AN:So, a new story popped to mind since I started playing the VC mod for Hearts of Iron(Still in alpha, but awesome eitherway :D)

Enjoy!

The Two Fronts:The Second World War in Gallia

History of the World:

Long ago, within the confines of the European continent, tribes and nations began to ascend out of the dust. Hundreds of small city kingdoms began to arise, joining up later to form alliances, states and, later, countries and Empires. Our story begins, however, much earlier than that. 3000 years ago, within the small confines of a nation that would today come to be known as the Principality of Gallia, the Darcsen, a species of people characterized by their oily, dark-blue hair and eyes, as well as by the pieces of clothing they wear to this day, took over, enslaving the peoples of Northern Europe and taking their food away. Through the cries of starvation, where hundreds died, the Darcsen are said to have ruled over Europe, then Europa, with an Iron Fist...

Alas, things would not last for long, as the Darcsens came to be confronted by beings from farther north than even they thought possible. Beings of immense power, beautiful women clad in a cobalt flame, came to the continent, descending upon it as if they themselves were gods. And, as legend says, 'With spear and shield clad in blue flame, the Valkyria pierced the Darcsens' heart, once more freeing the people of Europa from the hostile grip'. Within these events, the Darcsen unleashed a catastrophe that turned a part of Europe's territory, not much though, into a land of ice and dust. That place came to be known as the Barious Desert, a former great city of the Valkyrur. From then on, the Darcsen came under disgrace wherever in Europe they went... In that age of ancient Empires, when slave labor was a commodity.

Skip ahead a few thousand years, during the end of the medieval times and the start of the Renaissance, when Gunpowder made of Ragnite was first discovered and war took on a terrifying new twist from mere shield and sword, to that of long range engagements. From then on to 200 years forward, during the ages of exploration and bloody wars, the world took a turn. In the year 1765, upon being fed up, for lack of a better term, with the taxes imposed upon them by the British Empire, the people, colonists of a newly-discovered territory in the West now known as the Americas, begin a revolution, which would last for nearly 20 years, a victory for the American people, which, out of their 13 colonies would later form the United States of America.

Within the coming century, with the French Revolution, the defeat of Napoleon's imperialistic dreams and the Industrial Revolution of Ragnite, more wars appeared. The East Autocratic Imperial Alliance, simply known today as the East Empire, was formed from Russia, its Asian allies and a few east-European countries forced into the hell. The Empire fought Turkey for control of a small Kingdom, that of Wallachia, and its surrounding fellow Romanian principalities. In the North, it faced the Imperialistic ambitions of the Swedish Empire, which had under its control, land above the former Polish Commonwealth, also Imperial Territory.

Resistance finally arose after a hundred years of rule, within the nations of Latvia, Estonia and the upper half of former Poland and a new nation proclaimed its freedom. The Principality of Gallia began a war for independence from the Empire, in which the Romanians and Polish soon followed. Warsaw, Bucharest and Randgriz, the three new capitals of the reborn nations, became a beacon of hope and their victory was certain... And thus, a buffer between the Empire and the rest of Europe was created.

Skip to the year 1914. Hostilities erupt after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Serbia by Gavrilo Princip. The three nations that barely formed a hundred years ago yet again see themselves threatened by the Empires... With Romania's hopes of regaining the lost territory of Ardeal and Transylvania, that which was owned by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Romanians join the war, siding with the Entente. The Polish and Gallians followed suite as the Empire in the East moved many troops to their borders. The nations yet again stood to defend themselves... But a pleasant surprise came in the form of the Empress of the time sending her troops to assist the Entente in their struggles against the Ottomans, Kaiser Reich and Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In the year 1918, victory at last... The Great War, the First World War ends with the victory of the Entente over the three Empires, the Treaty of Versailles is signed, new nations like Finland are born and Democracy starts taking its place in Europe. Monarchies like Gallia, Poland and Romania remain safe and the East Empire is unaffected by the changes. Ten years later, the 98th Emperor and Empress are crowned in the East, at Moscow and the world watches as their rearmament gets started, ignoring the threat under their noses. A man has risen to power in Germany, one of great horrors to come... Adolph Hitler becomes chancellor of Germany and proceeds to rearm the nation.

