@aurebesh, provisionally approved, but I'd like it if you correct some spelling and grammar errors on your character sheet.

Appearance:

Height & Weight: 6'0", 168 lbs

Name: Kaden "Kay" Ashford

Age: 18

Nationality: American

Noble Arm Name & Appearance:
Duality Blades, two Katanas that shift in color depending on their form: a soft blue for light and a deep crimson red for dark. They are connected by a spectral purple chain.

Noble Arm Ranking: B


Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Melee, Light & Dark, close-to-mid range

Noble Arm Abilities:
The Duality Blades can change between three forms: Light, Dark, and Neutral/Equilibrium.
LIGHT:
Kaden's speed and power are enhanced, allowing him to attack quickly. The purple chain shatters and changes color to vibrant blue. The chain passes through Kaden but is solid to anyone else. He also can send minor beams of light out of the swords. They are weak and go about a 25m, but he can rapid fire them. They knock the target back a bit.
DARK:
Kaden's power and range increase, as a darker aura can extend the swords to an unnatural length. When he enters this, the chain shatters and is replaced by a light red chain. This chain acts like the blue chain. He can slam the swords onto the ground to make a shockwave that does moderate damage and goes in around a 75m radius. This needs to recharge for a bit, and makes his arms tired. He picks the targets of the blast. (This means he can only pick people he is aware exist/are fighting. THIS IS IMPORTANT!)
NEUTRAL:
Kaden has both active, one on each sword. his stats stay the same, but he gains the light beams and a weaker version of the shockwave. The chain stays purple and acts like the other chains. One neutral attack, or ten seconds in neutral, is required when switching between light and dark. The chain stays purple in this form, passing through Kaden. He also gains a new attack, but I'm going to make a dropdown for it.



Misc Abilities: Ambidextrous, pretty good strategist, knows MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), and is a great dancer (trained his footwork by dancing).
He speaks 3 different dialects of Arabic. (Levantine, Egyptian, and Modern Standard Arabic/MSA)

Personality: Kaden is kind, funny, and protective of people he cares about and works with often (or hopes to work with often). He can also be very over confident. He doesn't always seem all there, and is often caught daydreaming in his free time. His true desire is to upkeep his reputation, and this drives him to do otherwise stupid things.

*Likes: Comedy movies, video games, fighting, and competition.

*Dislikes: Being underestimated, losing, spiders (he's not scared, he just doesn't like 'em.)

Fears: Failing to protect his family, friends, and most of all, his ego.

Bio: Kaden was born in Arizona and stayed there most of his life. He came from a family of war refugees from syria and immersed himself in their culture. He loves his family, which consists of his parents, an older sister and a ten year old brother. His family and friends call him Kay or Kane.

Kaden can't remember a time when he did not have a sword of any type with him. He carried a wooden around for practice whenever he could, kept a different wooden one in his backpack, and practiced with a real katana at home. he devoted his life to swordsmanship, and hoped that he could become a master swordsman. When he got the Duality Blades, or Zole as he likes to call them, it hit home for him.

One incident changed the way he viewed the Duality Blades. His friend challenged him to run across an "empty" 8-lane highway in the desert. Almost to the end, he hears a horn. he stops and looks where it's coming from. by the time he turns, it was too late. He held out his hands, instinctively holding the blades like he always does when in danger. When the blades made contact with the truck, they bumped into each other, and this unleashed a blast of purple energy. Kaden was hospitalized in critical condition, and managed to survive without any scars. his friend and the trucker were not so lucky. The trucker died instantaneously, and his friend lost his left leg. He never seemed all there after that point.

*Current Goal: Survive, find somebody to love, and prove he isn't weak.

Military or Civilian Rank: Second Lieutenant

@LimeTime966, it's fine for you not to use Discord for now.

Also, a few things:

Noble Arms are not transformed from mundane items; they appear in a flash of light in one's hand as manifestations of the soul.

Also, a Noble Arm must be a single weapon, or if you really must have two weapons, they must be connected to each other by a chain, rope, or string.

Other than that, you have Approval One from me; once you get Approval Two from any of my Co-GMs, you're good to go once you edit your profile to include my requested connections...

