The Darkest Hour (Reboot) (Open)

Ardente
Name: N/A
Ship Class: de la Penne-class DDG
Ship Name: Ardente



Personality: Ardente is a very caring person. A destroyer through and through, she wants to protect everyone – whether from an enemy, the vagaries of fate or even from themselves. She's just really, really bad at showing this, coming across as arrogant, bossy and generally abrasive.

Quirks:

  • prone to the dramatic
  • idolizes Vittorio Veneto
  • wants to act as command ship for a mission – just like her older sisters
Bio: N/A

History: First ship of a second run of the de la Penne-class destroyers built to replace the ageing Audace-class, Ardente was commissioned in 1994, and has had a rather busy service life: together with her sisters, she has been involved in various training exercises, anti-piracy patrols, joint NATO missions and disaster relief operations.


Likes:
  • being the center of attention
  • card games
  • cooking
  • people who listen to her

Dislikes:
  • fools who put themselves in danger
  • smugglers, pirates and their ilk
  • "fake Italian" food
  • people who point out her obsolescence



Name: N/A
Ship Class:
FREMM (Ita ASW pattern)
Ship Name: Giuseppe Brignole


Personality: Reserved and soft-spoken, Brignole may appear cold to those who don't know her. In truth, she's just an awkward, curious girl who wants to see the world and meet new ships but isn't quite sure how. Quiet does not mean meek, though – people who provoke her usually find she has a mean trollish streak.


Quirks:
  • often unnoticed
  • sees and hears everything
  • tech wizard
Bio: N/A

History: Among the first of 14 FREMMs built, Brignole's service life was rather uneventful. She mostly patrolled the sea lanes and performed search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean. Shortly before the abyssal attack, she had been on a cruise around the world with one of her sisters.


Likes:
  • traveling and seeing new places
  • training exercises
  • helping people
  • listening to music

Dislikes:
  • being put in the spotlight
  • her armament not being heavier
  • loud noises

JS Nasu

Ship Class: Maya Class
Ship Name: JS Nasu
Appearance:
  • Her Rigging is similar to Fubuki's (Kancolle) Rigging, with a More modern Look
Personality: Nasu is a quite, cheerful girl who enjoys her name far too much to be healthy. When she gets angry, she becomes cold and calculating towards everything in the area that has earned her ire. When conversing with people, she tends to be the voice of reason, though not when her Joke comes up (She giggles far too much to be the reasonable person then). When in combat, she gets serious (She doesn't get giggly from the Joke), and does her best to keep herself and everyone else alive, while sinking the enemy (whomever it may be)
Quirks:
  • Mixes up his/her pronouns often, due to her/his situation (Will fade away as time goes on)
  • Frequently sighs at things that don't require a sigh
  • Her name is a pun by whatever threw her into the world, which causes her to giggle randomly every so often, because it follows JMSDF DDG naming conventions, while at the same time, being a pun.
Bio:
  • Thrown into what Alex thinks is a parallel world by.... SOMETHING while playing Fate/EXTRA, Alex takes on the appearance of Hakuno Kishinami from Fate/EXTRA.

Likes:
  • People that get the Joke
  • Confusing people
  • Introspection

  • People who don't get the Joke (Those poor, poor, uncultured fools....)

..... This is entirely outside of left field, and very much not going to be considered a valid answer. I'd suggest changing it, perhaps to the actual USS Nautilus? SSN-571? This boat?

At most, she could have an unusual fascination with the story of the fictional Nautilus.
 
At this point forward I'll be accepting Abyssal Character submissions if desired. Shipgirl submissions will remain open but there will likely be a wait before you actually join proper,
 
What about a Trireme girl? :V
You will get utterly, utterly wrecked - WWII ships, which would literally run a trireme over and not necessarily even notice, are considered "allowed, but not recommended". Only reason I went with New Jersey is that she has a '80s refit that brings her up to "not going to die as soon as guided missiles start getting fired at her", and can theoretically be refitted into a form that can actually provide a pretty potent level of punch.
 
You could play as an Abyssal character then. Maybe she could have a leviathan or kraken-like look to her.
 
While I'm hesitant to consider the sheer chaotic energy of The Final Pam joining this RP, you could most probably just use the normal character sheet.
I just realized that, and while that sounds amazing, I'm pretty sure the Final Pam, if she ever came across this universe, would just destroy everyone, so I'm definitely not using HER. I'm not a monster, after all.
 
USS Halsey
Name: Hailey "Kay" Stewart

Ship Class: Arleigh Burke Guided Missile Destroyer

Ship Name: USS Halsey DDG-97

Appearance: Blueish-Green eyes, glasses, jeans(can be swapped out for cargo shorts or cargo pants), and a sweater,(can be swapped for a t-shirt or t-shirt and hoodie combo) short brown hair. Seems to be in the middle between 5"8-6'


If the pic doesn't work
Just with the changes above

Rigging looks like KC! Johnston's, except a more blocky smoke stack then the Fletcher stacks. And of course missile pods instead of the second and third 127mm/38cal DP guns that Johnston has


Personality:Laid back, Childish, vary affectionate, and Lazy, however usually happy to help, just don't ask for her help when she's busy(playing video games/reading in her free time) tends to get attached to friends to the point of referring to them as siblings, either in her native language of English(US Dialect) or Japanese for reasons unknown, as familiar and scholarly terms is pretty much the extent of what she knows. She's quick to anger, however can cool off almost immediately, usually. She is also prone to psyche herself out, getting nervous over things like preforming in front of people(the most likely to happen) or talking to people she doesn't know.(the least likely to happen)


Quirks:

•Slight temper
•Holds no love for certain ideologies
•Has a love of navel tactics and history of the last century, However believes that modern naval history is boring as heck
•Can get annoyed fast if trying to play a game and gets called away
•Can speak a little French

•Will cuss using every swear in the book, however she's still religious enough to not use a certain one, and will often substitute it
•Often talks to herself, either because she's trying to get her thoughts straight(does this while doing paperwork) or just thinking aloud
•Has a Sweet tooth



Bio:Kay was a normal Sixteen year old dude, well "normal" he lived with his Grandparents for his entire life, and as the saying goes, live with your grandparents long enough, and you start to call them Mom and Dad. He was homeschooled by his grandmother...if only he wasn't obsessed with video games and electronics...Then he found himself in the body of a Destroyer of his home nation. Adopted the nickname "Kay"(pronounced as "Kai") from the first three letters of his old first name.
