[OOC] The War of the Three

[thewizardguy]

So I've been reading through the IC, but with the immense amount of posts and large amount of characters, I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on beyond that a couple of demons are fighting Eos. Could someone please give me a short explanation as to the current situation? It would be greatly appreciated. Then I can try keeping track of events from this point forward.

@thewizardguy

@Lmpkio can fill you about it.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL Also, even if Artoria didn't, her bunny ears sense danger.

First look at this:

Battle Briefing

THE BATTLE OF KC-00032
^{Burning the Fuse of Warfare}

"Infused with the demonic might of the Leviathan, smelted in the hallowed forges of Alt Signia and now, processed by the most advanced Machina technology. It's no exaggeration to say that the resources obtained from Ruthria shaped, and were shaped by, the recent history of the Nexus' unending conflicts.

Now, the final chapter of their history is about to be written.

Will they finally find their ultimate use, or be destroyed and forgotten like everything in this world of eternal war?"

INTRO

BGM

After their successful acquisition of the Resources obtained at the Battle of Ruthria, the Machina—under the command of the High Queen Eos—built a completely new factory to process them.

In this factory a number of new and much more advanced weapons are being produced, including the newest series of combat vehicles known as Exosuits. As soon as they are ready to launch it's doubtful that the Machina will face easy defeats as the ones in their recent history.

Having received such news, the other factions took whatever action they could to stop the High Queen's plans.

The Angels built a fortress from which they can deploy their forces to face the Machina in their own territory. The Demons on the other hand, used their skill to influence and corrupt the Machina's own forces, building an army out of KC-00032's workforce.

Such a betrayal cannot be tolerated by those who follow the will of their High Queen. As such, any who oppose the defending forces, Angels, Demons, or even Machina themselves, will be considered hostile targets by the Machina forces.

OBJECTIVES

Simply put, this is a battle of elimination, the last force remaining on the battlefield shall be the ones claiming the victory.

EXTRA

— Given the fact that this battle shall take place in a metallurgic plant, there's a number of environmental hazards that can be used to one's advantage in battle. Pits of molten metal, compactors, grinders, acidic baths, laser cutters, high voltage cables, and much more.

— At any moment in the battle, characters from the Demon and Angel factions can call upon support from minor NPC forces. The Angel's army is specialized in healing and protection, except for their Valkyrie forces which tend to give an oomph to their attack power. The Demons are comprised of corrupted Machina that are better used in guerrilla tactics or as disposable "meat shields". The heaviest construction machines are useful for defensive purposes, though.

— The Machina count with the support of KC-00032 itself. The factory's arsenal of experimental weapons can give an edge to the Machina as long as they can keep control over it. Among the weapons there's a set of three functional prototype Exosuits, stored in the facility. These suits known as (α, β and γ) can be combined (as long as they remain operational), forming three different configurations: Form I (ranged attack power), Form II (melee attack power) and Form III (defense). Such a machine has power to face to face even the mightiest of the Heavens' or Hell's forces.

---

Basically, the battle is taking place by a Machina Foundry in which they are on the defensive against Hell and Heaven (they aren't working together however). So far, Heaven has mostly backed out of the fight, with the exception of their "commander" Ciel, who unleashed a certain powerful character to combat my character, Unit-T.

Meanwhile, Hell still has four characters left; Artoria, Mephilius (Mine), Henry, and Fran, with the first three in combat with Rayona's Mecha Maidens and Eos (Machina leader) in a boss fight. Fran is more on the supporting role, but is semi-included in the fight.

I recommend to wait this battle out, because it'll be finishing relatively soon (hopefully, unless Windel and Kol say otherwise and btw another new guy is also doing the same), but this is basically what's going on at the moment.

Anyway, so the gist of this battle is, the person who really needed a power up was definitely Eos. She really wasn't strong enough before, but with this new power, she should be able to at least hold her own in a fight.

In other words, I'm not gonna post until I calm down from my salt. Gonna be a while till I post.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lmpkio Yes please.

[Lmpkio]

Hmmmmm... it seems I really fucked up my initial sizing of current Unit-T.

I said that it's 10 meters high right? What I INITIALLY meant was 10 feet, but then again thinking about it now, I don't think it would work for even a tiny girl to pilot.

No need to change anything @Kol but yeah, I was thinking of something different and only now did I realize my error. Will keep it as is though, so fuck it.

@Lmpkio@floodtalon@Lucius Cypher

Just remembering you guys that can still post on your own, please. This battle is literally hanging on the decisions the Demon players make (Now that Ciel is the last Angel around) and I'd hate for it to drag into a halt and we have to declare the winner like on 2/3's of the battles before this one.

In other words, do your thing.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Indeed. My announcement above was meant to be, "Don't wait for me."

[Lucius Cypher]

Righto. Now that I know Endian is dead, I'll see about doing something about Fran.

[Lmpkio]

@KoL I wasn't waiting on anybody to post lol

[KoL]

Ok, just letting you all know that I've made a revision on my last post, clearing grammar errors and things that I just wrote wrong in first place. In addition to that, I added/modified a few lines of Taura's and Eos' dialogues (including a brief explanation of Taura's raison d'etre and two extra names on Eos' dialogue that'll only be meaningful for @TheWindel, unless someone is interested on learning more about Eos' full background).

All in all, everything is still the same, just more clear and with more Easter eggs for those who want to delve deeper in the distilled madness of these settings/characters backstories.

Alright, I posted a long one for Unit-T. I will still need to think about what can be done for Mephilia against Eos, even though I don't see much happening in the spirits of things...

Edit: Edited Unit-T's post to commandeer with its size of 10 meters and not the 10 foot version I thought it would be originally.

Edit 2: I actually added at the end that Unit-T reverted to being 10 feet due to the whole size manipulation thing and explained it briefly and how it affects Tina. However, prior to that, it was still 10 meters.

@Lmpkio
Thanks for the information, that helps a lot. I was having trouble figuring out what side Ciel was even on.

@The 42nd Gecko
Nuke it from orbit?

[Awesomoman64]

Hey everybody! Sorry about disappearing for, *looks at clock*, three week!? Oh man, that is not going to reflect well on my attendance record. Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that things have calmed down a lot since I took my hiatus. Still looking for a house and all that mess but it's gone from "no idea what I'm doing" to "some idea" So with all that said, I think I'm at a place where I'm ready to return!.. After I catch up on the IC. And get up to date on any changes we've made in the OOC... I may just be lurking and reading for a while but I'm definitely here at least.

Anyway, thanks again for being patient with me guys, I really appreciate it. I'll try not to vanish like that again. (Unless we do a magic show.)
