W e l c o m e .
Hey! Welcome to the Recruiting Thread for Zwischenzug, a non-exclusive chess-themed team focused on ambush, conversion, reconnaissance and retaliation.
This team is non-exclusive, meaning your character may still join or form other teams while receiving Zwischenzug benefits and assignments.
Mission: Protect. Avenge. Eliminate.
Side Note: Medea wants peace! Truly! However, swift elimination of opponents seems like the most efficient path. Peace, though, is totally worth it. Yep. Completely, 100% worth it. heart
Please post forms for retaliation/membership below. Thank you!

A s s i g n m e n t s .
No member need partake in every assignment type. The White Set handles combat. The Black Set handles intelligence. Members only select roles with which they feel most comfortable, though a character may acquire multiple roles in both sets. For example, one may as a white pawn, a black bishop and a black queen.
ICly, characters also receive chess pieces matching their roles. However, characters must complete one RP/Mission in their desired role to earn their piece and title.
Characters receive assignments from Medea via text.
Ambush: Using pawns as bait, members wait for a target while hiding in civilian form. Once a target appears, members power up to attack.
Conversion: Convince potential converts to purify either through force or persuasion. Informed of potential converts by Recon.
Reconnaissance: Gather intelligence about opposing factions through combat and charisma. Inform other members about particular targets, potential allies and potential converts.
Retaliation: Order members (team members or not) can submit formal requests for retaliation against specific targets. Zwischenzug will provide appropriate back up. The requester need not be present for combat, but is more than welcome to partake.
Special Assignments: Kings and Queens may recruit other members for a Special Assignment, such as protecting an asset of the opposing force, kidnappings, hostage situations or other schemes. The member approached may not receive full details of the assignment (Will be asked OOCly if they would like to know the full details of the assignment).

elza logica
Name of Order Candidate: Thraen, Senshi of Gardens
Roles Desired:White Pawn, White Knight (his magic is technically a status attack? not a heal or buff ...but still support class?), White Bishop
Abilities: He's a good researcher civ side. Powered side, he's awful at combat, but won't shirk from it. He can put many combatants to sleep with his gardens, giving time to capture enemies to subdue as hostage or kill.
Experience: Battles - Carnival (almost got starseeded), Bischofite, Celemorrow
Training - once with Eternal Maia
Encounters - has encountered youma and mirrorwraith both
Reasoning for Desired Roles: Thraen is aggressive towards Chaos aligned members, believing they need to see justice for their wanton theft of life energy and murder among a host of other crimes in the eyes of state, federal, Moon Kingdom and natural law. White path roles are more active in bringing this to be.

Name of Order Candidate: Super Sailor Persephone
Roles Desired: Black Pawn or Black Bishop
Abilities: Energy boost, minor healing
Experience: Ten months as a Senshi, several battles, and established relationships with Chaos
Reasoning for Desired Roles: Chaos people like her (and admittedly, she rather likes them...) She is a talker, not a fighter, primarily, and she would be happy to chat up people on the other side. While she'd tell the team it was for their benefit, it would actually be partially for her own, because she's eternally curious about Chaos.

elza magica
Name of Order Candidate: Eternal Sailor Tsui, Senshi of Tigers
Roles Desired: Black Rook/White Pawn
Abilities: Powered side, very open and willing to fight and can utilize her magic attack as both a combative attack that leaves her enemies momentarily stunned, as well as a means of escape if things look grim.
Experience: Battles: Ton. She has survived one major ambush, as well as encounters with a few of the strongest the Negaverse had to offer (her scars are proof of this).
Training: Participated in private one-on-one sessions with various senshi and knights.
Encounters: Youma, mirrorwraiths, Negas and DMS. She likes to think she's met them all.
Reasoning for Desired Roles: Tsui's relationship with the Negaverse and Dark Mirror Court is shaky at best. While she knows that there are a few good individuals with strong ideals and beliefs, she also knows that pure evil lurks among their ranks and that they must be put to a stop before more of her allies are hurt. Along with Ida, Athene and now Chaonis, she is a member of the Painite Survivors Support Group, and the scars she proudly shows on her hip is a reminder to her and others that sometime extreme measures need to be taken. She's taken a more protective role in the WMC with offering personal training to any Senshi or page she's come across, so she'd have no problem offering this as the Black Rook. As for White Pawn, she is always eager for action and willing to sit her neck out, and she feels as though she's gained a certain reputation among her enemies to cause some kind of effect.

elza magica
Name of Order Candidate: Sailor Phact
Roles Desired: Black Pawn, Black Bishop
Abilities: Diversion and talkative
Experience: Brand New Senshi but has seemed to be able to get out of some battles by asking a ton of questions about the other side. Still has fought a few youma.
Reasoning for Desired Roles: She knows she looks weak so she isn't afraid to be bait if needed for others to draw out chaos. Since she would rather talk than fight (or verbally fight), gathering information is more her style than sharing blows. She wants to make sure everyone is aware of what both sides believe because that drives their actions. Has no problem speaking her mind.

elza magica
Name of Order Candidate: Super Sailor Acubens
Roles Desired: Black Rook, White Bishop
Abilities: Acubens is a runner as a civilian, so she's got good speed. She's also patient enough to instruct others.
Experience: Acubens has no "expirience" so to speak, other than random nega and youme ancounters.
Reasoning for Desired Roles: Acubens' running makes her fast and agile, and her smaller frame makes it so she can hide in and fit through smaller spaces. She's also a decent teacher and while she may not be the best at instruction, she is at least persistent and encouraging. Really, she'd be better at taking "students" out onto the field instead of training from level 1.

elza magica
Name of Order Candidate:
Sailor Sidouer
Roles Desired:
Black pawn, black rook, white knight, white bishop (may work towards white pawn as I get stronger)
Abilities:
We have met at least twice, you may or may not remember me but I am the senshi of static. Aside from my magical abilities I also do a lot of running and training both in and out of powered form. In addition I love puzzles and strategies; coming up with potential uses and combinations for groups combining synergy and compatibility to make a more favorable outcome.
Experience: As it stands I have not been a part of this war for very long I have encountered my fair share of captains (including the two we fought together) a general (I think... his signature was definitely stronger than the others) and plenty of youma.
Reasoning for Desired Roles:
Black Pawn - As it is I'm not physically strong, yes I have my magic but I prefer not to use it unless there is no way out. Half the mystery is if they don't know what I can do.
Black Rook - Earlier I had mentioned that I train both in and out of powered form which is true. While I'm out of powered form I go jogging and sprint training frequently. However while powered I up it to a bit more intense training through the woods. Being able to run at full speed through a dense area full of trees, shrubs, fallen branches, muddy puddles, loose gravel, among other things allows me to work on agility (maintain speed through obstacles), maneuverability (adapting to circumstances), and recovery (if I fall get up and keep going).
White Knight/Bishop - When in a pinch my magic is pure DPS with minor status ailment. It has its uses not only in a short range encounter but also a bit of a long range. If in the right setting and it is some what dark outside, the bright light from my static shock has the ability to momentarily blind a person, but only for a few moments. I'm not sure if you'll find this side effect useful as it is contingent on their eyes being open and looking at me.
