You have lived your entire life here, and so have your parents. Whether mundane or unusual, fulfilling or monotonous, for the most part your life is a peaceful one. Until the day the sirens blare and for once it is not a drill, and that life is interrupted by destruction and blood. You may remember death, monsters, a knife in your hands and boiling in your veins. Or you may remember nothing at all. But when you next wake, it is in an unfamiliar classroom with a group of strangers around your age. A strange being stands at the head of the class to inform you of your new obligation: you are a transfer student now attending [b]Last Defense Academy[/b], and you have been conscripted to fight a war on which the survival of all humanity hinges. You will spend the next one hundred days becoming familiar with your new school, bonding with the other students that together form your [b]Special Defense Unit[/b], and most importantly developing your combat potential in order to slaughter the monsters that will come to kill you. Your comfort is secondary to your education, and your life is a renewable resource to be given over to the war machine. Every morning a cheerful announcement plays over the speakers in the building, always reminding you of your mission:[/color] [indent][/indent] [center][i]Prepare to spend another day enduring the unendurable, and suffering the insufferable to pave the way for humanity's future greatness! Be ready to give your lives to protect our beloved school from the vile and barbaric enemy![/i][sup][h3]☺[/h3][/sup][/center] [hr] It's me, ya girl Yankee, pitching an RP that might be a little niche. Before anyone stops reading due to this being a fandom RP they may not be familiar with, let me just get the premise out there: [b]this is part anime ass battles and part academy slice of life, with a militaristic veneer and science-fantasy bend.[/b] You do not need to know the source to play. In fact, it's probably better if you don't! You play members of a Special Defense Unit tasked with protecting the last hope of humanity. Pretty much everything surrounding this mission (what this last hope is, who you are protecting it from, why you were chosen, etc.) is kept secret from the characters - it is up to them if they accept without question or try to uncover the answers in whatever way they see fit. These characters wield a power called [color=crimson][b]Hemoanima[/b][/color] that allows them to manifest weapons with which to fight, and which can grow in strength over the course of the story. Oh, but you can't neglect your studies even while you're busy fighting a war! There will be periods of down time where characters are expected to attend pre-recorded lectures, pass tests, and get to know your brothers in arms/fellow students. If you're interested, I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have. All I would want from you is a fun character concept to start with. Your character can be as plain or weird as you want, from run of the mill background student A to junior professional wrestler. Rich, poor, friendly, aloof... as long as you'll have fun writing their personality as they grapple with their new reality. Characters can be as open or as stand offish as you want; inter-group tension and fighting, even refusal to participate is expected, but lone wolves will be forced to fight eventually just like everyone else. They will also be forced to die, as those with Hemoanima can be revived in certain circumstances. Character death will not be just a possibility - it's a guarantee! Wake up, study, bond, fight, die - and then do it over and over again. [indent][/indent] This RP is intended to last for 100 in-character days, with each day broken up into sections to more easily push the story along. Ambitious, I know. Battles will occur periodically over this period which I expect will take more time. I am currently toying with a simple grid-based battlefield to give fight scenes more of a strategic feel rather than simply free form. Characters will have numerical HP to keep track of during battle, among other things. There is also a general plan in place for ending the RP early, extending it past its 100 day life, rebooting it entirely if the players want, and for late joiners to be able to participate. I also would not be opposed to people playing mulitple characters if they wanted to. A detailed character creation guide and example sheet will follow, as well as in-character daily schedule break down and an in-depth explanation of how I am thinking about handling combat (no dice rolling but there will be a simple [i]system[/i] of sorts in place) if people actually end up interested in this. For the record, in addition to acting as GM and playing story NPCs, I also plan to play a member of the SDU myself! [hr] [b]Further Information[/b] [color=crimson]Tokyo Residential Complex[/color] [lil blurb] [color=crimson]Hemoanima[/color] [lil blurb] [color=crimson]Last Defense Academy[/color] [lil blurb] [hider=For those familiar with the game]I intend to follow the general progression of Route 0 to make it easier on me to GM. However, there will be no canon characters included save for enemy commanders. Even Sirei will be replaced by a similar NPC to fill the role. Without the canon cast, certain events will play out differently or will not happen at all (including, well, what happens to Sirei in the first few days) - but for the most part you can expect things to follow Route 0's direction unless the cast gets really crazy with it. I plan to put more focus on the "academy" part of Last Defense Academy as well, but not to the detriment of Free Time or Defensive Battle sections. There may be spoilers from other routes regarding the setting, circumstances, etc. of the game though. Also... I wouldn't mind a Co-GM![/hider] [indent][/indent] [center][i][sub][color=gray]Prepare to spend another day enduring the unendurable, and suffering the insufferable to pave the way for humanity's future greatness!
