I've been a squad leader of a NPC squad in RPs before, and it does help VERY much for my post sizes. I'm not the best RPer out there, and I find msyelf without a paragraph in my posts without bad filler content. But with two+ characters to play with, I'd be a happy camper playing 'second fiddle' to the mechs in a platoon. I also have ideas sprouting in my head as to different load-outs and different vehicles the small squad would use already.I also imagine the mechs to be less of an 'average' thing on the battlefield. Sure there are plenty, but I imagine they are a larger expense than normal grunts. I could RP the perspective of those without mechs.

Yeah, the GEARs are part of a combined force in all the militaries on the planet. Infantry are still the mainstay of a military, and then the mecha fill the gap between the infantry and heavier vehicles like tanks. 
It's all in the background docs, give them a read and you'll see where and how everything fits together, or at least have a much better idea of it. 
I've got some ideas of on what vehicles etc. would be in use, so as I said - if we collaborate on it a bit, then it'll be fine.

Do you mind if I reserve a spot, only IF you plan on upping the player cap. If not, it's totally fine :). The RP that I've recently started appears to to have turned into a sinking ship, and I can't save it even if I tried :(. Hence, my schedule may start opening up in the future. It's just that I need time to read through all of the files to see if anything has changed from the original. I also need time to re-write Clayton's sheet, because I just realized I don't have a back up and will need to start from scratch -_-.Again, it's completely your call if you want to allow me in or not.

I'm more than happy for you to join in - I'll tag the last two open spots with your name and Esailia's, and we'll call it closed at that point. I won't be starting until everyone's who expressed an interest has posted a character or at least told me whether they're going to be or not, so there's no rush there, and I'd rather not start and then have to rejigger everything on the fly to squeeze people in.

EDIT: I've added Rultaos and Esailia to the list of current players/characters in the OP, and updated the message to say that we are now [b]closed to new applicants[/b]. Anyone else who's interested and not already here will have to go on a waiting list.
