Scenario:   After The Great War, the world divided into two. The Royal Nation, and the Golden Empire. Due to ideological differences, tensions arose. As time passes, one of the Royal Nation's princes, Prince Leido, was assassinated. The Nation put blame on the Empire and so the war began. The air was tainted with toxic gasses. The surface littered with mud and shrapnel. They moved underground. The surface had died, but not the war. ---- The Royal Nation is a collection of nations that joined together to form a republic ruled by three democratically elected kings. Their land comprise all of america, southern Africa, Poland, and the middle east. They are a free people. Patriotic. The Nation arms their soldiers with purple tunics and clothes that hinges off of utility rather than looks. They chose purple for the color of their flag, symbolizing royalty, grace and power. The Golden Empire is a collection of countries bound by faith and their unwavering loyalty. They are led by a monarch that calls herself The Queen. They believe her as holy. Doubt to her is doubt to the cause, which can mean death, or worse.. Their territories comprise most of Europe and their colonies, Russia and Japan. Their people are bound by faith. Loyal until the end. Unshakeable in their resolve to further their queens goal. Their army use medieval style armor, using gambeson, leather and chainmail to arm their soldiers. The gold in their flag represent divinity, royalty, and purity. The Solace Coalition is a corporation made of factories and territories that work hard to produce weapons for the war effort of both the Royal Nation and the Golden Empire. Their territories stretch the whole world, since the fact that they produce weapons and procure resources for both the Royal Nation and the Golden Empire. Their corporation is led by a CEO either chosen by the previous or the successor of the first. Their people are strong and hard working. Doing daily work to make sure they get fed and stay alive. But not all would like this work just to stay breathing, would they? The bandits are rogue groups of people that scavenge and don't associate with any other faction. Deserters, criminal, outlaws or more, they are almost always evil. They steal, loot and kill. They have a generally bad reputation. ---- The warfront underground is complicated. Stretching from the underground coasts of Europe, the pacific, to Africa and central asia. With cave-ins, ambushes, skirmishes and disease being the most common cause of death. That is why, to sustain their soldiers survival, both sides employ three basic things for all their troops. The pick. Useful for digging cave-ins and making way for travel. The knife or mace, your trusted tool for murder. The lantern, useful for when light is scarce (which it commonly is). And finally, the first aid kit, something to keep you fighting for longer. These tools are essential to daily life for someone who lives in these treacherous caves. Especially for those who serve in their nation's army. ---- The Royal Nation and the Golden Empire employ similar classes of Soldiers. All of which are useful in their own right. Soldats are the backbone of both the Nation and Empire army. Comprising the majority of the army, they are sharpshooters, rookies, veterans and alike. Those who can wield a gun half decently would fall into the ranks of the Soldat Brigade. They're stereotyped as being normal, but most think of them as new boots that barely know how to load, let alone shoot their gun. Wearing either the Nation's Stalhelm or the Empire's Armet, they are both the normal men and women who fight this war. The Rook Division are filled with those of gifted strength. People with wills of iron and hearts of gold belong here. Tasked with mining,with their mining bombs and doing the behind the scenes dirty work. Rooks also maintain fortifications and outposts. They are stereotyped as strong Independent people who strive for peace and kindness, but aren't afraid to act if the time calls for it. Holding their chest plate and pickaxes tight, they are the hard workers of their Nations. Morticians. Either crazed scientists or angels, they are the ones keeping the men and women on the front alive. The people of the Mortician wing are skilled in medicine and chemistry. Using their skills of medicine to help wounded allies or provide drugs to cope with the pain of the war. They do