Code Geass - War For the Homeland

Robert listened to the plan that Sho had laid out, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. Why the hell was he going behind enemy lines? Do they want him to die? Compared to everyone else in the room, Robert was by far the worst when it came to piloting a Knightmare frame. Just because he knew how they worked, didn't men he was good at using them. And as the plan Sho relayed to the group continued, Robert's thoughts began to drift even more so towards the risk: surely, General Sho had some back-up plan in case group one failed, right? That thought was quickly rectified when it was revealed that it was a stealth mission: something that Robert was absolutely untrained for. But there was no going back now. After all, he was french, and looked like a Britannian. That did not help him with the thought that he would be paired up with Marcia. Then again, how in the world would anyone be mentally prepared to trust someone whom they just met - And knew that they killed dozens, if not hundreds of people, and tortured a lot of them. No, Robert thought to himself. Think positively. Sure, you have a war criminal on your team, but you also got that guy Garcia; he's pretty chill.

Thankfully, Robert was not the one to voice his concerns with General Sho's plan. The one man who arrived late, Fenrir, voiced his concerns with the mission. Unfortunately, however, his concerns were waved off. Sure, the lives of the black knights were valuable, but throwing W-1 lives away with a plan like that wasn't going to solve anything. The lead of the pencil he was writing in his journal with snapped, and he slowly shut his book.

Robert sighed.

"If that is your order, than I shall obey you, General Sho. If you would be kind enough, may you tell us when you plan to begin this mission? Also, what will our disguise be? Do you have Britannian soldier uniforms?"

The gruff voice of Fenrir rung out again, in retaliation to the tampering of his Knightmare.

To this, Robert became confused. He understood the fact that a specialized Knightmare could be named, as it was one of a kind, but he couldn't wrap his head around naming something like a Sutherland. They far outclassed the Glasgow, sure, but they were still infantry units. Their is no need to name something that was likely going to be destroyed anyways. The other thing that startled Robert, was the fact that Fenrir pointed towards him when referring to people who were allowed to touch his Knightmare. This confused him only briefly, however, as he could see how someone would come to the conclusion that he was a researcher. After all, he was the only person wearing a damn lab coat.

He opened his journal, and pulled a pen from his breast pocket. As he did so, he began to trace out his own Sutherland, which he had not seen since arriving here.

From the Weakest Goblin To the Greatest God

The wolf seemed intimidated by the roar, as it lowered itself to the ground slightly. It still was on guard, however, and was about to resume it's attack. Thankfully, the other two goblins leaped at the chance to kill the wolf. Lomen charged forward, using the wooden shield he held as a barrier to protect him in case the runt recognized their strategy. The runt, still in shock from the sudden burst of noise, had all it's attention on Kishi, not paying any attention as Lomen's horn dug into it's soft side. A howl, and it turned towards Lomen to strike, before another goblin speared it in the other side. The beast released a loud howl, and held it until it died off as a low whimper. On the ground, 6 corpses laid. 2 of friends, 2 of prey, and 2 of enemies. Blood littered the pathway, and a thick metallic scent hung in the air like a miasma. Kishi slowly stopped himself from shaking.

Kishi began to make hhis way towards the corpses of his fallen comrades.

Isurta's body was unrecognizable, with barely any meat left on her bones, which now protruded out like sharp daggers. Her soft, feminine features were now indistinguishable from any other body, besides the fact that her blue skin was littered on the few pieces of meat that remained. Meanwhile, Xaal's fate had been discovered, as he laid on the ground a dozen feet away, appearing as if he had put up a struggle. He was in a similar shape as Isurta, but unlike her, had nothing left to distinguish his identity. If it had not been for the fact that his body type matched the skeleton, and he was last seen here, this could have been anyone's corpse. A bile threatened to escape from Kishi's lips, but he held it in. He wasn't going to vomit while others were watching. He wasn't going to show the weakness that had gotten these two killed in the first place.

Kishi slowly began to pick up Xaal, the heavier of the two corpses, and slid him onto Kishi's back. He then turned to face the two still living goblins.

"You two were excellent in that fight. I see that you didn't get that horn out of pure luck, Lomen. And Zectoll, you were able to move for less than a day and you already caught up to me. How do you think that will make me feel! Just kidding."

Kishi's eyes turned downwards, and his voice adopted a much more serious tone.

"You probably realized it by now, but I used you two to get to Isurta and Xaal. I'm sorry I risked your lives. If you could, however, I would be indebted to you if you could help me carry them back."

