[OOC] Hearts of Metal: A Giant Robot/Mecha RP

[Ariamis]

@ArkmageddonCat and I did another collab. While I could post it right now, I'd rather wait for redbaron's post before doing so, in case Krista had something to ask Lorenzo about. Also, Woot! 600 posts broke! Thanks to everyone who have contributed to the RP; this never would have happened without you guys!

[Penultimate_Pi]

So now that we've acknowledged that Yeshua is quite sociopathic, my next question is "which smartass let him into the Framewerk program?"

[Lmpkio]

You know what guys... I don't think I'll be able to participate in this anymore, or at least for the time being. I'm just not too interested in this RP as much as I originally thought. I don't know if I may come back or not, but I'll keep my profile up JUST in case I ever decide to show up again in the future. Yet that is highly unlikely and I probably won't return anytime soon. So sorry guys and good luck in the rp!

[Ariamis]

@Lmpkio
That's a shame to hear. I hope to see you in other RP's.
@Penultimate_Pi
I don't think Yeshua's a sociopath, otherwise he wouldn't have felt the need to protect Elora, even if it did sicken him.

@Ariamis

Sorry to hear Lmpkio go. Also, Yeshua doesn't have any affliction; he self-educated himself with books and spent most of his youth with his aging grandmother and with a highly religious family of seven, where even then he got very little attention. He had to learn to do most things himself and the lack on interaction around people his age is the reason why he seems like such a jerk to the Pilots.

[LHG100]

Ah yes, the "lack of interaction" slippery slope. Raw ignorance of how to properly conduct yourself makes it harder to learn how to properly conduct yourself, and the frustrations from that might make you actually angry.

A vicious cycle.

Zeus

PILOT

Name: Orion Paris

Appearance

Orion is mistaken as a child sometimes. And when first met on the battle-field some were quite baffled.

Age: 15

Personality: A Selfless, down-to-earth (Punintended) individual. Orion used to express his feelings at a substantial level. Yet since his sister died, he fell into depression. Orion admits that he wouldn't be able to be who he is today without that stage. Overall now, Orion is the same. He cares for others truthfully, he can be quite funny and tends to chat to anyone that approaches him. He's open to conversation, and on rare occasions you might see him act like a goofball, unless you're a true friend.. you'll be seeing him goof off a lot. He tends to take the goofiness to the battle-field, yet it turns into insanity, considering his absolute hate for the Cruxi. As if they are some kind of panic/trigger word that makes him switch from kind-hearted to killing machine.
His insanity, is quite ebullient in a sense of manner, more of a cheerful goofy "I'm gonna fuck you all up" kind of sense. He takes pride in the manipulation of the Greek God!

Motives: To Obliterate the Cruxi. To fight for those who can't. Little Sisters death.

Background:

To say that it was luck to survive a full scale attack by the Cruxi is quite the understatement.

It was more of a sheer privilege, something that comes once in a life-time. Orion was one of few who were in the sights of the Cruxi, yet managed to escape from the hair on his chin. Younger Orion was put into a situation were his sister had just been slaughtered and for all he knew, he was next. Millions, upon millions of thoughts, rushing through his head. What would he do?

Being on the outer-rim was harsh, especially since his home-world was one of the first to go dark, succumbing to the Cruxi. Orion made his living off absolutely anything that he could find. He worked 12 hours each and every day, he even managed to get a meal for dinner every second night. He usually gave his beloved sister and only family his meal of the day, saying "You're young, you need to grow. I'm strong enough, I can handle it. Don't worry". He definitely put his sister in priority, hoping for her to grow up and make better decisions.

To escape the Cruxi the day they invaded his Home-World, It was phenomenal, the odds don't stack up.
It didn't make sense, they killed his sister and everyone else that was nearby. Yet, It was like Orion wasn't a priority towards the Cruxi, they were about to kill him and they suddenly changed there minds?
Orion's escape wasn't meant to happen. He didn't believe that he should deserve to be alive. He regret's his mistake of not trying to do something about his sister. His eyes were forever tainted with his sisters blood. Though he didn't murder her, he sure hell felt like it.

Within the next 12 hours, Orion had been put on an evacuation ship, sent into space, and watched his planet get obliterated along with his only family. He managed to make it, he couldn't believe it. He was begging that his sister should've survived, he was hoping that he was dreaming. It was rather pathetic.
Yet it was true, he survived, she didn't. Orion eventually decided that the only way to satisfy his undying sadness, was to enlist in the Framewerk Project, yet the initial answer was a decline.

Orion demanded to be tested, to take some sort of written or psychological test, some sort of something!
He harassed the recruiters, until they took a look at Orion himself. He was sent to Framewerk Lab, under the experiment tag 'ZEUS TRIALS'. He saw one kid about his age walk out in a wheel-chair, whispering randomly "Shadows, and Chaos" over again, in a eerily tone. Orion, walked in. For some odd reason the two adults in lab coats looked at him, oddly. They checked his report. Orion looked up in astonishment, then focused on the lab-rats speaking to him.

