Ah, I see the bots are back again with their nonsense posting.

Got my new sci-fi mecha RP up. Put a lot of work into the background of this one, and wrote out a whole setting

Cambozola is definitely A-Tier. It combines all the best parts of Brie with Blue Cheese, what's not to like.

Guess the mecha RP idea wasn't as popular or as interesting as I hoped it might be. Not much in the way of bites on that one so far, sadly

Bio
I've been roleplaying in one form or another since the late '90's. I've played as many tabletop games as I have online ones, and the quality of both has varied wildly.
I have an active imagination, and I love immersive, descriptive roleplaying. My genres of choice are sci-fi, and modern-day (with a sci-fi twist). I like RP's that mix reality with fiction, and throw an unusual and exciting twist into an otherwise normal setting - something like Stargate SG-1 would be an example, or Battle: Los Angeles. An almost recognizable world, but with some sci-fi twists.
I'm a fan of military and action-based RP's that do this especially, and they are easily my favourite - though I rarely see any that appeal to me enough - all the military RP's are too 'plain', and anything else modern day is usually fantasy or fandom.
I have a lot of fandoms, but I don't really like fandom RP's - or at least, the ones that come up. I often find them a bit lacking in ideas, or too far away from what actually makes the thing I'm a fan of enjoyable.
I don't play in free, as I find the short posts and bad spelling and grammar infuriating.
I'm 43 years old, and live in the UK, so I may not be on all the time.
I also like playing non-human characters, especially anthro ones. I dig giant robots, and I love military aircraft. I'm also a very dedicated and proud Brony and furry.

He sounds perfectly fine to me - feel free to put him into the characters tab :)
Thanks for the compliments Blade. Don't worry it's not dependent at all and requires no prior knowledge on Hunger Games. Just more the aspect of how entertainment at the expense of others and its morality. Also the sharp divide between the classes of anthros. Something along those lines.
That being said now I may be spending more time focusing on your RP xP
I figured it wasn't especially dependent on knowing those things; I get the jist of it, and as I said - it's a pretty familiar plot, and a good one to go to for all sorts of reasons. It has a lot of potential to be good! All sorts of ways to take it, and different character motivations to get from it too.
And haha, you flatter me xD I'd still like to see your RP too - it's different in execution from mine, and I'm sure a lot of these good people might not be as interested in my idea, and would like their own anthro RP to play in too.
I watched the show when it first aired and was pretty into it, and then caught it again on reruns on the Disney Channel, in order, and in full - that got me way more into it, especially with the Internet helping. It's been on my radar since then, as an example of excellent storytelling in a show, and one that didn't dumb down it's content because it was animation.
I re-watched it a couple of years ago with my now-fiance and it still stood up excellently.
I am kind of familiar with the extended canon ideas - things like the unmade spinoffs, and the ideas Greg Weisman had for where the show might have gone if it had continued - and I read a few of the comics too (before they were also cancelled >.<), and I've even read a little fanfic here and there.

Sounds good to me, I'm excited to have you back in the gang :D
@Silverwind Blade
I think I am done?
Yeah, I Ryan is good to go. Couple of minor formatting and spelling errors, but you can correct those putting him into the characters tab. I'll add him to the roster once he's in there too. He'll get a starting rank of Lieutenant as well.
My own character is up in the character tab as well.
Hope we get a few more people - slightly worried about how quiet things are D: I thought there might be a bit more interest.
Name: Diane Trenton
Callsign: Trench
Age: 35
Species: Bovine
Appearance:
(plz ignore name and text. All credit to artist on FurAffinity. Warning for no clothes, but nothing shown)
Has a faded, crescent-shaped scar running from just above her left hip in an arc down to below her navel.
When not in uniform, wears practical yet stylish clothing; jeans, sneakers or boots, checked shirts, T-shirts and such.
She is 6' 8" tall, and surprisingly strong for her build.
Bio:
Diane - or Di, to her friends - is a lively, outgoing and friendly sort. She cares greatly for others, and is an honorable, trusting, and loyal person. She has a strong set of morals and rules she follows both in and out of combat, and strives to do well by others and expects the same in return. She gives other the benefit of the doubt and trust, but will be relentless and devastating if crossed, and to those she sees abusing their own positions of power and responsibility, or preying on the helpless and innocent.
Despite this caring and compassionate nature, she is not naive nor ignorant; she is firmly aware that hard choices have to be made, and something circumstances and life do not allow the best outcomes every time, and the best must be made of a situation - even if you have to do awful things to help others.
Knowing these choices come up, and the hardships that she and her pilots must face (especially with her own personal life and history as part of the equation), she tries to do the best to care for and look after her people, lending somewhat to her reputation as 'team mom'.
Despite her large size and build, she is nonetheless physically fit, strong, and more than able to do her job to the exceptional degree she does.
She has a confident, and occasionally cocky, forward approach with most people and can be quite flirty on occasion. She has an outgoing, cheerful and even occasionally brash personality, and loves to socialize, especially drinking, and eating out with her friends and comrades. She can be the life and soul of a party, and loves to throw a party as much as going to one. However, this outgoing and boisterous personality hides her doubts, worries and fears and some of the painful memories of her past. She is a good listener and loves to support others, but will often be somewhat reluctant and hesitant with revealing details about her own past and background.
She keeps in regular contact with her parents, who are very proactive, supportive and encouraging of her career, and like to stay involved in her life... for better or worse. She loves them, but sometimes feels they are a bit... much.
Service Record:
Diane enlisted into DefCom out of college. She graduated with high marks, and entered the GEAR pilots' program immediately. She struggled with some aspects, and chafed against discipline. Struggling, she eventually found her place and role, and proved herself to be a model pilot.
She received recognition and was awarded medals for valour and conspicuous gallantry for putting herself into the line of fire to save civilians trapped in a hostile area during a border skirmish, and rescuing fallen comrades.
Following this, she was promoted and worked extensively with an air assault unit, and as a forward combat controller, and served with DefCom's Special Forces for a four-year period.
Opting for further flight training and moving more into the area of testing and evaluation, she was transferred to the classified 'Nightwerx' R&D Facility in the Nightshade Mountains, where she assisted in the development of the V-GEAR's combat tactics, and the organization of the SOCT units, as well as several exchange duties with front-line fighter units. She also underwent additional training in aerospace operations.
As the first VG-0 and SOCT units came into service, she applied for a lead position in a combat unit, and received the post as head of the Black Knights, a role she is proud to have, but harbors some anxiety about.
V-GEAR assignment: VG-0S
V-GEAR Distinguishing features: Two-tone dark/light grey colour scheme with black vertical tails. Helmet has a checkered red-and-black pattern on the peak.

I have added the game rules to the OP, as I forgot to add them in the first place - but, to my credit, I did put the OOC up before I left for work in the morning, so I'm impressed it's as together as it was. I've also added the 18+ tag to the game, explanation for why is in the game rules section.
@VyperPunk Linden looks great so far, I like how he's shaping up. I think he'll be a good fit!
@Caliban22 Ryan is great too, I like that he's married and has a family, that's a different and interesting dynamic to explore. I also love the art too. He's definitely looking great too.
I'm putting up some info on the characters tab on important NPC's from the ships' crew, and also my own character too.

The OOC is now up, and accepting entries for characters. I will get my own character up once I get back from work this evening.
