Bio
Do you really think we've only been here 300,000 years? Construction doesn't last that long; concrete disintegrates, tar pavement erodes into the Earth from whence it came. Sapiens or Neanderthalensis, countless brother races of a genus leaving only us to carry on the legacy. We cannot disappoint them. We carry them through our blood and our souls, countless lives spanning across time in a way that we can't perceive from our physical coils. But we can't disappoint them.
Hello, hi and hey! I call myself Atom. Some call me Fen. Others call me Ego, blessing the journey of guiding the individual toward the inevitable endgame that is rejoining the flow of life. I try to keep identity suppressed as much as possible, but I'm not a fool; we're here to express our creative selves. I like to think that our love and desire for creativity carries over far beyond the personal and individual. It's a part of the music of Humanity, and I do love the dance we do.
So, creatively, who is this dork trying to kill his own ego? What's he like? Is he decent?
I'd like to think so. I'd like to think I at least know how to write technically. I'm almost always lacking motivation, but I've just been spoiled over the years. I've had a handful of teachers who have really changed the way I look at creativity and working with the individuals who I'm trying to be creative with. My biggest goal is to give that back to the people who I work with. I want to foster an environment, or at least an expectation that if we're writing together, you'll be writing with a professional.
Professional to me means courtesy and friendliness without ambiguity: A guarantee that one can always expect to be treated with the same values that I would want to be treated with.
So what do I do with my free time? A whole lot of struggling with myself for the willpower and discipline to muster the ultimate muse. So far I've managed to get strong inclination toward effort and motion again, but inclination isn't guaranteed. We've really gotta MOVE THOSE MUSCLES! That's what I'm here for! I want to talk to people about ideas and flesh scenarios out with people that I'm interested in, and I do hope to find others with the same strong sense of creativity that I have. I want to push and pull and stretch the dough of creativity, top it with the things we want to devour, and dive into the pizza we've made together with skill and love!
Lets make it happen together!

@Lyla It's essentially your spirit. In context of the setting, the spiritual representation of the sword's past and legacy can be manifested however you'd like.
@Double@Lyla Do you guys have Discord to discuss things through? Or should I open another thread for an OOC that we can talk about things in?

That sounds great. Dont be too worried about the pictures; I find it just helps to set a scene. If there's something in particular you want to highlight and you happen to have a picture for it, then by all means.
I'm already starting to formulate a picture in my head of a character and mecha inspired by the legend of Saint George and the Dragon.
Deep rooted connections to Human legends are encouraged. Channel Arthur, Morrigan, fucking... Paul Bunyon, anything. Maybe a good way to describe these things is sort of like Persona. These machines are built on Human memory, the deep genetic stuff that's engrained into who we are as a species.
Thus, I requested people stick to relatively human characters. It needs to be plausible that, even if you're not an alien or Earthling, that there's a human somewhere in your lineage.
@AtomicEmperor This seems interesting.
What would the setting for this actually look like? The premise seems like a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, with the mechs and the magic and the cults, so does the setting lean more towards one or the other? It is futuristic, medieval or modern?
This is a good question as that's meant to be ambiguous. Overall, it leans more Science Fiction, as the majority of what you'll be seeing will be presented through that lens. Magic and fantasy elements are included I consider magic to simply be math we can't solve without a connection to divinity. Ultimately meaning a wizard on some backwater world has just as much opportunity to move from one planet to another as an individual who owns a FTL capable ship.
If I had things 100% my way, the coven would exist on a vessel that travels through the highlighted sector of space we'll be using as our sandbox. That said, I'm not opposed to having multiple groups based on what sort of choices people want to make as they join. If enough people want it more like fantasy knights in space, I can parallel that with a different group who maybe wanted to go for more hardline scifi. There's setting precedent for both.
@Lyla
PMs are totally acceptable, and if you (or anyone reading this) would be more comfortable either direcrly messaging me, or would be interested in a solo experience to avoid any sort of social anxieties, please feel free to approach at your leisure.
I don't bite, I'm herbivorous.
Do we get to have a gloriously cheesy transformation sequence for when we summon the mechs? Because I'm okay with that.
Several depending on how many transformations you want. Expect to have a full spectrum of control from body-suiting your mech to summoning scale sections of it like a Jojo stand.
@AtomicEmperor
One thing that's been appealing to me lately is classical chivalry. So in the context of this setting I find myself imagining a mashup of sorts between Arthurian Legend and the Knights of the Inner Sphere from Battletech. Sort of a Space-Paladin, I guess?
This is absolutely one of the original premises I had in mind when this setting was first created. You've hit the nail on the head pretty hard as far as "old lore" is concerned. I'd be happy to discuss that sort of thing at length on request.
@Letter Bee Noted! If you find yourself with enough free time, I can leave a spot open in case we start to fill up. Chances are with the other mecha roleplays out there, we're not going to be inundated with players anytime soon. If we are, I can just make split groups and juggle the setting.
@AtomicEmperor, Hmm, so we can define the Cult's beliefs, then?
I would say it could even be a possibility that you come from a place your fellow players may not, giving you all the chance to define your style and culture as part of a union of cults. But, yes at the very least we will be developing this idea as a group with the skeleton that I have on hand, as it were.
@Letter Bee @Double Interest check from previous thread!
