The Darkness Descends (Fantasy Conquest RP)

So, I was thinking about snatching 54+56+57 from the NPC which resides there. I asked the GM via PM.

Though, before I do anything, I probably should read up a bit on all that has happened regarding those tiles. I would like to be able to say "Eh, it was me all along!", though that might be impossible as I don't know what has happened to it. So, let me just post this nation sheet here for all to read if they want while I try to update myself on the events of the world...

Mechanolia

NATION

Nation Name: Mechanolia

Chosen Colour for Nation: Red.

People of Importance:
The ten members of the Order. Note, they are all dwarves. It’s been so for time immemorial. They’re all old and grumbly, as far as personality goes.

Kalderur Tordud – The ancient Judge of the Order. He leads all meetings. While he has no specific area of power himself, it could be argued he has the most power of all the Order members.
Belden Drunarum – The representative of Construction. He’s the one who makes sure that things that are needed are built and that all construction matters are going smoothly.
Gegel Burgapal – The representative of Trade. He’s the one who makes sure that the entire population has the resources they need and that nothing goes wrong in resource exchange.
Thirbek Radadak – The representative of Foreign Matters. He’s the one who keeps tabs on what occurs around the world, making sure that Mechanolia stays informed and he also acts as their ambassador.
Maar Buralode – The representative of Law. He’s the one who’s mainly concerned when it comes to all the laws of the land, and believe me, there are a lot of them. Also when it comes to punishment and such.
Rasur Tharum – The representative of Engineering. There is a lot of machinery in Mechanolia. This one is the one who makes sure it is all working properly and developed smoothly.
Rak Garkafal – The representative of Finance. He’s the one that ensures that everything is within budget. Mechanolia is a rather rich country, but someone needs to take care of it all.
Zuth Falmal – The representative of Health. She’s the one who makes sure the country is taking care of itself, and has all the things that they all need to stay healthy.
Raru Reilode – The representative of Security. The one that is in charge of making sure that everything is safe WITHIN the country, taking care of police and beasts and the like.
Azras Burapal – The representative of Defense. The one that is in charge of making sure that everything is safe OUTSIDE the country, taking care of the entire military and such.

Anton Evald – The human representative of Mechanolia, and also a representative of the people. A very well-respected man, who the media loves to write about. The man most people would turn to for comfort.
Jonathan Roadan – A young, human mechanical genius who’s been acknowledged for his excellent mechanical ability that it was thought only dwarves could possess. He’s happy and proud of himself. He’ll be our eye from the public of Mechanolia, to learn how things are on a more relatable scale.

Nation History
Mechanolia arose deep underground. In the past, a populace of dwarves fled the invaders on the surface and hid deep under a mountain, sealing the way back out. Through their excellent know-how of machines, they were able to carve out mighty halls and build their new home. They found water, and they found fish in the water which was no doubt linked to the outside world and had the capability to make crops grow in the earthly caverns so their survival was assured. They lived in there, safe and sound, for millennia.

Their technology grew, their Order was founded, and the people became less and less afraid of what might await them outside. In a life-changing decision, the dwarves decided to break out to see the sun again. This was achieved, easily, but now the humans that had invaded long in the past had settled there. However, neither the humans nor the dwarves remembered their past, so the two races happily exchanged information with one another, humans sharing their experience with the above world and the dwarves sharing their technology. They became as conjoined very quickly.

A peaceful nation, the Order of Mechanolia ruled their nation with light hands that wanted to ensure that their public was at its happiest. Over the entire nation, mechanical constructs did all the heavy work, and as such the populace has grown lazy, spoiled, yet undeniably happy. To keep their nation safe, the Order constructed the strongest warriors to keep them safe on land, the strongest ships to keep them safe on the sea and the strongest dirigibles to keep them safe in the air. Walkers on land, Ironclads at sea and Interceptors in the air. All driven by machines. And so far, it has worked. The people feel no fear.

… But the Order does. They have spoiled their populace happy, and they fear changing this. No dwarf or human in the nation expects ever to be in danger. The nation of Mechanolia doesn’t even have any method of conscripting regular citizens, they expect this all to be done by machinery. No emergency troop procedures. The only thing that exists is a plan to possibly evacuate back into the caves they lived in for so long. The Order fears for the future, having heard of the actions of other nations, and of these ‘shadows’, from distant lands… What will happen in the future? Will their extremely powerful machines be able to keep their nation safe? Will the populace be able to remain spoiled, forever and ever? Will Mechanolia be able to maintain their status quo?

Only time will tell.

