"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

Who-knows-how-many-pages-this-is bump: I've started writing a VC fanfic of my own. There may be a few geographic inconsistencies but I think I can make it a good one even if I've never played any of the games. Good thing I've got the wiki to help me! :D

That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.

This thread exists? I'm following it from now!

Rather than smart, I'd prefer to be wise. It would let me be silly more often.

I kind of had a stupid idea.

Baldren Gassenarl, after Gusurg deserts, manages to just barely hold his temper in check, and confronts the Nameless about the lack of tank support. Fun happens when he learns that the Nameless were ordered to fire Nerve Gas. Kurt manages to convince Baldren away from blaming the Nameless by pointing out that they don't legally exist, which means that the person blamed for using Nerve Gas, which is prohibited, would be the commanding officer in charge of the operation.

Also known as Baldren Gassenarl.

Seeing as they helped him, Baldren decides that the Nameless aren't that bad, and forms a somewhat tenuous friendship with Kurt, recognizing his tactical genius and his ability to turn a penal squad into the most deadly meat grinder this side of Squad 7. This radically alters the course of history, since once the Nameless become criminals they actually have people other than Crowe helping them from behind the scenes, and Baldren actually gets a chance to meet with people who can expand his world view and move him away from his racism.

However, a closer relationship with the Nameless means he gets condemned to the Nameless Squad after the entire shebang. Deciding that keeping her brother in a position where he can help her is important, Baldren's sister Audrey takes the fall instead.

Now, all things considered, Baldren has a pretty damn big interest in the Nameless Squad, which leads to him tracking their progress and offering support wherever he can, since he's still not quite off his rocker. Audrey is eventually convinced that her racism isn't that good an idea (and her being a devoted Yggdist helps, since she takes Riela's words as gospel), which helps the Nameless eventually convince Baldren himself to turn away from his former racistic ideals.

Then the end of the plot of VC 3 happens, and the Nameless disband. Audrey quietly returns to live on Castle Gassenarl.

Two years later, Baldren reaches the apex of his disgust with the Gallian leadership. It's got nothing to do with Archduchess Cordelia, who's at best a puppet ruler and at worst a simple figurehead with no real power. No, Baldren hates the majority of Gallia's incompetent or flat out corrupt politicians. He hijacks his father's coup and changes its objective from "Let's Purge the Darcsens!" to "Let's purge the idiots that almost caused us to lose the war!".

The problem is that without the racism angle, Baldren has actually lost quite a few of the fanatics who'd followed his father. He also throws away the Federation's support on the basis that it's really fucking stupid to trust them. It means he starts to lose the civil war. Even with the V2 armored soldiers tearing through the Gallian regular army like a hot knife through butter.

Fortunately for him, though, Audrey reveals that Kurt left all of the Nameless his contact information and in turn asked them to give him a way to contact them. For old times' sake, if nothing else. Which gives Baldren a way to turn the tables. While most of the Nameless refuse to pick up arms again, Baldren manages to convince Kurt.

So, basically, VC 2's plot but Baldren is considerably less of a dick and the main characters from VC 3 are a recurring enemy a thousand times more terrifying than Calamity Raven.

That sounds really, really, good man. I'd read that in a friggin heartbeat.

You gotta start somewhere.

Oh, yeah - I would read that, too. How high are the chances that the Class G would try (and succeed) to talk things out? Would they even cooperate with some of the Nameless? Because it's not technically treason if your goal is not to topple those officially in charge.

I must warn here that I only played VC 2, and not 3.

Rather than smart, I'd prefer to be wise. It would let me be silly more often.

Given that Avan, Cosette, Zeri and Juliana all know Kurt, the leader of the Nameless, personally... I'd say the chances are pretty good that they'd get to talk things out with the Nameless to resolve certain conflicts in the plot peacefully. There's also a chance they might wind up defecting. Baldren's cause is a lot more appealing than Darcsen Genocide now that it's all about removing incompetent and corrupt officials. It helps that Kurt and Gusurg are the reason why Zeri wants to become a Darcsen hero, Avan was told by Leon how badass the Nameless really are, Juliana saw Kurt's prowess first hand (and is probably terrified by the Ceremonial Dagger Kurt carries around, a symbol of him being the top graduate of Lanseal of his generation) and the only reason Cosette and anyone in Yuell lived through the war was because the Nameless were around.