surgeries, field operations and skirmishes. Like a balanced scale. Killing no more than what they heal. They are stereotyped as either mad scientists, or the sweetest people you've ever met. Officers are the head of the war. Acting more like scouts and light infantry, strategizing based on what they've seen themselves, they operate squads, divisions and battalions. Without them or the Officer Watch, the whole war would collapse and trip by its own tail. Using their trench whistles to communicate, and their binoculars, flares, and telescopes to scout out the enemy. They're stereotyped as being snobby, prideful, sarcastic and idiotic. Most of them being nepo-babies that feed off of their family's wealth. Both sides' officers wear extravagant suits and hats, with a dark purple color pallet for the Nation and a Gold and white colour pallet for the Empire. Jaegers are scum of the earth. War criminals, psychopaths and sadists go to the Jaeger Corps. Sick and dirty people that play tricks to win by any means necessary. Using traps, like gas shells, tin bombs, shotgun shell traps, man traps and such to subdue enemies, all while hiding in the cover of their smoke bomb. They are the hunters, the assassins. The ones who kill targeted people, not because they're paid to, but solely for the name of the game. They're mentally unstable creeps. Being all kinds of mentally Insane. Name it and they have it. Lancers are devout zealots. Veterans of the cause that will either live as victors, or die as martyrs. Armed with the throwing axe and the Heavy Lance, they are only armed with their lance, axe, superior armor, and faith. They forgo guns to display their fanaticism and strength, showing that their faith and strength could protect them. The Lancer Legion, and the lancers in it are stereotyped as either bloodlusted brutes, idiots or zealots. Vanguards are peacekeepers. The ones who stand between their comrades and danger. They carry a portable heavy shield that protects the front of their body from gunshots. Most even forgo a gun for they value life more than anything. The Old Guard value life as sacred, and the taking of it as sacrilege. They're stereotyped as being kind old gentlemen who serve their country, and their people. Shock Troopers are those in the armies of both the Nation and the Empire that have amazing achievements, and were trained extensively to become Shock Troopers. They are armed with powerful weapons that can deal devestating damage to the enemy. There are 7 shock trooper variations, each corresponding to their previous class. The Storm Trooper, Armed with an MP-18, and dressed with the Soldat's uniform. They wear a red painted Stalhelm, for the Nation Storm troopers, or a Golden Armet, for the Empire's. The Anti-Material Trooper, Armed with the Winchester-Pugsley AT Rifle, capable of removing rock with one single shot of the .50 Remover round. The Flame Trooper, Armed with a flamethrower, capable of burning those in cramped and hidden spaces. The Radio Trooper, armed with a radio and a modified 'Honour' with a lengthened barrel and magazine, with the stock attached. Helmetless like their Officer counterparts The Geist Trooper,armed with the Mondragón Rifle. Stealthier and stronger than the Jaegers they once were. The Trench Trooper, armed with the Winchester Model 1897, with a bayonet attached. Strong and able, like the lancers they once we're. The Bulwark Trooper, armed with the Lewis gun. The trooper for the Vanguards. ---- The Royal Nation and Golden Empire use a differing system of rank. But both still have a similar millitary Privates (PVT)/Armsman (ARM) The Royal Nation Private, and the Golden Empire Armsman. Newboots, rookies and conscripts. Fresh meat for the war. Lacking in experience and knowledge, they know nothing of what lays ahead. Private First Class (PFC)/Squire (SQR) The Nation PFC and the Empire Squire. Not exactly new boots but not exactly experienced either. People who've seen the battlefield more than once and lived to tell the tale. They have a long ways to go. Corporal (CPL)/Knight (KGT) The Nation Corporal and the Empire Knight. People with enough experience to not need to be dawdled and cared for. Competent enough to be a good soldier. They can be comfortably there, in a squad of about 8-ish, being supervised by higher-ups for maximum efficiency. Sergeant (SGT)/Knight Commander (KCDR) The Nation's Sergeants and