Kantai Col: Terror From The Deep. (Interest Check)

[Lustful Bride]

The year is 2025, and the world's oceans have generally been regarded as a peaceful place, even if war threatened one part of it the seas, there would still be safe waters on another. Most of the world depended on the trade routes of the sea. Massive Cargo, Container, and Tanker ships ferrying goods, resources, and commerce from ports all over the world. However, if those lines were cut off, most of the modern world would suffer. The economies of all nations were all some how linked by the oceans. It was a known fact, but many chose not to see this potential weakness. A weakness that a mysterious enemy of Humanity would exploit.

For the past three months all known shipping routes used by cargo ships have been under constant siege, entire ships left as burning wrecks floating in the ocean or sinking beneath the waves. No survivors had ever been Recovered from the wrecks, whatever was attacking the ships was being very thorough, and using weapons which burned gaping holes in the ships, sometimes straight through to the other side. Needless to say, every country soon began suspecting the others of some kind of new weapon testing and attempting to disrupt world trade for unknown reasons. It wasn't until the enemy made themselves known that the world realized it was an old foe once believed to be gone. The Abyssal fleet has returned, and with them, they brought weapons beyond Man's understanding.

The year is now 2028, and Man has been losing a battle against their old foe. The advance weapons the Abyssal Fleet carried decimated Man's navies, and Air-forces. It looked like the world was on the brink of ruin. Yet, Man had one more card up its sleeve. A mysterious organization stepped forth from the shadows. They called themselves; XCOM. Their Mission had been to protect mankind from threats that descended from the heavens, but even they were blind to the threat from the sea.

XCOM, an organization that answered to no government, made from best, and brightest. They remembered, they were the ones to remind the world of whom defeated the Abyssal fleet in the past. The brave young women whom inherited the fighting spirits of the great warships of past eras. The Fleet Girls. Now the call has gone out to all nations of the world, to send their Ship Girls to Xcom so that together they can fight off the alien/Abyssal fleet alliance and stop the alien invasion.

Though little do they expect, not all enemies come from the stars or beneath the sea.

--------

So this is a Crossover between one of the original Xcom games "Terror From the Deep." and the anime/manga. "Kantai Collection" Not that much knowledge of either group as things will slowly be explained over time though it would be preferred if some info was known about one or the other.

I will be the GM for this rp along with Mac84.

Players can play any Ship type (Battleship, Aircraft Carrier, Destroyer, Cruiser, Submarine.) so long as it does have a Real world Counter part. (Exception: Levi for GM, and Story purposes). Technology limited to WWII-Era to prevent Overpowering/story effect. As technology develops, different weapons becomes available. Human personal roles can be played after Fleet Girl positions are filled.

Open to all Nationalities. (US, Japan, German, England, Etc.)

Name:Classified, but answers to Levi. (Short for Leviathan.)

Appearance:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Class: Multi role: As an artificial Ship girl and first of her kind she is able to both augment her weaponry and crew compartment to be able to carry the artificial minis similar to the ones that pilot carrier girl's planes. Levi is able to both carry minis (Dubbed Aquanauts) into combat and is also able to engage in combat with enemy ships, though not as effectively as she likes to believe.

Allegiance: Solely to X-com.

Personality: She has let the fact of being the first artificially created ship girl go very much to her head. She has developed a strong spoiled streak and rebellious attitude, looking down on the other ship girls and thumbing her nose at them, calling them obsolete due to them using older model Outfits where as hers is made specially for her. Despite her spoiled attitude she still takes her job seriously and swears allegiance to Xcom, almost to the point of obsession at times. Sometimes even a small part of her wished that Xcom would replace the obsolete nations of the world because at the very least XCOM always gets results while the other nations fetter around with politics.


