DEADLIEST WARRIOR | THE ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT (✔ applications)

by **New Hayesalia** » Sun Apr 23, 2017 9:04 am

In memory of Mack

Each episode on Deadliest Warrior, we will pit two of the most feared warriors civilisation has ever known against each other. Along with the use of 21st century science and the latest in CGI technology, each episode enlists warrior-specific, world-class fighters and experts to provide insight into what makes these combatants tick, analysing every facet of their unique skills of destruction, culminating in a head-to-head final fight between two legends of the battlefield that will produce the deadliest warrior.

With each team providing two experts for discussion, we'll get to the bottom of how these groups think as well as fight!

This is the Deadliest Warrior, where warriors fight to the death in a simulated question of who wins. Hosted by Greg Demoule, Dr. Arnold Dovan, Robert "Shark" Shacyzki and Tonya Burlow, with the new tests being created by Dave Baker, the show is ready to go into its latest international debut by expanding into new blood, into never before seen warriors. Only one unit will be crowned

The Deadliest Warrior is an exercise in science. To make this possible, every unit is judged against each other in a series of X-Factors that will outline their abilities and styles on the battlefield.

This competition will be decided in the following way, using this Sheet for reference and scoring. Only OP's may edit the Sheet. Here is the link for the Sheet again.

First, each unit must in their application distribute a maximum of 600 points to describe the style of their unit. You may use less than 600 points, and min-maxing is allowed. This isn't NS Sports after all.

Audacity - the likelihood of your troops to take bold risks. 0 represents a noncombatant force that will avoid conflict at all costs, 100 represents a force that will charge whole-heartedly and fearlessly into any mission.
Intelligence - refers to the combination of the intuitive and educational level of troops (seperate to training, more related to topics such as engineering or foreign languages on top of military training) and the usual amount of military intelligence that can be provided to them by their nation. 0 represents a force of morons with no idea what their mission entails, 100 represents a highly intelligent group of people with a huge network of intelligence gathering tools behind them.
Combat Experience - how experienced your troops are with real combat situations. 0 represents a force that has never seen a combat situation, 100 represents a force that is near-constantly fighting.
Discipline - how disciplined troops are, how likely they will be to follow the orders of their commander to the letter. 0 represents an unorganised force, 100 represents a force that is near-totally loyal to their command and needs their guidance.
Endurance - how long troops can continue in the worst of situations, their physical fitness and ability to keep going even while injured or exhausted. 0 represents a force that can only perform very short operations and must be carried to the mission area, 100 represents a force with a deep focus on long range, independent operations and patrols.
Extremism - how devoted troops are to a guiding leader or principle, and how aggressively they will act to protect that. 0 represents a force of no interests other than money or killing for it's own sake,
Morale - how happy troops are to serve. 0 represents a force of slaves with no interest in serving, 100 represents a force who see the ultimate form of nirvana to be their service
Psychological Warfare - how likely troops are to use shock and awe or horrendous brutality to intimidate their enemy. 0 represents a force that covers up any form of violence or brutality to the wider public, 100 represents a force that thinks nothing of crucifying a whole village of innocents for a picture.
Terrain Familiarity - how likely troops are to operate in a familiar and/or their home environment. 0 represents a force that could be called to service mainly in areas like the arctic or deserts but solely is prepared for jungle operations, whereas 100 represents a force that is entirely dedicated to operations in one area.
Training - how well trained troops are for their likely operations. 0 represents a force with absolutely no training, 100 represents a force trained in just about all facets of modern frontline infantry combat (and then some more.)

Second, the RP will commence. Using natural RP, the following things will be discovered:

Who's weapons are superior?
How would your special tool help you or hinder the enemy?
What X-Factors would be most important in a fight between these two warriors?

