Hearts in Heavy Armor (Mecha RP)

[Foster]

*slaps Jonny*

No teamkilling Christina!

Enemy mechs

Age: 25 | Gender: Male | Appearance

Personality: Highly impersonal, seeming emotionally-distant in almost any situation. He often matches this personality by physically distancing himself from the group to provide support from afar.

Bio: Felix probably has the advantage of being less... effeminate than Mr Varitan, but although his record is just as less outstanding than the eccentric child-prodigy; his aim, versatility, and loyalty are nevertheless his most highly valued traits by the Federation.

Name: Sarah McCain | Age: 19 | Gender: Female
Personality: Often more worried about the equipment than the pilot or mission, not a very 'people person'. She barely tolerates the abuse the current pilot puts the mech through.

AMA Inc. 'Zone-defender'
Weapons:
Scoped Battle-rifle, semi-automatic with bayonet-lug
Assorted Rifle-Grenades (can be hand-thrown)
Bayonet

Equipment:
Overpressure NBC-scrubber with 15-minute resserve oxygen-supply (@ 1 atmo)
Advanced comms/sensors (/w HUD interface)
Smoke-generator

Age: 18 | Gender: Male | Appearance

Personality: Much like his "Gundam" self in that universe, Heero comes off as a cold, emotionless and even reckless at times. He even talks in a monotone voice but sometimes, he's seen to have a lighter side to his personality. Though he rarely, if ever, shows it.

Bio: Not much is known about this soldier so to speak. It's rumored that he was raised to be both a foot soldier and mech pilot and was never shown anything else. Trained to be the academies ultimate soldier as a last resort should all else fail. Although yet to be proven, Heero has been rumored to handle stealth or even "black ops" missions involving either assassinations or protecting high value targets from behind the scenes. It isn't a secret but Heero is also a mech tester. He's usually assigned mech's to test and help fine tune with his skills as a pilot.

There's even another rumor, a rather dark one too, that Heero himself had watched his parents die by his hands during that demonished town that the FAP was involved with but that they were so badly injured and suffering that he shot them both himself...

Name: Doctor J (Real name "Jay Null")
Age: Unknown (Is rumored to be 60)
Personality: Quirky and weird at times but is also shown to have a lighter side when either protocol or the situation calls for it.

Weapons: Two beam sabers. Fully deployable armoured wings that can act as shield covering. Twin Buster Rifle that can be separated into two separate single-barrel buster rifles.
Equipment: Atmospheric descent capability. Radar Jammer: can avoid mecha sensors to avoid detection and "lock-on" weapons. "Zero System" combat computer.
Appearance:

Age: 23 | Gender: Male | Appearance

Personality: Although he comes off as serious, he's a kind and understanding person. Because of his seriousness though, he tends to rush into situations before thinking them through. He's also outspoken since he tends to say things that others would see as rude.

Bio: Much like the Starlight-Crest family, the Twilights were also a family of politicians and even some were "pacifist" family members. But they were also overprotective of their family members well-being after the upcoming threats that had arisen over the years. Because of this, Marius was sheltered alot and not allowed to do much of anything other than what he was told and taught growing up.

Being cooped up, so to speak, didn't do much for his personality since he quickly grew bored and even felt that his family had no right to tell him how to lead his life. This is where his "outspoken" part of his persona would develop as he often spoke out even against his own parents. He even trained himself and exercised whenever he found the free time just to spite his parents. It was because of these actions that members of his own family began to doubt him since he'd wouldn't make the ideal political leader for the federation.

Then the day came when Victoria's father, Ambassador to the Federation, was assassinated.

That's when Marius started making requests to join the military since he felt that "talking" doesn't always work. Despite protests from members of his family, Marius enlisted as a foot soldier and mecha tester. It was because of this that he had a falling out with the family since the military life stood against everything the Twilights stood for. Despite this, he felt that he had done the right thing.

To look foward, never look back...

Mecha: Model Number PTX-007-02

Spoiler

Weapons: Beam Saber. Machine Gun Rifle. "Jet Magnum": Three plasma stakes on the left hand wrist for a devastating melee attack punch.

Equipment:
Radar Jammer - Can avoid enemy radar detection and weapons requiring a "lock-on".

"Recon" Combat Computer - A system that records combat data from both the pilot and enemy mecha's to I.D. enemy mecha's as well as their performances, weapons, equipment, etc to allow either the pilot or engineers to review.

