A '''Maze Soldier''' is a member of the '''Maze Personnel''' and of the '''Mazes' military forces''', as well as an iconic, almost ubiquitous inhabitant of [[Mazeworld]]. The tasks of a '''Maze Soldier''' are various, but the general idea is that '''they are the armed forces of''' [[Mazeworld]] (or more specifically, the [[Game Master|Game Masters']]) and are here to defend it from menaces, monsters on the loose, renegades, and particularly, [[Contestant|contestants]].

A '''Maze Soldier''' is a member of the '''Maze Military''' (and by proxy the Maze Personnel), as well as an iconic, ubiquitous inhabitant of [[MazeWorld]]. The unofficial motto of the Maze Military is '''Always Armed''', symbolizing their commitment to combat readiness.
-
Soldiers are known for their violent and authoritarian nature, ruling the Mazes with an iron fist and not afraid to demonstrate their power to other inhabitants. Feared and hated, only fellow Maze Personnel members tolerate their presence, and are sometimes challenged by [[Maze Citizen|Citizens]] which they have no qualms attacking if they deem being a threat.<br />
+
Depending on who one asks in the Mazes, Soldiers are known either for being violent and ruthless pawns of an iron fist ruler, or benevolent and indispensable for the Mazes' safety.  
-
Although such relationships compare not to the [[Human-youkai rivalry|old and violent feud]] they have with '''youkai''', as they are usually the first humans to attack or be attacked by the most active or violent youkai.
+
The hottest point of debate regarding the military is their role in a long-standing history of racial conflict with youkai, which have prompted armed response from the youkai side in the form of [[Youkai activist|armed activism]].
-
The usual tasks of a Soldier include guarding specific rooms, &quot;population control&quot; (killing members of a particular species if their numbers grow too high, as seen in [[Mission 2]]), searching for and hunting down creatures deemed to be a threat to Mazeworld, such as active and/or armed '''youkai''', renegade or dangerous inhabitants, strong creatures causing chaos, and particularly and most importantly, [[Contestant|contestants]]. It must be noted that a Soldier usually knows contestants '''by name''', but not by physical appearance. If a Soldier interrogates the contestant, and the latter reveals his/her real name, a Soldier is supposed not to think any further, and attack immediately.
+
The usual tasks of a Soldier include room guarding and patrolling for general defense purposes, creature population control (colloquially known as "monster culling"), searching for and hunting down creatures deemed to be "a threat to the Mazes", such as renegade or dangerous inhabitants, strong creatures causing chaos, as well as youkai activists, particularly so in recent years.
-
Maze Soldiers are formed and trained in an area revealed in [[Mission A8]], dubbed the '''Main Barracks''', which is essentially a major stronghold composed of select rooms, and guarded by Soldiers of all kinds, all of them carrying personally funded equipment.<br />
+
The Maze Military is composed of 12 companies; 6 Regular Forces companies, 4 Phantom Forces companies, and Colonel Wight's Elite Battalion which is composed of another two PF companies, comprised of the very best elements in the military.
-
Nobody knows, aside from the Game Masters themselves, what is the exact number of Soldiers in service in the Mazes, but a rough estimate mentions that there are somewhere around 3700 soldiers in fourteen Barracks plus the [[Mission A8|Main Barracks]], with the Main Barracks being approximately 4 times larger than a standard one.<br />
+
-
It has been estimated that roughly one third of all Soldiers are Death Faction members.
+
-
Maze Soldiers are declined in several variants and ranks.
+
Each Company is headquartered in Barracks, and each Barracks is located in a relevant [[Towns|town]] controlled by the Military. Each Company is led by a Maze Captain, except the Elite Battalion, which all reside in the so-called Main Barracks, much larger than a normal Barracks and instead directly receives orders from the military's leader, Colonel [[Thomas Wight]]. The Main Barracks is located in [[Towns|Fort Wight]] and is the headquarters of the entire Maze Military.
 +
 
 +
Every Captain commands over four Platoons. Each of these Platoons are led by a Lieutenant who commands over five Squads, and each Squad is composed of a Sergeant who leads and orders ten Privates.
 +
 
 +
As such, the Maze Military's maximum size is about ~2700 people.

==== Death Faction ====
+
==== Phantom Forces ====
-
The Death Faction is considered the elite of the Maze Soldiers. Considered a separate branch despite doing essentially the same job, they wear different clothing and armor, and are typically sent in more dangerous situations, or in cases needing faster and higher firepower. Death Faction soldiers are typically composed of the best recruits after training, who are recommended to join the DF rather than the regular forces.
+
Established by Colonel Wight, the Phantom Forces are a special branch of the military and the Mazes' closest equivalent to a special operations unit. They wear a differently-colored uniform, better armor, and are typically sent in more dangerous situations, or in cases needing faster and higher firepower. Phantom Forces soldiers are typically composed of the best recruits after training, who are recommended to become Phantoms rather than be part of the Regular Forces.

