Girls Und Panzer RP OOC (Previously Interest) Thread

Welcome to Tomio Hara University High School, a school dedicated to raising young girls into upstanding women in society. The school has a striking heritage in its girls Sensha-Do team. As such it has grown to the point that it has even begun competing on the international level, on par with schools such as the Kuromorimine Girls High School. It is fairly strict with its entrance criteria and only allows some of the best girls in to its program.

As you can tell this is a Girls und Panzer roleplay. It is about high school/ college aged girls taking part in Sensha-Do, the art of piloting tanks. Each Nation involved will roleplay the entire team of a tank on the schools team, while this seems like much only the tanks commander will be a primary character with the others being secondary.

Sensha-Do Rules (straight from the anime):
Participating Vehicles: Vehicles are restricted to those that were designed and tested before 8/15/1945 and/or vehicles that use equipment that was planned for use in that era. (Tanks that were still in the planning stage at that time can be used based on decisions passed by the League.)

Valid Rounds: Use only approved rounds by the Tankery League. Producing or modifying rounds or ammunition is prohibited.

Additional Equipment #1: For the protection of the crew, the safety measure of having the inside of the tank plated with League-approved armor is enforced.

Additional Equipment #2: A League-approved "judging device" is installed into each participating tank. The judging device can automatically calculate a round's power, armor strike location, and entry angle based on the information sent by a chip installed in each round.

Tankery Battle Styles: Total Annihilation & Flag-Style
Total Annihilation: The first team to have all of its tanks incapacitated, loses the match.
Flag-Style: The first team to have its flag-tank incapacitated, loses the match. (Used in national tournaments)

Pre-semifinal matches allow up to 10 vehicles, Semifinal matches allow 15, and final's matches allow 20.

Favorite Tank: M3 Stuart Light Tank
Favorite Subject: Language Arts
Hobby: Making Video Documentaries of anything and Bird Watching.
Bio: The Commander of Team Kōha, she was the second to last person in the group to join the tankery class, this was due to her mother and father disapproved the sport, believing that tankery was simply a way to turn young girls into soldiers for the future. Not wanting to go against their wishes, Mikage aggressively declined Ayame's and Yoshika's invitation to join, pushing her friends away. It was during one of the practice match against another school, were her friends, with their undermanned tank, that truly caused her to join. It was the fact that, they were the last tank left in the game and was surrounded, futilely fighting them off. Her concern overtaking her, she called on them through her cellphone and guided them through, allowing them to escape and led them to near victory. They were knocked out by one of the two remaining heavy tanks, but it showed Mikage's potential as a tank commander, so with a little bit more persuasion, she joined. Eventually, Chizuru was also convinced, and they had a complete team then. And the rest was history.


Name: Yoshika Otonashi
Age: 15 years old

Favorite Flower: Chrysanthemum
Favorite Tank: M24 Chaffee
Favorite Subject: Cooking Class
Hobby: Cooking, Eating, learning about cameras, camera maintenance.
Bio: The loudest and most laid-back member of the group, Yoshika is often described as a walking refrigerator, due to always carrying a backpack full of food and drinks in the tank, which made it a little cramp. In combat, she is always cheerful and always look at the bright side, no matter what situation they are in.

Age: 16 years old
Appearance:

Favorite Flower: Blue Bonnet
Favorite Tank: Panzer 38(t)
Favorite Subject: Computer Science
Hobby: Video and Photo editing, running, but she also likes playing racing games and simulations, liking the rush that comes with it.
Bio: Ayame is the most energetic out of all the girl's in the team, who also was the one to insisted on creating the Sensha-Do team, which was initially the other members opposed the idea. After going though several matches, they finally worked the kinks in the group and finally began to have fun together.


Name: Chizuru Iwasawa
Age: 15 years old
Appearance:

Favorite Flower: Alstromeria
Favorite Tank: Type 95 Ha-Gō
Favorite Subject: Sign Language
Hobby: Taking Pictures, reading, and Cosplaying.
Bio: She is the quietest of the team, preferring to read in solitude by herself, although by all means does she lack social skills. Chizuru was also famous in her previous school for wearing costumes before tank matches in order to raise morale and relieve tension, which was essential for keeping the team together in the early days of their formation, as they were prone to argument.


Zepplien
Team name: Kappa
Tank: Hetzer

Name: Alanna Brisco
Age: 16
Appearance: Here, though when she reads she has to wear a monocle over her right eye, or it gives her a migraine
Favorite Flower: Lupins
Favorite Tank: Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte
Favorite Subject: History, or mathematics, she can never decide
Hobby: Playing historical board games
Bio: Alanna, named for her grandfather, was one born on one of the many school based carriers, and raised there naturally. She was gifted in her studies as she grew up, thanks to the rare gift of eidetic memory, allowing her to memorize things at a glance. Though offered many times as she grew up, she never skipped grades, wanting to be with her friends as they grew up. As they entered highschool, she convinced her friends to take Tankery with her, though her underfunded school was able to only afford cheap tanks, assigning them to the Hetzer due to them being the last team to sign up, and it being the worst of their tanks. Uncomfortable, cramped, and hot, they never the less fought gallantly, earing the top spot in their tank team. For the first time in their school’s history they beat another school, thanks to the quick thinking of Alanna, and her taking command once their lead Panzer IV was destroyed. Though they were eliminated in the second round, it was due to superior numbers, not thanks to their inferior tanks or general lack of training. This attracted the attention of another school, who recruited her by offering to give her a Hetzer, and to bring the rest of her team.


