Pumpkin Scissors Plot:
Pumpkin Scissors is set in Europe with technology similar to that of World War I weaponry such as semi-automatic rifles and trains are still prominent but tanks are also developed. A huge war has just ended between the Royal Empire and the Republic of Frost where a ceasefire was agreed on. The Empire’s people are starving and former soldiers have turned to stealing and raiding the people they’re supposed to be protecting and formed gangs. Three years after the agreed ceasefire, a group of people make the Pumpkin Scissors unit to provide war relief.
The name “Pumpkin Scissors” comes from Alice L. Malvin, the unit’s 2nd Lieutenant because she believes that as a war relief unit, they must “face the threat of corrupt people who protect themselves behind lies, power, and money like the rind of a pumpkin", and that they must cut through those layers like a pair of scissors to bring justice. People believe that the Pumpkin Scissors unit is just being used as a propaganda tool as a government and not doing anything useful. A mysterious soldier, Randel Oland, joins Pumpkin Scissors and slowly a conspiracy starts to unfold.

Pumpkin Scissors Characters:
Randel Oland – Oland used to part of the 901st Anti-Tank Troop. These foot soldiers were trained to show no fear when attacking armored tanks with a door knocker (a single shot, anti-tank gun) that has to be fired at pointblank range. Oland carries his platoon’s signature lantern that emits an eerie blue light when opened which turns Oland from a gentle giant into an unstoppable killing machine.
Alice L. Malvin – Alice is a soldier who has no combat experience because she graduated just before the ceasefire was agreed on. She’s the heir of the Malvin Family (a well-respected family) until her brother comes of age. She’s also good friends with Princess Septieme Rodelia and is also engaged to a noble, Lionel Taylor. She was the one who gave her platoon the name “Pumpkin Scissors”.
Captain Hunks – Captain Hunks is the Pumpkin Scissors’ administrator and commanding officer. He usually comes across as calm which balances our Alice’s compulsive personality. Captain Hunks joined Pumpkin Scissors help in war relief to atone for his war crimes.
