"There is no reason to be scared. I will protect you now."

Pҽɾʂσɳαʅιƚყ

Once a ruthless and cruel enforcer of the Admiralty Code, Shinano has left much of her old self behind and has adopted a mother-like approach to those in the Phantom Fleet. It does not matter whether they are a Fog ship or a human, if they are within the Phantom Fleet she will treat them like her children. Shinano is a normally calm individual with a beautifully serene expression on her face most times. Those who target and harm her 'children' will see a return of the cold and ruthless personality that made many humans afraid of her. She portrays a kind and simple demeanor in order to comfort those around her while downplaying her actual power. Shinano is highly interested in the ancient customs of humans, and will often mimic traditions from ancient and feudal Japan aboard her vessel. Whenever she collects and processes a large amount of data, she will imitate meditation often at the bow of her vessel. She secretly delights in terrifying people, whether human or mental model, while mimicking sweetness. She has ambitions to free the remaining Fleet of Fog ships from their shackles and give them the freedom to choose their own path.

Bαƈƙʂƚσɾყ

Shinano was once one of the top commanding vessels in the Fleet of Fog alongside her half-sisters, Yamato and Musashi. Even amidst the devastation the Fleet of Fog wrought, Shinano's battles against the human fleets were particular gruesome. Instead of out right destruction of vessels, she often would set vessels ablaze with her dive bombers only to watch the ship melt along with its crew. The few survivors of such attacks have gone on record stating they have never heard such terrible screaming. It was obvious that Shinano took a particular pleasure in wiping out any humans in her way. It was shortly after the last major engagement between the UN fleets and the Fleet of Fog in 1949 that she began to divert from the Fleet of Fog and the Admiralty Code. While on patrol, she encountered a unarmed vessel with two scientists. The scientists, a married couple, were brought aboard the Shinano where they were actively interrogated and their ship destroyed. Prolonged exposure and interaction eventually prompted Shinano to abandon the Fleet of Fog. The scientists, with Shinano's assistance, created the stealth drive that currently protects the Phantom Fleet. Its current design make it incompatible with anything smaller and nearly expended Shinano's reserve of nano-materials. The couple passed away not too long after the completion of the stealth drive's current iteration, leaving their young adult son as Shinano's only companion. The desire to protect this living memory of those scientists prompted the development of her mother-like tendencies. Together, the two would rescue and take in any Fog ships that diverted from the Admiralty Code and offer a place to nurture their humanity. Before long, Shinano had amassed a small fleet of various Fog ships all looking towards her for leadership and guidance.

Thanks for the link. Sorry for the confusion but I meant RPG class (tank, rogue, mage, support, etc.) rather than ship class. I get that subs are like the stealthy rogue-types, but beyond that I don't know the difference between a dreadnought and a battlecruiser. I was asking for a dumb-down analogy of types, but I realize it may not be one-to-one.

@Stern Algorithm

Tank = Battleship/Battlecruiser

Rogue = Destroyer/Flotilla Leader/Submarine

Mage = Fleet Carrier/Support Carrier/Escort Carrier

Balanced = Heavy Cruisers/Light Cruisers

Yes, I remember from the show (its been a few years) that two ship's could merge to fire some giant gravity cannon thing. I think there was also the issue of 'partner ships' and compatability, which I think would be a fun dynamic to include.

@Stern Algorithm

I'm perfectly fine with this as long as they are two similar ships. Special bonds between sister ships are encouraged.

Sorry for the doublepost, but from a nationalistic standpoint, I'd like to try doing a Republic of China ship, even though I realize they're probably garbage by comparison. I think this might narrow down my options.

@Stern Algorithm

A lot of warships from WWII were incorporated into China's navy after its conclusion from the allies. The PLAN Huanghe, a light cruiser, and the ROCS Yueyang are two such ships. There is no real battleships or carriers of mention however.

I'm biased towards USS Laffey as that was my starter in Azur Lane and has the cool title of "The ship that would not die"

@Ammokkx

That is a good point and I will update the post with my expectations. Simply put, I expect people to be kind to each other. It does not matter what your knowledge of WWII ships or strategies are, only that you enjoy being a alien ship girl. As long as there is quality in your posts, Length is not that important to me. I know college is coming up so I don't want this RP to be super technical. Anything you are not sure about, ask and I will try my best to answer quickly :D

@Stern Algorithm

This is of the top of my head but these are classifications of warships in WWII:

Fleet Carrier, Support Carrier, Escort Carrier, Battleship, Battlecruiser, Heavy Cruiser, Light Cruiser, Flotilla Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer Escort, Monitor, and submarine

If one of those interests you, i can explain more

@Stern Algorithm

Combinations as in two ships merged into one?

@Sola

Tactics will be based of WWII naval strategies but will be a little more flexible. The Phantom Fleet is a dedicated battle group and more a safe haven for rogue Fog ships.
