Let me properly introduce myself. I am Sir Spud the Fourth, and I have been a potato for the longest time ever. I never denied it to be completely honest, but it is only recently that I embraced it. Now I have evolved from a simple couch potato to a fully grown royal potato. A dapper kawaii potato. And I dare say, knowing that you are a spud, makes life a lot easier. Just chill and let everyone else care about all their meaningless things because at the end of the day you'll know: chilling is the way to go.
I try to spend minimal effort on things that I don't care about, and procrastination might as well be my middle name. But that doesn't mean I ONLY rest. Sometimes a 'tato gotta do what a 'tato gotta do. And if that something happens to be things I like, then you cannot find anyone better than me. I am an omnipotent being capable of virtually any task to a limited degree, and I am not shy to admit it. I may not be the MOST AWESOMEST in a thing, but I am sure as hell MORE AWESOMEST than most people are at everything. But hey, I'm not here to brag, even if I am probabaly better at it than you
THE DREAMER:
All those nights laying in my couch, I thought about the cool shit that I cannot do. That I cannot see. But I pictured them in front of myself like they were real, and that infuraited me. Then I found the Guild, and I lived happily after. I have been on the site for 2 years now, and I have seen many RPs, and played with many people. I wish I have found the site earlier, but I am glad that I've even found it. Now all those fantasies can be written down and my mind can rest at ease at night, without being constantly troubled by ideas.
When I RP, I love myself some good Sci-Fi or Fantasy. But hey I am filthy casual, I can go for anything with an interesting setting. I don't trouble myself on small details if the plot is good, but if you get somwthing wrong you can expect me to tell you about it. Some even go as far as to think that I am angry or something, but I am too chill for that. If anything I'm more of the funny type, so you can expect me to try and write some shitty jokes or post memes I found on the internet. Anyways, you'll see what I mean when we RP together.
THE ARTIST:
Used to be something else here, but I'm happy to say that it's replaced because of a positive change. I now work as a full-time 3D artist in the animation industry, churning out shot after shot for some of your favorite game intros and trailers. Can't say anything about them before you even ask, and even though I'm still new to the industry I love it and I already know that this will be my passion for a long time. So hopefully in a few years I'll have a proud portfolio of animations that were done by yours truly that I can show off to all the lovely people of the guild.
THE LOVER OF STUFF:
Now I may have hobbies like the above mentioned, but there are some more things that I love in life. Here is a handy list of things you can always talk about with me:
Gaming: This one I am quite proud of, I'm a serious gamer with capital G. Not as much time for it nowadays, but still true.
Music: All kinds of electronic music, but I am a sucker for Queen and Powerwolf. Or Breakbot... anything music.
Anime: We all have an Otaku in us, but it's bigger for some people. For me it's just big enough.
WORDS OF WISDOM:
Be chill folks, getting fed up about stuff is a recipe for disaster. You gotta learn to be patient and let things go, or you'll end up a wrinkly old man/woman with only bad memories about life. Even if you do fuck-all every day, you can live a content life by taking things easy. With that said, as always, stay safe and stay classy.
@6slyboy6 You know what! Yes! I am using yours! Since it would be more fun for my guy to go: But she is so cute. Look at her spines! Aren't they cute! Also it would more fun if they are not blood thirsty monsters but semi intelligent for a f****** spider.
I am sensing "internal oppression" coming from your voice.
Are you sure you don't want to tell us what is REALLY bothering you?
@Avanhelsing You would do me a big one if you go with the one I posted XD
But honestly, go with whichever you want. I've had my share of fun torturing the very idea of a spider pet. And I've run out of good meme ideas for them (not really, I have more memes than time left of my life).
As a reward for your pateience, here is my favourite unit from Total War: Warhammer
@6slyboy6 I am sensing a dislike towards the spider. I chose the one I did since it looks less evil. Though I do like your picture of the bug. She will not kill anything unless my guy orders it.
Me and spiders are like best buds. I use strictly spider mechs, have spider robots and use spider aliens extensively.
