Code Geass - War For the Homeland

Robert, while playing with his new phone, was startled to a sitting position when the previously strict-looking man began to talk to him. The man, whom Robert was informed was named Sho, dispensed some advice that sincerely touched Robert. Ever since he had been assigned to this team, Robert has had serious doubts. There was no way in hell he was going to pass up the opportunity, but he was far from the best candidate. He had very little experience with piloting knightmares, and zero battlefield experience whatsoever. The thought that he would be selected to join an elite team... was alarming to say the least. Robert waited several seconds, thinking of an appropriate response.

"That means a lot, sir. If I may ask, who else have you selected-"

Before he could even finish his question, the door opened, revealing a woman of Asian descent, most likely Japanese. She entered the room before turning towards Sho and giving an emotionless, monotone greeting.

"General, Fuuka Shiomi has arrived as requested."

She gave a passing glance at Robert, who returned it. She was fairly short, with dark hair and grey eyes, as monotone as her voice. She carried herself with a professional atmosphere, walking heel-to-toe. She seemed far too menacing to have a conversation with, so Robert remained in silence, silently sketching the schematics from his phone into the small notebook he carried with him to pass the time. After what felt like hours, but was more likely minutes, the door opened again to reveal a women completely decked out in full uniform. Robert's heart skipped a beat.

'Lieutenant Maria Doroshenko, reporting for duty sir'.

This was the moment that Robert realized that whatever W-1 was, it wasn't just a game. Why else would they employ one of the biggest war criminals in the entire EU?! If Robert's concern showed, it dissipated quickly. After all, it is a good thing she is here, isn't it? That just meant Robert won't be on the receiving end of whatever she decided to throw Brtannias way. Besides, she has to be a good pilot if she was able to get here in the first place. As her eyes passed over Robert, he felt an incomprehensible chill run down his spine. He quickly returned to the sketching he was doing, which had devolved into creating cool drawings of mechas several minutes ago.

"Commander of W-1, Jack Blake reporting in for mission briefing sir."

Walking in now was the man who would lead the W-1 team. Jack Blake. Entering with him were two women and a man of Hispanic ethnicity, whom Robert had liked the moment he opened his mouth. Unlike the 'professionals', this 'Corporal Garcia' as ,Sho addressed him, seems alright. The two women walked to sit opposite of Robert, who immediately shut his journal, in which he had just finished drawing a giant robot with sunglasses. As he did so, however, Sho's words immediately stood out to Robert, who quickly announced his concerns as soon as Sho's overview was over.

"Not to doubt your orders, sir, but does that include me? I doubt that I am anywhere near as skilled in a knightmare as everyone else here, and I assumed I would be more of an engineer-"

Once more, the door reopened, revealing an incredibly muscular man who entered quickly entered the room.

"Corporal Fenrir Silber reporting for duty general and I apologize for tardiness sir."

The Evening Looms: Since All Has Risen [A War of Magic and Other Powers]

Kurt Plikat

Name:

Kurt Plikat

Age:

23

Gender:

Male

Race/Nationality:

White - German

Appearance:

Appearance

5'10, 170 lb, and very little fat. His eyes are blue, but appear green because of his yellow safety glasses, which he wears almost constantly. He has blonde hair, which rests on his head and flies wildly in the wind. He keeps it long, believing that women find it more attractive. He either wears his uniform, or t-shirts which display his muscles.

Personality:

Arrogant, womanizing, and show-off can all be used to describe Kurt. He has a collection of qualities that all blend down to that special kind of d-bag. He sees no problem with playing dirty, and will always boast about his achievements to the ladies. He has very few emotional ties, and as a result, can appear very uncaring and unmotivated to those who do not know him. Kurt personally does not drink, but is willing to take advantage of inebriated females who cross his path. He will never go out of his way for these women however, and will only court them if they show interest first. Kurt has a very traditional mindset, and doubts in the abilities of women unless he is shown what they are capable of. He has an obsessive attitude towards his glasses, wearing them even while inside, which only adds to how much of a douche he appears to be. Kurt holds those who compliment anything positive about him very closely, and has a very strong sense of morals, of which cheating is not a part. Kurt has an uncle, father, mother, and a brother, but they live outside of Mundin and he does not consider them family. Kurt does not enjoy hurting people emotionally, and refuses to touch women who are 'taken'. Finally, Kurt's best trait is his strong sense of justice, and his unwillingness to compromise his beliefs.

