Kantai Collection: Liberation

by CanadianBacon1994

After the world wide surprise attack from the Abyssal fleet most navies have been wiped out and the world was sent into a dark age. Three years after the initial attack things have started to change. Humanity has created the ship girl, girls that posses unique abilities. Now a fresh faced TTK is given command of a international fleet of these ship girls to liberate the Pacific.

2. Info Dump 1

Encyclopedia of Kantai Collection: Liberation

So you may be wondering what the hell this is. This is where I will dump information from my story so it doesn't crowd the actual chapters. Basically it's going to be an in depth description of the world and ship girl OC's. Since I plan on having plenty of OC ship girls it'll help you, the reader, gain a better understanding of their looks, personality stuff like that. So before every chapter you'll get a description of the new OC's for that chapter. I will also be including facts of the different world my story takes place in. For example you'll get a big description of the history of the UNAS (United North American States) in this dump. Oh and there will be a more in depth look at the admiral this time around just to give you a better idea of what I envision him to look like. These info dumps will accompany every chapter when I release them.

The United North American States

Capital City: Ottawa, Washington DC

Largest City: New York

Official Language: None at the Federal Level

National Language: English

Demonym: North American

Goverment: Federal Presidential Constitutional Republic

The United North American States (UNAS) is a republic consisting of 63 states. The country encompasses the entirety of the former Canada and the United States making it the largest country in the world with an estimated population 400,000,000 people. The country was born out of desperation in the early months of 2021 after the worldwide Abyssal attack destroyed the world's navies and economy. Canada and the US were facing another depression on the scale of the 1920's. An idea was soon put forth to stabilize the two countries. Unite under one banner and share the wealth. A vote was passed for every citizen to decide on whether they would unite or not. The end results were 52% in favor of the merge. Canada would now have the world's largest military to defend against Abyssal attacks while the US was able to effectively use the large natural resources of Canada. This merge saved the two countries from collapse but it wasn't an entirely smooth conversion. A rebel army emerged consisting of that 48% that voted against the merge. They soon carried out attacks on the new government and civilian population. Tyler's mother was killed in one of these attacks. Fortunately the army was quickly suppressed by North American ground forces. Now in 2023 the UNAS is the world leader in both economic and military power.

The Admiral

-Name: Tyler Quinn

-Height: 6'1

-Weight: 210lbs

-Age: 24

-Eye & Hair Colour: Deep Blue & Light Brown

-Skin Colour: White

-Figure: Toned

-Looks: Above Average

Tyler's Clothing from Top to Bottom

The UNAS naval uniform is almost exactly the same as the USN. Members have the option to wear the USN or RCN if they were in service before the merge. Tyler wasn't given a RCN officers uniform though.

-He's usually wearing his naval officer's cap when walking around the base but takes it off indoors.

-He wears his UNAS Service Dress White Uniform coat with his last name above his right breast pocket.

On the left he has all ribbons he's earned through his service. On his shoulders he has the epaulets of his rank.

-He wears his white trousers with a gold buckle belt.

-He wears white dress shoes.

Tyler Quinn was born in Toronto, Ontario to a Japanese mother and English (by descent) father. He was a momma's boy from birth and was taught how to speak and read Japanese since he was little. He grew up admiring the navy and joined the navy after high school. He originally wanted to rise through the ranks by merit but his career was fast tracked by his father. He disliked the treatment and became distant from his dad because of it, but now that his dad is gone he regrets his decision to do so. He was Captain of HMCS Iroquois, the third ship of her name, for a year before the Abyssal attack. His crew admired him because of his kind and fatherly nature. After the attack his right leg, arm and eye have been replaced by cybernetics giving him superior strength in those limbs. After waking up from the coma he was given the chance to command a fleet of ships girls to take back the Pacific Ocean.

The RCN Destroyers

Haida

Haida's Physical Appearance

Class: Tribal DD

-Weight: 110lbs

-Age: 14-16

-Eye & Hair Colour: Icy Blue & Long White Hair going to her lower back signifying her North Atlantic operations

-Skin Colour: White

-Figure: Petite

-Cup Size: B

-Looks: Cute like most kancolle destroyers

The best comparison I can make is Yuudachi Kai Ni.

Haida's Clothing from Top to Bottom

- She has a Hiada tribe thunderbird pin in her hair keeping her bangs off her right eye.

-A white scarf around her neck that hangs off her back symbolizing her service in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.

- She wears the uniform of RCN sailor but has the jacket unbuttoned and sleeves rolled up because it's hot in the Pacific and the HMCS Haida wasn't built for Pacific operations. She also has CANADA on the top of both shoulders in yellow stitch.