However I also don't want my bug-like fairy character to be eaten by a spider who mistakes her for dinner.
Edit: Thought it would be a highly comical scene for sure.
SPECIES: Pixique and Iljonor (Artifical Intelligence) respectively
AGE: Early-Adulthood (Biologically), Around 21 in human years and 2.6 years respectively
GENDER: Female and Synthetic (refer as he) respectively
HEIGHT: 5.2" and 6'9" respectively
WEIGHT: ~462 Gramms* and ~541 kilograms** (~1820 pounds) respectively
PERSONALITY:
Pisq: Like all the other members of the Pixique race, Pisq is childish, self-centered, hyperactive, quite playful and every bit devious. She is a very social person and enjoys conversing with others, even thought her manners are rather lax. She can quickly decide whether someone is her friend or if someone is better to stay away from, and she is hesitant to change her mind once she made the decision. She is not really concerned whether the other person shares the same feelings towards her, but people usually like Pisq for her childish and fun nature. This of course doesn't stop her from being a smartass, and even thought she isn't quite as intelligent as some other Pixique, she is still capable of more than even a smart human. Now, much like the other Pixique this also means that they can be very forgetful and airheaded sometimes: a side-effect of being so goddamn smart. And that lost mental power is diverted straight into her extrovert and adventrous nature: the same thing that made her decide to join the GAHL. Usually calm, relative to the nature of her species, she can be quite agressive for a creature of such small sizes. This often provokes the jokes which ask: "How can someone as small as you be so furious?".
ELEK7RO: A synthetic network can only be capable of so much. That's what you think, right? Well, the Pixique straight up refuse this, and the existence of the Iljonor is a proof of that. The Iljonor were created by the Pixique, and they all have vastly different personalities: much like humans. ELEK7RO was created by Pisq when she was 19 years old. He was tailored in a way to offset the occasional airheadedness of Pisq, and to aid in her social interactions. His personality is best described as modest, very gentle, polite and observative. Thought Pisq tried to model him after a gentleman, there must have been a glitch in the process somewhere as ELEK7RO is not hesitant to swear or crack inapropriate jokes. But this is a small price for having a companion that is so loyal. Some Iljonor refuse to help the Pixisque, but not him. ELEK7RO is very helpful towards everyone, and sometimes leaves Pisq behind to help a stranger: much to her dismay.
HISTORY OF THE PIXISQUE RACE AND THE ILJONOR:
A long time ago, in a solar system far, far away, a race of hyperactive and childish geniouses was born: the Pixique. Their homeworld featured an unordinarily tiny sized fauna, and the Pixiuqe are actually considered normal sized on their own planet. Their naturally high intelligence quickly advanced them through the technological eras and they soon conquered their own continent on the planet. With their relatively small size compared to the flora of the world, building was hard, and most of them adapted to a sedentary life. This loneliness only further reinforced their creativity, and they invented new devices daily. Of course these new inventions were soon forgotten, only to be rediscvored a few months later by other Pixique: a recurring theme in their history. Thought sedentary, most Pixique craved for social interactions: people to share their thoughts with.
From this desire new life was born: the Iljonor. First an AI for a forgetful tinkerer, and later a fully sentient creature with a body made of steel. Their names long forgotten to the fleeting minds of the Pixique, this inventor and his metallic reflection continued to work together on advancing AI technology and soon bonded in a friendship for life. By the time the inventor died, his creation was a fully fledged sentient being, with emotions that rivaled that of biological creatures. It travelled the cities and shared the research he contained with other Pixique. This inspired a new golden age in the population: everybody wanted an AI buddy and research assistant. In a matter of months years of progress was recreated, and the technology of AIs became widely avaible even before their equalient of the internet was born. All of these creations were different, and they had vastly different personalities, but in essence had the same core as the first Iljonor.