Bio: Originally a pilot for the Raven Interceptor fighter craft used by X-com, Levi was a good pilot who along with several others engaged a small flight of several alien UFOs in the Indian ocean, only to be attacked from below by Abyss ships. The broken and flaming wreck that had once been her fighter crashed into the ocean and she ended up getting spinal damage from that failed mission. After being recovered by a rescue team, her body floating in the ocean, she was taken to an Xcom research facility where they made her an offer after some surgery. The offer was that she could either get an honorable discharge and go home a hero with full benefits (which from Xcom meant she wouldn't have to work another day in her life.) or, she could sign up to risk her life on an experimental procedure to turn her into a ship girl.

The experiment carried with it the risk to paralyze her completely, rendering her like a vegetable for the rest of her life, or completely repairing all the damage done to her spine and turning her into the first artificial ship girl. She didn't even wait for them to finish before she signed on the dotted line with what little strength she had at the moment.

After a full 14 hour surgery the process was a success and she had become a Ship Girl, able to take blows that would vaporize most humans and survive depths and heights that would kill unaugmented people. After a month of intense physical therapy and daily visits to the healing tanks she was ready to go and combat aliens with the new equipment granted to her by xcom.

Howdy Y'all!

Guess I'll give it a go!

Name: Arizona. (Ari for short)

Appearance:


(Avatar Ship)


Class: Pennsylvania Class Battleship (American)

Allegiance: Her friends

Personality: Ari is generally quiet, and reserved. Yet she can be very warm, and motherly to those she cares about. A hard worker, and has a strong sense of Duty.

Bio: When XCOM came to her, This young woman was very surprised to find out that she inhertiate the soul of the Naval Battleship, Arizona. She heard of these "Fleet Girls" in history classes, but never dreamed that she was one of them. It was this time that her mother revealed that she was indeed, Arizona's great, great, great grand-Daughter.

At first Arizona didn't want to do it. She wanted a nice quiet life. However, thinking it over. She realizes that she has been given a great gift. A gift she could use to protect those that she cared about. So she agreed to Help XCOM with their fight against the Abyssal Fleet.

* is dragged into this somehow* Oh dear. Guess I'm here already so yeah... 

[Lustful Bride]

Yay Hi Sessha! ^_^

[Mac84]

Howdy sess!

[rikka]

Expressing tentative interest in this.

[pendarious]

well I'm here too *looks at cruise liner that left without him* damn vacation ships not giving a damn whether or not you make it back from a tour of a place before taking off.....*grumbles*

[Mac84]

*Turns the cruise ship around to pick Pend up!*

[Lustful Bride]

just an FYI the missions in Terror From the Deep where you have to save a cruise ship of civilians from the aliens are always the worst.......I find this hilariously ironic. 

[Lustful Bride]

Hooray for a new ship. *looks at the two character so far*

We are on our way! 

[rikka]

Name: Datu Sikatuna (aka Maria De Guzman)
Appearance:



Class: Destroyer
Allegiance: Philippines, U. N. and eventually to XCOM
Personality: Sika tends to be shy and hard at expressing herself toward others.  She is however a very optimistic person, seeing only the good in all things whether situations or people.  She however thinks the Abysmal Fleet is dangerous threat to the world and that she’ll do everything in her power to help in putting a stop to them.
Bio: The Philippine Navy was defunct and all but in name only long before the Abysmal Fleet declared war on humanity’s oceans, but it was through that incident that it would make its own contributions, although minimal but contributions nonetheless, to the world’s survival against the otherworldly menace.  Its own Fleet Girls. 

Maria De Guzman was one of the few candidates that made it to the Philippine’s Fleet Girl Program and was designated as “Datu Sikatuna” - a Cannon-Class Destroyer that was formally known as the U.S.S. Amick that was transferred to the Philippine Navy after World War II.  She goes by the name Sika when not being formal.

