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

@Cassowarysaur
I'm open to suggestions as to what your Special Ability could be, but ultimately the decision is mine. I'm aiming for them to be really powerful, like a trump card, but they will only last 3 rounds of combat before overuse causes synchro to drop.

@Ariamis

I'm not really that well versed when it comes to round-based combat; could you elaborate as to what a "round" is?

[Ariamis]

@Cassowarysaur
A turn of posting; the stuff you do in a single post of combat.

[VKAllen]

@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

More than enough dudes... Bahahaha. Easy. I'll switch the genders around later.

Was thinking Macabre's could be some sort of Megaoverdrive type thing. Something that makes it even faster and dare I say... even more furious. But seriously, I'd prefer mine to be Macabre being put into some kinda hyperdrive.

Name: Mai "Seven" Twilight

Appearance:

Age: Classified (Though looks 17)

Personality: Most times, stoic and android-like persona. She rarely talks without sounding like a drone or she lacks emotions. Most likely due to how she was raised and trained. She does talk when addressed or if she deems it necessary to speak.

Motive to live: Unknown

Background: Mai's background is rather mysterious but is considered one of the best up and coming pilots in Earth's Frameworks Project. Much of Mai's background is either unknown or considered classified but the story that's going around about her is that she was one of several "numbers" children that were trained in the early stages of the Frameworks Project when some thought that human emotions were a hinderance against the Cruxi. As such, Mai's personality may have come from the perhaps extreme training but some rumors say that the children were pushed to such extreme's that it was deemed inhumaine even for military standards. Hence why that Frameworks division was disbanded and Mai was transfered to Framework Project XJ9 division.

The goal was to help Mai with synenergy and teamwork with other squads but due to her personality, has trouble doing so. Thus the reason for the transfer amonst other reasons just metioned. Whether anything about Mai "Seven" Twilight is true, though, is another matter.

Notable Deaths: Unknown

Other things: As stated, Mai was apart of a disbanded Frameworks division. What became of the other children is unknown but due to her perfect health and training, she was deemed worthy for Framework Project XJ9. But much is not known of her. Motive to live, Notable Deaths, Personal History and even her actual age is still either unknown or classified.

Hi all. Sorry it's taking me so long but this is what I have so far. Need to come up with a framework next. Due to the character, might be a SRW mech but not sure which one or in what direction to go with it in terms of weapons and such.

@Ariamis First reserve CS is ready now...

[redbaron1234]

This will be the first time I have participated in PvP like this. Can someone give me an idea on how this will be arbitrated?

[Ariamis]

@Elitestpotato
I'll keep your suggestion in mind.

@DarkRecon
Earth has been uninhabitable for a long time. If you're trying to circumvent the age restriction with the background I believe you are going with (coughReicough), then I'll note that she can look 16 at most. I'll assume you want to PM me about the notable death that is required for your character; otherwise I'll choose one for you. As for the Framewerk, I recommend checking out what others have come up with. My suggestion would be a Framewerk focused on field repairs.

@VKAllen
I'm going to assume you're describing a historic event with the mention of Earth. While I like seeing flavored text like the one in the background section, it doesn't include any background itself. You could describe the world she comes from, what she did there, if she was a victim of a Cruxi attack, the reason she applied for the Framewerk Project, that kind of stuff.
You will either have to remove the leg boosters or replace the shoulder cannons with kinetic weapons. The Armor Type section needs to mention if the armor is Light, Medium, Heavy, or something in-between. And considering the amount of firepower you described and the speed you are implying, it's going to be either Light-Medium or Medium depending on how you choose with my earlier demand; former if you choose booster removal, and the latter if you choose kinetic weapons.
EDIT: The age needs to be between 14-16.

@redbaron1234
I'm going to trust you guys to be fair with this. However, I will intervene if someone calls foul play, and if enough people request it, I can set up a posting order based on your sheets. Basically it's going to go like the RP; poster A does something, possibly targeting poster B, poster B reacts and does something, possibly attacking back or retreating, poster C can intervene and so on.

@knighthawk
The mock battle will only involve the Framewerk pilots facing off against each other.

[knighthawk]

Well isn't Romeo in for a bad surprise. Do we have dossiers on each others frames to plot against?

[Ariamis]

@knighthawk
Only names for the Frames and their pilots.

On that note, voice channels can be opened and closed between the pilots as wanted. Once a pilot has closed a voice channel with someone it can only be opened by the one who originally closed it, with the exception of the Command channel.

@Ariamis

Workin' to reconstruct!

[knighthawk]

So no one knows what the others frame looks like or its capabilities? Hearing the name "archer" I could easily assume it to actually fire 300 foot long arrows like a kinetic bombardment weapon?

[Ariamis]

@knighthawk
Since people have already mentioned how other's Frames have looked, everyone knows what everyone's Framewerks look like.

[Dolerman]

So we are teaming up for the mock battle?

[VKAllen]

@Ariamis, ready for second review.

[Penultimate_Pi]

@Ariamis
I don't mean to put you down at all, but I think Elora misunderstood what Lora was talking about (that it's not just combat that will determined the leader, and that she was only guessing that the combat was a test of their Synchro Rates); I don't know if that was intentional on your part. I'll work with whatever I'm given, but the way I was intending to go with this is turning out to be painting Lora in a different light than I expected...

[knighthawk]

Just like in real life, things not being taken the way they are meant.

[Penultimate_Pi]

I would suppose so. I just thought I was more clear in what Lora was saying. Ah, well, as they say, "Shit happens."

[Ariamis]

@VKAllen
Pilot's age needs to be between 14 and 16. But I gotta say, the field procurement is an interesting addition.

@Dynamo Frokane
The magical thing about roleplays is that there are no set paths for what one can do. Want to seek allies? Want to do it alone? Want to pick an unexpected third option? All possible choices.

@Penultimate_Pi
Elora was confused by Lora's words, being a young girl and all, and thought that when she talked about Synchro Rates she meant the ability to fight in combat. It also wasn't clear to her whether she agreed with Krista or not, so she took her dismissive attitude as disagreement to the idea of teamwork in general.