It didn't take long before they announced themselves as a race of their own, and the Pixique didn't hesitate to welcome them as bretheren. The two species lived in a symbiotic relationship, where the Pixique provided the mind and the Iljonor provided the muscle. The internet soon came to be: the new Iljonor assistants greatly contributed to the advancement of technology. With endless possibilites provided by advanced communications, the civilization of the Pixique and the Iljonor co-evolved for many decades, and became a technocratic state that covered almost their entire planet. With technological marvels created every day, and devices being created for people as small as they are, engineering became one of the strong suits of their technology. The Pixique viewed the Iljonor as equals and helpful creations, whilst the Iljonor admired the nature of the Pixique and sworned to protect their creators with their superior physique.
Tradition has it that when a Pixique reaches adulthood, a new Iljonor is created: one that is raised and nurtured solely by his or her Pixique parent. Companies were created for the sole purpose of selling frames for the Iljonor, but their minds must be entirely reliant on the Pixique who create them. This tradition is a form of bonding between the two races: the two become like childhood friends over a short period of time. This is then usually reversed as the Pixique children are often nurtured by the Iljonor when their parent's are hard at work.
That was until the two races finally achieved space travel: 3 pairs of Pixique and Iljonor ventured into space and orbited the planet Pixis for 320 minutes before landing again. Research was now focused on the new frontier, and space technology advanced rapidly. In 4 deacdes the first interstellar ship was launched to find signs of intelligent life: both races were sure that they weren't the only ones. And they were right. Sadly the new discovery didn't go as planned, and they had to realise that they weren't as advanced as they toguht. They quickly realised that their stature was way too small compared to most races of the galaxy: it is hard to make first contact when you are slightly bigger than a small bird.
It is a mystery who was the one who first proposed the creation of EXOs: average sized suits, massive compared to the Pixique's size, that would house the minds of the Iljonor, and give them the capability to have discussions with the other races of the galaxy. Probably due to the influence of the humans, a similarly new species to space travel, these suits take up a very basic humanoid form, and house all the mechanisms needed to integrate the Iljonor minds. They also feature a cockpit from which the suit is controlled by a Pixique, which is located in the head segment of the suit. The more spacious EXOs even have accomodations inside them where the Pixique can relax without the need to leave the suit at all: this is only possible due to the effectivenes off micro-engineering upscaled, and the effiency that this provides. The control of the EXOs is shared between the Pixique and the Iljonor, which is yet another from of bonding between the races, if their lifetime together isn't enough already.
Since the first EXO, many suits have been created, but some of the newer models take a whole different approach: learning from the humans the defintion of "warfare", a talent which all humans posess, the Pixique developed new EXOs that have built in weapons systems which are mostly used for hunting, but some are even hired by security corporations as guards in space stations. With this new hobby amongst the population, especially the teens, many young Pixique and Iljonor decide to live a life outside of their planet, and join the interstellar community to profit from their intelligence or to seek out adventure.
WEAPONS/SUPPLIES:***
R-201 Carbine Mk.I E: A fully automatic carbine weapon designed by humans. It was incorporated by a lot of Pixique to use with their EXOs, as it is pretty cheap, and really accurate at close to medium ranges. With a high firerate and large clip, one can easely undesrtand why this weapon is favored by so many hunters. Against unprotected targets this weapon is devastating, but it quickly loses effectiveness against armored targets, unless the user is close up to the traget. The E version was specifically designed to combat biological beings: it can use a special bullet type that delivers a painful electroshock to the target at the cost of some penetrating power. This makes the weapon more versatile, and ideal at taunting or herding the prey. Against smaller animals the elecktroshock has the potential to knock the target out, but only if it hits near the nervous center. It is also a favorite amongst bounty hunters for the same reason it is popular with hunters.
(// I know that there is a Volt SMG which actually does this, but I wanted a bigger gun + I didn't find any good images of that weapon.)
Shockrope 9000: A trademark tool of Pisq, this device was designed specifically for ELEK7RO. It is essentially a grapling hook that fires a single sturdy cable which pierces the target's skin (hopefully) and then attaches the target from the inside. Servo motors inside the EXOs arm help pull the user close to the target, giving Pisq the ability to quickly close the distance between her prey. It will constantly numb the area of impact with electricity to stop most animals from realising they've been hit, right until the EXO is on top of them. It can also be used to manouver around like an ordinary grappling hook, but it wasn't designed to pierce anything stronger than wood, so it's uses are limited.