MILITARY:

Army
-150 units of Mechanical Warriors (1500 warriors)
-50 units of Mechanical Walkers (50 walkers)

Navy
-50 units of Ironclads (50 ironclads)

Airforce
-60 units of Interceptors (60 interceptors)

Puella Magi: The Wild Hunt

Monika Sakovich

Name: Monika Sakovich

Age: Twelve years old.

Appearance:

Image

A tiny girl at 130 centimeters. She can be distinguished by her somewhat unenthusiastic eyes above a sweet little smile. She’s lithe, her body thin but capable. Her eyes are as brown as her hair, her short hair slightly rough. She generally likes to wear relatively casual clothes.

Her Soul Gem is a red little cross-shaped jewel, placed on that spot on her chest, binding her vest together.

Nationality: Polish, lives in Danzig

Personality: Monika is a somewhat introverted individual who easily gets uncomfortable if things aren’t precisely under her control. She can sometimes have difficulties speaking if she’s unsure what to do, and she can also be thoroughly cowardly and prioritizes her own safety rather than trying to be brave. However, from engaging in fiction she has gained a rather effective moral code and will force out determination to do the right thing in a crisis.

While she seeks safety in numbers, this is mainly because she’d feel unsafe by herself. Monika is young, and prone to getting quite attached to individuals, but she never quite puts absolute faith in anyone and only ever truly believes in herself. She won’t put her life in someone else’s hand, and if she feels unsafe she’ll scurry off very quickly. She likes stability, happiness and dependable-looking friends. But it has to be on her terms that she accepts it.

It was because there was a sincere lack of stability in her life at the time that she was approached by an Incubator. More on that in biography.

Monika likes to smile, so she often does. If she can chose things on her own terms, then she can get braver. But otherwise, she’d dearly like to just sink into the background. In the background she can be safe. That’s why she made the wish that she made, and that’s why her power became what it did. But of course, as any young one she can get excited in the presence of her usual sources of entertainment and would like to share these with anyone in her presence.

Afflictions:

Wish: “… Don’t let them find me!”

This wish was granted by Kyubei giving Monika her magical weapon and the power which it provided. For circumstances, read her biography.

Biography: Monika’s a young soul who has grown up with a rather successful family. While her mother (Krystyna Sakovich) is a housewife, her father (Marek Sakovich) works at a high place at Euroforce, a successful company that provides electricity to large parts of Europe. This means she was often singled out when she was young as the most fortunate soul around and the one you wanted to make friends with because her father helped her buy presents during birthdays and you could always expect luxury during sleepovers. Monika got really popular and didn’t really understand why for very long, as she isn’t the most social of humans.

The little girl entertained herself with drawing, reading, music, video games, allowing friends into her house or playing with her many toys. In physical practice she had tennis which she practiced often with her father in order to get some form of sport into her veins and dancing which her mother did sometimes for fun and allowed Monika to tag along. Through the training she got through this, Monika often surprised her friends with her physical fitness, since they never really saw her train. Though, Monika made few real attempts to make friends during practice. But she didn’t mind that, she grew up normally and everything was fine for her first eleven years.

However, as she grew up, there were several problems. Her friends had started to depend on her to help them out, but as Monika grew older and got more responsibilities she had to deny them. This combined with that Monika often was very blunt about if she didn’t want to go somewhere with her friends made her alienated, and she didn’t understand why. Her short attention-span and the fact that suddenly a lot fewer people helped her out meant that Monika’s grades in school suffered, which caused her rather strict father to suddenly chew her out. Monika was so confused.

Currently, Monika is struggling. Her friends have mostly excluded her from their activities and she’s too shy to actually move in and ask for their aid, she’s struggling with studies to keep her grades on level and she’s been hearing arguments between her parents and those around her. Some people have been saying that her father is corrupt in some way, something about him showed up in newspapers, and due to that Monika got even more attention of the wrong kind. But… she doesn’t understand it. She’s being stressed, and she doesn’t even know why. This stress… is what the local Incubator was attracted to.

Wouldn’t she want a little wish, maybe? A wish that could eliminate all the problems out of her life. But… wish? Monika heard about fighting witches, and realized this was her chance to become a hero like in the stories. But, if she had to pick a wish, she decided that she needed longer to decide for a suitable wish. However, walking to tennis practice that day, as if life itself had sensed her contact with the world of Magical Girls, Monika wandered into a Labyrinth. The Incubator told her to make a wish, or she’d die. Monika fled, behind walls and crying as the familiars of the Witch were seeking her out.

