    Ohara Airworks
    Start Up, Imperial Capital, Akitsukuni

    Owner
    - Mr. Ohara, Rich. Aircraft Enthusiast. Business guy.

    Engineers

    Kibe Koume, 26, Office Manager
    Tiny & angry, Kibe went to school in Albia, picking up the language, the religion, and a fuckload of swear words. Speaks Albian.
    Mechanical +2, Ballistics +1
    Office Manager: If Kibe is not assigned to a team, the Office Stress is reduced by 1.

    Sakane Jun, 26, Second Team Leader
    A soured patriot, Sakane is married and has a young child being raised gender-neutrally. His two brothers who fought in the war.
    Structural +2, Aerodynamics +1
    Team Leader: If there are any additional projects, Sakane will lead them.
    Joinery: Sakane has training in the traditional Akitsukuni carpentry art of joinery, creating complex self-supporting joints with no fasteners or glue. When working with non-monocoque wooden spars or ribs, +1 Structural.

    Tezuka Kenji, ???
    A stoner with occasional flashes of insight. Nobody really knows what he does, but he's probably useful?
    Aerodynamics +2, Chemical +1
    Flashes of Brilliance: Each natural 10 rolled by any team Tezuka is assigned to gives +1 forward to the next research roll.

    Hasegawa Morio, 26
    A hopeless nerd with a photography habit, mostly on account of developing his own film, Hasegawa seems to do nothing but work and stack card houses, but somehow has an incredible attractive boyfriend. Speaks Gallian.
    Chemical +2, Ballistic +1
    Silent Workhorse: Hasegawa can work on two different projects at once for no cost to Office Stress, providing they use different stats.

    Kawamura Yosai, 25.
    Serially successful womanizer and incredibly attractive, Kawamura doesn't seem to have much of a personality outside of seducing women. Well, except for that time he seduced Asuka, which nobody talks about. Speaks Dyske.
    Structural +2, Electrical +1, Social +1
    Easily Distracted: If Kawamura is working on the same team as a female or non-binary employee, the team is at -1d10.

    Koide Hatsu, 24.
    One of the few female graduates of an Akitsukuni engineering school, Koide is brilliant and incredibly driven, but her first job at Akibara was both humiliating and exposed her to an abusive coworker. Her father is a rich businessman with factories in Joseon, and she's engaged to Ken from Castles of Steel. Speaks Joseon.
    Mechanical +2, Structural +1
    No Sleep: If you let her, Koide will work herself to death. She can work a second project for no Office Stress, but all her stats will be reduced to 1 for the routine.

    Kobayashi Ayao, ???
    Disowned heiress of the Kobayashi family, all Kobayashi wanted was a career and to be a modern woman. For her trouble, a cousin threw acid on her, scarring her face, neck, much of her torso, and her left arm. Despite appearing serene and above it all, she's actually an avowed communist activist and baseball player.
    Aerodynamics +2, Social +2

    Adachi Ren, 24
    Adachi learned chemistry from her father, one of the most famous chemical engineers in the country, rather than through formal schooling. She's married, has a kid, and takes spirituality very seriously. Yes, you did the math right, she had Yuki when she was 17. It's 1912, folks.
    Chemical +2, Electrical +1
    Young Mother: Adachi will cause double Office Stress if she has to work multiple tasks.

    Uyeno Sei, Ballistics Engineer, 31.
    The oldest member of the crew, this is Uyeno's second career. Her first was as an officer in the Imperial Navy with specialized technical training: her very promising career was cut short by her transition. Her work in a naval arsenal on machine-guns landed her the job here. Briefly dated Satomi (the age range is a bit creepy but again, 1912), she's missing a piece of her ear and is deaf on that side, from an exploding cannon. Recently returned from Varnmark from experimental surgery, she's known for her skill navigating gendered bureaucracy.
    Ballistic +3

    Mi Kyung-Jae, 23
    A recent graduate of the Imperial College of Heijo, Mi is from the recently annexed territory of Joseon. For those keeping track at home, that means he's a Korean national living in Imperial Japan in 1912. We haven't seen much of his personality because he's rightfully terrified of everything around him. He has a specialty in endurance engine design and modification. Speaks Joseon.
    Mechanical +1, Chemical +1
    Endurance Engines: Mi has an excellent understanding of metallurgy and tolerances. Any engine he works on gains +1 Reliability if a 16+ is rolled.
    Pulsejet Wizard: Mi is now one of the world's leading experts on the pulsejet engine. He can be given his own project to custom-craft pulsejet engines, and he gives +1 to any pulsejet-related project.
    Joseon National: Mi does not have security clearance to work on any top-secret projects.

