[OOC] MockZ: Backyard Warfare| WWII on a Miniature Scale

[Yennefer]

MOCKZ

Backyard Warfare

The year is 2061, times have changed over the decades, and technology has boomed. Cloning, genetic tailoring, anti-aging, immunity to diseases, are all great leaps that have been taken. War, no longer exists, peace reigning over the world. But people need violence in their lives, the excitement, the adrenaline rush, the fear of winning and losing. So it was that the search for a new exciting form of entertainment came to be researched, and SuperGen was at the head of the race.

At first, some young Geneticists had developed a way for them to prepackage blank slates, for humans, no taller than an inch and a half, completely devoid of sex, or race, that could be developed by those who purchase them, and turned into the race, genders of the owner’s choice. They could create massive, yet tiny civilizations capable of great achievements, building cities, and creating their own art, religious beliefs, and Governmental systems. Unfortunately things would not stay that way, as only selling MockZ was not lucrative.

So SuperGen began to make lines of weapons, for the MockZ, Military Uniforms, Military Vehicles even, all of them completely and 100% real for the tiny humans that would be using them. This business tactic allowed them to sell more accessories, and sell more MockZ since so many would die in the combat to come. So MockZ owners everywhere began to arm their people with World War II tech level weapons, and vehicles, and began to wage massive wars in neighborhoods, making Alliances, and conquering the lands around them for their MockZ…

---

In this roleplay you will be taking on the role of a MockZ owner, a full sized human being who has committed quite a bit of money to purchasing, and advancing their MockZ civilization in both military might, and every day comfort. Your MockZ are regular human beings, except that they are between a inch, and an inch and a half. You will roleplay interacting with other owners, and having your MockZ interact with other nations of MockZ in a neighborhood sized area. There will be some game mechanics in the RP, such as controlling territory via a map, but the ultimate goal of this RP is to have fun, and create amazing stories.

MockZ, What are they?
When a customer first purchases their MockZ they will receive a sealed box, that Is container freezing that which is inside. When opening it, you will find so many tubes of frozen bodies, each of them a blank gray slate to work on. Then you will also find a console in which you can completely customize every aspect of these bodies, from skin color, hair color, to sex, build etc.

Now MockZ may be purchased from stores, and created in labs, but they are living breathing creatures, intelligent, and understanding of their own existence. When MockZ were first created, there was great debate as to whether the creation of these beings should be shut down, but money lining pockets, and promises of shares soon ended the debates and it was approved and pushed through, making MockZ one of the biggest selling products in the world, that was 10 years ago.

When MockZ are born (defrosted, and dumped out of their tube), they appear exactly as you created them, with knowledge of language, simple math, reading, writing, and your name. The first two weeks of their life is the most important, as that is when they soak up the most information, and knowledge you teach them, SuperGen has posted hundreds of education videos online for your MockZ to watch. Unfortunately these did not include War Tutorials, in which MockZ owners must find other ways to educate their MockZ in the ways of War.

Rules of Engagement!
Combat Between Mockz is very closely watched to be sure that no weapons technology surpasses that of World War 2, and that which would be considered WMDs, which are against the laws placed over owning MockZ small scale bombings, and such being allowed, but nothing larger than that. It is also stated that the owners of MockZ themselves cannot physically get involved in combat, and abusing such things would violate the purchasing agreement of MockZ, and cause SuperGen to come retrieve all your MockZ.

Building your MockZ
Yes, it’s realized that between all the different nation choices you may not want to stick with just one. That is perfectly fine, also depending on an Aesthetic aspect you choose for your MockZ does not decide skin color, and culture. You can easily have Africans who wear German Nazi Uniforms, and have a US style Democracy. Other than that, everything is up for grabs consider the anti-aging of the MockZ and the fact that they are essentially immortal when it comes to diseases, and dying of old age, staying perpetually at whatever age you created them.

Now, even though you can mix things, it is very important you be careful about what you mix. You do not want to buy your MockZ several hundred American rifles, then buy them a bunch of Russian Rifles, the learning of different weapons can be hard in a military environment, and makes it difficult for your MockZ to train. The same can be said of vehicles, etc.