Thirdly, points will be added and subtracted in the following way:

Weapons that win the Edge (i.e. being the better weapon) in direct comparisons will buff your warriors by more points, up to 15 points depending on how clear the Edge is. A tie will net both teams 10 points.
The special tool you nominate will affect a number of X Factors, by buffing your own numbers and taking away from that of the enemy. You will be asked to suggest what X Factors would be impacted, and how severely. The judge will decide what X Factors change, and how much by.
After the final test, both teams must TG the judge with their "Final Argument." Each side gets to make a final pitch for themselves. Respond to what your opponent has been doing - especially what they've been doing wrong - and give extended details on what you believed your biggest advantage was. Bring up 2-3 things that aren't tested that you think would matter in a fight between both fighters. Please also highlight some X Factors (as many as you think relevant) that you believe would be important in a match up between these two warriors, and tell me why. This must be telegrammed to me, so that neither side gets an unfair advantage! The judge will give you instructions in a post as to when to send the Final Argument.

The Final Argument is an RP, and should be written as an RP section of a few paragraphs of your experts talking.
The most important X-Factors, as nominated by the Final Argument" and the judge, in a theoretical engagement between both sides will be picked. Each team will receive more points to those X-Factors using the equation X = Y÷10, where X is the extra points to be awarded and Y is the amount of points that team already has for that X-Factor. For example, a team with a score of 50 on an important X-Factor would be buffed to 55.

If you are a consistent RPer, an RP bonus of up to 15 points based on speed of replies and quality of posts will be added to your score.

Lastly, the Grand Total of each team will be converted into two shares of 100%. Using this site, a 100 sided die will be rolled 100 times to provide an average. The total average roll is used to decide the winner - if the die's average is larger than the larger percentage share, the lesser share wins. This means that if Unit A has a 51% of winning, and the die produces an average of 51.5%, then Unit B will win (just by the skin of their teeth.)

It's certainly a hard process, but it will make for an authoritative and fair result as opposed to an RP-centric festival. It adds an edge that I think has been lacking from previous DW threads.

Please read these rules before proceeding:

DA RULES OF DW

Only modern-era warriors are accepted. Anything in the era of 1990-2020 is acceptable, unless you want to play a group of African militia-style special forces with red dots on their AKs - just don't necessarily expect the win.
Nations may submit one unit per application. Please be aware these are intense RPs and as such, do not over commit. One unit is usually sufficient.
Absence from the RP for extended periods without an OOC post and expected time of return in this thread is not permitted and your team will be forfeited.
Decisions of who has the "Edge" in a test rest with the match host. It is appropriate to politely appeal to the host if you disagree, but please respect their decision.
No very new nations, or nations with under 400 posts (unless it is a puppet nation of a larger nation or otherwise well-known in the RP community) may apply. This is due to the tendency of small nations to quickly CTE.
--- Exceptions can be made when a) A larger, eligible nation invites your nation to a match against them or; b) When two ineligible nations with good quality RP history agree to a match between themselves. I will not place ineligible nations into open matches.
Usual godmod rules apply. You can write about the general effect of your weapons on the various pig carcasses and gelatin bodies, but leave the medical evaluation and weapon effect stuff up to the host. You can write about intended results of course - so something like "the bullet was designed to tumble in the body and cause vicious damage on exit" is ok, whereas "the bullet immediately hit the pig and clearly obliterated it's very essence" is not.
This is the most important rule. Your application will not be approved unless you post a picture or link a video of a monkey or other primate doing something funny. This is so I know you've read these rules :-)

Warrior Attributes

Unit Name - First Rate Militia
Nation of Origin - The Grand Theocratic Empire of Holy Marsh
Loyalties - The Grand Theocracy
Years Active - 1800 BC-Now
Average Height - 5'5
Average Weight - 130
Average Weight of Equipment - 45 lbs
Unit Insignia - Insignias vary wildly depending on region and sector of the response unit.
Short History of Unit - The Marshite Militia is the main defensive force of the nation, numbering over 500 million strong. First Rate Militia are the cream of this crop and have played a pivotal role in every major Marshite defensive engagement since their foundation in Pus'hani Corci around 1800 BC, or 1200 in the Marshite calendar.