The year is 1935. As the sun rises over the East European Empire, its armies stand at the borders of Gallia and its allies... New members join the alliance between Romania, Gallia and Poland and prepare for war... The Empire formally sends its ultimatum to Gallia and the German Reich prepares its troops in the West, to invade the small nations with the full might of its Axis of Power...

And, yet again, the World stands at the brink of a deadly conflict...

Lore of the World:

Darcsen-A people hated for their mistakes of old and for the so-called Darscen Calamity. They've been stripped of the rights to bear family names and have been forced into labor camps, working as nothing more than Ragnite miners, where many die by the hundreds daily. Their defining qualities are the dark blue hair and eyes, most probably from working with Ragnite, as well as the shoals and different clothing pieces that have their patterns on them.

Ragnite-The most precious mineral in the world. It and oil are sought-after most in this world and Gallia has plenty of both, making it a prime target for enemies wishing to boost their supplies.

Valkyria-Beings of ultimate power. They're the so-called Saviors of Europa and have the second most popular religion in Europe currently. Yggdism. The women are described as clad in blue flame, with crimson red eyes and long, beautiful silver hair.

Faunus-A legendary species, of which very few still live to this day in isolated communities across Europe and, in America, freely. Their population in the entire world adds up to one million and is steadily decreasing. The Faunus are known for their animal traits, including enhanced Night-time vision and animal tails and ears. Most prominent features are:Fox Tails and Ears, Cat Tails and Ears, Wolf Tails and Ears. Hair colors are odd as well, ranging from dark-red to pure white. Eyes can vary from blue to even Yellow and Purple.

The Nations belligerent to the War within Gallia's territory:

The Head Members of the Anti-Imperial Eastern Alliance of Nations(AIEAN):

The Principality of Gallia-The first founding member of the Alliance. Their vast stores of Ragnite and Oil, as well as the processing facilities for said materials make them prime targets for the Imperials and Germans alike. They are a constitutional monarchy which holds bi-yearly elections for their government and Parliament. They are also used to being targeted by major nations and so have a strict policy of training since youth. From first grade onward, the people of the nation are trained in use of all weapons and military vehicles available to the nation, so they can be formed into a Militia regiment immediately after graduation if the nation is under siege.

Currently trying to persuade the Americans to join the battle.

The Axis-Hitler's allies, Japan, Hungary and Italy.

Classes(Based on all classes from all games):

Scouts-The mainstay units of the Military, scouts combine riflemen with fast and agile infantry units designed to scout out enemy positions. Alone, these soldiers are under-armored, but together and in large numbers, they can overtake an enemy position with ease due to their mobility and carry-on weapons. It is the most common class of all, with easy training and normal requirements.

Shock Troopers-Deadly and fast. These soldiers usually come up behind the scouts due to the medium armor sets they wear and the SMGs they carry. They've been adapted to fight from the First World War and have multiple derivative classes stemming from them, requiring people able to carry two grenades and SMGs. They mop up the remaining enemies and destroy the emplacements.

Lancers-The AT units of the world, these soldiers carry lances that fire Anti-Tank shells from close range. They also wear the bulkiest armor sets out of all the classes, able to withstand even mines going off under them. They usually carry heavy AT Lances and can even be converted to mobile Mortar units, to easily clear enemy emplacements. They've seen a spur of development since the First World War and the mechanization of the world's military, with heavy focus on tanks.

Snipers-The Long-range soldiers that specialize in distance take-downs and elimination of enemy High-Value Targets. They are designed to stay behind the front lines, due to them wearing no armor whatsoever. Their High-powered rifles can also be switched out for AT Rifles to eliminate enemy light armored vehicles and IFVs, though against Tanks, not much can be done.