Appearance:

Age: 20 |Gender: male | Appearance

Personality: Cocky, Positive, Outgoing, Playful. He is always looking for a fight, but not out of anger or spit but to size someone up. Believes a person can be judged on how they fight, if they are a coward, if they are funny, if they wipe after toilet.
Bio: John was raised by a family of professional boxers that hold legacy on Earth Prime's, Las Vegas Dos. The youngest of 4 brothers, he was the one that almost always the training partner, and never the title match fighter. A few years of his 3 brothers rising to the top made him realize that in this life he wasn't going to succeed, and needed to be a fighter elsewhere.

John enlisted in the Federation and months later was noted in boot camp as the champ in any brawl. Known for disfiguring the faces of those that went toe to toe with him he was nicknamed "Face Buster" but the name was shortened to "Buster" after he broke a mans collar bone on the fist blow.

News of his hand-to-hand made its way up to the Federation brass, and they wanted a Mecha like this fighter and who would be the best pilot but the fighter himself! With his rise to a new station he was allowed an engineer to join him of his pick and he choose a childhood friend who needed help and was more than capable for the job.

Bio: Charles was a lower middle class member of society, he was never truly important. In his being, he felt that he had a better reason to be on this world rather than the fact of him just being. He figured that society would remember a man in uniform, but he had that uniform and saw thousands like it, so he aimed to have a shinier one, a better rank. He saw a general and him shiny uniform, he wanted it.... so he clawed in for the long haul. Around that time, he was pulled into the Mecha Program as the Squad Commander... he liked this uniform almost as much as the general's.

Name: Dorothy Katalonia

Age: 26
Personality: Cold hearted and silver tongued, this engineer is ruthless and loves to experiment with innovative new mechs. She finds it a thrilling challenge to build the perfect weapon that doesn’t need to destroy everything in sight to get the job done.

Weapons: Twin beam sabers that join into one long beam lance. Fully deployable armoured wings that can act as shield covering. Beamed tail spike from the rear.
Equipment: Atmospheric descent capability. I-ribbons - shield generators (anti-beam). SEED Mode tactical system.
Appearance: (my own design)

Age: 23 | Gender: Male | Appearance

He stands about 6'3" tall. with longer silver hair than the picture, his body seeming terribly slim, but sometimes sickening flexible. When not wearing that special armor that he and his engineer worked together on creating, he often wears some form fitting flexible clothing, whatever it happens to be. When prepared for a fight he has that cybernetic armor on, as well as a pair of electrical short swords crossed on the back of his waist.

That picture is an experiment, it's explained in bio =3

Personality: Variable and Inventive, He's often deep into the designs of his own mech(s) trying to improve it. Otherwise he tends to enjoy his free time using various entertainment, whether it's a game he's been keeping secret or experimenting in his imagination with tactical options and new ideas. In combat he's demonstrated that he 'can' follow orders, but will often do so in non direct fashions, generally favoring his own tactics unless directly ordered to use something else.

Bio: He was somewhat of rich prodigy child, always fascinated to a disturbing degree with mechanical objects, taking things apart and learning how they work, coming up with strange ways to put em back together while still functioning. As soon as he was old enough he 'threw' himself out of his parents house, with enough money to keep himself set for a good long time, and into a military engineering career. No matter much they wanted it or how hard they tried to make him behave like a uniform engineer, He was always inventing some strange little thing out of scrap, occasionally from useful objects, much to the disdain of his superiors, and never let them stifle his creativity and desire to improve the machines around him.

Before he was even 20 he was assigned into the mecha program, endless pestering of his former CO for something more important than repair duty, and countless doodles and helpful data found created in his personal time [though they tried not to let him know any of it was close to real] eventually broke their hard headed paranoia and allowed him a 'chance' to improve the mech program, which he wasted no time in doing just that. He was constantly pointing out present issues, whether they were small things that could improve performance but weren't too important, or dangerous design flaws that lead to things like a mech's leg breaking off or the power system shorting out occasionally. Of course he also wouldn't let them confine him solely to the inventive engineer station and was constantly borrowing mechs to test them out and learn the finesse of operation, which eventually earned him a personal mechanic to help keep an eye on him and make sure he didn't blow himself up someday.

