It begins
It's right in the middle of the abyssal war, and one man has been placed in charge of a new naval base on one of the islands of Hawaii. With ship girls ever increasing in number, and more bases alongside leaders necessary to operate in wider and wider areas, this man was put in charge of a new base. Not because of rank, no, but because of something else. Something that can be dealt with later.
Pick one of choice for those who read this.
[] OC
[] SI, if this wins you gotta help me convince whoever.
For now though, he's getting situated in the base. Which is...
[] A normal navy port type of base
[] A castle type of base, because style, and someone else was willing to foot the fee if they could keep it after the war and only had to cover 3/4 the costs.
[] A fortress type of base, well it seemed like a good idea at the time. And no matter how tough/armed it is, there's not many easy ways to expand the place.
[] A beached and modified carrier, things were looking bad for awhile. But hey, all the power of a super carrier as your non mobile base.
[] Write in
After a quick walk through the place, he decides to summon a ship girl. That's a large part of why he was given the place to command.
[] A Japanese ship girl(must be from kancolle or WSG or Pacific)
-[] Any extra quirks or divergences(extremely girly and nice Akebono, plasma-chan(also known as dark mode Inazuma) as normal, Yuudachi with dog features from the beginning, a sub who wears extremely conservative clothing, most anything within reason really)
[] A British ship girl(must be from kancolle or WSG or Pacific)
-[]Any extra quirks or divergences(Rincewind Glowworm, Amethyst the Larper and not chuuni, maid version Sirius, most anything within reason really)
[] A German ship girl(must be from kancolle or WSG or Pacific)
-[] Any extra quirks or divergences(a Z1 whose a drunk, lazy Z16, a U-511 who can never get a tan, most anything within reason really)
[] A US ship girl(must be from kancolle or WSG or Pacific)
-[] Any extra quirks or divergences(Mahan the jock, USS Gearing who is a big fan of some of the vaudeville acts that moved to film, Dolphin the clam motherly sort, most anything within reason really)
Now with the first ship summoned, wait. What are they doing now?
[] Some action for the newly summoned ship girl to do, it's a write in.
- some recommendations: head pats are required, hunger, something in line with their quirks either already there or special to this summoning.
-----
Okay so how this quest will work is there will only occasionally be actions where it controls a character, but in exchange there's control of some normally RNG or environment type things. Like what ship girl is summoned or equipment developed, maybe even which events will happen.
Let's hope this experiment goes well.Though I doubt this will go beyond a week or two.

You should double check if Willie D is actually in any of the three listed sources, if not she likely isn't a legitimate vote, because I don't think she is.
However, the following is an option:
[x] USS Porter (DD-356)
-[x] Wears a non-terrible uniform, possibly more in line with Shaw from Pacific.
Would switch to any of the following, if others voted for them instead:
[] Edsall
-[] possess an evasion of 'yes'
[] Mahan
-[] retains Pacific ability of 'I interrupt your normally scheduled briefing to give you a full tactical assessment of the enemy we will be fighting today.'
[] Shaw
-[] retains Pacific ability of first aid/ship repair
(Yes, Shaw does appear to be the white mage of Pacific.)
[] Maury
-[] retains Pacific ability to both deploy anywhere at any time and violate normal fleet compositions when doing so. Retaining Teleportation itself, however, is optional.
As you might be able to tell, I'm generally a fan of american ship girls, and I do think starting with an interwar DD is most appropriate. Porter is chosen above because the American response to Fubuki makes sense as the same sort of MC, but I wouldn't turn down a virtual super hero from Pacific in the same category.
You are the first person to mention that, so congrats there. And I am an option yes, or another member on the board. The convince bit is me saying to help me convince them in a not obnoxious or annoying way to be part of the writing process. I really only included it as a whim, not expecting any reactions to it or for it to win. Though if it does, I will try at least. More likely I'll end up just going with an OC either way...unless some of you thought I'd be entertaining as the effective MC, which I doubt at best.
They're most likely talking about the Kant-O-Colle version, which I'm willing to consider if it get's enough votes. And I do agree Porter could have a better outfit.
Wait, where did she come out? I know I've seen high quality Pacific art for all of her three sisters, but I can't find anything similar for her. You might want to double check she's an option.
I guessed that or the quest she stars in on this board. Regardless, warning people they might have an invalid vote seems appropriate.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen someone who likes her art. Personally, she looks like a sub, which makes no sense for a destroyer.

