ϟ ϟ ϟ ϟ 《》 5 DAYS AGO 《》 UNKNOWN [???] 《》 Night
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Heavy boots fell onto rainy pavements. All things were obscured by the dark of night and shadows cast by bright searchlights. Alarms were ringing out into the open sky at a UDF base in the middle of nowhere. Men and women of the divisions were frantically shouting call-outs about an enemy force being within their midsts. Bright flashes of lightning and gunfire could be observed all around them. This adversary was fast, cunning, and above all else more than just human. They seemed to be everywhere at once, breaching any kind of lock, and completely overpowering any kind of defense that the UDF could put up with in a place like this. There could only be one explanation for this kind of attack—Renegades.

The invading team urged any and all UDF soldiers to surrender unless they were fired upon first. Some were smarter than others. As soon as Aeon powers were on display, most human soldiers simply gave up even if they were ordered to continue fighting. One after another, automated turrets and other defense systems were taken down by gunfire or an assortment of elemental magic provided by spirits. Renegades were not necessarily hostile towards the UDF. They had been disavowed for many different reasons in the past and present, which made their motives differ quite radically from each other. However, in this case, there was plenty of bitterness towards the UDF involved. The team penetrated deeper into the base, moving as a solid unit at what could only be described as pressurized water through steel pipes. They surgically cut through any resistance in their way, alive or otherwise.

"This is it. Over there, Joel." Benjamin said while pointing at an enormous, reinforced vault door in the inner sanctum of the base. Joel rapidly advanced ahead and began to plant explosive devices around the central area of the locking mechanisms. The breaching would weaken the internal structure of the door to such an extent that they could physically break through by hand. A short countdown was initiated before the controlled blast went off. The team was unmoved by the ear-shattering sound and pressurized air being slung outward into the room. Joel and another member of the team, Lucas, removed the vault door together and moved inside. Benjamin followed suit and began rumbling through documents in various compartments of old filing containers.

"Forty-five seconds, guys." Olivia spoke from outside the vault—the fourth member of the team. Any emergency alarm triggered at a UDF base automatically sent a distress signal, which any and all nearby forces had to respond to. The average response time was about a minute, depending on location. As this particular base was ranked as 'high value', nearby forces would certainly converge in less than a minute. "How are we looking? The last member of the team, Diana, asked as she arrived at the scene after having dealt with a security protocol. "There are three sweaty dudes in there—what do you think?" Olivia smirked. "I heard that!" Lucas shouted from inside the vault. Diana and Olivia looked at each other and chuckled.

"Here it is." Benjamin stopped in his tracks. Joel and Lucas halted their search and looked to their commander. "Where we going, boss?" Joel asked. Benjamin had a slight confusion plastered on his expression, though quickly consumed by a hint of doubt. He tried to calm his senses for a brief moment, to meditate on what he had just learned, and attempt to hear the Voice speak guidance—alas, it remained silent. "Steelwater. It's in Steelwater." Benjamin said and returned eye contact with his fellow 1st Edition S.W.A.R.G. members. "Alright, better pack that bathing suit. Draymere has some sick beaches." Lucas joked around.

"You sure about this, mate? There's no going back once we get going." Benjamin spoke to Lucas with a heavy gaze and a deeply implied sense of danger under the threat of being branded a traitor to the UDF and all mankind. Lucas did not respond, he merely returned a modest but reassured nod at the former Guardian legend. "We are with you, boss, all the way. The pack never splits, they hunt as one." Joel said and gave both of the other men a firm pat on their shoulders. Diana and Olivia had approached the entrance to the vault, observing the bro-moment. "We realize that you boys love each other, but we really need to go." Olivia said, as they began to gather themselves and dispose of any evidence of their existence. Lucas tossed two grenades into the vault as they left. The explosion was enough to vaporize any and all traces of them ever being there, and what they might have taken with them.

Very cool WOMBO art! Also, you added the 'Lore' section, but there's nothing there. Did you mean to add something?

Hi Mom going to try to PUMP something tonight.

Last week was a blur :(

∇∇∇∇ 《》 DAY 1 《》 STEELWATER [Landing Zone] 《》 Late Morning 《》 @Archangel89
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Emilia was running out of bullets relatively fast. Magazine after magazine was ejected from her rifle, dry and empty. If the creatures would come too close while she was reloading, even if her technique in that endeavor was rapid, Emilia would launch herself from the ground and land a few stone throws away. However, it seemed like a never-ending dance. The tiny moss things and insect-like creatures swarmed endlessly from somewhere across the landing zone. The area in which they fought the hostiles was located on the immediate outskirts of Steelwater. A central highway close by led straight to the inferno ahead. A scantily dotted forest and modest creek separated the World Eaters battalion from the city itself.

