    The Antisocial Alpaca
    A Warm Introduction to Our Hellish New World
    * * *



    ​
    A long, long time ago - Humans, have naively wondered upon a seemingly innocuous possibility: 'Are there other beings like us? Somewhere within this vast and seemingly endless expanse of void and stars?'

    The answer?

    Certainly, yes.

    Yes.

    We aren't all alone out there, after all.

    But is that something to be happy about?

    In 1967, we have made first contact. Humanity will later learn the hard way that it was far better being the only intelligent life. These aliens; these disgusting and ruthless monstrosities quickly proved to be hostile to humanity.


    ​


    Dubbed the BETA: The Beings of Extra Terrestrial origin which is Adversary of human race, what would be called the 'Lunar War' ended in a costly and bloody defeat in 1973. The moon had been taken.

    But worst has yet to come. . .

    The Kashgar Incident - within the same year of the 'Lunar War', had sprung forth; heralding the humble beginnings of bloodier conflicts and human tensions. The BETA have successfully invaded our precious Earth.

    Nominally, we would've nuked them 'em to hell.

    Just like we did with the Nazi's. However, the BETA, had something only Hitler could have a wet dream about. Lazers. It didn't matter what type of bomb, or jet, or plane. The era of air superiority ended with the advent of the laser-classes.

    As such, we needed to approach these beastlies' differently.

    TSF.

    Or, Tactical Surface Fighter, leave it to Americans to save the day. As long as it suits their interests. At first, it was something like tank when it first came out in 1974. Now, it's like a low flying fighter jet. Better hug the ground then fry like slow roasted goodness, eh?

    And without further ado; we're skipping to the main point. . .

    It's 1996, and things aren't looking any brighter.


    ​


    The BETA are still rampaging, and we, humans, still can't get our fucking shit together. We're in desperate need of heroes, now, more than ever. As such, congratulations!

    . . . Now, now, don't give me that look.

    By recommendation no less; you have been personally selected to be part of our UN Taskforce, Atlas. What does that exactly entail? We'll begin with the daunting and rather industrious task of retaking BETA infested Europe.

    Good.

    I hope your ready, soldier.

    The TSF:​

    TSF (Tactical Surface Fighters) were first deployed in 1974 by the USA. TSF, despite their far from conventional designs. Were highly instrumental in wars against the BETA. The F4 Phantom, The grandfather of all TSF, as pictured above, is a 1st Generation TSF. The Current generation; after 22 years of continuous development and evolution, is the 3rd Generation TSF.

    I'm interested in this!

    Let me do a bit of digging on tsf's and I'll throw up a character sheet.

    EDIT: How familiar with muvluv should I be for this?

    (I've marathoned animes before simply so I could be in an RP set in a specific universe, I just need to know how much rl to set aside.)

    Alright, how's this? Note that I'm notoriously bad at making Fate CS's, so let me know what needs to be fixed.

    Background:
    Soryn has been in the fight for a long time, or so he says.

    He is a veteran of a couple engagements, and has survived most by simply brute-forcing his way through things, or forcing them to try(and fail) to brute-force their way through him.
    This is how he deals with BETA, and most aspects of life in general. Is a devout communist.

    Aspect #2: loyal to a fault

    Stunts:
    #1: Blind Rage- may use fight in place of another skill while in combat, once per combat
    #2: "it's not broken....yet."- may auto-pass a repair test while in combat. After the combat is resolved, that repair test is counted as failed. May only do this once per combat. If another repair test is required during this combat, both tests are immediately counted as failed.

    Background: One of Iryna's earliest memories was of being a 3 year girl being bundled aboard a miltray helicopter as her and mother and younger sister fled the burning city of Sevastopol as it fell to the BETA advance in 1980. Her father was a high ranking member of the Soviet Air Defence Force so he found refuge for his family in Soviet allied Libya. She lived in Tripoli for the next 2 years before her father was re-deployed to the UN Yukon Base as part of the Soviet lease of Alaska. Here she lived for the next 11 years in the Soviet Colonies in Alaska. However she felt more at home with her American neighbours then her Soviet home, fulling in love with the Yankee culture and slowly become more and more anti-Soviet. With alarm her father enrolled her into the Soviet Officer Academy. Although a rebellious element she found her nack as a TSF pilot. By the time she graduated at 18 she was attached to a UN unit due to her "cultural understanding of Western nations".

