Fantasy and sci-fi thingy! Signups, Title TBA

[Deleted]

This RP is, in part, an excuse for really cool fight scenes.

With that out of the way...

The country of Kagayakuji, a verdant and lush landscape. A serene place for many years... until, ten years ago, when everything changed. A military organization from a neighboring country, known as Aegis, attacked. The attack was swift and vicious, an attempt to swiftly subjugate the people of Kagayakuji. While they faced a great deal of resistance, Aegis managed to conquer much of Kagayakuji very rapidly. Few free towns and cities remain.

But the people of Kagayakuji have yet to give up. A resistance runs throughout the country, employing assassins to strike at Aegis' leadership. The fighting has grown more intense, and more apparent as time has gone on. But Aegis still maintains a tight grip on a large portion of Kagayakuji.

The resistance's final goal is the death of General Vance Tsukada, the military dictator currently crushing the Aegis-held portion of Kagayakuji.

---

The setting is, obviously, the country of Kagayakuji. Aegis has a tight hold on much of the country, but the resistance to the Aegis regime holds a few cities and towns, and has a large amount of assets.

While you don't have to, I expect many characters to be of the sort who can take on people in futuristic power armor with nothing but a sword and win. The sorts who can cut bullets.

While the setting is fantasy-ish, magic is incredibly rare and is mostly in the form of magical items. There are airships, power armor, futuristic weapons, and even small mecha.

Aegis is fully playable, and features an elite force known as the Rotenritter, who are equipped with the best equipment availiable and have many privileges.

As for the rest of the setting, it's really a mashup of fantasy and sci-fi elements. A lot of the landscape is Ghibli Hills kind of stuff, while cities are incredibly anachronistic. And, um... airships and stuff. Mecha too, so, um, yeah.

Weapons are anything from swords to pistols to weird, futuristic guns. However, the only guns that are normally wielded are flintlocks and revolvers.

And, um... after that kind of scatterbrained explanation, um... here's the bios:

[Roxas]

Name: Andrea Ferrara

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance: If she could muster the courage, she'd call herself the Majestic Blade or something.

Personality:
Andrea... is probably the shyest person ever. Even so much as looking at her tends to make Andrea flustered. Naturally, this can make her difficult to converse with, unless you've happened to know her for a long time. Or mention swords. Andrea really likes swords. A lot.
Aside from that, she's quite a fan of justice, and hates seeing the weak being bullied. She will not hesitate to fight, and Andrea is not someone you want to be your enemy.

Brief History:
Not really someone particularly noteworthy, especially when Aegis is sucking up all the attention, but Andrea comes from a family of swordsmen, and she happened to be very gifted and quickly learned how to properly use any blade she held. So now she's using that skill against Aegis.

Skills:
-Extensive knowledge on all swords, as well as the skill to wield them effectively.
-Is surprisingly strong and swift, though her speed is rarely displayed, given the weight of her preferred blades.
-...She's not a bad singer, either. Just don't let on if you ever hear her.

Weapons/Equipment:
A Claymore she calls 'Heaven's Wrath', and a Zweihander she calls 'Rittermorder'. Dual Wielding is a tad impractical with these weapons, unfortunately.

Faction: Resistance.

• Name: Toramaru Tomoe
  
• Age: 17
  
• Gender: Female
  
• Appearance: "I will cut through Aegis, all the way to the heart."
  
• Personality: Tomoe is a serious individual. Though she is friendly and polite with others, certainly enough to form friendships, Tomoe becomes violent and incredibly focused when she is preforming her job. Once she is assigned to kill someone, she very, very rarely stops, regardless of the obstacles in her way. This is because she firmly believes that anyone she is told to kill deserves to be killed. It is very difficult to change her mind. Other enemies are unlikely to survive her missions, be they regular soldiers, power-armored troops, or even mecha. Outside of a fight, she tends to avoid large groups, though she won't push people away if they try to socialize with her and will usually remain friendly, polite, and talkative. However, if she is sad or deeply angry, she usually isolates herself from others and will push people away. She doesn't like Aegis. At all.
  
