Greetings from SeekerMeeker.
So, I am frequently trying to find out how to improve my writing. Apparently, I am suffering from a writer's block after my latest chapter of "Girls und Krieg." While waiting, I thought over my GuK Documentary...and I realize that it is a little hard to read.
So, this is the result: a series where each chapter is literally a profile of almost each vehicle and unit! Most chapters will focus on one unit at a time, depending on the situation.
In other words, it should be an easier-to-read encyclopedia of my Senshazon military units.
NOTE: I am going to keep the "GuK Documentary," just in case. This one is meant to expand upon the military vehicles.
UPDATE: this documentary is officially out-dated. It only applies to the (unfortunately) hastily finished story "Girls und Krieg."
The information here does NOT apply to "Girls Chaos Rise."
GuK Military I: The New Ooarai Republic
Overview
Alright, so I want to say this...thank you for all your support for the "Girls und Krieg" story! I appreciate it being a success, with at least 40 reviews, 14 favs, and 20 follows. So, this series is going to be an easier-to-read version of the "GuK Documentary: The World of Alterra, Featuring the Senshazonia."
How easy?
As stated above, I will focus on most units by chapter. That way, you all can go back and check each tank and other unit more easily. Instead of having to scroll down to find them, I decide to separate most by chapter. Hence, some chapters will be longer than others.
Plus, each "arc" will be preceded by an introduction.
"Hello!" Miho said, then hiccuped, surprised at herself. "I am here to introduce you this section, which is technically a literary display of all of the vehicles of NOR. SeekerMeeker will also see if he can squeeze in some flash fiction stories, featuring each one. If not, then this is meant to be an 'info dump' without making the actual stories (Girls und Krieg series) sound too expository.
"In the meantime, enjoy and panzer vor!"
New Ooarai Republic
The New Ooarai Republic is a Senshazon state, and the first heroic faction introduced in "Girls und Krieg." It is based on the Ooarai Girls' Academy, but the faction now consists of a wide variety of girls, from original inhabitants to girls from various Senshazon states. It is usually better known as NOR, and its inhabitants are the Norans.
Norans are distinct from most Senshazons in being more "fantasy-esque" in terms of dress. This is partially due to the unusually high access to magic, and partially due to NOR having the highest number of Virago, at 37.
Virago
The Virago are our GuP girls, but now transformed into a special, overpowered race of amazons known as Senshazons. Within the Senshazon societies, the Virago rule supreme, because they are much like the "hive queens," in that the entire societies center around them. Although they are inherently superior to most humanoids, Senshazons easily deteriorate without the presence of the Virago. A large Senshazon state (at least 1 million) must have at least three Virago, in order to function as a society.
NOR is unique in having the most Virago, at 37! This renders NOR quite safe to live in for the Senshazons. Plus, this means that the Norans do not need to worry about creating the "Virago substitutes," which are devices that store Virago energy. Most of these are power orbs, which channel the energy of the Virago, thus emitting energy waves that keep the Senshazons from losing themselves.
Culture and Society
Culturally, NOR has a wide variety of cultures. In general, NOR has national elements from nations represented in GuP (such as the UK and the US), and nations not represented (such as Israel and South Korea). Hence, NOR is the most culturally diverse of all Senshazon states!
Like most, NOR has the best of most nations represented. As a result, it is no longer the average nation (which Miho actually intended), but is now one of the upper-class Senshazon states, in terms of economy, politics, and even cultural influence. This was why when the Unity Tower fell, many girls from other factions were in NOR, and they contributed greatly to the Norans' already rich gene pool.
However, NOR has some key cultural norms from:
-UK
-USA
-Italy
-Russia
-Germany
-Japan
-Finland
-China
-France
-Israel
-India
-South Korea
-Spain
-Ukraine
-Denmark
-Poland
-Indonesia
-South Korea
-Brazil
-South Africa
Military
The Noran military is one of the most battle-trained armed forces in the world. Even before the Fall of the Unity Tower, NOR had been involved in several major wars. It is notable for going from having one of the worst tank lines, to having one of the very best.
NOR is notable in relying on both obviously futuristic high-tech weapons and outright magical elements. From the Iron Dome (of Israeli fame) to the Magical Girl Warriors, NOR is famous for having one of the most diverse types of military units ever. This grants NOR an incredible amount of flexibility in battle. Indeed, this is one of the reasons for NOR getting involved in numerous battles; it is that much of a threat.
However, NOR is distinct in lacking certain unit types. It has no towed artillery or any pure mortar carrier.
So, this is just an overview of NOR.
Next few chapters will focus on the Virago tanks, unique to NOR!