Underneath the layers of cockiness that Kurt sets up, lies a very fragile persona. Due to the molestation he experienced as a child, he has had severe self-image issues, which he disguises with intense exercising and a cocky attitude. He takes every insult personally, and has gone through multiple periods of anorexia. Coping with suicidal and self-harming thoughts at a young age, Kurt attempts to give the illusion that he has a perfect life (He has had very few, if any, thoughts of harming himself since joining the MDU). Additionally, his power caused several odd traits to manifest in Kurt, such as a fear of heights, feeling comfortable below sea level, and developing a penchant towards rock candy. Due to his poor upbringing, Kurt has a small degree of hoarding, and also is below average in terms of intellect.

Kurt loves puns, especially about rocks.

Abilities:

Geokinesis

Kurt is capable of moving rocky materials such as dirt, stone, cement, and concrete. He is capable of manipulating it as long as he is 'connected' to it (He would be able to move a boulder laying on the ground if he was on the ground, but would only be able to move a rock in the air if he touched it). Any piece of earth he is already moving, he can move for as long as he wishes, and does not need to be 'connected' to it while he moves it. He can change the shape, speed, and design of the earth he is manipulating. His range of manipulating earth he is already moving extends outwards to a 50-foot radius of himself. His control over earth is very precise, and he is able to create intricate sculpture out of stone with ease. Kurt can fire a single piece of earth that weighs 1 pound at bullet-like speed, with decent precision.

Unfortunately, his power has multiple limiters. Every time he wishes to manipulate earth, no matter what, he must be doing some somatic input. The amount of movement required to use his power is equal to or greater than a foot step, and must be maintained during the entirety of the manipulation. Additionally, his powers maximum weight that he can lift is 250lbs. He is able to change the shape and texture of earth weighing more than 250 pounds, but lifting it will result in migraines, nosebleeds, burst blood vessels, aneurysms, seizures, amnesia, comas, and eventually death. Kurt can only manipulate 5 objects at a time, and moving them too fast will make them impossible to redirect. Due to his 5 object limit, manipulating something like sand is impossible for Kurt, even though he can create it. Additionally, Kurt's power is directly affected by his emotional state: it will work at full power when he is confident or doing what he believes is right, but can be weakened to nearly half it's usual power if he is depressed or doing something he morally disagrees with. Finally, his power affects rock-like materials only, meaning no metal.

Biography:

Born and raised in the city of Dortmund, Kurt's childhood was spent in poverty. His father spent hours every day searching for a job, but with unemployment on the rise and a flailing economy, their was little a convicted criminal could do to support his family. His older bother was the provider, and they barely managed to scrap by with welfare and his abysmal paycheck. Due to this poor lifestyle, Kurt spent his time at the local lake, spending hours fishing with the old fishing rod he was gifted by an old neighbor. It was at the age of 6 when his father finally cracked, begging his brother,Kurt's uncle, to give them refuge while he searched for a job.

Kurt's uncle was kind enough to offer refuge, allowing Kurt's family to stay at his mansion in Essen. Kurt's brother, having been relieved of the duty of providing for a starving family, returned to school. His mother had stopped the secret draining of family funds that she ad been doing for years, feeling comfortable in the large house. Kurt's father now could spend even longer searching for a job, which would never come. Kurt was brutally molested and raped.

Kurt's uncle had initially started the deed on his fourth night there and, with a voice dripping in venom, told Kurt that he would remove his family from the premises immediately if Kurt said a single word. As a result, Kurt quickly became a shy, introverted boy, and began to hate himself. In order to provide even a mild sense of security, and with the absence of a lake, Kurt began to exercise in his free time, spending hours training his body. At the age of 7, he was stronger than most kids twice his age. This life style continued for another year, until Kurt had hit the age of 8. It was at this time Kurt had finally had it.