Shockslap 3000: Another special project of Pisq, ELEK7RO's EXO is equipped with shock gloves that deliver painful electric pulses to the enemy with each hit. If the guns prove too difficult to use, or they don't have the desired effect, these babies will surely do the job. Each hit of a normal EXO frame is devastating by itself, but with the added benefit of electric shocks, close quarters combat is sure to do the job against all, but the most resilient creatures. Of course this depends on the user actually achieving contact with the target: a difficult task in itself. Furthermore, the gloves allow for the user to attach to conducting surfaces, as the gloves generate a magnetic field. It should also be noted that this is an extremely funny way of pranking anybody who wants to do a handshake.
R-72 Pulse Thrusters: A pair of short distance Pulse thrusters mounted on the back of the EXO allow for Pisq and ELEK7RO to gain a short mobility boost in the form of a controlled dash. This can be used to cross gaps, reach high ledges, or to deliver a powerful punch to an enemy. However after a pulse has been used, the pack must recharge again before being used. This usually takes half a minute but can take up to whole 2 minutes if the suit power is drained by other things (like the grapling hook or the shock gloves). The pack only works in atmosphere and under water, and cannot be used in vacuum or low atmosphere enviroments.
Suit Internal Accomodations: Inside the EXO is the cockpit which provides all controls over the suit, and houses the Iljonor. However, ELEK7RO's frame has an extra room built into the uppermost part of the chest, which can be accesed by tiny individuals via a maintenance hatch that goes through the neck. It is small in size, and houses only a single retractable bed, a fridge and a storage drawer, as well as the storage unit containing the regular sized body of ELEK7RO, which serves as a backup location for any data and as a second body if something happens to the EXO in case it becomes unusable.
Misc: *I spent 20 mins doing the maths, but after dropping all the fancy stuff I just did the volume of a cube with the human body density, looked at charts, and trimmed the number according to the results. Not accurate, but good enough I guess.
**Steel is about 7.5 times denser than the human body, so after I did the rough math, this number was trimmed to represent the weight lost from non steel mechanical parts (like the plastic inner elements and technical parts made of silicon). Again, not right, but close enough.
***I do not own any of this material, and I hope you have no problem with the trademraks being there. A good design is just simply a good design, and it would be a shame to not use it.
@Avanhelsing I am warnng you before you make sure you go with spiders. If your "pet" eats Pisq, I'll make sure ELEK7RO tears it apart and rips it to teensy pieces.
I suggest you get something cute and more support orinted (and also less hazardous for the team) like this:
(I mean, this could be as big as a dog for all I know)
Or maybe something copyrighted but still cool:
And if you really want a f***** spider, then go with something less long-legged and more adorable like this:
Okay, now that I think about it, this isn't THAT adorable, but still looks less toxic, and potentially more conent with shredding things to teeny pieces. And more likely that those things will be not teammates.
Well I did before, indirectly. Although @6slyboy6 would probably have to post about it. Stealing an arms shipment should make life a little easier. As for the more help, I will need to confer with you and slyboy on how to make that work. Because the void raiders are a bunch of dicks and will demand you join the alliance before they intervene... exploitation at its finest.
Space jews. They are basically space jews, in space, doing jewish things.
Well said 2 AM brain, you deserve a cookie for that astonishing sentence.
Under the tight supervision of the ruler, Emperor Thorisan, the governement is set out to control the human and xeno population by any means. Order is of upmost imprtance, and the state controls most aspects of everyday life, excluding some large companies, which still have to directly report to the governement. The military has a large funding, as the power of the army is seen as a direct reflection of the state's power.