Now, something intelligent at this point would be to make a grand wish, the first thing you can think of which would aid humanity. Or, if you’re going to make a wish which is only to aid you in the immediate moment, at least make a wish which makes you strong enough to defeat the Witch. However, the one desire which flooded through the cowardly Monika, as she stared full of fear at the little white creature before her…

“… Don’t let them find me!”

Skills: She’s fairly athletic, but she was going to become that anyway. This due to being trained as a dancer and for tennis, as well. Other than that, her skills are few. Nobody expects much from a twelve year old. She’s somewhat eccentric at drawing or repeating a random fact from a fictional world she knows of.

Threads of Fate: 4. She’s at a rather common magical strength for a Magical Girl, though she can seem weaker because a large part of that is given to her magical ability.

Magical Weapon: A blue piece of cloth which at first glance appears to be the only thing she carries. It has a surprising amount of striking power, used in the same way you’d strike someone with the snap of a towel. In addition, Monika is gifted with considerable athletic prowess and can fight with the dance-moves she has learned from dancing with her mother, with kicks or with the cloth. However, the cloth is also hiding a potentially infinite amount of knives which would be her main method of attack, as a Magical Girl she has considerable skill at throwing or launching these with her cloth. Though, she doesn’t have the knives quite yet.

Experience: 1. She’s a complete newbie.

Magical Ability: The capability to “hide”. By sweeping the blue cloth which is her power over something, it can make it seemingly vanish, be it a person or an object. If she does it to herself, she becomes invisible from sight. While invisible she loses no capability of using her other powers, but it does constantly drain on her available magical power. Also, any noise she makes, smell she gives off, or item that somehow coincidentally headed her way will still reveal her location. She’ll likely use this to confuse enemies as to her location, but in exchange she’s weaker than the typical Magical Girl as her most dangerous weapon is a thrown knife.

The following is a thing that she can do but does not yet know that she can. Monika can make non-living things with a size no larger than her cloth become “hidden”, which makes them vanish from the world temporarily and accompany her. They then vanish and float along with her until she waves her cloth and the object becomes revealed. This can make it seem like she’s bringing impossible things to the battlefield, but she prefers knives. This is because Monika knows how to obtain knives. It’s the only weapons he knows she can obtain, by stealing them while “hiding”. To get anything stronger, she’d require a sponsor.

Signature and Finisher: None, yet. Probably will never have one.

██████: 12%. Account that this is how much it took to survive her first moment as a Magical Girl. It was quite a frightening experience, after all.

... Ah. You found it. I was kind of musing about if anyone would. I hesitated to pull attention to it since we're not done yet. But, yeah, the links are there, so someone going from the beginning looking for character sheets should find it and not have to seek out individual characters, was my thinking. Yepp.

DPRPGC #7: Hail the Glorious Leader

Oh, gosh. I became almost done before I even knew it. Wonder if I should extend it? Man, this is fun.

... That is, praising and writing down the epic deeds of the one and only great Glorious Leader is fun. Of course.

There is no doubt that this story about the glory of our lord will entertain the young ones for generations as well as educate them on the eternal grandeur that is our Glorious Leader.

...

Teh-heh.

DPRPGC #7: Hail the Glorious Leader

Oh, glorious leader. This humble author will pledge all of his capability for literacy to the creation of a work worthy of your wise and exceptional leader. Do expect a work which, while being incapable of fully measuring up to the size of your magnificent greatness, shall do its best to please your fantabulous tastes...

All hail the glorious leader

... Oh, wow. This... is an opportunity I cannot possibly let go. I'm going to enjoy the HELL out of this... *evil grin*

Frickin' brilliant job, resistance leaders. Frickin' brilliant. Now, since I cannot possibly resist doing the first thing that popped into my mind, I'll hope the same didn't pop into everyone else's minds. Hahaha.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Roleplay

If you're under 15, you get 1d2 more ToR; over 15 you get 1d2 more experience.

You may get extra despair depending on your bio.

@Cleopatra

Oooh. Alright. Then the experience will be accounted for by other people. Hm. Alright, then. Then I don't need to worry about it. I can stick with my 1. Heh.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Roleplay

Experience is out of 4(for the roll I'm doing). So the maximum you can get is 4; but if your character is older, they'll go above that.

@Cleopatra

Ah. Hm. ... Can I negotiate the terms of this, "older" variable? Perhaps with an increase in despair... Haha...

Actually, is it, like, you get a random experience, then add one per year old over 1X, or something?

Edit: *sees "Gaining more experience is harder if it's above your Threads of Fate."* ... Oh.