Kurt left for child services in the middle of the night and, with multiple pieces of evidence (including a recording), successfully sentenced his uncle to 50 years in prison. After doing so, he was sent away from his family due to neglect, with no one ever realizing that Kurt had hidden the abuse on purpose. He was sent to the newly discovered city of Mundin, and lived in an orphanage until 14, it was then that his powers to manipulate the earth had begun to show itself, generating his new status as an empowered. It was at this point that the military, having begun to realize the potential that the empowered possessed, offered to allow Kurt to join the Mundin Defense Unit (MDU). With little other options for an child with no connections, Kurt agreed to the terms, placing him in a particularly nice training academy. During this time, he quickly formed his cocky persona, in order to appear more important to the other students. Graduating 4 years later at the age of 18, Kurt immediately joined the MDU, preparing to flaunt the powers he was given.

5 years later, and Kurt is still living the life, and he is ready to finally show the world that no matter how hard it tries, it can't beat him down.

Relations

Ken Black: Kurt's closest friend. Ever since they met on a joint mission in the MDU, the two have been inseparable. Whenever Kurt is not hanging at home or work, he is probably out with Ken, whether out on the town, or just hanging out. Ken is arguably the closest and only friend that Kurt has and, as such, is the person that Kurt would go to first in an emergency. Kurt values his friendship with Ken over everything else and, despite his teasing, would do anything for Ken. The only thing that Kurt dislikes about Ken is his shyness, which Kurt is trying to remedy with babes and booze. The past 8 months that the two had shared were the happiest time in Kurt's life, and he wouldn't trade it for anything.
WIP

Other:

He works for the Mundin Defense Unit, and usually is assigned to help watch the Eastern wall.

Kurt, surprisingly enough, is an avid fisher, and enjoys spending his time in this manner, especially in the summer months.

Kurt dislikes drunks, muscular men, and married women. He hates Pedophiles, child abusers, and people who question his sexuality.

Kurt likes children (Not in that way), lifting weights, compliments, and puns. He loves women, fishing, and law enforcement.

As expected of someone with his abilities, Kurt has an irrational fear of heights. This only manifested itself after he got his powers.

Despite all of his efforts, Kurt is still a virgin, but will vehemently deny this fact, usually by listing off multiple fake names.

Kurt is incredibly frugal, and saves half of everything he earns in a safety deposit box.

Code Geass - War For the Homeland

@vancexentan
Sorry, just refreshed the page. Personally, I'm okay with it. It's a lot better than it was before, the character fills the CQC space that the party needs, and he has an acceptable backstory and motives. The only 'issue' I see is that his Knightmare has a little too many armaments, but that's just me being nit-picky, and it's not a problem if everyone else is okay with it.

Also, I'll post IC sometime tomorrow, around noonish.

From the Weakest Goblin To the Greatest God

Kishi walked with fake confidence as he led the other two goblins down the path. The rabbit corpse was missing a leg, which was currently being eaten by the goblin. Even if he didn't have an appetite at the moment, he needed all the strength he could get. The pathway the followed was all too familiar to Kishi; his fear had made the moment retain perfect clarity in his memories. Kishi finished his small meal, storing the bone in his loincloth, next to his rock. He slowed down slightly as they approached the area, when Kishi noticed the two wolves in the distance.

The mere sight of them caused Kishi's blood to boil, his vision briefly flaring red. He had to spend several seconds to resist the urge to simply jump on them. After all, running in without a plan was suicidal. He quickly looked around, taking in his surroundings. The pathway was a large path of beaten dirt, and blood littered the round everywhere. The two rabbit corpses were lying with the goblins, having been picked to the bone. Along the sides of the pathway were numerous bushes, allowing Kishi to quickly move behind them and motion for Zectoll and Lomen to do the same.

Trees were abundant in the area, and blocked a decent amount of sunlight from reaching the ground. Kishi did not take this in as significant, however; even if the light was blocked enough to prevent sight, the wolves most likely had much more acute senses. The corpses (The sight of which caused Kishi to become slightly nauseous) were in the center of the road and the bones that showed were covered in bite marks. A plan slowly awoke in Kishi's mind, but it was risky. It could leave him severely wounded, if not dead should it be performed without proper timing. Despite this, however, he decided to silently voice his plan to the goblins.

