I'm having way too much fun with my Legend of Zelda Encylopedia. This is the game that got me into roleplaying so have a lot invested in it's lore and stories. Too bad can't have all the games too.

After finding her spot the next one to arrive was Lieutenant Maria Doroshenko, a skilled pilot and tactician there was little doubt that she could prove an asset to their operations. According to her background information, Lieutenant Doroshenko was no alien to guerrilla war tactics which was what the Black Knights would have to resort to for the time being. Of course, this also meant that she was a crafty one and the fact that her family name was steeped in apparent treason put the lieutenant on Shiomi's high-risk watch list.

Shiomi made sure to return the woman's brief gaze with a poker face. She soon sat down after reporting to the general and that was that.

Next to come was Jack, commander of their new allies from W-1. He was a tall man who obviously looked after himself quite well. Due to his golden hair and green eyes it was impossible to miss him, especially among the mostly Japanese, Black Knights. The man was also an ace pilot so there was little doubt his skills would prove to be a great asset to their forces in the future. What really set him apart however was his past. Partially raised by Nagamasa Azai, a member of the JLF, Jack had ties to Japan which gave the man a great deal of credibility to his attempt at helping Japan win its freedom from the tyrant Britannia.

Of course Shiomi would still keep an eye on him, but in comparison to a lot of other EU members he was certainly on the more trustworthy side. Along with the commander was Amori and Garcia. Shiomi had deep respect for all that Amori had done and gone through, she was truly a tough woman. Garcia was loud to say the least, which was no doubt an understatement. Even though general Sho cut him off Garcia did not loose his tongue as he quickly picked a spot next to her and for some reason spoke a little French and compared her to a very poisonous arachnid; well admittedly the comparison kind of worked since she was a deadly assassin who wore black most of the time, though she certainly hadn't killed a mate of hers.

"Same." She responded bluntly, only giving the man the briefest of glances before focusing on General Sho and what he said.

"At ease all of you. Except Corporal Russo of course. We're waiting for finalized results from the information experts before proceeding with the next operation. Gods willing I will be sending all of you out today on a mission to destroy a Britannian Knightmare Shipment off the coast of the mainland. However I'm sure most of you know that already. I am having our officers double check to make sure that all of you are ready to risk you lives with a chance of return. I'd prefer not to waste my best, and finest out there."

So the next target had been acquired, that was good. It was even a Knightmare shipment so aside from destroying more Britannian property there was also the opportunity to procure more supplies for their forces. Of course such an operation would be risky so she found herself agreeing with General Sho's sentiments to only send those who were ready and had a high chance of survival, they needed to keep loses to a minimum at this stage.

Next to come was Fenrir Silber, one of the tallest men that Shiomi had ever seen in her life, at 6'4" he was literally over a foot taller than her. He was certainly a fighter and from what she read in reports was quite the close combat expert, which made her wonder how she would fair up in a fight against him. If she could keep her distance she could probably take him down but up close and personal it would depend on her speed and finesse. Of course they were on the same side there was no need to test any combat theories.

The man, after reporting in, turned to Maria and Shiomi to say they appeared to be in good condition. He also correctly called her by her last name, which was not something many foreigner's remembered about Japanese culture so the man at least knew something. Shiomi gave the smallest of nods before turning full attention to the meeting. At the moment there was no need for her to bring up anything.
Little busy at the moment but I'll try to hash out some more details soon.
Well I wasn't exactly sure at the time when I wrote it, but I think I'll go with a bit of a low-fantasy setting. There are fantastical creatures but in low quantities, magic exists but is rare and barely even seen in civilized society. I am leaning toward more of a high-medieval type period, perhaps even the beginnings of gunpowder use. Castle Grimm will have some ancient secrets that will pop up from time to time but for player characters most will probably have little to no knowledge of things deemed unnatural.
@Fenris123 Overall a lot better, there is now a much more plausible story given the context and a lot easier to follow as well. I think it's pretty much acceptable at this point now.

And yes, I'd appreciate it if you could try to correct any grammar mistakes when you see them. When I look over my past posts and spot a mistake I usually try to edit it on the spot least it get on my nerves. That said, I can deal with it more in other people's posts than my own.
Well...this character



The way everything is laid out is kind of...clunky for starters. Makes it sound like he betrayed Britannia because of the massacre but in reality he was already a traitor and spy a mere month prior. Why even bother saying "It is coincidence" about killing his commander then in the paragraph after explain that a month prior he was already working with the Black Knights? Not good to make character history so jumbled.

Frankly the character just sounds like a traitor who is also a bit of a coward. Don't get me wrong that can actually make for a pretty interesting character but its hard to see how the Black Knights would even think about trusting someone like that. Also the copy and paste bit is in bad taste and I agree with @vancexentan about that.

Also I would think someone like him would be used on the EU front rather than in Japan for starters, seems weird that he'd be over there in the first place. The character just really doesn't seem to fit all that well with the setting ya know?
Looking for more players!

Background

A long time ago there were two countries who had little contact with each other. The main reason for this was geography, the two countries were split by an impossibly large and hazardous mountain range, the Dragon Fang Mountains. There were ways around the mountain range but only through vast swaths of desert, making travel with any large group unsustainable. Despite all this the two countries eventually came into contact with each other thanks to some brave explorers that conquered the desert.

