[OOC] Guardians: Against the Twilight

[taistelusopuli]

Could you describe the uniform a bit? It affects how Leo has his gear set up =]

[Jinxer]

Yeah I meant to go into more detail in the IC but I also didn't want to make it too long/boring to read.

The Guardian uniform is bright white, both symbolic and practical due to its contrast with the sheer blackness of the Twilight Beasts against whom camouflage is useless as they seem to sense the presence of living creatures rather than see them. A plain white vest or shirt with a white jacket, usually polyester although a few Guardians have apparently obtained leather and cotton ones, cover the torso. The jacket is double breasted and has an inside pocket on the left side but is otherwise plain in design for all except members of the First Division who differ in having a shield emblem emblazoned on the back of their jacket.

White polyester trousers, in keeping with the bright colour scheme, are to be tucked into leather boots which come up to just below the knee in length due to their broad purpose of both combat by foot and mount. Due the massive variance in weaponry the Guardian uniform has no assigned attachments in coordination with the clothing, by and large the soldiers are expected to organise the transport of their weapons in the field themselves (standard issue tubes for bows, arrows, bolts and cases for bow and crossbow strings are provided as are basic scabbards for any standard issue blades).

The First Division will come into later, by the way. They're a little... special.

YAY so excited!

[taistelusopuli]

Sorry to dwell on this little more.. I have one more question on the uniform and that should then suffice for now. The design? Are we talking of contemporary military design, more civilian/casual or something else?

[Jinxer]

The image I have is more of the ceremonial military uniform design than the actual military uniform (so I suppose you could say it is more military in design than civilian).

[taistelusopuli]

Awlrighty and I know I said one more Q but... I assume the same uniform is used in combat operations?

[Jinxer]

Yes. The only 'ceremonial' addition is a white cap in a similar fashion to the naval ceremonial uniform.

[Jinxer]

The IC is up for others to post.

[Flamelord]

Well, hope that was acceptable. Sorry if Notre Dame was supposed to be still standing as an artillery lookout or something. Made sense in my mind that with all the Beasts coming from religious buildings they would destroy the Cathedral just in case.

[Jinxer]

Yeah, Notre Dame would be a razed building by this point although we're in Calais and it (was) in Paris (but nevermind, I'm definitely not going to be a massive stickler for these kind of details!)

[Flamelord]

Different Notre Dame

[Jinxer]

I bow to your superior knowledge of Calais' landmarks!

[Flamelord]

Nah, you should bow to my knowledge of wiki-fu :P

[Jinxer]

While we wait to see if the others who indicated interest actually show up I'll get a post up.