    My very much WIP sheet, put up because it's time for bed and I wanted to point out that we have a triumvirate of Soviets. Except this one is a classic commissar.

    BOS (Branch of Service): Air Defence Forces (V-PVO)
    Rank (NATO): Lieutenant of Aviation, OF-1
    Gender: Female
    Age: 29

    Appearance: Jelena is a petite strawberry blonde who keeps her hair in a long braid. She has wide-set green eyes and porcelain-pale skin. Despite being shorter than most, she seems to look down her nose at almost everyone.
    Background: Jelena is a flight officer and a political commissar of the Soviet Air Defence Forces, a separate branch of the military from the Air Force (VVS) that is actually considered of higher priority despite being less heavily involved in frontline combat. Her duties include intelligence gathering and "maintenance of morale" among the troops.

    TOP GUN INTENSIFIES

    Name: Peter "Maverick" Mitchell
    Nationality (USA, China, Japan ETC): USA
    BOS (Branch of Service): USN
    Rank (NATO): LT
    Gender: Male
    Age: 26

    Appearance: Some people say he looks very much like Tom Cruise. He's certainly handsome enough.
    Background: He's been in the navy a while. Dad died in Vietnam, and since then his blood's been hot enough to get him into a load of trouble. He's cooled off a little since he went through Top Gun, found a mentor figure in Viper, but he's still true to his name, a Maverick. And he doesn't ever intend to change.

    High Aspect: Loose cannon pilot with everything to prove!
    Trouble: Dammit, this is the last time! Turn in your badge, you're off the force!
    Aspect #1: Best RIO, best friend.
    Aspect #2: Never tell me the odds!
    Aspect #3: A mentor in Viper.

    Skills:
    Skill +4: Pilot
    Skill +3: Shoot, Will
    Skill +2: Provoke, Athletics, Fight
    Skill +1: Notice, Physique, Rapport, Drive

    Stunts:
    #1: You can be my wingman, anytime: Use Pilot rather than Rapport in any Overcome roll when fighting at their side or in a shirtless volleyball game.
    #2: Holy shit, it's Maverick and Goose: You can use Provoke to defend against Fight attacks, but only until the first time you're dealt stress in a conflict. You can make your opponents hesitate to attack, but when someone shows them that you're only human your advantage disappears.
    #3: I'm going to hit the brakes, he'll fly right by!: If you succeed with style on a Fight defense, you can choose to inflict a 2-shift hit rather than take a boost.

    TSF Stunt #1: I feel the need for speed!: You can coax more speed out of your vehicle than seems possible. Whenever you're engaged in any contest where speed is the primary factor (such as a chase or race of some kind) and you tie with your Pilot roll, it's considered a success.

    Rank (NATO): LT
    Gender: Male
    Age: 28
    Appearance: Some people say he looks very much like Anthony Edwards. He takes the compliment in stride.
    Background: Standard story really. Join the Navy, marry your wife, have a kid, get sent to Top Gun, pass with flying colors. Though sometimes, when Goose thinks about Top Gun, he gets chills down his spine. Like he's already dead and someone's walking on his grave.
    High Aspect: Support RIO just along for the ride.
    Trouble: Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me?
    Aspect #1: Best friend with no restraint.
    Aspect #2: A RIO is basically a wingman, 'cept he doesn't fly.

    #3: Lock-On!: Once per conflict, stack an additional free invoke on an advantage you've created.

    2nd. LT? Wait we're all green graduates from the Academy, or butterbars I think the lingo is?

    If we weren't all going to die like flies before, we sure are now. What was the expected lifetime of a rookie TSF pilot operating under laser present battlefields again? Eight minutes of death or something?

    Still working through the FATE rulebook here.
