[OOC] Pilots Wanted! A Titanfall RP

[Drakey]

@Dragonruby

Oh god, can Cross and Alms go toe to toe? I feel like they are pretty much different faces of the same coin.

[Dragonruby]

@Drakey

Absolutely. Duels between similar people with different ideals are always cool, though I'm not sure how easy it is to duel a sniper in a 4v1 situation.

[OfWindAndRain]

@Dragonruby
I'd just like to point out that your physical description was mainly you explaining why he looked the way he is...

Weary blue eyes, black hair with specks of grey, and...
that's it. What's the rest of his face like?

[Dragonruby]

@OfWindAndRain

It’s just how I write. I’ve personally found it to be a pretty decent way of describing people, giving a few basic descriptions of things people tend to notice first, and then letting people fill in the rest based off of other details I’ve given out on why they look the way they do. Maybe it’s lazy writing, but I do find it a bit more interesting than noting down every single detail of someone’s face. Admittedly I did go pretty light here, but I felt like it was enough to get a decent idea of him. If you guys want more, I can add in more.

[Drakey]

@Dragonruby

Well, Alms is a fair bit away from his troops. As such, you can possibly go around him and get the drop? Alms also has a sword and knife that his titan uses.

[OfWindAndRain]

@Dragonruby
I just have no idea what he looks like. Asian? African? European? Strong-jawed or baby-faced? I can stick a generic face on your character, but they're never going to look anything more than that in my mind because that's what I get used to imagining them as.

I mean, if the GM's cool with it, cool, but we ain't got nothing to go on.

[Drakey]

@Dragonruby

Also, I think that their ideals, when it comes to their troops and soldiers, are the same. They just happen to be on different sides of the fight.

[superservo27]

@Dragonruby Looks pretty good, though put a call-sign for your Titan. It's just 2 letters, a dash, then 4 numbers. And you probably should put a bit more of a description.

[Dragonruby]

@superservo27

Per request, I’ve added a bit more to the descriptions, particularly the face since I haven’t received any other criticisms.

As for Titan callsign, I avoided it since it was noted in the wiki that most Titans, especially those used by the IMC don’t actually use smart AI, and are seen more like vehicles to be swapped between pilots as necessary and that Vanguard class Titans forming bonds like that was unique to the Militia.

I mean, in-game, you gotta give your Titan an upgrade to let them fight like BT does in the campaign, using their abilities independently and such, which I assume simulates giving them similar smart AI.

Being IMC, I figured that he’d try to avoid being attached to his Titan since it’s really only got a Titan OS with a canned personality, but I’ll throw on a callsign. Not hard to do.

Otherwise, any other changes needed before I get accepted?

[Drakey]

@superservo27

Oh hey, just thought about clarifying this:

Madrys is something of a cross between a Stryder and Northstar and is taller than most Titans. Also, she does have her own personality. Se is bubbly and curious, a stark contrast with with Alms.

[superservo27]

@Dragonruby Everything looks good, and the no callsign makes sense after explaining. Approved

[Dragonruby]

Cool, thanks for letting me play. Should my first IC post be Lucas on the defending side? Or something else?

[Drakey]

@Dragonruby

I'd say that your first post will be of watching as the titans fall. You would see Severence tear through a titan and then notice as Alms and Madrys fall on top of the spire. Surmising that the one out of the main fray is their leader, you can try and engage Alms in an attempt to cut the snake's head off.

[superservo27]

This is a loose idea but how about: I post my post, which will end with my guy running into yours with something like "Crap, it's a monarch", then when you post, it'll be you defending then you run into me?

Edit: Or new idea, you go after alms, ending with a hail of bullets nearly missing you, and my post will be me seeing you and following, and defending alms?

[Drakey]

@superservo27

Oh shoot, I like that. When Jager runs into the monarch, make sure to send a comm up to Alms. That way I can reply and possibly get a shot off on the Monarch.

[superservo27]

@Drakey

That was my plan exactly. Now we can get Dragon's IC up and it'll be so cool

[Drakey]

@superservo27@Dragonruby

so Servo first, then Dragon, then me. Sound good?

[Dragonruby]

Sure, that works for me.

[superservo27]

Ok, I'll get on it.

[Drakey]

@Dragonruby

I'm kind of sad. The only other person that Alms would possibly identify with and he's on the other side....

Can't wait for that IC dialogue though.
