Ah, so the very diplomatic method.

Anzu is more based on the Mythological Creature, hence the flames.

What kind of thought went behind Roxy and her (?) massive forked weapon? Does that connect with your character somehow?

You think Yeshua's manipulative? You won't be thinking much when he lets a MAC charged slug enter through your face gives you a warm hug.

The room they entered was large and mostly empty like a lonely ghost town in the wild west. It was quite a similar expression, now that Yeshua thought about it, as everyone here was alone in some way or another. Everyone had lost someone or felt compelled to put their life on the line. Simply stepping their foot in this facility was almost a death sentence, but to be strongly admired. The voices of his fellows ringed like bells in a church, holy but not without sin. He took in the surroundings and the mood, allowing the smoke to be planted and the mirrors to be set up. If he was going to gain these people's trust - who all seemed to be on the edge as it was - Yeshua would have to come off as a nice, considerate person.

The young man cursed under his breath before letting his lips shuffle and get ready to speak.

It was only after he let out a smaller breath that discussion began, as per the norm. It always felt like people managed to slip in their comments just before he could. If Yeshua was going to survive and work as a unit, he needed to be faster, more confident and agreeable. As everyone else continued to converse, a pattern emerged. This was going to be about their purpose, it seemed. A great topic to begin, the boy thought.

"If we're going to survive and succeed," Yeshua moved his hands to create a clear message. Reading so many books about public speaking was coming in handy. Of course, it felt forced, but it was better than stuffing them in his pockets as some of his peers did. "then we need to agree as much. We can come to the same conclusion, right?" His arms opened and he gestured to everyone at the table, welcoming them into his statement. "I won't pretend I know who any of you are, where you've come from, or what you have gone through, but I can guarantee we all share the same urge to save the human race. All of our differences are minimal. Let's focus on what we have in common."

He took a large, deep and silent breath. Hopefully he had hooked everyone in. If not, he may have failed his only chance at earning these people's trust. The most integral part of his relationship with his squad mates just passed. Yeshua sunk back into his chair.

"My name is . . . Yeshua. From New Eilat. I wear contacts. That should be enough."

Why did I have to change my name? thought Yeshua, previously Joseph. Maybe if I wasn't such a stick in the mud, I wouldn't look like one.

I'm currently watching Neon Genesis Evangelion for inspiration. The Mecha genre is something I'm fond of. Time to start posting in the IC!

This RP is certainly getting traction very quickly. How many people before we begin?

Name: Yeshua Horowitz
Appearance:

Yeshua

Age: 15
Personality: Yeshua is far from outgoing in his nature. He is not quiet and quite parsimonious with his beliefs, almost to the point beyond reason. He values and observes a much bigger picture than some people realise, often letting him feel detached or pity those who he spends time with. He is quick to judge and often feels no guilt, but takes a keen responsibility for other people's problems, that can lead him to be viewed as either extremely polite or extremely irresponsible. The boy has many opinions which he isn't afraid of sharing, and if Yeshua feels he has been treated unjustly, will not stand for it.
Motive to live: To change his inert feeling that humanity cannot be more than just mindless apes.

Background:

Yeshua (born Joshua) was the child of Otto Horowitz, a mildly famous biologist working in the most prestigious parts of the most rich system. His mother was never mentioned to him and without someone to care for him in the home, he often spent his time alone or on the wild webs of the internet. In his father's absence, the boy grew up without influences and soon grew suspicious of him. At the age of 11, he felt the repercussions of the war when his father kept coming home from work less frequently and even more tired. He was pushed to the edge, and Joshua felt it. Taken away from his father, the boy lived in the countryside of the harsh mountains with his grandmother. Away from society, the boy could read and write, and so he did for as long as he could.

His grandmother was fond of him but held back by her principles. When he wanted to leave her and find his father, no help was given. Joshua knew he could not leave in such an isolated area and did not want to live his entire life as a farmer, as his grandmother was. He grew skeptical. He could see the convoys of military transports passing through the mountains, knowing times grew more desperate every hour. His grandmother, parent to not his father, but his mother, gave him the King James Bible and with it, in his adolescence, he studied with as much determination his father had. The wild swathes of books that had been laid out for him was not simply a mere collection by his elder; it was a gift from his father. How else could he teach Joshua the wonders of the universe?

In the middle of the night he sneaked out, only 14. The cold of the mountainside was nothing to him, as he was determined to find his father and ask him all the questions had developed in his mind. Making his way to the small village of Ungarbt, Joshua realised that he was so lost. Trying to solve these problems by himself was too difficult for him, so he went to the local police station. This is when the news struck him; his grandmother had died of a heart attack after realising he was gone.

Without any relatives and still no idea where his father was, he was sent to the one of the further-out planets, near the brewing battlefront against the Cruxi. This family was a branch of modern Judaism (they called themselves Torahts) and he learnt so much from them. It was amazing to see things from a different point of view in a different planet. His questions became more fruitful but in turn his family became to spite him, with his constant criticism that undermined their faith. In the evacuation of the planet after it was attacked, Joshua lost contact with his family in the chaos, panicking and afraid.

Hiding in a hospital building, the Cruxi drew closer. A Framework of extreme calibre attacked and saved him from the aliens, allowing him to escape onto a shuttle. This change of heart (and name), and later learning his foster family was nowhere to be seen, drove him to apply to the Framework programme. Maybe this time he could find the answers he seaked; what it meant to be human, alive and breathing.

Notable Deaths: He fears his father is dead, as long as his grandmother, his foster family and his mother.
Other things: His eyesight requires eyesight but he is clearly against it, as he thinks he can survive without the need of degrading technology. He wears contacts.

Framework

Framewerk Code Name: Anzû
Appearance:

Signature Weapon System: A large, high accuracy rifle that can shoot rather quickly, deal heavy amounts of damage but takes a long time to reload and has to be inserted manually. It energises its large, alloy slugs in a MAC chamber before firing them, piercing almost anything.


Secondary Weapon System: Two powerful flamethrowers are on each hand.
Armor Type: The frame is rather light but has some powerful armoured plates at the front protecting its limbs; on the back and at its joints it is rather exposed, while the actual plates are a shining white and covered in a protecting layer of synthesized plastic.
Special Ability: TBA

Synch Rate: 91%

I added a bigger image of Anzu, it should work this time.

Star Wars: Return of The Republic

Quite interested. Maybe some more plot details?

Sorry about my inability to put together a functioning CS; it's been a while and I'd like to get back into the whole RPing thing.
