Noble Arms: The ASEAN War (Interest Check Two)
Seven decades ago, the Computer Scientist Alan Turing invented an 'Occult Programming Language' that made magic real. The most common form that 'magic' took was the Noble Arm, which was the ability to conjure up a supernatural weapon that can defy the laws of physics, a weapon bound to the user’s mind and soul; summoned by their will into reality. For reasons that are still unexplainable despite years of research, Noble Arms only take the form of weapons from before the First World War, however, despite the antiquity of these forms, the power they bear to the battlefield is unlike anything modern technology has been able to produce.
It is now 2022, and the world is both different and similar to how History should have gone. Trying to redress its humiliation in this world's 1988, China launched an invasion of Southeast Asia, forcing the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to attempt a collective defense. Now the Spratly Islands are a battlefield as ASEAN sends its best Arms Masters to bolster a group of allies, the Qing Restoration Society (QRS) whose goals are to replace the Communist Government of China with a Democratic Constitutional Monarchy (or at least, that's what they say!). Now, the QRS have taken the largest Chinese base in the area, but are reliant on outside help to withstand their enemies' counterattacks.
But behind the scenes, greater intrigues continue as not only has it been proven that Alan Turing is still alive, and has mysterious goals involving the Occult Programming Language he used to create Noble Arms, but various Arms Masters on the Chinese side wish to restart the most notorious terrorist organization in this Alternate History - The Hammer of Masters, long-thought crushed by the Seven Virtues and Paragons of Science, organizations with their own secrets and objectives.
For now, though, your objectives, in this conflict, are to survive, then win. Can you do that?

This is an interest check for an ongoing RP, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, which is in its second mission and third story arc, where the OCs are trying to drive the Chinese Navy out of the Spratly Islands with Indonesian and Vietnamese help, sending supplies to help a dubious group of rebels, the Qing Restoration Society, survive a Chinese Blockade.
You can find the Lore in the Noble Arms Lore Thread and the Character Sheet Skeleton in the The OOC Thread. The OOC Thread also has copies of the parts of the lore relevant to actually playing the game.
