The Major Comeback: Armies Galore! [Started/Accepting] [Application Thread] [PG-16]


Recommended Posts

IC Thread

[SPOILER=Plot]
It's been several years... And now, the world has reached the post-apocalyptic era. However, there are still 200 thousand people remaining.
It's the year 2400 and you are in a world where a third of the Earth's land has been destroyed, the remaining lands and wanderers have merged together. So now, you have an army to lead. All the armies will fight against each other for money, home, food and drink. They have nothing else to rely on other than technology; phones, satellite navigators, or every other high class technology.
The only conventional technology left in this post-apocalyptic Earth are Hybrid cars, which can only be used by the Emperor of their own army, YOU.

So, what shall we do with the remaining wanderers?

Yep. Hire them. That's right, you hire those people to fight for you. Hire those people, we call them remnants. They shall train under you, serve under you, and carry all of your burdens for you.

There are ranks amongst your army.

You, the Emperor

Then we have:

Knights -They are tanks, preferably. They have heavy armour and equips themselves with a club and shield. Loan Fee: 100 Gold
Warriors - Like Knights, they wear heavy armour. They equip themselves with all sorts of weapons ranging from great blades, clubs, spears and even lances. They are the strongest out of the group, though not invincible. Loan Fee: 90 Gold
Spearmen - They wear light armour and can attack long range, or perhaps multiple people at once. Obviously, they equip themselves with a spear. Loan Fee: 70 Gold
Bishops - They heal the rest of the troops, and also give support to their surroundings and their leader. They wear robes to battle and equips themselves with a two-handed rod. Loan Fee: 50 Gold
Soldiers - They wear rags to battle. They are the poorest compared to the rest of the troops. Plus, they are cheap to loan. They equip themselves with a long sword that chips easier than most weapons. Loan Fee: 10 Gold

You can borrow from the advisors, 5000 troops at a time, a thousand per rank for free. Extra troops can be loaned at a fee, depending on the rank. To get them, you'll need to fulfil Bounties. They are put up every week. So now, can you lead an army with standards only you will be able to set? Do you have a high enough standard to be able to lead?

Here's how it works. There are two advisors. And both know the fighting scene too well, and they hate each other too, or so they say. We call them Jun Kotomi and Ron Yim, two opposing advisors. We'll let you choose who to have as your mentor. They are only here to assist you, and tell you what's right and what's wrong. The rest is entirely YOUR decision. Where you lead your army, how you're going to feed them, and give each one of them a home. The whole lot.

To accomplish your goal, you must rebuild your world from scratch using your army to help you. And to do that, you need to create your own set of troops to be your army. To inspire us, I have set templates for you. Your troops will receive armour in their respective colour. The weapons in this world are also limited. They are left behind by the remains of another Empire. You will give your new weapon a name. You will pick one of them up, and you will use them to your heart's content.

So, are you ready to take the world on? Let's go for it. Good luck, pulling through this post-apocalyptic land.

[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER=Sample Application]
Name: Ron Yim

Age: 406 (Appearance of a 20 year old)

Gender: Male

Race: Cyborg (Formerly human)

Appearance: Ron has black hair and scarred eyes, like they have no colour at all. While his torso and his right leg are pure blooded flesh, His right arm flesh is completely replaced with Gold Titanium, as well as his prosthetic leg, which replaced his entire left leg, his LED core, which is wired to the rest of his body, allows him to engage different types of support weapons. Because his heart was damaged at the time, it was replaced with a price to pay, his human left leg. He also sports a mechanical tiara which sends signals from his brain to his entire nervous system. He also sports a red monocle on his right eye to enhance his eyesight. as for clothing, he wears a tuxedo shirt, tie and tuxedo trousers, some of the clothing used to hide the scars when he had surgery on his heart and right arm.

