2. What exactly are you requesting?
BAF IFF, SRP ID Osiris, with BAF| ID rules and the regular BAF| weapon allowance with 90% powercore regen due to RP restrictions.
3. Exact name, identification and affiliation of the character:
Character Name: BAF|HMS-Hellbound (BAF| ID'd Osiris with BAF IFF)
ID: Special Operative (BAF| ID rules)
IFF: BAF
4. Why is this request necessary for the continuation of this character's roleplay?
The Hellbound is an old SRP made initially by @Miaou aka @LePew to the Reaver Merc. Company. At the time, since we were looking for an rp mobile platform, the opportunity to capture an already historical capital appeared in the form of the Hellbound, the Phantom flagship. This was prior to the Phantom retcon, and throughout the rp for this SRP request, no mention to them was made, using keywords like terrorists and the like to portray the bloody past of the ship. Said ship exists ooRP and inRP since 2006 and I, Kaze, have a very soft spot for historical capitals and I didn't wanted this lady to be forgotten. After asking permission to @Miaou to resurrect the SRP, I started the road with Kaze wanting and faking a request by the Reaver Merc. Co. to the former captain LePew in order to gain the knowledge of the location of the battleship. She wanted it in order to add another capital to the Bretonian Armed Forces roster since said roster is getting slimmer by the day due to the war.
5. What short-term and long-term goals are you planing to achieve on this character?
Short term: Add another capital to the Bretonian Armed Forces roster, since they are becoming less by the day due to the war going on.
Long term: After the war, to find a berth and finally go through a set of complete repairs to enable it to use the power core at 100%, and to portray a new age of Bretonian aggression. To fight monsters, you need a monster of your own, and I want the Hellbound to be the face of it.
6. Provide links to the relevant forum roleplay.
- Kaze's Request to LePew.
While the Company was indeed back on its feet, it wasn't due to Silver or Kaze but by other elements. Using the cover of that rebirth of the Company, Kaze requests the location and keys to the Hellbound from its former captain. Silver is called upon after LePew's resistance to deliver the knowledge, giving it afterwards, not knowing it is going to Bretonian hands.
- Communication and request for berth to the Fleet Admiral of the Bretonian Armed Forces.
After a successful retrieval of the ship in the Edinburgh system, Kaze contacts Fleet Admiral McIntire to secure a berth in Southampton to initiate repairs and refit. With the heavy toll of the war, the timetable for such is short and the supplies are not many, implying if the timetable is over, the project would be dropped. A penalty and a risk she decides to take even so, using the know-how of her brother, Meallan Dagon, the lead engineer of the Hellfire Legion and already used to old Osirises, thanks to the fabled Incursus.
- Mooring and repair of the Hellbound in Southampton Shipyard. This is the main rp thread regarding the repair and refit of the Hellbound. Using Meallan's view on the whole project, we arrive at the site after the Hellbound moor with Southampton, at the very beginning of said project. Using the Southampton already veteran crew alongside Libertonian knowledge and a heavy work schedule. Several points of view by the crew during the course of work is given in this thread and also explains the why the power core being drained to 90% regen. Due to time constraints and a complete replacement of the engine coupling with incompatible systems, the power core has to deliver more power to the engine in order for it to function.
- Material requests to the Admiralty.
A short comm requesting several needed materials to continue the repairs of the Hellbound. Obligatory beer included.
- Filling material request with the APM.
Due to the heavy load of the war over the Merchant Navy, Kaze decided to procure the material shipping from a third party, namely APM.
7. Provide a cliffnote/summary for the links provided above.
With the Gallic War raging on, Kaze, now a Commodore again, uses her past knowledge and connections to win another asset to the Bretonian Armed Forces, namely the Hellbound. Contacting and fooling the previous captain with help of Silver, she gains access to it and proceeds to request its repair and refit in Southampton. The Fleet Admiral of the BAF allows it but in a very short time span due to the war and practical need of the berths to repair the fleets. Calling upon her brother, Meallan who has already an extensive knowledge in repairing old Osirises due to his work in the Hellfire Legion, she initiates the project and uses local teams from Southampton alongside Meallan to proceed the repairs. Several materials were delivered in a contract issued with APM, and finally and under the timetable, the Hellbound is repaired, albeit with a different engine that causes a drop in available power core regen.
8. How long has this character been building its backstory?
Since mid-August of this year. By trying to resurrect an old SRP, I want to keep the Hellbound alive and use it in the war to come, that has already arrived, meanwhile.
