Hi all. Just having a rough weekend now on top of the last few weeks of my job -___-'

But yeah, while I haven't gotten around to writing up some trippy dream sequence for Mai, I have been working on a "substitute" character of sorts. I might as well show what I have. I don't have the framework ready yet but he, figure I should show what I have character wise then get criticism on it. Here:

Name: Jake "Six" Armstrong

Appearance:
Stands around 6'1".

Age: 18

Experience:
Synchronization Rate:

Personality: Most times, stoic and android-like persona. Other times though, he's easy to talk to, cheerful and sometimes talks in rhymes due to his hobby in music. Much like Mai is to her "Seven" persona, there are some who believe Jake and "Six" are perhaps two different people.

Motive to live: Unknown

Background: Much like Mai and the other "numbers", not alot is known of Jake. Though recent stories have come to light that the "Helldivers" Division was the name of the division both Jake, Mai and five others were apart of (the name also being after an internet console game from the past he also said). In it, they were trained to the extreme's and even told some of the awful "truths" about the war with the Cruxi. It's been said by Jake that the reason for it's disbanment was that the "big wigs", as he means "higher ups", were afraid that their commander and scientist, Caulder, was planning a civil war to overthrow the current ruling parties within the military. Jake admits that Caulder didn't approve of certain programs like the "clones" or "homonculus" being used to try to compete with the Cruxi's numbers simply because it wasn't producing quality pilots. But he never would be so foolish to start something that would "screw humanity over".

Then, things changed when Caulder discovered and started implimenting the Telekeneic System for his division.

Supposedly, that was the real reason why Caulder was forced into hiding and his division disbanded according to Jake. It was also from here that Jake "bounced" around from division to division. With no one trusting him nor even giving him the chance, he simply went along with the storm and got thrown around in it for sometime.

Then, he got word on Mai's division and her condition that she was in a coma.

That's when both Jake and his framework suddenly went M.I.A. though it's said that he went straight to where ever Mai was...

Notable Deaths: Unknown

Other things: Much like Mai, Jake also has his own mysteries but perhaps high ranking officials already know his story much like they do Mai's. And perhaps similar to Mai, Jake seems to have two opposite personalities that makes some wonder if he has a split personality disorder of sorts. Where it seems Mai's two persona's, if they are two, are smiliar, Jake's stoic drone to music buff tends to catch most off guard.

As stated, Jake's hobbies include music, video games, reading and mechanic's due to him learning to maintain his own framework.
Considering Mai's condition, collab is out of the question for me. Still debating that second "number" character thing I metioned before.

I also lost track of Mai's Sync rate in all that chaos -___-'...think she's down to around 40% or so...
...wow...I'm amazed Mai is even still alive after all the pain and trauma she had to endure through her framework.

But "coma"...I don't think Mai's going to be waking up anytime soon sadly...I thought about making another "number" character because of this unless you want Mai to wake up after everything's said and done.
Still here...but even online, guess I'm just anti-social -___-'

I don't want to say anything considering it may make people bail on this but in general, we got competition. I saw another mecha RP or two of some sorts around the casual area. I think one is about "classes" and social structure and using mecha combat as a sport...eh I forget what it was called.
"...Katya...listen to me...I've listened in...caught a glimpse of the new Cruxi...that one...is an enemy ace", "Seven" voice said over the open comm link.

The Neo Angel seemed done after the rather reckless retreat but it was...sloppy...inefficient...but that didn't matter now. What matter was the new threat that showed up.

"...listen...I've been in battles before from my first division...but only I've heard stories from my first commander...he said there are powerful Cruxi that only show when a pilot either "evolves" or achieves perfect sync...some may even have telekenetic powers in a form that allows them to invade your mind...", "Seven" continued.

"...Ariin...I'm dead weight now...you-must-assist-Katya-NOW...save Elora...that Cruxi...is dangerous..."

With her peace said, "Seven" could do nothing now. Her leg was servered and that crash really messed up her motor functions...either that or her framework sync rate took a dive.

Perhaps she was simply accepting her fate...all she could do was perhaps get into a sitting position now and fend off attackers with her magnum pistols and even beam sabers but she doubted her survival rate. Plus, that new Cruxi...
...no...they told me to live...that I'm not broken...but I'm inefficient...I couldn't even control...these new "feelings" everyone radiates on me...

