficiently, the Valkinai must remain stationary until the barrage is complete. If you move while using the Assault Barrage, you will lose accuracy and the amount of shot fired will lower, since energy will be dispersed by moving as well. Assault Barrage can only be used twice per battle before a recharge is necessary.

Sensor Dampener:
The Sensor Dampener allows the user to disable the opponents sensors, appearing virtually invisible to them. This is optimal if you wish to take out your targets quickly and without being seen. It works best in high coverage areas, at night or underwater but during the day with no cover at all it's effects are weaker. Your opponent will see you but you will still be able to through off things like the target system. The duration for Sensor Dampener is 4 posts.

Energy Shot:
The Energy shot is one of the more versatile of specialties. It allows you to concentrate 50% of your energy into either your weapon or a specific body part for a large scale attack. Examples of such are: if you have a beam rifle it will shoot farther and have a wider range of effect or if you charge your hand you would be able to rip through the strongest of metals with ease. However, this is a one shot ditch effort. If you miss, you'll be out of 50% energy and won't be able to use it again until you recharge. Use it carefully and don't try to be the hero.

Transformation:
Finally, we have Transformation. This is rather simple. It is the ability for your Valkinai to transform into any vehicle you so choose. It can be anything from a car, a boat, a jet to even a motorcycle if it is small enough. It takes 25% energy to use but you can stay transformed as long as you wish and it does not take energy to change back. However, what you can transform into is limited at the start. As you increase in level, and depending on your size, you’ll be able to change into a tank or something as big as you cannot transform into more than one thing. This is meant for those who wish to either be close to their Valkinai or so they can use it in more situations.

Rules:

Now for the most important thing here: The rules! Most are basic and common sense rules but I will put them down so no one is confused.

• No powerplay or Godmodding – Play fair, be nice, all that jazz.
• No killing someone's character without permission – This links in with rule 1, but killing off another person's character without the player's consent is a big no no.
• No Double Posting – Only if the situation demands may you post twice in a row
• No more than 2 characters per player – You are only allowed to create and play as two different characters. These characters are NOT allowed to interact with each other in anyway.
• I've received a lot of questions about post limit so here it is: Try not to completely over shadow your fellow RPers. I dont mind if, let's say, two of you are talking while waiting for one of you to post that they joined up but try not to take it too far.
• Join the discord chat! Easier to talk to people and plan ahead. discord.gg/TGT9cv8

Eye color: Hazel
Body Build: Somewhat more muscular than average
Skin tone: Slightly tanned
Handiness: Right 

He has a tanned and muscled physique from his hard rigorous training as a UNF Pilot. He keeps his hair fringed and a bit wavy, brown in color. He's a bit bigger than the average man, and his right arm is a tad more muscled than his left. He has a grim demeanour, but kind, hazel eyes.

Clothing: Grey pants, black shoes and a black shirt is the usual, with his red jacket and fingerless black gloves. His other clothes are regular ones, but he consider this his uniform.
Personality: Nanbu is usually quiet and keeps things to himself. To everyone else, he seems to be cold, reserved, unemotional and extremely apathetic towards just about anything. However, there are times when he breaks away from his stoicism on the battlefield, leading to an unexpected, hot-blooded personality. John is known to have a bad habit of gambling, often referring to a battle as a big bet, with his and his opponent's life as the ante. 

History: John was from a Militar family. His father died when he was a young boy, and his mother being an army nurse was hardly at home. Time passed by and he grew up into the habit of gambling. From cards and races to bet with his own life in the line, he always found a way to continue alive.

One day, during an attack to his mother's camp, she became injured. Said event cost her her sight and her job. Knowing nothing else, the young man tried to get money gambling, but he could hardly get enough, until an ex-companion of his father found him and offered him to become a test pilot for new Valks prototypes. The 16 years old boy accepted.

As the time moved on, he tested many models, and with that many accidents that would had killed any normal person. Although he came out badly injured, he always came out of this 'mistakes' and errors alive, and because of that it was said he possesed the Devil's Luck.

One day, returning back with his mother after a few months of working, he got involved in certain event regarding a shuttle. A terrorist attack that ended the life of all the passengers of the transport except from him and a young lady he managed to find and take out from the wreckage. Later, in the hospital where he stayed for a few days, he learned tha ther name of that lady was Excellen Allegria. Sadly, he also leared that his mother was killed during his absence. The reason was unknown, apparently suicide.

Now he continues with his work with the UNF, hoping to find a his place in the world doing the only thing he knows, gambling his life.