 +
==== Roles and kits ====
 +
The '''role''' of a Maze Soldier is determined by their primary weapon, indicates what weapon type they are most proficient with, and is more or less an indication of what type of combat tactics they will employ in combat. A shotgun user does not have the same tactics or ammunition supplies as an assault rifle user. In addition, the role also determines which weapon skills they receive.
 +
 
 +
In addition, when Soldiers progress in their career and obtain the right to purchase better gear, the Role restricts what type of weapon they can obtain. A shotgunner can only purchase shotguns, not assault rifles or sniper rifles, for example.
 +
 
 +
* Combat rifle - '''Rifleman'''
 +
* Conventional rifle - '''Huntsman'''
 +
* Grenade launcher - '''Grenadier'''
 +
* Machine gun - '''Machinegunner'''
 +
* Precision rifle - '''Sniper'''
 +
* Rocket launcher - '''Assaultman'''
 +
* Shotgun - '''Shotgunner'''
 +
* Submachine gun - '''Subgunner'''
-
==== Maze Snipers ====
+
In addition, Soldiers may also obtain '''Kits''', which provide additional equipment to aid them in their current mission or assignment.
-
*The '''Maze Sniper''' is another Soldier variant. They enjoy a special status as they are specialized (as the name implies) in the use of sniper rifles and designated marksman rifles. Despite wearing the uniform of regular Maze Soldiers, they serve in both the regular and Death Faction branches. They are, hierarchy wise, considered to be Privates, but are paid a fixed salary of '''300 P$/day''' in exchange. It is possible for Maze Snipers to rank up and become Sergeants and so on, though doing so means integrating either faction officially, and giving up their special Sniper gear for that of higher rank officers. Despite the officially low rank, Snipers are feared and respected figures in the Mazes.
+
While most Soldiers are issued the Basic kit by default, there is usually at least one or two members in a squad carrying a different kit.
-
*[[Twaron Helmet]]
+
* ''No kit - No extra equipment''
-
*[[Military T-shirt (urban camo)]]
+
* '''Basic kit''' - 1x Individual Bandage
-
*[[Military pants (urban camo)]]
+
* Patrol kit - 2x Military Ration - Regular + 2x different [[food]] items
-
*[[Military boots]]
+
* Medic kit - 1x Gauze roll + 2x Morphine + 2x First Aid Kit
-
*Formally, body armor is optional, but the standard issue for Snipers is the [[Twaron vest]].
+
** Soldiers with Medic kits also get Healing Lv2 (Basic).
-
*Snipers are issued an appropriate '''sniper rifle''' or '''anti-matériel rifle'''.
+
* Support kit - 3x extra full mags (or equivalent) for all service weapons and 2x extra retail boxes of ammunition, with matching caliber and ammunition type
-
*A [[Backpack|RM22SF LBE]]
+
* Sapper kit - 3x different [[List of Class 4 Weapons|Class 4]] weapons (+ detonator, if needed)
-
*A [[Valuable|big purse]] with pocket money to spend as they please.
+
** Soldiers with Sapper kits also get weapon skills for the weapons they receive that way.
==== Pay grades ====
==== Pay grades ====
-
* The base pay (perceived by Privates) is '''150 P$/day'''.

* The base pay (perceived by Regular Forces Privates) is '''150 P$/day'''.

