[OOC] Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

[Evil Snowman]

Hey @Ariamis I just realized with Goy gone what are you going to do about Squad Sigma's officers? Pick new ones all together or keep Katya and pick one other.

[Ariamis]

@Evil Snowman
Well Goy's character will fall in battle, so there will be a field promotion done. I thought about nudging Katya to the top and promoting someone else like Ariin or Zim as J.O.

[Ammokkx]

@Ariamis Well. We've currently got the problem of only having Serah, Sigma or Roger making sense for a promotion since they're stationed at Troas and the rest is at Joppa. And I can give plenty of arguments on why all three of those are terrible options(to make a long story short: Serah and Sigma are too young and immature and Roger is too reckless). So him leaving is kind of devastating.

And the only other option for a field promotion would be a new guy. And we all know that would end awfully too.

_{i know atomic can bullshit sigma to be mature when needed but i really don't like that because it breaks character in my eyes meeeeep}

@Ammokkx
If I wanted to give Sigma J.O or even officer rank I would have done so from the beginning, so you have no need to worry about that.
One option would be to retcon the arrangement of the teams to be more suitable to the current situation, particularly the ones who only posted landing at colony X and not doing much interaction. Another would be to promote Roger regardless of his unreliability (because sometimes field promotions have to be done regardless of suitability, and there's been plenty of documented instances of this in history.) A third option would be to promote Ariin or Zim, and the new trio would be a squad with their own officer of their own who would integrate Serah's squad under higher orders.

@Ariamis

Or we dont promote anyone and try to survive in the clustefuck.

[Ariamis]

@AtomicNut
That's also an option, though I want the new pilots to be involved beyond "Oh this place isn't getting attacked, go help out the big colonies". Clusterfuck time here we go.

@AtomicNut

I'm in favor of this idea.

[Ariamis]

@Ammokkx
On a second thought (and after conversing with AtomicNut), I'm also favoring this idea. Looks like the kiddy team will have to survive on their own.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Ammokkx well shit. Thanks for doing that though!

@Ariamis Question; Where will Lockon and I appear in this?

[Ariamis]

@Jasonhero
As a separate unit sent to protect one of the lesser colonies. Then as the first casualties on the main squads happen you get orders to back them up.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Ariamis I presume this will be in your next GM post?

[Ariamis]

@Jasonhero
Yes.

[l0ck0n]

@l0ck0n It's about time homie >.>

@Jasonhero

<_< Ikr

@Ariamis : Thank you! I'll go put my character in the CS section. I'll also read up on the IC, and wait for you to post to post myself.

[XxLyraxX]

@Ariamis
I have a question. Do the Cadets all wear a generic space suit whilst inside their mecha or can we include a custom suit in our cs?

[Ariamis]

@XxLyraxX
All pilots in Squad Sigma wear a Solaire plugsuit that not only synchronizes the pilot with their respective Framewerk, but also adds concussion protection, emergency life support and micro-jets for the boots for quick travel. However, since your character comes from a military installation in a different planet, the design may be different to a reasonable degree. It depends on if the appearance will be a picture with mentioned custom suit or a written description.

[Evil Snowman]

@Ariamis Okay, well I say now if you go that way I'm happy with that.

[Mr Rage]

@XxLyraxX So, to get started, unless I missed it somewhere, what kind of Mech do you want? and Who is your character?

[XxLyraxX]

@Mr Rage
Lockon is helping me with it now ^^
