Noble Arms Plot Summaries

Mission One Summary: Defend Lingayen Gulf



The picture is that of Lingayen Beach, where the PCs will have their first IC action. They will not be given time to prepare or talk much outside of flashbacks (yes, I know, heresy), but rather will be placed on the beach from the get-go. Their mission would be to defend against two waves of Chinese attacks; the first made up of conventional forces and the second made up of Arms Masters (never outnumbering the OCs). To win this, and make no mistake, you *can* win, you are going to have to play things smart and conserve your energy in the first wave to have enough for the second wave.

You will not be alone; you have 2000 Philippine Marines and 20,000 Philippine Army Infantry helping you guys, supported by South Korean K136 Rocket Artillery, ATMO S2000 self-propelled howitzers, and Elbit Sabrah Tracked tanks. There are also Helicopters.

Intermission One: The First Arms Master (Set on September 30 2022).

The OCs, including Lotus Squadron, Kaitlyn, and any Non-Arms Masters, are grouped into a Special Task Force, with Noel (my OC and the only eligible one for command) as its nominal head. As Lingayen City rebuilds, they are to spend the next two weeks helping rebuild the city, hunting down Chinese stragglers and infiltrators, and eventually, resting and relaxing. At the start of said two weeks, however, some of them would receive news from Great Britain: The origin of all Noble Arms has been revealed to the world, and it is from an unexpected source - A man thought dead for 68 years, Alan Turing, a man has who now revealed himself to be *The First Arms Master*, the reason for Noble Arms' existence, and who despite his 'posthumous' pardon back in 2013, is *not* coming back to Great Britain just yet until Humanity as a whole has cleaned up their acts...

You guys can react to the news however you want, and rest and relax after that.

Mission Two Summary: The Siege of Mischief Reef (Revised)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischief_Reef

Mischief Reef/Đá Vành Khăn/Panganiban Reef, an island closer to the Philippines than to China yet occupied and enlarged by the latter, has been seized by a third faction, a group of defectors from China calling themselves the 'Qing Restoration Society'. Led by their New Emperor, a young boy who nevertheless has an A-Rank Noble Arm that can control water, the QRS have driven out the Chinese and devestated the nearby People's Liberation Navy groups in the Spratlys, allowing ASEAN an opening. Your mission, Arms Masters, is to relieve and resupply Mischief Reef before the Chinese counterattack ends the prospect of a new Qing Dynasty; a flotilla of Filipino and Indoensian Ships will try and run the Chinese Blockade with the Arms Masters of Task Force Obsidian in tow.

However, even after landing, all will not be well, as the Chinese will be sending a special strike force: Their own 'Foriegn Volunteer Brigade', composed of former terrorists who hate the current world order more than they hate each other! Led by Mei Yuanuyan, an Anti-Arms Master terrorist who had grown her own Noble Arm, these Volunteers also have their own cunning, bloody-minded ferocity, and above all, a willingness to bring down the pain...

The ASEAN flotilla is composed of 2 Jose Rizal-class frigates, 1 Pohang-class Corvette, and 2 Del Pilar-class patrol vessels from the Philippines, 2 Nagpasa-class submarines, 2 Martadinata-class frigates, 3 Bung Tomo-class corvettes, and 4 Clurit-class Missile Boats from Indonesia, as well as 2 Auxiliary ships filled with supplies. Lotus Squadron will also be flying from Antonio Bautista Air Base in Palawan Island to support all of you by clearing the skies for your transport plane.

Intermission Two: Ghosts of Angeles City

After a victorious second mission, Task Force: Obsidian has been redeployed from Lingayen to rest and recuperate in Angeles City, where a luxury hotel has been set aside for their use, and their stay is fully paid. Relatively untouched by the Chinese bombardment and air war, Angeles City is filling up with refugees, many of who are being victimized by various fraudsters and criminals, while at the same time, there is a rumor going around that the American-Asian mixed-race community in the city, descended from American military personnel back when the Americans owned the historical Clark Air Base, are to blame for the Chinese Invasion. However, the remaining malls, casinos, and luxury businesses do care not for that, and so the party faces a choice: Involve themselves, or enjoy a chance at the high life?

Mission Three: Assault on Jinghong Dam

Before the ASEAN War, the Chinese built a dam to control the flow of the Mekong River and generate power for its people, as well as to exert a means of influence over the neighboring countries downstream, the ASEAN members Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and the furthest south of Vietnam. Now that the conflict has started, China has slowed down the flow of water to a trickle, raising fears of drought while increasing their supply of electricity for their war effort. Even worse, the Chinese have placed PoW camps in the floodplains below the dam to deter airstrikes. Your goals, Arms Masters and Ordinary Folk are to evacuate the PoWs and then destroy the dam...

Mission Four: Knives in Phnom Penh (Current Mission)

Recent stories of war crimes and crimes against humanity (such as those found at Jinghong Dam) have soured relations between NATO and the PRC from averse to outright economic sanctions. Cut off from food imports and certain raw resources, Chinese embassies have reached out to each member of ASEAN to establish rules of engagement between the combatants. Only half of ASEAN members have returned the PRC's calls: Laos, Cambodia, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, and Burma. Malaysia reports an impasse; the rest have (until now) kept discussions private.