Name: Alexandria Lucido
Age: 16
Appearance: Here, when she doesn’t cut her hair
Favorite Flower: Cherry Blossom
Favorite Tank: Maus
Favorite Subject: Physical Education
Hobby: Hopeless flirting
Bio (Only about two sentences): Alexandria, Alex to her friends, was always a close friend of Alanna, and Yukiro, growing up she often playfully teased the overconfident, self-proclaimed leader of the group, Alanna. When Alanna invited her to do Tankery she was skeptical, until she was reminded that it was an all-female sport, in which girls spent all day in hot tanks, sweating. Mind imagining their tank exempt for some reason she volunteered for the loader position, using her superior physical strength to offset the Hetzer’s awful design. Constantly she achieved lower loading times than her opponents, and during their first match she was able to help repair the track, earing the unique distinction of being the only one not to complain about the weight. When she learned they were going to a new school, she was overjoyed, though her mood fell slightly when she learned they were still going to have to be in the cramped Hetzer.


Name: Yukiko Smith
Age: 16
Appearance: Here, as is
Favorite Flower: White Rose
Favorite Tank: Panzer II
Favorite Subject: Art
Hobby: Painting
Bio: Yukiro, adopted by the American family on the carrier, made friends with two girls, Alanna and Alexandria, in the 2nd grade. Unlike the other two, she was a great deal more social with other groups, thus she had a weaker bond with them then they had with each other. The three of them still made a great team, when she accepted the tankery invitation from Alanna. In exchange for her acceptance she was able to paint their tank, painting a small fish on the front-side of the tank, despite their team name being Kappa. When invited to the other school like Alanna and Alex, she was sad compared to them, though she is determined to keep in contact with her old friends, and make new ones here.

Bio: Born in Genoa, Italy, Neomi is a happy and energetic girl, who is everybody’s friend. She is loyal to her friends, and generally gets along well with others. However, she has a bad habit of bottling up her true emotions and instead putting on a brave face. She can also be spacey at times, and is easily distracted. Neomi was allways intersted in tanks and millitary history in general. As a result, she joined Sensha-do as a freshman at Anzio. Neomi was the one who convinced her friends to join Shensha-do, and is the heart of the team. Because of Anzio's poor record in tournaments, her team is not well known, but her team had an exceptional kill record thanks to it's use of the Semovente 75/18, one of the best tanks at Anzio.

Stormhound
Team name: The Visigoths
Tank: Carro Armato M15/42

Name: Lupa Smith
Age: 16
Appearance: Image
Favorite Flower: Dandelion
Favorite Tank: Mk VI Crusader
Favorite Subject: Arithmetic
Hobby: Arts & Crafts, History, Tank designing, Reading sappy and cliche romance novels
Bio (should be roughly a paragraph since this is your main character):
born into an upper-middle class family, Lupa had a fairly average childhood, passing elementary school rather easily. When she was twelve, she was responsible for an accident that resulted in her grandparents' barn being burnt to the ground. While no one knew it was her, Lupa was wracked with guilt and anxiety.

When she started attending Reiver Academy, tankery had not yet been revived, the sport falling into the pages of history at the school. However, the student council president, and granddaughter of the founder, decided to begin plans to revive it, trading in some of the old, dusty, lackluster Shermans, excluding one M4 and a Jumbo, for a more diverse arsenal.

In school, she found out that Wolf, a student she knew from back home, was also attending. Their meeting was awkward, and she didn't appreciate the encounter as much as Lupa did.

Overtime, Lupa met Erika, a British exchange student who was trying to muster up the courage to join the debate club; and Edda, an immigrant from Rome whom she literally bumped into while going to the restroom. Edda's cheery personality unnerved Lupa somewhat, but she was happy to meet a kind soul.

The four acquaintances became closer and closer, although Wolf resisted the effort to befriend her, eventually she joined out of force of habit. When tankery began, the four were reluctant to join, but the benefits outweighed the risk. The next day, they attended the first meeting and were given an Italian tank, a M11/39. Their assigned name was the "Dog Team."

The tank meant for three instead housed four and was cramped as a result. Surprisingly, the first match they were in, a practice round, they managed to survive long enough to take out another team, one with a Semovente 75/34. At the end of the battle, only the M11 and a T-28 were left, and the two ended up knocking one another out.

They participated in several battles, moving up the tiers of Italian tanks, before reaching the Carro Armato M15/42. It was during that time that they came up with the team name Visigoths, after a ferocious round with several Panzer IV's. The Academy even made it to the nationals, winning three rounds. On the second one, the Dog Team's crowning moment of badassness, they received a letter inviting them to a new school.

At first, Lupa considered burning the letter, not wanting to disappoint her friends, who she came to view as family. However, Erika convinced her otherwise, and she brought it up at a meeting. In a surprising twist, the other teams and student council were supportive and a tearful Lupa swore to make them all proud.


Name: Wolf Brown
Age: 16
Appearance: Dark blonde hair, braided, oceanic blue eyes, pale skin, 5'6
Favorite Flower: Nightshade
Favorite Tank: KV-2
Favorite Subject: History
Hobby: Reading, guns, fighting
Bio (Only about two sentences): born in a violent household, with a particularily traumatic childhood, Wolf learned early on that might made right, and took the pain and frustration from home out on her fellow students, browbeating them to get what she wanted. However, she loved school and followed her teacher's orders, earning extra credit for carrying out assignments. She took to athleticism fairly well, and got good grades.

Eventually, she went to an academy, where she met one of her fellow students from a previous school. While she was initially cold to her at first, eventually she warmed up to Lupa, and agreed to sign up for tankery with her.


Name: Edda Evola
Age: 15
Appearance: stocky with dark brown hair, olive skin, almond eyes, and an aquilline nose.
Favorite Flower: Hyacinth
Favorite Tank: Carro Armato P40
Favorite Subject: Science
Hobby: Sketching, reading, and collecting miscellaneous objects.
Bio (Only about two sentences): the daughter of Roman immigrants, Edda had a hard childhood, but was raised to take everything in stride and to laugh. Because of her over-enthusiasm and tendency to laugh for absolutely no reason, her companions tend to view her as dull. However, Edda is possibly the most intelligent of the Visigoth's. She was the one who suggested the name, after reading a history book to find a name, thinking it reflected the other three's Germanic heritage. She was also the only one to express joy that they received the Carro Armato tank.

