Hast thou not felt ashamed of thy words and deeds?
Hast thou not lacked vigor?
Hast thou exerted all possible efforts?
Hast thou not become slothful?
Humanity sailed the oceans since the dawn of time itself and while many braved the waves in their times, only few asked themselves, what lied deep in the abyss, deep below the waves... they were right to fear it. Not too long ago, the naval capabilities of the nations of the world, no matter how strong or weak they were, were tested by a force of monsters from that deep and overcome. Cities, once bustling harbours, were laid to waste by shore bombardments and carrier-strikes.
From the ruins, humanity found their protectors, the spirits of vessels long past having taken form and fighting once again against an enemy - not each other, not for their peoples, but for the whole of humanity. These are the kanmasu, the Ship Girls!
Welcome to Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West!
Our story begins on a small island in an area of the world named the Wide Seas, said island being home of the allied ship girl force responsible for the Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West, OS WS-SW for short. This sector, so far mostly untouched by humanity, houses several installation-type Abyssals, all under the watchful eyes of the allied naval base in the north-west of the sector.
So far, this base attracted little in the ways of attention or ship girls, but with operations in the general area picking up, that is sure to change drastically. So, welcome to the Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West... welcome to paradise or hell!
Hello and welcome a rather special, if I may say so myself, Kantai Collection Roleplay here on NS!
Now, what is Kantai Collection, or KanColle for short? A japanese browser game developed by Kadokawa Games and online since 2013. Centered around the building of squadrons of naval vessels of the WW2-timeframe and sending them onto missions against the aforementioned Abyssals, it is the Admiral's/Player's job to organize and lead this fleet - of moe anthropomorphisms of World War II naval warships. The game features, in usual Japanese fashion, first and foremost the vessels of the IJN, although, as of late, other vessels of the time were added, including a very few allied vessels.
For more details, please visit Wikipedia or the corresponding Wikia.
Now, what's supposed to make this RP so special? Simple: Instead of playing Shimakaze, Nagato and however they're all called, you'll play as the moe anthropomorphisms of vessels of your own NS-Nations' history. For me, that would for example mean the light cruiser Rhiannon.
So... who's ready to kick a few rear ends back into the abyss?
IC's up!
Now with a spinoff: Fairly Fairy Shananigans!
Now with Discord: here. The OP of this RP would like to point out, that he will most likely never be seen there, so if someone pretends to be him, tell him to go and bugger off.
(Btw, the thing at the top is a Gosei by Vice Admiral Hajime Matsushita, Chief of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy. It's quoted in the anime on occassion.)