Personality: Ron is the kind of person that is willing to help both sides, as he was a former freelancer for a living, working hard to keep both parties happy. Because of his defection from his original family when he was a human, his feelings have a habit of darkening at times, even when he doesn't realise it. Ron has been in the warzone as many times as he can remember, so he also has a habit of knowing what is right and what is wrong for his students. He is very secretive from people and not so talkative, however this changes when he plucks up the courage to face the world head on and start his army, whether it was accepting tasks to travel around timelines, or accepting tasks to run small errands.

Chosen Mentor: N/A, this character is already a mentor.

Troops' Outfit Colour: N/A, this character is already a mentor.

Your Chosen Weapon Type: Mentors aren't allowed to pick a weapon, though they will use all of them occasionally. Ron however has an original weapon, Dual-Layered Spinning Blades.

[SPOILER=Weapon Details]
Name: Quo Vadis

Appearance: Dual-layered circular blades that can be split into two, 4 foot in length, 5 foot wide and the colours resemble that of a worn out meteor. The weapon also have eight blades in the centre with four of them sticking out. His weapon also have 24 circular saw blades floating around the outside to give the maximum amount of damage, whilst spinning at 24 mph. Speak of the coincidence. It can also transform into a great blade, by dismantling the saw blades around the outside, detaching the two layers and place them on top of each other, with the top layer closing in. The bottom blade forms a great blade handle during the transformation process straight after. Quo Vadis has two designs: The original and the flat design. The flat design is more simplistic but equally as powerful. Both designs can be attached to Ron's back, but it is more effective when using the flat design It has dragoon particles rather than saw blades so that would allow him to fire from a long distance. In the original design, his eight blades become sixteen and form wings behind his back, dismantling every outer parts.

Background: The weapon is inspired by the weapon Spinning Pikes used in Dynasty Warriors 6 and 8:XL. The owner of that weapon being Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi respectively. Ron's version is completely redesigned to suit his taste and his current race, that being a cyborg. When the Quo Vadis is being thrown around, it has a hidden cord that lets the owner retract the weapon to his will. Quo Vadis' predecessors are: Nemesis, Nightmare Spinner, Omega Wheel, Devil's/Angel's Wings and Rotary Wheel, with the latter being the weakest version.

Weapon Element: Fire

Previous Owners: There are no previous owners prior to Ron. The ownership successor is still unknown as of now.

[SPOILER=Weapon Exclusive Abilities]
Deus Iratus - Summons a seal around the outside of Ron, and deal Fire damage to multiple enemies.

Via Dolorosa - Slam the weapon to the ground and create a fast-paced earthquake from a 1600 mile radius, causing heavy damage to multiple enemies.

Ventus Ire - Sends out gusts of wind to the enemy, causing huge damage.

Lux Magnus - Ron flies in the air, spins his blade around and shoots off eight beam particles around enemies.

Flagro Maximus - Summons meteorites from mid air and plummets the enemy.

Nexus Ultimus - Traps surrounding opponents into nothingness and slices them one by one, multiple times, for one minute. Then, Quo Vadis' great blade form is released for the finishing blow. This deals lethal damage, guaranteeing death.
[/SPOILER]
[/SPOILER]

Biography: Born long ago, Ron lived with his mother, father and two brothers. He started out as the 10th Generation member, the penultimate generation before defection from the family, but not before mentioning the fact he was a failed graduate in University and leading himself to the fact he is also married to his old friend Chloe, the one he had tried hard to repair his relationship with. The pair also had three children at the time. When he defected from his old family group, he starts a new one, called the Yim Empire and raises his members to become as vigilant as he was in his old days, which was part of the reason he becomes a mentor now in this post-apocalyptic land. He is also an epileptic prior to the role play as well as the character who suffers from autism, though none of those negative ailments affected him, however when his late son died, he didn't take the death lightly and started to darken his personality, seeking revenge on his old family for the crimes they committed on him. When Ron himself supposedly died, he was checked on to see if he was still alive, though no reports are revealed saying so. When he found out he was being buried alive, most of his body began malfunctioning, so he was taken away, had his left leg amputated and his heart removed as payment for his right arm to be replaced with Golden Titanium, the material used to replace his body parts. This matches his Immortal Cyborg suit which is partly fitted with future technologies. Within the next year, his left leg was completely replaced with a prosthetic one, complete with titanium as part of his suit and a device fitted where his heart used to be. Now, as mentioned before, he becomes a mentor to the people left in the estranged apocalyptic world, giving advice to them on how to make a living.