She has two half-sisters, Laura Lorenzini and Sophia Graziani, both attending an Italian themed school. They can understand her just about as much as the Visigoths. Take from that what you will.


Name: Erika Schwartz
Age: 15
Appearance: (Pic.)
Favorite Flower: Lily
Favorite Tank: Cromwell
Favorite Subject: Grammar
Hobby: Brewing tea, writing letters home, tinkering with electronics, and sleeping.
Bio (Only about two sentences): an intelligent and mischievous, but lazy, girl since childhood. Erika was known for getting into more trouble than she was worth, though as she got older, she matured and become more responsible. While Lupa and Wolf lead the group, Erika is the mediator between all four of them, and encourages Edda to make her views clear to the rest of the group. She is also the one who stands up to Wolf the most, and the only one the gunner is truly afraid of.


in the national championships, the Visigoths' fellow tanks were incapacitated by a group of M4 Shermans, leaving the M15 alone against three other tanks much larger and stronger than it. The four Visigoths put their heads together, with Edda formulating a plan. Performing a quick hit and run, they surprised the Shermans, who gave chase. The arena was marshy, and forested, and the M15 was easily hidden. The three tanks didn't realize that the Carro had lead them into a muddy part of the arena, and their tracks began to sink, trapping them. Wolf proceeded to gun them down from a nearby hilltop, securing the second victory of the Reiver Academy.

Name: Hotaru Fujioka
Age: 13
Appearance: Short,
Favourite Flower: Poppy
Favourite Tank: Tank, Cruiser, Comet I (A34)
Favourite Subject: English
Hobby: Cooking
Bio: Raised by renowned anglophile Kouta Fujioka, Hotaru has developed a deep respect for British culture and food. Her father runs a company which localised media for Japanese audiences. Living in relative comfort for most of her life Hotaru was free to pursue her interests which included European history, Scottish art and above all cooking leaving her no stranger to hot and cramped spaces. Hotaru prefers her sister’s company and had made few friends before coming to Tomio Hara and insofar that has not changed. She does have a wickedly cunning side honed through years of prank wars her father.



Name: Sayuri Fujioka
Age: 13
Appearance: Identical twins, they are. She will usually have a pair of headphones on however.
Favourite Flower: Sunflower
Favourite Tank: Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf. L "Luchs"
Favourite Subject: Music
Hobby: Collecting Beatles memorabilia
Bio: Sayuri is quiet, sensible and intelligent enough to succeed academically without a great deal of effort. Often wrapped up in her music, when she does interact with others beside her sister she is concise and frank. The only thing that can rouse her from her usual mellow temper is comments on her height or music taste. She maintains this calm even through the most challenging of manoeuvres.


Mizuyuki
Team name: Nova
Tank: M4 Sherman

Name: Kirigaya Mikoto
Age: 15
Appearance: Here
Favorite Flower: Chrysanthemum
Favorite Tank: Panzer IV
Favorite Subject: All science subjects, particularly Physics
Hobby: Playing the violin, collecting figurines
Bio:
    On the surface, Mikoto is your normal happy-go-lucky, genki girl. Born to Japanese parents in Hokkaido, Mikoto has always been the alpha, the one who is always at the centre of attention. Despite her popularity and the adulation of her peers, Mikoto was secretly lonely during her years in primary school, and intuitively felt that her so-called friends were only using her as a means of gaining recognition and popularity. Thus, she harboured a sense of suspicion towards almost everybody - only her family members were able to earn her complete and implicit trust. It was not until she graduated and met the one she considered to be her first true friend, Akiho Kanata, that she began to be more open and trusting of people. It was Mikoto who managed to convince the team to join tankery. Mikoto has above-average academic performance, and has been rather capable on the sports field ever since she met Akira and Miiko, who each favoured sports of their own and would invariably rope them in for matches and training. Variously known as Miki-chan, Mikoto-chan and Mikoto among her friends.


Name: Misaka Mana
Age: 15
Appearance: Here
Favorite Flower: Japanese Camellia
Favorite Tank: Panzerjäger Tiger (P)
Favorite Subject: Physics/History
Hobby: Kyudo/Archery, Karate
Bio:
    Mana was born to a family with military pedigree, with her father being a colonel in the JSDF and her mother a daughter of a former air force lieutenant general. She was, of course, expected to eventually serve in the army, following in her father's and grandfather's footsteps, and Mana's father started to bring her up for the purpose of easing her into the Japanese military once she reached military age. After she learned to walk, Mana was given a paintball gun by her father, who would encourage Mana to join in the weekly family games of paintball. Mana learned quickly and was able to hold her own against her more capable and experienced family members at the tender age of 9. Once she graduated from primary school, Mana was selected to attend a special military training camp that was open to the offspring of active military personnel, and thanks to her upbringing, was awarded the Golden Rifle award for best marksman during her time at the camp. Mana is a generally reserved person; however, she tends to open up to people who she is close to, such as the Nova group. Is a tsundere, and even has her own fanclub formed by her adoring fans. Has a weakness for cute things, but is prevented from showing her affection to them due to fear of embarrassing herself.


Name: Reizei Akira
Age: 15
Appearance: Here
Favorite Flower: Lotus
Favorite Tank: Type 1 Chi-He
Favorite Subject: PE/Chemistry
Hobby: Experiments - especially with explosives, kendo
Bio:
    The heir of a respected kendo dojo back in Japan, Akira is a 3-dan kendo practitioner. However, this is only due to the stringent rules regarding progression - in terms of ability, Akira is already at the level of a 6-dan practitioner, thanks to her family's special Reizei-ryu. Her kendo has made Akira a good athlete; however, she is also not lacking in her studies. Akira is pretty much ahead of everyone in her class in chemistry, which she became interested in after watching her mother mix some healing salve for kendo injuries. She has since turned her attention to conducting experiments with explosives. Unfortunately, her experiments are what the school board apparently consider "arson", thus Akira has been banned from using the school's facilities for her experiments. Akira now focuses her time in school on her kendo practice and schoolwork - she conducts her shady activities back in the safety of her rented house. Without the knowledge of her landlord, of course. Regularly acts as a tsukkomi in the group's daily life.


