Fae Nikia

Fae heard a knock on his door. As he drew himself away from his prize-possession, a sigh let itself lose from his jaws whilst his right hand opened the bolts and handle to see who'd be knocking at this time. Yet before the door was even open so much as to see who this individual, or group, was, the figure pushed through the door-way. Faran Ge'Cao, a somewhat mystical acquaintance to Fae. With a grin on his face, he would always barge inside as if they were best friends. Truth was, Fae was never really fond of the man. A magi with a strange personality, even for someone laying low he was odd.

The two had been in touch with one another since the downfall of the rebellion. Both of which the two fought in, they were now laying low in this town committing to the secret duties that the Thalburn Guardsmen were trying to root out. Whilst Fae had been on the sabotage and less-struggling frontal confrontations, especially with how his Magi ability worked, Faran was more of the straight on assault type of man. He was older than Fae, only by about 5 years, and was powerful with the ability he contained within his blood. In some areas, Fae feared the man. He was suspicious, and not always referring his actions to benefit the Rebellion he was a part of, as if he had moved onto new morals. Fae hoped dearly that he had not moved on...

"Fae, my friend...All set for your Big Night, I see?" Before he gave Fae the chance to reply after rudely invading his home as if it were his own, he continued in a huskering voice. "Lot of people coming in just to play at one small gig...Strange isn't it?" He was replied with a frown.

"It's not strange, y'know...This town is renown for the connections to the Musician's Union. We've been blessed with an honour like this..."

"Pfft...More like a blessing of boredom...Where's the extra living, you know? Go out and kill something like we used to back in the day...Maybe an old woman in a shack, just sitting and rotting away watching her cabbages grow forever..."

"You know very well that we do not do that...We sore an oath to maintain a worthy amount of peace with complete and utter reason, hence why we started this mess in the first place. And here we are, having you suggest we go defy the bloody o-" He was interrupted by a grinning Faran. He thought that it was just a one off experience, and that Fae was only reacting because he could. Truth was, he always was like this...Because Faran was an immoral imbecile.

"Shhh...You are so mellow-dramatic. Anyway...I'll let you go to your little Concert...Expect me to pop back if there are any problems...y'know that the amount of people freely coming into MiddleSeed makes me worried of who they might actually be."

And after that, he waltzed out of the door in the similar fashion to how he entered. After waiting in silence for the door to close, Fae let out a gigantic sigh of relief. Now he could tend to his precious tool in silence, with the sun nearing dusk. Once it would've gone over the horizon, the Concert will have started, and eight acts in, the MiddleSeed Triplet would've entered. The Triplet simply consisted of three local Cellists, Ronan Harrit, Rosalina Oslo and Fae Nikia. All at a similar skill level, they divided the parts up of who got what part evenly and fairly. But with only one song being allowed for the gig, there had to be a very difficult choice of what they were to play.

The three were good friends indeed. They knew a lot about one another, minus the fact that Fae was a half-blood Magi, or that his past recognition name of Vy' Na. It wasn't like he did not trust them or anything, but with the Militia occupying the village based on the concert, and the Sarkath Doctrine, there was too much of a risk if they knew. They didn't hate them or anything, Rosalina being a Human and Ronan being a Magi himself. Besides that, all he had to do was focus on his concert. Packing his cello into a rugged casing crafted by the local tailor, he set outside to trek towards the staging and performing area of the concert. He knew that Faran would not intrude him there. And he hoped that Faran would not do anything too stupid that could endanger himself, the Ty' Un rebellion or simply Fae himself. Hope never got him very far, anyway...

Air Resistance ~ Alternative WWII-Themed RP

I'll get to work on my CS just for a bit of assistance in a while.

Hopefully we can snatch up a few more bits of interest here and there.

Humans VS. Magic-Users (Ch.1:Beginnings)

I shall be working on another post very shortly.

Air Resistance ~ Alternative WWII-Themed RP

@EisenhornIn terms of an armament, something that the aircraft would have during those times. Take your note of the Supermarine Spitfire, it would more likely just be the regular quad-built in .303 (7.7mm) Browning Machine gun configuration, but very few had been fitted to use missiles. Ammunition storage may be raised, to drift away from total realism.

As for performance, I'd say almost no change to the airframe, shape or mechanisms, though I'd say the same for engine components and such. Colour can also be changed, based upon where the aircraft was sent from before the Fall of Europe (I.e. Africa, Europe, Asia etc). The standard customised insignias are also up for the taking.

For bombers, all of the above are the same, except with the difference of defence turrets. Within reason, the bubble, rear, front (etc) gunners can have a different configuration to what they might have usually been fitted with, based upon what you think is more useful to it.

Close Air Support/Fighter combinations, such as the Hawker Hurricane variants, can be fitted with rockets. Interestingly enough, there was a variant of the Hurricane that was also fitted with large Anti-Armour cannons as well as the Machine guns, which did jolt the craft around a bit.

