[OOC] Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

[Mr Rage]

@Ariamis yes, I gathered that from the pen strokes from your numbers and letters. A few of them threw me off, but I recognized the rest. My childhood best friend is left handed, so I'm used to seeing it.

I appreciate the leniency on allowing me one turns worth of charge.

[Dragoknighte]

@Ariamis According to what you said, and assuming cruxi play by the same rules as we do (move two and still attack), this is the effective range for the two enemy snipers in Troas.

Snoipa

I... I think that there might be a slight unbalance in range here.

EDIT: Joppa isn't much better.

@Ammokkx

We're so fucked.

[Mr Rage]

Just to verify CWM, the triple triangle, does that indicate a single unit, or three units?

[Ariamis]

@Mr Rage
Three inverted triangles means a group of three CWMs. The number of triangles will drop with the number of mechs remaining in the unit.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Ariamis Too bad the intro is after they landed. Cause Jason totally would've spun up a railgun shot and popped the troop ship the moment it came in

[JessieTargaryen]

What kind of armor are we looking at on the War Machines? As I assume Intel about how thick their armor is would be known?

[Ariamis]

@Jasonhero
It's unknown.

[JessieTargaryen]

@Ariamis Ok... so we shoot the shit out them until they die!

[AtomicNut]

We can still do collabs, right?

[Ariamis]

@AtomicNut
Yes. Collab posts are encouraged.

[Ariamis]

@Jasonhero
Also, I'd like to specify that while medium armor absorbs a quick railgun charge, it does significantly damage it.

Flirty ☀ Cute ☀ Blunt ☀ Cheerful ☀ Holds Grudges ☀ Loyal

Flirty. If asked, anyone would describe Celeste as a huge flirt. If it's human and walks on two legs, she's going to try and flirt with it. Sometimes she flirts unintentionally by trying to just be friendly but most of the time it's completely intentional and always used to get her way.

Cute. Celeste likes cute things and is quite cute herself. At times she does not even realize she is being cute, but if she does, then she is liable to use it to her advantage.

Blunt. She can be rather blunt, not one to sugar-coat her words or actions. She tends to tell it like it is and if she hurts your feelings, she's not one to take her words back. That isn't to say she wouldn't comfort someone in distress but she will never treat someone like a child if they are not one. Babying she does not.

Cheerful. Celeste is a rather cheerful individual that is normally seen wearing a smile. With her sunny disposition, it's quite hard to feel sadness in her presence and if she notices you are sad, she will try her best to turn that frown upside down. Nothing ever seems to bring her down and even if it does, she would hide it with a smile.

Holds Grudges. Slight her, or do her wrong in any way, and she is not likely to forget it anytime soon. Celeste can be very stubborn in the fact that she can hold grudges for a ridiculous amount of time.

Loyal. Celeste is also very loyal to her friends and would do anything to keep them safe. She hates gossip of any kind and if she knows the source of said gossip, will take matters into her own hands to see it stopped. She also does not condone bullying of any kind and with stand up for that person even if she does not know them.

One thing that can be noted about Celeste is that she can be very scary when angered. Her face turns completely emotionless and the air goes still around her like the very universe is holding it's breath. And just when you think she is about to smite you down, she turns very sweet and might even walk away; leaving you there wondering what happened. Then in a few days or even a few weeks, you might find you need something of her and she will bring up the event that made her mad in the first place and either deny to help or require a favor in return.

What people do not know and which she has only confessed to one person is that when Celeste was younger she was the complete opposite of what she is now. The flirtiness is all a front to protect herself. When she was young and gullible, boy after boy would use her for their amusement and then break her heart at the end of it all. This went on for several years until she withdrew herself behind walls. Now she protects herself by breaking the boys hearts and refusing to become attached to anyone that she could lose.

Celeste retains absolutely no memory before the age of six. Her very first memory is of opening her eyes and seeing the worried faces of her adopted mother and father hovering over her. She had been found wandering the streets, barefoot and filthy with a nasty gash on her head. They took her to the hospital where she was patched up. She didn't remember her name at all and there was no filed report of parents looking for their missing child. When no one stepped forward to claim her, Markus and Violet took her in and gave her a name. She had a brother five years older than her who adored her from the moment he laid eyes on her. Orion was always there for her, especially through the boy trouble she experienced when she got older. The twins were born and Celeste got to experience the joys of being an older sister to two rambunctious children. Life was going well until her parents jobs called them away to a neighboring planet where their ship was attacked by Cruxi. There were no survivors, thus leaving Orion and Celeste to take care of their younger siblings. Orion got a few jobs and when Celeste was old enough she was tested for Framewerk synchronization. After it was discovered she help a gift for that field, she was sent off for military training, vowing to avenge her parents deaths. Orion was slightly taken aback that she would leave him the sole care-taker of their younger siblings and angered that she would risk her life in that way.