“No, we need to move further into the city. There's always something bigger causing these tiny shits to come at you forever.” Emilia said while emptying her last magazine, standing back to back with Aaron. She swung her rifle aside and shouldered the shotgun she had secured from the armory at the CEC. “We should move through the forest cover and across the creek over there.” She said while pressing a couple of fingers against the communication device around her neck. Emilia frantically cast her eyes around the field to see what was happening and where everyone was. Luckily, the team was surely independent. This was the luxury of being in the Special Warfare and Reconnaissance Group. Each member was battle-hardened, an expert in their field, and a leader capable of making their own decisions that would most benefit the mission.

Emilia caught sight of the research station glass dome. It was way too close to the city and in an actual Danger Close situation. Not only were the creatures swarming it, although being kept at bay, but it was also at risk of being hit by the artillery shelling. Emilia adjusted the channel on her communication device to synch with the World Eaters battalion. The chatter quickly changed from more or less silence to full-on chaos. She managed to find and isolate the officer channel and interrupted their chatter without remorse. The area was rather safe with Aaron, Scylla, Amanita, and the others completely tearing the enemy a new one, so Emilia took the moment to address the issue right away.

“Break-break-break. This is Emilia Lange of the UDF Guardian Corps. and Special Warfare and Reconnaissance Group. Who is the commanding officer here?”
"Well, well, well. If it isn't WarDiv's favorite toy."
Emilia sighed.
"Who is this?"
"This is Brigadier General Francis C. Hummel of the World Eaters battalion. And you and your band of freaks will not interrupt any proceedings that are currently underway. This city is contaminated beyond saving."
"Do you see the huge dome of glass on the other side of the creek there? The one with the huge UDF text on it? Could you not shoot at it, maybe? That would be fucking terrific."
"There is no victory without sacrifice, Lange. Surely McMahon taught you that—BwAhAhaHaHahHaA" The general said and burst into violently uncontrollable laughter before the communication channel was cut.

"Fucking maniac." Emilia muttered while switching channels again. "Okay, let's move up. Across the trees and creek here, to the research station up ahead, just by the highway exit to the city." She said while pressing against the communications choker device around her neck. "Aaron! We're moving up, get to the dome as fast as you can—over there." Emilia shouted across a sea of bizarre things to wherever Aaron was, keeping the area clear. It was then that whatever incited the little creatures emerged from the creek itself. It was huge, slimy, with arms and tentacles sprawling from seemingly every possible body part. There was no telling what this thing was or had been before. "Fuck-There it is! Aaron! Over there—go, go, go!" Emilia tried to direct the man before everyone else—the dude was fast, strong, and a total wild card for the enemy.



Quest Steps
The first Big Bad of the game is this thing on the right—the vertical depiction in the image showing the 'deep legion'. It will be up and active until I describe it as dead by whoever attacked it last. This is where the combat 'system' plays its part, but it will not be visible all that much. Remember to put those icons in your post, 2 of them, if you want to. This is still completely optional.

That's okay. The ideal number of players that I silently aim for is 5. It's not always about the player count, but how fast/slow people are pumping out posts. Imagine that everyone that has a character here was super active and posted very fast—we'd be drowning in posts and it would be nearly impossible to keep up. Equally, if everyone posts too slow with that many players, you are looking at 2 months (minimum) before it's your 'turn' to post again. And, if the character cast seems small with 5 people, it's easily fixable by adding secondary characters.

Right now, I think we need to cut down the post length just a tiny bit and reduce the time between posts. We have very good pace for being so many and having rather lengthy posts, but it could be adjusted just a fraction. I also think that I need to post more—activity inspires activity from others. I'm planning to do some IC-'flavor' posts for Benjamin that do not necessarily interact with anyone, but will add an important dimension to this character that everyone supposedly has to care about somehow.

edit. Updated the 0th IC-post with names for different times. We don't post often enough to warrant the specific timestamps. But, I still put them in (parenthesis) for each name. @Aeolian started with this, so I figured we might as well do it. "Late Morning" is now 09:00-12:00. There's a name for 3-hour segments for the entirety of 24 hours that we can use.

Updating some of the layout and design. I've got a new IC-post format that I'll use. If anyone wants to use it right away, I'll put it here. You can find the appropriate character banner in the updated character tab to fit this new ic-post.



edit. This is optional, though. You can modify this anyway you want, as well.
