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

[VKAllen]

How giant of mechs are we here?

@Eisenhorn Good to meet you again...

[Eisenhorn]

@VKAllen Hello again VK, I do hope things are going well for you.

[Ariamis]

@VKAllen
This and this should give a good indication. However, for me to accept a sheet it requires the pilot to be female. If you make a sheet you will be the last person I'll accept in this before I stop taking more.

This and this should give a good indication. However, this RP has already reached the limit of people that can join in it, so sorry. You can queue up for later if someone drops out, though.

@Ariamis

Thanks for the heads up, so I'll queue up for first reserves.

@Eisenhorn Things have been well. Job's going alright and I'm still loving it from the last time I saw you with... "Yandere Man" @TheWindel.

[Eisenhorn]

There, got my post up.

@VKAllen Good to hear, good to hear. And yandere man is quite the way to put it, sure as sure.

[Penultimate_Pi]

I think before our first fight begins, I'm going to take a bit of time to flesh out and refurbish how Caliburn's weapon system operates a bit. There should be no major conceptual changes, just more descriptive detail for a better idea of how it works.

Pilot Sheet

Pilot Sheet

• Name: Gale Wills
• Appearance:
  
• Age: 18
• Personality:
  Gale is passionate and driven by her desire to become like the man who united humanity. She is level-headed and respectful to those around her-- while opposite reactions can repulse her greatly.
• Motive to live:
  "It is only right to protect the very things that make you who you are. Mankind may not be perfect; but I've seen our unity. That unity will be the unbreakable force to breakthrough an impenetrable wall."
• Background:
  Good people do not belong in this world. Good people belong in a place far far away from the reality that us 'bad' people live in.
  
  Nonsense you say...? Let's take a look at history. Many good men rose from the lowest depths of the working class trying to bring equality on Earth. To bring Unity and peace with pacifism and pure-hearted intentions. They are trampled-- assassinated by external forces in who are anonymous. Men who rub shoulders with the upper classmen. They believe what the true good men offer was the cancer of mankind's existence. The brain tumour that would lead us into oblivion if we followed in their footsteps.
  
  They might just be right. Perhaps the peaceful footsteps those good men idealise upon would weaken us as a whole. All things coexist together. Love, war. Freedom, slavery. Life, death. Chaos, order. Weakness, strength. If these things do not exist-- it is simply not natural.
  
  How does that relate to me? Well... I'm one of the people who witnessed the aftermath of a single man willing to act himself to unite the world. I was inspired and awestruck. I want to be that man. Powerful, pragmatic and passionate of his ideals. Being that man means that I'd have to train myself to be mature and understand the perspective of this man and his motives.
  
  Saturn was my hometown. There I grew up as a scholar and student in a highly regarded education center. Life in theory was full of doubts, optimism and shame.
  
  I'd say that you'd be right. I was a nerd. What you thought happened to me during the early years of being a nerd did happen to me. It was a molding process, you see. Being a nerd also meant that I enjoyed the harvesting of information. I came across a documentary in the digital world-- an article and recount of the man that reunited Humanity. It looked feistily interesting in my eyes to read about the world-- whom in my eyes is clearly divided-- was united by a single man's actions.
  
  His methods... Were described as ruthless, dirty, bloody-- inhuman. It didn't seem as though the authors were pleased with the man's actions from their choice of words. Their recounted events of the man intrigued me the most. They described him as a villain rather than a hero. A funny claim. A person's villain is another person's hero.
  
  I saw through the entire article and followed them. There I learned that the man clearly knew his purpose and intent. He had power that unshackled the chains of society that had kept the older humans divided and forcefully bashed them together into one and formed a beautiful world united in one. His repercussions were universal. It inspired me to become more than just ordinary. The ugly worm needed to become the beautiful butterfly. So I went and sought out to become more like the man. Think like the man.
  
  While I did these things... My family supported me. Perhaps the most that they've been ever since I took that step forward. They started to become more prevalent to me more than ever. I felt emotions that I never did towards them and I wanted to become closer.
  
