Salutations! I come to you with decidedly chill tidings.
I got to thinking recently. See, we have PC members/former members of all branches of the island military in this game except for two: The Po-Koro Footmen, and the Onu-Koro Ussalry (correct me if i'm wrong cuz i haven't checked profiles in a while). So I decided to make a PC-exclusive group in one of those two.
Therefore, the experimental Ussalry 7th Squadron has been started with my post for Sulov Koskium, its commander. The exact size of said group will be determined by how many PCs are found to be in it within three five days (read: how many pc profiles for matoran in the squadron that are appropriate considering its entry restrictions are made in that time and are ic'd for meeting up with their commander).
What are the entry restrictions, you ask? I'll keep it simple:
1. Characters in the squadron MUST be matoran who can at the least pull off an exceptional Ussalry impression. Their element doesn't matter as long as they can mimic the strength, night vision, familiarity with tunnels and ussals, etc. of a heavy Ussalry guy.
2. Characters in the squadron MUST wield the saperka, repeating crossbow, stakes, and armor standard for that specific squadron (see koskium for all that), plus ride a ussal. They also must wield a lance-like weapon; this they have some leeway with. They may carry their own weapons if they wish as well.
3. Characters in the squadron MUST have a good amount of training. They can be nuebs to actual combat, but no one gets through the Ussalry without learning how to fight over a few years.
Currently the squadron will have four PC members. I'm hoping to get anywhere between 5-8. Do realize that having a char in the squadron is 'first come, first serve' as well-this group will be fast-moving.
EDIT: Blog entry'd and updated. The wings and shield-disks have been retconned from existence. The protosteel weaponry is approval- pending.
Discuss here. I've edited the quote to reflect changes to the group.