Name: Akemi Miiko
Age: 15
Appearance: Here
Favorite Flower: Gladiolus
Favorite Tank: Type 95 Ha-Go
Favorite Subject: No particular favourite
Hobby: Baseball, football (soccer), reading
Bio:
    Not unlike Mana in terms of personality, Miiko is viewed as the strong, silent type out in public. However, she is actually a person with a heart of gold - Miiko loves cats and can't resist taking in strays, regularly prepares bento for her team members, and is unhesitant of helping those in need. Some call Miiko the "sane" one of the Nova team, as she is widely viewed to be the only remaining person in Nova who doesn't have a few screws loose in her head. She is very humble despite her academic excellence, although English seems to be her Achilles' heel. Befitting her image, Miiko also excels in sports, with representatives from the baseball and football clubs desperately stalking her in order to persuade her to join their clubs. Ironically enough, Miiko opted for the shogi club, while at the same time joined tankery together with her trusty friends.


Name: Akiho Kanata
Age: 15
Appearance: Here
Favorite Flower: Dahlia
Favorite Tank: M4 Sherman
Favorite Subject: English
Hobby: Lazing around, sleeping
Bio:
    The shirt in her pic pretty much says it all. Kanata views herself as the top dog wherever she goes - be it in tankery, racing Mana and Mikoto to the cafeteria for lunch, or trying to grab the last veal sandwich from the lunch wagon. Comically enough, she somehow contrives to fail spectacularly in almost everything of the sort. An exceedingly lazy person, Kanata will try to take a shortcut every time she has a goal, and invariably her shortcuts and tricks designed to lessen her workload backfire on her. The undisputed comic character of the group, Kanata is able to bring a smile to Nova's faces with her ridiculous antics and behaviour. The boke in the group, and regularly gets hit by whatever item Akira has in hand at the moment, usually a shinai. Underneath her silly demeanour, Kanata is actually capable of buckling down and working hard, and is capable of great feats such as cramming all night for an exam, only to score better than everyone else, including Miiko. This has made her the butt of many jokes of the Nova team.


Monfrox
Team name: Молот (Molot)
Tank: T-34/76

Commander/Gunner
Name: Elena Pavlova
Age: 16
Appearance: Here
Favorite Flower: White Rose
Favorite Tank: T-34/85
Favorite Subject: Russian Language
Hobby: Military history
Bio:A descendant of a Russian soldier; Elena finds solace in the hectic battle situations. She is calm and collected, and approaches any problem with caution. She is the captain of the school's chess club, and prides herself with being on top. Most of her time was spent reading books about famous generals and battles in the past. She was always fond of her Russian heritage, along with her country's history. It's no wonder why her favorite tank is what it is. But despite her being as she is, she was born with a genetic defect in her left eye that made it's sight and depth perception considerably less than that of her right eye. To combat this problem, she wears an eye patch. Oddly enough, she is heterochromatic as a side effect of said defect.


Loader
Name: Molly MacMillan
Age: 16
Appearance: Here
Favorite Flower: Carnation
Favorite Tank: Cromwell
Favorite Subject: History
Hobby: Building models of tank and airplanes
Bio: Ms. MacMillan left Great Britain to go and study at school. Upon her arrival, there was no denial; she needed something more to do. With tankery out and the book club about, she decided to take up chess. Try as she might, all day and all night, she still couldn't beat the best. With hope in her heart from a little small part of her native British mentality. She'd beat the Russian through her being stubborn and prove her own reliability. So the story goes, and through it's throws, she marches unendingly towards her goal. What comes next is anyone's bet because even she doesn't really know.


Driver
Name: Ashley Patterson
Age: 15
Appearance: Here
Favorite Flower: Lilac
Favorite Tank: M3 Stuart
Favorite Subject: P.E.
Hobby: Softball
Bio: Ashley always liked being active as a kid. She tried all kinds of sports and found that she really liked the old American pastime of baseball. Sadly, she couldn't join because she was a girl, so she decided to take up softball instead. It was close enough for her, and it made her happy. She was very much an American girl, but she didn't get into the original school she wanted so she applied to Tomio Hara instead. Finding that she needed to keep her mind sharp and her body fit, she took up chess and joined the club. She is most definitely not the greatest player, but she works hard at it like the others.


Radio Operator
Name: Gertrude von Luger
Age: 17
Appearance: Here
Favorite Flower: Gladiolus
Favorite Tank: Tiger II King Tiger
Favorite Subject: Chemistry
Hobby: Reading
Bio: Gertrude was not the brightest student when it came to core classes, and because of this (and a nasty run-in with the disciplinary club), she was held back a grade in the school to try her sophomore year over again. She's quick to jump to conclusions as well as anger, but she tries to keep a hold of her emotions as much as possible. She is the newbie on the chess team and still has much to learn about strategy. Her parents are from Germany, and sent her to Tomio Hara, instead of one of the bigger schools because they could not afford it. Despite having bad grades in core classes, she oddly excelled in Chemistry, and earned Advanced Placement in the class.

Team Theme


Finorskia
Team name: Schwarz Baka
Tank: Sherman V Firefly

Name: Yuki Matsuoka-McDonald
Age: 16
Appearance: (Image)
Favorite Flower: Heath
Favorite Tank: Al-Khalid
Favorite Subject: History
Hobby: Hiking
Bio (should be roughly a paragraph since this is your main character): Yuki McDonald is the daughter of Japanese stock broker Ryuu Matsuoka and his wife Shiori Matsuoka. When Yuki was six her father died of a heart attack. Two years later when Yuki was five Shiori fell in love with Ryan McDonald a US army Colonel of Irish decent who had lost his wife three years ago. Yuki having barely known her father had no problems making the switch. She also had no problems getting along with Ryan's own son Wilson, who was two years older than her. Her father managed to get a permanent station in Japan and such Yuki grew up in her home country.