Main Race : Human
The most glorious race of all, the humans are relatively short lived, most of them living until around a 100 years old, but the oldest ones can reach 140 years with modern medicine. They have been in the Triangulum galaxy for 3 generations, and they make up the majority of all races in the galaxy. Humans account for a total of 51.3% of all population. A large factor in this is the massive genocide of other races carried out by the Empire. Humans are not particularly strong, however they can develop quite potent muscles with extensive training. Their willpower and adaptation is what makes them special, not willnig to give up until the last second, and always looknig for a way forward. They are zealous ideologists under the rule of their governement, and they are very hardly convinved by any other races about anything, looking down on the xenos. They...
<REDACTED>
Minority Races: <CLASSIFIED>
Demography: <SANITIZED>
Culture: The Proud Eagles of the Universe
The Humans consider themselves the true and only rulers of the galaxy, and furthermore the universe. Citizens belevie in the long and proud history of the EOM, and how they climbed from cave dwellers to the supreme power in the Triangulum. They've uplifted other races, and accepted some aliens from out of this world to live in their glorious empire. State propaganda is all but everyday news, a reminder to those who have any doubts about the Emperor. Most of the proud citizens are unshaken in their beliefs, and support the empire and it's agenda. Radicals are not rare, and small groups of xeno-hating humans often go out after dark to beat up the "native" population, and bribe the guards to let these issues pass. In fact most of the guards and patrolmen are the same, feeling more powerful than teh oppressed races, and knowing that they are protected by law. This belief of racial superiority is what drives teh cogs of the empire, uniting the many humans under a single banner.
In their culture, humans are rich, ands till remember the days when their race was divided into small nations ont ehir homeworld, however no-one quite remembers where this planet was. They have arts and classical music ating back thousands of years, and they gladly show it to any pesky xenos who doubt that the heirs of the Triangulum are the humans. Thought they don't talk about religion, and what their past holds with religion, but they are happy to switch their beliefs in gods and other mighty beings for a real legend, the Immortal God Emperor Thorisan. Ever since he came to power, he reformed the EOM in a positive fashion, bringing a new era of art and social standings with him. Nobility has never been so powerful since the renaissance, and the classical arts and music has spread like wildfire throught the Empire. The most prized paintings are those about the Emperor himself, and all of his undying glory. Some have gone as far to worship him, and take incredibly radical steps in his name, like the one time someone spray painted an entire cruiser to look like the Emperor.
History: Long Live the Humans
In the past 1000 years, humanity has controleld the Triangulum, and brought upon it an era of peace and prosperity. Countless alienr aces have been freed from their eathly bonds, and now server the Emperor for his gifts. No other Empire is as mighty as the EOM, and the only reason that the Mekhar exist is because of the grace of Emperor Thorisan. Ever since humans have conquered the stars, their technology ahs been rapidly advancing, raising the lifespan of normal humans, and curing most diseases. This led to a massive increase in birth rates, and nowadays we see this effect. However, 300 years ago the xenos rebelled against our glorious leader, at the time newly elected Emperor, and thought tehy could demolish the EOM. But they were proven wrong, and his grace, Immortal God Emperor Thorisan crushed their pity rebellion without mercy, and showed the infidels what they get if they disobey the glorious human race. Ever since then, the galaxy is in peace under the ruling of Thorisan and his Democratic Reign that is aimed at elevating the lifes of its citizens.
Important Characters: The Heads of the Eagle
Immortal God Emperor Thorisan
Thorisan is the ruler of humanity, the man that could achieve what many have failed to do before him. He untied humanity under a singular banner, and led them against the xenos. His totalitarian state has been reigning over humans for 300 years, and his military centered politics have shown the universe that he is not to be messed with. A brilliant tactical genius according to the few who know him, the Emperor needs no advisors in politics or military affairs. He is truly beleived to be a transcended human, being nearly 330 years old, and not only living, but leading an empire as if the last 300 years had no effect on him. He has an iron will, and the many hardships have not weakened him, his ideology still as strong as ever. He reigns over the EOM from the Soaring Throne, the massive orbital space station that houses the Emporium's main administrative bulk. In his impenetrable fortress sits a man made of steel, his sheer willpower puppeting an entire race to beleive what he wants.
