@LongSwordMain: The legs are pretty likely, you could install a tail but I'd recommend it have an actual purpose. Overall I wouldn't go too animal-like overall but like, digitigrade/reverse joint legs are definitely doable.

@Psyker Landshark sums it up pretty well.

@LongSwordMain: Those are the main big influences, and if you need a little more every accepted sheet has a good idea of the range in looks they can have.

Blades of Iron Roses: An Anime-Inspired Knight RP

Fanilly felt resistance to her blade, but with both hands gripping it she pushed.

The abomination's skull gave way. Bone split.

The sword was buried in the creature's brain.

She watched its immense body go slack, and drew her weapon out just as quickly as the abomination collapsed entirely, black ichor clinging to the blade. Rather then blood, it almost smelt like something burning.

Grimacing, the knight-captain flicked her sword in a bid to shed it.

"... Whoever you may have been, your pain ends now," she said, pausing only a moment longer to address the abomination. Even had it been one of the Golden Boars' worst, there was no way they could have deserved such an awful fate to become such a hideous, bloated, twisted monster.

Whoever had done this had to be stopped.

Two of the other abominations had fallen. Many of the Boars, due to the actions of Tyaethe and the headless-yet-still fighting Haelstadt.

But their work wasn't done.

One of the nearest remaining Boars still intending on trying to reach Veilena was also the closest target. Fanilly broke into a sprint, reaching him swiftly and cutting off his advance, deflecting his surprised sword stroke with her own before plunging the blade through his chest.

One of the remaining two abominations was caught up with Sir Lein, but the other was still advancing from further away. They had to take them out as fast as possible---!

---

"I... er..."

It wasn't as if she wasn't here for such a purpose. Those who had surrendered were to be kept stable, at the very least, until they could face trail. But it was a surreal sight to be brought to the side of a man who had such a tremendous gash in his side, surrounded by what appeared to be his brother sitting by his side as well as a dozen or so Golden Boars who had laid down their weapons and sat down, seeming content to try and block out the remaining sounds of battle around them.

She'd heard the Golden Boars punished those they saw as traitors harshly, but in a situation like this perhaps it was simply too difficult to focus on such a task.

"Just... what h-happened here, Dame Tyaethe?" the slim brunette in Mayonite colors asked, as she knelt beside the injured man and brought out her catalyst, a small silver-and-blue rose-decorated scepter. While the injury was very deep and undoubtedly lethal if it were to be left alone, the fact it was a straightforward and relatively clean cut made it all the easier for her to mend.

---

The Boar's advance had largely halted. Even those who were not fleeing or surrendering seemed reluctant to come any closer. A combination of the Iron Rose Knights' cutting them down and the Curse Mage breaking them using her fetch was enough to make even the threat of punishment for failure seem minor in comparison.

Clarice's smug smirk only grew wider at the terror she'd inflicted, but it soon turned to a frustrated glare at the approach of the remaining curse abomination.

Its name was lost. She couldn't use her fetch. And now all the remaining ordinary Boars were out of range.

Her grip tightened on the doll.

She'd really been enjoying herself, but now-

The air beside her was vibrating.

The magical energy seemed to thrum.

Come to think of it, that Cazt heir hadn't said much for a while, since the curse abominations had appeared.

Now Clarice understood why.

"Out of the way, curse cow."

A finely-crafted spell catalyst, blackened wood tipped with a set of golden rings surrounding a bright blue, spherical gem, was gripped in the Veilena Cazt's hand.

It shone brilliantly.

"Hmph. This is why I don't like having so many allies, it takes far too long to determine the right trajectory to avoid them," she commented.

A blue-white light illuminated in the sky above the last curse abomination as it advanced. With a distorted grunt, it seemed to realize something was going on, its ruptured eyesockets turning skywards.

It took a moment for an observer to realize that the light was an intricate magic circle.

And it was only glowing brighter.

"Disappear. Meteor Fall."