Name: Arthur Styrne

Age: 36

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance: Pale-skinned with charcoal-black hair, Arthur wears a set of light carbon fibre armour underneath a set of rangers’ leather armour and hooded cloak. He has dark blue eyes and scars on his cheeks. He wears bracers on his arms that have been painted black which reach from his hands to his elbows. His leather quiver is also painted black but has a red outline around the edges. It is carried at the hip and contains thirty bodkin arrows at any one time.  He carries the bow in a holster on his left shoulder. His eyes and arms have been enhanced by implants to improve his accuracy at long distance.  His cloak is worn at the bottom and his leather armour is covered in marks left by various weapons. The carbon fibre is visible in parts, and his skin is discernibly covered in dark bruises reminiscent of constant and vigorous training.

Personality: Arthur is a rugged and sincere man with minor paranoia. Nonetheless, he will often help where he can with reconnaissance, often preferring to mix with his troops than sit alone and look over maps. However, he is sometimes quite paranoid of strangers and will stick to the shadows until he gets a good enough impression of the person to meet them. He is no stranger to warfare; he prefers forest ambushes and concise strategy above all else upon the field of battle. He is relatively social with his troops during his resting times as he often joins them for drinks, choosing to share his food with them. When it comes to someone angering him, he will be pitiless and unyielding in his swift judgement. He does not show this side often as it would take something extreme to cause it. As such his troops remain loyal when he requires it.

Chosen Mentor: Ron Yim

Troops' Outfit Colour: Black

Your Chosen Weapon Type: Longbow

[spoiler=Details]

Name: Hiberna Bellum

Appearance: A yew longbow that has been stained black with intricate carvings that resemble the roots of a tree. The ends of the limbs are lengthened and augmented with folded steel blades on each side. The holster itself is black leather with a light blue outline around the edges. The bodkin arrows are made from steel and yew, and are also stained black. The quiver is of the same design as the holster with the same colours. The handguard is made from leather and is left as its natural colour.

Background: This bow was carved a decade before current events by a master bowyer in the city he was staying in. It was given to him by the man who saved him along with his armour. It is consistently used in ambush warfare in heavily forested areas and melee attacks on the ground. It has been maintained well for many years and cleaned after every battle.

Element: Frost

Previous Owners: None.

Exclusive Abilities

Umbra Aeterni: A cloud of darkness covers his tracks for a limited amount of time.

Venator Ritum: The blades on his bow extend out while he fights with this ability.

[/spoiler]

Biography: Born to a family of hunters, Arthur took up the bow at a very early age and practiced the art of hunting when he was older. His father taught him how to use the bow efficiently and quickly enough to kill. The rest of the family aided him in concealment and subterfuge, teaching him well enough for him to become a moving shadow. They taught him to be silent when needed and gave him several animal calls to use should he ever need them. After a man-made forest fire destroyed their home they moved into a naturally formed cave where he was taught to live off of the land. It was during this time that he fashioned his first bow, made with oak and guarded with black leather. He and his father kept the family fed until his father was mauled by a bear. After this the family moved closer to a small town with a blacksmith, in which Arthur was taught to smith his own arrows and a shortsword. The blade was left with his family and in turn his skill with the bow was extraordinary. When his family were killed in a snowstorm, he was found at the edge of the forest and brought to the city. There he was re-outfitted with the armour he wears today, and was given a custom-made bow to match his needs. He was also given accuracy implants in both his arms and eyes. With a supply of food he returned to the forest for several years, being watched by the very man who saved him. In time he was called back and given a small regiment of people to train into rangers to defend the areas outside the city. This lasted near a decade and had soon picked up several officers who had displayed great skill in training. In the present day he has very little officers left and no troops to train, so he returned to hunting for a few weeks and emerged from the outer ruins of the forest, never to return.