Magnificus Chrisjen Helga
Helga is probably the youngest Magnificum in the entire history of mankind. A prodigy just like his father, Thorisan, she is an excellent strategist, and in some cases she is even better than her father. She was elected as Magnificum at the tender age of 22, and even tho many doubted her abilities at first and watched her in envy, her skills on the battlefield shut every mouth up. As the supreme commander of every fleet in the EOM, she likes to spectate battles awfully more than even some Grand Admirals. They say that she can memorize wast amounts of information from battles she saw, or if she can't make it then from the simulations. She is expected to quickly take over the greatest strategist title, stripping his father of that title. Her personality is very different from his fathers. She is not as cold and distant as his father, but she uses every single action to manipulate those around her.
Praefectus Patrich Miller
To the troops, Miller is the Emperor in all but title, and their devotion to him rivals that of the Thorisan. In his 27 years of military service the troops got to know the name of the General that gets things done. Not a single battle lost under his command, Miller fights on the frontline with his soldiers. As he would always say, "it seems so boring from behind the screens". He is excellent at timing, and even thought he is not very good at assuming, or even controllnig the enemy's movements, he knows his soldiers abilities, and he utilises them to win battles. He is in direct command of the proud and loud 1st Imperial Batallion, the most elite group of hardened fighters in the EOM. Under his command, the effectiveness of troops are maximized.
Fraudulentius Kodiak
More than what strikes the eye, the top spymaster of Thorisan is a man who gets his hands dirty daily. An excellent spymaster, Kodiak is a very skilled fighter, and he has his way with words if need be. His eyes are always open, and he can hide in the smallest crevices to get information. Secretive in all matters but those that interest the emperor. Probably the most discreet of all the Emperor's men, he always avoids the spotlight for reasons unknown. He has been spymaster for a good 15 years now, and many are wondering how any man can stay alive in such business for so long. However the Emperor knows the power that discreet and loyal followers posess, and even if there was a better candidate for the job, Kodiak would still serve Thorisan. It seems like he will not be removed from his position until he dies, one way or another.
Praetor Maximilian "Butcher" Brutus
Perhaps one of the most influental person in the Entire area of Sector 17, Praetor Maximilian Brutus has once almost managed to get inside the consul, but failed due to rash his attitude. He is one of the more infamous Praetors to have ever served the EOM, known by his harsh punishements, hit-and-run tactics that aim to cripple or demoralize the enemy, and by his grand master plans that no one can quite comprehend other than himself. Initially the Praetor of Sector 14, he has been moved to Sector 17 3 years ago, when the rebel activity started to surface. He now resides in the Iserlohn fortress and makes sure that Sector 17 won't become the origin point of a galaxy wide war.
Known only as Cleaver of the Praetor, Shiv's real name is unknown. She has been assisting the Praetor for longer than anyone, and has been following him like a shadown. Thought she isn't a prominent feature in the chain of command, as long as she is alive the Praetor will live to kill another alien. She is under direct control of the Praetor, but her actual employer remains a mistery. Thought nobody knows for sure, she may have taken a liking towards the Praetor and would not be removed from him even she was ordered to. It is yet to be seen what she is capable of to protect to Praetor, but she will not go down without a fight.
Captain Iunius, Praetor Tacitus and Praetor Hilarus
The three sibling from the grand house of Cornelio, one should not accept the fierce tactical prowess of Iunius, the oldest brother, who captains the most infamous and secretive ship in this side of the galaxy, the fearsome SPL Dreadnought logged in records as the "EMS Tarantula". Under his supervision many great victories have been achieved for the EOM in the Mekhar sectors. However his two hands in combat, his smaller twin brothers Tacitus and Hilarus aid him in leading the massive fleet. The three of them are better suited than any tactical AI, making them even less vulnerable to tech based attacks. They command the Mirage fleet which currently roams the uncharted sectors of the Triangulum to find and destroy the Mekhar's homeworld.