The light at the center of the magic circle grew. The vibrating air almost seemed to rumble.

A column of blue-white magical energy exploded from the center of the magic circle, with a sound like every single particle in the air around it was shaking violently. the light illuminated the battlefield, several of the closest Golden Boars stumbling and falling from the sheer brilliance.

The curse abomination was enveloped.

If one were to look, they could see its outline for a brief moment, ever-so faintly, before it seemed to break apart.

The light dwindled just as quickly as it had been unleashed. Soon, it faded to a single thin line, before vanishing completely.

There was nothing left behind. The spot upon which the curse abomination once stood was glowing, the earth beneath the monster having turned to glass.

---

"Aghk?!"

The knife-wielding mercenary mercenary had judged Sir Sergio to be in quite a poor state, one that he wouldn't be so ready to counterattack from. In some ways perhaps he was right, but he had left his own opening when he was shocked by the explosively gory death of one of his allies.

So he was hardly prepared for the sharp blow to his chin, which sent him reeling. For all his tricks, he had made a critical error in his approach.

He had only a spare few moments to realize what was about to happen before his life ended, the sharp spike of Sir Sergio's weapon burying in the side of his skull.

---

One curse abomination still remained.

It bellowed in an unearthly fashion as it lunged towards him, colliding firmly with the pillar that he had leaped upon. But with their positioning, there was no chance for it to avoid his reprisal.

The arrow buried itself in one of its empty eye sockets.

No matter how distorted, the abominations were still quite alive, and thus, the damage was done. Its enormous body slackened after a moment, as it began to slide down against the pillar...

And yet---

One enormous had raised, lunging towards the hundi archer. The curses and malice that had created each of the abominations were not yet ready to die, and now they had all concentrated in a single body.

Perhaps it was the resentment of the people who had become these creatures.

Perhaps it was the curses that had embedded themselves deep within their flesh.

Perhaps it was their creator, manipulating them from a distance.

Whatever the case, one last attack reached out, threatening to crush Sir Lein---!

---

"... A splendid offer, if only to spite the one responsible for this debacle," the Boar Commander replied. But even as he spoke, he readied his stance, raising his shield as his mace was brought to bare, "But I won't accept. If you wish to learn more about the one responsible for this, then it will be with my last breath."

Perhaps, in spite of whatever twisted path the man had followed, he still had some shred of honor from his distant past. Perhaps he placed as much value in single combat as Sir Fionn himself.

With his shield at the ready, he stepped forward to advance, and-

"Well now, we can't have that, can we?"

A soft, male voice seemed to come from the air itself.

"What? You-"

A dark, red-black glow suddenly emanated from the Commander's back. His eyes widened, and he let out a strangled gasp, stumbling forward and clutching at his throat.

"D-Damn you, when did you-gghhk...!"

He retched, and blood poured from beneath his helmet as he stagged, his mace hitting the ground with a heavy thud.

"You've already failed, so it's not as if this can make you fail even harder. I'd rather not have them know my name just yet."

Hitting his knees, the Commander retched again, more crimson splattering to the ground as he struggled to try and speak.

"B-ba... bastaaard...!"

Augmented Machine Mobile Armor: A Gundam and Armored Core-inspired Mecha RP

@Silverwind Blade: While there's certainly going to be plenty of dark elements and moments, I'm not looking to make something totally miserable without any hope.

Augmented Machine Mobile Armor: A Gundam and Armored Core-inspired Mecha RP

Dossier: Redknight

• Name: Valika Mannesson
• Callsign: Redknight
• Age: 20
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "If your AUG ran as hot as MORDRED does, you'd dress like this too. Quit staring, unless you really are enamored with my good looks!" Valika is a short, slender girl, at around barely 5'0/152 cm.
• Personality: Valika is a confident, exuberant girl who seems to provide a contrast to some of the more dour mercenaries operating for EINHERJAR. She is deeply confident in her piloting skills and in the construction of her custom AUG, MORDRED. She is prone to pulling especially audacious moves in combat, to the extent that some question if she has any concern for her own wellbeing. Indeed, at times she adopts tactics that would seem unnecessarily hazardous. She is prone to boasting of her piloting skills and of MORDRED's capabilities, even labeling it with the affectionate nickname 'Momo'. She seemes to take some pleasure in teasing others, as well, projecting a somewhat unexpected attitude for a mercenary AUG pilot.
  
