Titanfall: City of Angels

[Apollosarcher]

The IMC has struck back, across the sector the Remnant fleet has begun to assault Militia held worlds forcing a sudden withdraws meanwhile the Ares division and Vinson Dynamics have suddenly struck at key targets across space. The sudden attacks have forced many pilots and militia companies to dig as fleet redeploy to aid other colonies or retrieve far out teams of pilots. In response to this, the SRS commander Sarah Briggs has gathered the pilots nearest to Angel City. Her SRS are almost all on assignment and with support from a small fleet and rifle companies these handful of ragtag pilots have been asked and paid to perform an assault to rescue Barker and free Angel city from IMC control.

For accepting the risks and knowing no reinforcements are coming to all pilots have been given the honor of being made members officially of the SRS and given access to the advanced equipment that comes with that title.

---

So as it reads above this RP is based in the Titanfall universe with the Remnant fleet under Spyglass having completed his master plan. With the Militia, however, has become a real fighting force they are able to hold ground even as they war across dozens of plants. With the IMC forces trying desperately to wage an all-out assault the Militia believes that this is it's best chance to hit the now lightly defended key IMC controlled planets.

The first mission will be the rescue of Barker from IMC capture where they plan to put him to death in a public execution and the liberation of Angel City. After that additional missions will come in based on choices made and votes taken by the group in the game. You are mercenaries after all you can decline suicide runs if they don't seem rewarding enough.

While I'm not done with it I'm planning a system where you'll be able to use a base class of mech but add a little more customization too it than in the games. I'd also prefer to avoid doubles of the same Titan save for Monarch and Vanguard Titan's which I plan to give more extensive kit too with the restriction that they lose out on more exotic weapons.

The Titan's

Scorch

What this Orge class titan lacks in speed it makes up for in sheer armor plating and damage. A well placed and well-timed Scorch can force a much larger force of Titan's into retreat.

Scorch Titan's can select two augments from the following.

Fireproof Plating: Scorch no longer can be damaged by burning explosions, however, can sheer the plating.

Custom launcher: Able to fire two shots before reloading or fire both in a single volley.

Napalm Canisters: Scorch can toss dose other Titan's in thrown napalm canisters which will make the titan continue to burn through at a cost as Napalm does not burn as hot as Thermite doing less damage.

Defensive Kit: Giving Scorch a boost and larger flame barrier.

Legion

Where Scorch can damage multiple targets quickly and dominate territory, no one melts a single target faster than Legion. With it's long and short range formats backed by its thick armor and massive ammo capacity.

Legion may choose two of the following modifications.

Custom Ammo: Replacing the long range and short range modes of the minigun with two kinds of special ammunition that require short to be used. Armor piercing for other heavy targets and high explosive rounds made to kill pilots and shred the innards of lighter Titans.

Shield wall: When not moving Legion's shield expands to protects it's entire front from incoming fire until broken or depleted.

Suppression systems: Legion can engage a powerful suppression system where rather than using his cores targeting system he further increases fire rate even higher to pin his enemies under a barrage of lead providing cover to pilots and dealing massive if the enemy cannot take cover.

Mobility kit: Legion can fire maintain speed while firing further losing accuracy and gains a boost.

Tone

Tone is an Atlas class Titan mobile as it armored, a fair middle ground. Tone specializes in being able to hit and defend itself as it pressed the attack against the enemy. With it's tracking missile system and deployable barrier system which it can fire from behind and it's sonar ping allowing the Titan to quickly find enemies.

Tone may choose two of the following combat systems

Anti-Infantry combat systems: After the ping Tone's tracking system will lock on to body heat signatures allow a flurry of missiles to strike at the infantry nearby it.

Improved fire rate: Allows the 40mm rifle to fire automatically, however, firing at long becomes impossible and medium-range still causes multiple shots to miss.

Fortress upgrade: Allows two stronger shields to be deployed but they lose the ability to improve shots fired from inside of them.

Hunter-Killer package: Adding an additional boost and faster missile acquisition to target through the use of pinging. This kit makes Tone much more mobile.

Ion

Ion is an Atlas Titan specializing in variable and adaptable with use of powerful lasers and turning enemy weapons against them. Ion is highly adaptable and much stronger at fighting any kind of Titan as Ion does not depend on large immobile barriers like Tone using her own gravity well like device to capture enemy projectiles and redirect them.

Ion may select two of the following upgrades.

Twin Laser system: Gives Ion twin mounts on the small laser it still is best to allow it to charge first.

Improve energy management: Ion can force a priority to restore energy pools rather than keep itself mobile. This is a large risk but if timed well can allow Ion to be very deadly as it can keep combat pressure on.

Redirective protocols: Ion gains an addition boost and the gravity well energy consumption is lowered allowing more liberal of the Ion's shield also allows a second set of mines to be laid.

Maximum efficiency: Ion's Splitter rifle doubles its ammo count allowing for more effective firing.

Northstar

Northstar is a sniper with additional combat ability through flight and mines to delay its foes. Northstar is hard to catch and lethal to caught unaware by. Built on a Strider class for maxium speed depending on not getting hit rather than surving the shot.

Northstar may choose two of the following customizations.

Advanced targeting: Highlights and reveals critical systems to Northstar also allows for further zoom.

Lightened frame: Northstar can sustain much longer flight and can identify stuctures with enough stability to support it for superior positioning.

Enhanced evasion protocol Allows Northstar to gain an additional dash and drop up to three mines at a time.

Sniper protocol: Northstars railgun spins up faster and gains a secondary missile both missiles. The railgun also can do a higher amount of damage if allowed to spool longer.

