Title: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC

Casablanca, November 9th 1942

Liberion launched Operation Torch yesterday morning, coming to the relief of the Free Gallian force trapped throughout their African possessions around the cities of Oran (Numidia) and Casablanca (Morocco).  Barely holding out against the Neuori forces, they've been unable to take offensive action to assist the Britannian 8th Army in Egypt.  The invasion changes things.  Liberion troops are pouring ashore and driving land Neuroi back from the beaches past the outskirts of the cities while the task force's few witches join the Navy fighters (plus a few beleagured Gallian witches) to engage the Neuroi in the air. 

This is where the situation stands; the allies are making steady gains against tougher then expected resistance.  Casablanca remains under siege from a Neuroi force, but early this morning the siege lines around Oran were broken.  Together, Gallian and Liberion forces are advancing against the remaining enemy units in the surrounding desert.  Up the coast from Casablanca at the Rabat-Sale Aerodrome General Alphonse Juin has requested that a small allied squadron of witches be formed to provide better support to the ground troops (and their eventual inward march).

Okay folks, anyone interested sign up here with your witch's profile.

The witch generator categories are a good starting point (make sure you get a time {1942} appropriate fighter), but the following categories should be added:

Code ("Bio Addendums") Select
Rank: Don't go too crazy.  After all there's only one witch general (Adolfina... mmmmm) and any Liberions will have probably been in the service less then a year.
Appearance: Should be self explanatory.
Background/Bio: Character's history and such; keep in mind the time period (1942).[


Other then that I don't have too much more to add.  Make a witch, ??, play the campaign, profit.  This'll serve as our base for out of character discussions and pre-game planning.

Good!  Here's mine.

Rank: Capitaine-commandant 
Name: Eléonore Petrisse
Nation: Belgiga
Service: Aéronautique Militaire Belgiga
Striker: Dewoitine D.520
Weapon: Hotchkiss M1914 machine gun
Familiar: Chatreux
Personality: Docile
Accessories: Smokes
Appearance: A little taller then five feet, brown hair with serious sun damage worn loose, lightly tanned, wears the remains of a Belgian Army tunic and dark blue panties most of the time, typically carries a white parasol on the ground.
Background: From the French speaking region of Belgiga originally, the eldest daughter of a foundry foreman.  She has been in the Air Force since Neuroi destruction of Ostmark and in Africa since the fall of Karsland.  Served in East Africa with the Britannian/Romagnian army, Syria, and in the defense of the Belgian Congo before arriving in Casablanca.  More then a little sun addled now but still a competent witch as far as anyone can tell.

IS DAT SUM SPRING RP?

CUZ IT SURE LOOKS LIEK SPRING RP. =W=

However the generator's material was unsatisfactory, so I scouted teh wiki for better results. SO HERE WE GO!

Also, a note: Witches in general have some sort of magic specialty, no? I think we should include that as well.
________________________


Rank: Fänrik (OF-1)
Name: Inga Krig
Nation: Baltland
Age and DOB: 13½ (born March 15th, 1929)
Striker: Saab J 21A-UX Prototype
Weapon: Bofors 20mm M/40 Akan; Waraxe, Rapier (often in dual wield)
Familiar: Moose
Power: Thermal Manipulation - Able to increase or decrease temperature, as well as dissipate or gather it. She cannot increase it above 100C, or decrease it below 30C (Only target temperature is limited thus, however) - using gathering/dissipation, however, she can manipulate at temperatures far outside those limits. While her magical reserves are quite enormous, it drains quickly when operating over large areas, so she normally avoids it - for example, dousing a campfire drains 2% of her mana pool, while putting out a fully enflamed 2-story house would drain 50%, and tire her further due to the high amount of instant drain.
Personality: Proud/Curious. Prone to going bärsärk when provoked outside battle, however she normally keeps her cool in combat.
Accessories: Belt with heavily gilt, locked notebooks - inside are a complete history of all parameters and details of her Striker prototype, as well as all modifications and adjustments she makes to it. The keys are kept on a silver necklace around her neck. The belt also holds her melee weapons.
Appearance: At 178cm (5"10) and with a well-tuned body, she is quite intimidating - the only part of her looks that betray her youth is her somewhat lacking chest. She has shoulder-length hair of a strikingly golden blonde, worn loose (read: permanent bedhead). She wears a thin white shirt under a blue longcoat in old Karoliner style, the aforementioned belt, and a deeply crimson slitted skirt. Her panties are laced white.
Background: Born in Uppsala, her father was a doctor, who named her in hope of peace (her name literally means "No Wars") - these hopes, however, were ruthlessly shattered soon enough. She has been in the Baltland Royal Airforce for 2 years now, and her academic upbringing and technical ingenuity have made her a great asset to the R&D department of the force. Having mainly worked as an engineer and test pilot back home, she is somewhat lacking in combat experience - her first flight was less than a year ago. What of it she has, however, suggests that she will indeed be a valuable asset on the field - if nothing else, her equipment holds positively terrifying amounts of firepower. Her thermal manipulation ability allows her to stay comfortably cool, even in the stark blazing sun of Casablanca - and the majestic antler crown she sprouts when using her powers give her eyes some shielding from its light.

