Yes, this is currently open. Please submit an age first.

With which Ariamis means that, before you submit your sheet, you should tell us your character's age so they can roll experience and synchronization rates for them.

Hmm. Yeah that makes sense. Still, I just don't want to be left out too much since first off, don't want her to wake up too early. Otherwise, she'd most likely have some mental defect. I did think about doing that actually but eh, wasn't sure if I can play that out right.

And even though I'm going through alot for a second character, Jake is really just a "temp" till either Mai or even Elora return, more RP characters show or if Lorenzo and/or Ritsu themselves feel that Jake had served his purpose. I just want to keep involved with the other character drama's.

Then again...I could be digging my own grave with this too -___-'

Still, I went through the hoops so I better at least show for it. This time, I went in a new direction mech wise (Updated):

Name: Jake Armstrong

Appearance:
Stands 6'2".

Age: 18

Experience:
Synchronization Rate:

Personality: He's easy to talk to, cheerful and sometimes talks in rhymes due to his hobby in music. Though when the battle starts, he does develop a serious personality but not on the extreme like Mai does. He does get moody though if anyone tries to talk to him about his past.

Motive to live: Unknown (Refuses to reveal).

Background: Jake comes from a long line of military family. His last name is rather well-known around certain military social circles. It's said that his parents and even his grandparents were either pilots or were in engineering and mechanical divisions within the military. Even more so when the Cruxi started their war with humanity. Though he doesn't like talking about it, it's said that his grandparents and his father died during the war with the Cruxi. His only living relative being his mother who is rumored to be a framework pilot.

But when you look at Jake and even his personality, some would think that he'd be the "black sheep" of the family and not a proper soldier slash pilot...though Jake has proved that, despite his lack of experience, "looks can be deceiving".

It's also said that he even met Mai when she was transfered to his division. Though Jake admits that it was probably because of him that Mai transfered out of it due to him trying to "lighten her up" and getting her involved with his music.

It was also because of Mai's current "coma" state and his various skills with "drones" and "reconnisance" that Jake requested a transfer to Lorenzo's Sigma division.

Notable Deaths: Grandparents - K.I.A. Father - K.I.A. Mother - Active (framework pilot?)

Other things: As stated, Jake's hobbies include music, video games, reading and mechanic's due to him learning to maintain his own framework as well as "drone" matience. He's also very perceptive of his surroundings and even people and sometimes Cruxi during combat. Even in an urban environment, he can sometimes spot a threat or something "out of place". He's also a decent long range shooter. However, unlike other members of his family, always had trouble with Melee combat. It's also one of the reasons why some consider Jake the "Black Sheep" since most of the Armstrong family favor melee and martial arts types of fighting over long range.

Framework Code Name: Weissritter aka "White Knight" (Model ID code: PTX-007-03C)

Appearance:

Signature Weapon System: "Neo" Rifle - Originally called the Oxtongue Rifle and as shown in the above picture, Jake changed the name to "Neo" since he felt that it was "the one" perfect long range rifle for any pilot worthy of long range support. The reason being is because it's a double-barrel rifle with each barrel shooting two different types of shots. The top barrel fire energy/laser blasts through a rechargable battery clip. While the battery can recharge fairly quickly (after each turn), Jake CAN fire it rapidly but at the cost of burning the clip out (meaning he has to reload if he has a clip). The lower barrel fire bullets of a variety of types though Jake finds the standard ammo plenty since, as a rifle, still packs a serious punch. But much like a real rifle, Jake has to pull the handle on the trigger grip to load the next shot in. And after 8 shots, needs to reload a fresh clip (if he has any). And much like any rifle, it does have trouble handling close range targets due to it's size and length so care is needed when handling it.

Secondary Weapon System: Air "Recon" Drones - As the name suggests, Jake has about 5 recon drones attached to the back of the White Knight. Perhaps similar to the ones used by a pilot from within Lorenzo's Sigma division, the drones assist Jake by taking to the sky and update him and even his team on the battlefield as well as finding targets for Jake to snipe. Be it Automated or Manual control, Jake can do both with the drones. Because of his skills and job as a "recon" expert, he also uses the combat data recorded to plan for any new Cruxi or enemy units discovered as well as abnormalities in an attempt to give other divisions proper counter-measures during the war. Though he hasn't been able to do so yet, he hopes to one day record what he calls "warp signatures" from the Cruxi since he heard rumors that some Cruxi utilitze that technology.

Armor Type: Medium

Special Ability: ???