Like many Destroyer-Class Fleet Girls, when they transform to their warship avatar forms, Sika carries a smokestack-like backpack.  Flanking at either side of her hips is a miniature replica of an Mk 1 Twin L/60 Bofors 40 mm gun for anti-air targets.  On her right hand she holds an Mk 22 dual purpose gun while strapped on her left arm is a 3xMk 15 torpedo tube launcher.  Finally, on both sides of her lower legs are Mk 6 depth charge projectors each holding four depth charges, to be used against underwater enemies.

[Lustful Bride]

Maria: Accepted. 

[pendarious]

Name: Howe (Her birth name is Helen Everston)

Howe

Combat pack

King George V Class Battleship HMS Howe

Class: King George The V Battleship

Allegiance: The Royal Crown of Britain

Personality: Howe has a quirky personality at best....and a twisted one at worst. She is much as her appearance would suggest rather charming and even "Prince-like" when it comes to social affairs or anything that could effect the reputation of her home country however when she isn't trying to up hold Britain's image she is a rather fun loving and friendly girl with a bit of a trigger finger. Under that though she can also be rather cunning and cynical.

Biography: She didn't have much of a childhood considering that she was known from birth to possess the spirit of HMS Howe and was thus sent to the Royal Naval Academy where she was trained by the Admiralty itself in all matters of tactics, discipline, and dignity. She is among the top of her class and holds her country in the highest esteem. Her opinion of "Fleet Girls" from the united states of America is that they are equals and should be treated with the utmost respect however she is much less kind to "Fleet Girls" of the British colonies believing that they are of a lower class and should respect those who hail from the King Country. Furthermore she has a healthy respect for Japanese and German "Fleet Girls" considering the troubles that they gave the British in the past.

She has come to the XCOM base solely because the Crown ordered her to do so and frankly believes that XCOM should simply shove off because they are just "Some Upstarts with too much time on their hands" According to the First Lord Admiral. The only other reason is that they will receive a pay bonus to send back to her family.

[Lustful Bride]

Howe is now accepted. 

Also if you want more ways for her to insult Xcom they also heavily border on being nothing more than mercenaries since they are actually paid by the countries they save/protect. I like to compare them almost to the French Foreign Legion to give some reference.

[Sessha]

 Yeah but unlike the French Foreign Legion the Xcom can ACTUALLY do things. 

[Lustful Bride]

Yeah but unlike the French Foreign Legion the Xcom can ACTUALLY do things. 

And has copious amounts of lasers. 

[rikka]

So Fleet Girls will eventually have access to laser weapons, missiles, and launch UFO fighters? Sounds like the mechanics of Naval Ops: Warship Gunner 2.

Eventually there will be Gauss guns, Sonic cannons and other cool technology to upgrade the ship girls.

What the Carrier girls might eventually be able to launch.

 So I've decided I know exactly what this fleet need! It needs it's own Tsundere Heavy Cruiser! After all it wouldn't be some of ship/girls game without some kind of Tsundere Heavy Cruiser!

I have that Game, and I LOVE IT! I love building custom ships, and Submarines! I've logged over 200 hours on it, and I still have not unlocked everything!

Second Character for consideration:

Name: Musashi

Appearance:


Battle-Outfit:


Avatar Ship:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Class: Yamato Class Battleship

Allegiance: Undecided

Personality: Musashi can come off as Brash, but it is because she very nervous about in inheriting the Title of "Musashi". Deep down, she is a very caring person. (WIP, may Change)

Bio: Musashi was originally named Yuki Shinohara, and grew up in a small coastal Japanese village. She, and her family had no idea that she was the descendant of "The" Musashi. When the Japanese government came, and pretty much ordered Yuki to duty. Not surprisingly she was scared, and reluctant. She was from a quiet family, and she had no dreams of grandeur. She decided to do this cause she knew that she could help protect her friends, and family. 

[Avalon29]

I'm in.  I have a light cruiser and an aircraft carrier in mind for the game if you're fine with me having multiple characters.

[Lustful Bride]

Accepted and feel free Avalon.