"Well, Orion Paris. Welcome to Project Framewerk: Experiment 090X - ZEUS. Let's hope you survive the real test"

Notable Deaths: Only surviving member of his family. His beloved now ex-girlfriend died before in the invasion, yet not from the Cruxi.

Other Things: During the events of the Cruxi invasion, Orion was ironically struck by a source of lightning, yet he doesn't know.. It happened whilst he was about to die. This event is crucial to Orion's killing insanity, on the battle-field.

FRAMEWERK

Codename: (Obviously) ZEUS

Appearance

Primary Weapon System:
Zeus's equipped with a unique system called "Arklight Thunder", being able to manipulate plasma from his particle generators, in the form of Thunder Bolts, that he can wield in his hand and use as projectiles.

Being able to manipulate space nebulas and the atmosphere on planets to send lightning down on his enemies is another aspect of his primary systems, all his abilities stun enemies. Zeus can stun multiple enemies that are close-by in one cast.
Secondary Weapon System

Zeus's best defensive capability which is used in a radius, shields Zeus from outside projectiles and ranged attacks, whilst inside creates a massive tesla field that stun's enemies inside it's radius, yet deals minute amounts of damage through static electricty. He can also target this on ally frameworks, if they are close enough to him.

Zeus has a electro-magnetic movement system that allows him to hover instead of walk, this provides extra movment, considering he is such a slow walker. His movement is a lot more streamline, and he doesnt have to worry much about terrain. This puts a little bit off his armor weight.

Armor Type - Medium

Synchro Rate - 77%

Special Ability - CLASSIFIED SYSTEMS (error code X450F)

I changed back to ZEUS, because I believe that @Ariamis is right.
I hope this helps.

Ah yes, the "lack of interaction" slippery slope. Raw ignorance of how to properly conduct yourself makes it harder to learn how to properly conduct yourself, and the frustrations from that might make you actually angry.

@LHG100

This is a problem most "anti-social" teens face, and while not getting angry, I can relate to a lot of his problems.

So, are we just waiting for Redbaron to post and we'll be able to move on to the next event?

EDIT: Really like Pox's character, someone very selfless. Another person to add to the list of those Yeshua needs to shout at.

[Ariamis]

@Cassowarysaur
Currently it's a free posting period so you can post as much as you like, at least for the next post where I'll post the collab and a followup to Recon's post. After that it's most likely a time skip, but there still haven't been any opinions as to whether that should be its own individual post or whether it should be accompanied by the next major event.

---

Eh, decided to post it now. If redbaron had something for Lorenzo he stayed to talk with Krista before going to his office.

@Pox
That's an unusual number of commas, making the text look, I don't know, fractured. Other than that, the pilot section's fine. I don't mind the weapon extension, but I'll throw it in here that it can at most extend to half the weapon's length. The Armor section's wording is a bit wonky, so I'll take it as having the same armor type as Roxy. The name of the Framewerk and it's weapons irks me; specifically, "Palladin". I constantly read it as Paladin, and I think there's no reason it can't be named that.

Also, add this to the sheet:

Synchro Rate: 77%

[Lmpkio]

@Ariamis I may come back another time, just now is not that time. But yeah, hope to see you in future RPs in the mean time. Peace.

[Cassowarysaur]

ANOTHER COLLAB! It was so fun the last time, now we've really hit gold. Yeshua and Koehler are such an interesting duo, the stuff actually cut into me a little bit. This is the single greatest RP I've ever participated in, and that's the sincere truth.

[LHG100]

Yeah, me too. Koehler and Yeshua is some of the most fun I've ever had in a roleplay. I'm both honestly sad and really happy, sad about the events, yet happy how it's been going so well.

[Ariamis]

It's like the unstoppable force meets the immovable object; pure gold happens.

[LHG100]

I KNOW RIGHT. Jesus christ, Koehler and Yeshua would make a great fucking buddy cops RP series too, wouldn't they? THEY'RE SO PERFECT OHMYGOD EEE

Edit: ONE'S a recovering drug addict who loves the thrill of the fight, but is still surprisingly friendly and affable. ONE's a haughty, quasi-religious nut who's probably more comfortable with holy scripture then other people, and always comes off as an asshole.

TOGETHER, THEY FIGHT ALIENS.

Edit: WITH GIANT ROBOTS!

[Cassowarysaur]

After the RP finishes and we save the world, I definitely want a spin off set in a ruined slum where Yeshua and Harold run a coffee shop and have to put up with Lorenzo, the landlord, constantly bothering them about taxes.

[LHG100]

Jesus CHRIST.

That'd be fucking wonderous. Let's do that. The other players would all be various customers and shit. 10/10 would rp

[Cassowarysaur]

Uhm, @LHG100, we do need to kill the Cruxi first.

Nah, we'll leave that to the Power Rangers or whatever. Will Smith in a jet.

[LHG100]

Yeah, totes. (hahahahah)

I think it should be it's own individual post. LHG and I would like to have more interesting interactions.

[Ariamis]

All right.