"VC" Jack Moore
A young, but ill fated member of the SDF whose best friend was murdered by xeno rebels some 8 years ago. Ever since then he has seen a rapid rise through the ranks of the Militia and the Military, eventually scoring a position in the SDF for his fierce loyalty and his excellent communication skills with xenos. He is cunning and smart, and his arsenal is composed of more than simple weapons. He has many contacts in high and low places, and his arms extend further than his rank might suggest. He is known to be a great pilot, and his friends know him as a good person at heart, aching for revenge. He is preparing his departure to Sector-17 with Grandmaster Alexius to supress the flames of revolution before they get out of hand. Under his supervision, the xenos will have a thought time making any significant advances.
Military:
-Personnel
Militia
The Militia is the broad term used for the paramilitary forces of the EOM. Thought it describes the security and police forces of the Empire as well, they are only relevant near the core world, as the armed forces keep the peace at fringe sectors populated with many xenos. By default, any adult human can enter the Militia. Thanks to this reason the Militia is the most popolous armed force under the command of the Emperor. In fact, recruiting offices aim to deter anyone from joining, as way too many people would like to join the Imperial warmachine to kill and torture xenos. Those who do decide to join the Militia get sent to a boot camp on the planet where they train for a duration of time, ranging from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the location. This is enough time to make them acquainted with their equipemnt and to give them basic military training. The bulk of the Militia is racist and/or xenophobic humans that have nothing better to do, and received little to no actual training in the bootcamps. However they are by far the most morally solid group in the EOM: their burning hatred for xenos make them the perfect first line against the unwilling races of the Empire. Their equipment is of outdated designs, and they are mostly equipped with weapons that were decomissioned one or two decades ago from the Military. This doesn't stop the Militia from becoming a horde of conscripts that are surprisingly effective against the (mostly) even less equipped xeno riots.
Mechanization wise, the Militia has little to no armored vehicles or spaceships. By Imperial law, ships permanently orbiting a planet for defensive reasons are not considered to be part of the planet's Militia, but rather a detachement of the Military. The Militia are not even given proper APCs: they will often rely on DIY armored cars crafted from whatever they can find. The only piece of expensive gear given to them are the Riot control suits. These are stored in lockers moderated by a central AI, that only unlocks these lockers when the suits are really needed, to prevent the Militia members from using them whenever.
Military
Thought joining the Militia usually means staying there for a lifetime, some soldiers do get promoted semi-annualy as they show qualities exceeding the absolute minimum required to be a part of the Militia. These recruits are taken to regional headquarters where they are ACTUALLY trained in modern warfare for 4 months, and then they are given weapons that are mostly up to date. However, the Military also recruits from Military schools which are spread across the galaxy to train soldiers for the Emperor from a young age. These two groups together make up the bulk of the Military, not counting the small amount of the people who got in thanks to other reasons. The Militia is generally twice if not thrice as well equipped and dozen times better trained than the Militia members. They constantly train in realistic simulations where they encounter many different foes and scenarions, and where they embed in their heads the shoot-to-kill mindset of the Military. The Military is only slightly smaller than the Militia, and their numbers still play a big role in their victories, though they rely much more on advanced tactics and their excellent training.
The Military uses most of the armored vehicles developed by the EOM, and they have access to most main line starships. Thought these designs are usually older than the personal equipment of troops, these vehicles are still developed from the experience of 300 years of warfare. The ground forces enjoy a wide variety of APCs, IFVs and heavy tanks/spider tanks as well as seeing limited use of infantry mechs. There is not one design that is prominent in their array of vehicles, so the equipment of different sectors may wary. However some vehicles like the Marauder class IFV, and the Tarantula spider tank have made quite the name for themselves. Along with these infnatry support vehicles, the Military has access to some CPL (Custom Production Line) vehicles. These include some famous feats of engineering, like the Gargantula Mobile Ion Destroyer. These vehicles see limited use in daily procedures, but are constantly kept ready in case they need to be used as deterrence or, god save their foes, as assets in a war.
