Of Ships and Girls and Shipgirls - a KanColle-RP (OOC)

[Mestovakia]

Uhm...Would it be alright if I RP'ed as an Abyssal?

[The Cross and Davids Star]

Uhm...Would it be alright if I RP'ed as an Abyssal?

Yes it would. Great in fact.

[The Selkie]

Uhm...Would it be alright if I RP'ed as an Abyssal?

Yes it would. Great in fact.

Indeed it would be great - Land Bases are preferred, but any Princess is alright - however, you will not play with a kanmusu-character. It's an either-or-decision.
In your case, that'd mean retconning Sagami, for example.
As an Abyssal-Princess, you'd have access to up to two small battlegroups of seven vessels at the most (one of six vessels, if your Princess is mobile), composed as you wish (within reason, so no seven Wos and absolutely no other Princesses) under your direct control. If you give them names or not, like Wolftraud, is up to you, but it'd help with keeping track.

Important questions: Where would you like to be on the map of the sector? What would your Princess be like (character-wise, if you want, copy and paste the App for the kanmusu, but you can also write a bit about it as well)? What's her force? Would you be willing to 'take in' sunken kanmusu returning as Abyssals?
There might be a few more in the future.

[Bentus]

Yes it would. Great in fact.

I'd also be interested - though probably not enough to scrap Lewis at this point. How would you want an abyssal to be RP'd though - out of curiosity? It raises up the issue of having to come up with their motivation for attacking, why are they engaging in a war with the humans, etc. Are the abyssals their own masters or are they subservient to some other unknown beings? Are there 'civilian' abyssals?

How I would like to see them being played... just like I'd like to see the Kanmusu being played, to be honest: With personality, quirks, opinions, plans and aspirations. And, of course, a certain hatred for the enemy.
Concerning that, source material (or rather the movie) explains to us, that they are sunken kanmusu, filled with rage and hatred towards humans and their protectors, so you can fill in from there - including, of course, with the oldest reason of them all.

In my personal opinion and fanon, which is not binding to this RP, I see the Princesses as Abyssal-Leaders, less as female heirs of a monarch and more as rulers in the generic term, which could work with the Japanese term Hime (I am aware, that the article lacks sources), which is a generic term for a lady of higher birth - it could work. As such, they are independent from each other and a higher authority, but work together more or less to reach a common goal.
Generallry, I would greatly love to see 'civilian' Abyssals officially, as much as I'd love to see 'civilian' kanmusu, not only converted from passenger steamers, but the outright civilian vessels pressed into military service, especially cruise liners like Normandie, Bremen or Queen Mary. One could argue, though, that the Wa-class Transports are already civilian Abyssals - even if 'only' as Merchant Navy vessels.

I wonder what came first - the abyssal or the kanmusu? Sounds like a plan, so it's not a Pacific rim style situation where a hostile race of begins are sending the abyssals as an invading army?

Personell file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: Sagami
Type: Armoured Cruiser Hime
Class: Former Andizahn-class Armoured Cruiser
Role: Flagship of an Abyssal Fast Attack Fleet (1 Re-Class Battleship *Harima*, 2 Chi-Class Torpedo Cruisers, 3 Wa Class Transports)
Nation of origin: Mestovakia
Year commissioned: 1894
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: Sagami
Gender: Female
Character: In other areas, various fleets have reported her unit's high degree of co-ordination and tendency to capture severely damaged shipgirls. Sagami herself is a tactical planner who can sometimes lose sight of the forest for the trees, focusing too much on defeating one enemy and not paying attention to other kanmusu. When not in battle, Sagami likes to explore shipwrecks and go fishing.
Special abilities: High capability for battlefield strategies.
Technical Description of the vessel:
Sagami was one of the 8 Andizahn-Class Armoured Cruisers developed by the Navy
at the dawn of the 20th Century. For their time, they were fast and well-armoured.
They were quite suited to the High Seas battles of the 1911 1st Europan War,
but the post-war advances in Technology meant that Sagami became far outclassed.

During the Early 2nd Europan War in 1933, she was moved to the Laurentian Theatre.
Sagami helped fight off a Laurentian Attack Fleet, but was torpedoed in the engine
room, causing her propulsion system to become severely damaged. Due to budget
restrictions, she was never properly repaired and became quite slow. Postwar, she was
sunk as a target ship. Her grudge at her human creators for just moving onto more
advanced ships and unceremoniously sinking her caused her to reappear as an Abyssal.

[North Arkana]

An armored cruiser going 25 knots? From an age when the Mikasa doing 18 knots was quite blistering?

[Rustyal]

An armored cruiser going 25 knots? From an age when the Mikasa doing 18 knots was quite blistering?

1934.

[North Arkana]

Who makes armored cruisers in 1934? They stopped being a thing pre-WW1. This ship is about... 25 years late to the party, probably more. Everything about it screams "I belong in a much different decade".

