I'm still kind of stuck on what to do for my character. ^^;

And her mecha for that matter. Hmm.

If it helps, every citizen (more or less) went through a mandatory cog-scan, then all cogs and potential pilot profiles were assessed. Then a handful were contacted on their willingness to participate. If they answered yes, then the cog was manufactured. Now that the cog has been built, you have to participate.

@VitaVitaAR If you want to make a reluctant character (for teh DRAMA), I can make an exception. Maybe your character's cog design was something the military had to have and chose to bypass consent in order to acquire it. Also, your cog doesn't have to be humanoid, though this might mean that your character feels disconnected or uncomfortable with their own body. If you're familiar with mobile armors, they're usually monstrously large and monstrously powerful.

example mobile armors:

Well, at the moment I'm just kind of thinking I want a whole lot of explosive firepower and that's what I have so far. ^^;

Ok, since Rin is making a 'beam spam' cog, that would indicate that it fires a lot of low to medium power beams rapidly, meant to overwhelm large groups of small enemies (strike craft). You could go for a more 'artillery' based cog, firing either massive shells, charged beam cannons, or missile warheads to take out large, single enemies, like battleships.

so for the sake of diversity, we've got the beamspam cog and the close quarters assassin cog? just wanna be clear so I can wrap up my CS soon.

And maybe an artillery cog, depending on if Vita takes my suggestion or comes up with something else.

hmm. I think I'm gonna go for a support cog, in that case.

Some overlap is allowed if you'd prefer not to go support. But if you do want to go support, more power to you

no worries! I'm completely happy with how it's working out so far, actually. with how I've already written my character, having a support cog fits right in line with her.

Ok, cool. I'm curious what your support method will be

you'll find out soon hopefully! I'm a terribly slow writer and hopefully I'll be done soon.

so I'm not smart and accidentally posted my CS straight to the character page. sorry!

EDIT: I can move that or repost it here if you want I am so sorry!

You BREACH PROTOCOL?!



JK, no worries. I looked it over, character is accepted, though I may offer suggestions or minor edits if I think of any later.

I HAVE FAILED YOU, MASTER, I APOLOGIZE.

Any suggestions would be welcome! I couldn't come up with any ideas for future upgrades, so I'd love input!

Have you considered.....(sales pitch incoming)



Want to protect your allies, but can't get to them fast enough? Then Shield Funnels are for YOU! This remote controlled defensive option may also be outfitted with WEAPONS! so you can not only bring the help to your allies, but you can also bring the PAIN! to your enemies!

... It is bad that I want to join this just because I think Gundam-style mecha look really cool and thse picture is n example of what I like about them, isn't it? ^^;

... Still kind of stuck on my actual character is the issue, though. Hmm.

I'm... I... I'LL TAKE TWENTY.

I like Gundam designs a lot too, otherwise I probably wouldn't have made this RP, so I don't think it's bad.

As for your character, is there a basic personality type that you RP often? Or maybe a personality type that you don't RP often, or have never RP'd before but would like to try? If you have even a vague idea, feel free to discuss it and maybe say what details are particularly difficult to come up with, I'll be happy to give suggestions. If you want choices outside of just "Wildtype, Ascended, and Quantum," genetically modified 'designer babies' and robotic implants/prostheses do exist for Wildtype and Ascendeds.

Also, and this is directed to everyone, if you have ideas for personal story arcs, shoot them at me, and I'll see about incorporating them.

An additional note about your cogs, if you want a cog that can transform, that is totally something that you can have at the beginning if you'd like. Something that might feature in later is combining cogs, so if you want, you can discuss with your fellow RPers if they'd be willing to have their cog combine with yours down the line.

Hmmm... for some reason when it comes to mecha I tend towards rather surly and sarcastic characters?

I'm not sure why, for a lighter mecha RP I've tried a few times(though still real robot) I played a surly, sarcastic, taciturn loli. Obviously that won't work here given these are actual military operations, but hmmm.

I would say that my character idea basically acts like Beet J. Stag, but I am unsure if anyone would get that reference. ^^; Hmmm, but yeah, at least I have her drawn up now, although since I suck at drawing mecha I'll have to find a pre-made one somewhere. Hmmm.

...Hopefully I'll have this done over the next few days. ^^; Sorry if I'm taking too long.
