November FFA Day Battle
Conceptualized: 2008
Established: 2010
Location: None, Atlanteans practice at local parks from Miami to Jacksonville, FL; the unit does meet for unit practices, however, they are held at undisclosed locations.
General Information[]
Debut of the Atlantean uniform.
Atlantis was originally Teej's pet project back in Summer 2008. However, upon sharing the idea of militarized unit with a few local (Belegarth) fighters during an attendance slump in Summer 2010, the unit suddenly took a new life. It was founded by a number of veteran foam-fighters and former military personnel, all of which take pride in maintaining activity in foam-combat. Until that summer, Florida had been a mere "expansion state" for larger national Bel/Dag units to recruit from. Atlantis broke this trend and was founded to be Florida's home-grown "super unit." Debuting at the second Oceanside Onslaught.
Satsu & friends vs Atlantis
Teej had previously explored the idea of cross-gaming with WotS in 2007; however, nothing came of the talks with the administration at the time. It was not until To'Gur started practicing with the Northern Vikings that Teej learned of a change of administration and gave cross-gaming with WotS another shot. Atlantis would cross-game with WotS as the first fictional culture and officially debut in the February 2012 campout.
Basic Features[]
- Military Uniformity: Garb, armor, and equipment all have uniform standards; individuality is earned with seniority and experience.
- Military Drill: Atlantis is trained by a former Marine, five Soldiers (former and current), and a Coasty (or Guardian); the drill movements have been simplified to accommodate members with no military background who will have limited training time.
- Military-like Ranking: For fun and establishing seniority, not for servitude.
- Myrmidon: Atlantis' elites, all required to complete a number of national trials against highly experienced fighters.
- Canonized Lore: No lore will be approved without meeting canon standards and canon standards require that lore (with the exception of backstory) closely mirrors true events that have taken place on the field.