SIGNATURE WEAPON SYSTEMS

MR- 88J "Heaven Piercer" Multi-Purpose Weapons System

The weapon starts as a 152 foot sniper rifle that fires electrified bullets. (Kinetic with Energy Coating). The weapon's shots are known to pierce through light and medium armored units with no problem. The weapon itself has no scope, as the targeting suite is located within the Frame itself. Meaning that the pilot will be able to zoom in and target from within the cockpit. When meele is needed, the weapon will then fold back to reveal a spearhead and be used as a spear. The weapon uses the electric charge from the previous bullets to charge the spear. Allowing for electric discharge on melee attacks.

SECONDARY WEAPONS SYSTEMS

B- 999Y "Star Blaster" Booster Engine

The B-999Y Booster Engine is mounted on the Frame's back and is a trans-atmospheric booster. When deployed by the pilot, a long needle-like point will extend to provide extra maneuverability in atmosphere. Its sole purpose is to accelerate the frame to extreme speeds in order to cover distance quickly. Thrust is only in one vector at a time.

@XxLyraxX

Ok just finished catching up on things somewhat. First off, welcome back Gate Keeper ^_^. So that just leaves SillyGoy with Harold. I PMed both him and Gate just to be sure we didn't lose them.

Then there was a third new Rper with us so yeah, like I did with Lockon and Jasonhero, welcome aboard Lyra ^_^

[Mr Rage]

Ok. so, maybe I am stupid and going in on a suicide run, but my theory on how to attack the mist is to use indirect attacks. It knows when it is targeted, somehow. We also know that physical attacks do no good, but energy does, so we need to use lasers and explosions to bombard the mist without directly hitting it. My potential suicide in this being that I am going to charge up my wave surger for a medium ranged attack, so I have to be withing its firing ring, and I am going to strafe it with the laser. By not targeting it, I am hoping to not trigger it's auto fire. Alternately, Caretaker could send a few bots after it, as they are autonomous and wont be a loss of life to the team if they get destroyed, objectively speaking of course. So you might use them as a good ol' CRV drone rush, once everybody is out of range.

So, with the one charge previously permitted by our lovely GM, I have to charge two more times before I am ready to fire. I intended to move to G5, the landing zone, to attack the mist. However, @DarkRecon @Apollosarcher and @Evil Snowman, you are all within the Mist AOE. So I will delay attacking the mist until you are moved out of the way. As Paladin and Caretaker are dug in, I assume that I should leave you be to defend that position for a bit longer. If you can provide cover fire going after the three CWM in H3, I'll focus on the tentacle monster in I2. The sniper in F2 is also of concern, but if Zim goes after the tentacle monster, or the CWM then he will get flanked in a hurry. So my current objective as the board currently sits, as long as caretaker and paladin can provide some draw/cover fire, is to go after the tentacle monster, then circle around the outside and go after the sniper. I'll then join in the fray on the CWMs or re-assess priorities at that point.

Neo-Angel, my recommendation for you would be to go after the tentacle monster in H8, moving out of firing range of the Mist and clearing that corner of the board.

Just my observations and recommendations. I am at work, so I wont be able to make an IC post for a few hours, but I plan on waiting for a little bit to give everybody a chance to react to my proposed plan. Caretaker, if we all like it, call it out in the comm and take credit for it ;)

[Evil Snowman]

@Ariamis are you able to tell me or not. If the mist firing sequence require a charge up period? Or is it simply instant death to all living things dumb enough to get to close? I can't recall that being said or not. If so are you able to tell me can we detect it with werks senors.

Really should have taken better notes.

[JessieTargaryen]

If mist is still operational in Troas when I arrive, keep in mind that my railgun has HE (High Explosive) rounds that are meant to cover area, and count as energy attacks.

Also, since only like three people responded to Skype idea and more seem to be active now; I'd like to repropose we make a Skype group for this rp. Just to chat, get to know each other. Maybe discuss some matters in the rp.

I know I used a Skype chat to inform my Doom Squad that I'd have a post up and when it was up. As well as advise on some matters they'd know. But up to you guys.

[Mr Rage]

@Jasonhero honestly, for me it is something else for me to go check. I don't use it for anything else. So for me, it is a no for Skype.

[Gate Keeper]

@JasonheroI would go for it

[Evil Snowman]

@Jasonhero As I said I'd need to update my skype but I'd be down for it.

[Ammokkx]

Serah moves to A-5 and attacks A-3, Sigma attacks F-8 and moves to B-5

[Ariamis]

@Evil Snowman
In the briefing it was mentioned that Mist immediately responds to any direct attacks by activating with no cooldowns. However, @Mr Rage has the right idea on how to tackle it, so if all pilots work together you can take it down. Elora's HUD upgrade also informs when the weapon is activated.

Edit: 1000 OOC POSTS, HOLY SHIT. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.
