Basic idea
The idea of this thread is to describe the generals in your nation that lead your military, army, air force, whatever. The idea behind this thread is to use generals that you’ve actually RPed with. (So their character would actually influence the course of events).

On stars and such
I know many of you like to have the BEST everything, but for the sake of fairness I'm asking you to restrain yourselves a bit. :) I have decided not to impose a complex system of points that can be allocated on a certain general (which I considered) because people should be free to RP as they please.

However, it is better to have a well-RPed mediocre general with distinctive flaws and good points then to have a hulk-sized Napoleon who can do everything from leading troops into front combat to thinking out brilliant strategies to commanding vast space fleets with only a joystick and a keyboard.

Very good generals are rare and very often your general will have been influenced by the culture that they have grown up in. For example, the generals of a pacifist nation will generally shy away from excessive force and offensive doctrine. But also in a military nation there can be trouble, for example because a ‘prussian officer mentality’ may cause a disregard for technological warfare, and religious zealots may take great risks… well, I’m leaving that to you.

The format:
See below. Please just quote my post and fit your general[s] in. That way it is easy to compare them and it also looks neater that way.

EDIT: Major engagement / operation
A *war* (or 'operation') is not a *major engagement*. A major engagement is when actual fighting takes place at a certain spot. For example, WWII is not a major engagement. 'Stalingrad' is.

EDIT: 'classified' wars?
Please. There is no such thing as a 'classified' war. Nor is MAJOR combat (I'm talking about Pearl Harbours and Wolf 359s here) generally 'classified.'

Even if you are an übersecretive regime, just post the major engagements anyway. It can be OOC knowledge or something but you cannot compare generals with classified tags.

EDIT:On value stars and their requirements.
Due to image limitations, I could not post this in the first post, but here (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7156713&postcount=27) are the requirements for assigning certain star values to your generals.

’General’ de Kaste
Basic information:
Rank: Marshall-General
Command: Commander-in-Chief, Knootian Defence Force
Status: Active
Picture: n/a

History
Biography: Unusually old for a Knootian, De Kaste was born just after the military withdrawal from the Knootian East Indies in a pre-eminent Knootian bourgeois family with a long history of influential positions in government. His son Maurijn was married to the former Biotopian head of state. De Kaste quickly gained ranks in the KDF officer corps and was assigned a position in the general staff at the age of thirty-one.

As a general, de Kaste presided over the operations against FARC in Colombia and was highest-ranking Knootian during the joint Knootian/Chimaean operations in Colombia. De Kaste was promoted to full General when the nation joined SATO and became effectively the highest-ranking military officer of the nation’s tiny military. He was supreme Knootian commander during all SATO operations for the entire period of Knootian membership. He thought up the innovative dropping of paratroopers in the Der Angst capital during a Stalinist uprising to secure the city. More notably, he was in charge when the Dominion (GDODAD) invaded Knootoss during the Shadow War. He coordinated the failed defence of The Hague and the SATO attempt to retake the city. Another major engagement during the shadow war was the SATO assault on Brotherhood of Nod forces that had landed in South Holland. It is held against de Kaste that he was unable to prevent the destruction of the EOTED battlefleet during the Shadow War. He was also unable to prevent Dominion forces from landing at strategically important locations. However, after the war he was promoted to the specially created position of Marshall-General and given the position of Commander-in-Chief to improve military coordination. De Kaste was in charge of several Knootian peace missions and other operations. (See: Knootian history) De Kaste is currently in charge of Operation Tempo Doeloe in Tanah Burung. De Kaste is known for having a calm appearance, and keeping cool under any circumstance. He only speaks when absolutely necessary. De Kaste is rumoured to have an affair with his special assistant, Tanya.

Operations: Colombian intervention, Colombian peacekeeping, Reich Containment Effort (RCE), Shadow War, Red Bracelet war, SATO peacekeeping in Bloodreign, Operation Rattling Sabre, Operation Tempo Doeloe

Warlord Konrad Althalon

Basic information:
Rank: Warlord
Command: Aurontel, Io. Controls 5 Imperial Space Fleets, interim commander of Horizon and the attendant Sixth Fleet. Oversees the activities of the Io marines, comprising of roughly 800,000 active duty forces and about 2.3 million reservists. Also holds immediate authority over any and all soldiers sent to Io from earth.
Status: Active. Very active.
Picture: Not available. Silentwhisper went down and I havent replaced me files yet.