Training of the Unit - The First Rate is the sum of Marshite experience. All Marshites undergo at least an hour of weapons training and an hour of military theory and tactics from the ages of ten to eighteen every school day, with school being six days a week every week of the year. All Marshites are conscripted, where they spend two more years training and engaging in active and vicious wargames with specialties being found out through a wide-ranging traing schedule, meaning those who are competent in tasks head into more specialized training rather than those who jump at it. After these two years, the very best units are inducted into the Marshite Army- never more than five percent, regardless of competence of those below a threshold.
Many of those who do not make it still wish to serve post-conscription, so they join the Militia. The many great skills of the Marshite youth are honed even further in the name of defensive conflict. With skills and knowledge already imparted, Militia training will focus purely on defensive tactics and strategies unique to a unit's area of operations. The First Rate Militia are considered the cream of the crop and are the first Militia units activated in defense of a city. Thus, while all Militia receive training for this purpose, the First Rate will spend several weeks a year for up to twenty years doing so, and are outfitted closest to the Marshite Army.

Warrior Appearance and General Equipment

DAUNTLESS Arachne IVA Marshite Modification Body Armor
Multispectral Camouflage Uniforms
BALCOTH Advanced Helmet
'Mamba' Tactical Boots
'Blacktalon' Combat Gloves
One MRE (Region based)
One canteen (Region based)
Personal Religious Items (Shrine based)
Region-Specific Personal Engineering Item/Movement Apparatus (Shovels, Icepicks, climbing gear)
Sidearm
Main Firearm

X-Factors - maximum 600 points

Audacity- 30. (While the Militia is inherently zealous and brave, the First Rate's primary mission is to respond to a crisis and contain it. It will take advantage of a situation, but is also more than ready to hold in place while the Militia's far more vast Second Rate mobilizes to devastate the enemy with overwhelming force.)

Intelligence- 70. (Marshites on the whole have an excellent working knowledge of warfare and the Militia is more than knowledgeable on the defense than almost any other force on the planet. Coupled with a defensive intelligence grid built into the foundation of the nation itself, and it is only the lack of offensive intelligence which prevents this from being higher.)

Combat Experience- 70 (The First Rate is the most active branch of the Militia. They are the first responders to any breach of the borders of the Theocracy in any situation. They are the only Militia units that are taken on foreign crusades, though engagements on foreign soil are mostly used as a form of combat training. Most First Rate units are experienced veterans, with an officer corp often made up of retired regular officers.)

Discipline- 30 (The First Rate are expected to answer the call of the situation once deployed. The sheer size of the Militia coupled with the mission of the First Rate means they receive less direction from command elements, who are generally more focused on mobilizing the less effective Second Rate.)

Endurance- 10 (Marshite territory is universally well stocked and prepared for long engagements. Thus, Militia units on average don't go into situations prepared for long engagements, as the ability to fall back and resupply minutes from any engagement is taken for granted.)

Extremism- 90 (Marshites as a whole are zealous members of the Church and will act with absurd aggression and conviction in its defense. Not a hundred if only due to the sheer number of First Rate and the impossibility of universality amongst them.)

Morale- 100 (Fighting for the Church is one of the highest honors one can attain. Dying for it is even higher and victory in its name the very highest. Marshites are raised on these principles; the First Rate is no exception.)

Psychological Warfare- 30 (The Militia isn't there to shock the enemy. They are simply there to kill the enemy. The longer the engagement the more likely they are to use brutal tactics, though the First Rate is rarely the ones using them.)

Terrain- 100 (When you engage a Militia unit, you are engaging a unit that has grown up in the very territory and has been trained in its defense down to the last meter. Members of the First Rate are universally intimately familiar with every speck of grass in the fields and every traschan in the alleywaym where the engagement is taking place. They know the land in the macro, micro, and nanoscale, and will use it to their advantage.)

Training- 70 (Marshites as a whole are extremely well trained, and while the First Rate does not have the same standards as the Army, they are exceptionally well trained for their defensive mission.)

Important part of Marshite operations is the SACHERI Battlespace and BALCOTH connectivity, allowing information dominance and ease of distribution. A First Rate Unit will know that above them fly dozens, and soon, hundreds of Kestrels automatically launched in response to an attack. For the purposes of this competition, a Kestrel represents a First Rate's access to SACHERI and her immense capabilities, even if the downing of a single (or indeed most) of the Kestrels flying above does not degrade the the Battlespace- for every one downed, ten more take flight.

Are you sure you're not forgetting anything important in your application? Have you double checked the rules?
This should answer your question.

