Mobile Raid
There was an uncomfortable amount of silence in the boardroom as Representatives looked across to the respective Ministers. Today would mark the day that the four Countries would sign the Galactic Union Pact. Which would declare Titanis and Unios independent states of Government, despite having their separate state of government neither Regulis or Empiria ever respected.
This story begins on Earsia, a planet not too different from Earth itself. Except that the land masses never separated from each other, the tectonic plating of the planet much slower to change than that on Earth, instead giving birth to four Pangea States.
These states overtime would switch many hands until the birth of the four modern Pangea States, known as Regulis, Empiria, Titanis, and Unios.
These states overtime would switch many hands until the birth of the four modern Pangea States, known as Regulis, Empiria, Titanis, and Unios.
Regulis and Empiria were the biggest super continents while Titanis and Unios were smaller in comparison, though still sizable in comparison to anything anyone on Earth would consider small when their neighbors are one giant Pangea State.
People will always say because of Regulis and Empiria size they never quite really respected nor viewed Titanis and Unios as independent states, despite them having their own state governments, leaders, and representatives.
Under a Treaty of the States, government was done under a Universal system, that only individualized based on state needs and these were to be agreed upon by the Minister’s Counsel alongside Representative of Citizen and Law.
Regulis was the Northern landmass on Earsia, they are known to have 15 major cities, with several, several minor cities, and had three capitals all within different Territories instead of states. Just like Empiria they were extremely economical and viable, after several years of conquering and overthrowing a number of different state governments that had cropped up over the history of the Northern Landmass.
Empiria served as Southern Landmass on Earsia, they are known to have 19 major cities, with many minor cities involves and had five capitals within different Territories. Also extremely wealthy and influential Empiria. They are said to have had a number of trade agreements with the minor countries of the Titanis and Unios.
There’s a reason why historically the smaller countries under the influence of Titanis and Unios have passed bills and laws Empiria has presented in the past. Because of the fairer treatment Empiria had presented them.
Titanis one of the smaller countries and inhabiting a Northern space with Regulis, a large island. It has been known to both Administrations Regulis and Empiria, of how resourceful Titanis landmass is. Several ores, oil, and other sources of fuel have come from Titanis. Even the Cobaltic Ore that would later fuel the cores of mecha engineering would come from Titanis.
Unios a smaller country as well, sat somewhere in the Middle Eastern equator of Earsia would also be considered a rather valuable country with many resources. Less used for its ore, and more used for its source of fossil fuels, as well exotic goods that came from Unios. Unios is also to be said to be the place where Regulis and Empiria have placed secret bases of operations, that have led to their scientific development in each Country.
Unios has been building both States materials from military goods, to common civilian tech for years. And it has been said that it was a Unios soldier who designed the first prototype version of a Mobile Suit for future wars.
The RP
For the last seven years a war has been going on between Four States on Earsia. Titanis and Unios have always been in economic debt or economic slavery to Regulis and Empiria. And are responsible for a terrorist group known as Shadow Dogs giving grief to Regulis and Empiria army bases. While Minister Gregor and Xander are fighting a different war all by themselves, about dominance and power.
Furthermore the nature of this war has been complicated by the sudden release of a new military technology known as Mobile Suits.
You are the pilots of your designated army, of your choice, with these new Mobile Suit technologies to help bring Victory or Defeat to your State.
Mobile Suits
Mobile Suits in this universe are mecha machines that run on a Cobaltic Core, run by Cobalt Particle Plasma. They are unique in design, and all have different purposes. You will get the chance to make your own Mobile Suit.
Just keep in mind, design needs to be grounded, you are in a war, terrain will be various. You will fight in mountains, but also deserts. You will also probably end up in space, as the countries do own space stations and secret bases on different planets that orbit them.
How a Mobile Suit works, is simple. It’s like an electric car. It run by a Cobaltic Core that creates a Particle Plasma inside the core of the machine. The machine can last up to 8 hours running on this Particle Plasma. However, when you return to your bases your Mobile Suits are docked into a station that recharges these Cobaltic Cores.
Plasma guns, plasma weapons of any sort, use a modecrum amount of Particle Plasma from your machine. Which may or may not contribute to the amount of hours your machine can last running. Also take in factor the faster the machine, the more particle plasma is being utilized. So a fast machine may be able to do a ton of DPS damage, but may have less hours on the field up to 4 to 5 rather than the standard 8. But this is if you utilize the machines fast capabilities.
Where as a machine with a giant cannon, may use up all their particle plasma on the canon and may need a chance to reset and recharge while the machine goes dead for a few brief seconds. Your machines will have limitations, but great strengths as well.
Keep this in mind of the design.

Personality Profile: [we’re going to do personality a little bit different in a way. This is their military on record personality profile. It will include major strengths, major flaws, it will include whether or not they are known to have any mental conditions or have shown signs of mental instability. You will then rank your psych profile from A to D. A being the most stable and D being the most unstable.]

Serial #: [basically makeup serial number for your Mobile Suit. Start with S, S is short for Series. So for example S-C9. So Series Cannon 9]
Name: [this is where you can name your mecha, and be cool. Like this is the Blazin Tiger. Or something. Have fun with this because mechas are fun]
Appearance: [for the Mobile Suits, think Gundam, or Votoms. Not Evangelion as those are more biomechanical.]
Function: [tell me how your Mecha functions, I expect this to be defined, detailed, with limitations of range, speed, etc. Please use common sense when making these machines and when choosing a design. Because not all designs work. And don’t god mod please.]
Weaponry: [because this is always fun, give yourself swords, guns, shields, lasers, cannons, missiles, sniper rifles. Just add. Pile it on. Weapon buffet. Be realistic though.]
Utility: [do you have a cloak, do you have a way to jam enemy radio or tap into it, etc.]
Mobile Suit Attributes: [okay so this isn’t a big technical RP. I am not going to make you roll for anything. But this section allows for a visual representation of the performance of your mecha. This just helps sort out its weaknesses and strengths. Which should be in consideration of all your design choices.]
You Will have 12 points to distribute among the 6 categories, do not put all 12 points into one thing.
Power - this is the overall power of the machine
Speed - obvious
Defense - how effective your shields are, how effective you are at deflecting a move
Offense - I mean if you have 20 fucking swords, then you best know how to use all 20 fucking swords
Firepower - this is the strength of your missiles, the strength of your weaponry
Utility - do you have a cloaking device, do you have some kind of radar that reads into enemy lines, this is what the utility skill is for