Compound Armor is of 1880s vintage, and was replaced by nickel-steel in the 1890s, which itself was replaced within the same decade by Harvey Steel, which didn't even make it to the 1900s because Krupp Cemented became the global standard.

[Hashirajima]

I *am* seeing an interwar armoured cruiser, right? Wew....

Anyway: Ehhhhh probably should post. Just need to figure out how. Also, is the no-capital-ship rulebit still in force?

[Mestovakia]

Our Armoured Cruiser Classification actually means a Light Cruiser.

[North Arkana]

Our Armoured Cruiser Classification actually means a Light Cruiser.

And yet it has a full on armored cruiser armament and armor and everything.

[Regria]

SO!

As part of my 're-inspiration' for art, I think I'm going to try something new! When major holidays roll around, I'm probably gonna try and draw Brightbell in a 'costume' relating to each one as they come-- though miscellaneous 'costumes' may come and go depending on how I feel. What would you guys think about that?

Pending - we're currently going over a few details over TGs, but looks good so far.

I *am* seeing an interwar armoured cruiser, right? Wew....

Anyway: Ehhhhh probably should post. Just need to figure out how. Also, is the no-capital-ship rulebit still in force?

Yes, the no-Capital-Rule is still in force.
I sadly have no idea about how you could post, but there's multiple points, where you could join - unless you want your two to start something on their own.

EDIT:

I wonder what came first - the abyssal or the kanmusu? Sounds like a plan, so it's not a Pacific rim style situation where a hostile race of begins are sending the abyssals as an invading army?

Egg and chicken - my bet is still on the egg.
No, it's not a Pacific Rim Situation... more of a situation of the Japanese looking at WW2 through their own looking glass of alternate history.

EDIT², because I'm an idiot with the attention span of a goldfish:

That sounds like a wonderful idea, Regria - I look forward to seeing it. If that doesn't bring back the spice of drawing, then I don't know either!
(And again I must mourn, that I can't draw...)

So I'm still here, but haven't a bloody clue how to get back into the IC.

So I might throw up an app for a seaplane tender of some description for the convoy. The question is if Hurricanes (because strike aircraft) could be made a decent seaplane a la the IJN's A6M2-N.

I don't know about the Hurricanes, to be honest, but considering that the Japanese weren't the only ones doing that... besides, there's an option for the floatie-Hurricane (henceforth Floatiecane).
Granted, it's primarily a fighter, not a strike aircraft, but...
If you want, though, I can give you a summary about what happened during Day 2 so that you might find your way back into the RP with the already existing characters.

Ladies and Gentlemen, if I may introduce to you our first Abyssal-Opponent, the Abyssal Armoured Cruiser Princess Sagami - a warm welcome, please!
If you need a place to have her arrive/stay/leave for the moment of her introduction, there's a Harbour Princess (or rather the only Harbour Princess in the area) in the Bay of Tears.

MOAR CRUISERS~! Coz that's totally all I build on FtD these days... >_<

Personnel file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: IJN/HIJMS Kushiro
Type: Light Cruiser
Class: Agano-class (modified)
Role: Fleet escort, surface action, anti-aircraft
Nation of origin: Japan
Year commissioned: 1945
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:

Gender: Female
Character:
An airheaded individual who have a tendency-turned-hobby to eavesdrop on people for her own amusement. Have a tendency to gloss over things that she has no interest in, but focuses intensely on those that she is. Like aircraft. (And downing them. She finds their radar pings annoying.)

Special abilities:
- High rate of fire, but lower shell penetration and damage per shot
- Really, at this point the Long Lance torpedo should count as a special ability by itself. It's a bit... ridiculous compared to others of its time.

Technical Description of the vessel:

Kushiro was drawn up as a simple redesign of the light cruiser class in the 4th Naval Armaments Supplement Programme of 1939, but holds the distinction of being the first ship whose construction was authorised directly by Isoroku Yamamoto after the secession of the IJN. Taking notes from the American Atlanta-class light cruisers, the decision was made for her to carry a large battery of 10cm/65 Type 98 dual-purpose guns, backed up by a heavy array of triple mounted Type 96 25 mm AT/AA guns. To complement her admittedly almost-excessively AA-focused armament, she was equipped with two Type 21 air search radars linked to her main fire directors AND an independent Type 13 air search radar.

However, due to the lack of space, she's also the first light cruiser since the Tenryuu-class to not carry planes.