Warrior Attributes
Unit Name - Battlefield Assault, Strategic, Tactical & Innovative Operations Node (BASTION)
Nation of Origin - New Hayesalia
Loyalties - New Hayesalia
Years Active - 2009 -
Average Height - 5'10"
Average Weight - 80 kg
Average Weight of Equipment - ~ 40kg
Unit Insignia - BASTION's Badge, worn with black beret
Short History of Unit - On the day that the Hayesalian Union amalgamated 23 member states to become one nation, New Hayesalia, the New Hayesalian Military was officially formed with the Navy, Army and Air Force. New Hayesalia still had a mish-mash of special forces units in the Union Defence Force, so with the Amalgamation of New Hayesalia, BASTION was formed to collect the best soldiers into one ultra-qualified, small, special unit.
Training of the Unit - To reach Tier One of New Hayesalia's special forces takes a lot of practice - there's a reason BASTION's youngest ever member was 24. To qualify, a candidate must first pass the Commando Qualification Course, serve in one of the three quick-response Commando Brigades, and then be accepted to a Tier Two special operations unit. These units, such as the Navy's Clearance Divers, Army's Special Reconnaissance Service, or Air Force Combat Controllers, are on the level of many international Tier One teams. BASTION selects volunteers from these units based on merit. Each individual member will have a specialisation in particular areas due to their previous unit. BASTION synthesises training, taking proven soldiers and cross-training them in all specialities of special forces operations.

Every member of BASTION is an expert in direct action roles, counter-terrorism, fire directing, covert operations and intelligence gathering, reconnaissance, personal protection, CBRN operations, special operations communciations, demolitions, and rescue. They are a small cadre of some of the world's best soldiers - with the budget and equipment to match - rumoured to number just over 1000 fully qualified soldiers in a Miltiary that is millions-strong.

They receive training in all types of combat, with all types of equipment and terrains known to them. They are trained in fields ranging as far as handling dangerous substances or weapons of mass destruction, covert operations, even how to operate large artillery pieces and basic aircraft piloting. Parachute, diver and mountain training is a minimum qualification, and their dress uniforms are always heavy with decorations. While each soldier - even though their members may come from any branch of the Military - keeps their substantiation rank, BASTION uses an unofficial rank system and is as self-reliant as possible. Troopers, Sergeants, Officers and Commanders are all that's needed, and only experience and respect earns you an unofficial promotion.

Their identities are secret, their training is sharpened to the finest of points, and their soldiers are the best in the world.

Warrior Appearance and General Equipment

Can we pick multiple weapons per 'slot'? That way in various tests we could match like weapons, with the exception of special tools at the end.

As quoted from NH regarding the same question in TG

"Nope, I'll try to roughly match up teams, but the point is to pick something that is more usual for your team to use. Equip them to succeed in whatever the usual or most common role of that unit is"

Keen to see your apps!

Obviously I'll avoid any teams where there's a huge imbalance (eg. a team of snipers vs a counter-terrorist urban unit won't be matched) so largely, the weapons that you pick should be match-worthy.

Unit Insignia -

Short History of Unit - Lesson learned throughout operations in the 70s and 80s led to today's 10th Airborne Cavalry Division of the Vannish Army. In the late 1970s, Vangaziland supported the ancestral homeland to many Vangazi in the New Gazilian Crisis. In the mid 1980s, the Vasconian Intervention brought the Vannish enemy into major conflict with longtime rival nation, Fierte. Airborne operations were essential to both conflicts. A lot of planning and careful time was needed before armored assets could be brought into the area. In Africa, Vannish Cavalry fought alongside the Army of New Gazi. Operations between airborne infantry, Vannish Cavalry and Gazilian Armor were complex. There was room to streamline the process.

In 2006, the 9th Airborne Infantry became the 10th Airborne Cavalry. 1st BCT was outfitted with the original BMD-4 vehicle. 3rd BCT was outfitted with a light airborne 4x4. 5th BCT was kept as a light Brigade Combat Team. In 2014, 5th BCT received the updated BMD-4M. 1st BCT is upgrading their original vehicles to 4M specs under the Airborne Cav Modernization Program. 3rd BCT is still using their light 4x4s.

In 2016, 5th BCT deployed to Al-Khalifiya in support of international operations. The unit has bridged the gap between armor, infantry and cavalry. They've played a major role in gathering intel and working with the local community. The vehicles move quickly through a diverse array of terrain. They bring accurate, 'direct fire support' to the recon mission.

