[OOC] Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

[Mr Rage]

@DarkRecon meetingwords.com/8CTgr111mE a quick collab letting you know about what is happening with the information Elise gave Zim in that last post. Anybody else who is in on the investigation, or wants to get in on it, can certainly join in as well.

[DarkRecon]

Hey uh...I saw Mr. Rage's post but...I had Maria confronting Elise in the hangar...I thought Elise was in the hanger after Ritsu told her how bad her injuries were.

That and Jake had already submitted his report...ugh did anyone read what I posted or was it because I cut corners again *facepalm*

[Ariamis]

@DarkRecon
That talk happened in the past, and Elise will talk to Maria in my next post.

[DarkRecon]

Ariamis. Due to a recent collab post I did with Mr. Rage, I changed the post to Jake going to find Elise about the evidence since he gave it to Elise. Had to adjust since I didn't know Mr. Rage and you had planned this.

[DarkRecon]

...still here...wow...no postings in days...

[Ariamis]

@DarkRecon
There's been posts planned to be coming soon.

[ArkmageddonCat]

I'm sorry guys, but I'm going to formally resign. Didn't get much traction going and I'm just not feeling the drive for this any more.

Best of luck to the rest of you, I hope you see this thing through.

[Ariamis]

@ArkmageddonCat

That's unfortunate to hear. Don't worry, we will. Hopefully we'll see you in other RP's.

[DarkRecon]

Still here. Sorry all. Offline stuff holding me up. Let me know too if someone wishes for Maria or Jake to do something specific for a plot device or something.

[Mr Rage]

So, I'm bored, so I am making yet another Werk. This one is just for funsies, I guess, so I am going to go ahead and stack it all the way, full 100/100 + unlock, because, its for funsies. Lemme know what you think. Boss, if you like it, feel free to use it somewhere, somehow.

Framewerk Code Name: Ryoto (Two Swords)
Appearance:
Number of Framewerk Systems: 2/2
Signature Weapon System (Twin Thermal Katana):
1 - Sword Skill 1: A set of specialized sword skills that allow for greater battlefield maneuverability.
a - Dive Strike: Using additional thrust behind the sword strike it will carry the Werk one space in the direction of the strike, completely leaves the werk without the ability to defend itself. Strike cannot be blocked, but can be deflected, further pushing the space traveled in the deflected direction as well. Can be used to strike from one space away as well.
b - Spinning Jump Slash: A flashy jump in the air the turns into a spinning, whirling dervish. Can be used against groups of opponents, a single opponent that is known to be able to block the first strike, or as a defensive maneuver. A highly defensible move.
c - The Leaping Uppercut: A nearly unblockable attack where Ryoto squats low and leaps into the air striking from low to high, sending the werk traveling up into the air, where the thrusters are then fired sending it in a direction one space, there is the opportunity for a second (standard) downward slash if there is an opponent where he lands.
2 - Sword Skill 2: An additional set of specialized sword skills that allow for greater battlefield maneuverability.
d - Rolling Strike: The werk either strikes and dives into a somersault, or somersaults and comes out of it with a strike. Slower than the dive strike, but can be stopped to defend if needed. Still moves the werk one combat space.
e - Perfect Defense: A stance that allows the Werk to perfectly cancel out a single attack against it, but cannot be used with any movement that turn.
f - Flip Strike: The werk will flip through the air, usually around an opponent or other obstacle to strike at a foe with the blades out and ready to strike even in the spinning rotation. If the first blade is blocked, the second blade will have a greater chance of evading defenses. Strike moves the werk one combat space in the direction of the strike.
Secondary Weapon System:
1 - Deflect: Using the swords to catch and deflect attacks intended for Ryoto. With enough time to prepare the attacks and can reflected back at the attacker.
2 - Dragon's Roar: The face on the chest of the werk opens up and a shot-gun blast of laser beams shoots out for a short range attack.
Weight Class: Ultra-Light with strategic armor placement to protect vital points and joints.
Special Ability:
- Seven Heavenly Swords: Seven energy swords are drawn from the face on the chest and are controlled as if with magic. They do not need to be handled by the hands of the Werk but rather float around as needed to attack and defend within a short distance.

Also: Funfact: This Werk is controled using a body mimic system, where the pilot has to actually go through the movements physically in order to make the werk make the movement. This requires a special kind of plug suit, plus vocal controls.

[Ariamis]

Looks pretty dope. I like it.

[Mr Rage]

And for anyone curious, that is a customized Gundam Barbatos from Iron Blooded Orphans, which is in my opinion one of the best non-cannon Gundam Series. You can tell its Barbatos because of the high-heels. I'm not joking.

[DarkRecon]

First off, still here ^_^.

Second, that "gundam" reminds me of the musha gundams from the video games dynasty warriors gundam. One of the two weilded double katana's and the other a spear. There was also a Knight Gundam too that weilded a sword/shield setup too.

I thought about including them in a special side story that involved Maria's past with the Helldivers but I haven't gotten around to talking to Ariamis about it first. At some point though, I do wish for Maria's past to come...well "haunt" her at some point.

[Mr Rage]

Noice!

I watched the movie "Ready Player One" recently, and in it the Summon the original Gundam... And it was epic. However, I spent the next hour and a half talking to my wife and friend who joined us about which Gundam I would have summoned if I could have summoned any Gundam. My wife, nor the friend that were with us, care about Gundam at all. So, there was that. But when I was done, I still didn't have an answer, but I was down to like... five or so.

[DarkRecon]

Heh...ah mecha...

Oh yeah. I did want Maria's past involved at some point. Ariamis, if you want to group chat with Maria and Elora since she addressed her, let me know. Might as well move that foward with Jake is playing DJ XD

Finally an update ^_^

[Apollosarcher]

@DarkRecon I mean you saw the size of it? We wrote a lot it's why it took so long.

[Mr Rage]

Indeed. That being said, I suspect that Red and Drago have nothing to add during this downtime considering their general silence for the better part of 6 weeks here, so I think we are ready to continue on? At least, it seems that way to me.

[DarkRecon]

@DarkRecon I mean you saw the size of it? We wrote a lot it's why it took so long.

@Apollosarcher

I did see it. Just felt that it'd never be finished =p

But yeah, I'm ready to move on if we are ready?