Kishi bowed his head in shame.

"We should probably eat one of the wolves now. We will not be able to carry all of the bodies back, so getting rid of one of them would be good."

From the Weakest Goblin To the Greatest God

Kishi slowly gripped the spear in his hands, before slowly putting it on the other side of the trunk. Using the shaft as a grip, he silently ascended the tree and stopped at the lowest branch. The limb was thick, shown when Kishi rested his entire weight onto the branch without it so much as bending. Despite this, moving himself across a branch, no matter how thick, was difficult.

Especially when you are carrying a spear that is nearly the length of your body.

Slowly, he maneuvered his way into the middle of the branch, putting him directly above the wolf he had selected to kill. He slowed his breathing, and clutched the spear with a grip that nearly broke the shaft in two and left splinters in his palms. Not that he could feel it with the wild rush of adrenaline running through him, anyways. Kishi sat there, not moving, not breathing, waiting several seconds to guarantee that Lomen and Zectoll were prepared, before jumping down to what may have been his death.

Thankfully, it wasn't.

The tip of the horn buried itself deeply into the wolf, to the point where Kishi felt the spine pose resistance, before snapping. The fact that he dropped onto the creature with all of his weight and no warning, only cemented it's death. The wolf itself proved as a perfect landing pad, and did not even leave a bruise on Kishi's body. The wolf released a light croak before it's eyes glazed over, crimson liquid flowing from the wound Kishi had created. The same liquid that was drawn when its kind ripped apart Isurta and Xaal. Kishi tore the spear from the corpse, taking care to not destroy the pelt of the black creature.

As he did so, he heard a low, threatening growl.

Lomen and Zectoll had failed in killing the second wolf, expected considering it's speed and power. Kishi took a breath, realizing what he had to do. He wasn't going to lose more goblins to these damn beasts. Slowly, Kishi began to maneuver himself to the front of the creature, lightly jabbing the spear in the air near the wolf's eyes and snout. In order to guarantee that the monster's focus was on himself, Kishi took in a deep breath, before he released a blood curdling screech. The wolf's ears folded backwards, a reaction to the suddenness and intensity of the noise.

Hopefully, the other goblins would capitalize on the distracted wolf, and strike it while it attacked him.

Code Geass - War For the Homeland

Robert, while playing with his new phone, was startled to a sitting position when the previously strict-looking man began to talk to him. The man, whom Robert was informed was named Sho, dispensed some advice that sincerely touched Robert. Ever since he had been assigned to this team, Robert has had serious doubts. There was no way in hell he was going to pass up the opportunity, but he was far from the best candidate. He had very little experience with piloting knightmares, and zero battlefield experience whatsoever. The thought that he would be selected to join an elite team... was alarming to say the least. Robert waited several seconds, thinking of an appropriate response.

"That means a lot, sir. If I may ask, who else have you selected-"

Before he could even finish his question, the door opened, revealing a woman of Asian descent, most likely Japanese. She entered the room before turning towards Sho and giving an emotionless, monotone greeting.

"General, Fuuka Shiomi has arrived as requested."

She gave a passing glance at Robert, who returned it. She was fairly short, with dark hair and grey eyes, as monotone as her voice. She carried herself with a professional atmosphere, walking heel-to-toe. She seemed far too menacing to have a conversation with, so Robert remained in silence, silently sketching the schematics from his phone into the small notebook he carried with him to pass the time. After what felt like hours, but was more likely minutes, the door opened again to reveal a women completely decked out in full uniform. Robert's heart skipped a beat.

'Lieutenant Maria Doroshenko, reporting for duty sir'.

This was the moment that Robert realized that whatever W-1 was, it wasn't just a game. Why else would they employ one of the biggest war criminals in the entire EU?! If Robert's concern showed, it dissipated quickly. After all, it is a good thing she is here, isn't it? That just meant Robert won't be on the receiving end of whatever she decided to throw Brtannias way. Besides, she has to be a good pilot if she was able to get here in the first place. As her eyes passed over Robert, he felt an incomprehensible chill run down his spine. He quickly returned to the sketching he was doing, which had devolved into creating cool drawings of mechas several minutes ago.

"Commander of W-1, Jack Blake reporting in for mission briefing sir."

