CLOAKER... BUT SPOOKY (DUMMIES VS NOOBS OC)

NAME/NICKNAMES: Artemis CALL SIGN; WHISTLE SEX: Female SPECIES: Robloxian SUB-SPECIES: Nusian APPEARANCE: Artemis is a 32 year old woman with yellow skin on her arms and head, blue skin on her torso, and green skin on her legs, with wavy black hair, with a lean build. as well a black helmet on her head with green phosphorus night vision goggles attached to it. Wearing a white bed sheet that covers her body down to her thighs. With holes for her arms, and holes for her eyes. With thick, strong thighs, and soft D-cup breasts. Carrying a aid kit. HEIGHT: 170 CM (or 5 Feet and 7 inches OR 5.312 studs) PERSONALITY: Artemis' personality is a somewhat aggressive, reckless, sarcastic, intelligent woman with a challenging type personality, with a western accent. Often taking on harder targets due to the adrenaline rush she gets. Often being called a adrenaline junkie by her allies, often sneaking behind her allies to scare them for the fun of it.

BACKSTORY: Born in a average home in the western part of Nusia in the year 2012, growing up with a few brothers on a farm. She continued to live and work on the farm even as her brothers moved away and her parents passed. However, during 2040, she was drafted to a squadron due to low numbers of available man power now assigned to be a 'cloaker'. A newly introduced experimental unit designed by Dr. Tycho. The military having implanted a endoskeleton made of tungsten into her body, making her raw strength more powerful. However, making her extremely heavy.

GEAR/WEAPONS: AID KIT; Standard issue, for patching up herself or a buddy. ENDOSKELETON; Her endoskeleton allows her to speed up heavily when she activates it, allowing her to go 40 MPH in short bursts. She can instantly incapacitate her targets with a dropkick. However, activating her endoskeleton causes it to produce a loud, screeching noise as it overloads itself. (IMPORTANT: Artemis DOES NOT HAVE ANY WEAPONS ON HER. SHE USES HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT AND DROP KICKS WITH HER ENDOSKELETON TO ATTACK.)

OTHER: Artemis is one of the first 'cloaker' units while it was still under the design of Dr. Sita before he passed, the endoskeleton reaching her entire body rather than just her legs like other cloaker units. However, this makes her walking speed quite slow. Furthermore, she cannot swim at all due to the extra weight. Lastly, due to the endoskeleton being made from tungsten, with low power bullets requiring multiple strikes to pierce through her bones.

DOMINION OF PINZHAO Description Dominia, or commonly referred to as Dummies, are native in southeastern Erikase, mainly inhabiting the frigid mountains and humid lowlands of their southern home. Due to the harsh terrain separation with the rest of the larger continent, the Dominian language is one of the branched off languages from an ancient Erikase, sharing similar words and sentence structures with pre-nusian Guesan. Their society is mainly militaristic, as one’s proof of glory can be found in a career at the military. Their racial appearances are mainly homogenous, meaning that you’ll only find dummies on said continent. Appearance-wise, the dummies appear to have pale grey skin with dark facial features.

Military The Dominians, despite having access to the large vast southern seas, do not have a significant naval force. This is because the southern seas are frozen for the majority of the year and are only available during the warm summer months. The dummies possess various technologies that are uniquely dominian, such as the ammo fabricators, the weapon printers and the automated PDC turrets. Despite their technological edge, they still fall relatively behind the Noobs when it comes to things such as artificial intelligence, tactics, space infrastructure and general military-ready population. Their population is quite lacklustre and small as compared to the Noobs, who possess several magnitudes more people at their disposal.

Politics The political system follows the emperor and their prime minister. Despite being a monarchy and family-politics driven, the emperor (and his/her advisors) select competent members into various branches of government, often by hand. The emperor is kept in check by the High Council, of which members of the council are elected by the population. If an emperor is to abuse his/her power, and is deemed so by the High Council, they are disposed of and ‘mysteriously vanish’.

The High Council elects a prime minister to run the civil duties of the country, and are furthermore responsible for duties such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, and trade. The emperor on the other hand (and his/her advisors), are responsible for defence and foreign policy.