QM seen my vote, did not dismissed it. I take it is a legit opinion.
That, and it just doesn't look good for a DD set up. Let alone the vague ages DDs are supposed to have.
As for the Mo with the 80's fit out, as long as you can get me a picture that is supposed to be of Mo then I'll allow it.

I want clarify, you meant any picture that can be used for Mo (i.e. any non-WSG or Pacific art of Iowa-class kanmusu), or picture that was specifically stated by artist as USS Missouri (BB-63) ?
If it is specifically supposed to be Mo, then that's fine. However, if it involves RWBY I wont accept it. I'm personally just tired of it. Though if it's just vaguely an Iowa class, and it looks nice, then yeah sure that can work too.
Alright, Mo's good to go.Art
Very light on rigging, but blockbuster action-girl in other ways.
Alright, so current votes look like this

Looks like we have a tie, gonna leave this open for awhile longer. If we don't have a tie breaker in an hour or two, then I'm just going to let probability decide between the most voted for options.

The first ship, on a ship, I hope your happy.
Well, looks like it's up to the bones know.
It's going to be the beached ship base, and for the ship it's Shigure with cat ears and tail.
Time for the update.
---------
It was time, in this beached carrier it was time for the first ship girl to be summoned there. The materials were gathered, and the ritual began. In a small blaze of light all four of the different materials came together and a shape came out. The shape was that of a destroyer, one of the Shiratsuyu class girls. Shigure specifically, but the base's commander noticed something different. Which became very apparent when this Shigure introduced herself.
"I'm Shigure, of the Shiratsuyu-class destroyers-nyaa. Nice to meet you-nyaa."
That with the cat ears and swinging cat tail were signs something happened, for good or ill the commander wasn't sure. Either way, not worth looking too much into. Still, it was time to just move forward. And not let the insanity of reality break you.
"Well met, I am John Smith the commander of this base. I am not part of a military, but a civilian contractor. Our main job here is to provide extra coverage for the Hawaiian islands alongside normal duties of expeditions and taking out targets of opportunity."
"Alright-nyaa. I'll make sure the parades of our enemies are rained on-nyaa."
"...Do you need to keep adding nyaa to everything?"
"Only if I feel like it-nyaa. Or I might just use rain instead."
"Alright, well first things first. We either need to take care of some jobs, or summon another ship girl. I'll just take a look at the jobs first. And if they're low risk enough we'll take a few on, if not we'll just summon another ship girl or few right now."
"That sounds sensible-rainyaa."
"You're just doing that on purpose now aren't you."
"What ever gave you that idea commanyaader."
--------
For each one,whichever set of votes wins will be the winner. If there are too few, then I'll just go with which ever thing got the most votes for each different option.
What jobs/quests does John find(both of these can have multiple, the more dangerous the job/quests the more ship girls can be put in. Up to a limit of 5 each.):
[] Write in
-[] If it's purposely really dangerous, who does the commander summon(write in)
Random event: (pick up to 3 choices)
[] Surprise call
[] No time to think, there's an attack right now.
[] Wait, why is the summoning array glowing, why is there a shape forming out of the light, what the hell man, another one?(insert ship girl here)
[] One of the staff that was off duty caught something weird.(insert the thing here)

[x] Compose a fleet of at least two ship-girls. (easy, A1)

Undecided on who to summon, but at least the first job above probably warrants one.

Well, at least you considered just writing in at least one. So that'll be fun...maybe.
At least three can be justified here, if not four.
This I just have to give kudos for the humor.

Really? Going for that type of stuff already? Alright then.