Growing up on a military child can be rough. For Yuki it was both fun and troublesome. At a young age her step brother introduced her to Airsoft, which eventually led to her love of riflery and everything military. When she entered middle school her mother and father pushed for her to start taking up tankery. Eventually she gained a lot of praise from adults for her skills in tankery, airsoft, and other shooting sports. However, she also received a lot of flak from other students for her over enthusiasm about the military and its equipment. Without her step brother around (for he had gone off to highschool) she began to feel quite lonely. There was however one girl who did connect with her. Yew Suzuki who was the daughter of a Japanese mother and Swedish mother who worked at the Embassy. The two bonded in a surprisingly different way than one would expect. They found connection in their love for the outdoors. Soon both were picking up on each others hobbies and they were inseparable. When it was time to move on to high school they went together.

At the will of her father Yuki ended up attending Saunders High. There Yuki was assigned to an M4 Sherman with 75mm main gun. Early on Yuki and her crew proved themselves as masters of ambush and sniping. This earned the crew a place as one of Saunders Firefly crews. The crew then proved themselves as one of the schools best teams in a battle against Pravada. Saunders was loosing and was down to about half of their strength and had already lost one of their fireflies along Kei. Yuki and the two other tanks under her command had gotten seperated from the main force. Yuki and her crew then hatched a brilliant plan. Yuki and her crew painted half of their fireflys barrel white on the bottom with a waving pattern leaving the top green, and then put a white line where the waves ended. This made it so that their tank looked like a normal 75mm Sherman, instead of Firefly, when viewed from a distance. Yuki then sent a message to the main saunders force to draw out Pravada by making it look like one of their 75mm Sherman's was a Firefly. Sure enough Pravada chased after the main force hoping to remove the last of the Saunders tank killers. Yuki and her small force than maneuvered in behind the Pravada forces catching the team in a surprise rear attack. The Saunders main force then turned around and engaged Pravada head on. Because of this Saunders won. It was shortly after this victory that Yuki and her crew were invited to a new school.

Yuki is at many times strict when it comes to operations of tanks or other military equipment, but when it comes to just hanging out she is care free and fun. She has a love for the outdoors and is friendly and good at making friends. She and Yew attracted attention in high school for their abilities to fluently speak foreign languages that were difficult to learn for most.

When it comes to tankery and airsoft Yuki is a calm and collected leader, capable of making quick and tough decisions to pull her team through. Shell follows her orders to the letter, but may improvise while completing them.


Name: Shun Akiyama
Age: 15
Appearance:
Favorite Flower: lots of them
Favorite Tank: Challanger 2
Favorite Subject: Math
Hobby: Marksmanship
Bio: Shun was born into a family with a long tradition of martial arts mastery. As was customary in her family she would begin training at the age of five. Though presented with every type of possible martial art form from hand to hand, to the many different kinds of weaponry, Shun was driven towards one specific art. Archery. Shun had always someone who strove for precision, and in her mind nothing was more precise then landing a perfect bulls-eye with a bow and arrow. So Shun took up Kyūdō, and before long had mastered it. This was met by much praise from her family and she was hailed as a child prodigy. Shun however became board and was not content simply having mastered one art form. So she decided to pursue other ranged martial arts. She first decided to study the English Longbow, but easily mastered that. She followed this up with several different kinds of archery from around the world and soon became bored with all of them shortly after she picked up the bow. She decided at that point to pursue a more contemporary art, Firearms marksmanship. While at first she was pleased by the challenge she again mastered the art, Pistol and riflery. By that time she was just entering high school. She needed something more challenging, something greater. That was when her eyes turned towards tankery. There was her challenge, there was her answer. And so she began looking at schools with excellent tankery programs. Though Kuromuromine would have been the obvious choice Shun fought with her parents not to attend. She was tired of master teaching her everything she needed to know, maybe it was learning from the masters that was causing her to get so board. So she eventually chose the school she felt would have the best tanks for her to learn in, and the least master like teachers. This school was Saunders high.

Shun takes Tankery very seriously giving it her all, with the passion and grace of a true martial artist. Her personality is surprisingly different. When she opens her mouth it becomes obvious that Shun is abrasive and often rude to others, primarily people she sees as inferior to herself or those she doesn't know.


Name: Ren Hayashi
Age: 17
Appearance: (Image)
Favorite Flower: Lichen
Favorite Tank: M18 Hellcat
Favorite Subject: Historical litirature
Hobby: Tutoring
Bio: The daughter of two collage professors Ren's favorite pass time is studying. When she was younger she studied just about every single thing on earth, but she always had a love for history. As she grew older that love for history manifested itself and took priority over everything else. That love for history then soon narrowed itself into a more deeper, specific love. A love for military history. Ren was intrigued by this specific part of history not because of the violence, but because of the complexity. She soon found herself obsessed. She began reading every book she could, watching every documentary and movie, reading every paper or essay on the matter. But it eventually grew beyond simple fascination. She began to collect uniforms, weapons, replicas, models, anything that would connect her to her favorite topic of study. Her room became lined with battle maps, historical flags, and large scale pictures. Her shelves were covered in models and dioramas of every historical age. In one corner she had a display case with an authentic Japanese uniform with a rifle, pistol, and knife. She owned a sword rack, and a rifle rack, as well as a large collection of replica air soft and boffing weapons. It wasn't long before Ren began to take part in local milsim activities, often taking the role of an officer or general. When she entered high school her parents enrolled Saunders. It was here that she discovered the greatest thing in her life, Tankery. The chance to get a hands on experiance with an operational peice of military history was to great, and so she instantly signed up. Her parents where very supportive off this action, especially when they got word on a collage level historical essay she had written on the M4 Sherman. Despite her love of history however Ren still loves other topics, and she is well versed in all subjects. She studies hard and manages straight A's on every assignment she is given.