History

Biography: Grew up in Nova Rhûn; entered the military at an early age and went through officer's training. Althalon's forte is melee combat as opposed to marksmanship--he's hardly the best shot with a pistol or a rifle but can whoop the shit out of an Uruk berserker in a hand to hand or melee fight, which is saying a lot. He first made an impression on his superiors when he demostrated this ability as a Taskmaster in the EOTED invasion, soundly putting down a small band of deserters on the plains of Ax-Turath with a small contingent of his colleagues. Althalon was the only survivor. Later, he was hired by the now defunct Xaosis corporation to train and lead the company's private army, which saw limited action in Rukemia during the Coalition War. Was elevated to Warlord Status shortly before Sky Marshal Marcus Garrand was lifted to the post. Often noted for his stamina and utter refusal to die, the Warlord [then still merely a high ranking officer] was shot seven times by a rogue Xaosis agent during the company's defection. Althalon was the first Warlord appointed by Lord Melkor since Alkanphel took the post of High Warlord upon the Five Kingdoms' inception.

Operations: Rank and file soldier in the EOTED and All Elves invasions, and the First Rukemian war. Assumed a command post for the Coalition War, the First Mars debacle [not Op Roundhammer], the Battle of the Burning Sky [Io], and the Burninatonia thing. And the War That Never Happened But Did [tm]
Major engagements: I just sort of listed them above. I probably forgot a few, though.

Strategic value
Value: Four stars. Althalon's more of a tactics-type general: most of the strategic doctrine is governed by Melkor and Alkanphel.
Doctrine: Offensive. Very offensive.
Specialty: Ground forces operations. He's becoming alarmingly adept at aerospace fleet engagements however, as evidenced by his acheiving parity with Trium forces in the Battle of the Burning Sky, despite having faced much more experienced commanders.
Qualities: Brilliant tactician, excellent leadership skills/charisma
Flaws: Althalon has quite the short fuse, and the time he's spending on Io is slowly nudging him towards insanity. He's hot-headed at times, but tries to be practical enough to acknowledge his own faults. Just look at Io for chrissakes.

Hmm the format seems reminiscent of HoI. Me likes, nice idea, and so appropriate for my nation now... not that I'm hinting at anything.

He commanded the Fleet while Salm briefly ruled the Empire, though it appears he was in the process of forming a resistance movement against the Arch Traitor when he was beaten to the punch by the Duke himself. He has since been the Duke's advisor in all military matters, occasionally in the political arena as well. However, the failure of the Draconian-Rossian Alliance illustrated his incompotence in the field of national leadership.

(I understood this, but I put the Resi War anyway as an all-inclusive thing and because there weren't really any distinctive engagements in that ass of an RP.)

OOC: Okay..well.....I actually can't remember any military actions that my guy has been in (except the war I'm currently in) and so I put up the *Classified* instead of "Well, I forget"

Ah... I turned on Display Images, and that fixed it.

Do you have 'display images' on 'off'?

Thanks for that. I did wonder why everyone had taken to posting hyperlinks to images instead of images themselves.

Samblevski managed to promote himself to Commander in chief and held firm control of the small Tadjik army that still retained old Soviet equipment. He was not much of a tactician and left that job to Mirzoyev. During the civil war Samblevski convinced the government Tadjikistan should have a strong army and received his funds but could not prevent Rahmonov giving Mirzoyev command of the new army and the possibility to buy whatever equipment he wanted. Samblevski satisfied himself with a new Tadjik Airforce instead instead.

Istvan Vaikov
Basic information:
Rank: Command General of the First Red Jaguar Command, Supreme Republican Commander, One-Hundreman of the Retaliatory Guard
Command: Supreme Commander of the Retaliatory Guard
Status: Retired


History
Biography: Istvan Vaikov is a career Red Jaguar. He reached the rank of Leftenant in the Logistics Corp of the Third Red Jaguar Command when he was appointed to Supreme Republican Commander by the Communist Republican Party, party members included his brother, father and brother in law, he was seen as a recipient of the C.R.P.'s rampant cronyism. Istvan Vaikov diligently modernized the Retaliatory Guard and worked under the tutelage of the legendary Purifier General The Right Honourable Sir William 'The Patient' Issem, who taught him to fanatically uphold republican and democratic principles of the Free Republic. His principles were tested when his family and the Communist Party attempted a coupe when they lost elections by a landslide. Uncle Istvan, as he would become known savagely suppressed the Communist insurgency, killed his own family and re-instituted Democratic Rule. He has also twice earned the Accord of the One-Hundredman (100+ confirmed enemy kills in a single battle.).
Operations: Suppression of the Communist insurgency, yearly wargames of the Retaliatory Guard
Major engagements: The Lumpen Conflict, The Milosylvanian Conflict, The Zenki/Yurkha Slave War, The Phyrric Civil War, The Haven Conflict.