YES, to Africa we go!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Branch: RAF

Rank: Pilot Officer

Name: Abigail Chandler

Age and birth: 16 - December 11, 1926

Nation: Britannia

Striker: Hawker Hurricane MK I (before December 28, 1942), Vought F4U Corsair (after December 28, 1942)

Weapon: Primary-Thompson SMG w/ drum mag Secondary- Colt M1911 .45 FMJ

Familiar: Ankara Cat

Personality: Impish/Proud, Abigail enjoys playing pranks on other witches (Inga is a prime target due to her being easily provoked). Though when her country or family are insulted, Abigail becomes defensive and threatens others (face turns stone cold, hand on pistol).   

Accessories: Aviator sunglasses

Power: One shot, One kill- Magical energy is stored into a single round within the gun (ability applies to any gun used at the time) causing the round to fire at speeds well over Hypersonic (mach 5). This ability can be used only once every two days and Abigail is unable to fight for 24 hours and is only at minimal magical level by 35 hours, this ability is used only in ex-stream circumstances where the life of Abigail or other witches are in danger.

Appearance: About 5"11 (182cm) with a body structure that is slim yet sturdy, she is commonly confused for Major Miles when her, waist length, brown hair is tied up ,not visible, or has turned blondish from the sun. She sports a white blouse which is worn under a No. 1 Squadron RAF flight jacket and white panties, though, while on ground she likes to wear tan cargo shorts and a brown leather belt.

Background: Abigail was born in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to her Liberion father and Britannian mother and has two younger sisters whom are the ages 13 and 10. Abigail's father was a gifted gunsmith and engineer with much wealth and influence throughout Britannia due to the great deal of rifle designs he had before and during The Great War and building many Hawker Hurricanes. Her Grandfather was also a great gunsmith in Liberion and worked with the Liberion Military and other gun designers to create the Thompson SMG and the Colt M1911 .45 FMJ, the guns which Abigail would use every battle and training exercise. Abigail's father was also a engineer of the Hawker Hurricane MK I, her first striker unit, and the Vought F4U Corsair, her belated Christmas present from her father which both served well during battles and training. Though being highly supported by Liberion guns and strikers, she still has the up most loyalty toward the Britannian Crown and Government and is very sensitive when her country is bashed by Liberion's and Karlslander's. Abigail's goal is to become like her idol, Dolores Bader, and achieve the rank of Wing Commander while showcasing her Father's and Grandfather's Liberion engineering. Before arriving in Casablanca, Abigail flew with Britannia's No.1 Fighter Squadron during The Battle of Britannia in 1940 where she shot down a fair number of neroi even though she was only a rookie sergeant and a flew a fair number of night missions in 1941. She has a tendency to provoke Inga, her squad mate, by playing harmless pranks on her such as switching out the water in Inga's canteen with tea (cheap tea at that) and sand.

Rank: Lieutenant
Name: Celia Baumer
Nation: United States of Liberion
Striker: Vought F4U Corsair
Weapon: Boys .55 AT Rifle
Familiar: Eagle
Personality: Brave but reserved
Accessories: N/A
DOB: August 8, 1925
Appearance: 5'6'', untanned skin, dark brown hair worn in a ponytail, amber eyes, usually wears a khaki navy uniform blouse and jacket, light-colored panties and dark pantyhose.
Background: From a town proximate to Youngstown PA. She is of mixed Karslander and nobody-really-knows what-since-she's-never-talked-about-it heritage. The only witch in her immediate family, she joined the navy in 1941 with hopes that her magic would get put to to good use... it hasn't yet. Operation Torch will be her first experience in combat, and as such, she may seem uncharacteristically apprehensive.