Character Quote:I am Death – the man you never hope to see, the shadow in the trees. I am darkness.

Theme Tune: Two Steps from Hell - To Glory

Name: Moderatus la Fey
 
Age: 25
 
Gender: Male
 
Race: Human
 
[spoiler=Appearance]  Standing just over six feet tall, Moderatus is an imposing figure of a man to be sure.  His frame of course is remarkable for more than just its height, as his muscular build attests to a life spent fighting at close quarters.  The skin clinging to his muscles is fair, almost pale in some areas, and unevenly tanned across his arms and back.  Atop his head sits an unkempt mess of dark brown hair, often mistaken for being black from a distance or in situations where there is little light.  His face bears a firm jaw, gaunt cheeks, and the high cheekbones often associated with nobility.  As far as clothing is concerned, when on the battlefield or preparing to enter a fight he is typically seen wearing a heavy suit of full plate armor to provide him with protection against the majority of weapons he sees used in melee combat.  The metal of this armor has been treated in such a way that it is a dark purple in color, and the young man often wears a tabard of similar color with a two headed eagle embroidered in gold over his chest.[/spoiler]
 
[spoiler=Personality]  A driven and passionate young man, Moderatus is almost always seen with a wide smile on his face and a laugh ready at the slightest provocation.  He treats those that fight alongside him as equals, and leads his soldiers from the front where he can take the fullest advantage of his armor and combat skills.  Before engaging in violent conflict with a potential foe, he first tries to negotiate with them and turn them over to his side so that he might gain additional forces and begin to consolidate the necessary power to unite the whole of the world through conquest.  While his ultimate goal is, as previously stated, to conquer the world, he is often troubled by his lack of knowledge as to the identity of his father.  This being the case, he will often pursue any lead he can if it could bring him that knowledge.  In combat, he prefers to take a defensive approach and allow his enemy to strike first, before attacking with all the force he can muster in the opening provided once his foe has struck.[/spoiler]
 
Chosen Mentor: Ron Yim

Troops' Outfit Color: Purple and Gold
 
Chosen Weapon Type: Bastard Sword and Kite Shield
[spoiler=Details]
[spoiler=Bastard Sword]
Name: Unknown, called "Dracictus" by Moderatus

Appearance:  Characteristic of Bastard Swords, this weapon is nearly as large as a Great Sword and features a hilt which allows it to be gripped easily in one or two hands.  Moderatus' blade is unique in the gleaming black color of the blade and the golden color of the cross guard and rounded pommel at the base of the hilt.  Beyond that, the blade itself is engraved with the image of a Western Dragon which stands out in silver on either flat.
 
Background:  A weapon given to the young man by his mother nine years ago when he set out from his home with the goal of finding his father.  She claimed the sigil on it would lead him to the man who had sired him.  In all that time since, he has never been failed by this mighty blade.
 
Exclusive Abilities: 

-Impossible Sharpness:  The blade itself can never break or dull, and most lesser weapons are broken after suffering repeated strikes from it.  Furthermore, the weapon cares little for an enemy's immunities and will do damage to them regardless.

 

-Mystical set:  Unbeknownst to Moderatus, this blade has a sister somewhere else in the world that is almost identical to it.  Presumably, this blade would be held by the young man's father.

 

-Furious Cleave:  A single horizontal swing of the blade tears through the ranks of his enemies, sending all those who would oppose him to their deaths.

 

-The Coward's Blade:  Any wounds inflicted with this weapon heal incredibly slowly, and cannot be mended by magic.  Those who survive a duel with its master will thus often die of their wounds later on.