Gunners and Heavy Gunners-Derivative of Shock Troopers. These soldiers carry much heavier armor and Light Machine Guns designed to suppress the enemy and cause major damage to charging infantry lines.

Fencers and Maulers-Melee Combat Classes with incredibly heavy armor, designed to withstand the most punishment that can be sent out, even surviving tank shots at times. The Maulers carry a shield and hammer, while the Fencers carry heavy swords into combat. The Maulers may take out enemy tanks with some upgraded hammers and the Fencers will kill any infantry that gets close to them.

Engineers-Those who deal with the resupply of the Infantry and units, as well as dismantling or building fortifications, placing or disarming mines and the healing of the squad when the Combat Medics are not around. They carry the rifles that Scouts carry, but hey have extra Ragnaid as well as Grenades for the demolition jobs, whilst also carrying a box of tools and one of ammo, rendering them less mobile than the Scouts.

The People of the World(Non-Canon)

Principality of Gallia and the Alliance:

Prince Alexander of Romania-the youngest of the three of King Carol. Currently hidden away in Gallia. Age 17. He fights in the Gallian Volunteer Corps alongside a few other friends of his, but many do not know he's actually the Prince of one of the three nations. The young boy sees himself as nothing more than a threat to his friends at times, due to the secret he's keeping, so he's sometimes very distant.

Shiina Mashiro-Alexander's closest friend since childhood, having met him in Romania at the age of 6, the two wound up writing to each-other every day. She is a girl born in the now-hostile nation of Japan, on the isle of Okinawa, under strict parents and the only one who knows Alexander's true Identity. She attended art classes in England before being sent to Gallia's Randgriz University to study, where she met Alexander again. Age 15. She would stay by Alexander's side throughout a lot of tough situations and the two have come to terms with joining the Gallian Militia early on.

The Sakura-sou Squad-A rugged band of misfits which Alexander and Mashiro lead through combat. Their group is a small one, formed of about 8 people, most of which are from Japan. Alexander has made quite a few friends in the island nation and has seen to keeping them close throughout it. They are with the undercover Prince and Shiina within Fort Amaranthine, awaiting their turn to battle the Imperials.

The Siegfried Royal Family-Those who wish to see Gallia reborn from the ashes and reformed into a grand nation. They are very close friends to the Randgriz family itself and uphold beliefs of equality among the people, Darcsen or not. They fought through to keep the Alliance together since the election of Prime Minister Borg, who wanted Gallia to be Neutral, isolated from the rest of the world. They are the only reason that Gallia remains within the AIEAN. Their son, Matthew Siegfried is currently serving in the Gallian Militia, while their daughter, Kimberly Siegfried, is in Randgriz Castle, a Royal Guard and a close friend of Princess Cordelia. Matt is not without his friends Ragna, Kai, Axel and David, all of them currently waiting assignment to a squad within Amaranthine.

Jacqueline Ross AKA "Jackie"-The youthful American journalist within Gallia, here for the big scoop. She has a friend near by going by the name of Irene Ellet. Age 23

Simo Hayha, "The White Death"-The legendary Finnish Sniper that helped defeat the Imperial invasion of his homeland in early 1934. Has joined the Gallian Army alongside a Volunteer Division formed of Finnish and Swedish troops. Yet to be seen by the people of Gallia in actual combat, the soldier and the Volunteer unit act as ghosts on the Front Lines, disappearing and reappearing as the battles continue. Has achieved a whopping 754 CONFIRMED kills in the Imperial-Finnish war, within 100 days. 500 kills with the sniper, 254 with his trusty Suomi SMG. Age 24.

Kolkka Aatamina Hayha, "The Snow Fairy"-Simo's younger sister and a skilled huntress just like him. Although she has less kills than her brother, she is still considered a solid threat to the Imperial Army and is currently serving in the Militia in a temporary unit. Has befriended Prince Alexander a while ago, as well as Shiina and the rest of the Sakura-sou squad, instantly becoming part of the so called 'Misfit Brigade', with flying colors. Scored 337 kills with her rifle alone. 100 more unconfirmed. Age 20.
