"So our school's also jumping into the bandwagon huh?""Yep... Olympian Star's senshado club has been dead for like twelve years but now the student council's decided to bring it back, costs be damned.""Yeah, ironic since I heard the reason it was closed down was because the club expenses was much higher than initially anticipated.""Not like they increased the club budget in any way this time... Ah! here we are the tank garages... Help me open this up..."*Please wait calmly as girls do their best to open rusted steel doors.."Oh... well I see why the club budget ain't gonna be much of a problem now... There ain't much tanks to maintain...""Uhh... Doesn't that mean we have to buy tanks which would be far and away more expensive?""Unfortunately yes, BUT I heard them Oorai girls found tanks laying about, worth a shot looking if some of the legacy of this school's senshado club remain somewhere...""That's uncharacteristically optimistic of you...""Because it's either that happens or we have to face off with other schools in them buckets of bolts..."Our girls will soon find themselves on a road riddled with potholes and obstacles of which some may even be too much for the treads of their tanks... What they can't solve through skill or prowess, they must go through with pluck and adaptability... Hard as this road maybe, it is the path they must traverse to make Olympian Star's senshado club great again... Or at least try to... It will be difficult to be more than a footnote in senshado with the wake of Oorai's unprecedented successes resulting in many other small schools starting up long forgotten senshado teams like Olympian Star or even schools where it's senshado is a first for em...

This will be a text based role-playing game set in the Girls und Panzer universe, but instead of following one of the major schoolships, we instead follow the struggles of one non-descript private venture schoolship's senshado club.
I have some set guidelines for characters...
- One... Most important of all, Bring a friend... Aka a player of this roleplaying-game is encouraged to enter at least two girls who know each other or at least get to know each other in the story proper...
This is so that it's far more practical to allow one player to control a tank for they have control over the crew of said tank, We can't have people's tanks stuck in limbo because the driver of their tank is a character controlled by a different player... - Two... We cannot have any girl who is in any way actually properly competent at senshado right of the bat, however they can be proficient in skills that they might apply to the sport... For instance someone who's previously done go-kart racing would be a decent driver... Also we're going to need a few people who's good enough with mechanics and engineering...
- Three... Keep our girls normal... This is just a normal schoolship after all, We can't have undercover child detective or anything of the sort...
- Four... Well this is technically about the tanks but they're as much a character as the girls are, it's Girls und Panzer after all... Well for tanks, we ain't got much and what we will start with will be a collection of basically bottom of the barrel stuff...
~Character Form~
- Name: (What they're called... Yes I still need to describe what a name is...)
- Appearance: (Generally should give a clear picture of what the character looks like, though not necessarily meaning a photograph is needed)
- Year: (Of High schooling that is)
- Class: (A to Zed, All it determines right now is who'd be classmates)
- Personality: (Persona, how your character would react to others communicating with them, what sort of impression they show. Are they sociable? Approachable?)
- Characteristics: (The depths of a person. Are they talkative? Brave? Or maybe just plain odd? Things that are less readily apparent on the outside, somewhat hidden by the persona.)
- Interests: (What a person enjoys, what they have passion for...)
- Proficiencies: (What they are good at. From cooking, to just plain talking)
- Electives and Clubs: (Aside from Senshado, what other electives and/or clubs said person is a part off... Yes you can decide one and it automatically becomes an option for other characters to be part off)
For starters our club president and her friend found in the hangars some old but workable vehicles...
From left to right...
- A French Renault FT for a two person crew with the unfortunate one occupant turret.
- A Japanese Type 95 Ha-Go for three but still has the same single person turret, thought at least the machine-gunner could help pass shells.
- A British Light Tank Mark VII A17 Tetrarch with a three person crew and a two person turret.
- A Czechoslovakian LT vz. 38 otherwise known as the Panzer 38(t) in German service with a four person crew with two in the turret.
- A Russian T-26 with a three person crew, two of which occupy the turret like the tetrarch.
Yes we will find more tanks as our story progresses but at the moment that's whats in the tank box of the school... Consider them training wheels... Though if push comes to shove our girls will have to make do with these rust buckets against other schools...
