The Musketeers

The **Musketeers** are a friendly Nemesis group that appeared after the siege of Hiroshima by Hashinko. They are a fusion of two splinter groups from the Brotherhood of Iron and the Harbingers who refused to participate in their former factions' conflicts for senseless to no reason.

They are led by D'Artagnan and the other 3 Major Musketeers, and became a military for the Sakura Sisters as Ryōki's personal guard.

## Description

The Musketeers are a faction themed about Early Modern French Musketeers of the Guard, the elite soldiers of the country of their time. Their leaders are even named after Alexandre Dumas's *The Four Musketeers* book, and their clothing and weapons keep an antique style referring to them, even as Sakura Sis which had them wear skimpier clothing. Specialized in BLACK and PALE damages, they have a culture of accurate light infantry mixed with strong liners as well as skillful fencers, and are formed of strong women. Unlike the factions they splintered from, they honor niceness and appeasement.

### Background

They were formed from two splinter groups of the Harbingers and Brotherhood of Iron fusing together, and inherit their characteristics. They thus have the Harbingers' mastery in precision gun wielding, sniping as well as skirmishing; while they have the BOS's mastery in automatic gun and explosive wielding, mass fires as well as melee; and they inherit both factions' PALE and BLACK damages usage. They have, compared to the two factions, small numbers and, prior to arriving at Chisanakawa and becoming a part of the Sakura Sisters, had limited armory, weaponry, artillery and supply available for all the members. Their status of enemy for all 4 enemy nemesis factions also rendered forced them to nomadism.

It's only upon arriving at Chisanakawa and having a deal with Ryōki to join the Sakura Sisters in exchange of supply and equipment that they could reach the peak of their potential.

### Equipment

#### Clothing

The Musketeers, prior to their affiliation to the Sakura Sisters, wore simple concealing but fancy uniforms. It consisted of white breeches with knee-high black boots; a white blouse with ruffled collar and cuffs; a black coat and a ruffled jabot as well as white belts across the hips and torso, a long blue cloak with their emblem and a cavalier hat with a folded side and a steel button.

As Sakura Sis, their uniforms evolved to be more revealing, fancier and more sophisticated. Their uniform now consists of knee-high black boots; transparent white thigh-high stockings with lace trims, garters and a garter belt; a black coat with golden trims and a split skirt having folded plates on the front, as well as sleeves above white ones with ruffled cuffs; a white belt across the hip and a blue one with golden lace trims across the torso; lace frilled collar and jabot wrapped around the neck as well as a long blue cloak, and finally a cavalier hat with a folded side and a golden button. This dress exposes the wearer's bust, belly, back, crotch and shoulders not counting the cloak, furthermore it is worn without underwear in accordance to the Sakura Sisters.

The uniform are not identical to all members though, some such as the Four Major Musketeers have their own twists to it, while the common musketeer might have some slight variations. Their uniforms, even if revealing, constitute good E.G.O defenses.

### Weapons

The Musketeers man mostly single-shot rifles which vary between a long rifle and a wall gun passing by a precision rifle, all depending on purpose, but can also include certain automatic weapons and even volley weapons. Strong, their weapons use high calibers for additional firepower and armor piercing while they can wield them like average weapons. They also have artillery and explosives as well as bayonets and rapiers, and they thus add to ballistic power their explosive and melee powers.

Their notable weapons are the three-barreled volley wall gun, the 6-barreled "Shower" blunderbus, the 2m long precision long rifle as well as the 2-barreled revolver.