The royal family has traditionally maintained its status and members as an absolute secret, no one knows who the emperor is, let alone if it’s a man or a woman. As a result, it is the duty of the prime minister to uphold the nation and act as the head-of-state, while the royal family maintains some power. Generally, the royal family acts as a figurehead post-reform.

Society In Dominian society, familial cohesion and anti-individualism have been prevalent since the start of the industrial revolution. In their societies, if you are to divorce your spouse or abandon your child, you are considered on par with traffickers and thieves (not literally, just on the same level as them), unless in special cases such as crime or adultery. Despite anti-familial cohesion laws being repealed in the reforms of Duodo Pin Zhao, the effects are still there. If one is to believe in one’s individualistic freedoms and non-reliance on society, they are most likely to be outcast by their friends and family.

Gender roles are practically non-existent on Dominian society, as both females and males had to work together in the paddy farms of the lowlands during the feudal era. This sense of shared brotherhood/sisterhood would then spill over into the post-industrial society of the Dummies. In the average household, you can expect to see housewives as common as househusbands.

REPUBLIC OF NUSIA Description The noobs are the people currently inhabiting the mid-southern parts of Erikase. Originally brought to the continent by accident, the first settlers fought unimaginable hardships to establish a nation, far away from home. Protected by a massive rainforest in the north and the frigid mountains in the south, the Noobs are well suited in their habitat. The noobs are slightly taller than the Dummies, roughly ~6cms (2 inches) taller on average. Unlike the Dummies, their societies are very multicultural and interracial, however there is widespread segregation and prejudice, especially against those of Guesan descent. The noobs appear as a mix of colours (due to their history of being interracially mixed, although where this gene mixing came from is unknown due to the lack of any blue, yellow or green coloured peoples in the known subspecies of Robloxians), most commonly yellow for the head/arms, blue for the chest/abdomen, and green for the legs. Despite many extremist groups within the Nusian congress holding traditionalistic views against mixing, it’s not uncommon to see their opinions being disregarded as irrelevant and outdated.

Military Nusian society (at least pre-war) was mainly focused on self-defence, despite the absolute massive size of their country. Their militaristic numbers hovered around 20,000 active personnel, a couple dozen vehicles and a few warships. With the start of the war in the late 2030’s, Nusian congressmen began funnelling more funds into expanding the military and enacting harsher conscription laws. Now, their numbers hover in the millions of infantry and tens of thousands of vehicles. Their navy was still quite powerful, even before the advent of war. Their navy is quite possibly the strongest in the entire baseplate, possessing cutting-edge warships and unfathomable numbers. During the industrial revolution, and additionally the sophistication of AI, many of the Nusian fleets were modernised and fully automated, as per most of the world’s militaries.

Politics The Noobs follow a cutthroat political structure, with a fiercely contested congress controlled by two mainstream parties, the Modernists and the Traditionalists. Despite their differences vanity-wise, both parties are quietly funded by various powerful corporations within the Nusian sphere of culture. Most who criticise this political structure are promptly fired out of their jobs, cast out as crazed people, and practically exiled from social structures. Presidents are usually elected by the people through nation-wide votes, but each province is not required to count these votes appropriately, by law. Hence, in most elections, big corporations end up significantly influencing the vote in certain high-density provinces in order to win a favourable head-of-state. If a president is assassinated, killed, or dies in office, it is usually the Nusian Security Council’s decision to elect an emergency president.

Society Nusian society follows a hierarchical societal structure, with those descending from people with certain wealth and class being granted extreme privilege and influence, while those aren’t… well… aren’t. Thankfully, the societal structures aren’t as ladder-locked as other societies. As a Noob, you can expect to see yourself climb the ranks of society if you are to work hard enough (usually pulling off 12 hour shifts 7 days a week, for ~20 years), have good enough appearance, or have some technical skill that the government / military / powerful corporations would notice. However, for most in Nusian society, there is a sentiment of “Minimum wage, minimum expectations” where you are expected by society to be diligent and happy with what you have, as those who risk climbing the ladder can end up dying overwork, committing suicide, or whatnots. The average Nusian has a decent salary, at roughly 200,000 Nolic / year (roughly equivalent to $40,000 USD in our world’s currency).

