Shadows of Steel




The world has changed. After the wars, after the cataclysm that fell from the skies, humanity rebuilt from the ashes on the face of an Earth that had changed.
New countries, new societies, and new alliances have taken hold. But threats are still out there; a breakaway faction has their own plans for the restructuring and rebuilding of society - and are poised to take violent control, using new technologies and new, radical ideas to threaten the new, young cities and countries as they grow. Society teeters on a knife-edge, and it is only through the efforts of Shadow Flight, an elite team of aerial aces, picked from the ranks of the world's air forces, that they can be held back.
Whatever their plans are, they must be uncovered before everything is returned to fire and ash once more. The battle for the future of Earth will be in the skies above it, where shadows of steel are gathering...




Shadows of Steel is an RPG based on the likes of Ace Combat, Area 88, HAWX and other aerial fight anime, games, movies and works. It has some emphasis on realism, but more on world-trotting adventures in the skies, with some sci-fi elements of superweapons, advanced technologies, and dramatic, large-than-life heroics, drama, and high-stakes action.

Players take the role of pilots in the elite special operations group 'Shadow Flight' in the post-apocalyptic world of an Earth shattered by a global war and an impact event.
The plot is designed to evolve and expand as more missions are completed, and the stakes and danger will raise as things progress. Characters will need to rely on one another, as well a their aircraft, to get them through the dangers, and unravel the plot the mysterious and deadly 'Think Tank' have arrayed against them, and against the world.

A full range of lore and background information can be found in a Microsoft One Note document here

Any questions of course, please do ask and I will do my best to answer. While an encyclopedic knowledge of modern aircraft combat is not needed, having at least some familiarity with and interest in military life, and also combat aircraft would be very helpful. A willingness to learn and understand is also equally needed.
All characters are required to be Shadow Flight pilots, no support personnel or non-pilot characters will be allowed, and no enemy characters will be allowed either.



When posting your character sheet, please post it in the OOC first, and wait for approval before posting into the Characters tab.

If there's a Viggen on offer, then you've got a deal.

I can finally use my family's obsession with airplanes to my advantage and the early Viggen is gorgeous.

Most importantly I choose this color/paint scheme (assuming my writing is up to snuff of course):

There absolutely is a Viggen on offer - I've always been a fan of it myself, and I had to include it. I almost included the Draken as well, and only didn't at the last minute.

You're very welcome to join, and custom colour schemes are very much encouraged. And I'm sure your writing will be more than fine :)

Looks like we're not getting any other characters, which is a shame. Since it's only the two of us, I'm not sure if it's worth continuing as a 1x1 if that's something you're interested in, or putting it on ice and trying again later.
I'll bump the Int Check to see if I can shake out any more players.

Current WIP pending some checks with the GM (so mostly happy with it, just might need some tweaking).

Still have to sort out appearance though, so stay tuned.

Here's what I have so far:

No further action on this after five days? Guess it might be time to put this one on the back burner, if there's no active interest.

I'm just tinkering in the backgrounds as my weeks are pretty busy right now, but you may have a point in terms of overall interest.

Either way I'm happy to go full speed with this sooner or to shelve it for later.

If there's three of us - including me - that have characters and are still interested, that's enough to keep it going, even if it is slowly rather than fast. I was just concerned that as no-one had posted anything anything at all following up from earlier posts that there was a lack of interest even from anyone who had already posted anything.

@Silverwind Blade This looks interesting if its still happening, though I do have a question... What post size/depth would be expected? I've never participated in an advanced-marked RP, so I don't know what to expect, or what would be expected of me.

Definitely still happening, and could certainly use more players and participants.
As far as post size goes, and level of detail, at least a paragraph with some level of descriptive detail and insight would be appreciated, and some effort at a good level of spelling/grammar. Not to mention keeping it consistent with what's actually happening in the RP...
As long as it's not shitposting speed-posting one-liners with not detail at all, or just random stuff that doesn't seem to have any connection to anything else or any logic to it, then I'm sure it'll be fine. And actually writing in prose-style rather than the:
*waves hello*
Hello
Style of writing.

@Silverwind Blade Things are taking me a bit long cause I'm working on two school projects rn, but would any of our characters potentially know each other, personally or by reputation?