Mechanics
MockZ RP works just as any other RP, it’s a freeform RP, with only a few different mechanics where you actually purchase troops. Keeping track of your troops at any given time can be difficult, but please keep up with as best you can. Everyone starts off with 10k dollars to spend on MockZ, and their accessories. Then every subsequent month in the RP you will receive 500 Dollars to replenish MockZ, accessories with etc.

Le Map
The Map is very important, to approximately understand distance from each other, how to attack each other, what we each have in our territories etc. Each player will save a copy of the map, and draw out a section on the map in a color not previously used, and submit it to me privately, so that I can add you to the map. In your drawn out section list several areas, listed by letter as different important places where you have building, a city, base, etc. On the map will not be listed underground tunnels as they do not actually hold ground. Rather your drawn out sections will only include ground held topside.

Everyone Starts off with 10,000$
All MockZ purchases come with necessary food
(Disclaimer: I realize the prices are rather all encompassing, and that’s totally not how it would be if it were actual war. But this isn’t actual war, it’s past time entertainment for people, and they’re basically buying these things from a toy store. )

Name: Alexis Smart
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Bank: 2.00$
A tiny bit of history: Alexis was never really into the entire MockZ fad, but one day she won a contest allowing her a 10,000 dollar shopping spree at a MockZ store. She purchased whatever she could, and upon making her MockZ realized she was quickly falling in love with them. She has had them for a year now, and loves them dearly.
Personality: Alexis can be a bit of a bore, she doesn’t normally actively seek combat with other MockZ owners, rather liking to watch them explore, and building. However in the past when she was attacked, she threw the full fury of the Amazis back at her enemies forcing them to agree to a peace treaty.

Combat Style: The Amazis, use an interesting tactic of pinning their enemies with massive fire from infantry, and then digging them from their positions with more advanced amour, and aircraft. They also typically use lighting, or Blitz attacks to take their enemies unaware, usually circumventing larger enemy forces to strike behind them.

Military Organization:
General: Commands the entirety of the Military
Colonel: Typically Controls a branch, such as Armour, Air, and Infantry
Major: Majors are usually over an entire three companies.
Captain: A Captain is in charge of a Company
Sergeant: A sergeant is in charge of a Platoon
Squad Leader: A Squad Leader is a trooper in charge of a Squad
Trooper: Typical Soldier

Troop Organization
Company: A company is 80 Troopers
Platoon: Platoon is 20 Troopers
Squad: A squad is 5 Troopers.

Each Different Type of Aerial Vehicle is Watched over by a Major

Amour is watched over by a Single Colonel, and Major

Important Mockz:
General Hilde Schulz

General Shulz oversees all of the Amazi military force. She tends to be quite level headed, and trusting of the women who operate under her command. She has no desire to mix the military with the Civillians, but rather use the military as a protective force for the civillians, and as exploratory as possible.

Colonel Else Weber

Colonel Weber is over the Infantry Division, she is quite well liked, as she has a tendency to keep the women under her command as safe as possible, not wastefully throwing them into combat. She also has a love for wine.

Colonel Bernadette Muller

Bernadette is perfect for this position, as she is a very strong willed, and enjoys bringing down hell upon her enemies. She commands her tanks with absolute authority, and is highly respected among those who operated them.

Colonel Truda Graf

An excellent pilot, she has learned all the ins and outs of flying, and has acclimated herself with every aerial craft at their disposal.

Culture: The Amazis are a very German like culture, they believe in their own strength, and fending for themselves while not relying on others. They have a strong view that women are the superior sex, while males, tend to be ignorant brutes. While they do not seek their eradication, they disdain interaction with them, and will typically only interact with female emissaries.

Map Locations:
A: The main operating base of the Amazis, they have built quite the civilization in their short time in the neighborhood. The area is fenced in with nine foot wooden planks, and a series of defenses platforms built onto the fence. As well as multiple bunkers. The city itself is rather plain, mostly made of concrete, and steel, but sturdy and capable of taking the brunt of attacks, while protecting its citizens.