Ronin

Ronin, a Strider class Titan specializing in high damage melee and hunting weakened Titans bringing them down swift with its shotgun and sword combo. Ronin is all about his speed and timing of his powers requiring a pilot to play a dangerous game to put the Titan to its full use.

Ronin may select one of the two following upgrades.

Path of Speed: Gaining an addition dash and a faster recharge on the phase dash.

Path of Samurai: Replacing the Leadwalls spread with solid slugs increasing range and critical damage.

Charged Blade: Losing the ability to throw out a damaging shockwave Ronin's blade gains the ability to give short stuns to the whatever it hits slowing the opponent down and allowing for better harassment.

Twin Protocol: With its versatile limbs and high agility, twin protocol allows a pilot outside of the Titan to override it's combat systems and have it mimic it's pilots own movements. Situational at the best of times it does allow for the pilot to help assist it's titan from a distance.

I'm in if you'll have me.

[Default]

Totally in!

[FourtyTwo]

Interesting...I'll keep an eye on this :)

[Apollosarcher]

@kingkonrad @Default @Starlance

Updated the interest check with the first six Titan's and upgrades I've come up with for them. If you have your own ideas for the Titan you're interested in let me know!

[Thecrash20]

Intrested!

[FourtyTwo]

@Apollosarcher

I've always loved Legion. Something absolutely kickass about a multi-barelled chaingun and this absolutely crazy brute-force approach. Either that or Tone- I might have custom suggestions but that would come later down the line.

[Starlance]

Always liked the Tone, but will go with something else if someone beats me to it.

[Apollosarcher]

@Default @Starlance @kingkonrad @Thecrash20

I wanted to ask if you guys want the Vanguard/Monarch added to this or should we leave that off for now?

[Default]

@Apollosarcher
I absolutely adore Ronin.

[Vulkan 707]

I am very interested, and would love to rp the Northstar titan.

[Yoyo]

Im interested and would love to play Northstar. Is there a particular character sheet you'd like us to use? @Apollosarcher

[Apollosarcher]

@Yoyo Yep! We've set a proper RP and I've started taking character sheets it can be found here.

ummm

I have a cs and titan form another RP, submitting for any chance of approval:

Frederick Alms

Name: Frederick Alms
Age: 52 (though his body perished at the age of 31)
Gender: male
Nationality: n/a
Text Color: This is the color of his speech
Height: 6'
Weight: 175 lbs.
Physical description (put a picture if you want, no anime)

Frederick:


Hologram Frederick:


His Titan, Madrys (Alpha Alpha-5500):


Madrys -
Built from the remains of both a stryder and a northstar, Madrys lacks true flight and cannot glide, however, her speed is boosted and she can jump a lot farther with more power. Her unique drive system, designed by Alms himself, allows for more freedom of movement. However, it comes with a cost. More sensors are needed to monitor her various functions. When a limb is lost, the sensors are also lost. A feedback loop is created and Madrys experiences 'pain'. Pain far worse than anything a human could have experienced. As such, Madrys' cockpit is filled with hundreds of manual controls that can cut her circuits off from lost body parts.

Personality/Attitude:
Frederick (Alms) Is a somewhat loud guy, being made up of metal and all. He is quiet when it comes to people though. Because of this, many people assume that he happens to just be a typical BRD-01 Spectre, at least until he talks. He isn't afraid to call people out on their bull, and actually derives a bit of joy from it. He prefers to work on either his own body or the body of his Titan than interact with others.
Skills/Talents:
Mechanic. <- that's it. He is a really bloody good mechanic.
Favourites/Likes:
Machines
Vanilla
The Beastie Boys
Most Hated/Dislikes:
Idiots, oh god how he hates idiots
Chocolate
Goals/Ambitions:
He wants to create the 'perfect' simulacrum. He wants to create a body for himself that is almost indiscernible from a normal human body.
Strengths:
Sniping. While not being very good in hand to hand combat, Frederick is an accomplished sniper.
Machines
Weaknesses:
Hand to hand combat
Fears:
Being melted down, ripped apart, or having his circuitry removed.
Frederick has a nearly pathological fear of water, as it can short circuit his components.
Hobbies/Interests:
He likes to collect nuts, bolts, and other bits and pieces of technology and machinery

BIO:

(This is being added because of the change in ranking)

Frederick Alms was a genius. He grew up on the core worlds, his skills having been noticed by the IMC at a young age. As soon as he graduated high school, he was enlisted by some of their PR guys. For the next seven years, Alms developed new technologies with outstanding speed, easily rocketing up to the rank of being a legend within the engineers and mechanics of the IMC. However, he suddenly disappeared.

Alms had fallen in love with a woman that lived on one of the frontier worlds. A world that used to belong to the IMC. He had a daughter with this woman. SHe was three. Then it happened. The IMC, fearing that the world was holding militia, attacked. The funny thing, the militia came after the attack started. They, at least, tried to evacuate those they could, but it was too late. Alms wife and daughter were already dead, killed by one of the weapons that he, himself, had developed.

Taking his research on the newest model of Titan, the Madrys, Alms defected to the militia. He had one goal: to avenge his wife and daughter. With a Northstar titan, Alms' name became known to the IMC once more. Though, this time, they were afraid. His skills in being a pilot were easily seen. By the time that the IMC took him down, he had destroyed 75 titans, 15 of which were in close combat, and this was with a Northstar.

However, Alms had taken to copying his mind and uploading it to a BRD-01 Spectre before every drop. With express directions to his friends in the militia, Alms dropped with recklessness. After the IMC brought him down, Alms woke up in the Spectre. Then he disappeared again, for ten years. He finished the Madrys, built her completely, and returned. Nine years have passed since then, and Alms has gained a grand total of 200 kills.

The IMC knows him once more, and they fear him. He is the terror that does not die. He is a legend, a reaper, and an avenger.
