The Way Forward; A GATE RP [OOC] [OPEN]

[Zjaum]

Sure, but that was when war was so bloody that war itself scared soldiers more than the enemy.

You never gave qualifiers. You just asked when "playing nice" ever entered the equation.

True.

[Vahltunskhja]

Ranks and units and hierarchy are a bit chaotic right now but will we be organizing squads at some point? Or are things a bit more fluid for now.

[Ormata]

Please organize squads.

Tori needs to line-up her jokes and stuff.

[The Yuktobanian Republic]

Please organize squads.

Tori needs to line-up her jokes and stuff.

Where would an Strf-9040 fall under?

[Ormata]

Probably under the dick jokes section.

In all honesty, I think you are attached to an infantry platoon.

[Vahltunskhja]

In all honesty, I think you are attached to an infantry platoon.

Attached to a Mechanized infantry platoon, providing direct fire support.

You'd be in charge of ferrying around a squad and chewing up/spitting out anything too big for rifles to handle.

[Parcia]

So, can we get up, put our hands up in a none threatening pose and go to the elf, seeing as she seems about to pass out, or do we wait for that?

Cause the doctor in Mason is gonna kick in and say she needs help. It would look good for PR to.

[Monfrox]

Imma just say this now.

Fire.

Jet fuel.

Highly concentrated fire.

Jet fuel.

If I apply enough heat to the target, the target will die. If I apply enough heat to the barrel of a tank, the barrel will warp. If I concentrate enough heat to a vehicle, it will have issues. An A-10 will do things...until it dies from lots of magic. For instance, I assume the Empire has mages. Mages can hold an object in place, or halt the wind about the object. Such an event would cause the A-10 to drop from the sky.

Honestly, at this point, I just want the Empire to have a good showing and not get...you know. Massacred like in the show.

1. JP-8 has a high flashpoint and higher autoignition temp.

2. He does not know where the fuel tanks are, nor how any of these things work to really truly disable it from one strike.

3. You would have to fight the A-10's engines for a good damned while since turbines suck the air in. Not to mention trying to enact magic on something flying at such high speeds is harder because you have to shift it with the object.

4. The A-10 has been known to be a tough plane during the Gulf War, being able to come back damaged multiple times and losing an engine in one instance.

5. This is always going to be lop-sided when you get down to brass tacks.

Well, roll a 1d20 for a Constitution check...

But in all seriousness, how are we open communications? I don't think the Empire is going to do squat, Raab is too weak for communication, and I haven't seen the related anime. I have an idea or two, but I want to know what the moderator's got planned.

Well, i had this idea of him getting up and maybe trying to get her to come closer. Medic senses be tingling.

[Parcia]

Hetland, I'm going to assume you took over a NPC squadie and not an OC...

Cause I have personally used the Ban-Katana for such offenses.

[Zjaum]

Well, i had this idea of him getting up and maybe trying to get her to come closer. Medic senses be tingling.

Well, yeah, and sane people would know that you have good intentions and "magical" healing powers. That still doesn't solve how I can say to you, "Welcome. Please come this way. Don't eat those berries; they will kill you."

Smiley face, universal sign of good will.

All right. I think I've got something, but I think I'd like to wait for a few more responses, particularly Raab's.

... What do I look like? A ten post noob? Take a look at the post count, and the join date. I know what I'm doing, dude.

I wasn't insinuating anything of the like, but i have seen people who were founded in antiquity pretty much top caring and pull shit like that.

Well, so long as we're clear, I'm usually pretty good about not doing shit like that. It indeed was an NPC grade NPC.

[Zjaum]

I also just want to be clear: the empire does have access to the arcane? Are they just a bunch of mindless brutes, like the Huns or Germans, or are they more strategically diversified, like the Roman army?

[Zjaum]

Btw, I'm watching the first episode of Gate. I like our version better; Gate reminds me WAY too much of Pixels, especially when comparing the main character with the Adam Sandler character.

I have literally no comment for that.

[Zjaum]

Watch it again! It totally does!

A loser nerd finds redemption, both for himself and the human race, when foreign objects come flying in from an unknown world. Because of this, his power fantasy is fulfilled, yet he continues to f*** it up. Seriously!