Driver
Name: Akira Nakamura
Age: 16
Appearance: (Image)
Favorite Flower: Black lily
Favorite Tank: Conquer
Favorite Subject: Math
Hobby: Reading
Bio: To put it simply Akira Nakamura is board with life. Not in a depressing suicidal way, but more of a life is simply boring sort of way. Akira was born to average parents of average income, in average town. In fact there is nothing about Akira that isn't, average. Nothing that is except her gift for being naturally intelligent and smart. This combination led her to her present state. It was at a young age that Akira discovered she was simply better than everyone else at just about everything and she barely needed to study or practice to do so. This of course made everything from chess to homework, very very boring. It was at this same young age when Akira learned one simple fact. That the majority of the people living in the world around her lacked simple common sense. It was soon after this that Akira decided that speaking to people was simply a waste of energy since the majority of the time they would either not listen to her, or not understand what she was trying to say in the first place. So with every passing year Akira became more and more board. Thus Akira's loner attitude, avoidance of people, contently board and some what arrogant appearance, and her almost incessant silence, led her family and most of the people she even slightly new to believe that she was both shy and extremely depressed. Neither of which were of course true. Akira of course did not tell her parents of this because they two were average people and average people never listen to someone especially when they are adults and the person speaking to them is much younger than them. This of course led to her greatest problem ever, her parents sending her to a school with people who would most likely do nothing but annoy Akira. Much to her surprise however this decision of her parents, made entirely without her consent, would change her life forever. The day after the entrance ceremonies into Saunders a two girls approached her out of random. Now Akira had learned that it was against most peoples common behavior to approach a sad looking, quite girl sitting by themselves. These two people must be anomalies and Akira became quite intrigued. This fateful meeting would land Akira her first friends since, well ever. This would also start her on her path to becoming a tank driver. Something which Akira did not find boring for Tankery was not as simple nor as predictable as simple chess or any of the other games she used to play. Thus Akira was no longer board with life and she had her own group of friends. Friends who are probably the only people in the world that Akira talks to on a regular basis.


Name: Yew Suzuki
Age: 16
Appearance: (Image)
Favorite Flower: Yew flower (yes her favorite flower comes from the same place as her name)
Favorite Tank: S-Tank
Favorite Subject: Science
Hobby: Medicine
Bio: Yew's mother was a Swedish embassy worker by the name of Beatrice Johansson, worked for the Swedish embassy in Japan. It was hear that she met her husband Kyou Suzuki, a Japanese colonel and liaison to the embassies and US military bases. Soon after their marriage they had a child. Yew. Named for the cancer healing tree, Yew is just as much a healer. She quickly took an affinity for medicine and helping people. She met her best friend Yuki in elementary school and since then they have been inseparable. Yuki and her brother even got Yew into airsoft, and Yew became a staple member of the team as their medic. The same could be said for tankery. At first Yew's mother was put off by the girls obsession with airsoft and tanks, though her father found it quite amusing, and was worried it would put her daughter off the path of becoming a doctor. This couldn't have been further from the truth. In fact airsoft and tankery made her want to study medicine even more. It became her goal to become a combat medic so that she could treat those who most desperately needed it. Her love of tankery and her devotion of to her friend, meant it came as no surprise to anyone when she enrolled in the same school as Yuki. It was also no surprise that she got in, her grades being what they were. Yew herself is talkative and friendly, but also likes to play pranks and practical jokes on people, as well as make puns. All of which tend to get boring and corny after a while. Her staple joke is a play on her name and is always made when she is introduced to a knew person. As far as tanking goes shes always checking to make sure downed teams are all right and will, if necessary, climb out of the tank to render first aid assistance. She also takes her job as radio operator seriously, and if necessary to hide a communication will speak in Swedish, the other tanks having translation books.

Age: 18
Appearance:Image
Favorite Flower: Sunflower
Favorite Tank: Stug III
Favorite Subject: Government
Hobby: Tutoring
Bio: Kath was born and raised in the farming sector of an american supercarrier, much like the rest of her crew, where she gained a down home view on the world. She knows the value of hard work and was prone to helping on the farm where she was needed. Due to there still being a limited space in the farming sector, she grew up very close to the other families that worked there. All of the families tended to help each other out and thus all the kids played together growing up. This is how she met Martha, Sue, and Barb and the rest is history.

Her kindness and generosity quickly earned her a reputation of being motherly through middle school and her time in high school. She's known to be kindhearted and sociable, able to switch from being the motherly leader to the laid back farm girl that she is. She's proud of her heritage, and plans to use it to help her with her plan of teaching the exact same types of girls she is competing with in Sensha-Do. She hopes that it helps her to better prepare them to be functioning women in the world.

Appearance:Image
Favorite Flower: Apple Blossom
Favorite Tank: Covenanter A13 Mk.III
Favorite Subject: Physics
Hobby: Drawing
Bio: Susan grew up with the rest of team Hazzard in the Rural area of an american carrier. She was less prone to doing the heavier work and instead chose to stay back and work in the gardens. She preferred the more controlled nature of the gardens as opposed to the field or livestock. She had also enjoyed drawing especially with pencil with its elegant precise lines and structure, it has helped her in her gunning causing her to be extremely precise and effective.


Name: Martha Braddock
Age: 18
Appearance:Image
Favorite Flower: Daisy
Favorite Tank: Panzer VI Tiger
Favorite Subject: Music
Hobby: Tinkering and Repair work.
Bio: Martha grew up as the girl that was more interested in her dads car and farm equipment than her brother. She would spend hours watching her dad fix different vehicles and picking up the tricks of the trade. As such shes just as much the teams repairman along with being the loader, she is sometimes even able to make hasty repairs while still in the field. Working with heavy tractor and combine parts has made loading shells a cake walk for her, making her a more than capable loader.