• Brief History: Tomoe was born in Kagayakuji, and was only seven when Aegis attacked. Her older brother vanished shortly after the attack, and she believes he is dead. While she did mourn her brother's apparent death, it inspired her to train to become someone who could destroy Aegis. This is what lead to her becoming an incredibly skilled assassin aligned with the Resistance.
  
• Skills: Tomoe is very, very fast, and incredibly skilled with her katana. She is capable of cutting bullets out of the air, and combating a large variety of enemies with a large amount of different weapons. She has no knowledge of how to pilot, or of how to use any weapons outside of her katana and knives.
  
• Weapons/Equipment: Tomoe wears no armor, her clothing consisting entirely of kimono. She wields a katana, as well as several knives hidden in the folds of her kimono in case she is disarmed. She also carries a very basic emergency first aid kit.
  
• Faction: Resistance(Technically just on the Resistance's payroll, though she doesn't care if she actually gets paid or not)

• Name: Nanami Nanami
  
• Age: 29
  
• Gender: Female
  
• Appearance: "A demonstration, your highness?"
  
• Personality: Nanami tends to only find joy in fighting nowadays, with the rest of her role relegated to trying to mediate the damage she has to inflict. Her loyalty is solely with the crown and, with any insurrection on her part certain to lead to their execution, she obeys her orders with the greatest reluctance. Due to the ongoing military campaigning and her own role, all other activities that she would rather engage in have been sidelined.
  
• Brief History: Created to provide Aegis' royal family with an elite bodyguard, Nanami was on a trip when the general seized control, and reluctantly accepted his command in order to provide the royal family with some measure of security: so long as she obeys, they live. Conversely, so long as they live, she obeys.
  
• Skills: Nanami is, in short, fast. Due to how little her bones and organs weigh, she can move tremendously quickly without even beginning to strain herself. The downside is that the force of her blows--especially with weaponry light enough to keep up with this--is negligible, and actually blocking attacks is out of the question. Her entire fighting style is based on the idea that finesse can overcome any amount of protection, enough scratches can take down even a giant, and that an enemy that can't keep track of you stands little chance of hitting you.
  Despite this, she's perfectly willing to accept injury: it takes an enormous amount of force to inflict more than a flesh wound on her, and she doesn't otherwise tire, so she can generally outlast most opponents.
  
• Weapons/Equipment: Her body. Nanami is, in fact, a mithril cyborg, explaining both her lightness and durability, along with the whole 'not tiring' thing (who cares about the build-up of lactic acid in your muscles if they're made of metal?) and two swords of the same: she's an expensive investment. The broadsword, though less effective for her chosen fighting style, has the bonus of heating on repeated impacts, meaning that she can steadily slice her way through mecha at an appreciable rate (due to attack speed).
  
• Faction: Rotenritter, commander.

• Name: Starfall Tyrant
  
• Age: 22
  
• Gender: Female
  
• Appearance: "Why do people keep looking at my legs..."
  
• Personality: Starfall has absolutely no idea why her last name makes people do a double-take. She also has absolutely no idea why everyone keeps staring at her clothing and body so much... isn't it rude to stare? In short, she's somewhat baffled by the culture she finds herself in, along with her own innocence.
  There's a dark side to the naivety, though: she has incredibly poor anger management, worsened further by her own desire to lose control in battles. She's a berserker, after all. Oddly, she's actually a very cheerful drunk.
  
• Brief History: Starfall was born in a distant village, one outside the direct purview of any government. She is, in short, a berserker that fell in with the Resistance entirely because some soldiers picked a fight with her.
  
• Skills: She's good with her spear, but that on its own isn't too notable, since she wouldn't really like to engage mecha with it and a large group of powered armour would make her think twice. Her real skill becomes apparent when she goes berserk: Starfall is one of the few people with access to magic. Regrettably, aside from parlour tricks, it only manifests when she loses control. Mostly it becomes apparent as rapid regeneration of injuries... and a tendency to drop meteors on anyone that tries to get away from melee range (when you don't have to worry about injuring yourself, it's amazing how much harder and faster you strike).
  Weapons/Equipment: That spear. Its' basically made from the heavier counterpart to mithril: strong and tough, but enormously heavy. Adamantium?
  
• Faction: Resistance.