Biography: Dimitri Aleksadr Zubarev was born 2 years after the Soviet Union dissolved, he  grew up to be an averagely smart boy but he had problems socializing. When he got to high school things became a lot more difficult with peer pressure and due to his hobby of absolutely nothing and also because he was bullied, he eventually graduated with scores high enough to pursue his desired course for Pre-Law, so his parents shipped him of from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg to study in the State University there.  

For the span of the 4 year course Dimitri had a breakdown after the 1st year due to stress from school work, home sickness and more stress from the demands of his family to pass the course, so his parents made a bet, either they had him go through a psychological analysis or have him crushed and built back up the latter was chosen and he was put in the military. At first the instructors thaught he was going to be sent back home with his preformance, but midway through training, after his old self was crushed and a new person was built, he eventually caught up with the rest of the class which caught the attention of his instructors, he was eventually separated from his class and put into a bomb disposal class with 5 other people from his class.  

The Second Chechen War was his first deployment, it was also where he was given the position of squad gunner and also his first taste in combat. His first engagement was when they had set up a trap for an enemy convoy, there Dimitri's expertice came handy as he was the one who set up the mines thus causing him to deal the most enemy casualties, the firefight followed and with the standard PKP Pecheneg he was given, him and his platoon mowed them down with "exceptional" casualties on their side. The following days the nightmares came, but he eventually over came the nightmares. After his deployment he was promoted to Private First Class due to his actions in in the theatre.

The next deployment after was in North Caucausus due to an insurgency, for the 3 months he was there he did bomb disposal and squad support, eventually bomb disposal became a skill when his batallion was being used as a back-up force which he didn't like since he hated just sitting around doing nothing, this eventually triggered a new hobby of drawing things he saw in base like squads on patrol duty, tanks and trucks comming in and out, even the simple civillian who was doing their daily tasks. With the time he had back at base doing the easy parts of the armed forces, Dimitri eventually became a very sociable person again to the extent where soldiers came to him to discuss their problems, at one point even his commanding officer came to him to seek for help. He was on patrol duty when he saw the Gate in Sweden open up, he heard of the civilian casualties and everything that happened, he had the urge to fight back, but it wasn't his country so he dropped it and went back on hid patrol. A few days past and his commanding officer gave him a folder with him saying "I'm not sure how you're going to react to this Dima, but you should think about going" which caused him to read it at once, the first thing he saw when he opened the folder was his record, it was more decorated than he thought, then he saw a UN file regarding Operation: Forward until Dawn, he was going to refuse, but then he read further, it was about what happened in Sweden, he had a rule about civilians, and the ammount that died in the incident fed the flame to get revenge, so he accepted, he aslo gave a requesition form for an STSh-81 SPHERA helmet after seeing who he would be fighting against and left on the next transport to Moscow for authentication and submission of his file and acceptance to Operation: Forward until Dawn and then to Sweden, but before he left for Sweden he was promoted to Junior Sergeant for accepting the offer and because of his actions in Caucausus before his Batallion was assigned to a reinforcement group.

I would've preferred it be a PC. That goes without saying that you'd need to ask permission first and I'm assuming that it wouldn't be for long. Now there's an NPC I gotta worry about now.

Also, Parcia, play nice or you're out of the sandbox.

Moral Alignment: Lawful evil

Biography: Born in Auckland, New Zealand. His parents were somewhat wealthy, with a legitimate, but weak claim to English nobility.

In school he kept his friends at arms length, not really the trusting type, but he can get along well with anyone. Sees himself as superior to others because of birth, but doesn't show it much. Wanted to join the Armed Forces ever since he was a kid. Top grades in CIE, he continued to graduate with a History/Classics degree in New Zealand's top University, also became the Fencing club's best, all whilst serving in the reserves.

After graduation, he moved on to full army service. Applied to the SAS as an officer, accepted and served in Iraq to train the Iraqi Army. A brilliant officer and skilled operator, he has a promising career in the Armed Forces. Though not the strongest, his quick adoption of the martial arts, as well as his reflexes in combat gives him an edge over stronger soldiers. Newly promoted to LT.

Personality: A young man of good taste, perhaps to his blue bloodedness, speaks calmly, doesn't particularly like stressful situations, because he doesn't get stressed much, every problem is simple, obsessed with tradition and the order of things. A Conservative but would vote Clinton if he could.

Likes: "Winter", Summer, Quality, reliability, fairly obscure things. For example, he uses a $120 DE razor with accompanying soaps and oils.

Dislikes: Anything he doesn't like.
