Fucking christ is this going to die before it's even started? I'm going to ask a few people I know if they'd be interested.

Actually, y'know, M127 and I have been thinking, perhaps this is more suited for an IRC RP then a forum-based one? I would like to test this, if everyone's okay with it.

Alright the plan:
For a few days we will test this through various means. We shall start the RP from the forums, yet in an IRC Chat I shall link, we'll actually be playing a completely unrelated team of similar people. We'll test combat, character interactions, and how entertaining it is in both environents.

At the end of the test (next wednesday maybe), I would wish for everyone to honestly state which they enjoyed better. If a conclusion can not be reached, we will default to Forum-based, with a possibility of testing again later on.

I'll go into a bit more details how it'll work. Both the 'Forum Test' and 'IRC Test' will happen over the same period of time. for the 'Forum Test', simply do what comes natural for a forum roleplay, and tell me how you enjoyed it when I say the test has ended. for the IRC test, I would like everyone who wishes to participate to come into this IRC channel: kiwiirc.com/client/irc.esper.net/ncquest . IF you have a dedicated IRC client, it's on Esper.net, and the channel is #ncquest. If you're going to participate, please be on friday/saturday at 2:00 P.M., Central time (UTC 06). It's totally fine if you're late. As well, while I would like for everyone to participate, it's not required.

Anyways, when all is said and done, next wednesday I'll ask what everyone enjoyed the most. Thank you all in advance for participating (or not, even)

Edit: Oh, the IRC Channel is 'validated', meaning that the admin of the channel (M127, since he made it for me. thx m127) has to 'validate' you every time you join. Alternatively, you can use /nickserv to register your desired nickname (if its' available) so that as long as you remember to use /nickserv, you will automatically be validated, and thus can post.

Edit 2: Some additional insight, the 'forum RP' will begin tomorrow as well as the IRC RP. AKA "HOLY FUCK IMMA MAKE THE IC POST"

And we already have our first collaborative post between m127 and myself!

It would never be necessary, but I'd honestly like it if we could do that decently often. Just makes the story read smoother, y'know? Not mandatory at all though.

@ADParis, aww, getting writers block? That's fine, even better that you actually said it and being honest. I really should make a little note somewhere on how NC's actually... y'know. work, huh?

Well anyway, the 'Codex' was updated some. I'll try to update it with more fluffy stuff every other day or so.

Man, where the hell is @Xenia anyway? They were so promising. What the hell? Is stuff happening or what?

I really hope they come back xD

Hey, may I please come clean?

I'm honestly getting second thoughts about starting this oh-so-quickly. I believe I need a few extra days to properly tweak the storyline(s) I have planned and re-create everything GM side. While it's been going wondrous (not even gonna lie), I think I put this all extremely haphazardly and didn't do enough research, that sort of thing. I'd highly prefer if everyone changed all of their IC and character posts to -awaiting restructuring- and such.

Thanks a ton.

I don't really see anything wrong with what was going on aside from a severe lack of NC information and the 'Codex' not being.. super useful. I'd start trying to think of what would actually be useful for pilots to know. "what's the cockpit like?" or "are there manual controls for testing purposes?" or "so how far is customization?" or things like that. More about the world in general would be nice as well. And I'm willing to help with it cause like for one, I'm technically sort of a co-GM (and as I understand GMing it's just like coming up with scenarios and actually making the world that goes with it) and two, I fucking love worldbuilding.

Starting too quickly is something I'm paranoid about with RPing, too. Cause your enthusiasm might muddle it up and end up making the rp worse in the end cause you didn't give it the structure and love it needed to not crumble as soon as it got started. Enthusiasm is good, just don't let it cloud your judgement.

edit: so I looked at your fucking tagline (under your username) and started laughing cause it kind of related to your post a little I just. omg

Talking to LGH and possibly entering this. Ill be drafting a character sheet soon and hopefully it'll be alright.

I like the idea, but gonna admit that my mech knowledge is pretty limited. Outside transformers and some gundam series I saw when I was about 10, I haven't really followed much in the robotic scene. I did watch Code Geass and Pacific Rim recently so hopefully that'll help. :)

Anyways, I'll see how I go. Ain't gonna ditch an RP mid run (only did that once due to GM troubles and difference in views)

Madison Cole (Madi)



Appearance:
Madi has a young appearance considering she's in her early 20's with an appreciation for heavy, hard wearing clothing, the type that a factory worker would wear. She wears a large pair of boots that make a thumping sound when she walks, whether it's due to their size or if she's doing it on purpose is something that nobody really knows.

