Dire Legion - WIP

Postby Verdana » Mon Nov 21, 2016 1:01 pm

Who are you? How did you come to be in this place?


It doesn't matter, really. Your past, your sordid history, all was left behind the moment that little pup tumbled into your lap. The details are irrelevant. All that matters is that you are the strongest, the quickest, the bravest. Perhaps you are the smartest, the shrewdest, the most cunning. You have excelled, for some reason, for good or ill.

You were noticed. And now you are here. But you are not alone.

Welcome to the Dire Legion. If it has another name, you do not know it. You and your dire wolf pup, both half-baked creatures of dough brimming with rough potential, are here to train in the legion. For it is a time of unsettled peace in Eldemore, and soon your time will come to fight in a great and terrible war.

For now, your duty is to train. Train, improve, and usurp your equals, to rise to the top of the great Dire Legion.

After all, only the strongest survive at war.



The Nitty-Gritty


You have been chosen in the newest recruitment drive for members of the Dire Legion. War looms on Eldemore's horizon, and circumstances have compelled you to turn to combat. Perhaps you joined of your own free will. Perhaps you were coerced. Whatever your circumstances, here you stand, in uniform, staring ahead, and with your new partner panting beside you.

You understand little of the forces behind the creation of the Legion, and what stance the legion takes in the broader spectrum. Perhaps you are curious about this. Perhaps not. However, politics within the Legion consume your attention. Your tutors - both human and otherwise - are fierce and exacting. Your peers are as ruthless as you are. You are reminded, again and again, that only the strongest will ever become more than cannon fodder.

And you believe that you are the strongest.

The Legion is broken up into several squadrons:

Infantry

The infantry comprises the 'cannon fodder' on the front lines of attack. The bulk of the Legion, this is the most undesirable of the positions, and also the least specialised. Infantry are expected to follow orders without rebuke, do what they are told when they are told to do it. They are expendable, and that is frightening.


Scouts

Comprised of Dire Wolves in muted, earthy colours, the Scouts look nondescript. This is, in fact, the point. Adept at sneaking, spying and infiltrating, the Scouts are a stealth division for sneak attacks, ambushes and finding information. A good scout need never face an adversary in direct combat, and would rather defeat a foe by underhanded, sly means.


Officers

The Officers are the brains and the leaders behind individual squads. They make the choices that their squads follow through. Rarely on the front lines, they have clawed and inched their way into leadership. Officers are to be respected for this, and feared.


Special Forces

Nobody is quite sure what the Special Forces does. Once chosen for the Forces, members rarely interact with other soldiers of the Legion. They are privy to the inner workings of the Legion, and if anyone is likely to know what forces motivate this army, it is the Special Forces.


Rules

1. All Eldemore rules apply. This means no undue profanity, no excessive violence or gore. Nothing that would not be allowed on the rest of the site.
2. Basic roleplay etiquette applies as well.
3. Only use existing site Dire Wolves as your partners. You do not need to own that particular adoptable, but please do not use any customs or birthday pets unless you own those or have been given permission to do so.
4. At the moment, one partnership (one humanoid and one Dire Wolf) per person.
5. Humanoid components can be any of the canonical Eldemore races, within reason.
6. Please post all forms and OOC chat here.