B: The airfield for the Amazis, it is well defended, prepared for possible enemy attacks, and able to scramble aircraft within minutes.

C: This is the training area for the Soldiers of the Amazis they report here often to practice at their firing range, and stay in their barracks. It is also where the motor pool for the Armoured division is. The leaders of the military can often be found here. Attacking the military home without having weakened the military itself fist would be a terrible mistake.

D: A listening outpost. This position is watched by the Amazi, as they look out over the lands to keep track of possible enemy units coming towards them. This position is relatively lightly armed, only hosting infantry, though it has a rather advanced alarm system that can be heard for houses around.

E: Scouting out post, they have been transporting sand from this point through a underground tunnel back to the Main Training base, this position is armed with heavy weapons, and even an anti-aircraft gun.

This sounds stupid and exactly what I did when I was younger with green men.

Please welcome British soldiers wearing German outfits and armed with American equiptment to the field.

Early Draft

(Center flag here)
Faction Name: Angladia

General Appearance of MockZ:
The Angladians are very clearly Caucasian modelled. Frontline forces are all male, however anyone who isn't holding a rifle can be either male or female, he made no specifications to which. Uniform wise, Angladians wear traditional 'tommy' uniforms from the period, although vehicle crews tend to wear more US-oriented clothing.

Purchases: (Refer to my Sheet to Format)

Military: (Refer to my sheet for format)

Combat Style:
The Angladians have what James has nicknamed the 'rolling steel' combat tactic. When war is declared, they dig in hard and let the enemy break against them, until they need to back off for recovery, before the Angladians launch counter attacks. Since James is rather wealthy, he has no issue as to losses, and commanders follow this doctrine; many men may be extended for the benefit of the overall campaign. Once they have seized ground, sappers swarm over the areas and dig in hard, preparing for the inevitable enemy attack and start the cycle anew.

Military Organization:
Ranks:
Field General: Commander of the entire armed forces
High Commander: Commander of the separate sectors (infantry, including vehicles, navy, Air Force and logistics.)
Petty Commander: Commander of various sub-sectors (artillery, tanks, etc.)
Chief Officer: Commander of a division
Officer: Commander of a regiment
Lieutenant: Commander of a squad
Private: Basic soldier

Force organisation
Sectors: Army, Navy, Air Force, Logistics
Sub-sectors: Infantry, cavalry,

A lover of history, Hayden can be said as one of the first people who fell in love with the MockZ product lines although his family never quite had a whole lot of money to go around leading to him having to share a single pack with his four other siblings. With 20 MockZ and 2 Horses to his name, Hayden poured everything into shaping the little figures and having them study countless hours of instructional videos online before releasing them into the untamed wilderness of his backyard along with the MockZ of his younger siblings (Hayden's older siblings had taken their's with them to college or their own apartments).

Everyday, the three siblings would dash to the backyard to be greeted by their little peoples who revered them as benevolent gods, always assisting their people. Hayden was most liked (at least according to his MockZ) as he was the one who brought the most gifts. However, the backyard was still an untamed wilderness and attacks by insects weren't uncommon. In an attempt to counteract the menace, Hayden spent some pocket change and bought a box of matches and a box of needles to be used against the bugs as weapons. In time, the MockZ of the Zheng family began to unify against a common threat with Hayden's leading the charge. The creatures were beaten back and there was peace with Hayden and his tribes been hailed as the heroes.

As the years progressed, Hayden found himself in possession of an increasing number of MockZ saved up from his own pocket money. It was no surprise that it was his people who would come to call the backyard their kingdom and settle it in proper although raids from foul creatures still occurred.

With the release of the new WW2 line, Hayden felt obligated in a way to "level up" his MockZ and worked hard to make the money and do the math to try and be as cost effective as possible. Recently the job of making money has gotten easier as he's found a job as an exterminator and brings his armed MockZ to assist him. While this is certain an unorthodox way of both thinking and training, it has given his MockZ some interesting traits overall compared to some other people's.