Technical Data
Displacement: 6,652 t (6,547 long tons) (standard); 7,590 t (7,470 long tons) (loaded)
Length (overall): 174 m (571 ft)
Width (it's Beam, ya'know): 15.2 m (50 ft)
Draught: 5.6 m (18 ft)
Propulsion: 4 shaft Gihon geared turbines; 6 Kampon boilers; 100,000 shp (75,000 kW)
Speed: 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph)
Complement: 726
Armament:
20 × 10 cm (3.9inch)/65 cal. Type 98 AA guns (10x2)
3 × 610 mm torpedo tubes (1 x 3)
27 × 25 mm (0.98 in) Type 96 AA guns (9x3)
36 depth chargers; two depth charge racks
Armour:
Machinery belt: 60 mm (2.4 in)
Magazine belt: 55 mm (2.2 in)
Armoured deck: 20 mm (0.8 in)
Forward armoured bulkheads: 25 mm (1.0 in) to 20 mm (0.8 in)

[North Arkana]

Sagami still goes 25 knots despite dating from the 1890s with a smaller propulsion system, and way more armor, than Edgar Quinet, who can barely make 23, and has about 5000 more tonnes on this ship, because... reasons?

And for a more contemporary comparison, there's the Dupleix class, which is slightly lighter.

Also it's worth noting the 10cm/65 is a pretty awful anti-surface weapon. Hatsuzuki had a couple hours to spray shells all over the USN destroyer and cruiser force beating her in the face till she sank, and none of the USN ships took any notable damage.

Alright, here we go:

- During the Election of a new Flagship, the Novayan Ships noticed one of their number being missing, namely their carrier Novaya. Search parties went out, but first priority was finishing the election.
- The election ended with a tie between Coriolanus and Hydrus, the two arranging it so that the former becomes flagship, the latter Fleet Adjutant.
- More searchers, amongst them Rhiannon contrary to her orders, went out into the rainforest and nearly witnessed Novaya commiting suicide (some of his fairies died during the battle in the night before, while others were crippled beyond recognition), said attempt failing due to quick thinking and shooting. In the following meltdown of the carrier, it is decided by the remaining Novayans, that they need to cheer him up.
- Rhiannon finds a friend in Brightbell.
- Coriolanus formally assumes command and begins to issue orders.
- The Arkanans, led by Horizon, decide that they want to try and do their own thing - calling some protocol or the other into effect, they see themselves out and are now on their own with limited supplies and maintenance, on an island without any harbour installations.
- A training excercise with paint bullets ends in several injuries, not only injured pride, especially concerning the sloop Stilly, who took a 16inch paint shell to the chest at point blank range. It is currently being treated.
- Coriolanus and Rhiannon speak for a bit about future plans, before the conversation is interrupted by the Novayans, who propose a party to cheer Novaya up - while that idea is appreciated, Coriolanus had a few concerns with the proposed party supplies, all while changing it to a party for everyone to unwind and relax.
- The Midday Patrol, of Whona and K 591 departs and is sighted by the Arkanan submarine Abgrund, who then, unbeknowst to the patrol, begins to shadow them with unclear intent, resulting in Horizon calling another protocol into effect declaring her a rougue asset. The patrol, meanwhile, begins with evasive maneuvres following a hunch and a bad feeling of K 591. Horizon dispatches the destroyer Leopard to report about that, the destroyer being spotted by an air patrol.
- Lanza Blanca, a Yekrian Battleship, arrives on the wrong side of the sector, cornered by a Wo-class carrier without escorts conducting flight trials of new Abyssal Fighters, and decided to sleep until nightfall to have a safe passege under the cover of night. (EDIT 1)
- The cruisers USN Lewis Point and SDFS Searc arrive, are send to Rhiannon by Coriolanus, who they meet at the harbour - said Rhiannon, meanwhile, while enjoying her newfound freedom from paperwork meets Prophet and decides to bring him to the scrap-warehouse, where all the materials designated for scrapping are stored. She is intercepted, first by Lewis and Searc, then by the Novayans, who still plan it solely towards the purpose of cheering Novaya up.

Did I miss anything important?

[...]

Right, 'Decision of the OP'-Time. North Arkana, I'm going to put my foot down - while your input is greatly appreciated, not everything on this thread must be hyper-realistic. In fact, it will not be.
So, if you want to complain about some ships being unrealistic in your opinion, this is the place to do it.
Not this.
And while we are at it, you can also be a bit more polite in your criticism, okay? I know, that you can do it. Thanks.

[Yekrenia]

I should also mention that my app - Lanza Blanca - is en route to the base as a new arrival to the fleet; however, there seems to be the trouble that no one knows she's coming. Either the telegraph of Lanza Blanca's transfer was intercepted or it didn't make. Nevertheless, Lanza Blanca is sleeping until nighttime to safely sail the waters, 'cause she's low on coal and doesn't have enough of it to conduct a direct confrontation.

Right, sorry - completely forgot her... I'll edit it in, please give me a moment.

[North Arkana]

I'm not asking for hyper realism. I'm asking for things to at least make nominal sense, because even in KanColle itself, a game about moe anthropomorphic ship girls, the ships reflect real capabilities and real equipment.

This is just straight up physics breaking in ship design, but you already give that a pass, so i don't even know why I bother.