Walking in now was the man who would lead the W-1 team. Jack Blake. Entering with him were two women and a man of Hispanic ethnicity, whom Robert had liked the moment he opened his mouth. Unlike the 'professionals', this 'Corporal Garcia' as ,Sho addressed him, seems alright. The two women walked to sit opposite of Robert, who immediately shut his journal, in which he had just finished drawing a giant robot with sunglasses. As he did so, however, Sho's words immediately stood out to Robert, who quickly announced his concerns as soon as Sho's overview was over.

"Not to doubt your orders, sir, but does that include me? I doubt that I am anywhere near as skilled in a knightmare as everyone else here, and I assumed I would be more of an engineer-"

Once more, the door reopened, revealing an incredibly muscular man who entered quickly entered the room.

"Corporal Fenrir Silber reporting for duty general and I apologize for tardiness sir."

Something came up, I'll post around 6:30. If someone wants to, they can skip me till then.

The Evening Looms: Since All Has Risen [A War of Magic and Other Powers]

Kurt Plikat

Name:

Kurt Plikat

Age:

23

Gender:

Male

Race/Nationality:

White - German

Appearance:

Appearance

5'10, 170 lb, and very little fat. His eyes are blue, but appear green because of his yellow safety glasses, which he wears almost constantly. He has blonde hair, which rests on his head and flies wildly in the wind. He keeps it long, believing that women find it more attractive. He either wears his uniform, or t-shirts which display his muscles.

Personality:

Arrogant, womanizing, and show-off can all be used to describe Kurt. He has a collection of qualities that all blend down to that special kind of d-bag. He sees no problem with playing dirty, and will always boast about his achievements to the ladies. He has very few emotional ties, and as a result, can appear very uncaring and unmotivated to those who do not know him. Kurt personally does not drink, but is willing to take advantage of inebriated females who cross his path. He will never go out of his way for these women however, and will only court them if they show interest first. Kurt has a very traditional mindset, and doubts in the abilities of women unless he is shown what they are capable of. He has an obsessive attitude towards his glasses, wearing them even while inside, which only adds to how much of a douche he appears to be. Kurt holds those who compliment anything positive about him very closely, and has a very strong sense of morals, of which cheating is not a part. Kurt has an uncle, father, mother, and a brother, but they live outside of Mundin and he does not consider them family. Kurt does not enjoy hurting people emotionally, and refuses to touch women who are 'taken'. Finally, Kurt's best trait is his strong sense of justice, and his unwillingness to compromise his beliefs.

Underneath the layers of cockiness that Kurt sets up, lies a very fragile persona. Due to the molestation he experienced as a child, he has had severe self-image issues, which he disguises with intense exercising and a cocky attitude. He takes every insult personally, and has gone through multiple periods of anorexia. Coping with suicidal and self-harming thoughts at a young age, Kurt attempts to give the illusion that he has a perfect life (He has had very few, if any, thoughts of harming himself since joining the MDU). Additionally, his power caused several odd traits to manifest in Kurt, such as a fear of heights, feeling comfortable below sea level, and developing a penchant towards rock candy. Due to his poor upbringing, Kurt has a small degree of hoarding, and also is below average in terms of intellect.

Kurt loves puns, especially about rocks.

Abilities:

Geokinesis

Kurt is capable of moving rocky materials such as dirt, stone, cement, and concrete. He is capable of manipulating it as long as he is 'connected' to it (He would be able to move a boulder laying on the ground if he was on the ground, but would only be able to move a rock in the air if he touched it). Any piece of earth he is already moving, he can move for as long as he wishes, and does not need to be 'connected' to it while he moves it. He can change the shape, speed, and design of the earth he is manipulating. His range of manipulating earth he is already moving extends outwards to a 50-foot radius of himself. His control over earth is very precise, and he is able to create intricate sculpture out of stone with ease. Kurt can fire a single piece of earth that weighs 1 pound at bullet-like speed, with decent precision.

Unfortunately, his power has multiple limiters. Every time he wishes to manipulate earth, no matter what, he must be doing some somatic input. The amount of movement required to use his power is equal to or greater than a foot step, and must be maintained during the entirety of the manipulation. Additionally, his powers maximum weight that he can lift is 250lbs. He is able to change the shape and texture of earth weighing more than 250 pounds, but lifting it will result in migraines, nosebleeds, burst blood vessels, aneurysms, seizures, amnesia, comas, and eventually death. Kurt can only manipulate 5 objects at a time, and moving them too fast will make them impossible to redirect. Due to his 5 object limit, manipulating something like sand is impossible for Kurt, even though he can create it. Additionally, Kurt's power is directly affected by his emotional state: it will work at full power when he is confident or doing what he believes is right, but can be weakened to nearly half it's usual power if he is depressed or doing something he morally disagrees with. Finally, his power affects rock-like materials only, meaning no metal.