Strategic value
Value:
Doctrine: The Retaliatory Guard doctrine and Red Jaguar Doctrines are explained here: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=347434
Specialty: Logistics, strategic planning and special operations
Qualities: Like the legendary Hannibal of Carthage Uncle Istvan can make his men laugh and put them at ease in any situation, Uncle Istvan also is a master at owning changing situations.He is a master of ambush and excels in chaotic seemingly out of control situations. His unpredictability is deadly. Experience. He is nearing his 50th birthday and has been in the Retaliatory Guard since the age of eighteen, his years of hands on combat experience has given him nerves of steel and confidence that other Generals only dream of.
Flaws: Years of taking the drug Ixpei has left him, like most of the Red Jaguar 'unhinged' and prone to blinding, brutal violence. He is also at times, overly dependant on his officers.



Adan Ring
Basic information:
Rank: Supreme Republican Commander
Command: Supreme Commander of the Retaliatory Guard
Status: Active


History
Biography: Adan Ring is the consumate 'Purifier', man of Coventry and soldier. Reared and raised in Coventry with no higher aspiration than being accepted into the legendary Purifiers Army Adan Ring learned discipline, chivalry, tactics and virtue. Excelling in the Retaliatory Guard Academy he was accepted into the Purifiers as a Leftenant in the famed 2nd Purifiers Division under General William 'The Patient Issem'. Adan Ring's training excelled and he became a masterful Colonel, then Field Marshal, General and then finally THE pre-eminent Command General. Adan Ring has been the mastermind behind the Retaliatory Guard combat planning for 4 years now, achieving fame for innovative tactics in the Phyrric Civial War and for ending the Haven Conflict in two weeks. It is fully expected that Adan Ring will be the next Supreme Republican Commander.
Operations: The Communist Insurgency, Cyberjaya Conflict, The Phyrric Civial War, the Haven Conflict, Invasion of Karmanyaka
Major engagements: Commanded forces in the Haven Conflict, planned operations in the Phyrrhic Civil War and Cyberjaya , planned and led operations in the invasion of Karmanyaka.

Specialty: Planning, Attacking and Strategic Assessment.
Qualities: Adan Ring has taken the Issem family doctrine to heart, that is 'Battles are won before armies ever take the field.' Like a master chess player Adan Ring has literally mapped out his troops movements well in advance of deployment. Like Napoleon he moves quickly and without concern for the enemy,sticking to his nebulous plan, forcing the enemy to react to his movements. In the Haven Conflict he demoralized the enemy by turning their 450,000 to 180,000 numerical advantage into a disadvantage with his lightning quick perfectly planned maneuvers, reducing the enemy by over 50% while only suffering 5% casualties himself. The moral of soldiers under his command is high, their training and preparation impeccable and their confidence unwavering.
Flaws: The only flaws apparent are his mercy and genuine compassion for enemy civilians and soldiers. He actively does his best to emulate the best qualities of the honourable and chivalrous 'Knights Purifier' of the old Kingdom of Coventry. This has earned him the moniker of the 'White Knight'. It has yet to be seen if his compassion can be taken advantage of.

Colonel Erdogan has been awarded the Accord of the One-Hundredman no less than five times, over three thousand enemy kills are attributed to Colonel Erdogan.

Doctrine: The Retaliatory Guard doctrine and Red Jaguar Doctrines are explained here: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=347434
Specialty: Special Operations
Qualities: Consumate attacker. Colonel Erdogan fears nothing, that is an understatement, Erdogan absolutely fears nothing. He will attack regardless of odds and always uses ambush, trickery, deceit and any other advantage he can possibly find to gain the upper hand. He is ruthless, savage and simply 'wills' he and his men to victory in instances where survival was questionable at the outset. Colonel Erdogan does not comprehend such concepts as 'defeat' or 'retreat', or even 'pity' or 'mercy'.
Flaws: Colonel Erdogan is most certainly not fit for larger command. His willful disregard for the enemy and his own mens lives makes it dangeous for him to command any more than the two thousand fanatical Red Jaguar that follow him. He is only useful when contained by a larger strategic policy and is used to break stubborn enemy resistance.

I will limit myself to characters still living, kicking out a few others from FAR in the past...