Striker: Vought F4U Corsair

Take note to how I put two models of striker, the Vought F4U Corsair wasn't used until 28 December 1942 while this operation is in November a month too early. I went safe with two but I'll wait for stew to confirm on what you should do.

Welcome aboard to all three of you, and enjoy your stay in la belle Africa.

As for aircraft; Nej is using an experimental Swedish aircraft that wouldn't even fly as an experimental aircraft until July 1943.  How?  Because extrapolating from in series striker use they enter service about a year before the actual airplane their based on does.  Only problem I have with your character using a Corsair is her actually getting it.  We're talking about a brand new unit that the Liberion Navy hasn't even fully accepted yet let alone the Fleet Air Arm or especially the Royal Air For-

(http://i54.tinypic.com/b4u7au.jpg)

Okay you can go ahead and use them.  Both of you and Nej can use your strikers as listed, just keep in mind replacement parts will be hard (impossible) to come by.

(As a historical sidenote the Corsair was taken aboard the CVE Sangamon for carrier qualifications in September 1942 where it was derided by Navy pilots as too rough landing.  The Sangamon would go on to take part in the Torch landings.)

Might I recommend you all peruse this? (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GrandTabletopRulesList)

Hmmmmm, I'm going to play around with an idea in my head for right now and then put it into action during the first battle... It will be interesting how I can play this out.

In the mean time, I'm going to draw my witch!
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: stewartsage on May 16, 2011, 11:20:25 PM
Good luck Doc!

You draw her, pic'll go on the roster.
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: NejinOniwa on May 17, 2011, 02:30:24 AM
On replacement parts. As my character is one of the main engineers for the whole project (aside from combat phase test pilot), she has a limited number of spares stocked, as well as the entire buttfucking load of blueprints and such worn on her person in case she needs to manufacture new ones. She is quite paranoid about industrial espionage, though, so there might be stops if it comes to that. -w-;

And Kraus, boi: Remember that if you're too naughty, Inga won't hesitate to royally fuck you over - King of the Forest and all. And watch out for dat Cold shoulder, too... >:]

Post by: stewartsage on May 17, 2011, 08:49:37 AM
I expect everyone to bring some basic parts with them, and some basic parts can be modified to fit from existing scrapped strikers, but don't expect to find a machine shop to fabricate anything new after November 12th when the Ranger departs for Norfolk. 

If that's everyone, I see nothing stopping us from starting later today.

noice, Bellz.  I did a little quick one myself for Eléonore. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2544832/eleonore.jpg

I haven't drawn in a LOOOONG time, so pardon the random things that don't look right. I was thinking of adding a foregrip to where the tripod is supposed to be mounted.  But yeah.  Design is always up for changes, so have at it. I just have the basic stuff down. I will proceed with another revision with basic colors once I feel satisfied with it.

Also, interesting to note, on the Strike Witches world map, Belgium is marked as Belgiga.

Post by: SleepyD on May 20, 2011, 05:17:34 PM
Thanks Bella~ I only roughly put in the details, but if I spend effort on those things, it can be much much better. :D
Also, I forgot her ears/tail. ^^;; oops. ---stew, since this is your character, feel free to place your input~---

Also, noting the African map in Strike Witches, the northern african nations are as follows:

Morocco, Ouedraogo (took a long time to find this name. rl nation equivalent: Burkina Faso), Mauretania (rl: Mauritania), Numidia (rl: Algeria/Libya), Tunisia, Cyrenaica (rl: Libya), Egypt, Kingdom of Aksum (rl: Ethiopia/Eritrea)

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110320062140/strikewitches/images/4/43/SWWorld.jpg
(Tunisia is seen in the Europe map I linked earlier)

In addition, the capital of Numidia is not Algiers, as in Algeria, but its old Roman name, Icosium.

Post by: stewartsage on May 20, 2011, 09:57:44 PM
Sorry, I completely missed your post Sleepy!  She looks good, especially the details of her head and uniform collar.  The Hotchkiss looks good (nice detail on it and the striker) but there was actually an attachable stock for it (http://world.guns.ru/userfiles/images/machine/mg73/hotchkiss_1900.jpg) that I imagine she'd use.

