I prefer Lasagna
 
Anyways, I'm thinking about being the close quarters specialist. Ballistic shield, shotgun, and machine pistol or smg. Military background, probably gonna be American in ethnicity. There's a basic rundown of my idea so far. What is everyone else thinking?
 
i hate both lasagna n spaghetti

Also, I have a (maybe dumb) question. How does one land in DECRA? Do the characters just get there at some point in their careers? Are they sought out? Is it a 'you need to have the contacts to get in' kind of situation? are they out on the streets handing out flyers made in ppt? I'm trying to finish my chara's background section on his CS but I'm struggling to figure out how he got up to where he is in DECRA, my brain is the size of a pea

also i'm taking the sniper character™️ spot no one fight me for it u will lose
 
It is most definitely a secret organization. If you're good enough they would contact you is the most likely course of action, I would think.

A proven competence and flawless track record of unviolated NDAs would probably be enough to have you be considered. Although like any other institution, having someone's recommendation would ease the process significantly
 
Hello world, I hope you are all doing well!
I have pranced through the week to deliver a generic rifleman to the service of the agency. I hope it was received in the inbox, this is my first time doing much of anything on this website in this fashion, lols.
I am excited to see where this will lead!
 
hello! quick question: would yugoslavia still exist under the USSR in this timeline?
I wanted to provide a lenghty and detailed answer, but the subject is complicated and honestly, Yugoslavia probably would not have prevailed regardless. The main reason for Yugoslavia's unity was Tito and even with the continued existence of the USSR, the Yugoslav Wars would most likely not have been prevented. But honestly I never gave that sector of the world much thought so I'm open to discussions should you believe otherwise

yeah totally fair! i was planning on making a character with bosniak roots but regardless of the geopolitics, i think it would be fine! just given that even under yugoslavia, there were distinct regional identities
 
There shouldn't be any issues with that, yeah.

I couldn't finish up Document VI today like I had planned, but I'll make sure to get it posted as soon as possible to anyone wondering where it was. But Document V is out so go give that a read!
 
Hello! Sorry to bother you, but I had a few questions:
- Are we allowed to edit/change parts of our character application, after we've submitted them to the three GM dms? (And would we have to notify y'all that we did?)
- Would you prefer that our characters have known about/encountered demonic activity prior to being tapped for DECRA? (Like, is this something the agency would have looked for specifically in recruits?)
- How involved is Canada/the CAF in DECRA and related things? It wasn't listed as an option in the affiliation section, but I figured I'd check just in case, since Canadian military stuff usually goes really hand in hand with American/British stuff
- Did you guys have an established list of PMCs that you wanted us to pick from, if we were to go that option re: affiliation?

Thanks for your time, and I'm sorry if one of the lore documents already answered any of these!
 
Have you any intention of opening slots later in the story? Unfortunately exams took precedence and I wasn't able to submit my app in time orz.

You can change them infinitely until we actually start. But yeah, letting us know would be immensely helpful.

- Would you prefer that our characters have known about/encountered demonic activity prior to being tapped for DECRA? (Like, is this something the agency would have looked for specifically in recruits?)
It's pretty much expected that your character knew about the existence of demons and might even have done some training regarding containment. Which isn't that hard as long as your character is part of any intelligence agency or military divisions specializing in such. This of course includes PMCs as well.

- How involved is Canada/the CAF in DECRA and related things? It wasn't listed as an option in the affiliation section, but I figured I'd check just in case, since Canadian military stuff usually goes really hand in hand with American/British stuff
Almost every country outside of KEASA (most of east asia) is involved with DECRA one way or another. If the US is involved, Canada is most certainly involved as you've said.

- Did you guys have an established list of PMCs that you wanted us to pick from, if we were to go that option re: affiliation?
You can pickout IRL big names like Blackwater or Wagner Group. Or just make up a custom organization that fits your character nicely. We might ask about them so just make sure you have some background prepared for custom PMCs

We're still accepting submissions from those who expressed interest on the interest check, the final deadline will likely be on the 25th of this month. You're free to make a character until then!

If you're unable then we might open slots in the future, but that depends on if we have any leavers. I can't tell you with certainty, though.
 
Hiya! Just a quick question. How would they break the news to the families of those agents who were assumed to be KIA in the attempt to capture Bethael? I’m assuming they won’t disclose too much information about demons then since these people are civilians, but I’m just wondering what sort of explanation they would provide.

I’m just thinking about creating a character who is a relative of one of those agents. Since that whole operation is cloaked in mystery, I figured proclaiming them dead at this point would be a much easier explanation for my character to digest.

They wouldn't disclose any information at all. Like most other clandestine operations with KIAs, the officers responsible for delivering the news will simply state that their sons/daughters died fighting a battle against the enemy force. If they're asked about the specifics the officers would probably just tell them it's classified and there's nothing they can do about it.
 
I have managed to finish a decent portion of Document VI, but it has been rather challenging for me at the moment due to minimal time available. That and I've been reconsidering some lore, more specifically about the alternative aspects of WWII. I'll attempt to finish it within the month's end but for now, everyone will have to suffice with what's finished.

Character sheets are due on the 25th, and if you want general explanations about anything specific about history then let me know here. I'll answer as soon as possible
 
Heyyy, sort of similar question as someone else, would Romania exist under the USSR or would they be independent? I know they were never technically a part of the Soviet Union but it was a satellite state of the Soviet Union for awhile so...? I was assuming they would be under the USSR but correct me if I'm wrong!

Apologies for the late reply, we were sleeping.

Anyway, Romania may have been part of the Warsaw Pact, and the Eastern Bloc, but it was always an independent country during the Cold War that was impervious to and opposed Soviet policies. Especially during and after its de-satellization where Khruschev was a factor. Romania's "misdemeanor" compared to other Eastern Bloc countries was tolerated primarily because its ruling party stayed communist. This was before Nicolae Ceausescu who, before basically going insane, instituted liberal reforms, formed ties with Western leaders, and opposed the Prague Spring of 1968.

Since the demons are secret to the public, and still including the shaky diplomatic relations between Romania and the USSR at the time, much of known history would've still happened anyway and Ceausescu would've still been deposed and killed starting with Timisoara and everything after that at the times they occurred in our actual history. So they won't be part of the Soviet Union or be a satelite. Their accession into NATO in 2004 would've happened anyway.
 
DISCLAIMER: The lore on WW3 is still a WIP. How it affects world history, I can't be too sure until it's done. What I'm sure of is that events such as this in history are affected such that they're either sped up or delayed, but still happen anyway.
 
Character sheets will be due in roughly 30 hours, and accepted parties will get their permission to post their CS on the repository. In a few days I will also be uploading the Operations Manual (rp material) which should help with how to properly conduct the roleplay once it's demon hunting time

The roleplay should start before the month's over.