The Tiantan's history of being used in "Exterminator Hunts" has led to them developing some interesting traits and habits. For example, they operate much better at a squad/platoon level as during hunts, they have to learn to operate without direct link to a central HQ; such a lack of connection also means that squads have to be flexible and be able to improvise on the fly.

Given the nature of these Hunts, there is a noticeable lack of both armor and long range weaponry as these are deemed less important in the face of swarms of bugs. The environments of these hunts also translates into the Tiantan army being able to fight well in low light/nighttime operations as well has have a high degree of fearlessness even when outnumbered since there's few things that can scare a MockZ quite like a swarm of hungry insects which also happens to make them well suited in anti-infantry roles. All of these trains combined means that the Tiantan make for the finest close range shock troops in the area, boasting special "training" that few others can compare too.

Given the number of trucks and horses in active service, the Tiantan Army has also developed a good system of supplies and logistics, letting the Army as a whole have a reputation of being well equipped numerically.

One of the best examples of the Tiantan's ability of jury rigging is the Quad-MG mounts known as "Storm Drums" which is simply 4 machine guns lined up in a row and synchronized, capable of shredding infantry and even acting as a crude AA gun.

_{O R G A N I Z A T I O N}

The very basic formation of a Tiantan unit is the platoon which consists of 50 men and 4 squads of infantry and a special weapons squad. An infantry squad has 10 men focused around the machine gune: 6 Rifles, 3 SMGs and a LMG; the officer of these squads generally carry rifles as to not mark themselves out. A Special weapons team is made of 2 Flame Squads (1 Rifle, 2 SMGs and a Flamethrower each) and one snipe team (1 Rifle and 1 Sniper Rifle).

Above a platoon is a company made of two platoons (100 soldiers), then a battalion of five companies (500 soldiers) and finally a regiment of 2 battalions (1000 soldiers) and is the entire strength of the Tiantan army. Although most of the army is on foot, there is a single motorized company mounted in trucks. In addition, a stock of horses are granted to the army as either transports and to serve as mounts for recon if needed.

The tanks operate in squadrons of two as do the artillery who operate in batteries of two with the artillery guns being either towed by horses or spare trucks.

General Dong Honghe

General Dong Honghe is one of the oldest members of the Union Army in both appearance and actual age having been one of the Founding 100 and Hayden's older brother's leaders. A former "Communist", Dong is known as quite the stubborn hardass with what some would deem an uncomfortable level of pragmatism but he is one of the finest military might in Tiantan without a doubt.

Major Yuan Weibao

Major Yuan Weibao has been Hayden's longest serving commanders being part of the Founding 100 and has a close relationship with Hayden. He leads the 1st Battalion and has served on many a front line combat roles garnering him quite the amount of respect from his soldiers.

Major Jin Meili

Major Jin Meili is unique in her position as she commands all of the supporting elements such as tanks and artillery and logistics. Clad in handmade armor made lovingly by her former owner (Hayden's older sister), she's far smarter in terms of mental capacity than many think, able to keep track of a myriad numbers of running the Union's civilians and military. Her most famous feat was commanding an artillery gun to quite literally snipe flying bugs, hitting every one of them dead on in flight.

Major Shi Zhian

Major Shi Zhian, the new blood in the chain of command, recently promoted after the untimely death of the former Major of the 2nd Battalion. He's competent and seen his fair share of battles but he lacks command experience on a large scale, an unfortunate trait in many Tiantan soldiers. Its for this reason that Major Shi is often called as the reason the 2nd Battalion often plays second fiddle and reserve to the 1st Battalion although the new commander is trying his hardest to learn from his elders.

_{C U L T U R E}

With a clear base in Chinese culture, the Tiantan are interesting as they are comprised of three "factions" with each hailing from a different person and modeled after a certain faction within China during the Chinese Civil War. There's the "Communists" who were originally from Hayden's older brother and are amongst the most experienced, the "Warlords" who were once that of Hayden's older sister and show clear evidence of heavy custom ornaments made by hand, and the "Nationalists" that are Hayden's own personal soldier that are the most numerous.

