Since time immemorial, humans have had an inseperable connection to the sea. Civilizations have traded, wars have been fought, livelihood made on seas both high and low. From the prehistoric caveman's hollowed-out trunk or woven-reed boat to the aircraft carriers and cruise ships of today, man has dared to cross the seas in the pursuit of wealth, religion, adventure, power, and survival.
This constant of human existence has carried undisturbed for years. Even now, as mankind's technological advancement increases exponentially faster, more is known about the reaches of outer space than the depths of our own oceans. Life continued unabated until they rose.
No one knows where specifically they came from, but within the timespan of a month, the world's oceans became plagued with them, indiscriminately wrecking fishing trawlers and warship fleets alike on the high seas. Humanity was pushed from the oceans without hope. The Abbysal menace may well have been calling the death knell of the human race, were it not for them. Ships in human form, taking the spirits of humankind's proudest warships, emerged to fight the Abbysals and retake the sea for humankind. With the full backing of their homenation and the future of humankind in the balance, they fight on every sea, hoping to purge the Abbysal invasion from their homes.
And so this takes us to one crucial front..

Hello all, welcome to a unique twist on a more traditional Kantai Collection-themed roleplay.
Kantai Collection (also known as Kancolle) is a game focusing on personifications of World War 2-era warships, primarily Japanese but also including British, American, German, and other nations such as Italy, who fight against the invading 'Abbysal' forces, who seek to eliminate all of humanity. Formations of these anthropomorphisms of ships engage in combat to destroy the Abbysal threat to safeguard human life and civilization. Azur Lane is a game following a very similar concept, which sees anthropomorphized ships from various spinoff nations (I.E. the 'Sakura Empire' as the IJN or the 'Eagle Union' as the USA) battle an enemy force known as Sirens.
This RP, taking inspiration from Selkie's old RP, is brought back with a newer twist. Shipgirls will be, as they were, original characters- that being, personified versions of ships that derive from your NS nations, real designs or not- so long as it's technologically and generally realistic, it's allowed! In this premise, all ships will be modern-day warships. Aircraft carriers, arsenal ships, destroyers, submarines and the like are more than welcome to join in. I only ask that everyone doesn't pile in on the capital-grade ships- destroyers, submarines, and cruisers are just as important. This RP brings the WW2-setting of Kancolle into the more modern era.
Our scene is set in FLEET REGION NORTHWEST AELIAN, one of a number of subdivided fleet regions under the Combined International Fleet (CIF), the international naval force formed to combat the Abbysal forces. The Aelian Ocean is a vast, yet scenic expanse of water, ringed with islands, fjords and fjards, and renowned for its particular volcanic activity. In the summer season, storms tend to rain for a day or two, leaving the time inbetween either clear or partially cloudy. Joint Naval Station Aramina, situated on the foot of an enormous dormant volcano capped most of the year with snow, could be seen by many as a scenic resort, with hiking trails, inland lakes, and an abundance of nature surrounding it. In reality, Aramina is the CIF’s centerstone in a policy to reclaim the Aelian, which fell quickly in the initial invasion. To this end, it is a recently and well built facility with top of the line docking, maintenance, repair and storage facilities. Its strategic location necessitates a strong defense- which is provided by dedicated air superiority and naval strike aviation groups, anti aircraft guns and missile batteries of varying sizes and ranges, coastal anti-ship missile batteries, and many other countermeasures. Dormitory, headquarters, and recreational buildings, including a natural hotwater spring in the mountains, mess facilities and others are also present on base.