First contact was fine, but after a few years something happened, an incident. Both sides claim the other was responsible for the slaughter of each other's parties and the two countries went to war; however it was virtually impossible for either side to launch a successful assault against the other and so throughout generations really only minor skirmishes have broken out in the desert regions. This had the potential to all change when a secret path was discovered in the Dragon Fang Mountains. A direct route would finally allow them to go at total war with each other but after each side discovered this route they were faced with a unforeseen obstacle. Someone lived at the top of that secret path.

A great fortress of a castle, Castle Grimm stood as an impregnable bulwark against both armies, and equipped with it's own mountain spring there was no way to effectively siege or starve out the inhabitants. The castle is large, strong, and very dark with gargoyles peppering the outer walls as if to scoff at any who attempted to enter. This castle has caused a great deal of headache to both warring sides who want the castle for themselves so they can launch an invasion of their most hated foes.

A glimmer of hope for these bloodthirsty nations has come up when an envoy from Castle Grimm delivered a message to the respective camps. The lord of the castle has requested that the two sides pick their best representatives to enter the castle for negotiations. Little else was said but neither side willing to waste such an opportunity have quickly selected their best and brightest to enter the forbidding castle to see if they can achieve their heart's desire.

The Roleplay

The idea for the role play is these two sides will enter Castle Grimm where the current lord has decided to create a little proxy war to decide which army they will allow through the pass. The lord has twins whom both want the castle, so instead of having them fight it out themselves the lord has decided to use the two enemy countries to decide it for them. Each side will side with a twin and try to sabotage, bargain, and assassinate the other side until a victory can be declared.

Inside the castle will be a few 'safe zones' where both sides can interact without fear of being killed, such as the throne room and the mess hall. Otherwise, it is completely free game against the opponents where anything goes. Castle Grimm has quite a few deadly secrets of its own and of course the obvious question, did the castle lord invite them really to just fight a proxy war, or is there something else afoot?

Interest?

That's the bare bones of the idea, if enough interest appears I'll expand upon it and flesh out an actual world and deeper setting.
Shiomi Fuuka had been outside on patrol when the call had come in that her presence was needed in the war room. It was a cold day but she did not dislike the cold, if anything it often made the enemy less on point in the field. Of course she always had her own precautions to make sure the cold never disrupted her own abilities, gloves and heat pads made sure she always had full finger dexterity no matter the weather.

The Kyushu base was in no danger at the moment, her own patrol only picking up their own men and the occasional civilian eleven in the area. She headed inside the base and let the warmth spread over her extremities inside and out of the cold. She took off the dark cap she had been wearing for surveillance and did a quick check of all her hidden gear before proceeding down into the base.

"Pretty quiet out there ain't it Kage-hime?" A random Black Knight member piped up with a grin.

It was a nickname that had been given to her after some time in the Black Knights, due to the fact that she almost always wore dark clothing. Her usual outfit was a black, skin-tight special ops type suit with many compartments to hold her various weapons and gear, which was in fact the same outfit she was wearing right now. This outfit varied only slightly, such as when she had a dark cap on, or occasionally a black scarf, which she was actually still wearing even now. The black scarf was rarely used during important missions though.

Aside from usually wearing dark clothing, though when the situation called for it she dressed normally to blend in with crowds, her work did indeed make her a shadow. She was raised as a shadow and generally lived in the shadows where she could find and exploit the weak points in the Britannian military. Also, like a shadow she was quite good at disappearing whenever the enemy tried to put her in the light, or even friends. The princess part was just there to make it a 'female' shadow and apparently to make her seem cute. The cute part to the nickname was totally unnecessary as it totally didn't fit the description of a person who was willing to stick a blade in an enemy's neck without a second thought.

"Aside from the occasional loud-mouth Black Knight I would concur with that assessment. It is well that this location has not been sniffed out by Britannian dogs." With that said, Shiomi only gave the man a cursory glance before slipping down the corridor to head for the nearest flight down to the 5th level.




Shiomi made her way into the war room and with a single glance took everything in. The most prominent figure was of course general Sho, the savior of what remained after the Black Rebellion. Shiomi was grateful that such a respected and great person was the head of the current main Black Knights. Of course there were splinter groups such as the one Kallen currently was leading in a search for the traitorous Zero, but the real Black Knights now had a trustworthy leader.

General Sho seemed to be currently in a conversation with a certain Robert from the EU. Shiomi had made it her duty to know the names and faces of all from the EU so she could better keep an eye on them. Robert was more a technician than anything else but he certainly had his uses in and out of combat. Not wanting to interrupt to much she made her declaration of arrival brief.

"General, Fuuka Shiomi has arrived as requested." With a respectful salute to the General she then backed off and found a mat near the middle of the war room and sat down, so she would be able to observe as much as possible.

And here she is.


I think I'll just spruce up an old character sheet of mine, though considering some significant changes to the character. Also need to take into account the alternate history for this roleplay so quite a few things will need some tweaks.