If the new variation of aircraft, basically their own creation, then the same goes for all of the above. As long as it is usable, reasonable and reliable, them there shouldn't be any issues. Hope that helped!

Air Resistance ~ Alternative WWII-Themed RP

@EisenhornSo, do you have any questions or concerns about this? I'm hoping to get this to top standard in your, and others', preferences.

Air Resistance ~ Alternative WWII-Themed RP

@EisenhornOooh, well things like those are definitely available and I appreciate the interest!

WWII Piloting RP

Just a place to gather some extra interest, if I can, on this idea.

Plot

---

The year is 1944. The War should've ended a year after with the victory of the Allied nations against the Axis Powers. That's at least what they thought would happen. Instead, they fell far too quickly. In fact, so quickly that by 1942, the war in Europe had come to a standstill. The land was divided up by the occupational forces of the new Fascist German and Italian Empire. These two major super-powers had successfully turned the war around with the almost unthinkable invasion of the Great British soil, known as Operation: Rising Hawk. Not having the defence capabilities to what they were facing, the last remaining competitor on the Western Front had been abolished, giving the Axis a larger chance to focus more on the Eastern Front. The Japanese, meanwhile, ploughed ahead a massive scale operation to dig into the North American territory without any warning, backed up by reserve Italian and German forces.

Though the war in North America was not fully successful, it still going at this point in time, both America and Russia have been put up into a stalemate, being two of the last nations not defeated by the unnatural storm. Things are different. The push into Moscow was an utter success, as more and more forces were able to be concentrated on the seemingly only remaining oppositions. That was until now. Before Rising Hawk could be engaged, the British homeland had become a refuge for many of the remaining resistances from the other defeated countries. Poland, France, Belgium...Many European countries had been caught in the defence.

After appealing to other Global leaders in secrecy, many of the other countries not yet caught up in the full-blown havoc offered to assist their allies as much as they could, with garrisons of troops, squadrons of aircraft and fleets of naval vessels...But there was a single issue preventing this. Attempts to send small convoys out to these countries were unsuccessful, and many were sunk without even leaving the European waters. To try and combat this, the remaining resistances, alongside the British Royal Navy, assembled one of the largest two fleets that could be drawn out from the defence in order to break through Axis blockades. Their target, first, was Australia, who promised to give both ships and equipment to supply those of the other countries. Those who went aboard this fleet were the useful ones brought from the small resistances. Ships flourished with the different nations to form the now nicknamed European Fleet of Salvation.

Splitting into smaller fleets, the ships pressed on towards their target. They set sail with little time to spare, as by the time they were clear of British surrounding waters, Rising Hawk was initiated. Many of the ships were ordered to keep pressing on, though some threw themselves back into the distant mists of smoke. Those who remained pushed on-wards, eventually losing complete contact with their headquarters. To make things worse, more than three quarters of the ships sent out were sunk in two of the largest Naval encounters known to the War's time.

Now, left without guidance, and only a handful of equipment, this Vessel pressed onto Australia, whilst smaller convoys set out to gather those from other nations that promised to supply manpower. Not officially being an army, they were deemed a resistance towards the overlords of the Axis. And that is where the European Resistance was created, more specifically, The European Air Force...

Overview

---

Alright, so...This is the Alternative World War II-Era story that I decided to put forward. To be more specific, this is about the final hope for a seemingly lost cause, in this case Europe. As the Plot stated, this is about the survivors who made it to Australia, who've been posted there for roughly two years since the fall of Britain. Basically the size of maybe one or two nations' regular military capacities, if they were still standing, they are quite the force to reckon with. The E.R. consists of thousands upon thousands of British, French, Polish, etc, alongside volunteers from the Russian, and American/Canadian nations, have settled into the lesser combat units, creating an opposition for the forces of oppression.

Now, the main focus here is both Air, as indicated in the title, and Ground combat of the next step in the war. Following these two situations, there should be a tiny explanation about who these people of focus are. Both men and women of the European Air Force, though strictly speaking they are not confined to the specific role, these pilots, gunmen, ground crew and radio operators of the crumbling earth are placed into a specified group to enhance their skill in aerial combat. However, that does not mean that they are never pulled out of the cockpit, handed a rifle and told to participate in the ground support.

The Aircraft that they fly is spread from those famous to the old nations, as well as new and replicated ones from the nations that have not yet received the tidal wave known as the Axis Powers. The world is still, however, using the propellers to drive their aircraft forward, much like the Axis air forces. With less enemies to worry about, the success of their machinery has led to the development of ground based combat, meaning the time until Jet Engines are far from near. Aircraft like the Supermarine Spitfire, Dewoitine D520, Avro Lancaster, all were available at these times. There was a small number of aircraft imported from the Russian and American volunteers, but not enough were sent for full-blown squadrons of that aircraft alone.