Adèle Autain
Basic information:
Rank: 9th Grade Student
Command: Until the cataclysm, full access to the Gandhi Security Solutions Assets.
Status: Unknown

History
Biography: A typical 'New Generation' Angstian. More than just slightly racist towards non- psionics in particular, and non- augmented in general. Genocidal tendencies. As mentioned bfore, 9th grade student with a certain fascination for RTS Simulations, and, due to her rather excessive skills in this sector, employed by Gandhi Security Solutions as part time employee. I really can't give a 'normal' biography, for obvious reasons...
Operations: Took part in the (failed) Glorious Humanity campain, basic logistics and reconnaissance, as well as electronic warfare. While the operation itself was a failure, her own actions inside the operation were reasonably successful, especially considering the problems the 'covert' style of operations meant.

History
Biography: Jacen grew up in Thresh, the capitol city. He was a fairly unremarkable child, never doing anything that was worth notice by the government. When he was drafted, it was discovered that he had a latent talent for death. He quickly rose through the ranks and became a member of the Gekidoku SAA (Special Assignments and Assassination) squad. During this time, he was given control of the SAA squad during the NATO/North Korean war, where he successfully oversaw the capture of the airport of the city of Wonsan. He also commanded the movement of all SOET during the assault on Kumya. He served in the SAA for many years, until it was disbanded under Erik Chaknov. He was exiled from the nation because of Erik's paranoia of all of the nation's assassins. Recently, with the overthrow of Erik and the placement of Erik's sister Ellison in the position of leadership, Jacen has come back to the nation. He was given a commanding position and has proven himself worthy of this position time and again within the nation against insurgents. Currently also commanding officer of the Scythe SAA squad.
Operations: NATO/North Korean war (the original)

Vance Reginald Kaerion
Basic information:

Status: Active Duty

History
Biography: General Kaerion and his Kestrels arrived in the Order almost thirty years ago. With them, they had brought Advanced Technology, to include Armored power-suits and high-tech weapons. Where he came from and why he and his people did not age anywhere near as quickly as the inhabitants of the Earth they were on was recently revealed when several starships from both the future and another universe arrived in orbit.
It was revealed that Vance R. Kaerion and his sister, Callies, were the sole children of Duke Edmund and Dutchess Helen Kaerion, of the world Corinthia. His father a Commander of Troops as well, and a quite successful one at that, he tought his children how to lead up until his death. While their parents were being arrested and executed for trumped-up charges of treason, they escaped to the Outer Rim, where they began piecing together a Mercenary Regiment so that one day they could return home and have a...chat with those who murdered their family. In the meantime, the Mercenary Regiment known as Kaerion's Kestrels grew into a small legend, being forces which anyone could call for almost any job and know it would get done, one way or another. Kaerion never did make it back home; the rift which swallowed the BASTION and deposited the Kestrels with him on the clean-up into the present-day Earth.

Doctrine: Offensive
Specialty: Specializes in Ground Operations, particularally Infantry (STARMORED/ARMORED). Prefers hit-and-fade tactics, which he also uses with proficiency when forced to in starship engagements.
Qualities: Knows how to take advantage of technological superiority/inferiority, utilize combined-arms forces. Very concerned with the well-being of his soldiers, down to even the lowest enlisted, to the point of being willing to risk his own life to rescue said Private. Very strong ideals/morals, making him willing to volunteer the Kestrels for 'charity work' to help out an 'underdog.'
Flaws: Very strong ideals/morals, excluding the Kestrels from some contracts while at other times placing them in very dangerous and impossible situations, also sometimes leading him to be taken advantage of....Which is then followed up by a destructive display of his very short temper. Overly protective of his sister to the point of having risked destruction of a higher-value asset and its crew to rescue her. Thinks too agressively to make a successful diplomat. Eats, breathes, sleeps his job, which is wearing him down far too quickly.

On ‘value’ stars and their requirement:
Seeing as there is a little, shall we say, inflation in the numbers people are assigning to their generals it might be a good idea to give an overview of what I consider to be indicative of stars. Quality and merits are VERY important in assigning stars, as many of you have done. However these are, in my opinion, minimum standards. Assigning a higher value then displayed here based on 'personality' should only be done very rarely. Lower values should be quite common: someone can have led a lot of major engagements but still be incompetent.

