Noble Arms - The ASEAN War

In the twilight of World War II, a mysterious power surfaced among select humans. This power, the Noble Arm, was the ability to conjure up a paranormal weapon that can defy the laws of physics, a weapon innate in the user's mind and summoned by their will into reality. For reasons that are still unexplainable despite years of research, Noble Arms only take the form of weapons from before the First World War, however, despite the antiquity of these forms, the power they bear to the battlefield is unlike anything modern technology has been able to produce.

  • The ability to manipulate the elements to the user's will.
  • Forces that can reduce matter down to atoms in seconds.
  • The strength to withstand the explosion of a nuclear missile.


All of these powers, and more wondrous and terrifying abilities, come with Noble Arms. Thus, the ones who bear them, the Arms Masters, are sought after by countries all around the world. Where once the strength of a country was decided by the technological strength of their Army, it is now judged by the power of their Arms Masters.

But this state of affairs has produced sadness and strife; the world was just not prepared for the possibility of superhumans, people who just by existing, challenge the notion of equality between men. And so Arms Masters and Normal Humans live in an uneasy state of coexistence, with radicals on both sides wishing to shatter the peace and dominate one another.

Then, in the early decades of the 21st Century, the status quo shattered again, with three groups of beings, only one of them claiming to be part of Humanity as it is now, manifesting the ability to give Noble Arms to those who once lacked them, albeit under conditions which appeal only to the desperate. These factions, known as 'The Big Three' are:



Their machinations have swept the old divisions out of the water, destroying the uneasy peace of the world as apocalytpic warfare breaks out all over it. China, once held at bay by the ASEAN countries, has rearmed and built - Literally built - an army of Arms Masters through vile procedures and is preparing to overrun Southeast Asia. The Philippines, once a bulwark against Chinese expansion, even elected a Pro-Chinese President, only for the latter to turn out to have sold out his own voters and their children to be trafficked to China and sacrificed to the Downward Descent, causing his swift overthrow and replacement with someone who isn't a Chinese puppet.

We all live in interesting times...

------

All right; I've tried running Noble Arms, TheHangedMan's RP idea, several times now, and tried to add my own spin on it once before. Now, I am trying again with my darkest RP yet.

This is a game where you play ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) or ASEAN-allied folk (US and European Volunteers) as OCs and China is the enemy. There will be both adult and child soldiers as Noble Arms are not selective and the situation is just that desperate. You are not limited to Arms Masters; people who use their own skills and technology are permitted as well.

And now, the meat of the lore.

Completed but I wanted to place this here just so the others could have a good idea of where I'm heading in case some of us didn't want to overlap in our conception. In case its needed to be said " I'm Interested".

Mostly joking, "Ha, just kidding, unless..." sort of app for power.



I'll work on a "real" app later/tomorrow. Just wanted to throw this out because at the very least, it's a fun idea. Maybe it'll work for an antagonist or something.

I've got an idea in mind... I am curious, however, how all of our characters are going to come together and interact.

Hypothetically speaking, are there Noble Arms, natural or otherwise, that are meant/designed to counter other Arms and their powers?

Block, neutralize, that kind of stuff.
