Right, I'm pulling the pin. This is a revised (and in some spaces simplified) set of articles for a new faction that I've had sitting around for nearly a year now. It's a faction of NMX revolutionary 'Nekosoldat' who are designed to be the 'muscular prehistoric 80s catgirl' stereotype, and utilize a whole ton of old articles and outdated equipment that has rather fallen by the wayside. They are intentionally misguided and kinda crazy, are designed around brutal trench warfare and mass tactics, basically a way more formalized version of the remnant NMX forces that are always turning up in threads. They are also designed to have a weirdly ambivalent relationship with Yamatai forces, sometimes helping out for totally the wrong reasons.

I'm aware that this may be jumping the gun of the 'must have an active Open RP thread', but seeing as there is apparently talk of a new highly relevant Mishhuvurthyar war plot about to happen, I'd hate for a massive amount of writing, artwork, 3D modelling, and other player's player character concepts to go down the drain.

There is no rush approving this, but I'd like to make it clear that it all exists. The only reason I even held off was to support other people's plots for a while.

Thank you for any feedback and consideration.

Two questions:

Is there an in-universe explanation for why their ranks are German words? Did they get inspired by the relatively nearby Abwehrans?

Is there a narrative reason why the Impaler Rifle is considered a crew-served weapon by the YNNX? It is historically very much the standard infantry gun for NMX Neko and may well be less powerful than your new Kingsbane they use. Maybe they have some kind of tech cult beliefs about the Impaler because it's too advanced for them to replicate?
 
Thanks for the fast reply Wes, Raz!

Their culture is manufactured to give off an air of legitimacy, but yes, many German and Chinese words are integrated. Locked Out came up with the idea of spelling German words with Chinese phonetics, which I rather like. They likely absorbed them from nearby human or abwehran colonists who were captives to the NMX/SMX.

Impaler rifles are relatively easy to steal or recover, but the average Nekosoldat infantrycat is so badly trained and equipped they have a hard time maintaining them. The second Neko carries the batteries and acts as a spotter.