"Here is my plan: I will climb one of the trees and, once I am in position, you two will launch an attack from the back of the wolf furthest from my tree. As you do so, I will leap down onto the other wolf, skewering him to the ground."

"If either of you can think of something that doesn't have a good chance of breaking my legs, however, please tell me."

Despite saying the last part of his plan jokingly, the fear that had permeated him earlier was gone. In it's place, a cold vengeance washed over Kishi's being.

From the Weakest Goblin To the Greatest God

Numerous hours were spent, scouring the cave for just the appropriate stone. Kishi planned to build a similar structure for Xaal if he did not return by tomorrow, but the search compelled him to find the stone. He clutched his own stone in his hands, just as he found a stone, roughly half his height. The rock he had found weighed nearly as much as he did, and it too multiple hours to drag it back to his corner of the cavern. Just as he managed to pull it there, he quickly fell asleep, not even eating the rabbit he had caught that night.

It felt like he had just closed his eyes when Grandpa began to call all the goblins to him. Kishi rose groggily, slolwly limping his way towards the cave mouth. Standing before him, Grandpa and the other goblins were surrounding a rock with strange lettering. Despite never learning to read, Kishi knew what they meant.

Xaal had not returned last night.

The ramblings of Grandpa passed through Kishi's mind, not even registering properly. As soon as the speech was over, Kishi quickly turned and walked away. He wasn't going to stay there. Not when it was his fault that they died in the first place. If he wasn't such a coward, if he didn't run, maybe he could have saved them. Even if he couldn't, at least he wouldn't need to live with this guilt.

Kishi slowly made it back to his corner, leaning against the now useless rock. Tears threatened to erupt from his face, and he gripped his spear until his knuckles turned white. This wasn't right. He wasn't going to let them go. He was going to kill those damn monsters and, at the very least, get whatever was left of the two goblins. As he made this resolution, the weakest goblin in the cave... Walked up to him?

"Goblin Kishi, strongest of the cave. The one who has seen death with his own eyes. The one who has killed yet has not been killed. Show me what you have learned of life and death, for on this day, I ZECTOLL! will be your hunting party."

Kishi slowly began to get up, and faked a smile.

"Of course I will show you! However... I will decide where we go to hunt. After all, you have never been outside before right, Brother Zectoll? Here, this is yours now."

Kishi tossed the stone spear, the one that had never been used, towards the goblin.

Code Geass - War For the Homeland

Robert slowly eased himself into his hair, furrowing his brows and rubbing his temples. He slowly reached into his pocket, pulling out the small flip hone he had bought when he first arrived in Area 11. As he looked at it, he saw the time, and began to question if the others were going to show up before the official meeting time, just as he had (unfortunately) done. To keep the young man company, a stern-faced Eleven who Robert assumed to be his new boss, General Sho, sat furthest from the door, with closed eyes and folded arms. Robert slowly raised himself from the chair, and began to absentmindedly investigate the war room, pacing around it slowly. It was truly a formidable area; the walls were made of solid steel, the seats were fine leather, and the entire base... was a hollowed out mountain. This was the fact that had shocked Robert the most. Surely a feat such as that was an engineering marvel... It reminded him of the famous 'Mount Fuji'. That holy mountain was turned into a mining site, and it was all done for the most precious resource of all.

Sakuradite was the magic material which fueled... everything. Not literally, of course; only everything that mattered. The Knightmare frames, Britannia, the wars... All in the name of this miraculous resource. Sakuradite was the key he needed; it, and it alone, would be the thing that allowed him to further the Knightmare frame's technology. That brought him back to the topic at hand...

Why the hell was he chosen?

Sure, he had military training, and he was a decent researcher, but a scientist has no place in a terrorist organization... Oh well. He sure as hell wasn't going to question orders. After all, his brother was receiving a nice check every other week from Robert's work, so it was worth it. Robert leaned against one of the cool, solid walls and pulled out his flip phone. Apparently, this team consisted of the best the EU had to offer. He began to search through the small number of research notes he allowed on his phone to pass the time, waiting impatiently for the other members to arrive sometime soon.

Code Geass - War For the Homeland

Will post tomorrow, probably around 8-9 PM.