One star: http://www.untl.labor.net.au/images/search/star.gif
The single star of shame is for incompetent, badly trained or extremely inexperienced generals whose flaws outweigh any benefits, making him/her a liability rather then an asset. Still, they can get a single star for being there when there is actual fighting and being able to give orders and such.
Requirement: Ability to wear a uniform and give orders
Two stars:http://www.untl.labor.net.au/images/search/star.gifhttp://www.untl.labor.net.au/images/search/star.gif
A competent but somewhat inexperienced general, or an experienced general who has flaws or is only good in certain situations. This will be the default general in nations that are not on a constant war footing.
Requirement: EITHER participated in at least one [RPed] operation OR had an officers training

Three stars:http://www.untl.labor.net.au/images/search/star.gifhttp://www.untl.labor.net.au/images/search/star.gifhttp://www.untl.labor.net.au/images/search/star.gif
A general who has proven himself in battle. Competent, but not exceptionally brilliant. Someone with three stars ought to have some combat experience at the very least.

Requirements: Participated in at least one [RPed] operation
Participated in or led at least one major engagement
No fatal flaws
Four stars:http://www.untl.labor.net.au/images/search/star.gifhttp://www.untl.labor.net.au/images/search/star.gifhttp://www.untl.labor.net.au/images/search/star.gifhttp://www.untl.labor.net.au/images/search/star.gif
Four stars are given to generals who have proven themselves in battle and have ample experience in the act of warfare. In addition, they are brilliant leaders, managers or strategists who have made a real difference in a nation's military history.
Requirements:
Participated in at least three [RPed] operations
Led at least two major [RPed] engagements, victorious in at least one.
Must be brilliant. Executed at least one innovative [Rped] feat. These are maneuvers or new tactics that made a difference in an engagement. References to such feats can be posted in the bio.
No fatal flaws

Five stars: *****
The general is a tactically and strategically brilliant general and extremely experienced in a multitude of ways. A Napoleon or an Alexander the Great. Five stars ought to be reserved for only the cream of the cream: a man who conquered three nations with inferior force, with kill ratios of 50:1 due to brilliant [Roleplayed!] tactics. Remember that roleplayed engagements should prove this brilliance! Simply claiming that he is a genius will not do. Five stars really is for generals who conquered or liberated entire continents.

Requirements:
Participated in or led at least three [RPed] operations
Led at least two major [RPed] engagements, victorious in at least two.
Must be brilliant. Executed at least two innovative [Rped] feats. These are maneuvers or new tactics that made a difference in an engagement. References to such feats can be posted in the bio.

Knoot, could you describe 'fatal flaws'?

Fatal flaws:
Well... its a concept I introduced to make sure that only good generals make the top. People tend to go RAWR I R TEH BETTER sometimes. An incompetent general [say, a fourteen year old boy] can have a lot of experience simply because he happens to be in command of the military. . He might 'fight' and even win battles but that does not make this person a good leader.

To take an example from the list: (please do not take this personally) Corzare Zaphiir (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7153207&postcount=9) is a general whose "[[I]military] mindset is firmly routed in the early 1900s" and who thinks "that every battle can be won through attrition".

I'd say that despite any other merits he may have in the field or artillery management and such... well, that sorta disqualifies him for a four-star rating IMHO.

The concept can be applied liberally, but I was just trying to get some sort of pseudo-objective measure of 'quality'

Keeping in mind that the overall strategic concept in NS is either attrition or terror (i.e. ortillery), the good general wouldn't be all that wrong...

Quite frankly, even the blitzresque conflicts I have seen in NS involved LOTS of attrition.

Edit: And in a world with LOTS of nations, LOTS of alliances etc. on a comparable level of industrialization, as well as neverending conflict, and hence, a constant flow of strategic & tactical development, nothing else is to be expected.

Yea, I see where you are coming from but the 4 stars are the value to Kriegorgrad. Also, while he does believe in attrition, he does it wisely, moving up slowly while laying down trenches, I'll edit that in because people must of got the wrong impression.

Name of General here Admiral Marcus Patinkin
Basic information:
Rank: (currently held rank, or rank held at the moment of death): Admiral
Command: (currently held command, or position held at the momenth of death): Commands the First Fleet, which includes the very best crews, ships, etc. in the Incorporated Sarzonian Navy.
Status: (active, retired, killed in action, missing in action, other): Active

