In the dim light of the room, the Military commander swallowed hard. he had five stars on his shoulders and was a usually proud man. However, this was not his finest hour. This was a bit far fetched, no this was fucking insane, asinine and not ok. This was as alien to him as well... the fucking aliens invading the planet. He cursed under his breath.

"I..... grr...." The commander began to say, only for his assistant to speak up. "Sir, please, time is short as it is, we need you to introduce the new group to the current situation." the woman said.

"Fine! you..... things are new soldiers and weapons for the Asgard initiative. We captured one of their down saucers and the boys..." he said, then got a mean look from the assistant. "... and girls in the lab figured out it was how they manufactured weapons and were so quick to come up with new weapons to counter our own. It's how we've been losing and you're merely the second group to be produced from this machine. As to how we got it working, none of our scientists have been able to produce anything worthwhile, nor our soldiers.... turns out it requires an immense amount of passion and love for the created object. We brought in gun enthusiasts but they only produced normal weapons. So we turned to the only source of weaponry on par with the enemy, nerds, otaku and gamers. You're the offspring of their minds and passion, so we have no choice but to entrust the planet's survival to you. We're down to but a few bases and the rest of planet is in ruins. Please girls, we're counting on you to fight for us...." He said as the lights came up to the mecha-girls infront of him.

Turning and leaving, the commander walked into his officer, then sat in his chair. He had a family line of military leaders, generals and heroes. He needed their guidance, he needed their luck and their skills. What he needed right now though, was the strongest scotch he could find.

Right, welcome to Asgard, aliens have started to invade the planet and our hopes and dreams ride on the girls brought to life that display the characteristics of mecha through gear and several other facets.

As it stands, most of the earth has been destroyed and there are only several pockets of resistance left against the Aliens invading the planet. Most notable is the Asgard Initiative, which uses said mecha girls to fight the aliens head on. The roleplay will consist of missions, scavenging and some slice of life interaction on base.

well ill be interested

Kinda interested in this.

Count me interested!

hoping for one more person, then i'll toss the thread up.

So... its Monster Mesume but instead of monster girls its mech/robot girls and more action oriented instead of... fetish oriented? Am I understanding it right? And the mechs are... gundam size, Transformers size, or human size?

They're human-sized.

This is what a mecha-musume looks like:



Or this:

Oh, whats the point then? Its just the exact same thing every other anime does. Not even any cool cyborg parts like Deus Ex. I was hoping for something like tiny transformers (That don't turn into cars) or something of that nature. No Cyberpunk is sad.

Such a shame that is what Anime has been and wont change. :( And you'd think Japan would be more into cyberpunk stuff considering how much they like mechs.

You don't like real-life weapons systems turned into cute girls? If you say so, plebeian.

Look at this Ha-Go - isn't she cute? Don't you wanna reward her amazing battlefield performance by loading your shell into her breech?

My problem is just how... predictable anime is now. Plus Japan's reluctance to do anything new with character design, esp when it comes to females. Males get it a little more lenient with character design because Japan doesn't care about them as much as male sexuality isn't taboo over there as much. I could go into a long detailed explanation why Japan is so adamant against not making non human character designs but... thats not here nor there. TDLR of that discussion though, Japan will be mostly dead in 100 years if their societal trends continue.

I'm just sad thats what the characters would look like. I was expecting something more like... I dunno... smaller sentient Gundoms or something. Something more unique instead of bland girls cosplaying with paper mache robot bits sticking out of or incorporating their limbs or non 'sexy' bits.

good luck with the RP though.

You want to make a walking Tiger I? That is so incredibly boring. Now, a cute girl who's a Tiger I? Bloody magnificent.

I'm more thinking of... Like Arcee from Transformers Prime, just human shape, you know, an actual 'mech' or 'robot' instead of a cyborg but with cyborg parts that make no sense due to how its just putting blocky bits on a female frame without any of the head or body tech necessary to support such bulky appendages like male characters get. Hence it looks like a girl with cosplay bits on instead of something that makes sense.

Dude, bipedal weapons platforms like the Transformers make as much sense as cute girls who are also tanks. They'd be prone to mechanical failure and be notoriously easy targets. They are also less cute than cute girls who are also tanks. Therefore, cute girls who are also tanks win.

Right, this seemed to have blown up, but there are people who enjoy this style of character and those are the ones I'm targeting. There's plenty of people who enjoy things like kancolle and strike witches, all I'm doing is replacing ww2 with scifi mecha. It'll appeal to some and not others.

Still in just so you know. Will find a suitable character soon.

This one looks good (maybe ignore the ears and tail)

I'll allow ww2 vehicles, but know you'll be playing with a handicap.

I was piucturing more along these lines:

@mcpop9 Oh! I thought it was older things. In that case I'll have another character. Character sheet by any choice?

@Lmpkio sheet is up in the op. :p

@mcpop9 Ah it is. Sorry about that. Forgot it was up there.

i think there's enough interest, i'm going to post the thread.