In the modern Vannish Army, the gap between Cavalry and Infantry has blurred. The 10th ACD is responsible for its own sector, just as infantry units are.

Training of the Unit - The unit is based in central Vangaziland, along some of the most hilly parts of the country. There are also rivers and creeks nearby. Fording creeks during exercises is commonplace. Emphasis is placed on bold, quick tactics and violence of action. Just like many nations' paratroopers, soldiers of the 10th ACD are viewed as shock troops.

They are trained to win hearts & minds, while directing fear into the hearts of the enemy. Aggressive RoE and doctrine are offset by accurate intel and trigger discipline. PsyOps are a standard part of the 10th's doctrine. Each BMD or airborne 4x4 is equipped with a PA system and speakers.

The 10th conducts "drops", live fire airborne exercises, throughout Vangaziland. In January 2017, elements of the 1st BCT conducted a blank ammo drop into the suburbs of Emeros. The exercise was held close to the Vannish capital amidst times of political tension.

The exercise had been scheduled months earlier and was cleared with the local government before the tension was an issue.

Experts
Expert One
Name - Tomas Endrickssen (Major, former)
Appearance - Black, curly hair cut short. Medium brown skin typical of Black-Scandinavian Vangazi. Always wears an issued green fleece.
Age - 36
Relationship to Unit - Former Company Commander in the 10th ACD, Director of the Vannish Cavalry Society
Short Bio - MAJ Endrickssen spent his Army career moving through various Cav units. He became Airborne Certified in 2007 and moved to the 10th in 2008. He spent 3 years commanding B Co, 1 bn, 54th Cavalry Rgt. The Captain registered over 20 drops, including two direct interventions. One drop was humanitarian in nature, safeguarding humanitarian assets. The other was to reinforce local militia ops in the Svennish Isles.

He was promoted and sent to the unit's intel shop.

Endrickssen was known for his intense training regimen and attention to detail.

Expert Two
Name - Janine Anthern (Sergeant First Class, former)
Appearance - 6' and lanky, fair skin, auburn hair
Age - 34
Relationship to Unit - Cav Scout Company Platoon Sergeant, curator at the Vannish Cavalry Museum
Short Bio - 1SG Anthern was one of quite a few female Airborne Cav Scouts (CavAtroopers). Like all soldiers in the 10th and other Vannish combat units, female soldiers must meet all physical standards, including the maximum strength profile. Every MOS in Vangaziland has a strength profile. Certain roles use the MSP. Any soldier who meets the standard qualifies. A certain amount of weight has to be lifted in certain exercises. There are 12.8 km road marches. A certain physical testing score must also be achieved.

Janine exceeded all these standards and still does. She carries the Scandinavian heritage native to the Vannish continent. The Vangazi do not treat females as a weaker species. Gender does not equate to emotional strength. Some of the toughest soldiers in Vangaziland are women.

1SG Anthern worked her way up through various Cav units before going to Airborne School. She graduated and was assigned to the 10th ACD in 2011. She served as a designated marksman, often utilizing the HK417. By 2013, she was a platoon sergeant.

Hand to Hand Weapon
For hand to hand weapons such as knives or batons:
Weapon Name: Smith & Wesson SW671 Extraction & Evasion Tomahawk
Picture:

Size and Weight: 15.9" total length, 10" handle, 3.9" blade, 2.11 lbs
Extra Information:
Reason it has been selected for use by your unit: This tactical tomahawk is mainly used for rescue and survival purposes. It is relatively heavy for a tomahawk, ruling out throwing and quick striking. Vannish soldiers are trained to fight with heavy-handed, broad strikes. Strong, accurate blows are enough to penetrate everything from concrete and aluminum to certain body armor. The change in tactics offsets the lack of speed. The original handle and part of the uncovered stalk are usually wrapped in paracord.

For fighting styles such as karate or krav magra:
Style: Van Judo Jitsu
YouTube Video if available:
Extra Information: The Vangazi train in a style that is a blend of Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

This blend came about from typical Vannish Martial Arts schools, many of which are government funded. Settlers from an island that was once occupied by Japanese forces came to Vangaziland. They brought Judo and taught the art to the Vangazi. The Vangazi removed all traces of Shinto, but kept a focus on discipline and training.