The Military's spacefleet is numerous, containing hundreds of millions of standard issue ships, and thousands of CPL monstrocities that act as flagships. Thanks to a typo in the EOM logs a few hundred years ago, the ship class usually refrred to as a "Destroyer" now enjoys a position similar to cruisers, as they are their more offensive focused counterparts. The gaping hole left in small ship designs is filled out by the Brigs, the name of which come from an old ship design used during the era of pirates. Similarly, the battleships have a twin sister of ship class, called the Galleons. These are ships that have way more guns and more armor, but have no FTL capabilities, and must rely on other ships with inhibitors to travel long distances. The Military uses all of the ship classes, to great extent, thought Corvettes, Brigs and Frigates are the most prominent ship classes, with Cruisers and Destroyers following them closely.

[color=00aeef][b]THE MORE AWESOMEST POTATO:[/b][/color]
[color=LightSlateGray]Let me properly introduce myself. I am Sir Spud the Fourth, and I have been a potato for the longest time ever. I never denied it to be completely honest, but it is only recently that I embraced it. Now I have evolved from a simple couch potato to a fully grown royal potato. A dapper kawaii potato. And I dare say, knowing that you are a spud, makes life a lot easier. Just chill and let everyone else care about all their meaningless things because at the end of the day you'll know: chilling is the way to go.
I try to spend minimal effort on things that I don't care about, and procrastination might as well be my middle name. But that doesn't mean I ONLY rest. Sometimes a 'tato gotta do what a 'tato gotta do. And if that something happens to be things I like, then you cannot find anyone better than me. I am an omnipotent being capable of virtually any task to a limited degree, and I am not shy to admit it. I may not be the MOST AWESOMEST in a thing, but I am sure as hell MORE AWESOMEST than most people are at everything. But hey, I'm not here to brag, even if I am probabaly better at it than you[/color]
[color=00aeef][b]THE DREAMER:[/b][/color]
[color=LightSlateGray]All those nights laying in my couch, I thought about the cool shit that I cannot do. That I cannot see. But I pictured them in front of myself like they were real, and that infuraited me. Then I found the Guild, and I lived happily after. I have been on the site for 2 years now, and I have seen many RPs, and played with many people. I wish I have found the site earlier, but I am glad that I've even found it. Now all those fantasies can be written down and my mind can rest at ease at night, without being constantly troubled by ideas.
When I RP, I love myself some good Sci-Fi or Fantasy. But hey I am filthy casual, I can go for anything with an interesting setting. I don't trouble myself on small details if the plot is good, but if you get somwthing wrong you can expect me to tell you about it. Some even go as far as to think that I am angry or something, but I am too chill for that. If anything I'm more of the funny type, so you can expect me to try and write some shitty jokes or post memes I found on the internet. Anyways, you'll see what I mean when we RP together. [/color]
[color=00aeef][b]THE ARTIST:[/b][/color]
[color=LightSlateGray]Used to be something else here, but I'm happy to say that it's replaced because of a positive change. I now work as a full-time 3D artist in the animation industry, churning out shot after shot for some of your favorite game intros and trailers. Can't say anything about them before you even ask, and even though I'm still new to the industry I love it and I already know that this will be my passion for a long time. So hopefully in a few years I'll have a proud portfolio of animations that were done by yours truly that I can show off to all the lovely people of the guild.[/color]
[color=00aeef][b]THE LOVER OF STUFF:[/b][/color]
[color=LightSlateGray]Now I may have hobbies like the above mentioned, but there are some more things that I love in life. Here is a handy list of things you can always talk about with me:
[list]
[*] Gaming: This one I am quite proud of, I'm a serious gamer with capital G. Not as much time for it nowadays, but still true.
[*] Music: All kinds of electronic music, but I am a sucker for Queen and Powerwolf. Or Breakbot... anything music.
[*] Anime: We all have an Otaku in us, but it's bigger for some people. For me it's just big enough.
[/list]

[color=00aeef][b]WORDS OF WISDOM:[/b][/color]
[color=LightSlateGray]Be chill folks, getting fed up about stuff is a recipe for disaster. You gotta learn to be patient and let things go, or you'll end up a wrinkly old man/woman with only bad memories about life. Even if you do fuck-all every day, you can live a content life by taking things easy. With that said, as always, stay safe and stay classy.[/color]