Segregation is very much varied in Nusian society. In the capital city, you can expect yourself to be welcomed as an addition to the pot of multiculturalism, while the coastal cities and highlands will hold extreme prejudice and hate towards newcomers. In certain cities, you can often find yourself (if you’re of the wrong cultural/class background) to be completely excluded from job applications, get ignored by professors in university, and chosen for menial jobs. Segregation in the army still exists to this day, where people of partial or full Nusian background are eligible for military service.

Fashion and clothing in the Nusian societies have extremely high expectations of beauty. For men, you are expected to have a chiselled jawline, deep and cutting eyes, and have a slim nose, as well as various fashion trends such as uncomfortable trench coats and hairbands. For women, your society-accepted clothing choices are quite limited, and that choice range typically includes one-size-too-small dresses, fever-inducing skincare and stinging makeup. However, for most people living within Nusian society, they believe that these standards are the most civilised and modern things to have ever come out of Robloxians.

GEOGRAPHY

Currently, there is no custom cartographer to make maps for the universe. However, the geography of the DvN universe bears strong resemblance to the Triassic period of Earth, when Pangea was splitting apart. Erikase, the larger continent, resides on the eastern hemisphere, while Elison, the smaller continent, resides on the western hemisphere.

Erikase’s continental form resembles that of a C, clamping down on the Elison landmass. Due to the geography of the waters in this clamp, it made naval exploration extremely difficult due to its strong water and wind currents. Even to this day, a naval exploration of this magnitude is out of the question.

Erikase’s southern tip is similar to the Russian Siberian steppes. The equatorial region is akin to that of the Amazonian jungle.