Name: Barbara (Barb) Abram
Age:18
Appearance:Image
Favorite Flower: White Lilly
Favorite Tank: A-32
Favorite Subject: Math
Hobby: Stargazing
Bio: Barbara's parents had planned on her taking part in her local school's Sensha-Do team, and as such she was slowly taught how to operate the farm machinery so long as her father was there with her. This made her comfortable when she finally got behind the controls of her first tank, and made her a quick learner. She and Martha naturally became close friends due to their repairman, operator relationship. If the tank she's operating is capable of a certain maneuver, she can do it. And if it cant well that's why she has Martha.

Team Crowning Moments of Awesome

Postby Monfrox » Sun Jun 16, 2013 4:22 pm

It was the semi-finales match and Saunders was loosing bad. Pravada had caught the team in a surprise attack and split the Saunders forces while inflicting heavy casualties. 50% of the 75mm M4 Shermans were gone, along with both M4A1 76(W)s, and one of their three M4A4 Sherman Firefly's. On top of this the main Saunders force was in full retreat going north east while Schwarz team and three M4s retreated north west pursued by three T-34s and a T-34-85. Yuki ordered her team and the tanks that were with her to retreat to a large rock formation where they quickly turned the tide on their pursuers at the loss of one of their own tanks. It was Akira who then suggested that they move in behind the main Pravada force for a flank attack, this idea quickly being followed up by a unique camo patter that Ren had learned from a book. With the help of their fellow crews Schwarze team painted their tank barrel black and white in a waving patter halfway down the barrel to the end. This broke up the shape of the 17pndr gun and made the tank look like just another 75mm tank from afar. With their preparations complete the three tanks set off. They sent an encoded message to Kai by means of Yew's Swedish. Which in all honesty confused the heck out of the teams leader more than it did informer her of the plan. And thus with both sides completely unaware of what was about to happen the Burakkuraidā launched their attack. At first Pravada paid little mind to the the pathetic attack at their rear. They saw only three 75mm M4s shoot futilely at their flank, believing that the the enemies only Firefly was still in the main pack and in the retreat. That was until Shun scored direct hits on both the enemies KV-2 and IS-2. Thrown into disarray and forced to address the sniper fire from behind them (which promptly took out an SU-100) Pravada was force to break of their chase and move into more defensive positions. This allowed the rest of the Saunders team to loop around and go on the counter-offensive. Eventually Pravada was forced into a rocky mountain ridge with limited maneuverability. The team moved their flag tank high up the mountain in order to keep it safe, but as it was traveling it met with another one of Shun's deadly shots. The skill and ingenuity that Schwarz displayed was rewarded by letters of invitation to Tomio Hara academy immediately following the finals.



At their old high school, Fuji-ha was easily the best crew of a very under-performing team, and gained a reputation for being tenacious and always turning the tides of battle before succumbing at the last moment, as well as several nicknames, the most family-friendly of them being "fujimi no chi-ha (the immortal Chi-ha)" or Fuji-ha for short. In particular, an elimination battle against Pravda saw the rest of their team destroyed within almost no time flat, but Fuji-ha was able to stay alive thanks to Tomoe's unpredictable driving and destroy all but two of Pravda's tanks single-handedly before finally being destroyed themselves. A flag battle against Saunders saw similar results: despite being alone with their flag and grossly outnumbered, they destroyed every other Saunders tank before narrowly being defeated in a point-blank shootout with the opposing flag tank. Despite these results, the team was disbanded after failing to win a single battle, at which point Tomio Hara offered Fuji-ha a place on their tankery team.



Now sit down right there and I'll tell you exactly what it was that Team Hazzard did that earned them a spot on the Tomio Hara Sensha-Do team. While their team was in a quarter-finals match against a team of Russian tanks, team Hazzard in their Stug III were posted atop a small cliff that overlooked a key route of the battlefield. After they had hunkered down in the brush just before the crest of the hill, each of the teams seemed to go off fighting their own battle leaving Hazzard to sit off by their lonesome. To the outsider it looked like they'd been ditched. But as the skirmish carried on Kath heard nothing but talk over the radio about how no matter where the rest of their team went they couldn't find the opposing team's flag tank. It was also starting to get fairly quiet in their area, a little too quiet if you know what I'm talkin about. Kath popped out of the top hatch of the tank high enough to see over the top of the hill leading to the cliff. She grabbed her binoculars and surely enough not even five minutes later a T-50 with a small blue flag began to roll down their lane with a T-34-85 drafting close behind as back up. Kath continued to watch as the T-50 skirted along the open area and paused under the exact same cliff that team Hazzard was hiding atop of. Kath hopped back down into the tank and told her team about the flag tank directly beneath them. They all looked at each other, each with the same idea in their head. With nothing more than a group nod, Barb pulled the tank back a bit to get a bit more room to gain speed. She gunned the engine and pushed to get all that she could out of the engine. They continued to slowly gain speed 'till the tank jumped from the cliff. The rear half of Hazzard's Stug ended up coming down squarely on the front end of the light tank, smashing most of the frontal armor as well as the barrel. Turns out those light tanks ain't very good at having a 24 ton tank dropped on 'em. While it also left Hazzard with both treads trashed and their engine damaged Sue still ended up able to take a single shot at the rear of the T34-85 scoring a key hit as the white Damaged Flag popped up simultaneously on both it and the T-50 flag tank.
(Now for theatrical effect go back and read that Moment of Badass in the voice of the narrator of the Dukes of Hazzard.)