As for the map: Thanks for the translations!  I never knew if Belgium had it's own name or not, let alone the North African countries.  I'll make the appropriate corrections.
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: SleepyD on May 21, 2011, 09:09:43 PM
Okay, I forgot the animal features again. ^^;;
But yeah.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2544832/Inga.jpg

Nejin, that's a helluva lot of detail and things to put onto a 13 year old body. XD; Made this a lot harder than stew's. heh
And you're gonna have to help me find reference images for that Bofors, cuz I can't seem to find em. Not the sort of images where I could figure how she would hold one, anyway.

As usual, feel free to note any changes you'd like. I'm not exactly well-versed in these things. I didn't draw the axe/rapier in too much detail, I just wanted to know where they were going to be.

And I get better the more I draw someone, so yeah. Excuse the current state of things.
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: NejinOniwa on May 22, 2011, 03:13:50 AM
Ohwowo! Quite looking good there. _W_

And no, the Bofors is an autocannon made for vehicle mounting or turret fire. You're not supposed to hold one. But Inga is a badass (and has MOOSE POWAR), so she does it fucking anyway. Basically it is used as a rapid-fire artillery piece.
It looks something like this:
http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/Bo20T.jpg
or on its AA mount:
http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/Bo20A.jpg

I think you might've missed the skirt, though.
And I must say I'm getting considerable Chiaki vibes from her design. Intentional? ^^
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: SleepyD on May 22, 2011, 03:25:30 AM
haha, unintentional, but yeah, sure, why not?

I made the skirt too short, so it ended up not serving the purpose that a skirt should have. That is, covering the undies. heh Item duly noted.

Yeah, I saw that pic of the Bofors. I was trying to figure out what it looked like in the back. Where the casings come out, where all the little knobby things are, etc. And also how the hell one goes about firing the thing. My perfectionist tendencies can be a bitch sometimes. ^^;
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: NejinOniwa on May 22, 2011, 03:55:56 AM
I've looked around, but I haven't found anything else on the Bofors 20mm's - info is hauntingly rare on all points, really. I'm afraid you'll have to work on what's there and spin off the rest ^^;

The skirt is supposed to be semi-long, but slitted - like the ones designed for riding.
I want to draw now OwO;
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: SleepyD on May 24, 2011, 08:04:13 PM
Myon.

Don't mind the perspective errors or proportions or erroneous details...
I also took many, many liberties with the Bofors, Nej. heh

As always, feel free to chime in on things, as they are your characters.

Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: SleepyD on May 25, 2011, 03:33:46 AM
Yeah I noticed that too. Also long outstretched arm is loooooong. XD;

But yeah, the main purpose of these things is for me to know how to draw them when I get around to doing something more complicated.  Then I'll probably spend the effort to fix proportions and things.
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: NejinOniwa on May 25, 2011, 03:42:00 AM
Wotcher!
As bells said though, they both feel a bit short... (Inga is supposed to be 5"10, after all)
Also, nitpicking, but important nitpicking: THE HORNS.
Inga has a pair (http://media1.vgregion.se/vastarvet/GNM/bilder/1-500/webb/GNM264_1_w.jpg) of these (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f5CxeJ4cD2Y/TNRmwdwNitI/AAAAAAAABC4/4tX7Y1fkbso/s1600/%C3%A4lg.jpg) on top of her head, when transformed.
Otherwise, nice gone, this is getting somewhere indeed! ^^

Also: I think the Bofors should be a bit...bigger. Longer, at least.
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: SleepyD on May 25, 2011, 03:53:19 PM
Horns are usually a male moose thing, but okey dokes~ haha

And I had no room for the end of the Bofors. It went off the page every time. XD The perforated barrel should be at least as long as the other half of the gun

Post by: Dr. Kraus on May 25, 2011, 04:17:02 PM
Wahahaha, Abigail is great but you forgot her Aviators (I guess I never put that she almost never takes them off)! Overall she looks good other than the height, which is 5"11 so a tad taller than Inga (she is pretty sneaky for being tall, eh?).
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: NejinOniwa on May 25, 2011, 04:39:33 PM
The Bofors is a bit big, yes. _W_;

