DYNAMO'S LOG/b]
[b]YEAR: 2102:
Humanity discovers its newest source of energy, Ethus, a highly volatile but powerful clean alternative to nuclear energy.
The energy corporations take control of all the major branches of the worlds government, and soon enough, war breaks out....
YEAR: 2138:
Four Major wars rage on around the world, the conflict pushes combat engineers to develop CVFs (Combat Vehicle Frames), the huge Mechas are powered by Ethus and cause major damage to civilization, 90 % of the worlds cities are is now in ruin.. the richest and most elite create an almost utopian fortress in what used to be South Africa near Cape Town, They seal off the Mega Empire with powerful shields and an army of cutting edge Frames.
YEAR: 2152:
The world becomes the 'New Wild West' many of the engineers and mechanics from the armies, defect from the war and start selling mechas to private armies and militias, before long there is almost no more allegiance to any particular nations, factions form, bandits gather, and bounty hunters set out to take what they can from what they see as a lost world waiting to controlled and exploited.
YEAR: 2157:PRESENT DAY:
From what I can tell, the majority of the 'New Wild West' is in the american continent, main cities and towns seem to have been built in what used to be Mexico, with a lot of the CVF factories being in florida, apart from a few militias, derelict towns, and semi functional Ethus Power Plants, which are frequently raided, in the midwest , Americais largely a vacant wasteland.
Actually so is most of the world, the super fortress in south africa called 'Monolith' is cut off from the world, the last things close to what you could call 'armies' are in China & Japan 'The Red Monarchy' and their last remaining opponents 'The Seaboard Frontier' which is in Canada. Although they are a very small fraction of what they once were, they still have the most power outside of monolith due to their organised and trained CVF armies and large supply of Ethus in their respective regions.
.......But no matter, soon it will all be mine anyway............
Overview: Iron Demons is largely a freeform open world Mecha pilot RP, you will play the role of a Mecha Pilot who is currently in the Midwestern Wasteland, though your motives will depend largely on your background. You will begin as a 'team' who are asked to do a single job, after that you are left to your own desires on how you would like to continue in the game(stay in a team, split off into factions, join an army, become a bounty hunter,search for Ethus, etc).
Mechas: Your CVFs or 'Frames' will have varying abilities, one advantages will cause another disadvantage, here are some of the pro/cons.
Mechas that can Fly, suffer in armour and equipment, if your mecha can fly like a bee it because it has little to no armour and can only carry smaller weapons
the opposite is that if your mecha is a heavily armoured tank, it wont be able to fly at all. Something in between may be able to fly but for shorter busts or may have to sacrafice air mobilty to fly.
Weapon Weights/Availability
The weapons used in Iron Frames are slightly advanced fire arms buit for massive frames, this is a rough chart to determine the weight of weapons, 'units' depending on the size of the mech depends on how much weight they can carry in units, if you want a weapon that isnt on the chart,(Missile Launcher) then ask a GM for an estimation
Unit 1 class (weighs 1 unit)
Pistols, Grenades (Per 10), Small hand Melee weapons (daggers) etc
Unit 2 class
Submachine Guns, Shields , Sword Sized Melee weapons, Arm mounted weapons (wrist launchers) etc
Unit 3 Class
Rifles, two handed melee weapons, back mounted weapons, etc
Unit 4
Heavy Duty Weapons, Large Cannons, MiniGuns, etc
Example: Ryder has a Weight Class 7 Frame it is fairly heavy, it cant fly but can use thrusters for jump/air dashing has poor accelaration, strong armour and below average mobility. Because he is Class 7 he can carry up to 7 units worth of weapons (x2 pisols, 1 Combat Rifle, and 1 Motor Sword)