-She wears a navy blue short skirt with black knee socks.

-Black slip on shoes.

Haida's Armaments

3 x 4"/45 Mk.16 twin guns. One the right hand and two on her rigs left.

2 × 20 mm Oerlikon cannons on her rig for AA

1 × quadruple mount 40mm/39 2-pounder gun over her shoulder for AA.

1 x depth charge thrower on her left hand.

Her rig is painted dark blue with white thick stripes and has a red maple leaf on the smoke stack. Her propulsion shoes are red.

Haida's Personality

Haida is a very proud and strong destroyer because of her service record. She sunk the most tonnage of any Canadian ship in the war and was especially known for her luck. She took damage throughout the war but never sunk. She's constantly itching for a fight but isn't fond of German subs and torpedo boats which caused her the most trouble in the war. She'll complain about the hot weather along with the other Canadian ship girls because they were never built for Pacific operations. She speaks with a slight English tone because she was originally built in England. She can also speak some Russian due to her escorting convoys to Russia. Overall she is a sweet and caring girl that loves to scrap with the Abyssals.

Around the base shell be found either training or hanging out with other DD's.

The best comparison I can make would be regular Shigure Kai Ni.

-She wears a black and white striped scarf that she wraps around her neck for participating in the Normandy invasion.

-She wears the uniform of a RCN sailor like Haida but keeps it buttoned up to the last top three. She also rolls up the sleeves but is a lot neater than Haida. On her collar she has a small pin of the Norwegian flag because she escorted Prince Olav back to Norway after the war. She also wears a gold ring with the hammer and sickle inscribed from convoy escort duties to Russia.

-She also wears a navy blue short skirt and black knee socks like her sister.

-The same goes with the black slip on shoes.

Iroquois' Personality

Iroquois is a very humble, shy and quiet girl. Even though she is the lead ship between her four sisters, Haida enjoys the fighting more than she. She prefers to help people and escort ships. That doesn't meant she can't fight well though. She is also a collector of souvenirs. She likes to wear items that describe where she's been. Like her sister she is not fond of German subs, but has a particular dislike of bombers. She'll also mention the hot weather once in a while like Haida but won't be so vocal about it. Also like Haida she has a slight English accent. Overall she is a person that will be more likely to help her friends then want to fight head to head with the enemy. She'll usually be seen quietly reading a book or with her sister practicing.

Laffey is a persistent and stubborn little bugger. She will rarely admit she's losing in an argument and is kind of negative towards the TTK.

This is represented in her uniform which is tattered and burnt. She has a fear of fire and dive bombers though. She has a fondness of allied aircraft but doesn't like the Corsair too much.

She isn't scared of an enemy larger than her and she constantly likes to engage battleships and heavy cruisers even though she probably shouldn't. Like most destroyers she also doesn't like subs and aircraft. She's a fan of light carriers over the regular ones.

Hoel's Personality

Hoel is a brave young girl like the rest of her "Taffy Sisters". She likes to scrap with ships much larger than her. Unfortunately, unlike her sisters her torpedo aim leaves things to be desired. She is also a tough little destroyer that can take a lot of hits before being heavily damaged. The Hoel took 40 hits from CA and BB before sinking. She also has a habit of rescuing fairy pilots shot down in battle. She also has troubles with sinking subs because she never gets any good hits. She dislikes enemy CA and BB greatly and does her best to exact revenge. Overall she is a brave girl that loves to scrap with the CA and BB.

Johnstons Personality

Johnstion is a brave destroyer like her taffy sisters. What set her apart are her leadership ability and her severe case of Chunnibyou. Johnston is the "older sibling" to her Taffy sisters and is the one in charge. Her chunni is a severe case where she dresses, acts and fights like a pirate, going after larger ships than her for the glory and prize of MVP. She was able to convince the scientists to modify some flintlock pistols so she could use them against Abyssal ships. She'll even use her superior strength to close in and fight with her cutlass. She and Kiso Kai Ni get along really well. The biggest difference that would separate her from other destroyers is her effectiveness against large ships like BB's and CA's. She is always able to close in and score multiple torpedo hits. Overall she is a brave, happy chunni that wants nothing more than to win glory for her "tin-can" sisters. Around the base you'll find her with her sisters or Kiso.

So that's it for this chapters info dump. If you actually read it all give yourself a round of applause. Imagine if I tried to include all that in the actual chapter. Hopefully this will help you get a better idea of the OC ship girls, the Admiral and parts of the world I created. As I said before these will accompany every chapter with new OC's and info.