History
Biography: (personal background, previously held commands, other things of note) Patinkin has two children, including a daughter Katie who is on her way to her first command. He lost his finace during the war against Holy Panooly, which was the first war Sarzonia fought in.
Operations: (Military operations and wars that the general has taken part in. Roleplayed engagements only.) Patinkin has served as the second-in-command of the Sarzonian navy during its first action, which was a naval engagement against Feazanthia. Despite inferior firepower, numbers, and experience, the Sarzonian navy nearly won the engagement. Patinkin also served during the war against Holy Panooly and in nearly every war or military engagement Sarzonia has been involved with.
Major engagements: (Major military engagements lead by the general. These must be actually *roleplayed* engagements. If no such engagements exist: "none") Patinkin commanded the naval forces during the war against CorpSac (on the International Mall board because the NS forums were down). His negotiating tactics to "fight crazy with crazy" turned the tide in the war and eventually led to Sarzonia and Praetonia winning the war. He also assumed command during the military engagement against Feazanthia and took over command of the Navy during the war against Holy Panooly when Admiral Charles Taylor was relieved of command. [OOC: The RP didn't finish because HP said he was leaving NS at the time.]

Doctrine: (Offensive / Defensive)
Specialty: (This is what your General has 'experience' with. Depends on what level the general has. A lower-ranked general could have 'Cavalry' or 'Armoured engagements' here while a general on the general staff may have more affinity with a certain branch. For example 'Navy'. Such a general could be very good, but have no experience commanding space fleets.)
Qualities: (things your general is good at insofar they influence combat. "brilliant tactician", "logistics expert" "charismatic", etc. If a General has no qualities: "none".) Terrific managment skills. Excellent negotiator. Some experience in air combat.
Flaws: (The opposite of qualities. Mention at least as many flaws as qualities. Mentioning more flaws is allowed, of course if you have a sucky general there will be more flaws..) Sometimes overly cautious. Doesn't play "by the book" enough for the top brass. No experience with space or army forces.

(Note: Just because they were not RP'd in NS doesn't mean they weren't RP'd at all. The High Orcs have a substantial Roleplayed history (that I've run table-top wise in PFRPG 2nd Ed.), where I grew to love these characters. Also note that there is an entire clan composed of generals and military leaders that number into the millions now.)


Manus Trebelium
Basic information:
Rank: EnheilRas
Command: EnheilRas, Chieftain of High Fist and General of all Orcish Armies
Status: Current EnheilRas
Picture:
(In Signature)

History
Biography: He is the head of the High Fist Clan and the general of the Orcish Forces. His title translates literally as The Warmaster. Manus is a true-born general, and his tactical skills and expertise are among the best in the realms (Palladium). He fights fearlessly and merciilessly, always leading his troops into battle himself. HIs only flaws are his impatience and occassionally short temper.
Operations: The Palladium Elf-Dwarf War, ChumRas Orka Campaign I, II, and III (Current)
Major engagements: The Battle of Balraga, the Siege of Aieer

Strategic value
Value: The value of the EnheilRas is incomprehensible
Doctrine: Offense (though regulates to Offensive Defense)
Specialty: Manus Excells in ground-based assault footmen. He has lead countless charges on foot and his current kill-count is unknown. He understands offensive assaults very well, and can make accurate estimations on troop numbers, siege engines, and calvalry.
Qualities: Manus has a keen I.Q. (if it were to be tested) of 150. This qualifies the High Orc on a genius level. He is hard-nosed, and usually positive about things militarily. He is incredibily charismatic when it comes to those whom would follow him, and a conviction dedicated to the ChumRas Orka like none other. He is level headed when it comes to pre-planning for war, and to situations that may seem dreadful or desperate, he sees as setbacks in the grand scheme of things. His one objective is the ChumRas Orka. Until he has accomplished this, he will stop at nothing, and he will let absolutely nothing get in his way or hold him back.
Flaws: Manus tends to be rather impatient when he wants or needs something, and he has a really bad temper and is quite short, and when set off, can turn him into a beserk warrior.

Trabian Riil
Basic information:
Rank: Advisor
Command: Tactician
Status: Active
Picture:
None

History
Biography: Trabian is the army's Master Tactian. He acts as a strategist and coordinator alongside Manus. He is a Fire Warlock and Brilliant Military Genius. He was an a very unlikely choice for the position (because he's not a fighter), but Manus trusts his judgement. The two of them work very well together.
Operations: ChumRas Orka I, II, & III
Major engagements: Battle of Balraga, Siege of Aieer

Strategic value
Value: Is not a General
Doctrine: Both Offensive and Defense
Specialty: Trabian is the Mastermind behind Arda's terrifying Elemental Defense. Trabian was a former Warlock studying in the Golden Sky, a clan dedicated to nature. He was his idea to twist the use of the Elemental Spirits to be able to distort and desentigrate enemy transmissions and observations from space, acting as a near impenetrable shield for the region.
Qualities: Trabian is extremely intelligent (moreso than Manus), and is a very calm and astute person. He tends to focus a lot on how magic can be used flexibly within situations (namely the inclusion of his own power-types), and effectively interweaves them into troop movements.
Flaws: Trabian tends to rely too much on Magic, and his pro-stance tends to get on edge with Teel Ikorum, his polar opposite. The two often get in fights over their stances on magic and technology, and Teel seems to be the one person that can get Trabian's inner fire heated.