Also, the Nameless are a ridiculously intimidating 'undead' squadron (because they were all declared KIA at the end of VC 3 so they could disappear more effectively) that dresses in all black, customized uniforms. The regular army used to treat them like trash. But it's entirely likely that their effect on the enemy's moral was as great as Calamity Raven's was on Gallian morale.

Don't forget that Leon is technically already aligned with Baldren. That could be easily used to convince Avan to join their cause.

Depends on how much "Leon" was kept. Beyond certain point, it would become an argument against Baldren. I haven't finished the game yet, but I did catch a spoiler, so...

Rather than smart, I'd prefer to be wise. It would let me be silly more often.

Well, it wasn't Baldren who did that to Leon (not sure what you know yet) but the headmaster of Lanseal. If Baldren plays that right he has a new ally right there. And if you have the charismatic leader of class G, you're halfway there in recruiting the whole class.

And in the end becomes Archduke by marrying Cordelia instead of trying to depose her.

The hilarious part is that it could actually happen as a purely political move. It offers Baldren a quick way to have a 'justified' rule in the eyes of the citizenship and it offers Cordelia a quick way to bring stability to Gallia. Given what the Gassenarl family knows about Lanseal's operations, it's very likely Baldren would be able to sway Cordelia's opinion to get her to side with him. All he needs to do is show her Dirk.

Also, Baldren can always claim that the V2-wearing Soldiers are volunteers. That's not actually anywhere near as farfetched as it might sound.

That would be an interesting story to read.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

Do you guys think it's possible that Gallia may have maybe kept a suit of Lanseal-type Artificial Valkyria somewhere, just so that they could study it and maybe start producing it in the future since it was so effective during the Civil War?

If they were a special type of asshole, then yes.

You gotta start somewhere.

I'm pretty sure Forster can make those whenever she wants, so either Gallia starts using what they do have, or they risk whatever country Forster lands in utterly curbstomping them. And making Super Soldiers doesn't really paint Gallia as a Complete Monster of a country, after all, I say it again, people wearing the armor could very well be volunteers.

You know, like one we actually see in canon. Juliana wears it voluntarily, because she wants to protect Gallia. It's also very likely that Leon accepted wearing it voluntarily, as well. And, if the headmaster had approached Avan more carefully, it's likely that Avan might have wound up wearing a set himself, out of his own free will.

I would find it implausible if they didn't keep something around. It'd be like country not keeping records of its own nuclear program.

Hell, they may even be working on making an air force out of the Perkunas's design and anyone that tries to make Europa's first biplane.

What's your story about if I may ask? And what made you decied to write a story about a game you didn't play?

Just the lore and the world and how it interested me.

I also have Valkyria Chronicles on Steam, the only thing keeping me from playing it is the lack of a Windows laptop >_<

The story itself is about a resistance group in a territory occupied by the Empire (conquered a short time before the First Europan War, it's that one country that's on Gallia's northern border) and how they fight to free it. It takes place in 1939 in-universe.

Given that it's two years after the Gallian civil war, involvement from, well, practically anyone who lives south of Ghirlandaio is gonna be minimal at best. Knowing the plot of the games isn't so necessary if you're writing a story starring only OC and in another country entirely.

Hell, even the entire shebang with the Valkyrian armor is unimportant, since it's unlikely for anyone but Gallia to be able to field usable armors even 2 years after their creation. There might be some in the Empire, and wherever Forster winds up, but the only country liable to have a bunch of them is Gallia, and Gallia is not going to step out of their borders and risk the Empire deciding to try their hand at conquering them again. Gallia's manpower has to be very shitty after the Civil War, after all.

Precisely. Eventually they're going to ask Gallia for help and Cordelia's general response is going to be "We just got invaded and had a civil war not five years ago. We can't help you, and I'm not going to get us invaded again if you attract the Empire's attention."

Hell the RLA may even just break into Lanseal and steal the armor. I'm trying to decide which would be better, negotiating it from them (the Empire's not going to get it since it'll be destroyed after a while) or stealing it.

Also I think it's rather plausible for Gallia to maybe have some in the prototype stages. They know that it works, they have the Ragnite and designs to power them efficiently...

I was actually thinking something like that would make a great scenario for a further sequel. So call me interested.

Yay xD

Idk where to post it though. I haven't used my Fanfiction.net account in YEARS XD