Tiantan are known to be highly resourceful and inventive, often reusing old bits of junk to their advantage such as reusing old cutlery and bowls as part of defenses and using what some consider to be inferior and crude "last ditch" weapons from the tail end of WW2. However, all of these practices stems from the fact that for much of their history, the Tiantan didn't have much as their owner Hayden couldn't afford much and thus encouraged and instilled them a culture of innovating and reusing old junk; the use of VG weapons is mostly due to the fact how easy it is for the MockZ to repair and maintain them on their own. Perhaps the most notable and long lasting example of this cultural practice is the Zhen Jian, or "Needle Sword" which was the first weapons that Hayden gave his MockZ to defend from the bugs that plagued their early history.

In regards to Hayden, the MockZ of Tiantan do see him as a god as any other but have more of a "polytheistic" approach, seeing him as part of the greater Zheng Dynasty of Gods. Such has made Hayden an effective "King of Gods" in their eyes and while they (the MockZ) may have different creators, they all owe allegiance to the Zheng Dynasty and its head, Great Lord Hayden.

_{M A P L O C A T I O N S}

Claims

A - Main base and homelands of the Tiantan, the Zheng's backyard. Its a comparatively ancient nation, being without a doubt one of the oldest civilization in the area. Its dotted with shrines, villages, markets, industrial workshops and cultural buildings as a sign to its heritage, some even built by Hayden and his siblings. However, it does still see some military build up from the hardened clay walls of old that defended the people from outdoor predators to more modern trenches that run across the front as well as a network of tunnel that even stretches into the territory as an underground network, clearly something learned from ant invasions.

B - Training grounds of the Army and where the barracks are located, these are host to the firing ranges and martial arts dojos that train Tiantan MockZ in the arts of war. In addition, various administrative buildings are located here as is a stockpile with some supplies and repair workshops; the other half are kept by the Motor Pool and Forward HQ to prevent the entirety of Tiantan's military supply stockpile and administration from being taken out in one strike. Although it boasts more modern defenses, there is still a great deal of culture surrounding the area such as the memorialized now-empty ant hill which remembers those who were lost in the Tunneler Campaigns against an invading ant swarm some time ago.

C - Motor Pool and Forward HQ of the Army that is linked to the Training Grounds by a transport system that runs into the Zheng's home of tubes and specialized walk ways and even a creative cart system made by one of Hayden's younger siblings using a battery powered model train, perfect for rail transport. This is also where the Army typically deploys from and houses some of the administrative "offices" (read: several reinforced shoeboxes, milk jugs and a painted doll house with additional fixtures).

D & E - Outposts Gou and Jiu respectively, they're watch stations for the Tiantan, giving them all good lines of sight and vision over the in coming roads and come equipped with both radio/scanning equipment and traditional bonfire signals. They are crewed only by infantry but have tunnels that run right under the road which link up to the Motor Pool and HQ.

Character

Name: James Herner

Age: 73

Sex: Male

Bank: 500$

A tiny bit of history: James was born in 1988, he lived his entire life as an electrician and was married once. But she divorced but they kept somewhat good relations.
He bought his yard back in the 2030's when the area was being built (therefore getting a rather large yard).
He now lives on his pension and some cleverly placed funds and shares.

Personality: He is basically the friendly old grandpa kinda person and have always had a great hobby of modelling.
He was delighted when the MockZ came out and saw them as a new modelling project, he bought a starter pack combined with some special edition models, some of which is out of print (He also picked up a monstrous amount of regular plastic kits which were being decomissioned with the new MockZ release. These can of course not be used for combat, but look very nice.)

In his backyard he has always had a 1:MockZ scale section of a section of the Somme trenches, which he has at times used to hold a large scale WW1 battle, which he streamed on Youtube which helped him fund his future purchases.
In the end, the Germans won that game and the WW2 mockz got all hyped up. James made sure he had an up to date army to show the kids on how a properly modelled army should look.

