Kusari Exiles RP - KaiserDietz - 11-12-2013
So..... I don't have much idea on how the Kusari Exiles RP operates. I really like the underdog Kusari, fighting back against the coup, but i can't find much information on it. The wiki only goes up to the capturing of stokes by the IKN.
My idea was to create a character that was the first prototype for the Komainu Battlecruiser, under the control of the IKN, which was outfitted with an experimental jump drive. When the Kempetai led the coup against the Shogun, it was ordered to regroup in New Castle with the Yamaguchi, but was isolated in its position in Rishiri, where it was under heavy attack, so it activated its jump drive, which unfortunately malfunctioned, taking them and extra X amount of time. The KNF spread that the battlecruiser was destroyed, but instead it was just taking an exorbinate time to reach its destination. With only a handful of its crew still alive it arrives off course, in Tau 44, unfortunately concurrent with the beginning of Operation Trident.

It doesn't sound like you're creating a character, it's sounds like you're creating a ship and one riddled with prototype this, experiemental that. It's a trap a lot of people fall in to when they think it'll make the character stand out.
Basically you've focused far more on the How, rather than the Why.
What I'd suggest is thinking about why the crew of your ship would decide to fight for the Emperor, why would they want to overthrow a democratic republic in favour of a monarchy and what happens to those who don't side with the majority. Have an answer to those questions and you'll make a far more interesting character.

About what Croft said. However I will point out that Komainu was only deployed after th coup and the loss to Gallia. It was made as a cheaper and faster to build solution to the need of a heavy vessel that can secure a large region of space after KNF lost a large portion of their battleships

Alright, thanks for the info about the background on the Komainu. I hear your worries about the prototype this and prototype that, so I was setting that up as merely a basis for why the ship has suddenly appeared, the jupmdrive isn't even really that important. The RP will be more heavily focused on, as stated by Croft, the reason that crew is fighting, and the battered mentality they have adopted. After being ordered to return, its Captain decided to side with the Republic, and the crew mutinied under the Head of Engineering and the First Mate, who was a member of the Imperial Family. The mutiny was successful, but at the cost of most of the crews' lives and severe damage to the ship as it fled Republican forces.

If I remember right the Kusari Exiles ID cannot use the Kusari Battlecruiser, just checked the ID, here is what is on it
Zone of Influence: Taus, Bretonia, Kyushu
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, Kusari Destroyer
You will need an SRP to use the ship with the Exiles
RE: Kusari Exiles RP - KaiserDietz - 11-13-2013
alright. I'll get the rp rolling first