Teel Ikorum
Basic information:
Rank: Father of the Knights
Command: Leader and Spokesman of the High Fist Clan's Orcish Knights
Status: Active
Picture:
None

History
Biography: Teel's title is the Father of the Knights. It is an honorary position as leader of and spokesman for the High Fists cClan's Orcish Knights. He is a very dignified warrior, who believes in honor and the Orcish cause. He distrusts magic and bears and animosity towards Trabian.
Operations: The Elf-Dwarf War, ChumRas Orka I, II, III
Major engagements: Teel fought in the latter quarter under the Elven Bondage, He was highly active in Balraga, and Aieer. He was present in several incidents, including the Christoniac incident (along with Trabian, Manus, Delgon, and Ignex)

Strategic value
Value: Teel's Leadership is a priceless example of purity of the skell
Doctrine: Offensive
Specialty: Teel's true specialty is armor and heavy assault. He enjoys heavy weapons, and knows how to form and use siege engines better than any other Orc. He enjoys planning calvalry deployments and often uses the Pointblade, Belca Bristleback, and the Flaming Skull as toys to play around with in major assaults. He is currently the caregiver of the Raging Bear Clan, the largest clan of the nation, filled with hundreds of millions of Non-Orcs, and has no objections with using them as troop fodder.
Qualities: Teel is a Warrior, true & true. He enjoys tough, fair fights, and challenges. He rose to this position by strength of will and courage.
Flaws: Teel's mainstay is that, while he is often very brave and can work out most problems with muscle, he isn't as intelligent as Trabian or Manus, and becomes enraged whenever people begin to doubt his ability to be smart (or inability). This easily angers him, and his rage has killed more than one general on occassion. His fights with Trabian over magical applications in warfare are almost legendary throughout the clans.

Riga

Command: Leader of the Clan of the Red Blade
Status: Active

History
Biography: Riga has long been a constant of what piety can do to warp the mind. Leading a large Clan of warriors in dedication to Lopnel, the Red God of Conquest, the Orc with the single name, Riga, has been turned into a celebrity among Orcs and humans alike for his frank, brutal nature and harsh, sarcastic humor. All this is a front to his incredibly gifted talent to training young Knights and squires into being among the best of warriors, and those elite are gifted into being in his personal squad: The Juggernauts.
Operations: ChumRas Orka I, II, III
Major engagements: Battle of Balraga, Siege of Aieer, Aelosian Preparation

Strategic value
Value: It's unknown whether Riga causes more conflicts than he ends.
Doctrine: Offensive
Specialty: Riga's elaborate personality allows him to blend a majority of Footman and Dorn riders with light magical support to create a, "complex blend of ass-kickery."
Qualities: Riga has little qualities. It's unknown how he got to the status of Clan Leader.
Flaws: If any flaw be in Riga, it's his personality. He likes to make fun of people, no matter their status, and is quick to take hits on most diplomats hoity-toity attitudes. He's incredibly outspoken, and has ridiculed most everyone he meets, including the majority of the ruling council of Aelosia. He's allowed to do this because he realizes that Manus doesn't care what he says or does because Riga has no power to declare anything official. He abuses this as much as he can.

The Alcoholism doesn't help much either.

Flaws: A little conceited, Noventa is known for his perfectionist attitudes. He has been known for tearing apart whole operations and start from the beginning due to "flaws" in the planning.

Some have said that he possesses the ability to tell the future, but that has been continuously discounted.
Flaws: He detests the idea of planning out campaigns, believing that all plans are shot when the shooting starts. Therefore, he refuses to prepare for any possible space conflict with another nation or empire until the last minute.

Istvan Farkas
Basic information:
Rank: General
Command: 5th Tank Guards
Status: Active, on campaign.

