Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to a bit of an old rebooted RP scenario. Here, @wolverbells and I are hoping to bring a different adaptation to the former's original many years back, providing a bit of an open-ended placement for characters, stories and involvement within a greater story, all whilst manifesting your own individual storylines between it all. It's worth mentioning right from the beginning that this is not related to the canonical storyline or presentation of Attack on Titan, meaning that there will be some large differences, changes to timelines, potential alterations to the lore and situation. In saying that, it shouldn't deviate too strongly from its source material, of course. The Western Siege scenario is a semi-open territorial reclamation tale of horror, death and struggle all in the face of a ruthless, unspeakable threat that lurks both outside and within the safety of humanity's impassable defences. What follows is the collapse of stability, a surge of violence and the forthcoming of Death's subordinates. Take up the ranks of Humanity's skilled, though outmatched, military and attempt to bring peace at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives. Be on the frontlines, hold the rear guard and maintain the little hope mankind has for the future as the battle for survival comes right to the Western doorstep.

There is one major thing that any interested players will have to discuss and express preference towards: what starting situation should we begin with? As of yet, the two that make the most sense are from within the starting days of the Trainee Corps or jumping straight into the first days of regular military service amongst one of the three branches. Note - all three branches are acceptable in this story. Though it runs the risk of potentially spreading yourselves too thin on paper, our ability to cast our own missions and not be driven entirely by a GM's set rules of engagement means a plethora of scenarios can open up between the Survey Corps, Stationary Guard or Military Police. This plays into the semi-openness of the RP, where missions can be forged by the players themselves at many points of the story. At times, there may be a limit to player-curated missions in order to advance a much larger, overarching storyline. This will mainly focus on the tide of Humanity's downfall or comeback in relation to what people have decided to do through their character's actions. Whether they go out on expeditions as the Survey Corps, defend high valued targets with the Stationary Guard or pursue deserting soldiers and fanatics under the banner of the Military Police, there is a lot of room for general experimentation.

Another point I really want to stress is that this isn't a story of main characters becoming the centrifugal point to all that exists in this world. This is a story about humanity's struggle, not just your character's struggle. That being said, that doesn't restrict you from partaking in major events at all, I just wanted to highlight how everything won't revolve around who we play and how powerful they'll be or become. Speaking of characters, the aim is also to have just as much of a focus on out-of-combat interactions, character developments, side plots and relationship arcs as you see fit. I'd love to see how your characters change overtime, whether they begin confident and descend into madness, grow into inspiring figures amongst their allies or simply blend into the crowd as an unnamed body taking part in the greatest struggle since the Titans first appeared. There will be chances to go on long operations, ones that take you outside of the walls and into the vast plains and fields in-between the districts. All whilst this is going on, your characters will be able to interact, build upon and work alongside, or against, other players and any NPCs you see fit.

Personally, I'm hopeful to bring out the horror and futility of the situation through these characters, though the situation itself isn't futile unless we deem it. Characters will have to go through a lot to garner the best results and the reclamation of primarily the Western regions of Walls Rose, Maria and Sheena. There are chances to go to the other regions, such as the more infamous southern regions and unseen northern and eastern respectively. Alongside this, locations designed for your characters stories and missions are going to be acceptable within reason, adding an extra layer of freedom to how those missions take place.

As far as things go for now, there won't be any inclusion of shifters, more so player-based, and if they become a part of the story it will be further down the line. All things considered, I hope the idea itself appeals to you and that if you are interested, do feel free to drop any suggestions, thoughts and ideas below! I'll work on the OOC as soon as we get some interest and then we can use our extensively growing free time to bring this to life! Thanks for reading and don't be afraid to ask any questions that you might have!

I don't like salt. It's coarse, rough and I put it all on my food.

But yeah, I've been itching for a Somnium reboot/successor since Kuro refused to do it. I am glad for my memes not to be dreams.

Definitely a successor, I don't wanna just go "YOINK" and take the old RPs. So this one will likely function a tad bit differently in terms of how it starts. One major point to discuss before I make the OOC is whether we start in the Trainee Corps or begin straight in the Branches of the Military as newly graduates.

"oh no titans lets run" is kind of played out as an introduction scene, anyway.

Trainee corps is probably the best way to start things. Gives character development that we would otherwise miss out on.

I expected that this would be the more popular choice. I'm happy to work with it after all, gives us a familiar and almost nostalgic take back to the past.

I mean, I still have Grant's character sheet saved in preparation for a complete redux

I'm tempted to remake a new character from the ground up, which is always a fun idea.