The characters can be of the surviving nations (If there are any questions about the nationality, do swing up that question to myself), either gender and experience. Whether they were recruited based upon the downfall of Europe, or by being a part of the Surviving Fleet, they vary in all shapes, sizes, skill and status. There will be some freedom to set up missions of your own, as gradually the pilots and units on the ground will take ground back, metre by metre.

CS Template

This can be modified if need be, but as long as the necessary points, which should be easily identified, are in the character sheet. Apart from that, there is no restriction on changes being made to the structure or design of the sheet.

Rules

---

• Guild Rules - This is pretty self explanatory. Normal rules for the site, yadee-yadee-yadah.
• Vulnerability - Though we are not going for full-blown realism here, do keep in mind of what you can do as the character, including capabilities in combat, socialising and damage threshold.
• Character Limit - I'll be setting the limit for characters to two, if anyone wishes to make more than a single character. Anyone who has any preferences that exceed this limit will have to contact me beforehand.
• GM - Communication - I will admit, I am not the most amazing GM, let alone any good at it. I'll try to maintain as much contact with you as I can, but it will also require you to contact me through Private Messaging if anything is needed, or at least by showing me something I can see through quoting or messaging. This is not really a rule, but more of a reminder.
• Player Count - I don't really have any set player count here, and can go on like this with about two other people apart from myself. That means I don't have a maximum player count at the moment, though I don't typically expect that many people to be interested in this.
• Aircraft - Sticking to Propeller based flight, this gets rid of any advancements in rocket/jet propelled aircraft. That means you'll have to dig up aircraft that was currently in service around World War II. However, it is available, if you show me, to create your own aircraft within the limits, as long as it isn't over-the-top with its mechanics and functions.
• Interactions - Not all of this RP will be based around flying and fighting. I'm hoping for the story to also flesh out between the relationships between characters, whether they are positive or negative, to drive them onwards in different ways.
• Overall - Let's try to at least have some friendliness in the OOC. I'd rather not flesh it out into a brawl just because something isn't going the way the other wants. Either argue it out in Private Messaging, or raise the concerns to me privately, then the issue will be resolves as short as I can.

Humans VS. Magic-Users (Ch.1:Beginnings)

@Jin Of ManaMe and Mari are discussing a way to get the plot moving for multiple viewpoints, involving their task, and the gathering of a newfound resistance. It'll probably be a good few posts when things are set into scene during the Musician's Event.

Humans VS. Magic-Users (Ch.1:Beginnings)

Fae Nikia

It was a time for celebration, but also a time of preparation. Well...Now that it was repeated without context, you'd think it was entirely true. Yes, there was a very important event for MiddleSeed just around the corner, but there was also everything else outside of the bubble that was the town itself. The people did the best they could to block out the political downfalls of both their Kingdom and Outside regions. Places that were involving conflict and death, places that were falling apart just because one did not get along with another. They were very good at isolating themselves from reality.

But for now, there was something of great importance. As part of a much larger Musician's Union forged straight out of the old local Musician's Guild, the Concert of the Talof was afoot. MiddleSeed, much like many of the realm's settlements and cities, that inherited such a natural talent for the musical arts were amongst some of the more hoping of places. Annually, a selection process of voting would go through for these competing locations to gain the honour of hosting the concert in their own grounds. This year was big for MiddleSeed. This year, was their turn. Using materials from their richer quarry they owned the rights to, an open-air viewing and performance area was built in-between both the Village of MiddleSeed and the neighbouring Village of RiverSeed. It was a big time for them all, including those far from the settlement itself. The Concert was usually played to the Lords and Mistresses of the Cities alike, which attracted many musicians from all around. And from that, that brought Fae.

Now Fae, despite who he really was, was not the best of musicians. He could play well, he could play right...It was just his relation to some of the more mastered types. MiddleSeed was generally quite a peaceful settlement in the terms of the conflict, which made it easy for him to practice. It being under the Sarkath Doctrine, and with good protection and insurance from Thalburn's tyranny, it made it a risky task to raid. Though the King of Thalburn himself was not attending this concert, he had to allow it to take place on his 'Righteous Land'. Of course, with it only being within three days of now, the Village was filling up on the outskirts with small makeshift tents to accommodate for the performers. Well...There were only 35 of them performing. It usually went around through a different roster, meaning every Musician either with a minor partnership to the Union or relevance to them would get a chance to perform there. Even for a man who was used to the old recent years of violence and uprising...He still had time to play that sweet cello tune. Only a few more musicians were expected to turn up at this point, but that didn't bother Fae.

What did concern him, however, was that Thalburn were becoming more involved. He knew it. The streets had an extra garrison of Thalburn Militia, as if they were trying to segment off areas. Knowing the way they usually worked...Someone was getting pulled from public eye under suspicion. They always did it. And then, once gone, forever gone. This was the life MiddleSeed's secret refugees lived. The excitement of something regular, and the fear of the nearby foe that was right on their doorstep.