And I was pondering whether to follow biology or the RULE OF COOL in the case of the horns. Understandably, I went with the latter. =w=
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: stewartsage on June 16, 2011, 05:20:01 PM

Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: NejinOniwa on June 16, 2011, 10:54:48 PM
I just realized an important fact:
Since Inga's MOOSE POWAR buff enhances her muscles themselves, rather than helping her lift with magic or so, SHE MUST HAVE SUFFICIENTLY BUFF LIMBS when transformed. Thus: her uniform will always look quite loose when not transformed, and she will seem somewhat hulkish when transformed. Makes the whole thing with lifting the Bofors a tad less surreal-looking, at least. -w-;
As pictured here. Lots of details skipped (like swordaxe and books and shit because I suck and am too tired to draw dat) but WITH HORNS THIS TIEM.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g239/NejinOniwa/Scans-Scraps-and-Doodles/P6170070.jpg
Based on sleepy's render, with added shoulder pad things, rank badge and little flag thingies on collar. Also horns. And those ears are supposed to be a bit folded back. Dunno how that went.

Anycase, disregard any art-ificial shittiness of this design. It's conceptual or something.

Well, since Stew isn't going to be around that much we are kind of at a stand still for right now waiting on him to move the story along...

Would someone be kind enough to move the story along (=ω=)/

Patience, young padawan -_-;

I could make an attempt at breaking the present lull, but I won't do much more than prevent a standstill - the story is stewart's, and his to advance. Is that wanted?

Understood, thought I might get to budge forward a little (=.=)

Don't worry, I'll have time tomorrow or Monday to post.  When I'm not firing cannons or passing the fuck out.

Well, you and Doc are sitting straight in the path of rapidly approaching Neuroi.

In lieu of further action, I shall post again.

Just to get an idea of what you're facing, the real life counterparts to the opponents

'Large' or 'Capital' type Neuroi: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/Naval_Zeppelin_L19.JPG

I might remind you that I wasn't turning my shields off - meshing makes the thing more like a big, forward umbrella-type thing, and as it's concentrated, should be very much capable of taking at least a few hits. As you can see in the attachment, I should be fine unless they get behind me somehow. Revision or action upon the taken course is your call, though.

I suppose we should properly clear things up before making our next moves tho...
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: stewartsage on September 05, 2011, 03:04:50 PM
The way I understood it, from how you wrote it, is that you were putting the shield's power into the sword to use it as a giant magical lance or similar weapon once you got close enough.  Not using that as a projector for a shield umbrella of sorts.
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: NejinOniwa on September 05, 2011, 09:49:24 PM
Giant magical lance, yes. Giant as in big enough to fold up to cover me as well - and, in case of direct oncoming shots (as in shots on the tip of the lance itself) cut through and dissipate them. Believe it or not, but I do have common sense enough not to madly charge without protecting myself. In light of things, though, I suppose I'll have to make more of these paint figures later on.
Title: Re: Strike Witches: Operation Torch OOC
Post by: stewartsage on September 05, 2011, 10:07:40 PM
I was about to say that I thought you'd taken complete leave of your senses.  Okay, next time just describe it a little clearer so I know what's going on.

Sidenote: You're still going to take one hit to the striker and a pounding to the shield; Long Neuroi is Long making it capable of angling shots past your shield.

I've solved things.

You're the more writing-inclined person here, maybe you should do the honors?

Also, it would be nice if we could get Stew in here, he is/was the GM. >>;;;;

Alas, I have the last post in thread, and it involves Inga fainting on the spot.

Can't do much unless I start hijacking other characters. :/

That aside, what I mean is, I need something to use for an excuse for Inga to wake up and start wandering around again, or it'd be somewhat stupid...

I'm a writer too, but I don't want to double post there, especially when I'm not sure if anyone else really wants to play. I'm already afraid that you guys are gonna leave me hanging in that thread. >___>;;;

Post by: stewartsage on February 04, 2012, 11:35:35 PM
Well, considering how this failed to get off the ground due to poor planning on my part, I'm considering a game overhaul if anyone else is still interested.

I'm interested. >w<

Start doing some research and considering character folks, on the same general template as before.

You gotta tell me when you post here. >>;;

I've already worked out some of my character's background, appearance and personality, think I've found a name, familiar that goes with her personality and have a striker unit figured out for her too. Still have to decide upon weapons and the finer points of her backstory though...
