Arpeggio of Blue Steel: The Phantom Fleet (OPEN)

I was considering a naval RP recently, but my idea was that the players owned/operated a Los Angeles Class attack submarine in the Atlantic and pitted them against a Soviet Fleet. But this works too.
I'll choose the IJN Kumano, a Mogami Class Heavy Cruiser with 10x 200mm guns, 8x 127mm guns and an assortment of Anti-Aircraft guns.

Nice! If Kensai takes Yukikaze then the Fleet so far will consist of a Carrier, Battleship, Heavy Cruiser, Light Cruiser, and a destroyer. Not a bad distribution to start.

Fleet of Fog aircraft are going to be similar to the drones in Ace Combat. They are mostly automous of the carrier but one on one they will lose to a modern, human figther with a pilot. But usually they are outnumbered 3 to 1 at least

@Vertigo

Thanks! Full sized hulls and weapons with these ship-girls. Also, feel free to hop in if you get the time. The structure of the story makes it really easy to incorporate new ships.

Fleet of Fog torpedoes have the option of flying like a cruise missile

I believe that Izurich has claimed New Jersey.

Any ship from WW2 Era?

Hmmm okay. I think I'm going to do something silly then.

Play an Atlanta-Oakland class ship. One of the types that were supreme Anti-Air ships, but still had the capability to fight surface targets as well.

@BigPapaBelial

That's right! The concept of the story is Shinano sheltering FOG ships that have gone rogue. It doesn't matter what type or country of origin as long as it is a fighting ship.

@Kensai

I'm changing that particular point a bit so they are more effective.

Speaking of ships, you can play as any ship from WW2 as long as it is not Enterprise, Yamato, or Musahi.

These three ships are reserved for the plot.

"This has to be some sick joke right? There's no way this is actually happening..." Mizutani's fingers had pushed into her hair as she looked solemnly into her teacup.

Ciradyl resisted the smile that wanted to appear on her lips and forced herself to appear frightened, clinging to the collar of her own dress. The explosions had sent shockwaves that shook their floor and the sounds of battle echoed ever closer. Her guards had managed to send up a report of the situation which had been the catalyst for Miztuani's despair. It was such a sweet expression on her face that Ciradyl wished she had more time to enjoy and make it even better. Time was sadly running out and she needed to isolate Mizutani from her bodyguard.

"Tane, I'm scared. Your guards are strong, right? It was a pathetically submissive and hopeful voice, but one she knew would move her to do what she wanted.

Mizutani stopped digging her fingers further into her scalp at her words and seemed to regain a portion of her composure "Yes, they are strong my little Cici." She walked over and caressed her cheek with a single finger. Her attention turned to the elite guard inside the room "Barricade that door and don't let anyone in! Now, dammit! Mizutani screamed and they moved in accordance with her orders, gathering around the entrance to the room. Anything that seemed sturdy enough, regardless of value, was stacked against the door.

Mizutani took Ciradyl's hands and held them up between them "Stay close and I'll get us through this, 'kay Cici." That sickeningly sweet voice was laced with a different intention but Ciradyl complied regardless. There was no doubt that Mizutani would try to utilize Ciradyl as a hostage to buy whatever time that would give her. Her keen ears then picked up on the faint whirling sound of something mechanical before a thunderous roar. It was enough to send a chill down her spine and worry for Kirin's safety if the twisted grin on Mizutani's face was any indication.

Interested.

@Kensai

Good to have you!

Arpeggio of Blue Steel: The Phantom Fleet (OPEN)

Still looking for players! Roleplay will likely start at the end of the week.

@Ithradine

I will be putting the start of the RP on hold until there is more interest.
