ehm... just another update, I think I'm actually almost done (don't take my word for it >.>), just adding a few finishing touches.Here's a preview of the CS I'll be providing* to participants (I'm putting way a lot of work into this), the CS also provides a view of the universe Prototype is set in:*providing, I mean the image style CS, not the characters....
Oh wow, jeez, it's kinda a rough draft still but I can give you a gist: the size and weight of the mech are two important factors, the bigger and heavier the slower and the greater their melee is and vice versa. So players can choose between having a smaller and light mech or something bigger. And of course there is the gray area.
I believe you should leave it on the blue as for now, thing with the draft atm is that I'm working on the universe which it is set in and unfortunately is branching out to become it's own RP >.> And I don't know when I'll get it done or at least revise what I already have...
im totally in on this idea, and everyone has some great ideas. there was an Anime that i liked, it was an anime movie broken into a mini series type deal it was called "Broken Blade" it started as a Manga i think.. anyway, you can look it up if you wanted. i like the ideas of an all human war, but the prospect of an Alien race.. maybe two of them.. one coming to conquer the other coming to aid us.. it has promise too.
I know and love Broken Blade, I ate that anime in a single day :)) It's one of the inspirations I have for this RP but I wanted something more casual than political, the spin-off would be the politics side of things. I kinda wanted this Mecha RP to become something like a Destruction Derby kinda of thing but with Mechs.
I would be interested as well. Character submission here.. I can make whatever changes are needed.

Marauder Mk-II
An older model mech with a simple user nterface, which Margaret prefers over the newer model types. No hastle bare bones equipment. Durable as well as formidable on the front lines. Jump/Halo capabilities with target acquisition aids, stabilizers, and several other choice systems and payloads that change upon deployment. Soot black/ matte finish paint that is specifically designed and enhanced with stealth-like capabilities.
Emotionally Detached, Margaret has been found as being cold and unpredictable. She shows signs of delusion, and also suffers from Manic Bipolar disorder with extreme mood differentiation. She is highly manipulative, and is considered to be very intelligent, thus making her a threat to others. She has no concept of remorse for her actions, nor shows any signs of sympathy.
Margaret Gunn is the direct result of a girl, who was orphaned at an early age. No one in the world to care for her, nor did she care for another. She was raised in numerous orphanages and group homes throughout her entire childhood. One of these in particular had quite an extensive file on Margaret.. The sisters at the this particular priory described her as "a hard case, with little hope of ever gaining any normality in life" and as "a loner". Her behavior during her early years was antisocial and stand offish, and was entirely pragmatic. Shortly after she became violent and malicious towards others, staff and ward alike. She caused great mental and emotional strain, as well as bodily harm to the other girls and several of the sisters that kept her ward. It was apparent to them that she was a bad seed, and there was nothing that was going to change that. She became highly manipulative and intimidated everyone. Sister Agnes Mary was quoted as saying that "her very presence in the room could send shivers down your neck" and also that "it would be in your best interests to avoid making eye contact"
It wasn't long before the sisters had made the decision that her behavior could not, and would not be tolerated any longer. Just shy of turning sixteen, the sisters turned her over to the military. A recruiter named Sgt. D. C. Beckett came to the priory and her care was left in his hands. It wasn't long before she landed a position in a general infantry platoon, where she seemed to excel. It was even noted that she was a model grunt. She breezed through training and she gained rank in great stride. Her behavior on base was not exactly of merit, and she was cited numerous infractions. These infractions were looked over by her performance in the field. She had been in the military for 14 years before her induction into the 101st and was dubbed a "lifer" from that point on. Soldiers like Maggie weren't cut out for retirement. Shortly after she joined the 101st she went on to more pertinent training such as advanced tactics training, as well as interrogation training and the art of espionage, which later became her field of expertise.
The individuality embraced by the 101st of the Republic seemed to fit her, and she has grown and excelled in every aspect since her enlistment. She lives for the mission, and her brothers on the field. As her training continued she began to flourish into a regular war machine. She was soon assigned to an elite group, known in the Republic as "The Birds of Prey", who specialized in missions that were delicate in nature, assassinations, extractions, and various other dicey mission objectives. She was soon named "The Raven" by her colleagues, due to her macabre nature on the battlefield. She is an exceptional soldier, elite in all aspects, though her methods are sometimes questionable and have been described on several occasions as being extreme.
She has also been known to suffer from a condition known to soldiers as being blood drunk. It is commonly described as a state of rage where she fades in and out of consciousness and mutters to herself incoherently during battle. She also believes in the mythological Valkyrie, and to see her in action, one might wonder whether or not she is right. Some say she is a clairvoyant, and can see moments into the near future, but that is only speculation which she thoroughly denies. Aside from her "issues", she is a top notch soldier, and elite in all aspects of combat. She works best alone, or in small units or squads, and isn't known to be incapable of completing any task given. She is perhaps most affective in the field of interrogation as well as espionage. Again, her methods are not exactly common, but are highly effective.