 

-Wrath of the Fallen:  As those allied with this blade's master fall in battle, the weapon consumes all the fear and anger they felt in their final moments, becoming more powerful as each soldier falls.

 

-Bane of Armies:  When wielded in two hands, the weapon can be slashed in a horizontal arc after its wielder takes a moment to charge it.  This slash produces a wave of crimson light which rushes out from the wielder and consumes all those in its path.  Sufficiently strong foes are likely to survive.

 

-Bane of Kings:  With a two-handed vertical strike, the wielder does immense damage to a single foe within reach.  Furthermore, this has a high chance of killing even the strongest of foes outright with those who survive being left crippled.[/spoiler]

 
[spoiler=Kite Shield]
Name:  Aquila Crest

Appearance:  Like all Kite Shields, this piece of protective gear has a wide, flat edge at the top and tapers down to a point at the bottom.  This upper edge is as wide across as its wielder's shoulders, while the lower point reaches down to the young man's thighs.  The edges of the shield are left unadorned, allowing the dull color of the steel from which it is made to show through, while the face of the shield has been treated so that the metal itself is a dark purple.  In the midst of this purple background, a two-headed eagle has been intricately engraved in gold.  This symbol has since become Moderatus' personal heraldry.

Background:  This finely crafted shield was first made for Moderatus four years ago, and was commissioned by the mayor of a city which the young warrior liberated from an occupying force.  It was offered as a replacement for Moderatus' original shield, which was broken in combat with the leader of that occupying force.  Since then, it has faithfully protected its wielder from the worst of harm.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

[spoiler=Biography]  Born to an unmarried woman by the name of Morgan la Fey, Moderatus grew up in obscurity well away from most of the more civilized areas left in the world.  For much of his young life, the most he knew of what civilization was left in the world came from the sleepy farming community near where his mother had moved them.  He got along well enough with the other kids in town, though the lack of his father in his life was often a subject for teasing.  Still, he learned along with most of the other children in a small school that had been set up by one of the older people living in the little town.  For a time he had a normal life, but things began to change around the time he turned eleven-years-old.  A stranger came into town in need of medical attention, and was taken in by the townspeople rather quickly.  Once he'd healed up, he managed to find a place in the town and settled in as a sort of handyman helping the people.  Of course this handyman was proven to be more than that when he intervened on Moderatus' behalf when he was losing a fight against a couple of older kids.  Seeing how the stranger fought, the young boy wanted to learn from him, and pestered the older man until he agreed to teach the boy.  From then on, Moderatus' afternoons were spent learning to fight with his bare hands and, once he turned thirteen, with a sword and shield.  This went on for five years, during which time Moderatus surpassed his teacher in skill and ability.  Of course, everything came to an end.  One day the town was discovered by a group of men wearing red armor, who claimed to be looking for a criminal that had been on the run.  Moderatus' teacher eventually came forward to give himself up, and was executed with the intention of saving the town.  Unfortunately, the commander of that force thought to make an example of the town that had harbored his prey and thus gave the order to kill everyone living there.  Our young hero refused to let that happen, and so he took up his teacher's sword and shield to fight against those that sought to destroy the only home he ever knew.  Things eventually ended with the young man facing the commander and killing him, with the small number of soldiers left alive surrendering once things were done.  He told them to leave, and for a time he tried to go back to his old life.  He didn't make it a week, as this newest interference of the outside world in his life tormented him, and made him think of where he had come from.  He wondered if his father was out there somewhere, wondered if he was associated with those men in red armor, and eventually he just had to know.  He told his mother he would be leaving, and after a tearful argument followed by an exchange of goodbyes, she gave him the sword that would serve him for the rest of his journey as he made his way away from home.  Since that day, he has gathered a small force of roughly forty warriors, and is currently preparing to embark on his new goal: conquering the world.[/spoiler]