After leading their team to a narrow victory in their match with the Maginot Girl's College in the National tournament, they were matched with Anzio. At the beginning of the match, their whole tankery team was lured into a trap, half of their tanks being knocked out. Currently outgunned and outmatched, since the only ones left are their light tanks, with two M22 Light Tanks and two M24 Chaffee Light Tanks, they fled. Knowing that they will lose if they don't handle the situation correctly,Team Kōha was sent to flank by themselves in order to stop Anzio's pursuit, with some hesitation, they tackled the task. Due to their tank's superior speed, Team Kōha managed to flank them in a few minutes, allowing the team to sit at 500 meters away.
First, the team began to pick off their Fiat M13/40s and L3/33 Tankettes, without much trouble, even though they were using a 37mm M5, taking carefully aimed shots to their backs. This only lasted about 8 minutes, claiming a total of half of their forces, before the remaining Anzio tanks diverted their attention to them, four 75mm guns aimed at the M2A4 tank. But that was quickly countered by the arrival of the remaining tanks from their team, knocking out them out swiftly, the Chaffees mainly doing the work. Their morale high, the remaining tanks spread out to search out the flag tank, unknown to them, that it was Sevomente 105/25. It took them five minutes, before they actually found the flag tank and attempt to knock it out, but they were at a disadvantage, due to the SPG sitting behind a small hill. Knowing that the M24s were the greatest threat to their victory, they were the first taken out once the sights laid on them.
Wanting to finish this as soon as possible, they took it to themselves again to take it out, using their superior speed to flank it yet again. The SPG unable to turn fast enough to shoot the M2, Team Kōha went around to it's rear side, exposing it's arguably thinner armor and fired an estimated of 5 times to make sure it was taken out. This caused them to win........... Although it was short lived, as they fought against Kuromorimine, where they were subsequently taken out by the JagdTiger.



In a Total Annihilation game, the Visigoths' fellow tanks were incapacitated, while the other team still had three left. The four put their heads together, with Edda formulating a plan. They proceeded to perform a quick hit and run, fleeing after firing on one of the tanks. The three tanks gave chase, not realizing that the Visigoths had lead them into a muddy part of the arena, and their tanks were stuck in the mud. Wolf proceeded to gun them down from above.


Team Molot was noted of their performance during a game against Pravda Girl's High School in the winter. Until that game, they were under the radar and generally were taken for just another tank team like all the others. However, during the winter engagement, team Molot used a camouflage/diversionary tactic not yet seen in play. They gathered info on the Pravda team's paint schemes for their T-34s and proceeded to disguise their own tank as one of them, with only their team emblem differentiating them. They successfully disorganized the entire Pravda tank platoon, scoring knock outs on three tanks before the team imploded and began firing on it's own tanks out of confusion. At that point, Molot team circled around and knocked out the flag tank, sealing their school's victory single-handedly.

Having plenty of people who know about the show would definitely help, its just more people with knowledge of the GuP universe. As far as what's allowed in terms of tanks, I believe its anything made before the end of World War II. For the most part I was looking at the different vehicles from World of Tanks as my main resource, but that doesn't mean there isn't more that are out there.

You're going to want to put a limit on tanks. Otherwise people are going to be starting out with the best tanks of The Second World War. Also, if you need any info on WWII tanks, ask me. I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to tanks. Especially from WWII.

No prob, part of the limit would no doubt come from which school we go with but even then the number is still pretty large.

Basically its an anime about a girls school that studies Sensha-do, the art of the tank, and it teaches them how to be proper women in society. It's mainly a comedy anime with a sprinkle of history.

While It'd definitely be interesting to read, considering that the competition is about teaching girls how to be ladies that's gotta be a pretty feminine group of guys. Or they're really looking for a woman.

I'd say limit it to tanks from 1942 and before.

I am interested in this but I see one flaw in the idea, a flaw which has kept me from doing a similar RP. Though RPing as an individual role could be entertaining, wouldn't it cause a whole lot of one line posts. Understand that I think the idea for a GuP RP is great, but it is something you should consider. \

Furthermore...Why would anyone want to play the loader? I feel that it would be the most boring and repetitive role (and I'm pretty sure its why Red Orchestra 2 allowed you to take all tank positions except the loader).

Maybe if everyone RPed a whole team instead, and the RP just consisted of a bunch of micro threads for each round of a competition.

If I recall the whole thing about it teaching them too be ladies was a punch of propaganda bullshit created by the SC. There have also been a multitude of fanfics done where guys also did the sport, just saying.

Finorskia is right that it was a propaganda video about it teaching them to be ladies. Link to said video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lyl4UwXxTWc
However as far as consistency with the Girls und Panzer universe goes it's for the most part a girls sport. I do like the idea of RPing an entire tank crew cause I had thought of how bogged down it would get. So long as everyone is okay with roleplaying around 3-5 different characters we can do that.

i am fine as long as i can RP a male team (with a female or two maybe.)
edit: or maybe a girls team with a male commander? that could be funny.

I wouldn't have a problem with that personally, I kinda do that already in most of my RPs. If we wanted we could also have everyone RP a single character inside a tank and have that be the main cast. Those are the characters that we develop and the rest serve the same purpose as in the show, to fill the team roster, as well as to give the players something else to do.

Very possible, and since each of us is rping the other teams they have a bit of a chance for some development as well.

Hm. could be interesting. Well I look forward to whatever it is you do, though I suggest either we all collab to RP the members of a whole team, or we each take on the roll of RPing a whole team in a competition. If you try to do a little of both it would get very confusing.

Whatever you decide to do I look forward to it.

I like the idea of each of us RP'ing our own tanks/tank destroyers/assault guns. That way we won't have to rely on other characters just to drive a few feet.

Though it could get confusing having up to 5+ characters. So could we(unless necessary) only use the tank crew as a tank crew and not have to use them outside of matches?

Possible, considering that most of the tank crews are usually part of the same clubs and act nearly the same I don't see why we couldn't do either. I wouldn't think it'd be too hard to rp characters that all act similar right?

Well no but.. Some tanks require a large crew. I'm just saying that being up to six different people can be difficult.