    Miyoshi Shigeri, 23.
    A non-binary person and admirer of Asuka's work, they were in an support role in the Army before joining the company.
    Structural +1, Mechanical +1, Aerodynamic +1
    Mechanic: Miyoshi has some experience repairing and refurbishing aircraft. They get +1 if assigned on the clean-up phase.


    Other Employees
    - Ohara Satomi, 22, Mr. Ohara's niece and the company test pilot, Ohara is a general lesbian disaster. She's good at flying planes, driving cars, and kissing girls. She's bad at being patient, being respectable, and sticking to literally anyones conceptions of gender roles. Deeply in lesbians with Coralie D'Amboise.
    - Fujkikawa Sotatsu, old, modelmaker. He's an old man and toymaker and we don't see much of him because he locks himself in his workshop a lot. He's friends with Kawamura?

    Assets
    - Engine Test Rig (Allows engine tweaking and optimization.
    - Wind Tunnel (+1 Aerodynamics)
    - Rapid Prototype Lab (+1 Clean Up)
    Expanded Cast

    Akitsukuni Industry
    - Homura Mohoko: Head Engine Designer for Kobayashi. First female engineer in the country. A lot of sex appeal.
    - Okumura: Head of Akibara aircraft design.
    - Yamanaka Hajime: Kobayashi engineer. Young and eager.
    - Igarashi Masazumi: Kobayashi engineer. Reserved and experienced.
    - Admiral Akibara Toru: Imperial Navy Admiral. Maximum nepotism. Maximum douchebag.
    - Lt.Cmnd Akibara Shinzo: The above's son. A hottie but very forward.



    Character Families
    - Matsura(?) Mizuko: Asuka's sister. Was paralyzed in an accident in Asuka's first flight. Lives Elsewhere and is married now. Can't forgive Asuka, even though she's tried.
    - Adachi Motoki: Adachi's husband, an accountant. Legally blind.
    - Adachi Yuki: Adachi's 7 year old daughter and wannabe pilot. Very adorable.
    - Yachi's Brother: Exists.
    - Sakane's Wife: Exists. Drives him a bit crazy, but he loves her.
    - Yachi's Brother's Wife: Exists. Is statistically likely to be pregnant.
    - Lt. Coralie D'Amboise: Gallian pilot in exile. Satomi's girlfriend. 25. Accomplished bisexual duelist. She flew in the war for a single day, and for her troubles got a hole blown in her cheek and had her left arm paralyzed.

    Akisukuni Army & Ex-Army
    - Lt. Torio Tanaka: Yachi's former observer as an enlisted man. Was jumped up to fly Ducks and lost a leg on his first mission. A trained painter, married to Torio Saya.
    - Captain Amari Shiro: A Dragonfly pilot who ended up flying as Yachi's partner. Kind of delightfully twinky. They sorta slept together at one point, which wasn't great. He lost his previous boyfriend in the April Offensive and turned his plane into a shrine. He was shot in the gut and is still recovering.
    - Major Izuhara: Logistics officer, Imperial Army, this bespectled officer stood up to the Caspian Crown Prince and accidentally kicked off the Akitsikuni-Caspian War. The guilt was so much that, after almost a year of running Army procurement, he shot himself in a phone both.
    - Captain Nakai Sekien: Army scout pilot. First person to drop a bomb from an airplane, later head of the Duck Squadrons.
    - Captain Teshima: A Desk pilot that fought with Yachi. Lost an arm in the process, took over for Major Izuhara after his death. Seems cheery despite it all.
    - Captain Nashio: A real piece of shit dude and probably a rapist, he's also a war hero as the second-highest scoring ace on the Akitsukuni side. He was a young shitty kid in way over his head but it's no excuse.
    - Lt. Kinjo: Kind of a dumb lump and Nashio's friend, one of the desk pilots. Dead at 19.
    - Lt. Okazaki: Yachi's friend from before the war and pilot, he died in a spin in his dragonfly. His death probably hit Yachi the hardest.