And she knew why too.

...because I was trained to "kill" such emotions...I was never trained to "control" them...but why do I need "feelings"?...why during a war?...why?...I don't...get it...

However, she did make up her mind on one thing...she was going to continue fighting.

Getting into a sitting position, Magnum pistol in one hand and beam saber in the other, she braced herself at H5 for anyone or anything that came after her looking for an easy kill.

She'd at least make sure they work for it.
Hey all. I may just make a general post, stating that Mai recognizes the new Cruxi as an "enemy ace" with perfect sync as taught to her from her first division. She may order Arin to assist Katya because of this, saying that she's "dead weight".

That's the general idea. Just sorry that i haven't converted it to post yet.
Still here.

Though Mai is now down and out...I don't see how much I can do other than get into a sitting position and defend her point.

Still, knowing her "training", she'd be cursing herself for not going for the suiside move because now, she's just a sitting duck.

Although some think she also has split personalities, she really doesn't. She just has problems balancing her human side with the "trained killer" side. Though split personalities would make for an interesting character addition.

...but I should also be honest with you all. Real life is taking it's toll on me in terms of my job lately. While I do read this, I don't usually have the energy to make post during weekdays. And considering Mai's situation, this maybe my last moments in the RP. I just feel bad considering how many others left for perhaps similar reasons.

I'll wait till others around Joppa post but I think "Seven" would think that now she's dead weight, it was time to pull the plug.
Checking in. Still alive. Sorry but I ain't exactly social alot in OOC's. I am watching the IC for updates though. Just that...been roughly 6 days or so since the last post.
Mai was down. Seemingly becoming emotinally unstable for the very first time in a LONG time.

If this were her first division, she'd be punished serverily for such unprofessional behavior. But Mai also knew it from the start.

This division...was changing her.

Anger. Sadness. Despair...worse, helpnessness.

"...damn it...damn it...damn it...I'm...broken...", Mai said, not realizing that she had said that on the open line.

As she tried to get up, she suddenly heard a booming voice.

"I won't let you hurt anyone!"


Mai then looked in the direction of Mist as it was already in the middle of it's attack. The screams of people...then...it just...suddenly shot into the air and just like that it was gone.

"...this is Neo Angel to Base. Sit Rep. Mist just...retreated from the battlefield into orbit...did...cadet Elora had something to do with that?", Mai said, actually sounding more confused than a drone as she also hoped that Lorenzo or Ritsu heard her and would give her a "logical" answer if that were even possible.

But with her cover of a building suddenly brought down, Mai didn't have the time to ponder what just happened. The Cruxi squad was still pursuing her and no doubt, the Cruxi Sniper was waiting for yet ANOTHER opportunity to hit her and perhaps put her down for good.

Then, she heard Katya speak on the comm link. Giving out orders, she then addressed her.

"Mai, for now this all I can do. Caretaker isn't operating properly ... I'm sorry. This will light you up like Christmas tree."


Understanding what Katya had planned, she responed, "Roger."

But now, she had another decision to make. She could try to go for broke with the self-detonation but none of her squad members wished for her to do so. Plus, with Mist gone, the numbers were more even. At least, for now anyways. But as things stand, engaging the Cruxi squad as is would get her killed. And just hearing Katya's orders, there was support being give from cadet Arin. If so, being anywhere near them would be inefficient.

So Mai made perhaps a reckless decision considering that Katya "marked" her with the node.

"Katya. This is Neo Angel. Attempting to regroup with you at H5. Stand by", "Seven" droned.

With no choice but to retreat, Mai proceeded to move north as much as possible. With her legs damaged and her wings damaged to the point of disabling her mini-thrusters, she relied on her main thruster unit to propel her north. She tried to keep low behind cover where possible. All that sniper needed, even at it's distance, was one good shot and Mai could suffer bad luck with her life ending.

And there was some part of her that said, "After that pitiful performance and loss of self-control, you deserve to die". But she shook it off as she focused on regrouping with Katya.

Note: Proceeding north to H5. Equipped: x2 Magum pistols (8/8), (7/8). Sync: 56%. Damaged legs, wings, mid section.
FINALLY posted. Sorry about that everyone.