-
=== Famous Maze Soldiers ===
+
=== Backup calls ===
-
*Colonel [[Thomas Wight]]
+
If backup is needed, this is when their issued mobile phones come into play. The type, amount, ETA and cooldown periods of backup all depend on the rank of the caller. The minimum rank is Sergeant for low alert calls, and Lieutenant for high alert calls. If lower ranks wish to obtain backup, they must obtain the express approval of someone of that rank or higher.
-
*Pvt. [[Rick Marston]] (Regular forces)
+
Notes: The backup Soldiers will be of the same type (RF or PF) as the caller's. Cooldown period is initiated after the backup has arrived only.
-
*Pvt. [[Lance Wheeler]] (Regular forces)
+
-
*Pvt. [[Gary Slentman]] (Regular forces)
+
-
*Sgt. [[Mark Miller]] (Regular forces)
+
-
*Sgt. [[daron bryant|Daron "DF Chef" Bryant]] (Death Faction)
+
-
*Pvt. [[Jarvis Spades]] (Regular forces, renegade)
+
-
*Cpt. [[Ruben Reyes]] (Regular forces)
+
-
*Pvt. [[Warren Stark]] (Regular forces, renegade)
+
-
*Cpt. [[Irvin Dunbar]] (Regular forces)
+
-
*Pvt. Ross Ayers, ally of contestant [[Matthew Kethys]] (Death Faction)
+
==== Low alert call ====
-
*Pvt. Jeff Malone, ally of contestant [[Lucca Serehnal]] (Regular forces)
+
-
*Pvt. Gina Cross, ally of contestant [[Snow Winters]] (Sniper)
+
-
=== Disguise ===
+
Low alert calls are for situations where there is a possible threat, or when more firepower may be required, but the danger is not imminent. As such, the backup takes time to show up, and it does take a while for backup to be available again. Of course, as the rank of the caller increases, the ETA and cooldown also decrease.
-
A [[Contestant|contestant]] can disguise as a Maze Soldier or a DF Soldier if the following conditions are met:
+
-
*Wearing only the clothes of a Maze Soldier or a DF Soldier (any body armor is tolerated, at the exception of the [[HEV Suit]] which hides the clothes)
+
* Sergeants: Sends 1d2 Soldiers with default equipment and random weapons.
-
*Carrying a '''firearm''' of some kind is mandatory - an unarmed Maze Soldier is suspicious, and are not issued melee weapons (other than the Captains' KA-BAR)
+
** ETA: 2d3+1d2 turns.
 +
** Cooldown: 12 turns.
 +
* Lieutenants: Sends 1d3 Soldiers with default equipment and random weapons.
 +
** ETA: 1d3+2 turns.
 +
** Cooldown: 10 turns.
 +
* Captains, Colonel: Sends 1d2+1 Soldiers with default equipment and random weapons.
 +
** ETA: 1d3+1 turns.
 +
** Cooldown: 8 turns.
-
'''Effects of the disguise:'''
+
==== High alert call ====
 +
 
 +
High alert calls are for emergency situations where the threat is imminent and/or powerful, and where the caller is at significant risk. Backup is bigger, better organized, shows up faster, but the cooldown period is even longer ; as more resources are mobilized, it takes even more time to bring more later down the line. As before, higher caller rank means shorter ETA and cooldown.
 +
 
 +
* Lieutenants: Sends 1 Sergeant + 1d3 Soldiers with default equipment and random weapons.
 +
** ETA: 2d3 turns.
 +
** Cooldown: 24 turns.
 +
* Captains, Colonel: Sends 1 Lieutenant + 1 Sergeant + 1d4 Soldiers with default equipment and random weapons.
 +
** ETA: 1d3+2 turns.
 +
** Cooldown: 20 turns.
 +
 
 +
=== Disguise ===
 +
This lists only the required clothing the [[contestant]] needs for the disguise to be successful. Note that wearing a Power Armor Suit or an EOD Suit cancels immediately the disguise as these suits cover the entirety of the wearer's clothes and are, as such, unsuitable for disguising.

A Maze Soldier is a member of the Maze Military (and by proxy the Maze Personnel), as well as an iconic, ubiquitous inhabitant of MazeWorld. The unofficial motto of the Maze Military is Always Armed, symbolizing their commitment to combat readiness.

Depending on who one asks in the Mazes, Soldiers are known either for being violent and ruthless pawns of an iron fist ruler, or benevolent and indispensable for the Mazes' safety. The hottest point of debate regarding the military is their role in a long-standing history of racial conflict with youkai, which have prompted armed response from the youkai side in the form of armed activism.

The usual tasks of a Soldier include room guarding and patrolling for general defense purposes, creature population control (colloquially known as "monster culling"), searching for and hunting down creatures deemed to be "a threat to the Mazes", such as renegade or dangerous inhabitants, strong creatures causing chaos, as well as youkai activists, particularly so in recent years.

The Maze Military is composed of 12 companies; 6 Regular Forces companies, 4 Phantom Forces companies, and Colonel Wight's Elite Battalion which is composed of another two PF companies, comprised of the very best elements in the military.

Each Company is headquartered in Barracks, and each Barracks is located in a relevant town controlled by the Military. Each Company is led by a Maze Captain, except the Elite Battalion, which all reside in the so-called Main Barracks, much larger than a normal Barracks and instead directly receives orders from the military's leader, Colonel Thomas Wight. The Main Barracks is located in Fort Wight and is the headquarters of the entire Maze Military.

Every Captain commands over four Platoons. Each of these Platoons are led by a Lieutenant who commands over five Squads, and each Squad is composed of a Sergeant who leads and orders ten Privates.

As such, the Maze Military's maximum size is about ~2700 people.

  • There are five ranks. In order from lowest to highest: Private, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Colonel. The rank of Colonel represents the rank of leader of the military; there can only be one Colonel.

Equipment

The equipment of a Soldier varies greatly; branch, rank, and role can all affect the gear a Soldier carries.

