I'm game with either.
I just kept thinking of names until something came to me, now just to finish the backstory.
Quick question.
Wealth is something I'll assign when the RP starts dependent on background.
Belwall.
Any specialties or flavors to their shenshado team?
Seaside and Mountain Forest specialty, using Lend-lease tanks.
Sounds like fun, though I'd probably roll for a Medium tank. Any particular tank you want?

GIRLS & PANZER
- Have you been on a senshado team? What was that team good at?
- If not, what team do you like best? What's their specialty?
- What strengths do you bring to our team?
- Which nation's tanks do you prefer?
- What type of tank do you like?
- What is your favorite tank?
Welp. Guess I finally caved in. I'm now beginning to work up material for a potential Girls und Panzer game. As usual, this will be run on theFate Core system, with homebrewed armor-penetration mechanics. The players will be part of a smaller, underdog school in the GuP universe, traveling abroad to meet the famous teams in the heart of Sensha-dō. It'll be silly, competitive, and hopefully a lot of fun. I edit my own maps and intend for the game to be strategic and competitive as much as light-hearted and crazy (seriously, have you seen the movie?)
- Be a Student for a Sensha-dō School
- Play an Individual Tanker
- Light-Hearted Antics with Tanks
- Customized Tanks with minimal Player Crunch
- Post Every 2 or 3 Days
- 4D6 / 4D3, Modified Fate SRD
Character Creation!
Role: What do you want to do in the tank? Some tanks need a crew member to pull double duty.
Team: Has your character been on a Sensha-do team? Which ones? Provide a name and brief description of each team and their specialty.
- Tank Commander: In charge of the general care of crew, spotting targets and coordinating the crew. They generally don't fire weapons or drive themselves, although they may if you have no other crew.
- Gunner: Lob shells, spot targets, and are second in command when the TC is absent.
- Loader: Shove shells with Physique, spot tanks, fix mechanical issues, cook, and generally keep the tank running.
- Driver: Steer the machine and take care of the tank during downtime. On some tanks, like assault guns or casemate tanks, they also aim the main weapon.
- Radio Operator: Operate the radio and sometimes fire a bow-mounted MG. Usually the commander does this on late-war tanks.
Aspects: High Concept & Trouble + 3 Phrases (Optional) Your high concept is a "Elevator Pitch" that sums up your character in a few words. Fate Points are used to Invoke Aspects.
Fate Points: 3 (Barring extra Stunts)
Refresh: 3 (Barring extra Stunts)
Physical: Physique-Based
Morale: Will-Based
Wealth: Using Wealth Stress, determined by GM after profile is submitted.
Consequences: 2-4-6. Leave Blank. Physique-Based
Skills: Great (+4)
Agility: Athletics and the traditional Fight element balled up into one. Scurrying around places and throwing objects like smoke canisters would fall under Agility.
Cooking: This skill involves cooking, but also chemistry and pyrotechnics, like tweaking a recipe for propellant (highly against the rules, by the way!)
Connections: This skill is an amalgamation of Contacts and Resources from the default list. It is used when reaching out to old friends, inventing new NPCs, and has limited use for acquiring extra resources or hard-to-find items. It is more personnel-oriented than Resources and does not reflect wealth.
Electronics: This is the other half of the Craft skill, which involves electrical repair, tinkering, and use of the radio or communications devices.
Scout: "Scout" involves pathfinding and outdoors-y activities. To a lesser extent it can be used for obseving something, like Notice but it's primarily used with an ourdoors / survival context.
Physique & Will: Having points here increase your character's capacity for Stress. Physique is for Physical Stress, Will is for Morale Stress. The mechanics behind stress and consequences will be described later on.
1-2 = 1 Extra Slot
3-4 = 2 Extra Slots
5 = 1 Extra Minor Consequence
Stunts: 3 Stunts.

- Use the Stunt Generator.
- Be mindful of The Horrors of Fate Stunts; TL;DR just ask.

I strongly prefer if the profile is posted in its own post and without spoiler tags or quote boxes.
This thread is just serving to gauge interest from people. I haven't put down the work on maps or tanks yet, so I thought I'd make this Interest Check early on to see what the possible player count would be like. I'm very much open to suggestions and discussions with what people would like to see. Tanks, uniforms, school "theme," geographical location, what sort of gameplay and teams you want to see. The plan is for players to be individual characters within the various tanks, though they can buy NPCs using the pet / companion system. So you won't have to juggle a million NPCs all the same tank.
Here's a sample of some tank stuff I've made. I'll add more as I complete it:

We'll probably start with some basic early WW2 stuff, Stuarts, Valentines, Matildas, BTs, maybe the odd medium or heavy. You'll be able to buy new tanks and upgrade them, anything historically possible and probably a few things that didn't happen in reality.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them here, or contact me on my Discord.

Well that's a fun roll.
Sorry, I flubbed that Arvin. I meant 4d6 or 4d3, the usual stuff. Go ahead and reroll.
The skill list in the OP still lists Resources and Contacts separately.