Personality:
Madi can come across as a fairly loud and an occasionally egotistical individual, often attempting to trying to outshine those around her in one way or another. Deep down though she has fair bit of trust in her comrades, but at the same time a lack of trust for people in general.

On the battlefield Madi can be found with loud music playing within the cockpit of her NC and during a fight she will sometimes go a bit overboard, becoming too enthusiastic and emptying her ammo reserves long before her comrades. This attitude towards combat is what earned her the Code-Name of Mad-e.

Background:
Madi was born above ground in a small community but was left abandoned when her entire settlement was wiped out. She was only a small girl at the time and was discovered by a small group from the colony of Smith's Rest as she wandered the empty wasteland, sad and alone. They decided to take her back and placed her under the care of an engineer known as Duncan Brown. There she grew up for the next 17 years and learnt how to operate and use the different types of machinery that Duncan worked on.

Tactical Preferences/Skills:
Madison likes to focus on Long and Mid-Range combat, using the long range abilities of her NC only as a means to get in closer for some serious action. Her crazed attitude towards fighting can often lead to her pushing her NC to near breaking point.


Mad-e



Body Plan
The Mad-e is a 50 tonne humanoid mech with a set of attachment ports on the back that can be fitted with a quad set of VTOL engines (As seen on this image). For the time being it is a ground unit as the flight engines are currently being worked on in order to take the weight and strains that the Mad-e endures.

Type/Quality
Mad-e is, for the most part, a mid-range assault NC. It's main role is to clear out as much of the enemy forces it can while staying out of the way of the short range attackers.

It has heavy armour plating that helps protect the unit but this mostly a collection of metal plating that has been found around the colony and welded to the NC. Due to this fact many of the sheets that cover important componentry have weak points, cracks and ingrained rust that cannot be seen easily until the unit is out on the battlefield and in the thick of it. Adding to that, and thanks mostly to Madison's recklessness, the Mad-e's weapons will occasionally overheat and jam, leaving her vulnerable to counter attacks.

Equipment
- A quad set of VTOL engines that allow long distance flight and when overcharged, will allow a quick back dodge. (Currently being worked on)
- A smoke launcher that will disperse a cloud of roughly 100m diameter around the NC.
- A night vision and IR camera to help assist during smoky and dark situations.
- The targeting system uses line of sight to locate and identify the enemy. Madi then has to select each target and aim at them manually in order to take them down. (This also means that she will have to rely on her comrades for spotting any ambush attacks)

Armaments
- The main cannon on the shoulder can fire mortar warheads that explode mid air and rain down with individual grenades. The reload time on this cannon isn't very quick and the NC only has the storage for a few warheads.
- The right arm is equipped with a rotary gatling gun
- The left arm is equipped with slug cannon that will fire heavier rounds. It is a much slower weapon but packs a lot of punch.

General Description/Notes:
Until the VTOL system is complete, the Mad-e needs to be airlifted by another NC or aerial units to it's desired location.


Duncan Brown


Appearance:
Duncan is a slender male in his mid to late 30s. He's often wearing ragged, torn clothes that are usually covered in grease and dirt.

Personality:
Duncan is a quiet man who is very reassuring and intelligent. He likes to view things from a far and will attempt to cool down any disagreements that happen around his vicinity. To add to this he is very caring, positive and easily approachable.

Background:
Duncan grew up in Smith's Rest and found a passion for engineering at a young age. He took to the toolbox like a duck to water and for over 25 years has been someone that can be relied on for repairing any of the equipment that has broken down in the area.

Back in his early 20's he was asked to take care of Madison and happily did so. He taught her a lot about the colony and what it meant to live within Smith's Rest. Nowadays he is her lead mechanic on her NC and is quite often repairing the machine that she so happily damages.

@NuttsnBolts

If I was the GM I'd sooo freaking accept those characters. Only problem I saw is that you referred to them as "MCs" instead of "NCs"

N. C. Not patronizing, I was only showing you. If I came off as patronizing, I'm sorry! :s

Percy and Duncan would get along I can just feel it.

@NuttsnBolts BLOODY CHRIST

That's fucking great! Aside from a few extremely minor spelling errors, (namely, you spelled MC, not NC. harhar), and you forgot the 'quality' in type/quality (Should be something like 'medium low'. After all, Smith's Rest may have good engineers, but y'know. They're not a military repair depot) that's extremely good. Approved right away.

I also like how I get this feeling she's going to develop a "I'M NOT A KID DAMMIT' complex over the story. That's good material right there.

Anyway, approved yo. Stick it in the characters tab.

Edit: lol got ninja'd by ADP on the 'NC' thing.