Note: Another weapon to note is the three "stakes" on the left hand. Normally within three points around the wrist area, they can pop out and produce a high-voltage electric shock as a last resort melee attack to at least stun a target for Jake to retreat or retaliate against. Again, it's a last resort that Jake wishes to never use often due to his weakness in close range combat. It also has enough energy for one charged attack so after that, he can't use it for the rest of the battle since it needs serious time to recharge.

Just reupdating what I have so far. And welcome to the RP GamerXZ. Hope you have better luck with a character and framework than me -___-'

Ok, I think I'll go for 20 years old.

@GamerXZ
Add these to your sheet.

@DarkRecon I think that the reason we are so hard on you is because you are a veteran of this game, you already have one character in it, and despite that you want to use a different character, who initially was very cookie-cutter of the first character. So, yes, we have been hard on you, but it's because you can do better, or you can just wake Mai up and skip this whole process and engage in the role play.

So, considering this is an RP involving Giant Robots, I assume there has been copious amounts of Hot-Blooded Screaming, absurd maneuvers, crazy gambles, and lots of stuff blowing up? XD

Acccctuuuuaaaalllyyy...

This is a giant robo RP that focuses more on the realistic and grim aspects of it all. Certainly, the amount of jank stuff we can pull is nothing to sneeze at, but it's not the complete focus. For example, one moment we can have Yeager using his thrusters to ram into another mech and take BOTH of them down, followed by the screams of agony half the planet away as a superweapon massacres an entire colony and half the lineup of framewerks get put into a state of being unable to fight.

Or how one mech can use itself as a living electrical grenade, nuking the entire tile, while on the other side of the map another gets torn to shreds as it desperately tries to flee from incoming missile fire.

TLDR; We certainly do SOME of the above, but it's also mixed with realistic 'Combat is hardly a happy affair' type of stuff.

EDIT: Actually, go and read these last... three or so pages if you want a good idea of it. This battle is a good showcase of that. I could also link you the mock battle, where some of us (Lookin' at you, Draco and Atomic) pulled some stupid stuff and got away with it.

To be honest my pilot is 14. So it is hilarious how she has top specs.

I rammed another robot in the mock battle. In the most recent battle it was a tentacle monster.

And in my defense, I made it clear from the get go that I was going to be reckless and pull stupid stunts.

Also I'm tired of not posting because of X and Y reasons so I'm doing it today. Collabs and shit can be done later.

I refer to everything as a mech, including Cruxi. As far as I'm aware, those things are half machine anyway.

So, what exactly is the hold up on the IC posts, if I may ask?

WELL.

Some of us are busy, others are lazy(me), some of us are trying to get collabs done, ...

Basically, there's a lot bogging us down. I'm trying to get a collab done with Atomic, then go to one for Ariamis and after THAT I can finally start doing solo IC posts again (but will probably bug Jason anyway, once they're officially in squad Sigma)

Ok, sorry. I just felt I should ask cause the last IC post was about a week ago.

@GamerXZ
It may seem awfully quiet at first glance, but the people here are understanding when it comes to everyone's posting schedules, and so we've been keeping it chill. As for hot-bloodedness, that is ok here as long as you don't charge frantically every opportunity that comes to you; some situations can't be passed through with simple screaming and courage. Blowing up stuff on the other hand...

@DarkRecon
Accepted, add these stats to your sheet:

Synchronization Rate: 57%
Experience: 35%

Well looks like somebody else finally got the shit rolls. Same base total as Roger had.

Heh. Yeah.

And thanks Ariamis. But just to let you know, if you get a sudden influx of RPers into this RP and you need to reduce your attention amonst so many characters, I could drop Jake and say he was transfered or perhaps injured or...though I don't want to, K.I.A. GamerZX suddenly joining out of nowhere showed me that others are still possibly watching this.

Also, like I said before, I forgot what Mai's default sync rate value was before her battle at Joppa. I changed the character sheet during combat to help me track it but didn't realize the "drops" weren't permanment. I think it was slightly higher than 66% but eh, maybe I should keep it where it is considering her condition may have dropped it further.

Now to place Jake somewhere...I suppose he should report to either Lorenzo or Ritsu or perhaps just put him at Mai's medical room...

"Out of nowhere"? They've been on the waiting list for three months, dude.

Since @Dragoknighte hasn't done it yet and I have a bit of spare time, here's the updated lists. Harold moves up a stage, and lotsa ties. And for those wondering, I've removed Nikolas since we haven't seen anything of Dawnscroll in a while.

I had to go back 52 pages in OOC to find this, of 7 months backwards in time. That is how long it has taken us to get this far. So, Mai, there was your last permanent score.
