Alam Majapahit (FanT RP OOC, Interests, World-building)

[Altito Asmoro]

Navy, and maybe Majapahit strongly focusing on its navy to the point where it might neglecting other parts of the military, maybe make the army to be under-equipped, while the Navy get the best of the best. On the other hand, highly-trained marines is true and maybe Majapahit forms its own special forces based on its best candidates from the Marines exclusively, causing friction between Navy and the rest of the military.

Any other aspects I can help with, MIn? Sorry for answering now, I just went back from vacation with cousins.

It's okay. No problem, brother.

Well anyway, sounds like good idea. However, the friction part can be very challenging as both of us is aware. No good havin' the worst Interservice rivalry especially when at war so at least keep at the minimum. I guess that means we'll have a Navy-focused military with Elite Marine infantries with their own air-force corps, much like the Imperial Japanese Army or the British military. Except we have highly-trained marines cuz we have more islands to hold on than both of the forementioned countries.

As for the Majapahit Special Forces, they tend to be recruited from all branches or otherwise for manpower reasons, best of the best. It's a safe compromise to avoid the complications caused by the frictions.

Oh, you can help me with anything, Mas Altitio. :3

So, is there any questions you have in mind at the moment?

Any estimation date on the RP? I'm not pushing you, just asking, MIn.

Ah, ok. Hmmm, prolly not this month or next month either. With myself busying with other RPs, there's a likely a high chance I might not do the IC this year. So, maybe six more months.

By the way, Mas Altito, did you have your characters in mind planned for this RP?

Oh ya, for a reminder, there'll be significantly less Western names for Indonesians in this RP cuz Majapahit Stronk~.

I forgot one thing, are we making nation RP, or character RP?

If this is character RP, I'll probably making a Majapahit character, or someone foreign.

Lol. Well, I do plan Majapahit!Stronk RP as more on character RP. We're just doin' world-building in order to make this RP worked.

Oh, I have my own characters in mind. You'd prolly don't remember them but some of them will show up from Wolf's old Steel and Spell before it died.

For Majapahit's capital city, where it should be located especially in modern day - Jakarta as in RL or Wilwatikta (Modern Trowulan)? And what's the reason for the choice?

The capital has to be able to be defended from the enemies who try to capture it via air, land, and/or sea. Which is bigger, Jakarta, or Wilwatikta? I think Jakarta is smaller, and seeing that every Eid people from villages and towns go to the capital to look for jobs, I don't think Jakarta is able to contain all population. After all, Jakarta itself is not designed to be a capital.

Hmm, after thinking over it and discussion with my dad, I've decided to go ahead with Wilwatikta AKA Trowulan in RL, as the Imperial Capital City of Majapahit. And considering the factors of Alternative Majapahit timeline and differences from RL, I imagined Wilwatikta as an moderately-populated, orderly, most modern city and administrative hub of the Empire.

Jakarta is much better off as an strategic economical city like New York.

What did u think, Mas Altito?

Oh btw, I plan to include elements of Strike Witches in this RP~. :3

Sure, I think it's the best.

And I don't know anything, about Strike Witches.

I see. I highly encouraged you watched Strike Witches, you can see them online like Gogoanime.com. You can understand that way, brother. Lemme know your thoughts once you're finished the whole two seasons. :3

On the other hand, do you have any suggestions or ideas for military units of Majapahit? Historical or modern?

I have one in mind, it's Chiburuy - Majapahit equivalent of British Grenadiers. Chiburuy is both Sundanese and Javanese for Grenadier, according to Google translate.

Historical? We can take a look from Civ V's Kris Swordmen. Sword fighters, but armed with kris.

Modern...I still have nothing on mind...

I see. Tho' realistically-speaking, I don't think there're Kris swordsmen back then. Cuz Kris is expensive and only the select few can make them, even in the older days. Y'know Kris is mostly ceremonial and less practical, mainly our ancestors believed the kris has mystical powers. Although on the other hand, since this is FanT, it's possible for Kris to be in use. Well, I was imagining you can applied your magical power into your kris as a magic amplifier or uses it like Star Wars lightsaber.

Hmm, I have more ideas for Majapahit military units. Basically, Majapahit-version of SAS and Kompassus. Any ideas on names?

I know it's not a practical swords, and more for ceremonial. But then again, given this is a FanT RP, an army of Kris Swordsmen sounds good.

Names for special forces, right? Maybe like Hayam Wuruk Corps, or Gajah Mada Special Rangers, using historical name as the first name and the likes of "Forces", "Corps", or "Squad" as the last name.

Nusantara Rangers.
Gajah Mada Special Rangers.
Hayam Wuruk Corps.

examples.

Interesting, tho' I think their names are more for regiment names. I was thinking the name like Grup Gerak Khas but I changed it to Kelompok Gerak Khas, also known as KGK to sound more native. What did u think?