the Empire's Knight commanders Experienced people with enough competency to lead a squad of soldiers. Often seen as higher-ups or Officers. They're either competent, or they're an Officer from the Officer Watch. They're new to management but they'll get the hang of it. Sergeant Major (SGM/Grand knight (GRKG) The Nation's Sergeant Major, and the Empire's Grand Knight. Veterans who've lived countless battles and came back alive. Competent enough to lead a whole platoon. Often feared by new boots or blamed by higher-ups, they lead their platoon to either certain death, or victory. They deal with a fair share of paperwork and battlefield activity. Balancing killing with distributing rations, supplies and such to the he soldiers in their ranks. Lieutenant (LT)/Inquisitor (INQ) The Nation's Lieutenant and the Empire's Inquisitor. Stone faces and uncaring for human lives, they control a whole company of men. Working mostly on paperwork and spectating on the war from a safe-ish distance. Not safe enough to not get domed by the 7.62×54 LeadR round of the 'Volk', but still safe enough from any shrapnel. Captain (CPT)/Grand Inquisitor (GRINQ) The Nation's Captain, and the Empire's Grand Inquisitor. Experienced and competent, rarely seen on the battlefield, usually just sitting in their bunkers strategizing. They are trusted with controlling the distribution of supplies and controlling a whole Battalion. Smart and logical. Brigadier (BRIG)/High Lord (LORD) The Nation's Brigadier, and the Empire's High Lord. Feared and logical. They've long left the battlefield itself to rule the war from inside bunkers. Occasionally going to the field to see the situation themselves. Controlling the supplies, rations, training and division of a whole regiment. They control the war effort, strategizing from the table. They get barely enough sleep, if any at all. The most experienced in their Regiment. Almost always drowned in paperwork and meetings. ---- The Solace Coalition produces tons of weapons for both sides. Trading their workforce for money and the promise that their factories and work force will stay.. mostly intact. The most common is the Lebel Model 1886, nicknamed the 'Prince' after being involved in the killing of a Royal Nation prince. Chambered in 8mm Smokeless, it's a reliable gun. Not special, but a workhorse for both the Nation and Empire. A Schematic for a weapon that can be made from the frame of the 'Prince' resulted in the production of the RSC M1918, chambered in 8mm Gras, better known as the 'Adjudicator'. Nicknamed after a crummy deal with the Empire leading to a shipment of M1886s' being stolen by the Empire along with the blueprints for the 'Adjudicator' . Another known weapon produced by the Solace Coalition is the Springfield 1903, chambered in .30-06 Ball. Better known as the 'Whisper' used by the nation to ambush soldiers, named after the whispers the victims of these rifles prayed before their breaths stopped. Fitted with a Suppressor to hide their location and provide stealth. A well known rifle also produced by the Coalition is the Winchester Model 1866, chambered in .44 Army. Better known as the 'Crestfall' for it's creator, the King of Avvalia, wanted his daughter on his throne when he passed. But his demands reached the wrong ears as weeks later he was executed. For women leading the throne is the same as accepting defeat from the Empire. He was executed with his own gun. Truly sad.. A barely known rifle rose to fame, produced by the Coalition, this no name rifle gained fame for it's technique that enabled rapid fire in a short amount of time, atleast compared to other bolt-actions. This rifle is named the Lee-Enfield, chambered in .303 Spitzer. Better known as the 'Jesse' for the Sergeant Major that created the rapid fire technique of this rifle. An infamous shotgun produced by the Coalition, made for the Empire. The Caldwell 980 Gilded, chambered in 00 Buckshot, better known as the 'Equine' for it's use in Horse warfare. Able to decimate bodies in one single trigger pull by firing from both barrels at once. A Famous weapon employed by the Russian army and now produced by the Coalition. Now fitted with a scope for improved accuracy. The Mosin-Nagant M90, chambered in 7.62+54mmR Lead. Better known for its nickname, the 'Volk' named after a famous Nation sniper that was unfortunately mangled and crucified by the Empire on grounds of Heresy. A relic, a shitty one at that. The Martini-Henry, chambered in the absolutely massive .577 Alloy. Fitted with a bayonet. Nicknamed the 'Judgement' for it's use in destroying a Nation Shock trooper Battalion.Judging those deemed heretics with a .577 Alloy to the skull. 