History
Biography: Istvan Farkas was born May 11th, 1964. Coming from the Farkas family, with its long military history, it was only natural that he joined up, advancing quickly because of his talent. His first real command was a squad of T-72's, that frequently made incursions into the borderlands of Altar Rang. His next notable command was a heavy tank/tank destroyer brigade that participated in numerous defensive actions against incursions by Altar Rangian factions. He was given the command of the enormous 5th Tank Guards about 2 years ago. In the Callisdrunian military, during peace time, incredibly competitive war games go on seemingly continuously, so many opportunities presented themselves. Unfortunately, his self doubt and obsessive humility have kept him from achieving a higher rank and command.
Operations: Participated in a bloody internal feud, and the mad dash across a neighboring country simply known as "The Dictatorship."
Major engagements: First Battle of Drun in the Sorvik-Harthy feud.

Doctrine: Usually Defensive, though recently has done well Offensively as well.
Specialty: Unorthodox tank warfare and night combat
Qualities: Charismatic, imaginative tactician
Flaws: excessively humble, low self-confidence

Keeping in mind that the overall strategic concept in NS is either attrition or terror (i.e. ortillery), the good general wouldn't be all that wrong...

Quite frankly, even the blitzresque conflicts I have seen in NS involved LOTS of attrition.

Edit: And in a world with LOTS of nations, LOTS of alliances etc. on a comparable level of industrialization, as well as neverending conflict, and hence, a constant flow of strategic & tactical development, nothing else is to be expected.


Thanks for the support Der Angst, I just understood what you meant, I'm a bit slow like that sometimes but I always get there...just takes a while.

bump (and considering Angstian tactics I find your support for RAWR attrition surprising, Rezo. That NS wars have lots of attrition is rather the result of, shall we say, 'enthusiastic' people playing this game a lot.) :rolleyes: )

Jee Leng Tan
Basic information:
Rank: Commander and Chief of the C-G Armed Forces, Semi-Heriditary title
Command: Guardian-Protection Agency or Simply: The Agency
Status: In Command, but desking it due to an increase in paperwork

History
Biography: When the last GP CinC of the C-GAF was turned out of office, a brief period of uncertinty rolled over the country. When a seccesor was finally voted in by the Governing body of C-G, led by the Newly Elected Prime Minster Stanley Ipkiss, they choose a dedicated officer from the ranks who had consistantly proformed his duties with honour and energy. This man, Jee Leng Tan was at that point, 45 years old.

Tan had been born into a middle class family with no backgound in the military at all. Originally joining the Reserve Force of the C-GF on a whim, when he was 18, Jee Leng soon grew enamoured with military life. He, however, choose to finish with his under-graduate degree before going into teaching. During this time, in the reserve force, he rose to the rank of Master Corporal.

As he finished off his Graduate degree, he decided to volenteer for a rotation outside of the country on a Peacekeeping operation in a vaguely known country called Somada that was in much strife.

While there, his patrol was ambushed and from that, a 2 day battle raged through out the streets of Salinamtie, the capital city, engulfing 2 platoons of C-G Soldiers. The battle was only won when the C-G Command called in an airstrike via CGF-188 using CRV-7's, an unguided rocket projectile with a 70mm warhead, followed up by an armored thrust through the crowded streets.

Only himself and his fireteam partner, one Corporal Stanley Ipkiss, made it out alive from his patrol. Ipkiss would soon leave the reserve forces.
When Tan came back, however, he found his view of the world much changed.

He was promoted to Sargeant for his actions during his Rotation in Somada, but the news media could only show the dead bodies of the civilains and militents that had ambushed his patrol. None the less, he once again took up his job as a History teacher and went to get his Masters degree. It was there he met Chew Yeen Chan, the woman that would be his wife.

Finally, with his Masters degree in hand, and his brand new wife in tow, he quit his job as a Teacher and joined the Regular Force, choosing to become an officer. There was one other thing that resulted from his Rotation in Somada. He learned that he had some very odd abilities.

From then on, he rose through the ranks, had a son he named Hong Gui Tan, established and headed a Department Agency for those like him, and finally achived the rank of Brigider-General before being apointed CinC of the C-G Armed Forces.

Operations: Was a M.C in Peacekeeping Roto 11 in Somada.
Major engagements: Battle of Salinamtie: aka "Slaughter at Somada" to some.
Other: Rumours of operations headed by and lead by Jee Leng circulate within both the country and the government.

Doctrine: Flexible, whatever works, though has not commanded through a major engagment.
Specialty: Logistics, Organisation, Personel.

Flaws: has never commanded through full blown war.[/QUOTE]

Can you please clarify what you mean?


In plain folksy talk: attrition tends to be the strategy of [teenage] people who think it boosts their ego/penis size. Not of brilliant generals. In my humble opinion.
