So we have four people in total atm, not including me, so I'm gonna work in the background on an OOC whilst we wait for more potential interest!

@LetMeDoStuff@Wolverbells Question; will this RP be sandbox-like, or do you have a set general idea or storyline/plot line for each (or all) of the branches? I know you mentioned that players will have the freedom to make their own side plots, curated missions, etc., but I figured to ask as Stuff mentioned that this RP won't have a direct connection to the canonical story and that there might be some small or even large changes to the established lore of AoT.

@Kuro

It's going to be semi-sandbox in that regard, with there being a large overarching story that slowly creeps in over time. Most of the RP will feature player-made situations, small missions and/or the off-duty and out-of-combat lifestyles of each character. When it comes to the branches, each will have its own major part to play in the main story, whilst there will also be certain triggered events I'll throw in over time to bring everyone together if people have divided themselves too much.

With the training arc, it'll be a little less of that freedom due to training being quite universal but that out of action interaction will still be very much present.

In terms of a general idea, the overall idea is the Western Siege, the "war" to either reclaim territory or hold the line against increasing Titan waves.

As for story differences, there may be a very long delay for the ideas of Shifters coming in, and if they do I imagine they will not be directly on our side, as to add more difficulty and level the playing field of our experienced soldiers at that time. Hope this information was helpful!

Question is if we do the snow trek segment since we did have issues with that previously. Not saying that there will be issues here, but it was a point of discussion in the previous version.

@Kuro

In terms of this, there are likely going to be some differences with how training works. This isn't a direct reboot per se, more of a spiritual successor, meaning we can follow similar events but don't have to tie ourselves down to them. We can explore other training sessions with just as much expansion as well.

It seems like the Trainee Start-Date is our setting.

Though, whether or not we have a cataclysmic event before, instigating the joining to the military, or if we have the first major breach happen during their training to catch them off guard even more is up for debate. Personally I like the latter, makes their relaxed military life go all out, yet I will have absolutely no issues with the former either.

~ AoT: The Western Siege ~ Interest Check

I personally love the trainee starting point because it gives the characters time to form bonds or whatever before they go their separate ways.

@wolverbells

Yeah that works well! Can split it into multiple segments of training, relaxing and stuff like that. Also means that when we do split up, it justifies more open collaborations between branches out of simply knowing one another and potentially holding stronger bonds

@LetMeDoStuff I could ask Volde but his grandfather just died so I'm not sure if he's up for anything right now.

@Kuro

That's up to you and him. You can bring it up but I don't want to force anyone to join if they aren't in the best of times

~ AoT: The Western Siege ~ Interest Check

I shouldn’t, but I think I shall :1

Also starting in the Trainee Corps sounds good to me cx

@Bartimaeus

Epic gamer decision.

Let's see if we can grab more people as the hours go by, it's currently 3am and I'm awake lol

I still have Tanner's sheet, but not the OG Tanner's sheet.

though do i bring back the totally not a girl sthick

@Kuro

I'm tempted to remake a new character from the ground up, which is always a fun idea.

<Snipped quote by LetMeDoStuff>

Trainee corps is probably the best way to start things. Gives character development that we would otherwise miss out on.

@Kuro

I expected that this would be the more popular choice. I'm happy to work with it after all, gives us a familiar and almost nostalgic take back to the past.

I mean, I still have Grant's character sheet saved in preparation for a complete redux

~ AoT: The Western Siege ~ Interest Check

But yeah, I've been itching for a Somnium reboot/successor since Kuro refused to do it. I am glad for my memes not to be dreams.

@Inkarnate

Definitely a successor, I don't wanna just go "YOINK" and take the old RPs. So this one will likely function a tad bit differently in terms of how it starts. One major point to discuss before I make the OOC is whether we start in the Trainee Corps or begin straight in the Branches of the Military as newly graduates.