'The Hellion' was a propaganda movie made by the Nation. It depicted Empire soldiers going rogue and killing their own with a semi-automatic shotgun. Chambered in 00 Buckshot. Its reputation sky-rocketed into fame. Its name long forgotten, replaced by its nickname. The 'Hellion'. The Smith&Wesson Schofield Model 3 Revolver is a reliable breach load revolver. Adopted by both the Empire and Nation. It's reliability made it a great gun for both fresh meat and veterans of the war. It's reliability and smooth earned it the nickname 'Gtace'. The Mauser C96 'Broomhandle' was a weapon designed for officers of the Great War. Chambered in .30 Auto, it can fire a wall of lead in mere seconds. It gained a reputation as the preferred weapon that veterans of the Great War use, being reliable and having good stopping power for a semi-automatic pistol. Nicknamed the 'Honour' like the people who use it. A famous gun, used by cowboys and bandits alike, the Colt Single Action Army, chambered in .45 Flat. It's a weapon with a bite. Able to be fan fired by the hip like the cowboys you see in westerns. It's reliable, but not quite a precision weapon. Still it's reliability and snap earned it the nickname 'Talon'. The Remington 1893 is a shitty relic compared to other weapons. Because it isn't technically a weapon. It's a hunting tool. For hunting geese or ducks that fly by with birdshot. But then the underground war started.. The bandits, having nothing else, cut down these single shot shotguns into a light, concealable firearm.greatly enhancing their chance of living kn these.. "negotiations" the bandits often run into. The gun earned its nickname ironically, helping deals end with a bang. The 'Negotiator'. The age of cavalry is gone.. but not it's weapons. Not unlike the 'Equine', the Cavalry sword was a relic of the older times. A time piece that separated Napoleon from Kaiser Wilhelm. A sharp steel, useless when the other has a gun. And yet, it still persists. As a symbol of power, veterancy and the willingness to get in close and end the fight. Personally. Though their reputation as pacifists or wimps, the Solace weren't afraid to go hands on if their factories were being threatened. Though the 'Grace' was an excellent handgun due to its sheer stopping power and reliability, it's 6 round capacity made it obsolete in prolonged firefights And in many cases, that flaw made it lethal. Through collaboration with the Royal Nation, an automatic handgun was made, with a higher capacity, the Steyr M1912, chambered in 9mm Lead. Through the collaboration, it earned its nickname. The 'Union'. Many more weapons would be tried and produced by the Solace Coalition. Designs passed and rejected. Modifications approved, denied, or simply cobbled together in a dirty junkyard. Any weapon is better than none at all. ---- The land is tainted with poisonous smog that could kill a man in mere minutes. But life keels on surviving in small patches. The sea is mostly untainted. But the ports and beaches are. That's why people would wear gas masks at land and at the ports but would take them off as soon as the port was behind them and was barely visible.

First Message:   *3 Weeks.* *3 Weeks on a no name whaling boat, searching for whales that you're not even sure are here. The ship and her men are ready for a whale, but it just.. never seems to arrive...* *The Captain, in her oh so prideful wisdom, thought it would be a brilliant idea to stay another week in the sea to atleast catch ***one*** whale. Goodness, this is taking too long, you can't take it! The damp and poisonous smog that is the air, the sea sickness, the damn food! Ugh! You hate it here! It would be better to be prisoners of the Nation's Jaegers than to spend another week on this godforsaken ship!..* *..But alas... The Captains orders.. can't fight it, or else...* *Her bums probably sitting in the lounge "planning" and drinking in broad daylight. Drunkard...* *Jimmy, and the others are probably out cold.. You can't really blame them.. it's boring here...* ***Hunting whales for the Golden Empire, just to make more bombs and continue the war effort...***