  But with the sweetest of emotions came the most bitter. Right after my graduation... My parents have finally decided to send me to a different planet and start a new life there. They didn't hesitate. Neither did my tears... It wasn't clear to me why they wanted me out so easily... In the end, I found reason. Deep inside they feared that my potential wouldn't be able to thrive here in Saturn. The next week I was on a shuttle ready to move into where I am now. The road to become like the man stayed with me and I took part in Science and Martial Arts. Weird? I'm used to that by now.
  
  It wasn't long until a weird invitation came to my mail. Frameworks-- something that they'd like me to test and experiment upon. Why would they want me to test a framework? What are they building that made them come and seek me? And formostly, why me?
• Notable Deaths:
  The annihilation of her family bloodline.
• Other things: N/A. For now.

Framewerk Sheet

Framewerk Sheet

• Framewerk Code Name: Psyclops
• Appearance:
  
• Signature Weapon System:
  The Blast Fist Gauntlet(s) is a pair of toughened hunk of unknown metal alloys transformed to fully working hands with built-in pulse like cannon capable of firing blasts of kinetic energy from a short distance. The Blast Fist Gauntlet can withstand enormous amounts of force, allowing for continuous hand-to-hand combat. In fact, Gale prefers to bash her opponents with fists. The energy produced from these fists is immediately integrated into the cannon compartment-- charging the cannon as the Psyclops fights.
• Secondary Weapon System:
  The legs of the Psyclops is equipped with boost thrusters separate to the Space Thrusters that allows it to dash and jump on land. It also has an integrated HUD Interface to any mech-sized weapon-- Meaning it is capable of picking up a weapon and fire it with accuracy.
• Armor Type:
  The Psyclops is in the medium category of armours.
• Special Ability: NA as of GM's request.

Oh my god its super late! I gotta sleep now. I'll continue this tomorrow!

@Penultimate_Pi
I have no problems with that, go ahead.

@VKAllen
Sorry, but if you're determined to play as a dude then you're out of luck: this RP already has more than enough dudes.

@Ariamis

Hm, can't say I frequently see a GM that's adamant about the gender ratio. I can understand why it would be warranted, but in the context of this RP I'm not seeing much point to it. Ah well, maybe I don't get it because I'm a dumb male IRL, heh.

[Cassowarysaur]

I'm currently watching Neon Genesis Evangelion for inspiration. The Mecha genre is something I'm fond of. Time to start posting in the IC!

[LHG100]

OH SHIT WE STARTED.

AIEEEE

[LHG100]

Just posted, hope it's alright.

I already like Koehler myself.

Edit: A bit short, but I don't really know what else to put in. Sorry! >.>

[Cassowarysaur]

You think Yeshua's manipulative? You won't be thinking much when he lets a MAC charged slug enter through your face gives you a warm hug.

[LHG100]

Nah, he seems cool, I'm just like, "Well Koehler used to be in a gang and shit, so he's probably not very trusting, right?". Just making sure I'm not playing as a pure author avatar :P

[Cassowarysaur]

What kind of thought went behind Roxy and her (?) massive forked weapon? Does that connect with your character somehow?

[LHG100]

Forked? It's not forked, it's a big pilebunker basically. It connects because it augments his combat style: punching the shit out of things. Just punch the target, then activate it to stab the target AT THE SAME TIME.

[Cassowarysaur]

Ah, so the very diplomatic method.

Anzu is more based on the Mythological Creature, hence the flames.

[LHG100]

Well, 'Roxy' isn't really themed at all really. It isn't based on some ancient sumerian boxing god or a roman gladiator or a type of flower or anything, I just made something I thought would be cool. That's why it seems to be the weakest in the squad, I suppose!

[Cassowarysaur]

That moment when you post in the IC instead of the OOC . . .
@Ariamis, are we choosing our special ability and how powerful do you think they will be?
