Inter Div RP Extraordinaire!

[devon]

Hey Gang,

 

So I've got some exciting news. Today, it is my duty....nay, my privilege to present to you a new Inter Division RP between the beautiful ladies of the Tower and us Warders. It's a pretty simple set up, but it should make for a great deal of fun. We'll get this rp started at some point over the weekend, so get ready for fun!

 

Background: With the world in constant states of war, and with the outcomes of battles increasingly dependent on an armies use of the One Power, the commanders of the Tower Guard and Amyrilin have decided that the Guard needs to be prepared for in the likely case that the One Power is used against them as a weapon. To that end, the White Tower has called upon Aes Sedai to unleash the power upon the men and women of the guard in order to acclimate them to the new horrors of war.

 

Warders: You will be lining up in battle formations and marching across an imaginary field of battle outside of Tar Valon. Your goal is to stay in formation as much as possible, although this will most likely not be possible. You will be led by _______, who will try to give orders, but whether or not you follow them in the heat of the moment will be up to you. You will be safe from dying, since the sisters are beholden to the Three Oaths, but injuries are a different matter. Expect the ground to erupt, air to be used as a club, and any other nasty tricks the sisters can think of to slow you down.

 

White Tower: You have two options to choose from. You can be a part of the channeling force, doing your best to slow the advancing Guards while not killing anybody. Any sort of trick you want to use is acceptable to slow/disorient the guard.

You can also march with the Guard, doing your best to negate the channeling of the other sisters, while at the same time providing healing for the wounded. You can only defend and heal in this role and may not go on the offensive.

 

This rp will end with the Guard making it to across the field. Creativity (but not god-moding) is encouraged in this free form battle rp.

Just a reminder that this is going on! Come join us in getting blown up!

You know I haven't used my trainee character in a while!!!

I'm going to have Torvus among the archers!

 

How is our battle line organized btw? Is it one big line for simplicity?

Is it several lines like a roman or medieval army with different troop types in each?

Also, who is our leader? I suppose you're using Commander Mia devon?

 

There's some good idea from Valorian about his two characters representing attackers (renshai) and defenders (thunder on ocean?) which makes a lot of sense for heavy/light infantry, though in this case I think our traditional battle line is going to get screwed all up from OP "attacks".

 

I know there's probably lots of pikemen/billmen/halberdmen/spearmen as well as shield and spear/sword, as well as

foot archers and other light infantry.

Anybody in the cavalry or are we doing this entirely on foot to minimize risk to horses?

I'll try to head up the archers with Torvus then, and

Visar can be just about wherever.

 

I have a good idea for people that "die" (like they're sprayed in lots of earth simulating that kind of weave that would be a killer), what if they have to run "out of bounds" and start back over? Or just try to keep going and being out of some sort of formation is the "death"?

 

I'll go ahead and post as Torvus :D this is going to be fun ^^

and posted as Visar. I'm gonna already bring in an element of cheating that should be fun and controversial. I draw inspiration from Patton, who cheated in his exercises too.

Excellent! And everyone else feel free to join the party!