Phantom Forces

Established by Colonel Wight, the Phantom Forces are a special branch of the military and the Mazes' closest equivalent to a special operations unit. They wear a differently-colored uniform, better armor, and are typically sent in more dangerous situations, or in cases needing faster and higher firepower. Phantom Forces soldiers are typically composed of the best recruits after training, who are recommended to become Phantoms rather than be part of the Regular Forces.

While Phantom Forces companies typically fulfill the same jobs and duties as Regular Forces, they are usually called upon for threats requiring more firepower or a more immediate response.

  • Weapons:
    • A random Class 1 or Class 2 weapon as their standard issue main weapon
    • The generated weapon also generates that soldier's Role.
  • Clothing and armor:
    • Headgear: Cerashield helmet
    • Top: Military T-shirt (desert camo)
    • Body armor: Heavy D armor vest + Light Steel trauma plate

    • Bottom: Military pants (desert camo)
    • Legs addon: None
    • Footwear: Military boots
  • Formally, body armor is optional, but the standard issue is the Heavy D armor vest with Light Steel trauma plate.
  • Load-bearing equipment according to their rank, with 2 extra magazines (or equivalent) and 1 retail box of ammunition (with matching caliber and ammo type) for each of their weapons
  • A Kit (@soldierkit) which has a chance of granting extra equipment.
  • Expert-level weapon skills with all of the weapons they are equipped with.

Roles and kits

The role of a Maze Soldier is determined by their primary weapon, indicates what weapon type they are most proficient with, and is more or less an indication of what type of combat tactics they will employ in combat. A shotgun user does not have the same tactics or ammunition supplies as an assault rifle user. In addition, the role also determines which weapon skills they receive.

In addition, when Soldiers progress in their career and obtain the right to purchase better gear, the Role restricts what type of weapon they can obtain. A shotgunner can only purchase shotguns, not assault rifles or sniper rifles, for example.

  • Combat rifle - Rifleman
  • Conventional rifle - Huntsman
  • Grenade launcher - Grenadier
  • Machine gun - Machinegunner

  • Basic kit - 1x Individual Bandage
  • Patrol kit - 2x Military Ration - Regular + 2x different food items
  • Medic kit - 1x Gauze roll + 2x Morphine + 2x First Aid Kit

  • Sapper kit - 3x different Class 4 weapons (+ detonator, if needed)
    • Soldiers with Sapper kits also get weapon skills for the weapons they receive that way.

Backup calls

If backup is needed, this is when their issued mobile phones come into play. The type, amount, ETA and cooldown periods of backup all depend on the rank of the caller. The minimum rank is Sergeant for low alert calls, and Lieutenant for high alert calls. If lower ranks wish to obtain backup, they must obtain the express approval of someone of that rank or higher.

Notes: The backup Soldiers will be of the same type (RF or PF) as the caller's. Cooldown period is initiated after the backup has arrived only.

Low alert call

Low alert calls are for situations where there is a possible threat, or when more firepower may be required, but the danger is not imminent. As such, the backup takes time to show up, and it does take a while for backup to be available again. Of course, as the rank of the caller increases, the ETA and cooldown also decrease.

  • Sergeants: Sends 1d2 Soldiers with default equipment and random weapons.
    • ETA: 2d3+1d2 turns.
    • Cooldown: 12 turns.
  • Lieutenants: Sends 1d3 Soldiers with default equipment and random weapons.
    • ETA: 1d3+2 turns.
    • Cooldown: 10 turns.
  • Captains, Colonel: Sends 1d2+1 Soldiers with default equipment and random weapons.
    • ETA: 1d3+1 turns.
    • Cooldown: 8 turns.

High alert call

High alert calls are for emergency situations where the threat is imminent and/or powerful, and where the caller is at significant risk. Backup is bigger, better organized, shows up faster, but the cooldown period is even longer ; as more resources are mobilized, it takes even more time to bring more later down the line. As before, higher caller rank means shorter ETA and cooldown.

  • Lieutenants: Sends 1 Sergeant + 1d3 Soldiers with default equipment and random weapons.
    • ETA: 2d3 turns.
    • Cooldown: 24 turns.
  • Captains, Colonel: Sends 1 Lieutenant + 1 Sergeant + 1d4 Soldiers with default equipment and random weapons.
    • ETA: 1d3+2 turns.
    • Cooldown: 20 turns.

Disguise

This lists only the required clothing the contestant needs for the disguise to be successful. Note that wearing a Power Armor Suit or an EOD Suit cancels immediately the disguise as these suits cover the entirety of the wearer's clothes and are, as such, unsuitable for disguising.

  • (Regular Forces) Maze Soldier: K armor helmet, Military t-shirt (urban camo), Military pants (urban camo), Military boots
  • Phantom Forces Soldier: Cerashield helmet, Military t-shirt (desert camo), Military pants (desert camo), Military boots