  But, this is only one side of her personality.
  
  Beneath her cheery, confident, and sometimes teasing demeanor is a girl with a great deal of resent towards both sides of the Universal War. Towards the LTS, for destroying the colony she once called home, and the UEC, for abandoning her new home to the neutral zone. Between the two, her resentment for the LTS is far stronger. In truth, MORDRED is, despite its cutesy nickname, a tool she created for the purposes of revenge. One day Valika wants to see the Lemnosian Knight who lead the destruction of the Argyre colony and crush them just like they crushed the lives of so many innocent people. While it is not as if her typical attitude is a facade, it is more apt to describe it as a way of burying her far more negative feelings as deeply as possible. But it is impossible to hide the fact she jumps at the chance to attack Lemnosian forces in the neutral zone, nor is she capable of preventing deep-rooted mistrust towards people of Lemnosian origin. At the same time, she isn't fond of UEC military, especially those in high-level positions, viewing them as the sort of people who were fine with abandoning Bifrost in the neutral zone.
• Skills:
  • Technical Knowledge: While not an engineer precisely, Valika has plenty of understanding of her AUG's inner workings, having participated in swapping out major components of its structure and even some of its construction.
  • Theft: Valika learned how to subtly pocket things early in life, and this eventually grew to the point where she even stole the AUG that would become MORDRED in an audacious theft from Lemnosian forces. Naturally, she didn't do it alone, but she directly hijacked the AUG herself.
  • AUG Piloting Skills: Initially largely self-taught with old loaders and MAs. It was only with the theft of the AUG that became MORDRED that she began to really learn how to pilot an AUG, but she swiftly took to it alongside her rapid customization of the armor, her prior experience in less advanced machines aiding in her understanding of its control systems.
  • Combat: Not particularly impressive, but she's a relatively good shot with a handgun and knows the most sensitive places to kick.
• Brief History: The daughter of a couple of Argyre colonists, whose early days were largely peaceful even after the war began. Argyre was previously thought to be a low-priority target without much cause for attack. Even if an LTS force did arrive, it was assumed it would be small and thus the planet's defenses were relatively light. The last thing anyone expected was an attack lead by one of the Lemnosian knights.
  
  That was exactly what happened.
  
  Declaring the colony of Argyre a target for special eradication, a Lemnosian Knight in a brilliant white AUG lead a particularly intense and violent strike on the colony. The purpose was explicitly for the destruction of the colony and all who resided in it, with the reasoning for such an action never made clear even to many of those who participated in the attack. During the attack, the then six-year-old Valika was taken by her family in an attempt to flee the world.
  
  She last saw them when she was being shoved into vessel bound to leave the planet, in the hands of a family friend.
  
  Her Mother, Father, and elder brother would die on Argyre.
  
  The family friend, a man by the name of Regulan Filber that she knew as Uncle Reggy, eventually brought her to Bifrost and did his best to care for her. Unfortunately, only two years later, Bifrost became the location of the final battle of the Universal War. During the clash, Regulan piloted a MA and was severely injured, no longer able to properly act as the young girl's caretaker. And when the neutral zone was created, Bifrost was seen as being left to wither and die along with much of its infrastructure being destroyed.
  
  It was with a crippled caretaker in a broken world that Valika grew up. It's no surprise she developed a resentment for the UEC, on top of her already-strong hatred for the LTS. It's no surprise that she taught herself things like how to steal, when she had to ensure both herself and Regulan made it through each day.
  