Immigrants from rival nation, the Fierte Alliance, brought their form of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, sometimes called Fiertean Jiu Jitsu, much later. Vannish culture merged the two styles along with some of the first major Vannish Mixed Martial Artists.

The Vannish Army adopted techniques from both of these styles, along with the Vannish system of striking. It focuses more so on punches, elbows and close range striking, like knee or even head butts.

The Vannish Army focuses on the clench, the takedown and the ground game. There are ways to deflect a strike, close the distance, and wrap the enemy up. Once somebody's strong arm is wrapped, then the close range system of Vannish striking comes into effect, mainly to distract and prep for the takedown.

Once on the ground, the tactics have changed from Judo to Jiu Jitsu. Now the Vangazi are looking for the dominant position to control on the ground. They learn how to fight from many positions, like the guard and defensive postures.

But in combat, the Vangazi will not be gentle. They are heavy handed people. Joint manipulation will only result in broken bones. A chokehold will result in asphyxiation. They are not trained to disable, but to neutralize.

Reason it has been selected for use by your unit: The Vangazi are tall, big people. The airborne soldiers are lighter. The average height isn't as tall either, because this is an airborne unit. The lightest soldiers are the ones that get selected for Airborne. And if they aren't light, they will be before they earn their jump wings.

The Vangazi see this as more of a complete system. Striking is something one can spar and improve on their own. Many combat units hold competitions and rankings to build interest in striking and other martial arts.

Takedowns and the ground game need technique. Soldiers are taught many, many ways of clinching against various forms of martial arts. Taekwondo, Karate, or boxing? There is a clench for that. And if an enemy resists the clench or is larger, the Vangazi use violence of action to get into the mind of their enemy.

So the result is a system that closes the distance, engages the enemy and takes the fight to the ground quickly. The Vangazi make sure to train hard in the takedown and ground game to control a fight from start to finish, with technique and aggression.

Special Weapon

The 2A70 rifled gun is capable of firing guided and unguided shells. 34 ready-to-use unguided HE-Frag shells are carried in the turret of the vehicle. The vehicle mounted 100 mm gun is fitted with an autoloader that fires at a rate of 10-12 rounds per minute, with the time of each shell loading being 5–6 seconds. The two variants of HE-Frag shells available for the Bakhcha-U are the 3UOF17 and 3UOF19. The 3UOF19 is used, causing a bigger blast radius. When implemented in the Bakhcha-U turret, the 2A70 is capable of effectively hitting targets up to 7 km with its unguided rounds.

A modern fire control system provides accurate targeting, complete with a rangefinder and day/night sights.

Special Tool
BMD-4M

This vehicle fills a role with the 10th Airborne Cavalry Division. Command called for a vehicle that could be dropped into a warzone, move a team of Cavalrymen and support their operations. The vehicle has a 100mm cannon, a 30mm autocannon, a 240C and an M249. The vehicle is meant to work alongside Armor units and supplements Vangaziland's T-90s and BMPTs, as well as her Bradleys and MOWAG vehicles. The 10th is designed to deploy a brigade in support of allied operations, bringing a light armored niche to airborne operations.

For sure, it's not necessarily a quick bit of writing. But I enjoyed it. That emblem though...

Also, as far as seeing it around before well... Since it's a show IC, I'm seeing this as the New Hayesalian production of the series. Some Vannish network got a hold of broadcast rights and since the government has a minor stake in all sorts of business here, they figured they'd add one of their units to the fray.

by **New Hayesalia** » Wed Apr 26, 2017 8:56 pm

Nice app Vang!

The only thing I would say is that a BMD is probably too heavy for Deadliest Warrior. Not all teams have a heavy AT capacity to defeat an APC. If you could replace it with something more for the Airborne role that would be more suitable - maybe a precision air drop system or something to that effect for your special tool?

Are you sure you're not forgetting anything important in your application? Have you double checked the rules?

Great app!

I'm gonna ask that you swap out your Kestrel for a non-armed variant - I'd rather the tools be tools, rather than weapons, unless it is really a central part of your application.

I'll update the rules to reflect this