He of course made wild use of this assistance, and shortly before he turned 23 completed a couple of co-opted projects to create an experimental new type of mecha, and a special suit to assist sciency pilots in their duties, as well as fighting since they weren't often physically 'soldier' like. the culmination of this process was 2 things, his personal mech, described below, and his personal cyber armor, worn as often as he's not ordered to remove, it improves his natural physical capabilities greatly, can interface with computers directly using various connection cables hidden in the arms and 'tail', and has natural resistances to electro interfere, as well as that flexible sleek design and plenty of sharp pointy things to slash ans stab people with. It also holds a database of all the information he's downloaded from things, responds to voice commands and holographic display interaction [if possible].

Spoiler

Name: Akmian Damiat
Age: 21
Personality: Inventive, Dedicated, and borderline obssessed with mechanical creations, and the art of improving them, or inventing new ones. Has some strategic experience to mix up with Emil's.

Weapons: (3 weapons)
Sniper Cannon: A long range Armor piercing Sniper cannon, bordering on lesser artillery level firepower. The range depends on various environmental conditions, the skill and state of mind of the pilots, and condition of the mech.

Back Cluster Mine Launcher: A launcher connected to a salvo of Cluster mines, able to be latched onto a surface at close range, or 'deployed' in mid air to launch a few much smaller explosive devices to latch onto surfaces, the same happens when an enemy comes in range of an un-deployed mine. They are of course programmed to detect non friendly targets in the vicinity, and will explode in mid air as well if the enemy is close enough.

Shoulder Shock Burst Cutter: It's a shoulder attached blade weapon with an energy system built in, It can be detached to be used as a melee weapon as well. It tends to just act as a sword, or an electric one, but it can be charged and release the energy in a short directional burst, either to stun someone in very short range, or to 'attempt' to counter an explosion's force. The chance of getting the timing right to do more than lessen the impact is inhumanly small.


Equipment: (3 tools)

Anti Lock-on device: Built into the head, when a lockon signature is detected, or a homing device is detected in the case the lockon is 'silent', it discharged a weak EM field that disrupts it's own signature to make it harder to target, also disrupts it's image in other tactical sights.

Tactical Aim Assist: Attached to the left shoulder, retractable to protect it when needed, Connects to the main sensors, and the Weapon's system to improve aiming efficiency at any viable range.

Advanced Movement System: High speed treads implanted in the legs that allow it to 'dash' at great speeds in one direction, can turn 'slightly' but sharper turns require reduced speed. It also comes with boosters to assist acceleration, braking, and other maneuverability options.


Appearance:

Age: 21 | Gender: Female | Appearance

Personality: Melissa is rather tame in how she handles things, she doesn't seem to have a care in the world either due to a seemingly always content smile on her face. There are moments when her expression will change, but usually only if something major happens that would affect her and her allies. On the subject of allies, she will usually be the last one out of a fight to ensure her allies get out fine.
Bio: Melissa had an average life with an average family and everything was just fine and dandy, but eventually that averageness had to run out, and when it did she enlisted with FAP to try and help the fight against the enemies of the Federation.

During her time as a soldier for FAP, Melissa displayed a particular desire to put the safety of others before her own, so she was known for her stalwart defence of her allies when her allies were forced to flee in training simulations or other situations.

She was hauled in to take part in the Mecha Program due to this attitude of hers towards her allies.

I agree with Foster.

[Jonny saint]

Who said Christina?! I was thinking of someone more stubborn.

[Foster]

There is no such creature.

Aside from Sarah, maybe...

[Jonny saint]

Alright, looks like we have to Cut Ed. I will make his end reasonable and leave his Mecha to be taken up by a new pilot.

Foster, you seem to have a knack for filling for people, don't you?

[Foster]

I have this thing, it's called a contacts and friends-list.

I use it to keep tabs on people that RP with me on a regular basis.
-When I see an opening, I check to see which ones might be feeling a little down and could use something to write about.

Only a few people found it creepy so far.

Also, RPing another black guy with a gun and giving shooting-lessons to the young available woman of the RP, big surprise, no?

...

I still have to perform chin-ups on Glitchybugger's tusks...
*Notices Glitchy's mech in the corner*

[Glitchybugger]

No, you aren't performing chin-ups on my tusks, she's not in this RP >_>

I'll post at some time, don't worry guys.

[Jonny saint]

I think he think I don't use my contacts, I have actually used it to recruit glitchy a couple of times.

[DarkStar]

Oh yay. I cannot post a decent length at the moment as I am restricted to a mobile. If Foster bitches enough I will post though.

[Jonny saint]

If you can post something, it would make me happy.
