Current Noble Arms is now either four years old, or three years and eleven months. The third thread had lasted for more than one year.

My Roleplay, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, will reach its 4th year in June or July. It's been a long journey.

Despite its massive flaws, my RP, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, is still one of the longest ongoing RPs in RPGuild - It turns 4 years old in July and the current thread itself is more than a year old.

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

I am familiar with baby's first Shin Megami Tensei.

Well, I'm familiar with Persona 2 to 5. Never played the first. I'm also a huge fan of the main SMT series (And spinoffs like Persona, such as Devil Survivor, Devil Summoner, Digital Devil Saga, ect.)

I don't know about fully being a Co-Gm, as I've kind of gotten burnt out on it, but I can toss some input your way if you need it in the future.


Thanks! Here's the first post of another version of the RP I made on another site; it's largely obsolete, but some plot points are the same:


@Grnmachine, Accepted; PM me if you still wish to be Co-GM.

Also, familiarity with either the Persona Series or Neon Genesis Evangelion (I have not watched the latter) would help in running the RP's story arcs...
@Letter Bee the only things I kept Canon for this Luke are Dark Empire and the Thrawn Trilogy, because those were good.


Squee! That's acceptable.
@Raddum, Canon backstory can be posted in links, but Post-Canon backstory (how they joined the NMG/IoS) needs to be posted on the CS.
@Raddum, Cool; if they're not too overpowered, feel free to make CSes.
@mattmanganon, Accepted. Just so you know, stuff from the Star Wars New Canon will make an apperance; I dislike the Old EU.
The German Exile, Part Four, The Agriculturalist, Part Six

Ludwig von Seckendorff was pleased to accompany the Mobile Court as they made the rounds of rural villages, rural villages close to Opposition Leader Aurelia's holdings, and thus the first to have Archibald's 'electric windmills' installed. This time, the only thing out of place was his parade military uniform, which seemed more fit for a festival than actual travel. Not that it didn't prove surprisingly tough, all things considered. As he observed horse and water buffalo-driven wagons - and a few trucks - carrying the judges, lawyers, and guards that made up the Mobile Court, the German Exile thought: How delightfully Medieval, and yet effective.

The institution of the Mobile/Circuit Court was an old one dating from ancient times, where judges and lawyers moved around the kingdoms of Medieval Europe to bring justice directly to the people when they cannot afford to travel on their own. Considering the rural nature of most of the Philippines, Priscilla Aglipay-Rizal had revived the institution to meditate between the 'Local Courts' maintained by each village and community, and the 'Supreme Court' in the Capital, Manila. Another reason for the preference for mobile insitutions was because permanent courts in regional centers were seen as giving too much power to the cities. This in turn was true; another reason to regard Priscilla as foresighted.

"Foresighted except when assuming herself Cincinnatus," Ludwig talked to himself, frowning as the Mobile Court reached the border posts that marked the edges of Aurelia's estates; it was legal for them to cross over when there were court cases to resolve. He frowned as the convoy that made up the Mobile Court entered the plantations and farms, some of whom were growing Teff; the plant reminded him of his current business in accompanying the Mobile Court and going into Aurelia's territory.

He had an agriculturalist to see.

------

Ludwig and Archibald were in the former's private tent, a tough canvas model that clearly owed more to functionality than comfort. Archibald was back in his read peasant shirt and blue jeans, although he still wore a lab coat. His expression as he registered what the German Exile was saying was surprise.

"You want me to run for elections after Priscilla's resignation? After I just accepted Aurelia's offer of grants?" Archibald was troubled, shaking in a mixture of anger and guilt at even pondering the idea. Gratitude, no, indebtedness was an essential component of the Filipino character, and one does not betray their debts and backstab their benefactors. At the same time, this was mixed with an awareness that Aurelia, for all her benefactor-ing, could not just be allowed to do what she wanted with the Philippines' democracy.

Ludwig was nonplussed. "You love the humble farmer more than few others do except Priscilla. Your motives for accepting Aurelia's grants were so that you can afford to research things that make life better for said farmers. Or was that all a lie, Archie?" A thought. "Besides, as President, you can pass laws making it easier to fund agricultural science."

Now he had the Agriculturalist's interest, especially as the latter asked: "Who will back me?"

The German geologist's answer was, "Well, this Mobile Court here, then the Houist Party of the Philippines, and Priscilla's New Philippines Party, which still maintains a lot of loyalty. I can also call upon the Muslim Congress if needed; at worst, only a third of them will take your side. Plus, the small farmers of the Philippines love you for teaching them how to farm potatoes and sweet potatoes. And it's not as if Aurelia doesn't appreciate the value of dark horses..."

Archibald took Ludwig's hand at that. He was convinced.
