Speaking of things I disagree with, I'm gonna have to agree that not giving Trapezoid input before shooting him down wasn't cool, especially since he actually posted the bio in the intcheck thread before, say, Lyzan or Big Slamm did in the OOC. And no, I'm not picking on anyone or saying that A or B should be in while C is out, but he did post his application before others and yet got nothing beyond a final "Nope".

I kinda have to agree. I personally liked his character. Your issue with the weapons is understandable, but he also put severe hindrances on them to make up for it. As for your issue with the nickname, I think the general idea was that he "lies in wait like a snake, and then vanishes into the desert like a ghost."

Buuuuuuuuut, as I said before, what the GM says goes, so... Sorry Trapezoid. Maybe you can join in later?

Edit: Am I the only one to notice the Hatfield–McCoy reference in his bio?

Dude, get the hell over it. We're here to have fun and write together, not throw bitchfits because we were asked to add one tiny thing to the CS. Either get the hell over it, or get the hell out. Personally, I'd throw your ass out if this were my RP simply because what the GM says goes, bar none.

Now, can we please continue on in a peaceful manner that somewhat resembles a group of people with a shared interest?

Can I ask what the contents of the first aid kit will be?

My Past Encounter is not nearly as creative as everyone else's but I just got overwhelmed with dumb shit on my end so it'll have to do. Black Plague, I referenced you, hope it's adequate.

Fine with me.

Steel Giants (Mecha Roleplay)

I'd be cool with that.

I am going to have to suggest that your AAA be Arms 2 if your hands are going to be used as a primary weapon.

I thought you might say that. fixededed

Jaufre

PILOT

Name
Jaufre Williams

Age
24

Height
5'11"

Weight
170lbs

Background
Mechanic, known to do mercenary work when he has debts to pay off.

Bio
Jaufre never had any problems. His parents traveled all over the world to repair CVFs, so he was never in one place long enough to make enemies despite his abrasive attitude. Given this, he never had to learn to watch his mouth around people bigger or tougher than him, so the first time that someone laid him out for it he was quite surprised. It didn't take him long to learn that he not only inherited his father's thick skull but his mother's knack for solving all sorts of problems, including those posed by men much larger than him and in a big metal robot.

Traveling with gifted mechanics for the majority one one's life, one picks up a few things. And indeed, Jaufre was almost always a part of his parent's work, watching and learning. He never received a formal education, but over the years he picked up a lot of useful - and a lot more useless - tidbits about the world. He learned how to put two and two together and come up with five if that's what he needed. He learned that people are worthless, and that the only things a man could trust in this world are himself and his CVF, the latter of which he aspired to.

After so long, his father began to rely on his help more and more until he began to do most of the repair work and his parents just slapped their names on it. Not long after, he decided it was time for him to venture out and make a name for himself. After a couple years on the road with not much to show for his time, he holed up with a gang that gave him work and introduced him to the fun of gambling. Oh how he learned to love it. Hated the debt, but loved the games. He always managed to pay off his debts, even if that meant signing onto a mercenary unit for a month or two when business was slow or clientele was hard to find. In fact it was in one of these games that he won the Stinger Frame. His life was never the same after that.

The merc missions he was contracted for grew in number as did the pay, and he liked that. It gave him money to invest in his abilities as a mechanic as well as spend on his gambling habit. Indeed, he became well known not only as a mechanic but as someone who wasn't afraid to jump right in if shit went bad. The perfect guy to hire if your CVF needed some tweaking in the middle of a firefight.

FRAME

Name
IS-13 STINGER MDL III Custom

Description


Weight Class
Arms: 2
Armor: 3
Agility: 10

Weapons Descriptions
For the rare instance where this Frame can't get up close and personal - and in some instances even though it can - it is equipped with a "large" caliber handgun loaded with hollowpoint rounds.

Additional Notes
The tips of this mech's fingers are extremely sharp, and oft used for tearing away at or impaling the important bits of enemy Frames. These CVF mechs are well known for tearing off bits of armour and giving their allies a shot, or even crippling enemy Frames in doing so.

Stinger models were originally meant to act as shock troopers, using their full-flight maneuverability and over-articulated frames to swing in, take out the target and then flit off before anything could touch them, but as time went on, production was halted in favor of heavily armed, tank-like mechs that could do damage to more enemies in a shorter amount of time. Very few escaped recycling efforts.

Past Encounter
In his early days piloting the Stinger Frame, Jaufre was contracted to work as the head mechanic on an expedition into the South American jungle to learn what remained of the natural fauna. It was quite the peaceful proposition, and given his recent and deep gambling debt he was eager to take the money that the founders of the journey had promised him.

Now, when you take a carrier ship, load it with mechs, stock it full of supplies and enough Ethus for a year-long trip, and you're just begging for someone to try and take it off your hands.

Only three days out of their destination, they were set upon by a wave of smaller ships carrying ground based mechs with AA artillery. The crew suited up and returned fire, but the pirates had bigger guns designed for wiping out heavy-aircraft and ground-based armour. The few Frames that were capable of reaching the assailants were ordered to "avoid incoming fire at all costs" which roughly translated into "do not engage."

Almost thirty minutes and many irreparable Frames later, the small group of jump-jet/flight capable frames got the green light to engage. As the remaining heavy mechs retreated to the middle of the carrier, out of the line of fire and prepared to refuel and resupply for another round, the flight-capables were bailing over the edge with the sole intention of taking advantage of the limited mobility of the assaulting Frames and knocking them into the water.

By the time that the pirates retreated in their much faster, more agile ships, over half of the crew that Jaufre was signed on were either dead or injured and the Ethus holding tanks inside the carrier had been breached and were spilling Ethus into the water. The ship eventually made land about 2000 miles north of their original destination, crippled and unable to finish the journey. The original financiers had decided to cancel the expedition in light of recent events, but that left the crew stranded with minimal resources and very little Ethus. It didn't take long for what remained of the fuel to disappear, along with Jaufre and several other former crew members.
