"They are everything and nothing, the many-angled ones, unknowable, timeless, eternal. They inhabit the Abyss, the gulf between what's said and what's understood, the place from whence stems all human suffering. Mankind can only trace their jagged silhouette around the shadow they cast across the world, They are famine, conflict, genocide, they are now and forever amen... and they're coming your way."

Nice Little Quotes
“Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.”
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Yet human intelligence has another force, too: the sense of urgency that gives human smarts their drive. Perhaps our intelligence is not just ended by our mortality; to a great degree, it is our mortality.
-Adam Gopnik

Fighting for peace, is like fucking for chastity

Conscript Infantry Militia armed with state-owned firearms when possible and personal weaponry when guns run low, often precisely the same weapons used by local criminal gangs. Troop quality is unstable due to adaptation from tribal environment to modern ways of warfare.

And then there's the supreme leader bodyguard, highly trained and well equipped special forces used in the protection of important officials.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, a tooth for a tooth makes the dentures industry the largest in the world. Capitalism always profits for some reason.
The day everybody gets human rights is the day that there will be no more humans left.

Not bad. He needs a little more in the way of pouches, though.

Anyways, a Tsavonian fireteam, circa 1914 or so.

And, combat armor from the same era, with half-plating. (I really need to redo this one.)

I'm pretty sure (s)he took the templates from JG or the CYOE thread on F&NI and edited them in MSPaint or some other drawing program.

Swordsmanship is really the only way to go here. We don't use traditional swords though, we instead use our highly advanced technology to create a kind of sword called a Elevert. Elevert are created using technology that attracts something of a certain element to a specialized hilt, and concentrates it to the blade of a sword. Ex. If the hilt of an Elevert was attracted to the fire element, it would detect any particles in the air used to create fire, fuse them together, and line them all up into the shape of a sword. This happens in a matter of one to two seconds, and there are currently 13 different elements that can be used. Each element gives a different look and feel to the sword, so many people go through 5-6 elements before finding the one that suits them. Almost everyone in Helvagon has been trained with an Elevert, and it is the main weapon used by our army. In fact, it's really the only weapon used. Elevert are both very deadly swords and useful distractions. Because of the trail of elements left behind each swing, enemies not trained properly will easily get confused. The thirteenth brand of Elevert, the type that attracts gamma rays, are reserved for the 11 Karoms and the Grand Roher, as gamma rays are hard to control. According to a recent poll, the most common element in use today is the ice Elevert.

Our soldiers wear classic black hooded tunics. The color of their cloak tells their rank (going from lowest to highest)

Blue- footsoldier/volunteer
Dark red- Komann
Green-Jorod
White- Alming
Black- Isyl
Black with Silver trim- Karom
Purple- Grand Roher

Much like the Japanese samurai, we use symbols to tell people apart. The soldiers design a symbol before entering the initiation into the League of Elevert masters (the army's official name). The symbol they made is then stitched into the back of their cloak with silver thread, and the cloak is ceremoniously burned if they move up a rank.
Helvagon- A free place for all except daleks
Whenever I use the term IB, I mean intelligent being. As we have many species who live in Helvagon, it would be inconsiderate to say "people"

We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.

The Security Service are the closest thing we have to a military in Permosa, but in reality they're more like police. Typical SS members wear a dark blue uniform and a peaked cap. They have an armband which looks just like the flag of Permosa, warn on the upper-left arm, with the emblem facing outwards with the shoulders. A typical SS member carries a baton, pistol, handcuffs and pepper spray; specialist units carry other firearms such as SMGs, shotguns or even assault rifles, as well as stun or tear gas grenades; they may be equipped with body armour and an enclosed helmet, although they are still expected to wear their armband.
