Flight of the Faceless (Flying Mecha and Fighter Jets)

Also, before I forget, the Faceless are very young, the process of making them a Faceless has to be done before the age of 20. That'll be a plot point later, but no spoilers!

@Shin okay cool, so we will pick one to pilot?

Cant wait till the CS starts!

@Dynamo Frokane

Precisely, it's the pilot's choice! It will factor into what roles they're given as well, so choose well! I'll be working on the CS' soon, but here's a note; in the old Faceless RP, which had a world which this RP's world is very roughly based on from memory, I made fictional countries but didn't really give them cultures, instead leaving it up to players who made characters from particular countries to create it. It sounds lazy when I say it like this, but it was really great getting that creative mix of countries from all sorts of people. If you plan on making a character, just know they can come from anywhere (even a country that once existed in Eura) and a lot of their country can definitely come from you.

I have a long day tomorrow, so the CS will either be ready in the next few hours if I take the plunge and stay awake OR tomorrow.

Flight of the Faceless (Flying Mecha and Fighter Jets)

This looks hot, will we be flying jets or mecha?

@Dynamo Frokane

Both! The Faceless, while being more than adequate for war against the aliens in the Lost Territories, have a decidedly anti-mech goal in their creation, with fighter jets still serving around the world and having the speed advantage against mechs.

@Shin All of these pictures of

best girl

keep reminding me that Sunday can't get here soon enough >_>

@Sarcelle Renard

YES. SO MUCH YES. SHE IS THE BEST AND WILL FOREVER BE, I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, SPOILERS BE DAMNED, THE FUTURE BE DAMNED, REM IS THE BEST. I'D LIKE YOUR POST TEN THOUSAND TIMES OVER IF I COULD.

Excuse me for that outburst.

I'm rewatching every episode so far,

SPOILER

after just finishing episode 14, it's so painful knowing what's to come, not just in episode 15 but in episode 18 as well. Darn Toyota, not knowing what's good for him. At least there's Re:Zero If...

Though....

Deeper spoilers for the future, don't read if you don't want to get bad feels for the future

I've been kind of spoiling things for myself by looking up spoilers from the light novels and the web novels and things don't look good for Rem, but I'm not losing hope!

The next episode should be a good one for us Rem fans though, I hear!

Have some good quality Rem!

what am I saying, all Rem is AMAZING quality Rem!

Flight of the Faceless (Flying Mecha and Fighter Jets)

Long Plot Introduction

The world has always been divided, but today, it stands more divided than ever. The Lunar Catastrophe of twenty years ago still constantly reminds the world of the vulnerability of humanity, after the loss of half of the world's population. In the summer of 1996, an explosion rocked the moon as four large meteorites fell to the earth, erasing portions of the Satean and Euran continents and obliterating most of the Shipan archipelago. However, this and the subsequent disasters were only the beginning of humanity's troubles, as a swarm of an alien race erupted from the ruins of the initial earthfall. No one knows whether the invaders were unable or unwilling to communicate with their new enemy as they advanced, eating any human and animal life they came across. Most small arms were unable to pierce the armor of the stampeding enemy as it quickly took over most of the continent of Eura, with the frontlines in Satea barely being held. The cannons of heavier armored vehicles such as tanks managed to take down the beasts, but they were often too slow to escape once the swarm inevitably reached their positions. Even combat aircraft found their match in the flying types of the aliens, which had mobility superior to any fighter that humanity deployed against them.

The first innovations to turn the tides after massive losses came from the Satean nations when the Principality of Remoni deployed the Kerangal Heavy Industries M-01, the first bipedal combat platform. Able to carry heavy weaponry such as cannons all while remaining fairly maneuverable and well-armored enough to take a few hits from the invaders and still be able to operate, its biggest customer outside of Remoni was the Satean Federation, which modified it to create the Combined Arms Unifier Mark I ", a machine based on the M-01, using less armor to give it more maneuverability and using the anti-gravity components from downed alien flying beasts to give the CAU Mk. I the ability to fly above the battlefield and effectively deal with any threat.

Unlike the M-01, the CAU Mk. I and its subsequent variations were never sold to other countries and the Satean Federation used this to singlehandedly fight off the invasion in Satea, Shipan and annex territories elsewhere, establishing itself as the world's main power. By the time the war had been reduced to Eura and part of Shipan, captured CAU's had served to create flying designs in Remoni and elsewhere, but it was too late to make a difference in the war that hadn't been made by the Federation.