He has been known to bring his special edition Bismarck/Tirpitz battleship into the community pool where he had it blow up some milk and shampoo bottles to the kids great delight.
Probably encouraging at least someone to get their own first MockZ battle set.

Army

Faction Name: Herner's finest.

General Appearance of MockZ: Being more into the equipment than the particular MockZ themselves, James haven't really bothered much with how the troops look and just used the standard "WW2 german face prefix" which randomizes the faces realistically.
The troops are modelled after WW2 SS division "Das Reich", the tanks usually have the proper historical markings apart from the few places where the nation flag would be, there he uses his own marking instead.

For regular troops however, James have a massive amount of old Gasmasks and uniforms from his WW1 sets, which the MockZ have initially stolen, but later got permission to take from. Mostly since James realized most of his MockZ had already gotten hold of the tiny wool coats anyway.

Bodily, the MockZ of the Herner's finest tend to be very large and physically fit, almost comically so. Something he has forgot to take away after the fans constant requests to make their faction stronger in his WW1 time.

Combat Style: Herner's finest vary somewhat in how they fight. Some of the troops in the infantry are from James WW1 times, so are the commanders. Fearlessly advancing in formation, some are more clever and approach in cover. The main defining factor is fearlessness, since they remember that they were utterly slaughtered every time they retreated during the WW1 battles.

The tanks and the Bismarck however are just as fearless but have retained a constant training regime to be the best tank section in MockZ history. James have taken them to large expo's where MockZ tank tactic enthusiasts have held presentations. And also trained a lot and been given training films and the like from James.
The result of this is very skilled tank drivers, and James Herner have won a state championship with them and gotten second place twice. Sure the championship didn't involve any combat, but rather a target course, but it was challenging none the less.

While not as skilled as the tankers, the pilots have also gotten many instructional films and a lot of training. Meaning they are also very skilled.

Military Organization: The military organization isn't very complex in the Herner's finest. There is.
Supreme Kommandant. Leader of the army, takes orders only from James.
General. Leader of a section, the sections are tanks, troops, aircraft, support.
Captain of the Bismarck.
Commander. Commands 100 MockZ.
Sergeant. Commands 10 MockZ.

Important Mockz: Captain Lindemann.
Captain Lindemann is named after the ships actual historical commander. However since he's been in James service for such a long time, he and his crew lack the problems the historical Bismarck had.

Supreme Kommendant Herner.
Modelled after himself, Kommendant Herner is a competent leader, whom led his german forces to victory during his WW1 period of modelling. Herner has since those days gotten to watch several films on how best to command in WW2.

Flight General Forceps.
Named by and modelled after his grandson, General forceps can at times be a bit unthinking, throwing himself into combat.
He looks rather odd with a strong masculine body but with a nine year old's head with a mustache.

Culture: The Herner's finest have been profoundly affected by the WW1 combats of old. A MockZ is worth nothing without a tank, that combined with James view on them more as toys than people have made them accept that they are nothing unless they prove their worth and make a name for himself.
Some of them don't even care about naming themselves, calling themselves by their serial number or a squad number.
Those few that have gotten a name for themselves have been given higher ranks and privilieges, and thus the Herner's finest fight furiously to prove that they are worthy of note.

This mentality is different in the tank section, there every single commander and even crewman is named. Every tank a pet project by James and thus works of love.
They are set apart, given extra nice houses. This has either the effect of being things to strive for by the infantry, or MockZ of contempt and jealousy by some.

Notes

James has a large amount of sporadic WW1 things on his yard and in his storages. While the trenches on his backyard are outdated by ww2 standards, there are a few crappy machine guns there which some MockZ might use in an emergency. Otherwise they deem that equipment as too old or too symbolical.
James also don't give his troops ww1 things, apart from gas masks and coats. Since that is not historically accurate.
He has also sold a bunch of the old ww1 things, to fund the ww2.
He also has a nice camera and a few cheap ones which he at times place out in his forces. So he can edit it later and put it up on youtube. But that is already counted into the 500 he earns every month.