Noble Arms Plot Summaries

Mission One Summary: Defend Lingayen Gulf



The picture is that of Lingayen Beach, where the PCs will have their first IC action. They will not be given time to prepare or talk much outside of flashbacks (yes, I know, heresy), but rather will be placed on the beach from the get-go. Their mission would be to defend against two waves of Chinese attacks; the first made up of conventional forces and the second made up of Arms Masters (never outnumbering the OCs). To win this, and make no mistake, you *can* win, you are going to have to play things smart and conserve your energy in the first wave to have enough for the second wave.

You will not be alone; you have 2000 Philippine Marines and 20,000 Philippine Army Infantry helping you guys, supported by South Korean K136 Rocket Artillery, ATMO S2000 self-propelled howitzers, and Elbit Sabrah Tracked tanks. There are also Helicopters.

More Data Here:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equipme…

Intermission One: The First Arms Master (Set on September 30 2022).

The OCs, including Lotus Squadron, Kaitlyn, and any Non-Arms Masters, are grouped into a Special Task Force, with Noel (my OC and the only eligible one for command) as its nominal head. As Lingayen City rebuilds, they are to spend the next two weeks helping rebuild the city, hunting down Chinese stragglers and infiltrators, and eventually, resting and relaxing. At the start of said two weeks, however, some of them would receive news from Great Britain: The origin of all Noble Arms has been revealed to the world, and it is from an unexpected source - A man thought dead for 68 years, Alan Turing, a man has who now revealed himself to be *The First Arms Master*, the reason for Noble Arms' existence, and who despite his 'posthumous' pardon back in 2013, is *not* coming back to Great Britain just yet until Humanity as a whole has cleaned up their acts...

You guys can react to the news however you want, and rest and relax after that.

Mission Two Summary: The Siege of Mischief Reef (Revised)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischief_Reef

Mischief Reef/Đá Vành Khăn/Panganiban Reef, an island closer to the Philippines than to China yet occupied and enlarged by the latter, has been seized by a third faction, a group of defectors from China calling themselves the 'Qing Restoration Society'. Led by their New Emperor, a young boy who nevertheless has an A-Rank Noble Arm that can control water, the QRS have driven out the Chinese and devestated the nearby People's Liberation Navy groups in the Spratlys, allowing ASEAN an opening. Your mission, Arms Masters, is to relieve and resupply Mischief Reef before the Chinese counterattack ends the prospect of a new Qing Dynasty; a flotilla of Filipino and Indoensian Ships will try and run the Chinese Blockade with the Arms Masters of Task Force Obsidian in tow.

However, even after landing, all will not be well, as the Chinese will be sending a special strike force: Their own 'Foriegn Volunteer Brigade', composed of former terrorists who hate the current world order more than they hate each other! Led by Mei Yuanuyan, an Anti-Arms Master terrorist who had grown her own Noble Arm, these Volunteers also have their own cunning, bloody-minded ferocity, and above all, a willingness to bring down the pain...

The ASEAN flotilla is composed of 2 Jose Rizal-class frigates, 1 Pohang-class Corvette, and 2 Del Pilar-class patrol vessels from the Philippines, 2 Nagpasa-class submarines, 2 Martadinata-class frigates, 3 Bung Tomo-class corvettes, and 4 Clurit-class Missile Boats from Indonesia, as well as 2 Auxiliary ships filled with supplies. Lotus Squadron will also be flying from Antonio Bautista Air Base in Palawan Island to support all of you by clearing the skies for your transport plane.

Intermission Two: Ghosts of Angeles City

After a victorious second mission, Task Force: Obsidian has been redeployed from Lingayen to rest and recuperate in Angeles City, where a luxury hotel has been set aside for their use, and their stay is fully paid. Relatively untouched by the Chinese bombardment and air war, Angeles City is filling up with refugees, many of who are being victimized by various fraudsters and criminals, while at the same time, there is a rumor going around that the American-Asian mixed-race community in the city, descended from American military personnel back when the Americans owned the historical Clark Air Base, are to blame for the Chinese Invasion. However, the remaining malls, casinos, and luxury businesses do care not for that, and so the party faces a choice: Involve themselves, or enjoy a chance at the high life?