    Westerners
    - Rose & Antoinette Sears: Pioneers of flight. Sisters. Black in 1910s not!America. Yikes.
    - Timina Guasti: Famous aircraft designer from Otrusia. Likes big planes and green.
    - Prince Protasov Vasilyevich: Crown Prince of Great Caspia. Real dick. You gotta hand it to him though, a decent flier.
    - Count von Zeppelin: Invented rigid airships. Runs a successful airline business. Damned impressive.
    - Bennhold: Aircraft Engineer. Experimenting with metal aircraft.
    - Aileen Middlemiss: Albian reporter for the Artimis Times. Well meaning and oblivious.

    The Dawn Star reported that rifle production shortfalls had led to an order of 15,000 carbines from Dysklande, but there was controversy because the rifles were smaller models designed for logistics units, and thus by extension were intended to be issued to women. Several companies of soldiers had walked into their trenches with just their bayonets, leaving the offending weapons in the mustering yards.

    Akitsukuni deserves to lose the war.

    Regardless of who's diplomatically at fault, who's got the superior tactics, the best equipment, supplies, whoever's actually winning? None of that matters, the fact that people without guns are so pants-on-head stupid as to not bring a gun in the late 19th/early 20th century means your military has calcified to the point of non-functionality.

    Like holy shit you fucking idiots. If I can use one of my WO's old Sergeant-Major as an example for a second.

    DO YOU SEE THIS DEAD-EYED FUCKING STARE OF DISAPPOINTMENT?

    DO YOU SEE IT?

    YOU HAVE EARNED THIS AKITSUKUNI! YOU EARNED MORE THAN THIS! YOU EARNED AN AUTHENTIC WW2 JAPAN LEVEL OF COMPETENCE YOU FUCKING MORONS!

    No seriously though, I can see reports about officers using connections to complain and shit? But troops in the trenches refusing to use rifles because they don't like the model? That's going too far for any suspension of disbelief, any military that has their soldiers capable of that level of disobedience or are stubborn enough to think like that after any period of trench warfare?

    They'd be a fucking joke, that's worse that 1991 Iraq levels of competence. If our army was legitimately doing things like this the war would have finished months ago with Caspia walking over our defences.

    The guns caught up to them within hours, likely before any of them ever made it to the forward trenches. But yeah, surprise, it's the Imperial Japanese Army. The folks who opened their inductions with "All of you are already dead men", listed their casualties on ammunition expenditure forms, made a wide variety of suicide weapons, and referred to their soldiers by the cost of postage to get a new one conscripted. The guys who would leave their helmets behind because they had specially made belts that were really lucky which would protect them instead. They aren't quite that bad here yet, but they're getting there.

    It's not like the Caspians are much better at this. We're talking about the analog to a country whose army had constant, never-ending problems with mutinies, sometimes right on the front lines. Right up until they did The Biggest Mutiny Of All.

    These are two second-rate powers in the early 20th century working with fresh conscripts and an unfamiliar battlefield. The Caspians hate their government and the Akitsukuni troops love it a bit too much. There's gonna be dumb.

    Basically, the IJA (and the Akitsukuni army that's based on it) run on amor fati rather than on what a Western military would recognize as 'morale.' It's very effective at keeping the troops willing to do literally anything that involves undertaking risk... but it also makes them willing to take stupid risks just to prove a point.

    Western militaries are not entirely without this, though; there's a reason the French Foreign Legion memorializes Camerone.

    The Legion may be in some ways comparable, now that I think about it:

    "You joined the Legion to die. The Legion will send you where you can die!"

    Very much this. We haven't quite gotten to the point where, like the IJA did, the middle officers had basically locked the entire military into a sort of elaborate cosplay suicide pact, where discipline was used primarily to make soldiers feel worthless, but we're tragically sliding in that direction. These protests (and I stress they were isolated protests of a few units) were likely new units of conscripts whose remedial training was mostly like "okay guys get out there and die really cool, okay!", and then they find out that basically, they're being issued... well, they're being issued a gun made for women.