Biography:

Born and raised in the city of Dortmund, Kurt's childhood was spent in poverty. His father spent hours every day searching for a job, but with unemployment on the rise and a flailing economy, their was little a convicted criminal could do to support his family. His older bother was the provider, and they barely managed to scrap by with welfare and his abysmal paycheck. Due to this poor lifestyle, Kurt spent his time at the local lake, spending hours fishing with the old fishing rod he was gifted by an old neighbor. It was at the age of 6 when his father finally cracked, begging his brother,Kurt's uncle, to give them refuge while he searched for a job.

Kurt's uncle was kind enough to offer refuge, allowing Kurt's family to stay at his mansion in Essen. Kurt's brother, having been relieved of the duty of providing for a starving family, returned to school. His mother had stopped the secret draining of family funds that she ad been doing for years, feeling comfortable in the large house. Kurt's father now could spend even longer searching for a job, which would never come. Kurt was brutally molested and raped.

Kurt's uncle had initially started the deed on his fourth night there and, with a voice dripping in venom, told Kurt that he would remove his family from the premises immediately if Kurt said a single word. As a result, Kurt quickly became a shy, introverted boy, and began to hate himself. In order to provide even a mild sense of security, and with the absence of a lake, Kurt began to exercise in his free time, spending hours training his body. At the age of 7, he was stronger than most kids twice his age. This life style continued for another year, until Kurt had hit the age of 8. It was at this time Kurt had finally had it.

Kurt left for child services in the middle of the night and, with multiple pieces of evidence (including a recording), successfully sentenced his uncle to 50 years in prison. After doing so, he was sent away from his family due to neglect, with no one ever realizing that Kurt had hidden the abuse on purpose. He was sent to the newly discovered city of Mundin, and lived in an orphanage until 14, it was then that his powers to manipulate the earth had begun to show itself, generating his new status as an empowered. It was at this point that the military, having begun to realize the potential that the empowered possessed, offered to allow Kurt to join the Mundin Defense Unit (MDU). With little other options for an child with no connections, Kurt agreed to the terms, placing him in a particularly nice training academy. During this time, he quickly formed his cocky persona, in order to appear more important to the other students. Graduating 4 years later at the age of 18, Kurt immediately joined the MDU, preparing to flaunt the powers he was given.

5 years later, and Kurt is still living the life, and he is ready to finally show the world that no matter how hard it tries, it can't beat him down.

Relations

Ken Black: Kurt's closest friend. Ever since they met on a joint mission in the MDU, the two have been inseparable. Whenever Kurt is not hanging at home or work, he is probably out with Ken, whether out on the town, or just hanging out. Ken is arguably the closest and only friend that Kurt has and, as such, is the person that Kurt would go to first in an emergency. Kurt values his friendship with Ken over everything else and, despite his teasing, would do anything for Ken. The only thing that Kurt dislikes about Ken is his shyness, which Kurt is trying to remedy with babes and booze. The past 8 months that the two had shared were the happiest time in Kurt's life, and he wouldn't trade it for anything.
WIP

Other:

He works for the Mundin Defense Unit, and usually is assigned to help watch the Eastern wall.

Kurt, surprisingly enough, is an avid fisher, and enjoys spending his time in this manner, especially in the summer months.

Kurt dislikes drunks, muscular men, and married women. He hates Pedophiles, child abusers, and people who question his sexuality.

Kurt likes children (Not in that way), lifting weights, compliments, and puns. He loves women, fishing, and law enforcement.

As expected of someone with his abilities, Kurt has an irrational fear of heights. This only manifested itself after he got his powers.

Despite all of his efforts, Kurt is still a virgin, but will vehemently deny this fact, usually by listing off multiple fake names.

Kurt is incredibly frugal, and saves half of everything he earns in a safety deposit box.

Code Geass - War For the Homeland

@vancexentan
Sorry, just refreshed the page. Personally, I'm okay with it. It's a lot better than it was before, the character fills the CQC space that the party needs, and he has an acceptable backstory and motives. The only 'issue' I see is that his Knightmare has a little too many armaments, but that's just me being nit-picky, and it's not a problem if everyone else is okay with it.

Also, I'll post IC sometime tomorrow, around noonish.