Mission Three: Assault on Jinghong Dam

Before the ASEAN War, the Chinese built a dam to control the flow of the Mekong River and generate power for its people, as well as to exert a means of influence over the neighboring countries downstream, the ASEAN members Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and the furthest south of Vietnam. Now that the conflict has started, China has slowed down the flow of water to a trickle, raising fears of drought while increasing their supply of electricity for their war effort. Even worse, the Chinese have placed PoW camps in the floodplains below the dam to deter airstrikes. Your goals, Arms Masters and Ordinary Folk are to evacuate the PoWs and then destroy the dam...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinghong_Dam

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mekong



Mission Four: Knives in Phnom Penh (Current Mission)

Recent stories of war crimes and crimes against humanity (such as those found at Jinghong Dam) have soured relations between NATO and the PRC from averse to outright economic sanctions. Cut off from food imports and certain raw resources, Chinese embassies have reached out to each member of ASEAN to establish rules of engagement between the combatants. Only half of ASEAN members have returned the PRC's calls: Laos, Cambodia, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, and Burma. Malaysia reports an impasse; the rest have (until now) kept discussions private.

During these three weeks, King Norodom Socheata of Cambodia passed away under suspicious circumstances. The United States has shared intel that unknown members of the Downward Descent were in Phnom Penh during this time, though no linkage to the king's death can be found. In reaction, the Kingdom of Cambodia has officially closed its borders until the death can be confirmed of natural causes.

The newly elected king, His Majesty Sisowath Samnang, has reopened borders and announced that the suspect, one Keo Chantrea, has been caught and executed. He further reports breakthroughs regarding Chinese negotiations, as confirmed by Laos. The Kingdom subsequently invites the PRC, along with its own ASEAN allies, to a parley in Phnom Penh. The Downward Descent has not departed Cambodia to our knowledge, so, in addition to amplifying personal protection, the Philippines has requested the presence of the Philippine Navy's Arms Masters to safeguard the talks.

Update: The Cambodian Government decided to betray ASEAN, defect to China, and have the Royal Cambodian Army attack the Peace Conference they called, but several of their people decided this was a bad idea and stayed loyal to ASEAN or turned neutral. Now Phnom Penh is at war, with the Cambodian Government bringing in Russian and Venezuelan mercenaries and Iranian Shaeeed Drones to bomb its own people who stayed loyal to ASEAN or had second thoughts.

@LimeTime966

as Bee said, Noble Arms are a singular weapon, then you can have them make copies or divide in more.
I suggest having them be connected (either a chain or it being a dual blade) and then separating at will by the user.

on stats they're goo enough, but I'll give you more exact stats that you can put in:
Noble Arms ranking: B
Power: C (Dark: B ; Special Attack: A)
Speed: C (Light: A)
Range: C (Dark: B , Special Attack: B)
Persistence: C (Dark: B)
Precision: D
Potential: D

some important changes for you to keep in mind:
Speed means reactive speed, so we're gonna assume in Light mode Duality Blades react as soon as Kaden thinks of using them, otherwise the attacks lag a bit behind.
Precision is how much Kaden can decide who gets affected by his powers, since his shockwaves are indiscriminate he only gets D, still he can be very accurate with the shooting and stabbing.

The abilities seem good to me. Once the changes are done you have my approval.

Summary of 'Team Newbie's' Objectives:

The objectives are flexible, but the rough plan was for Reaper to help Lotus Squaudron in bombing the Royal Gendarmerie HQ to dust, while Dior, Kaden, and Len are para-dropped over the National Assembly building to capture the Cambodian Prime Minister and his cronies in Parliament and end the Anti-ASEAN rebellion/betrayal. Yes, this means that Dior, Kaden, and Len are dropped out of a plane, along with Dior's elite assassins, and expected to perform a metaphorical decapitation strike.

After that, it depends on what the PCs in the Convention Center decide to do; if they want to go out to help you, they can. If they want to go to the Embassies, they can. But I will try and make it so that they can meet with you guys if needed.

Summary of Enemy Actions and Capabilities:

The enemy are basically the Cambodian Special Forces Command, the best of the best of the Cambodian Regular Troops. They are setting up a killzone around the National Assembly Building in anticipation of such a move. By that, they are preparing to shoot down the planes coming at them, shoot down anyone para-dropping towards them. They should anyone survive dropping down to the ground, concentrate as much firepower as they can at them in order to overwhelm their Arms Master Survivability and kill them.

Even then, Dior and Len's capabilities can disrupt such a strategy and give you guys a fighting chance. Also, there are 4 fairly weak (C-rank) Arms Masters around the Cambodian Prime Minister, but they have been tasked with staying inside the building to prevent Dior from copying some of their powers.

@LimeTime966, for when you come back, Lime, here are Kaden and the other Newbies' objectives.