TIMELINE: 998 - A flotilla of colony ships arrive in the Cascadian islands. Contact is quickly lost. 1655 - The now strong and well-off nation of Cascada attempts to re-contact by crossing the treacherous seas. The re-contact teams come back empty handed due to difficult language barriers. 1722 - A convoy of exploratory ships meant for southern Erikase accidentally rides the wrong winds, ending up in modern-day Nusia. The settlers begin constructing a nation. 1738 - With the help of gunpowder, guns, and beasts-of-burden (akin to horses), the Nusian colonists quickly spread over the Erikase continent and easily annexed Imperial Guesa. 1824 - White Coast Royal Security is founded by Pi Yaoxi. Acts as a private military company, frequently hired by the royal family for important/personal missions. 1842 - 1st Guesan civil war erupts in Imperial Guesa, between republicans (who wish for a democratic/federal style of government) and monarchists (who support the current incumbent regime). After 9 months of fighting, the monarchists are victorious and the current royal family stays in power. 1855 - Steam engine is invented. Industrial revolution begins. 1878 - A paper on nuclear fission reaction is made, but never reaches the patent office. Nuclear weapons and energy are never made. 1938 - War-K breaks out. between the Kint Pact and the Kiwan Treaty Organization. Nusia and Pinzhao decide to send military aid to their respective sides, but refuse sending boots on the ground. 1940 - Nusian Military adopts the N8 ETD as a marksmen rifle somewhere in the 1940s 1949 - After 11 years in hard attritional conflict, both sides accept a treaty brokered by Imperial Guesa. Noticeable wane in power from both sides of the conflict, followed by the rise of Dominia and Nusia. 1957 - First man in space, by Guesan scientists. 1964 - H66 is adopted into service in the Dominian Armed Forces. 1967 - First moon landings performed by Nusian republic. 1970 - New drug called "Spice" (Not the thing you put on your food) was found by Nusian Miners, Nusian Authorities eventually banned the Drug from the Public, due to its addictiveness 1972 - Y-88 is adopted into service with the Guesan Armed Forces. Various Variants include the Y-88S (folding stock), Y-88M (modernised around 1995), Y-88B (shortened barrel) 1975 - H94 (modern-day Dominian standard issue rifle) is adopted into service, replacing the H66. 1984 - ‘Daedalus’ is born 1985 - Nusia begins an international lunar colonisation program. Signatory countries are as follows: Republic of Nusia, Dominion of Pinzhao, Imperial Guesa, Kingdom of Slenderite, and various other minor countries. 1989 - Following heightened public enthusiasm for lunar colonisation, the Nusian module successfully lands on the lunar surface, establishing the first part of the Carnent lunar outpost. 1990 - Dominion and Guesan lunar modules follow. Two more Nusian modules are attached. 1995 - The VY-88 is modernised with the introduction of the VY-88M. Carnent lunar outpost is completed. Construction of a secondary launch site is underway for future colonisation of intersolar planets. 1996 - Astarte “Prometheus” Netter is born. 1998 - Carnent disaster. The geothermic engine powering lunar colonisation fails catastrophically, destroying much of the launch equipment and settlement efforts. International attitude towards space technology sours. 2004 - First turret technology is developed by Dominian engineers, able to distinguish between friend and foe. 2007 - Massive leap in AI technology following the release of Shara.AI, a Guesan-made program capable of a multitude of tasks. 2009 - Nusian engineers successfully reverse engineer the turret, leading to their own designs 2012 - Sebate “Trident” Matlo is born. 2014 - N2 is adopted into Nusian service. 2015 - The N2A1 (an improved variant featuring cleaner bolt assembly, rechamber button, a new dust cover and buffer stock) is adopted into service following the poor performance reports of the N2. 2018 - Nurem Pacet is born. Fusilier is 26 by the time of Dummies vs Noobs. 2019 - Augute “Achilles” Mandetle is born. 2020 - H15 is adopted into service, featuring lighter materials, integrated thermal sights, a powerful new ammo type, and foldable stock. Variants include the H15L (adjustable thermal sights), H15F (shortened barrel, lightened stock meant for paratroopers) and H15Q (chambered in a heavier 7.89x40mm cartridge) 2022 - Arctic ice has receded by 60%, a heavy increase in sea level. 2023 - Majority of ports are destroyed by rising sea levels and unpredictable extreme weather events, leading to mass starvation. For countries that grew food natively, they are not affected. Much of the food is unable to leave port, and hence the non-food-growing nations begin to starve. 2024 - Nusian congress passes the “Service and Loyalty Act”, which increases salary pay and tax cuts for those who serve in the armed forces following the economic downturn resulting from rapid climate change. 2025 - Fulgur “Tempest” Servite is born. 2028 - Nusian annexation of Guesa. The beginning of the Guesan independence movement. Somewhere after the start of the Nusian Guesan War, Guesan forces began reactivating Spice Refineries and mines to gain profit to fuel their operations 2031 - Following heavy losses, Nusia announces a mass conscription plan to supplement numbers. Nurem “Fusilier” Pacet’s parents are conscripted due to an administrative error. 2032 - Sebate “Trident” Matlo quits his job as a riot control officer, due to accidentally killing an anti-war protestor. 2033 - Category 9 hurricane sweeps through northern Erikase, destroying Dominian cities. Experts cite rapid climate change as a source of the problem. Events of HELLMET. 2035 - The N2A2 “Bolter”, an improved version of the N2A1 is adopted into service. 2038 - A formal agreement is settled between the Guesan independence movement and the republic of Nusia following extreme public pressure to end the war. Guesa would be semi-autonomous and function as a self-governing province, but would still respond to federal requests by the Nusian government. Nusian Government takes down the remaining Guesan Spice refineries and mines. 2039 - Border skirmish between Nusian and Dominian Soldiers snowballs into a large-scale war. The conflict quickly freezes into attritional stalemate, with neither side making any significant gains, due to destroyed industry and populations from the effects of climate change. 2040 - Nusian engineers design the Platform, a walking artillery piece that fired super-heavy ammunition. Tide of the war has changed, Nusia is now on the offensive. 2041 - Heavy losses sustained forces Pinzhao to adopt the H94 back into service, to replace the expensive H15. 2043 - Dominian scientists stumble upon [%NETWORK ERROR : SECURITY REDACTION]. Unable to bear the reality, they commit suicide. 2044 - Canonical events of Dummies vs Noobs. Plus nearly all special units recovered and confirmed KIA 2045 - Conclusion of Dummies vs Noobs.