During these three weeks, King Norodom Socheata of Cambodia passed away under suspicious circumstances. The United States has shared intel that unknown members of the Downward Descent were in Phnom Penh during this time, though no linkage to the king's death can be found. In reaction, the Kingdom of Cambodia has officially closed its borders until the death can be confirmed of natural causes.

The newly elected king, His Majesty Sisowath Samnang, has reopened borders and announced that the suspect, one Keo Chantrea, has been caught and executed. He further reports breakthroughs regarding Chinese negotiations, as confirmed by Laos. The Kingdom subsequently invites the PRC, along with its own ASEAN allies, to a parley in Phnom Penh. The Downward Descent has not departed Cambodia to our knowledge, so, in addition to amplifying personal protection, the Philippines has requested the presence of the Philippine Navy's Arms Masters to safeguard the talks.

Update: The Cambodian Government decided to betray ASEAN, defect to China, and have the Royal Cambodian Army attack the Peace Conference they called, but several of their people decided this was a bad idea and stayed loyal to ASEAN or turned neutral. Now Phnom Penh is at war, with the Cambodian Government bringing in Russian and Venezuelan mercenaries and Iranian Shaeeed Drones to bomb its own people who stayed loyal to ASEAN or had second thoughts.

@LimeTime966, it's fine for you not to use Discord for now.

Also, a few things:

Noble Arms are not transformed from mundane items; they appear in a flash of light in one's hand as manifestations of the soul.

Also, a Noble Arm must be a single weapon, or if you really must have two weapons, they must be connected to each other by a chain, rope, or string.

Other than that, you have Approval One from me; once you get Approval Two from any of my Co-GMs, you're good to go once you edit your profile to include my requested connections...
Mykhailo Martinez

Fuka was being... Nice? Mykhailo smiled before replying, "I... I'm well. I'm talking to my parents right now; telling them I'm on a mission and will be less available, and also not to worry - Although they will. Honestly, maybe they should have another child; perhaps a daugther. I don't want them to be beraved by me... dying, after all."

The young man chuckled at that, before saying, "Everyone's scared of death. But that's why we find reasons to fight anyway, despite the risk. For me, it's stopping people from dying."

Like Artemio, not that at 2014, I can go brag about having had a boyfriend.

He kept the follow-up brief, asking, "So, tell me about yourself? You're my senior, after all?"

@Smike
@Urizen, I just edit my Character Sheet in the Characters Tab, right?
@Tiliqua, welcome back!
@Rhona W, I might - might - be interested.
@aurebesh, provisionally approved, but I'd like it if you correct some spelling and grammar errors on your character sheet.
Mykhailo Martinez

Mykhailo was satisfied that he had made a passable first impression with his comrades; not exceptional, but not dismal, either. So he went off to check his checklist and itinerary first, then went to the showers to keep himself clean, then went to get lunch - Corned beef with hash browns and the best coffee the cafeteria can afford. He also bought an English-to-Maltese phrasebook for himself. Then, the young man decided to spend at least ten minutes talking to his parents; he missed them, after all.

He sought a bench where he could pull out his Smartphone - Like heck, he was going to use a military pad for private correspondence and risk getting somehow hacked if someone stole his parents' phones - And call his Mother and Father, telling them he was going on a mission and that he will be less available to chat for a while.

The young man missed his parents; it was not old news. After all, they were his Mom and Dad; they stuck with him, they helped him through his grief at losing Artemio, and they accepted him for who he was. And beyond that... They made each other happy. One day, he will have a spouse of his own - male or female - and they will adopt or conceive a child of their own.

It was while dreaming of that optimistic future that the young man ran into someone; if it was Lázaro, Mikhaylo would remark, "Hey, Mr. Ruiz - Circus - how have you been doing?"

If it was Aurélie, Mykhailo would say, "Hey, Chevy; how are you adjusting to life here? Are you okay with the prospect of fighting previous employers? Also, any rivals I should know about?"

The same question would be asked of Valkyrie but with an additional note of, "Also, I'll be blunt; have you worked with or for the Nation East of the Ukraine? If so, I'm glad you're on our side now; you're a badass and you'd make a fearsome enemy if you were not with us."

Ayvee... He planned to ask her out on a casual date, but he felt bad about doing so because he liked men more and he was not sure how she'd feel about something like that, even if she was accepting of his orientation. As for Fuka, Mykhailo planned to ignore her as long as she ignored him; best not to provoke her ire.

@Rhona W@AtomicNut@AvaP@Chronic@Kensai@Smike@Damo021
Dw i wont judge, just post your character :D


Umm... I already posted a link to my Roleplay's OOC Opening Post. Is it okay to ask why haven't you clicked it?
Do show, i did another rp but this time at Casual :D


The link was in my signature, but I'll post another link anyway:

roleplayerguild.com/topics/191493-nob…

Note by the way that Casual and Advanced have drifted a bit closer together; Casual now encourages more than two paragraphs (although my RP does not penalize them either, others discourage short posts), while Advanced encourages novella-length IC posts and reams of lore, which causes the pace to get very slow because people work on post quality a lot.

But both have places for an enthusiastic player, just so you know...