Today, this war has become a frozen conflict in Eura and northern Shipan, with Satea and Remoni holding a joint front. However, tensions that have always been held between the countries and the peoples of the world have been lighting up. On the smallest continent, Austris, the western half has broken away from the Empire of Yuka and Wyd to form Democratic Yuka. What remains of the Shipan archipelago is divided between a Satean occupied part and Shipan's original government. Most of the states of Frusa are experiencing internal conflicts as the original peoples of the continent fight against what they see as colonialism by the countries which moved there following the fall of Eura.

However, the tension that could be the most important to the future of the world could be that between two former allies, the Principality of Remoni and the Federation of Satea, two countries officially fighting together in Eura against the extraterrestrial menace, but at each others' throats over the Federation's expansionism and border conflicts between the two nations.

The future is in the hands of the Faceless, young pilots of mecha and fighters from across the world, modified to be the most capable and obedient soldiers possible...

Shorter Synopsis

Heavily inspired by the likes of Muv-Luv Alternative, Code Geass, Ace Combat, Aldnoah Zero and many others, Flight of the Faceless is a spiritual successor to a fighter jet RP on the old Roleplayer Guild, taking place in a fictional world with passing similarities to our own. Following an alien invasion in 1996 of seemingly mindless, man-eating beasts, the world is devastated and divided, but when the Satean Federation makes a critical innovation capable of turning around the conflict, it uses this to establish itself as the world's greatest power and works to take over the world. This innovation is the Combined Arms Unifier, a mech capable of operating in the air and on the ground, with extreme maneuverability allowing it to counter most of the alien forces. The Federation's new power and expansion creates tensions with the neighboring Principality of Remoni, formerly an ally of the Federation in the war against the extraterrestrials.

This prompts the creation of the Faceless by the Remonish conglomerate Kerangal a new type of soldier, using youths taken from around the world who are modified and trained to be the best pilots possible for the domestic versions of the CAU and jet fighters, still formidable opponents against other fighters and CAU's.

You are a Faceless, brought into a war that might not even be your own against your will, forced into loyalty and obedience towards the Principality of Remoni and her allies. How will you shape the future of this shattered world?

Feel free to ask any questions that come to mind and contribute any ideas you have! Thank you for taking the time to read all the way here!

Dogs of War

I'd be interested in seeing the OOC for this once it's up, I've played through every single main series MGS game and while I have zero actual military experience, I'm very interested in it. Also an avid shooter, so that's something.

Sounds like an attractive idea, but I'm planning to get this reboot/sequel started soon now.

@Dynamo Frokane

EDIT: Actually, I say that but I'm more like this inside

Shine City 3: Summer Sequel (Always Accepting)

Back from a busy first half of my weekend, time to contribute as a squatter of this OOC while the new season is prepared...

And thank you for le no spoilers :D I have asshole friends who usually spoil things, so yeah, thanks :P

@Delta44

Part of my enjoyment of a lot of anime is the fact that I just go in blind and am very surprised, and I feel a lot of Re:Zero's enjoyment comes from all the dang twists. There's so many twists it makes mountain roads blush.

...though I do hope we end up on the same side in the war to come, once you get to that episode...

Anyway, as for the general situation of an important co-GM missing, I'd personally like the RP going as soon as possible, especially since everyone is very hyped. I'd be more than happy to help in any way I can when it comes to setting things up, even if no one can 100% replace any particular person.

Déjà vu?

Sorry for the slow reply @Cynder, was a bit busy over the first half of the weekend, but thank you for the warm welcome back! I have actually been on this site before, though I'd prefer to not share my earlier accounts, since I dropped a few RP's on it and I feel that might make a bad impression, with the new start I'm trying to have with this account. The welcome is very... welcome....?

Anyway, if I ever have a question, I'll be sure to come to you, as even with my experience, I still feel I have things to learn.

Though I will say this: if they make a second season, everyone is going to be pissed 5 minutes in XD

@Delta44

Re:Zero hasn't even finished its first season and it's caused a war in places, won't spoil a thing though, you'll know what I mean when it happens. XD

EDIT: Also, already wrote my first post for this... am I getting a little too excited?