    So, inspired by a few hardcore dudes, they march off with their machine-guns and bayonets singing a marching song and let their senior officers see the rifles left neatly in those little rifle pyramid stack thingies like hey fuck you actually, and made their bosses scramble to get a support unit to pull them all up by wagon and redistribute them at the line. Less "i am going to go die without a rifle" and more "if you want me to use this, carry it for me, because I wont."
     
    Honestly, if the caspians didn't have an abjectly shit military, the army might learn something from this war. As is, it'll probably take an unpleasant mortality rate to make either side vaguely competent.

    So is there anything that we the players can do to influence this, or is it just "Welcome to playing for the idiots, hope you enjoy the looming fascism"? Because if that's the case, a lot of us could get that by reading the news and going in to work.

    I wonder if it would be possible for the empress to make an announcement to the army to "leave the dumb at home"

    It probably wouldn't work for the Navy. They're too big and too prideful for that, but the Army loves the empress. They'd probably do it for her if nothing else.
     
    Heh, no, leaving the rifles behind just shows our awesome technological advantage. There have been some (well, not really serious) arguments that the US soldiers should stop carrying their rifles, because all the electronics they carry are so much more effective at arranging for dead enemies (via air and artillery) that carrying a rifle is just unneeded extra weight. ;)

    Asuka seems to be going along the lines of being a major figure in the military-industrial complex, someone who gets Heeded when they speak up.

    Yeah, it'd be weird if they didn't have some influence, and more to come if they keep succeeding.

    Plus, yeah, a war against a comparably incompetent foe, which'll do a lot to purge the worst offenders, and the remaining cadre will probably learn those lessons well.

    Or what a bunch of hardcore trench raiders/stormtroopers they are. Screw rifles and bayonets, grenades and spades are where it's at*

    To a degree? Yes.

    Both you and your sometimes also PC and also boyfriend Yachi have a disproportionate effect on things. Pretty soon you'll be in a position not just to take contracts but to make aircraft unilaterally and change things politically with them. You also got the seed money invested in what is probably the fastest-growing company in the country, meaning pretty soon you're going to be in World Influence Rich territory. Yachi's performance in your plane will change the war. And you can vote: that's coming up in this arc.

    I'm not saying things are inevitably going to become The Horrible Fascist Nightmare of Imperial Japan (HFNIJ). I'm saying that right now, this is the state that was a precursor to HFNIJ. The ills that would be present in HFNIJ are here already in smaller, more isolated forms.

    But between your votes and your dice, things can go differently. I don't know who is going to win the upcoming election yet: we'll see how the dice land. I don't know where you're going to take the post-war Ohara Airworks. I don't know what kind of Forrest Gumpery you'll get up to in local and international politics. Things can go any which-way.

    But one of the things that's important is that while you have influence, that influence is not absolute. This quest is based on The Wind Rises, and the central message of that movie is that we do not get to choose our circumstance, we can only pursue our art. Jiro Horikoshi doesn't like war. He sees it looming like an oncoming train and he is constantly reminded how it'll consume everything and everyone... but he makes airplanes. He turns beautiful dreams into reality. To chase that dream, he had to work for Mitsubishi and make them war machines, one of which would drop the bombs and start the war that would see his homeland ruined in a few short years. The film uses plane construction as a metaphor for art, in that once you put it out into the world, your intentions are lost against interpretation and you have no real control over the direction or amount of influence it has.

    No matter what you do in this quest, we're entering the turbulent years of the early 20th century. The wind is rising. It's like a hurricane. You must endeavor to live as you are as best you can.

    You know. With money and soft power gained by having a tight grip on the means of modern warfare.

    For example, making a "proper" and effective twin engined long range torpedo bomber to shame the Navy when they ask for hundreds of thousands of tons of steel for easily sunk battleships.

    Probably the biggest effect we could have is to promote less exploitative economic relationships with Korea and China. That would hopefully lead to less invasions, less atrocities, so less international trade embargoes -> less tripling down by attacking the US.
