Introduction Part 2: Welcome to the 75th Brigade Welcome to the 75th Brigade, and presumably on board of the Skystrider. We are part of the Outer Corps, but you should already know that. Anyways, here are some info you need to know about this brigade: Our duties As part of the Outer corps, we basically do external missions, such as diplomatic missions and trade missions. Mostly, when the Scout corps find something, we deal with it. Or, if command needs something to be done, and it's not major enough to mobilize the Inner corps, we are ususlly the people they go to. We also function as a sort of border partol and first line of defense for the Fleet. Finally, we also provide reserves for other corps. As for your individual duties, you should be assigned to it by now. Standby roles are done when you are off-duty, and Field roles are your designations when in action. You will be placed in teams of three or more supervised by senior officers. Do try to get along with your teammates. The Skystrider and other Ships The 75th Brigade has many ships to use as we see fit. Our main flagship and the ship you will spend most of your time in is the Garuda Class ship, the Skystrider. This is where you will reside and do most of your activities. It's a fairly advanced airship outfitted with the latest in runic arts and technology. We also have a few Eagle class transport and scout ships, to check the exact number please look at the updated information in the helpdesk. Aside from that, we are also outfitted with many Sparrow Class fighters. If you are a sky officer or a sea officer, it is best that you learn of these ships. Standard Paraphenelia Here's a list of your standard paraphenelia available when you join the brigade:
For other things such as weapons, please explore the brigade armory and catch yourself up. |

Useful Information This section is for useful information about how things work in the world, a layman's introduction to advanced concepts, meant for RPers, as characters in universe should already know this stuff. Introduction to Magic Magic is a general term for the various non-physical energy sources that are utilized in Wizardry, Magecraft, and Sorcery. There are basically 3 types of magic as a form of energy: Mana, which is the natural energy of the world stored in inanimate objects. Usually objects have different concentrations. Higher concentrations of mana are usually found in Crystalites, for example whilst regular air or dirt might have much less. Prana, which is the natural energy from living beings. Usually, prana is utilized from oneself, and the ammount of prana is as much pysical attribute as strength and speed. Lastly, Chi is merely the natural energy of the "outer universe" more colloquially known as the spiritual world. Extraction of magic from these sources vary, but in general several ways to extract them include: Technological basis of extraction systematically integrated to a specizlised tool, most commonly utilizing mana; Raw control using movements and will, usually utilizing prana; Rituals and Runes, using belief and thaumaturgical principles to draw out magic to be used for a specific purpose, usually used to draw out Chi. Incantations are an antiquated, though still usable way to use them as well. Magic, however, can't be used by all in the same way and with the same efficacy. Most people are able to utilize magic to do most things, but are naturally inclined and have an affinity for a certain aspect of magic use. If you do not know your affinity, at the back of this book is a paper that is basically a litmus test for it. The paper will change color indicating your affinity. The classifications of magic use are as follows:
Does this mean that a person can only be profficient in one aspect? No, one can have basic training in all except the outer paths, and be competent in them. One can also train to attain expertise in an aspect outside their affinity, however one will always have one aspect that they will gravitate to. The exceptions are the outer paths, which are extremely rare to the point that they are considered mythical and theoretical. It should also be noted that you needn't have detailed explanation of how your magic works, it just affects how your magic works in practice. e.g. someone mainly creating water through projection would not have the benefit of that water staying around, as it would dissipate into mana eventually, while someone using Mystic Force would be able to control actual water, but wouldn't be able to create water. Skyship Classification There are many specific classifications for skyships, but the easiest way to classify them is by size (instead of role, function etc.):
Threat and Hazard levels There are various levels that are used as labels for threats and hazards, the basic of which can be seen here:
Level of Technology In terms of conventional technology, generally the level of technology featured in the club paralels that of the technology between the 16th-18th centuries in our world. The main difference is that the abundance and versatility of magic has caused technology to primarily focus on harnessing magic instead of other power sources. In terms of combat, gunpowder is not only rare but the technology for it is also not very advanced. Because of the versatility of magic, melee weapons are also still relevant. As a general rule, tech that would suit steampunk and fantasy genres would suit this world, but sci-fi and urban tech wouldn't. |