  Even a conditions improved, her resentment simmered. Even as efforts for serious relief began to make changes and finally begin Bifrost's reconstruction, the now-teenaged Valika wanted to find some way to express her feelings.
  
  But instead, she spent much of this time working with basic loader MAs, though she spent some time practicing in their piloting as much as she was able.
  
  Her adoptive uncle passed away five years ago, and it it was perhaps this which prompted the audacious action that followed.
  
  Disguised as low-ranking mercenary agents after hijacking a vessel from the local port, Valika and several of her friends and acquaintances had become aware of a low-level Lemnosian AUG squad that had been operating in the neutral zone. It was deception, hubris, and no small amount of sheer luck that earned them a meeting with the squad under the pretense that they were mercenaries. It was this plan that lead to Valika's ultimate goal: The theft of a Lemnosian AUG.
  
  Disrupting their ship's control systems and fleeing with the AUG in tow, Valika had obtained her prize at the expense of the people she hated most. While plenty of the other stolen items were sold off, she kept the AUG and began practicing with it. It was a different experience from the loader MAs she was used to, but she was able to steadily get the hang of it by building on her previous experiences.
  
  After participating in some low-level work for EINHERJAR, she began to tinker with her AUG's construction, having it repainted red and adding further armaments to it.
  
  Her new goal was still far ahead.
  
  No matter how she hides her dark side, after all, the one person Valika hates most is the Lemnosian Knight who lead the strike on Argyre. Even now, beneath it all, she wants to be the one responsible for their death.

Augmented Armor:

• AUG Name: MORDRED
• AUG Appearance: Greatly altered from its original appearance as a baseline LTS AUG, though overall proportions remain. Its name, and Valika's callsign, are both done in spite towards the Lemnosian Knights.
• Armaments:
  • LUNALIGHT Beam Saber: A UEC-model melee energy weapon, possessed of a pale blue coloration. The LUNALIGHT Beam Saber is designed to combat other AUGs, with a thin, intense blade designed to sear through armor and deliver critical damage to main systems. Due to the modifications done to the MORDRED, the output can be sent into an overcharge mode for additional cutting ability at the cost of rapid energy consumption.
  • LA5678 Beam Rifle: A mid-range beam rifle equipped with two firing modes, one for semi-automatic fire and the other for a charged shot capable of punching through sturdier armor. Capable of benefitting from MORDRED's overcharge system, with similar drawbacks as the Beam Saber.
  • Type-104 Tankbuster: A close-range kinetic weapon resembling a squat, bulky shotgun. An armor-shredder designed to be fired at point blank range for maximum damage.
  • Z-95 Micromissile Array: A missile launcher that releases a cluster of small, homing missiles on each launch, attached to the right rack on MORDRED's back. It is useful at most ranges, though its low yield means the missiles are unlikely to take down more armored opponents on their own.
• Specifications: While it has a roughly conventional silhouette from the outside, the internal components of MORDRED have been altered considerably. This is primarily to make way for further weaponry, in order to allow better support and overcharging capabilities for energy weapons as well as more ammunition storage for kinetic weapons. This involved sacrificing some of the AUG's heat dampeners, causing the armor to run quite a bit hotter then the average model. While not to hazardous levels, Valika does dress very lightly while in the cockpit to avoid overheating. All in all, MORDRED is a mid-weight AUG primarily focused on a variety of offensive options.

@Eisenhorn: Accepted.

Augmented Machine Mobile Armor: A Gundam and Armored Core-inspired Mecha RP

@Bartimaeus: Alrighty.

Augmented Machine Mobile Armor: A Gundam and Armored Core-inspired Mecha RP

@Bartimaeus: I didn't have exact measurements in mind, but in terms of kinetic weaponry it's all going to be pretty massive rounds for a lot of the weapons. They're scaled up to 20-meter on average mecha, after all.

As for the damage they can withstand, it varies in terms of how well-armored an individual AUG is. Mobile Armors are pretty much going to be fodder in most cases in comparison, though.
